"You silly boy."
Madam Zhang chuckled, "Doing farm work in the countryside is also very hard, even harder than your martial arts training. You definitely wouldn't be able to handle it."
"Mom, it's possible, but we need to let this brat experience some hardship."
Zhang Lao Er couldn't help but say, "He's a young man, and it's good for him to suffer a little. There's no way to arrange a job for him right now if he stays at home, so it's better than you going to the countryside to suffer."
"I'm not afraid of hardship..."
"Mom, of course we know you're not afraid of hardship."
Old Zhang took over the conversation, his tone filled with worry, "You are frail and prone to illness. What if you suddenly fall ill in the countryside and can't find a doctor?"
"Let Wenxi go to the countryside, and you stay here and we'll take care of you."
"It's alright, I'm in good health..."
Before she could finish speaking, Old Master Zhang interrupted her, "Old woman, it would be better if you stayed."
The eldest brother is right, your health is getting weaker and weaker, you can't keep pushing yourself."
"But……"
"Don't say but."
Grandpa Zhang understood her thoughts. "We've been through so much together, what are you afraid of? Just wait for me to come back."
If something happens to you in the countryside, how am I supposed to live?
How can the children stand it?
You stay home and rest, I'll go to the countryside and work it out for a few years and then come back. We can still live a good life then, it's better than both of us ruining our health.
"Yes, Mom, you're so afraid of the cold in winter, and it will be even colder in the countryside. We're worried you won't be able to handle it."
"Mom, if you stay, you can help me deal with these little rascals. They only listen to you."
"Mom, please don't go through all this trouble. You're making us all worry."
"Grandma, I want to sleep with you. Please don't leave us."
...
After being persuaded by the whole family, Madam Zhang hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
She looked at the person beside her, "You promised you'd come back to be with me soon."
"If I don't spend time with you, who else can I spend time with?"
Grandpa Zhang didn't care at all about showing affection in front of the younger generation. He looked at her tenderly and said, "You stay at home and wait for me to come back."
Besides, going to the countryside isn't like going to jail. I'll come back to visit you often.
When the weather gets warmer, you can visit me in the countryside and stay for a while before coming back.
