Yu Rujia: "Now that you're settled, don't be sad. You'll have many friends when you go back, and they'll come over again every few months. Once you get busy, time will fly by."
"Remember to practice hard when you get back. It took me two or three months to feel the Qi. You're a bit older than me, so it will take you longer to start practicing. But by the time you come next time, you should be able to feel the Qi."
Mentioning the cultivation method lessened Gao Guojing's disappointment somewhat: "How long did it take Sister Rujia to learn to fly?"
Yu Rujia casually gave a timeframe: "One or two years, I guess."
In fact, she had experience and developed a sense of qi in one night. In less than half a month, she was able to fly around.
This was only because she started training when her physical development was almost complete at sixteen. If she had started training at a younger age, it definitely wouldn't have taken this long.
Gao Guojing: "If I start learning a few years later than Sister Jia, it means that in three or four years I will be able to walk around as high as Sister Jia, hehe."
Yu Rujia: "The age at which you start learning martial arts is important, but aptitude is equally important. You can't rush these things, but as long as you practice diligently, you will eventually succeed."
Gao Guojing is confident in himself: "I usually progress very quickly in martial arts training, so my aptitude must be good. Sister Rujia, just wait for the day when I can perform amazing feats."
That's true. Xia Taishun was once a top soldier. As his sons, Gao Shujing and Gao Guojing inherited some of his genes, so their aptitude wouldn't be too bad.
This is also why she wanted Gao Shujing, who was almost nineteen, to practice the Taiyi Heart Sutra.
The fact that the "Bright Moon Heart Sutra" has no age limit is one thing.
Another fact is that Gao Shujing does have some talent for martial arts. As long as he is patient, he will definitely make progress in a year or two.
With things on the bicycle, Gao Guojing jogged behind Ru Jia as she rode towards town. For him, who often accompanied the troops on training exercises, this distance was no problem.
The bus from the town to the city was at 1:30. After arriving in town, the two waited for a while before a bus came.
Yu Rujia instructed, "I will be waiting for you in the brigade office at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Remember to call us to let us know you are safe."
If all goes well, Gao Guojing should arrive home around 11 a.m. tomorrow. To allow more time in case the train is delayed, she scheduled the call for 5 p.m.
Gao Guojing: "I understand. Sister Rujia, go back now. It's Duofu and the others' first time visiting someone else's home, and I don't know if they'll be comfortable."
Having spent over a month with Duofu and the others, and only an hour after leaving, he already started missing them; Gao Guojing's nose felt a little sore.
Duofu and Duoshou were not used to living in Huang Guihua's house at first, but fortunately, Duolu and Duoxi, who were forgetful, made a fuss in the middle, so that they did not have time to pay attention to the sadness of parting and the restraint brought by the unfamiliar environment.
After Huang Guihua returned, she specially cooked rice to entertain them. The little ones who had eaten at home didn't have much of an appetite. In addition, the dishes at their house were far inferior to those at Yu Rujia's house. Even Duolu, who usually loves to eat, couldn't swallow his food.
Tao Hua and Duo Fu both told Huang Guihua that they had eaten lunch at home. Seeing that they really couldn't eat anymore, Huang Guihua didn't force them.
After lunch, Huang Guihua stopped Gou Dan, who was still licking his lips, and instructed him, "Gou Dan, take Duo Fu and the others out to play later. Keep an eye on them and don't let them get bullied."
Dog Egg savored the braised meat he had just eaten, patted his chest and said, "Duofu and the others are my own brothers. Anyone who dares to bully them is bullying me, and I will definitely beat them to a pulp."
Huang Guihua: "Yes, that's how it has to be. If they can't beat us, they can come back to us. In short, we can't let anyone bully Duofu and the others."
Gou Dan, a child of similar age, led Duo Fu and the others to play. The group quickly joined Gou Dan's small group. With more people around, Duo Fu and the others, still children at heart, immersed themselves in joyful play.
When Rujia returned, she was greeted by four dirty babies.
Belatedly realizing what was happening, Duofu tugged at her dirty clothes with a bit of embarrassment and cautiously called out, "Auntie."
Yu Rujia patted his little head: "Duofu, did you have fun?"
Duofu grinned and said, "I'm happy." Then he glanced at her nervously a couple of times, and seeing that she wasn't upset, he added, "It's just that my clothes are dirty."
The carefree Duolu rushed over and hugged Yu Rujia's leg, rubbing against her: "Auntie, I want to play more."
Yu Rujia pulled his small body away with one hand and grabbed Duoxi, who was also rushing towards her, with the other: "If you like to play, play a little longer. You can wash your clothes if they get dirty. Just have fun. Remember the way home, okay?"
She returned after dropping off Gao Guojing. Apart from taking some things out of her spatial storage when no one was home, she didn't waste any more time picking up the little ones.
It's only a little past two o'clock now, and there are still three or four hours until dinner. The little ones can take this time to get to know more of the other kids in the group.
Duoshou puffed out her little chest: "Auntie, I remember the way home."
Yu Rujia patted his head and praised him, "Hmm, our Duoshou is so smart. How about you take your older and younger brothers home after you've had enough fun?"
Duo Shou happily flashed a row of tiny teeth: "Okay."
When Duolu sat down at the table for dinner, he looked left and right but didn't see his playmate. He asked in confusion, "Auntie, why isn't Uncle Guojing here for dinner yet?"
While having fun outside, he forgot about the atmosphere of parting. When he got home, Tasuku remembered it and was feeling down when he heard Taroku's question.
Duo Shou couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "Idiot, Uncle Guo Jing went to study in Jiangcheng. Didn't he say that this morning?"
Duolu then realized what was happening, but he stubbornly insisted, "I'm not stupid. I remember there's nothing good to eat in Jiangcheng. Uncle Guojing is so pitiful; he's cried so many times. Auntie, when is Uncle Guojing coming back?"
Yu Rujia: "It will take a few months. When Duoxi can speak as fast as Duolu, Uncle Guojing should be back."
At one year and one month old, Duoxi is still only able to utter two or three words at a time. In five months, the little guy's speech will definitely be just as good as Duolu's now.
When Duoxi heard his name, she pulled her head out of her rice bowl and stared with her big, adorable eyes: "Auntie, hehe."
Doro stopped waving his chubby little hand with the spoon and turned to look at the little follower sitting next to him, only to see the silly look on his face.
With a serious expression, Duolu promised, "Auntie, I will teach Duoxi to speak so that Uncle Guojing can come back sooner."
Yu Rujia: "Well, then I'll leave it to Duolu."
