Chapter 59 So, practicing martial arts is a good way
Zhou Shitang took a bite of rice and said, "By the way, I found out that the two trees in that aunt's house are indeed lychee trees. It's the same aunt who sold me the eggs."

"Auntie said that if we want to buy lychees, we have to bring money, but we don't have any money. Let's try to fool her when the time comes. I don't mean to lie to her. The medicinal materials are still very important."

Zhou Shiruo was pleasantly surprised, "Really? Can we eat lychees now?"

Zhou Shitang: "There is still one month left for the lychees to mature."

Shi Qingxiao glanced at the vegetable garden, then looked at Zhou Shitang, "Tangtang, we can grow vegetables, but can we grow lychee trees?"

Zhou Shitang was silent for a while, "If you plant lychee trees, it will take two or three years at the earliest to bear fruit."

Zhou Shiruo frowned, "It took so long, I thought I could eat it soon after planting it."

Zhou Yancheng said: "The lychee trees will not be planted anymore. When the lychees mature, we will find a way to buy some and eat them."

Shi Qingxiao had no objection, "Then let's stop planting. Let's fill our stomachs first and postpone other things."

My stomach is almost full, so it’s better not to spend so much energy planting lychee trees that will take at least two to three years to mature.

Zhou Shiruo felt it was a pity that if there was a lychee tree at home, she could eat as much as she wanted.

But she also knew her mother was right.

It takes two or three years to mature. Who knows what changes will happen in these two or three years. If the lychee trees they planted are dug up and robbed, then their work will be in vain.

After eating, everyone packed up together, those who moved the tables moved the tables, and those who washed the dishes washed the dishes.

Zhou Shimu continues to make chopsticks. He has already made two pairs and will make four more pairs for his family of six, each of whom will have a new pair of chopsticks.

Zhou Yancheng washes dishes.

It's not dark yet.

Zhou Shitang went into the room to change Zhou Shiye's dressing, and then continued walking.

Zhou Shiruo trotted over, stood opposite Zhou Shitang, and asked curiously: "Tangtang, can you become a martial arts master like this?"

Zhou Shitang nodded, "Uncle Su said this is the most basic part of martial arts training. Stabilize your stance. Sister, you can practice with me too. There's no harm in doing it anyway."

"Oh." Zhou Shiruo said, following Zhou Shitang's movements, he also stepped forward.

Zhou Shitang helped her correct them one by one.

Shi Qingxiao saw the movements of his two daughters and smiled, "You should pay attention to the time. When it's almost time, go take a bath and go to bed."

Zhou Shitang and Zhou Shiruo said in unison: "I know."

After burning the incense, Zhou Shiruo's legs began to feel weak and his face became sweaty.

Zhou Shitang: "Sister, hold on."

Zhou Shiruo originally wanted to stop, but when she saw that her sister was still trying to hold on even though she was very tired, she felt that she could hold on for a while.

The two sisters worked together for another half an hour.

In the end, Shi Qingxiao saw that it was getting dark and kept urging them to take a shower, so they stopped walking.

Zhou Shiruo was so tired that he collapsed on the ground, gasping for air, "I'm so tired. If I keep practicing, I can lose ten pounds."

She turned her head to look at Zhou Shitang and saw that her sister's face was covered in sweat, "Tangtang, can you hold on?"

Zhou Shitang nodded, "Yes, sister, we must have the ability to protect ourselves and persist no matter what. We finally found a martial arts master. We must cherish this opportunity."

Zhou Shiruo originally didn't take martial arts seriously, but after hearing Zhou Shitang's words, she felt that she should also take it seriously.

She lowered her head and thought quickly.

Someone used to protect her when she went out, but not anymore.

If she encounters any danger when she goes out, she, a weak woman, cannot resist.

If something happens to her, her family will also be worried.

Therefore, practicing martial arts is a good way.

Zhou Shiruo raised his hand and poked Zhou Shitang's head, and said with a smile: "Tangtang's head is better for melon seeds, let's go take a bath together." "Okay, then you can lie on the bed and rest." Zhou Shitang agreed.

The two sisters went hand in hand to get hot water to bathe and wipe themselves.

After Zhou Shimu made two pairs of chopsticks, he became more and more proficient. After Zhou Shitang and Zhou Shitang completed the horse stance, he also made four pairs of chopsticks.

Zhou Yancheng came over, picked up the chopsticks he had made, touched them, and said with a smile: "Well done."

Zhou Shimu glanced inside the room and said, "I hope my third brother can change his habit. It's not good if it's too serious."

"It's difficult." Zhou Yancheng looked at the sky, "His problem has been there since he was a child. How can it be so easy to change?"

Zhou Shimu remembered that his father had just told them not to plant lychee trees. He guessed that his father knew that they would not stay here for long, so he did not let them waste their efforts planting them.

Once planted, they need to be maintained. If they are gone and cannot be eaten, then they are white.

Zhou Shimu lowered his voice, "Dad, how long are we going to stay here?"

Zhou Yancheng looked at his son with deep eyes and smiled, "I'm not sure either, so don't think too much about it and just stay here."

"Don't tell them either, lest you rejoice in vain. After all, that person is getting more and more moody."

Zhou Shimu's eyes were deep and he understood.

Judging from what Dad said, it's still possible for them to leave here, but they don't know the specific time.

He nodded, "I see."

Zhou Yancheng's eyes fell on the back of Zhou Shimu's hand, and he was stunned for a moment, "Did you get this injury from learning a craft?"

Zhou Shimu nodded, "So I decided not to learn any craft work. My eldest brother learned it well. If you need anything in the future, just ask him to do it."

"I'm not the material to learn this. It's difficult to learn, so I won't waste time and energy."

Master Zeng's expression at that time almost drove him out with a stick.

If he doesn't learn anymore, Master Zeng will probably feel much more relaxed.

Zhou Yancheng smiled and said, "You can decide for yourself."

He stood up and said, "Okay, you should go to bed quickly. We may have to build a house tomorrow."

The next day, at dawn, the Zhou family got up one after another.

as usual.

Shi Qingxiao makes breakfast.

Zhou Yancheng helped in the kitchen.

Zhou Shitang took the mushrooms and medicinal materials and went out to dry them.

If you water the vegetables every week.

Zhou Shimu went to fetch water.

Inside the house, Zhou Shiye moved his legs and felt better. He slowly straightened up, moved his feet, placed them on the ground, and tried to stand up.

The next moment, he fell back in pain.

After Zhou Shitang finished drying the mushrooms and medicinal materials, he heard Zhou Shiye's cry of pain and ran into the house quickly. When he saw him sitting up, he frowned, "You don't want your legs!"

Zhou Shiye had a deceived expression on his face, "Ah Huai lied to me. He clearly said that my injury was not serious and that I would recover soon, but I ended up lying in bed for two days."

I feel tired even when lying down. I tend to have random thoughts and nightmares when I have nothing to do.

There was no paper, ink, pen or inkstone for him to pass the time, so he simply lived like a year.

Zhou Shitang: "I remember he said it was ten days and a half. You've only been here for two days. Your leg has been injured to the bone. How can it be healed in two days?"
