However, over the past few days, A Jin's enthusiasm for learning kung fu did not diminish.
Every time the child came back from his training, his body would be covered in dust, and even his inner clothes would be drenched in sweat.
On the first day, he was so tired that his back ached and his waist ached. He kept tossing and turning the whole night without being able to sleep at all.
Seeing this, Su Zhi's heart ached. She tried to persuade A Jin to give up, or she was slowly rejected.
Thus, the woman targeted Xiao Qian. With such intense training, how could it be called teaching a disciple? It was as if they were recruits.
”Mother, please let me go. Uncle Xiao said that it was hard in the beginning, but when I finally catch up, I won't be so tired anymore.”
Early in the morning, Su Zhi had blocked A Jin's path, and had handed Little Dou Zi over for him to take care of. She refused to let him go out and practice no matter what.
Su Zhi pretended to be pitiful, ”I don't care about the food of so many people, I can't take care of your sister. Don't go anywhere else today, just keep an eye on her.”
A Jin was discouraged. She gloomily squatted to the side and played a game of stone-catching with the small bean bag.
The woman was busy with her work. She did not understand, ”I do not understand why you must study martial arts now. You are still young and have trained to the detriment of your health. Why do you have to work so hard every day?”
”Mom, A Jin wants to learn martial arts to protect you and her sister. In the future, no one will dare to bully you.”
As Su Zhi was peeling the beans, she heard A Jin's explanation and stopped what she was doing.
Ever since he found out about Nie Rufeng's death, this child became even more sensible. It was unknown if he was worried that she would miss her late husband, so he happily smiled at everyone and even helped her clean up the kitchen. Now, he even said that he must practice kung fu with Xiao Qian.
This child was so sensible that it caused one's heart to ache.
She sighed, not at all pleased.
If Nie Rufeng hadn't died in battle, the kid definitely wouldn't have died in such a way. It was a pity that the heavens could never predict the future.
”Mom is not opposed to you learning martial arts. It's just that you are still young and your training is difficult. How can you do this with your thin arms and thin legs?”
A Jin didn't answer, instead, she picked up the stone with the back of her hand and threw it into the air. A few times, she caught the stone with the back of her hand.
Seeing that he was staying and playing with his sister, Su Zhi did not say anymore and stood up with a blush.
Only after her mother had left did A-Jin whisper into her mother's ear. ”Little Dou Zi, do you want to see Uncle Xiao?” Let's go find him. ”
”Looking for Daddy ~”
The bean bun smiled sweetly and suddenly remembered that there was someone like Xiao Qian. She stopped grabbing stones and stood up to run outside on her short legs while mumbling 'Daddy'.
When Su Zhi heard the commotion, she turned around and saw Little Dou Zi sneaking out of the tent.
”Ah, where are we going?”
A Jin quickly replied, ”Maybe she wants to go out to play. Mother, don't worry, I will bring her back.”
Su Zhi nodded and let them go.
This trip lasted for several hours, and even at dinner time, there were still no signs of the two children.
Su Zhi thought that they were just having fun outside, but she didn't see anyone when she went out to call them, so she naturally went into Xiao Qian's camp.
It was good that she didn't go, but when she did, she saw Xiao Qian holding a small ball in his left hand and a ruler in his right.
A Jin was riding on the side. His tired legs were trembling, and his face was a lot paler than before.
Xiao Gan said, ”Keep your lower body stable. A bit lower and you'll almost stand up.”
Su Zhi flew into a rage and went forward to pick up A Jin, who was on the verge of collapsing, and began to curse, ”I told you to look at your little sister, but you actually saw me here? If only you had come here to suffer and bear the hardships, you would have already planned to return to Tranquil Village.
Seeing that Su Zhi had gotten angry, A Jin immediately grabbed her arm and acted like a spoiled child, ”Mother, I was wrong.”
Su Zhi angrily took the small bean bag from Xiao Qian's arms. With a gloomy face, she scared the little girl so much that she cried out loud, ”Daddy! Daddy!”
Damn it, this damn child was really in pain for nothing!
