Early in the morning, Zhou Yuanyuan woke up to a burst of shouting.
She opened her hazy eyes and looked around. That was right! She was still living at her grandfather's house in Zhaojiagou. But why was the yard so bustling so early in the morning? What happened?
Zhou Yuanyuan put on her clothes and opened the window, and was immediately stunned by the "accident" in the yard.
In the courtyard, two men, one large and one small, were doing horse stances with their bare chests. If Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't been so familiar with the surrounding scenery, she would have almost thought she had traveled through time. Isn't that right? Since there's a chance of rebirth, then traveling through time isn't out of the question.
The wind was blowing coldly, and Zhou Yuanyuan was quite worried about the two of them, one big and one small, dressed like that. To be honest, what if they caught a cold?
This was the first time Zhou Yuanyuan had ever seen Zhao Qingshan dressed like this. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that her grandfather could actually practice martial arts.
Zhao Qingshan had a red belt wrapped around his waist and loose dark blue bell-bottom trousers on his lower body. The trouser legs were tied with leggings of the same color as the belt, and he wore a pair of black round-toed cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles. Combined with his horse stance that looked like a real "martial artist" in later Hong Kong and Taiwan movies!
And then there was that little brat, Wen Ziqing, dressed exactly like Grandpa. One tall, one short, they were both in a horse stance, motionless, punching the air and shouting "ho" and "ha."
From her observations over the past few days, Zhou Yuanyuan concluded that her grandfather, Zhao Qingshan, was not one to show off. He was always very low-key and never boasted to others.
Could it be that Grandpa is also a martial arts master? Zhou Yuanyuan wondered.
Martial arts! If I learn it well, I don’t know if I can fly over rooftops and walls, but I definitely won’t let others beat me up or bully me at will. Zhou Yuanyuan was excited.
As the saying goes, if you rely on a mountain, it will fall; if you rely on water, it will flow; relying on others is not as reliable as relying on yourself. Strong fighting power is not only pursued by men. Zhou Yuanyuan, who was reborn as a little loli, is particularly eager for this thing called fighting power.
If Zhou Yuanyuan's fists were strong enough in her previous life, she wouldn't be able to fight back when her cousin bullied her. If Zhou Yuanyuan's fighting power was strong enough in her previous life, the man who often beat and abused her would have no room to maneuver. No matter who bullied her, Zhou Yuanyuan could fight back without mercy.
After taking off her thick cotton jacket, Zhou Yuanyuan happily joined the group waving their fists.
From that day on, when Zhao Qingshan taught Wen Ziqing how to practice martial arts, there was a little figure beside him.
Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan swinging her arms and legs, Zhao Qingshan's heart beamed with joy. Zhao Qingshan wasn't a pedantic person; family martial arts wouldn't be passed down to daughters-in-law, not daughters. Of course! This was also because Zhou Yuanyuan was of Zhao family blood. If it were Wen Ziqing, Zhao Qingshan would have made her a "Zhao family member" before he would teach her.
My grandson-in-law is a member of the Zhao family, barely! Zhao Qingshan was very proud of the "young couple" who had taken their studies seriously.
Practice has proven that Zhao Qingshan's vision is far better than his daughter Yunxiang's. Didn't you see the son-in-law he chose for Yunxiang, Wen Yulun? Compared to Zhou Zhixin, Yunxiang's own choice, he's not even a little bit better!
My dear little Jiu~! Grandpa should find a good grandson-in-law for you as soon as possible, rather than you figuring it out when you grow up. Girls are the easiest to be deceived. Look, your mother Yunxiang is a living negative example! Ziqing is such a good kid, at least when he grows up he will be strong and powerful, and he will definitely be able to protect his wife and children.
Zhao Qingshan taught Wen Ziqing martial arts out of his love for her talent.
Zhao Qingshan was even happier to learn from her. Zhou Yuanyuan had Zhao family blood flowing through her veins, and being a descendant of the Zhao family, learning Zhao family kung fu was, in Zhao Qingshan's view, a matter of keeping all the benefits within the family.
However, Zhao Qingshan didn't have high expectations for Zhou Yuanyuan due to Zhao Guohui's talent. In Zhao Qingshan's opinion, he didn't expect a girl to master martial arts, but learning some basic self-defense techniques was good enough.
Zhao Qingshan didn't object, and Wen Ziqing had no objections either. Compared to when he first arrived in Zhaojiagou, Wen Ziqing still looked cold and aloof, but in fact, he got along well with the Zhao family.
When Wen Ziqing arrived in Zhaojiagou, he hadn't expected to stay, and his luggage consisted of only a change of clothes. Wen Yulun had left in a hurry, leaving him only two hundred yuan and not taking Wen Ziqing on any shopping trips.
Wen Ziqing had lived a rough life in his previous life. Aside from the clothes issued by the army, he had never taken care of his own clothing. Having two sets of clothes to change into was a normal thing for him.
Zhao Yunxiang was attentive. Seeing that Wen Ziqing had been wearing the same two sets of clothes for several days in a row, and only washed the other set after one set was dry, she understood Wen Ziqing's current situation.
After Zhao Yunxiang learned about Wen Ziqing's life story from her father, Zhao Qingshan, she felt a pity for the young man. It seemed unbelievable to Zhao Yunxiang that a child of twelve or thirteen could barely speak a word all day. Hadn't you seen Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhou Jiasheng, chattering and jumping around all day long? They were never idle.
Zhao Yunxiang believes that Wen Ziqing is a poor child. Born in such a family, although he has everything he needs materially, he lacks the love from his relatives.
Zhao Yunxiang was already a mother with a strong sense of maternal love, and after learning about Wen Ziqing's background, she treated her child like her own. That same day, Zhao Yunxiang went to Sanhe Town to buy some cloth and sewed several sets of clothes for Wen Ziqing overnight, including underwear and outerwear.
The next morning, Wen Ziqing saw several sets of brand new clothes by his bed, and his eyes welled up. He had finally found a benefactor! Aunt Yunxiang treated him with all her heart, and even the kick from Sister Yuanyuan that accidentally kicked him in the waist and abdomen had helped to unblock a blocked meridian.
Zhao Qingshan said that people who learn martial arts consume a lot of physical energy and should eat more meat, poultry, eggs and other foods.
Zhao Yunxiang cooked a variety of dishes every day to nourish everyone. Wen Ziqing saw Zhao Yunxiang's love and care in the complex dishes she prepared. Wen Ziqing's mother passed away early, and in two lifetimes, Wen Ziqing had never enjoyed her mother's love except for seeing her in photos.
Wen Ziqing was quiet, but he was well aware of the good intentions of the Zhao family. Zhao Yunxiang's actions exemplified what Wen Ziqing considered a mother's love. With his marriage to Zhou Yuanyuan already settled, Wen Ziqing unknowingly began to consider himself part of the Zhao family.
Wen Ziqing was less inquisitive and more concerned about Zhou Yuanyuan, who was always trying to play pranks on him. Regardless of whether Yuanyuan was reborn or not, in this life, she was his wife. All he had to do was stay by her side and wait for her to grow up. That was all!
Zhou Yuanyuan had no idea about Wen Ziqing's psychological changes. In her opinion, Wen Ziqing was just a cold block of ice all day long.
