Chapter 6 Exercise
Looking at Xu Fu, who was honestly following behind, Xu Kang suddenly felt a little sympathetic to his cheap big brother.
Obviously, he is an imposter who crossed over, but no matter how you look at it now, he feels that he is his own, and Xu Fu picked it up.
Fortunately, Xu Fu didn't seem to care about this, and found that Xu Kang was looking at himself, and responded with a grateful look - thank you for making a move just now, otherwise I would definitely be beaten again!
Xu Kang understood in seconds, couldn't help grinning, and then squeezed his eyes at him - a small thing, you're welcome!
Seeing his expression, Xu Fu immediately grinned and smiled.
The brothers' small actions did not hide from Xu, but she didn't say anything, took the two of them into her room, and then asked Xu Fu to pull out the big wooden box under her bed.
The big wooden box was very heavy, and when Xu Fu pulled it out from under the bed, there was a sudden grinding sound.
Seeing this scene, Xu Kang hurriedly went up to help, but he didn't move after a pull, so he could only give up stupidly.
And when Xu Fu struggled to pull out the wooden box and opened it under Xu's instructions, Xu Kang finally understood why he couldn't pull it.
It turned out that this box contained most of the copper coins!
These copper coins are the common five-baht coins today, and the weight of each piece is about 4 grams, and the number of these half boxes of copper coins is obviously not less than 20,000 pieces, that is, nearly 200 catties!
With such a heavy weight, even Xu Fu, a strong guy, had to drag it up, and with Xu Kang's body now recovering from a serious illness, he naturally couldn't pull it.
Although this is normal, Xu Kang is still inevitably a little frustrated.
"Now this body is too weak, it seems that I have to find a way to exercise, even if I am a celebrity, I can't do it without a good body, I don't want to hang up at a young age like Guo Jia."
Of course he didn't know what he thought, and when he saw him frowning, he thought it was because he had little money, so he immediately sighed helplessly.
"Alas...... Kang'er, the harvest has been sluggish over the years, and the yellow turban thieves have made trouble, and now there are so many belongings for our Xu family, and my mother plans to let Cui'er buy two carts, and when the time comes, I will weave some cloth with her, or I can supplement some household supplies. ”
The car is a loom, and Xu Kang still knows this, so after hearing Xu's words, he laughed again.
He smiled and waved his hand slightly.
"No, mother, you can cultivate with peace of mind, Cui'er is serving you, just let her do her part, and leave the things to make money to her son."
Hearing his words, Xu Fu also nodded seriously, "That's right!" Mother, you can rest at home, as long as you have a bite to eat from your son, you will never be hungry! ”
As soon as Xu Fu's words came out, Xu Kang knew that he wanted bad dishes.
In this way, if it is placed in an ordinary farmer's house, it is naturally no problem, but the Xu family is a poor family, and since it has a "door" character, it is naturally different from ordinary people.
To put it bluntly, it has the arrogance of a small family.
Because of this arrogance, Xu Fu's words just now felt very harsh when she heard Xu's ears, which made her can't help but be angry.
"Hmph, you don't want to make progress, if you only have one bite to eat, then you eat it, I'd rather starve to death for my mother, so as not to be angry with you, a wicked animal, you get out of here!"
Xu Fu: "╭(°A°')╮"
What's wrong with me?
Seeing that Xu was angry, but Xu Fu looked blindfolded, Xu Kang felt that if he didn't open his mouth again, he would have to kneel on the ground and be beaten in less than two minutes.
So I could only persuade Xu Shi again.
"Mother, brother, he is also a filial piety, but his clumsy mouth makes you angry, don't go to your heart, now our family's predicament is only temporary, with me and my brother here, our Xu family will definitely be the first family in Yingchuan in the future!"
It can be said that this was said to Xu Shi's heart, and the anger on her face was immediately alleviated a lot, and when she turned her head to look at Xu Kang, her face was full of a smile of relief.
"After my son recovers, he has become more intelligent, and he will definitely be able to be loyal to the Han family in the future, and the lintel will be glorious, and at that time, my mother and I will also have the face to meet the ancestors of the Xu family, as for your brother, ......"
Speaking of this, she turned her head to look at Xu Fu with a circled face, and the expression on her face instantly turned into disgust and powerlessness.
"As long as this evil beast doesn't cause trouble, don't insult the ancestors of my Xu family, I'll be thankful, alas...... Do not say! ”
Xu Kang: "......"
Looking at Xu's appearance of "if you say more, you will get angry", Xu Kang didn't know where to persuade him, so he could only give Xu Fu a vague look and signal him to withdraw quickly.
Xu Fu understood what he meant, and hurriedly bowed to Xu.
"Mother, you rest first, I'll go buy a box for the second brother, and I'll listen to your teachings when I come back!" After saying that, he took two large strings of copper coins from the box and put them on his shoulder, and then quickly retreated from Xu's house, and quickly disappeared outside the house.
Seeing this scene, Xu Kang couldn't help but grin, and smiled at Xu.
"Haha, mother, you see, although my brother often makes you angry, he respects you in his heart, so don't be too him."
"Alas!" After hearing Xu Kang's words, Xu Shi sighed and shook his head: "Kang'er, don't intercede for your eldest brother!" It's not that his mother is harsh, but he is reckless by nature, and he is worried that he will cause a big disaster for his mother, and he can't be strict if he is not harsh! ”
With that, she closed the open cash box again, and then waved her hand at Xu Kang.
"Okay, let's not talk about your eldest brother, you shouldn't work hard at the beginning of your serious illness, I have already asked Xiaocui to buy chicken, and I will make you a pot of soup to replenish your body later, okay, you go back and rest!"
Hearing Xu's words, Xu Kang's heart warmed again, and he hurriedly nodded: "Well, I know, then mother, you should also pay attention to rest, I will go back first!" ”
"Well, go ahead!"
After getting Xu's permission again, Xu Kang saluted her before turning around and walking out to his room.
But when he returned to his room, he didn't immediately lie down to rest, but prepared to exercise according to his habits.
"Set a small goal, start with 20 tiger push-ups and 50 squats, and then raise your legs in place for 5 minutes!"
Once he had decided, he began to exercise.
But what he didn't expect was that this sports goal, which was once just a piece of cake for him, has now become extremely difficult.
After lying on the ground, he found that he couldn't complete the tiger push-ups in the standard position at all, so he could only barely complete them in a kneeling position.
The squat is also not easy to complete, although the posture can be maintained very standard, but the number of 50 is divided into two parts.
And the high leg lift is the worst, even if he moves at the frequency of lifting his leg every second, he only lasts for two minutes before sweating like rain, and the sound of breathing is like pulling a bellows, snoring and panting, and his head is even more dizzy for a while, obviously he has reached the limit.
Feeling the condition of his body, Xu Kang's face was full of wry smiles.
"Ma Dan, this body is really bad, it seems that if I want to return to my previous level, I can't do it for a year and a half, so I can only take my time, as for now, let's go get something to eat first!"
He hadn't slept all night last night in order to find a way out, and now that he had exercised again, his stomach had begun to make a "gurgling" belly sound, as if to urge him to eat quickly.
Xu Kang is not a person who treats himself badly, so he immediately walked out of the door and prepared to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.
When he walked to the kitchen, the maid Cui'er was boiling water to kill chickens, and when she saw him coming, she quickly put down her hand and got up and saluted him.
"The second son is hungry? It's all to blame for the slave and maid who were delayed on the road, or you can eat a scone mat first, and the slave and maid will immediately kill the chicken and make soup for you. ”
As she spoke, she picked up the basket on one side and handed it to Xu Kang, uncovering the burlap cloth covered on it, revealing more than a dozen baked yellowed dough cakes inside.
Although the appearance of this scone cake is not very good, Xu Kang, who is so hungry that he is growling, does not care so much, and immediately picks up the scone in the basket and eats it.
Maybe it was because he was too hungry, Xu Kang almost ate two or three bites, and after a while, he ate all the dozen bowls of big baked cakes, and then gave a loud hiccup in the dull gaze of the maid Xiaocui.
"Hiccup...... Barely seven points full, Cui'er, you hurry up and cook the chicken soup, remember to call me when it's cooked, by the way, don't buy this scone next time, it's dry and hard and it doesn't taste good, it's really unpalatable. ”
He didn't say that it was okay, but when he said this, Cui'er, who was originally sluggish, reacted suddenly, and then cried with a "wow".
"Wow...... This is what Mrs. asked the slave to buy and eat for two days, and now that the second son has eaten all of them, the slave and maid have no way to explain to Mrs., woo woo woo woo woo ......"
"Huh?"
Looking at Xiao Cui, who was crying with tears in her eyes, Xu Kang was stunned again.
"It's actually two days of eating? I actually ate two days' rations for my family in one go? ”
