Pig Killer

Chapter 156

"I know." Huang Yuanji nodded obediently and said, "Study hard and practice diligently."

"I know you help with household chores, so it's impossible for you to just train." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her dark eyes and said, "Then integrate the training into your normal life." Then she said, "For example, fetching water." She came forward with two wooden buckets, holding the buckets with her arms outstretched, "Like this..." She smiled and continued, "When you have practiced to a certain level, you can carry a full bucket of water from the water source back home like this."

"What's so difficult about this?" Huang Yuanji said quickly.

"Let's try it!" Shen Hui'e said as she put down two empty buckets.

Huang Yuanji stepped forward, carrying two empty barrels, and stretched out his arms easily, at shoulder level, "Is it easy?"

"Go to the front yard gate." Shen Hui'e said to him with a smile on her lips.

"Simple." Huang Yuanji walked forward carrying the wooden barrel. After passing the main room of the hall, his hand dropped down.

"Hey! Brother Yuanji, hands, hands..." the big tiger reminded him.

"Let's not force it! We can't let ourselves get hurt." Shen Hui'e took the wooden barrel from his hand and said, "This is the result of years of practice, rain or shine, and it's impossible to achieve success overnight." She smiled and said, "Practice with an empty barrel first." She looked at him gently and said, "For example, when practicing big characters, you can practice in a horse stance, which kills two birds with one stone." She paused and said, "There are things we can use everywhere in life, and we don't have to train specifically."

"Got it." Da Chong and the others nodded obediently.

"Second Aunt, I want to learn martial arts, but how can I convince my father and the others?" Huang Yuanji said worriedly, "I'm afraid it will delay the important work."

"Just say that when doing business, you will meet all kinds of people. Learn some boxing and kicking techniques to protect yourself." Shen Hui'e said casually, "Your father used to fight a lot. You will know when you go back and ask him."

"Really? False?" Huang Yuanji looked at her with disbelief.

"They were also your age. What did you do when you were your age? They all did it. If you don't believe me, go home and ask your grandmother." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with a smile.

"I'll go back and ask my grandmother," Huang Yuanji said excitedly, "Isn't my age too old? My arms and legs are old."

"Hehe..." Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed when she heard that, "Learn whatever you want to learn. It's never too late." She smiled and said, "Let's stop here today! It's getting late." She looked up at the beautiful sunset.

"We are leaving." Huang Yuanji and the others bowed in unison.

"I'll see you off." Shen Hui'e walked them out of the house and watched them leave.

When Huang Yuanji and his friends returned home, they naturally told their family what had happened at their second aunt's house.

The noise and clamor made the family members also very upset.

The next day, Huang Mu came running over and looked at the shelf with a look of curiosity, "This is interesting!"

"Let the children practice self-defense, and they can also protect their father." Shen Hui'e looked at her with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "Money can make people's hearts sway. There are always people who are jealous and like to take crooked paths. What if they get kidnapped or something?"

Huang's mother's face changed drastically when she heard this. "Yes, yes, yes! It's good to know some boxing skills." She looked at her gratefully and said, "You are very thoughtful."

Family members know their own business, and she knows how profitable the suspended ceiling business is.

"I'll build a stand in the backyard when I get home." Huang's mother said seriously, and asked curiously, "By the way, how did you do that?"

"It's from slaughtering pigs." Shen Hui'e said without blushing or panting, and walked to the kitchen with a large knife, gesturing, "Sweep, chop, pull, cut, pluck, hold, chop, and thrust!"

Huang's mother looked at her with a smile and said, "You have come up with new ways to kill pigs."

"You are just guessing." Shen Hui'e looked at her with eyes as clear as water and said, "Aren't the movements the same?"

"Okay! If you want to learn, just learn! Fighting is better than losing." Huang's mother looked at her with her black eyes and said, "If you have a strong fist in the village, no one will dare to bully you."

"That's right. A strong fist is the real truth." Shen Hui'e said, waving her fist.

"Boys also like to show off, isn't it? Just let them play." Huang's mother said straightforwardly, "I really wouldn't spend money on them before when I didn't have money, but now that we have money, isn't it just a show?" The wealthy mother said, "The children are obedient and have been helping the family, so this is a reward for them."

"Yes! Very well behaved!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at her with curved eyebrows.

"I see that even if you don't practice boxing and kicking, this will improve your reaction." Huang's mother smiled as she looked at the sandbags hanging on the rack.

"Yeah!" Shen Hui'e smiled and nodded. Whatever Huang's mother said was the truth? If you practice it unremittingly, you will be surprised.

"Thank you for the trouble, children." Huang's mother looked at her gently and said.

"They call me Second Auntie!" Shen Hui'e looked at her with her dark and bright eyes and said, "I like good children." She changed the subject and said, "How is the tofu shop business?"

When talking about business, Huang's mother smiled with wrinkles on her face and said, "It's good! Fewer people eat meat, so more tofu is bought. We also make jelly and vermicelli at home. Everything we buy is good." She looked at her with concern and asked, "Does this business have an impact on you? Do you have enough money? I'll send you some tomorrow."

"Enough! I've made quite a bit of money in the past few months." Shen Hui'e politely declined, "This is a good opportunity to teach the kids how to read and write." She smiled and added, "If things get really busy, I can still sell vegetarian dumplings stuffed with radish and steamed buns." She raised her eyebrows and joked, "I've been busy for half a year, so I'll take a break!"

"Okay! You've been working from dawn to dusk, and you don't have any help. Just take a break. If you need anything, just let me know." Huang's mother said quickly, and then asked with concern, "Have you prepared everything for the winter? It's getting cold as soon as you say it will."

"I'm ready." Shen Hui'e smiled and said, "I plan to dry some radishes and pickle some salted radishes. It's really hard to live without vegetables in winter."

"It's a nice day, sunny and perfect for drying radishes." Huang's mother said with a smile, "Okay, you go ahead! I'm leaving now."

"I'll see you off." Shen Hui'e looked at Da Chong and the others who were doing horse stance and writing big characters and said, "Da Chong, your grandmother is leaving."

"Don't worry about me, just continue writing your words." Huang's mother stopped them from putting down their brushes and said.

"Grandma, take care." Da Chong and the others said obediently.

"Oh!" Huang's mother responded happily.

Shen Hui'e sent Huang's mother out of the house and watched her leave. Then she turned back home, cut the radish into strips, and placed them on the curtain to dry.

After the radish is dried, pickle it, put it in a clay jar and seal it.

The autumn wind was blowing, and the yellow leaves on the trees were swirling and falling to the ground.

"Second Aunt, come quickly, come quickly, look how red these persimmons are!" Huang Yuanji walked into the house carrying firewood and said with a red persimmon in his hand.

"Wow..." Da Chong said in amazement as he looked at the red persimmon in his hand with his dark eyes.

Cheng Donglai stepped forward, took the shoulder pole from his hand, and carried the firewood into the woodshed.

"This is delicious. Just peel off the skin and slurp it. It's sweeter than honey." Huang Yuanji said with a smile, "It's soft and not astringent at all."

"Too few, not enough to share." said the big tiger, looking at the five red tomatoes in front of him.

"I came here carrying firewood, but I can't take it." Huang Yuanji said to them regretfully.

"Are there any more on the tree? Let's go pick some persimmons." The big insect looked at him excitedly and said.

"That's quite a lot!" Huang Yuanji said with bright eyes, looking at Second Aunt and asked, "Is that ok?"

"Besides, haven't other children picked them?" Shen Hui'e looked at him in surprise and said, "Delicious food won't stay on the tree!"

"We have agreed to pick them when they turn red." Huang Yuanji said to her with a smile.

"Then take the basket! Be careful!" Shen Hui'e looked at them impatiently and had to say, "The sooner you go, the sooner you will come back."

"Hey!" Huang Yuanji and the others nodded in response, picked up the basket and ran away.

"Wait for us." Li Nu and the others chased after them.

When they came back, Huang Yuanji was missing. Shen Hui'e looked at her son in surprise and asked, "Where is your brother Yuanji?"

"Hehe...hahaha..." The big tiger laughed so hard that he bent over.

"What happened? Why are you laughing like this?" Shen Hui'e looked at them in confusion and asked.

"Nothing?" Li Nu looked at her with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Yuanji just climbed up a tree and his pants were torn."

"What's the big deal? It's normal to get your pants torn when climbing a tree, and it's also normal to get beaten." Shen Hui'e smiled secretly.

"It's worn out a bit, the butt is exposed." Da Chong said embarrassedly.

"Then how did you get home?" Shen Hui'e asked curiously.

"Brother Yuanji asked us to go home first, and he will go home when there is no one around." Da Chong smiled foolishly.

"Silly boy." Shen Hui'e looked at them unhappily and said, "Take off one of your shirts and tie it around your waist, it will just cover your butt."

"Ah..." The big insect scratched his head and said innocently, "I was so panicked at that time that I forgot about it."

"Jiuguan said he was going to get clothes for Brother Yuanji." Li Nu said with a smile, "Don't worry too much." He held up the basket and said, "Mother, try it quickly, it's sweet!"

Shen Hui'e clapped her hands, picked up a soft persimmon, peeled it, put it to her mouth and sucked it in, looking at them with curved eyebrows and said, "Sweet!"

"This thing won't last long. We have to eat it quickly." Huang Que'er looked at them with pure eyes and said.

"We have more people, and one point will be gone." Li Nu said with a smile.

"I'll make you something delicious later." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with a smile on her face.

"What delicious food?" Da Chong's eyes lit up instantly when he heard it, "What can you make with roasted persimmons?"

"Corn flour steamed bread with roasted persimmons added in, it's very sweet!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with a smile in her eyes.
