Chapter 319: Twenty years of hard work is not as good as your twenty days of cheating?
When Grandma Yue brought out today's lunch from the kitchen, she didn't even glance at her pitiful grandson who was kneeling in the corner. She just brought out the food in silence, put Yue Rong's meal on the table, and she herself ate in the kitchen.
Yue Rong was used to eating alone at the dining table. He didn't care about his son who didn't allow him to eat, nor did he care about his mother who avoided him and went to the kitchen to eat. He just followed his own will, turned over all the dishes on the table, ate the ones he wanted, and when he was full, he left the mess on the table and went back to his room to sleep.
There was only leftover soup on the table.
When Yue Huaixiu saw his father enter the room and he could no longer see him, he cautiously peeked at the messy table, trying to see if he could secretly eat some leftovers.
Hearing the sound of Yue Rong closing the door outside, Grandma Yue finally came out of the kitchen. She said to Yue Huaixiu who was kneeling in the corner, "Go to the kitchen and wash the dishes before you continue kneeling."
Yue Huaixiu stood up silently and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
When Yue Huaixiu was punished by Yue Rong, if Grandma Yue ordered him to do some work, Yue Rong would not have any objection. After all, his purpose was to punish Yue Huaixiu, and in his opinion, working and kneeling were equivalent punishments.
However, Yue Huaixiu still prefers to work, because working is just tiring and his knees will not hurt from kneeling.
And... after Yue Huaixiu entered the kitchen, he saw a bowl of rice with some vegetables on it as expected. The portion was not much, but it was just enough to fill his small stomach.
Yue Huaixiu quickly took a pair of chopsticks, quietly hid in the corner of the kitchen and began to devour the food.
He had to eat quickly, otherwise if he dawdled and was caught by his father, not only would he be beaten, but even his grandmother who secretly left food for him would not have a good outcome.
Grandma Yue was outside cleaning the table. When she had cleared all the plates and wiped the tabletop clean, she went into the kitchen and saw that Yue Huaixiu had already finished that bowl of food.
Grandma Yue really wants to say that eating so fast is bad for the stomach.
But when she thought of her son who was still lying in the room and didn't know whether he was asleep or not, she sighed silently in her heart.
It is always better to have something to eat than nothing to eat. As for the speed of eating, there is no condition to pay attention to it.
Grandma Yue put all the dishes in her hands into the sink, and then really handed the job of washing dishes to Yue Huaixiu, and also reminded him: "You can wash slowly, but make sure to wash it clean."
You can eat quickly, but don’t be silly and wash the dishes too quickly. The less time you have to kneel, the better.
After Grandma Yue finished speaking, she turned and left the kitchen to clean up outside. She would go out to pick up trash later. After all, she was old and had no pension. The coffin boards she had saved had long been used by Yue Rong, the unfilial son, to buy wine. Now the three members of the family depended on the little money she earned from picking up trash for food, clothing and shelter.
Sometimes my grandmother Yue thinks that if she runs away alone, abandoning her unfilial son and grandson, and supporting herself by picking up scraps, her life will definitely be better than it is now.
But as a mother's instinct, she still couldn't completely abandon the child she had carried for ten months. Even though she could no longer love him as much as before, she still couldn't give him up. And she couldn't completely ignore her young grandson Yue Huaixiu...
Then just live in a daze. After all, the house is yours and you don’t have to pay rent.
Although Yue Rong was a bastard, he was just an alcoholic, lazy, and violent person. He didn't gamble, so the house was retained.
Grandma Yue’s life isn’t so bad that she has no where to go, and she can still endure it.
Yue Huaixiu stood on a small stool in the kitchen, washing the dishes in the kitchen sink with some effort, one by one very seriously. He deliberately washed his own bowl first, then hid it in the cupboard, and then slowly washed the other dishes.
Yue Rong, who came out to drink water because he was thirsty, did not see Yue Huaixiu kneeling in the corner. He strolled into the kitchen and saw Yue Huaixiu washing dishes. He glanced at the dishes in the sink.
Because there are small people, the number of bowls and plates is clear at a glance: two bowls and three plates.
Yue Rong didn't care, nor did he think there was anything wrong with his six-year-old son standing on a stool to wash dishes while he turned a blind eye.
However, considering that the boy was able to work, he did not ask him to continue kneeling and wasting labor.
After Yue Rong finished drinking the water, he took a bottle of wine back to his room and started drinking. The sound of a football game being broadcast on TV came from the unclosed door. Grandma Yue, who was cleaning the living room, and Yue Huaixiu, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, both breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the sound of the TV.
When Yue Rong is drinking and watching a football game in the room, he will not come out for at least an hour. This period of time is a safe period for both the grandparents and the grandchildren.
Yue Huaixiu quickened his pace in washing the dishes. After finishing the dishes, he returned to the kneeling corner. However, this time he did not kneel. Instead, he sat down with his eyes closed and practiced the breathing method taught in school.
Grandma Yue saw it but pretended not to see it and continued with her work. However, she also paid special attention to Yue Rong's movements in the room to prevent Yue Rong from suddenly coming out and seeing Yue Huaixiu like this.
Yue Huaixiu sat down and practiced the breathing method, but he was designated as a loser in practice by the original plot, so naturally he couldn't achieve much result from his practice.
It’s not that the breathing method is bad. The breathing method created by Si Yuan is not picky about people. Even a useless person like Yue Huaixiu can still practice the breathing method. There is no need to worry about never being able to get started because of his poor talent.
It only takes an ordinary person a few days to get started, but it takes Yue Huaixiu dozens of days; an ordinary person can see some results after practicing for more than a week, but it takes Yue Huaixiu more than a month to feel the benefits of the breathing method.
The biggest advantage of the breathing method is its universality and lack of bottlenecks. Even a useless practitioner like Yue Huaixiu can, through hard work, hone the breathing method to perfection bit by bit.
However, the breathing method was only created by Si Yuan to lay the foundation for everyone. It was also a way to select geniuses based on the speed of cultivation. Even if it was cultivated to the perfect level, it would not have much power and could only strengthen the body.
Yue Huaixiu was not clear about these differences, he only knew that his progress was much slower than that of his classmates, so he could only work harder in private and seize the time to practice the breathing method. He was not like his scumbag father, who practiced slowly and could not perceive any benefits or effects, so he practiced intermittently.
