Chapter 168 Martial Arts Wizard
Next, Yingbao planted some cantaloupes and courgettes in the vegetable garden.
In addition to these, she also planted several rose, peony and other flower seedlings in the yard.
In order to prevent the flower seedlings from being pecked by chickens, Yingbao drives the chickens out of the cage every day and drives them out of the yard, scattering some grain outside for the hens to peck at.
However, a few chickens seem to want to nest in their nests recently, and they stay in their nests all day long and refuse to move.
Upon seeing this, Chun Niang quickly placed a dozen eggs in each nest, and also placed a bowl of water and a bowl of wheat grains and millet next to the chicken coop so that the hens could hatch their chicks safely.
Mrs. Tang smiled when she saw it and asked, "Chun Niang, when the chicks hatch out, can I exchange some eggs for them?"
"You can just take a few of them back when the time comes. No need to change them." Chun Niang agreed.
You can raise at most a dozen chickens at home, but if you have more, you will suffer. The chicken poop will be all over the yard, and the chickens will be killed.
The reason why Chun Niang let the chickens hatch the nest was because her elder sisters-in-law, second sister-in-law and mother-in-law all wanted a few.
Even Mrs. Wen's nanny wants to raise a few chickens so that she can eat eggs easily in the future.
"Well, chicks also need eggs to hatch." Tang said, "That's it."
"Okay. I'll leave you with a dozen or so when the time comes."
The two talked for a while before Tang left and went home.
In early spring, every household has a lot of work. At this time, they not only have to plow the fields to plant rice millet, but also clear the fields to prepare for planting cotton.
At this time, the strains should also be taken out from under the straw curtains to allow them to be ventilated and exposed to light. When the weather warms up, they can start to be divided.
Ying Bao took advantage of today's rest and quickly moved all the seedlings out of the cave.
Like chestnut saplings, apple saplings and loquat saplings.
This time she did not tell her parents, but went to the orchard to plant by herself.
Her family's orchard is very large, half of it is wasteland and half of her father's Yongye field.
The chestnut trees planted before have grown up and were just grafted last year. They are expected to bear fruit this year.
Yingbao planted more than a dozen chestnut saplings next to the chestnut trees, and several apple saplings next to the two apple trees.
Several other loquat saplings were planted in the open space on the edge of the orchard.
Water the saplings and cover them with bamboo covers to prevent them from being eaten by chickens.
Dad said that he would reclaim this wasteland and plant all kinds of fruit trees. Later, he would build a wind pavilion at a high place. When the fruits mature, the whole family would come here to eat the fruits and enjoy the cool air.
Ying Bao walked around the orchard and saw the apricot blossoms and the peach blossoms. She couldn't help but grin when she thought about the endless fruits she would eat in the future.
A stable life with adequate food and clothing is the most comfortable life.
"Sister, sister!" Jiang Jie hurried over, followed by two puppies.
"What's wrong?"
Ying Bao hurried over to greet him, "What happened?" To make his eldest brother Jiang Jie so panicked, something must have happened.
Jiang Jie grabbed his sister's sleeve and panted: "My uncle who lives in our vegetable garden insists that Xiao Wu watch him perform a chest-breaking performance. If he doesn't watch, he won't let him go. Sister, go and have a look!"
What is this...? Is there such a weird request?
Ying Bao ran back as soon as she could.
When I ran to my vegetable garden, I saw a man named Zhang Meng lying on the ground in a single suit, rolling his eyes. There was a lot of gravel and dirt on his chest.
Xiao Wu squatted on the ground and stared at his chest, marveling.
Xu Kun held a big hammer in his hand and asked, "Do you want to learn martial arts from uncle? In the future, you will be very powerful and can fight three with one."
Jiang Wu blinked and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"What?" Xu Kun didn't react for a moment.
Jiang Wu stretched out his finger and poked Zhang Meng's chest, "Will it hurt here?"
"How could that happen?" Xu Kun laughed and kicked Zhang Meng, telling him not to lie down and get up quickly.
Zhang Meng took a deep breath, slowly sat up, and looked at Xu Kun with a look of resentment: "Where did you find the stone?"
I didn't know how to do some tricks. I hammered it several times before it broke into pieces. I almost knocked out the overnight meal.
Xu Kun winked at him, signaling him to shut up and stop talking. Turning to Jiang Wu, he said, "He doesn't feel any pain at all. It's pretty awesome."
Jiang Wu: "You're lying. Uncle Zhang's face turned pale and he didn't get up for a long time. He must be in pain."
As soon as Zhang Meng heard this, he immediately got up, turned his head and grinned in pain, then turned to Jiang Wu and smiled: "It really doesn't hurt. Uncle, I have practiced peerless magical skills, and I am strong."
"What is peerless magic?" Jiang Wu had never heard of this term and was very curious.
Zhang Meng coughed lightly, "It's the kind of Kung Fu that makes you very powerful in fighting."
"Then you can practice for me." Jiang Wu was even more curious.
Zhang Meng glanced at the two children of Jiang Cunzheng's family standing nearby and hesitated for a moment.
Xu Kun thought that this was an important opportunity and winked at him desperately, "Let's practice. The three children are watching."
Zhang Meng had no choice but to endure the pain in his chest and perform a set of punches.
"It looks good!" Jiang Wu clapped his hands and shouted repeatedly: "One more! One more!"
Zhang Meng was speechless.
This brat thinks of himself as a showman.
Ying Bao looked at these two people with admiration.
I didn't expect them to be so skilled.
Even though he only had one set of punches, in Ying Bao's eyes, this person had powerful punches and agile movements. He was indeed a good practitioner.
I had practiced dancing in my previous life, and had seen warriors boxing and wrestling, and I could tell by comparing them.
"Uncle Zhang, do you really want to teach my brother martial arts?" Ying Bao asked.
Zhang Meng nodded immediately after hearing this: "Yes."
"Why should you teach him?" This is something Ying Bao doesn't understand.
Do they want to make money as martial arts instructors in the village?
It's not impossible. There are many children in the village, and a little education from each family is enough for them to live a good life.
Zhang Meng said seriously: "Jiang Wu has excellent bones and is a good martial artist. Although I am disabled, I have also fought on the battlefield. I don't want such a genius to be buried."
Ying Bao was thoughtful.
My younger brother can learn martial arts, and he will not be afraid of being bullied in the future. If he grows up and is drafted into the army, he will be able to protect himself.
And she knew that Xiao Wu disliked studying very much, and she tried many methods but could not change his dislike of studying.
Until now, his calligraphy skills are like those of a caterpillar, incomparable to Xiaojie's.
"Does Uncle Zhang want to open a martial arts school in the village?" Yingbao asked.
Zhang Meng paused for a while and nodded: "That's true."
Ying Bao: "Okay, I'll go home and ask my parents what they want."
After that, he took Jiang Wu and Jiang Jie home.
Zhang Meng and Xu Kun looked at each other and smiled, "The matter is half done."
Everyone in the village knew that the daughter of Jiang Cun's family had a lot of weight at home, and her parents would consider what she said and listen.
Just now, I wanted to lure the little kid to learn martial arts from him, but I didn't expect that kid didn't understand.
Fortunately, his sister didn't object and wanted to go back and ask her parents what they wanted.
"It's worth it! You didn't suffer in vain today." Xu Kun chuckled.
Zhang Meng rolled his eyes at him angrily: "If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten. What happened to the stone just now? Why didn't it break even after beating it several times?"
Xu Kun blinked: "I didn't want it to look real. That kid from the Jiang family is a thief and a thief. He just keeps an eye on him. I don't dare to do anything."
