"I can endure it."
"Then I'll go wait in the main room. I'll call you when it's time."
"good."
Song Qinghui responded while sitting in the bathtub.
Stepping out of the bathroom, yes, this house does indeed have a dedicated bathing area. Although simple, it is a separate space that makes it convenient for the family to clean themselves.
Actually, rural people only take frequent baths in the summer. In other seasons, to avoid catching a cold, it's good to take a bath once every ten days or half a month. Therefore, in those days, very few people built a special bathroom at home.
However, Song Sanhe and his wife were very clean, especially Song Sanhe, who was more particular. So, when they built the house, they built the bathroom at the same time, and even the outhouse was a squat toilet with flushing.
Even now, some villagers still talk behind Song Sanhe's back about his fussy habits.
"Little sister, can my little brother and I learn some martial arts from you?"
"Of course you can. You can learn the horse stance from Second Brother first, and then learn the moves later."
"Should we take a medicinal bath?"
"As long as the older and younger brothers can endure the pain, a medicinal bath will naturally help."
Just as Song Lan replied to Song Qingbin, Song Qinghui cried out in pain from the bathroom.
Song Guoqing: "Second brother seems to be in a lot of pain?"
Song Lan smiled and said, "I told your second brother that he should just bear with it and it would pass. It's nothing."
"Sister-in-law, does that mean my younger brother, sister-in-law, and I also have to..."
Hearing Song Qinghui's cries of pain, Qin Boyan felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't help but ask Song Lan, but ultimately didn't reveal what happened next.
Song Lan understood what he was trying to say, and she nodded: "That's right, I'll arrange it for you later."
Upon hearing this, Qin Boyan opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
He knew that although it was his sister-in-law who initially asked them to learn martial arts, they didn't resist it much; in fact, they longed for it. Well, except for Qin Yaxin, that lazybones. Now they need to take medicinal baths, and to be honest, his sister-in-law hadn't kept this from them.
If they were to give up halfway through their martial arts training, Qin Boyan was certain that he and his sister-in-law would suffer greatly at their sister-in-law's hands.
After all, the sister-in-law had confirmed with them whether they wanted to learn from her, and asked them if they could endure hardship. They nodded on their own, insisted on learning, and made a promise that they were not afraid of hardship or pain. Only then did they officially begin learning the horse stance.
A person must keep their word and be trustworthy. Qin Boyan could naturally see that Song Lan, their sister-in-law, was a person who was extremely serious in both her words and actions!
Based on this, he will have to grit his teeth and endure the pain of the medicinal bath!
If he were screaming in pain, or even threatening to quit martial arts, Qin Boyan didn't dare to think about it...
As time passed, Song Qinghui finished his medicinal bath and came out. Song Lan then took his pulse.
"It works well. Let's go to the yard. I'll teach you a couple of moves. Before I come back next time, you not only need to continue practicing the horse stance, but you also need to practice these two moves I've taught you properly."
"Um."
The brother and sister came into the yard, ignoring the stares of their family members. Song Lan slowly demonstrated two moves, explaining them to Song Qinghui as she did so.
"Isn't this movement a bit too slow? Is it potentially lethal?"
"I did this so you could see it clearly."
"oh."
"Do you understand now?"
"Um."
"Then demonstrate it for me."
"What I'm demonstrating now is just for show."
"I know, let's begin."
Song Lan's expression was serious. After she finished speaking, Song Qinghui slowly demonstrated the two moves he had just learned, mimicking her movements.
"How about it?"
He asked.
"The movements are not up to standard."
As Song Lan spoke, she stepped forward and taught Song Qinghui step by step, then said, "Now you demonstrate it to me again."
Song Qinghui nodded.
To everyone's surprise, Song Lan was still not satisfied after his demonstration. She demonstrated it again herself and taught him step by step. This was repeated several times before she finally showed a satisfied smile.
"good."
She gave her affirmation, saying, "I will demonstrate the whole set of kung fu. Watch carefully and learn as much as you can. But you must master the two moves I taught you before I come back next time. Otherwise, I will have to postpone the rest of the moves."
"Don't worry, this is for me to learn skills. I won't work hard for three days and then slack off for two."
Song Qinghui made a guarantee.
"That's good."
Song Lan smiled and nodded slightly. Then, she said to Song Sanhe and his wife, Song Qingbin and others, "I'm going to perform a martial arts routine for everyone. If I do a good job, please give me some applause."
"good!"
Qin Boyan and Song Guoqing shouted it out directly.
The others smiled and nodded.
"I'm going to start!"
As soon as the words left his lips, Song Lan displayed a set of martial arts moves with effortless grace and powerful force, leaving everyone in the family in awe.
As Song Lan finished her last move, applause rang out.
"Sis! You're amazing! I could even see the leaves on the ground around you fluttering up!"
Song Guoqing was extremely excited: "I want to learn kung fu too, I want to be a kung fu master!"
"I think you can be a coward!"
Li Jumei smiled at her youngest son: "He's usually as reserved as a girl, and doesn't talk much. You can't get a word out of him, but today he's surprisingly cheerful!"
Song Guoqing blushed: "I'm a boy, and I'm not talkative because I don't want to speak, but I like my sister and want to talk to her more. I'm especially happy when I see my sister, is that not allowed?"
"Mom, stop teasing your little brother. If he starts crying later, you'll have to comfort him."
Song Qingbin's words were clearly a joke at Song Guoqing.
"Big brother, you're the one who's crying. I'm a middle school student now, a big kid. I won't cry like a girl just because of a few words."
