"You've become an apprentice? No problem, it's great. Learning kung fu is even better, it'll improve your health. When I have time, I'll visit your home and bring you a small gift as a token of my apprenticeship!"
Zhou's mother nodded, "Yes, there should be a gift for taking a master. Did you two give one? We brought some local specialties with us this time, so you can give some to them."
Xu Mingzhao felt a little guilty when she heard this topic.
He essentially sold out his brother-in-law just to curry favor with someone powerful. I wonder if his parents will be angry when they find out.
Um, and just now, they seemed to be calling Uncle Xiao "Brother Xiao".

My parents aren't that kind of people. They wouldn't make their child suffer when they don't have to, the kind of people who force hardship where it's not theirs!
Zhou Aiguo forced a weak chuckle.
"Um, Mom and Dad, my master is the Party Secretary's nephew, the same nephew of Uncle Xiao who brought you here. Uh, he's twenty-five years old this year!"
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou exchanged glances, then looked at the delicious food on the table.
These wretched kids! Couldn't we have waited until they finished eating before we started talking?
