Chapter 110: Chi Quan
Lu Yao and Rong Yan brought the things back with them and had no intention of taking them back.
However, they are not going back so soon, so just leave it aside for now.
The two families sat together and chatted, and the first thing they naturally cared about was each other's living conditions here, whether they had adapted, and whether there were any difficulties.
The Pu family did not think that they were showing off their superiority by asking this question, nor did they think that they were deliberately neglecting them by coming to them now.
When they learned that Rong's uncle had been rehabilitated and was right here, although they were surprised, they had no other thoughts. But after they entered Fushan Village and learned about some of the situation there, they realized that the Pu family really benefited from the Rong family.
In Fushan Village, as long as you work hard and do your own thing well, you don't have to worry about not having a job.
As for the few who say sour words and try to take advantage of them, they simply ignore them.
Just like the sentence I heard most on the road before, everyone is exiled, and no one is nobler than anyone else.
Compared to the bad situations I heard about before, the situation here is much better.
Lu Yao, Rong Yanhui and others had been observing the character of the Pu family along the way. They had not changed their character in such an environment, so there was no reason why they would settle down and change after arriving at a certain place.
The two looked at each other. Lu Yao talked to Mrs. Pu and the children, while Rong Yanhui chatted with Mr. Pu and Pu Zhiwen.
"I remember that Brother Pu and you used to work in the Ministry of Industry?" Rong Yanhui took the initiative to speak.
Pu Zhiwen nodded.
He was just a small official in the Ministry of Industry, and many things needed to be done by these people. The credit would never go to him, but if there were any problems, he would definitely have to take the blame and be punished.
This time his family was implicated because there was a problem with the higher-ups, which pushed him, a small-time nobody with no power, out.
"Do you know anything about carpentry?"
Asking the Pu family, this was also a decision made by everyone in the Rong family after discussion.
They now want to make a waterwheel, but they have no basic knowledge of carpentry. Even if they understand how the waterwheel works, it will be difficult to make it in a short time. They must have someone who knows carpentry to work together to complete it better.
"My carpentry skills are not very good, but my grandfather's craftsmanship is quite good. He made some of the furniture in our house."
Their family had a small fortune and even had servants working, but since his father liked carpentry, they just let him do it.
Rong Yanhui chatted with the two for a few more minutes before finally asking, "Would you two be willing to help us with some carpentry work?"
When the father and son of the Pu family heard that the other party wanted to ask them to help with work, there was no reason for them to refuse. They were worried that they would not have the opportunity to thank them for helping their family, so they nodded in agreement. When they heard that the other party said that they would calculate the wages, they waved their hands repeatedly, indicating that they refused.
It's just helping out with something, it's not much trouble, why should I ask for money?
Besides,
If we accept the money, would it still be considered as our gratitude to them?
Rong Yanhui explained: "What we need to do is very complicated and it won't be completed in a day or two."
Mr. Pu immediately said: "I'm fine, old man, I just happen to have a place to kill time."
Rong Yanhui would naturally not agree to ask them for help. Firstly, after two months of contact, he felt that the Pu family had good character and was the best choice at the moment. Secondly, none of the Rong family knew carpentry and they really needed someone who could help. Instead of going outside to find someone they didn't know, it would be better to ask a reliable person nearby.
When Mr. Pu heard that the other party was going to hire someone outside, he immediately quit. What? Did he dislike the old man's old age and clumsiness? Then consider it as wages. However, the amount of wages is not up to the other party to decide.
Rong Yanhui nodded in amusement, indicating that the old man had the final say in everything.
As for what happens next, we’ll talk about it later.
The two people each had their own "ulterior motives" and reluctantly reached a cooperation agreement.
Pu Zhiwen, who was standing by, didn't even have a chance to interrupt before he was sold out by his father.
He scratched his head embarrassedly, "Brother, I, I'm not very good at carpentry, will it be a hindrance?"
"I asked you to learn from me, but you refused. Now you regret it, don't you?" Mr. Pu said with disgust.
Pu Zhiwen chuckled: "It's not too late to learn now."
I will take root here in the future. Only if I have a skill can our family live a better life.
After they finished talking, they sat for a while, agreed on a time, and invited Xiaobao to go play with Haohao and his sister during the day before they said goodbye and left.
That bowl of braised pork must be left.
Now that they are not on the road of exile, it is not convenient for them to send food to others. Now that they have arrived at the destination, they naturally don’t have so many concerns. It’s just some food made from pig offal, which is not worth much.
The Pu family no longer refused. Although they owed the Rong family a lot, now that they had a way to repay the favor, they no longer worried about having no way to repay.
"Mrs. Pu, when you are free, you and Auntie can do needlework and chat with us." Lu Yao made an invitation.
Madam Pu nodded in agreement, then added, "My last name is Lu, you can just call me Sister-in-law Lu."
Lu Yao followed suit and immediately changed her words.
In this way, the two families seemed to be closer.
After everyone left, Mrs. Lu was about to put away the bowl of braised meat on the table and cut it up for everyone tomorrow. But when she turned around and met the eager gazes of her three children, her heart sank, and she smiled: "Mom, go cut some for everyone to try."
The three children nodded repeatedly.
They haven't had meat for a long time and are really craving it.
Mrs. Lu cut a small piece of pork head into thin slices and put it into the bowl. After thinking for a while, she took a piece of braised intestine and cut it into triangles with a rolling knife. After hesitating for a while, she simply cut half of the braised duck and some more pork head. She didn't stop until she had cut half of the ones Lu Yao and the others had sent.
Everyone hasn't eaten good food for a long time, so let's indulge in it all at once.
However, because there was no food in her stomach, she was worried that her stomach would not be able to handle it, so she did not dare to eat too much.
Not only that, some pills were also prepared for the three children and two elderly people, which were also sent by the Rong family.
This family is really nice. Not only are they considerate and thoughtful, but they also take their feelings into consideration. I have to say that what my father-in-law said was right.
When the family saw the bowl of meat, their eyes turned red.
Mr. Pu said to his son, "We have to work harder to help with the work."
Otherwise, it will become increasingly difficult to repay this favor.
Pu Zhiwen nodded. The Rong family not only took care of them, but also saved their lives. His family would always remember all of this. Now that he had the opportunity to repay them, he must do his best.
Lu Yao and the others were unaware of the Pu family's thoughts. When the family returned to their yard, Mo Zhu had already boiled water, and Lu Mingxiu had also finished washing up and was doing some simple exercises in the yard.
Lu Yao became interested and practiced a set of Tai Chi with her brother.
Tai Chi is a must-do for many health enthusiasts in modern times. Practicing it every day may not necessarily lead to the same power as a Tai Chi master who can overcome hardness with softness and defeat a hundred enemies alone, but it does have the effect of strengthening the body.
Lu Mingxiu not only dotes on his younger sister, but also trusts her. If she says there is something beneficial, he will do it.
In short, my younger sister would never harm herself.
The two children found it interesting and followed suit.
Although the movements seem simple, they are not easy to do. The movements are slow and there is nothing intense about them, but they make people sweat.
Tai Chi is divided into five schools: Chen style, Yang style, Wu style, Wu style, Sun style, and He style. The set of Tai Chi that Lu Yao practiced was a simplified version of Tai Chi, with only 24 moves. It absorbed the essence of Yang style Tai Chi, was more refined, and fully embodied the characteristics of Tai Chi.
This set of Tai Chi is mainly for strengthening the body. She learned it when she was in school. Their school held a Tai Chi competition. She led the whole class to win the first place. She also represented the school to participate in the city-wide competition at the city gymnasium and won the second place.
When Rong Yanhui saw this, his eyes lit up and he immediately decided to take his uncle, cousins, sons and nephews to exercise every morning.
Lu Yao thought about a group of people boxing, and it seemed that it was not impossible.
After washing up, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
The two children were still demonstrating some of the movements they had just learned.
Lu Yao found it funny but did not try to stop them. Both children were well-behaved and sensible. It was rare for them to be so innocent and playful.
Not only that, Lu Yao would also give them some reminders when they scratched their heads, and would correct them if they made any mistakes.
The mother and her two children played for a while. When Rong Yan returned to the room, he saw that the two children were still awake. He directly asked his sister Yao to go to rest first, and he patted the two little guys on the head, indicating that it was getting late and it was time to go to bed.
"Mother has to go up the mountain tomorrow," he said.
When they heard that their mother was going up the mountain and had to get up early, the two children immediately got into bed.
"Good night, Daddy and Mommy."
"Good night, Daddy and Mommy."
Haohao and Yueyue quickly closed their eyes, and their actions were extremely strong.
Lu Yao chuckled and kissed the two children on the forehead one by one:
"Good night, Yueyue."
"Good night, Haohao."
She sat back on the bed and asked the man about his research on the waterwheel today. If there was anything he didn't understand, they could study it together.
Rong Yanhui rubbed her head, saying that they were still at the first place and didn't need it for the time being. He also urged her to rest quickly, as going up the mountain not only required getting up early, but also would be very tiring at the end of the day.
Lu Yao didn't act pretentiously. She said good night to the man and soon fell asleep.
He fell asleep almost as fast as Haohao and Yueyue.
Rong Yan curled his lips, blew out the candle, walked to the bed, gently kissed Lu Yao on the lips, and then lay down beside her.
The next morning, Lu Yao and the others got up, washed up, and went next door.
These days, Lu Yao and her friends, including Lu Mingxiu and Mo Zhu, have their three meals a day at the Rong family next door. Their kitchen is currently used to boil water for washing.
The men had to study, the women were planning to open a shop and do business, and since the uncle and nephew had been reunited for more than ten years, Lu Yao did not suggest spoiling the fun by eating separately.
Ye Jiayue and Lan Xin got up early to prepare breakfast. In addition, they also had to prepare food for going up the mountain.
It takes a lot of time to go into the mountains. No matter how fast you go, you will have to wait until the sun sets before you can come back, and you will have to finish your meal on the mountain at noon.
Lu Yaojian and the other two were busy in the kitchen, and he rolled up his sleeves to help, but was driven out of the kitchen by his two sisters-in-law.
What a joke! She was the one who prepared both lunch and dinner. If she had to prepare breakfast, they would not have the nerve to do that.
No matter how good the relationship is, it cannot be wasted like this.
Lu Yao knew their personalities and did not stay in the kitchen any longer.
There is still some time before breakfast, so it’s a good time to practice Tai Chi with everyone.
Haohao and Yueyue, who were still asleep, woke up instantly. They still hadn't remembered many movements.
