Chapter 022: Wanggong Bridge Catches Fish
"Auntie, all blessings." Gong Liu saluted Xiao's mother-in-law who came to him.
"Gong Liu's family, it's all family, you don't have to be polite." Xiao Shi took Gong Liu's hand, "What's wrong with your hands, it's so cold?" β
"Auntie, I'm tired and tired." Gong Liu smiled bitterly and replied, "The two children and the mother-in-law need to be taken care of, and there is really no way." β
"I've told you, if there is any difficulty, just tell the old man of my family, why bother yourself and your children?" Xiao complained.
"Auntie, our family owes the Zhu family too much, how embarrassed. You see that you can't learn well, and you have to trouble you again. Gong Liu was uneasy.
"It's okay, it's okay. Since ancient times, marriage has been righteousness, in order to take care of it in difficult times, why should it be so clear. Shaw's mother-in-law smiled.
"It's not good to always cause trouble to you......" Unconsciously Gong Liu had already arrived in the hall, "Shibo is good." β
"Okay, Gong Liu, take a seat, rare guests." The old man set aside the dishes and chopsticks that Yinyue had brought from the kitchen.
As soon as Yinyue saw her sister-in-law's sallow face, deep-set eyes, high cheekbones, and plain clothes, she immediately understood that the heavy pressure of life over the years, especially in the past six months, had tortured her to the point that she was not human, and she couldn't help but have a sour nose, and tears fell: "Sister-in-law, you have suffered." β
"Sister Lanping, what are you crying about, aren't I okay?" Gong Liu sat down next to Lan Ping.
"Yes, yes, yes, don't cry, don't cry, I should be happy." Lan Ping wiped away her tears.
"Mother, do you want to slaughter this rabbit now?" Gong Changyu said while nibbling on chicken legs.
"Old learner, isn't so much food enough for you to eat?" Gong Liu frowned.
"Enough, enough." Gong Changyu nodded again and again, "It's good to be at my uncle's house, there is food and drink, I don't want to go back, mother." β
"Lanping, you see that this child is not saved, and if you have milk, you are a mother." Gong Liu took a slice of potato chips and put it in a bowl.
"Sister-in-law, when the child grows up, you can't trap him." Lan Ping took a soup spoon and scooped a big spoonful of chicken for Gong Liu's, "You also eat a little more, you are skinny and skinny." β
"Sister, what do the children want to eat......" Gong Liu glanced at Rong Sen, Yuhong, and Lao Xue.
"Hey, the children have to eat, you have to eat even more, what's polite." Lan Ping picked up the spoon again.
"Sister, I'll do it myself." Gong Liu hid the bowl under the table.
"Okay. Eat whatever you want, and don't treat yourself badly. Lan Ping had no choice but to give up, "When you're full, I'll take you to the City God Temple opposite." β
As soon as he heard that he was going to the City God Temple, Gong Changyu gobbled up the chicken legs, and stripped the rice in the bowl without clipping: "Auntie, I'm going too!" β
"Old Xue, what are you doing at the City God Temple?" Lan Ping glared at him.
"Make a wish." Gong Changyu replied with his head drooping.
"Little ghost, the City God Temple is on the mountain, it's hard to climb, you eat another bowl, and my aunt will take you there." Lan Ping said with a smile.
"I've eaten three bowls, and I've eaten enough to hold on." Gong Changyu touched his round belly.
"Then you will nibble on this chicken leg, obedient." Yinyue took the opportunity to clip a chicken leg and sent it to Gong Changyu's eyes.
"Thank you Auntie for your kindness, I really can't eat it." Gong Changyu hurriedly shook his head, "Give it back to Brother Rongsen......
"He ate one, this is just a special reward for you, you did a lot to protect grandma and your mother last night." Silver Moon said kindly.
"Since my aunt said so, then I can eat it." Gong Changyu no longer shirked and took over the chicken legs......
After everyone finished eating, they went their own way. Xiao's mother-in-law, Lan Ping, Gong Liu, and Gong Changyu crossed the ridge with incense candles and paper money, and arrived at the "Wanggong Bridge". Chang Yu stood on the bridge pier, looked at the crystal clear water in the river and said, "Auntie, this water source comes from Wenjing, right?" β
"Yes. I got the well from your grandfather, and it's the farming season, so the river is relatively large. Lan Ping nodded in response.
"Auntie, I want to sell the mountain forest in Tiekeng, and ...... to learn from a teacher" Gong Changyu put down his arm and carried a basket on his shoulder, took out a piece of paper money, and scattered it in the river.
"Old learner, your grandfather has already given me that mountain forest, and you have no right to dispose of it." Gong Liu patted Gong Changyu on the shoulder.
"Grandpa has passed away for several years, can't you regret it?" Gong Changyu didn't understand his mother's words.
"Son, the mountain forest was given to my aunt, it is the Zhu family, and I can't get it back. Thanks to their support over the years, we have been able to get through the most difficult period. Gong Liu looked at the rickety wooden bridge.
"Mother, but if I want to learn martial arts, I have to have silver......" Gong Changyu rubbed his hands, "It's impossible to go to see Master empty-handed, right?" βγ
"Silly boy, if you want to learn martial arts, your uncle will sponsor you, don't worry." Shaw's mother-in-law said.
"Yes, I won't sell the Wenjing, I stay at my aunt's house every day, and I won't leave if I don't give me money." Gong Changyu said with a smile.
"Old learner, your uncle was originally a martial artist, and your uncle and grandfather are one of the top martial arts masters in Baocheng Mansion, which is enough for you to study for ten or eight years. Where else do you want to apprentice? Gong Liu asked.
"I want to go to Wudang Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain to apprentice." Gong Changyu pointed to the mountains in the distance.
"No, that's too far, I haven't seen each other for a few years, and I can't bear you for my mother." Gong Liu said.
"Okay. Since my mother didn't agree, I would learn art at my uncle's house, without paying tuition, and there would be big fish and meat, killing two birds with one stone. Gong Changyu clapped his hands and applauded, but when he was happy, he stepped on the air and fell into the deep pool in the river, and he was about to get close to the water.
"Old learner-" Lan Ping jumped off the bridge pier, grabbed Gong Changyu's collar, lifted it gently, and then turned over with a harrier, returned to the bridge deck, and flicked Gong Changyu's forehead, "If the sun wasn't big today, you would fall into the pool and catch a cold." So careless. β
Gong Changyu stood on the bridge, frightened, hugging Lan Ping's waist: "Auntie, do you also know martial arts?" β
"The Zhu family has been a martial artist and wizard for generations, and I am the second young grandmother of the Zhu family, if I don't know how to do kung fu, wouldn't it be a joke to say it?" Lan Ping smiled.
"Auntie, then you teach me, I want to learn the move you just made now." Gong Chang met his aunt and was very skilled, and he was interested for a while.
"If you can't be in a hurry to learn martial arts, you have to start from the most basic practice, you can't stand still now, and it's useless for your aunt to teach you high-level tricks." Lan Ping took the red silk scarf and fanned the wind.
"I'll rush to punch with horse steps-" Gong Changyu stood up with a horse step, stepped on a foot and punched, and then a horse step horizontally, smashed punches and kicks, jumped twice on the bridge, and the bridge shook again.
"Old learner, this bridge is in disrepair, be careful." Xiao's mother-in-law, who crossed the bridge, shouted in fright.
"Grandma, I see." Gong Changyu stopped, this time he could be regarded as standing firm, and suddenly saw a big grass carp in the waterhole surface, two feet long, swimming leisurely, as if to say to him angrily: "Little friend, come and catch me-"
"What a big fish!" Gong Changyu was so excited, he took off his clothes and shoes, jumped off the bridge deck five or six high, and landed directly on the back of the grass carp with a "poof", splashing in the pool. Because of the effect of gravity, Gong Changyu and the fish sank to the bottom of the water together, and the water kept blistering, and after a while, Gong Changyu had not yet surfaced.
Lan Ping originally wanted to stop the little guy from catching fish, but Gong Changyu moved so fast that when he didn't react, everyone went to the waterhole. Gong Liu was so anxious that he cried: "I don't know how to be water-based, this time it's over......"
"Sister-in-law, I think he is very watery, so he doesn't need to cry." Lan Ping said with a smile.
"Sister, how do you know he can swim?" When Gong Liu heard this, he immediately stopped crying.
"There is a big reservoir in the ice pond behind Zhujiafang, and some friends of Lao Xue and Tangwei Chong catch mud and catch it there, and they will go to the reservoir to soak for half an hour. This waterhole is nothing to him. Lan Ping said slowly.
"Sister, is this true?" Gong Liu asked.
"When did I lie to you, sister-in-law?"
"Then Lao Xue stumbled and fell under the bridge just now, why did you save him?"
"It's a different situation, of course you can be saved."
"Auntie, motherβyou see, this fish was caught by me, and it can't escape!" Gong Changyu surfaced, hugged the fish and shouted.
"Son, you scared me to death, I thought you were drowning ......" Gong Liu burst into tears and laughed.
"Mother, your son is not so useless. How deep is this pool, compared with the Bingtang Chong Reservoir, it is simply a heaven and an underground! Gong Changyu swam to the bank of the river with the big fish in his arms.
"It's okay, it's okay...... it's okay" Gong Liu crossed the bridge with his clothes and shoes around his arms and waited for his son to come up on the shore.
"You are not allowed to peek at me dressing, turn me around......" Gong Changyu was naked, put the fish in another basket, and turned his back to several adults.
"Okay, okay, we don't just look at it." Xiao's mother-in-law laughed a few times and closed her eyes in unison.
"Turn around, hurry!" Gong Changyu shouted. So, a few adults had to turn around, but they still couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at, a turtle that you haven't met." Gong Changyu said while getting dressed. The adults immediately stopped laughing, but they were still happy in their hearts!
Soon Gong Changyu put on his clothes and shoes, and when he saw that the adults were still facing away from him, he said like an adult: "Ladies and gentlemen, Gong Changyu is finished changing his clothes, you can open your eyes and see!" β
"Oh, it's ready so soon?" Lan Ping looked at it, Gong Changyu's shoes were worn wrong, probably because he was in a hurry.
"Hmm." Gong Changyu responded.
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, kid." Lan Ping stepped on Gong Changyu's toes and said.
