Chapter 76: Brother is confused by his father’s appearance.

Zhou Mingyi hummed. He thought of what his mother had gone through and warned him uneasily, "Tangtang, you and Ruoruo should be more careful when you go out in the future, and run away if you can."

When Zhou Shitang heard this, she knew that her eldest brother had already learned the whole story from her aunt, and she nodded seriously.

Zhou Yancheng and Zhou Shimu frowned at the same time, before they had time to ask in detail.

Zhou Mingyi straightened up and turned to look at Zhou Yancheng, who was hard at work chopping firewood over there, "Second uncle, I'm going back."

Zhou Yancheng looked at Zhou Mingyi with joy, smiled and encouraged, "Practice your martial arts well, I still count on you young people to protect me."

The person Zhou Mingyi admired most since childhood was Zhou Yancheng. When he heard his words, his chest was filled with strength and his eyes were shining.

He felt that he was not tired at all and could even walk all night.

Zhou Mingyi nodded repeatedly, "I listen to my second uncle."

Zhou Shitang's mouth twitched when he saw him, as if he had been beaten with blood.

The eldest brother was confused by his father's appearance.

She remembered that her father also did a lot of shocking things during his exile, but her eldest brother didn't seem to remember them at all. Could this be the charm of an idol?

Just as she was about to speak, she received a death stare from Zhou Yancheng.

Zhou Yancheng knew what his daughter was thinking as soon as he saw her expression, and gave her a cold look to shut up.

Zhou Shitang blinked, but after all, he still did not destroy his father's image in his eldest brother's heart.

Zhou Mingyi got into the kitchen and greeted Shi Qingxiao, "Second Aunt, when I learn the craft, I will come over to help."

Shi Qingxiao smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for you."

She had watched this solid-eyed child grow up, how could she not know what he was thinking.

Probably because of Li's words, I was embarrassed to face them, so I tried my best to make up for it.

Having lived under the same roof for so many years, she had a certain understanding of Mr. Li.

Zhou Mingyi's eyes were crooked and he left with brisk steps.

Only then did Zhou Yancheng have time to ask, "Tangtang, Ayi told you just now, is there something that happened that we don't know about?"

Zhou Shimu also turned his doubtful eyes to Zhou Shitang, waiting for her answer.

Facing two pairs of doubtful eyes, Zhou Shitang sighed softly and said softly, "A Huai and I went to dig yellow soil and met two men..."

She told the whole story in one breath, "I've finished, that's probably it, so the eldest brother really realized the importance of martial arts training. I remember that he didn't take it seriously before."

Zhou Yancheng and Zhou Shimu's expressions instantly darkened. They did not expect to encounter such a thing so soon. Fortunately, Su Huaili was there at the time.

They couldn't even imagine what would happen if Su Huaili was not there. Tangtang's skinny arms and legs were no match for two strong men.

Zhou Yancheng picked up the ax and struck it down hard, as if he was attacking the two bad guys.

After splitting it, he still felt unrelieved.

Zhou Shitang suggested, "Dad, you can also practice martial arts with us. Although you are old, it may be difficult to achieve any results, but it is good to strengthen your body."

"When you encounter people who don't know how to use martial arts, you can use brute force to beat them away."

Zhou Yancheng had a black line on his face. What do you mean he is old? He is in his prime, okay?

He glared at Zhou Shitang.Zhou Shitang smiled and said, "Dad is still young, so practicing martial arts will definitely be effective."

Zhou Yancheng threw away his ax and walked to Zhou Shitang's side.

Zhou Shitang started coaching again.

……

Zhou Shiruo went to fetch water with two buckets. On the way, she met Zhou Rushan who was returning from fetching water. She snorted, pretended not to see him, and walked past Zhou Rushan without looking away.

Zhou Rushan saw Zhou Shiruo from a distance. She bit her lower lip. When Zhou Shiruo ignored her, she clenched her left hand tightly. Finally, she couldn't help but say, "Second sister, help me say thank you to third sister."

When Zhou Shiruo heard this, he stopped suddenly, took a few steps back and came to Zhou Rushan, tilted his head and stared into her eyes, blinked, with a look of disbelief on his face, "Sister, I'm so surprised."

"I didn't expect you to take the initiative to talk to me. You still asked me to help you thank Tangtang. However, there are two things I don't understand. Why do you want to thank Tangtang?"

"And why are you suddenly not cold-faced to me?"

Zhou Rushan put down the wooden bucket filled with water, a trace of embarrassment flashed in her eyes. She really still hated Zhou Shiruo's aggressive appearance.

But it was true that the boy Zhou Shitang knew saved her mother, and she was very grateful.

Zhou Rushan lowered his eyes slightly, was silent for a moment, and told what he heard from his mother.

When Zhou Shiruo heard that Zhou Shitang was almost robbed, he slammed the barrel in his hand to the ground. His face was livid, and he wanted to rush up and have a fight with them to relieve his hatred.

After Zhou Rushan finished speaking, his eyes were indifferent, "That's probably it. Tangtang also indirectly saved my mother."

Zhou Shiruo suddenly realized, "Don't worry, I will convey it to Tangtang word for word."

She lowered her head to look at the two wooden barrels that she had smashed to the ground, with a distressed look on her face. She walked over and carefully picked up the barrels. She carefully checked whether there was any damage. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no damage. .

With her sharp eyes, she saw some mud on the barrel, and quickly wiped it off with her sleeves.

These two wooden barrels are precious things. They are the ones from which the whole family drinks water, so they cannot be broken.

Zhou Rushan was very puzzled when he saw her behavior. If he felt sorry for the barrel, why did he smash the barrel to the ground?
Even if you are angry again, you should control your temper.

The barrel was not broken. What if it was something else fragile?

However, she did not express her doubts. Although she was the eldest sister, she had never taught Zhou Shiruo and Zhou Shitang, nor did she feel that she needed to teach them.

Anyway, my second uncle is here, right?

Zhou Rushan finally said, "You should be more careful when going out in the future."

Zhou Shiruo was even more surprised when he heard this. The eldest sister who had always been cold to them would actually take the initiative to care about them. It was simply incredible.

She couldn't help but tilt her head and stared curiously at Zhou Rushan, trying to see some trace of why she suddenly cared about them on her face.

But after looking at it for a long time, she didn't see anything different about Zhou Rushan.

It was also the first time that Zhou Rushan said such words to Zhou Shiruo. She looked away unnaturally and stumbled: "Grandma said, no matter how we fight internally, we must act unanimously when encountering danger."

When Zhou Shiruo heard his grandmother, he immediately became serious and nodded in agreement, "Yes, even if I fight with you to the death, if someone bullies you, I will still stand up and help you fight."

When Zhou Rushan heard her straightforward words, he nodded casually, then bent down, picked up the barrel, and ran away.
