Chapter 122 The Last Disciple
A few days later, Bai Yu attacked Tubei Village again.
The noble young master came this time in a rage, his face full of resentment.
He blocked the Su family's courtyard, first dragging Su An, Su Wen, and Su Wu, and angrily demanded, "Just tell me, are you better with me or him?"
The three boys were completely confused. "Master Bai, what are you doing? Do you even need to compete for this?"
"Don't worry about whether I want to compete or not. Just answer, are you better off with me or him?"
The three looked embarrassed. "How about you let us think about it first and then answer?"
One is the young master of the Bai family, the son of half the city lord, so it is best not to offend him.
One is their little benefactor who lives in their house, their junior fellow apprentice. They can't just say they don't protect him and turn their elbows outward.
The three of us are really in trouble.
It’s hard to answer, so just leave it alone…
Bai Yu's face darkened even further. He suddenly turned to look at the little baby squatting beside him, watching the fun. He rushed to her, hands on hips, nose pointed to the sky, "Su Tianbao, tell me, am I good to you, or is he good to you? Think it over, then answer me! You like to fight, I've fought with you several times, and I always lost. I also gave you gifts, treated you to meals, and took you to my house to play!"
Tianbao, "What are you competing for? You two don't have the last name Su."
His surname is not Su, and he is not a member of my family. What does it have to do with me whether he is good or not?
"..." Bai Yu and Wei Li both understood what the little baby wanted to say, and both stood there in a daze.
They both realized a little bit that Tianbao was a kind-hearted person with some shortcomings.
The adults of the Su family saw the kid making a fuss and saw that the young master of the Bai family seemed a little embarrassed, so they suppressed their laughter and came out to smooth things over.
Su Da leaned out of the main hall and said, "Young Master Bai, what's going on? What happened that has caused you to be so upset?"
Finally someone asked the right question. Bai Yu was so aggrieved, his delicate face fell into a state of disarray as he gritted his teeth and complained, "They all went to learn skills from Mr. Huo, leaving me behind! I treated them as my friends, but they took this new guy with them and not me!"
Su family, "..."
That’s not true. This time, they really weren’t the ones leading the team. It was Lord Duan Dao who came forward to let Wei Li learn from Mr. Huo.
Although their family also has this idea...
But if you really compare them, Wei Li and Bai Yu are indeed different.
Bai Yu has a father who spoils him to the sky. He has everything he wants. Only a child who has someone who loves him and can rely on can be like Bai Yu and have the confidence to do anything.
Wei Li lost everything and came to their house under such circumstances. The little kid probably couldn't get out of the mentality of living under someone else's roof.
If you want Wei Li to truly integrate into this family, in addition to the attitude and way of getting along with the Su family, it will take time, a very long time.
If they wanted Wei Li to truly feel a sense of belonging to this family, they, as adults, would first have to treat this child as their own. Would they dare to treat Bai Yu as their own child? Bai Yu already had a father.
Therefore, there is no way to compare the two children, and there is no need to compare them.
Liu Yuelan was more thoughtful. Seeing the anger in Bai Yu's eyes, she smiled softly and said, "Young Master Bai, do you also want to learn skills from Mr. Huo? If so, you'll have to discuss it with Mr. Huo yourself. As long as you truly want to learn and impress Mr. Huo, I think he won't hesitate to teach you."
Bai Yu walked into the main hall with a pout, sat down on the empty stool, and said angrily, "Aunt, you don't understand. My father asked Mr. Huo to teach me a long time ago, but Mr. Huo never agreed. Otherwise, I would have been the eldest senior brother long ago!"
Su Er, "That was before Mr. Huo accepted disciples. Maybe things are different now? How about asking your father to ask Mr. Huo again?"
"That must be a request, I absolutely cannot be left behind!" If Dad can't beg for it this time, it doesn't matter, he still has a way!
Bai Kui personally came to Tubei Village that night and entered the Huo family's courtyard. The Su family didn't know what they talked about, and it was not convenient for them to ask more.
But from the second day on, there was a little figure at the door of Huo's house. He did nothing but kneel in front of the door, his little body straight and straight.
Under the scorching August sun, the little kids went into the Huo family yard for morning study and returned home around noon after finishing their studies. The young master of the Bai family knelt without slacking off for a moment.
Not just that day, but every day that followed was like this.
The people in Xiao Su's family were so moved by their kneeling that they became soft-hearted.
"The sun is so strong! Such a small child has been exposed to the sun for so many days. The fair and tender little master is about to be tanned into charcoal."
"Whether Mr. Huo accepts disciples or not, and who he accepts as a disciple, is something he can decide alone. We, the others, have no right to interfere."
"Honestly, I thought the Bai family's young master was just like that. He would go to the Huo family's door and make a scene, but I didn't expect him to be so serious and sensible. He knelt down as soon as he was told to, and he knelt for so many days."
"Let's keep an eye on it while we're home. It's very sunny outside. Bring the kid a couple more trips to water him... I see he's really serious about learning a skill."
When the kids were in the Huo family's courtyard, Du Buqin was the most idle. When he heard the Su family gossiping, he jumped over to join in the fun.
The old man narrowed his triangular eyes and looked at the small figure kneeling outside with his back to the Su family. "I didn't realize this kid has such a big temper."
Old Man Su asked with a smile, "Old Du, what do you think of him?"
Du Buqin snorted and smacked his lips, "When we get old, this world...will be a world for young people."
It was almost noon when school was over and the gate of the Huo family courtyard opened.
Mrs. Huo came out with one hand on her waist and carried the kneeling kid into the yard.
After a while, the sound of children's laughter could be heard in the yard.
"Another junior fellow is here!"
"Hahahaha, Master Bai, you've become the youngest this time!"
"Bai Yu, call me Senior Sister!"
Bai Yu's voice was the loudest, dry and hoarse from the scorching sun, "Master! Master's Wife!"
The people in the Su family courtyard dispersed with smiles on their faces.
Even the other residents of Tubei Village, who had been standing at their doorsteps and looking forward to the situation, smiled and went home.
Bai Yu became the last disciple of Huo Ziheng.
At this time, the rice in the rice fields outside Tubei Village was ripe.
On the banks of the Qing River, the sun is still scorching, illuminating the earth in a blazing white.
The river breeze blows from the river, brushing across the paddy fields, pushing out layers of golden rice waves, and the air is filled with the fresh fragrance of rice.
The villagers stood on the ridges by the road and in the fields, looking at the bent rice stalks in front of them, laughing, shouting, and sobbing.
"It's planted, it's planted, and we can harvest the rice. There are fewer empty grains and more rice! It's much better than we expected!" Wang Chuan squatted on the ridge of his own rice field, holding a handful of rice plucked from the rice stalks. With his white teeth shining and his eyes red, he reverently raised the grain high up to show everyone.
Li Xiaoxiao's rice fields are right next to his home. The skinny little man's skin is tanned from working in the fields. "No need to wait, harvest the rice right away! Once the millet is milled, we can eat rice too! We really won't go hungry this year!"
