Each movement is done once on the left and right symmetrically, and is conditioned with the breath.
After a set of exercises, Kapok felt refreshed and sweaty, so he took off his clothes and took a beautiful bath, and when everything was done, Kapok was ready to go out, "Little fox, I'm out" Kapok said to the little fox who was sleeping.
"Hmmm! Go, go! The little fox said in a daze, and then fell asleep again.
Kapok flashed out of the space, and as soon as she went out, she saw Mrs. Zheng coming, and Wang Cuihua went out to greet her with a smile on her face.
"Ouch! I won't bother you if I come so early! Mrs. Zheng also replied with warm greetings.
"No, no, what! Come in and sit" Mrs. Zheng and Wang Cuihua entered the main house.
"Kapok, go and pour you a glass of water for Granny Zheng" Wang Cuihua habitually instructed, Kapok ignored it, Wang Cuihua saw that she didn't come for a long time, and Mrs. Zheng was obviously angry.
"I said you dead girl, why didn't you come for so long when you poured water?"
"I have nothing to do with your Mu family anymore, why should I work for you?" Kapok's indifferent attitude tickled Wang Cuihua's teeth, and he wanted to teach Kapok a lesson, but he couldn't help it when he thought of Mu Xin's family affairs, so he had to scold and go to the kitchen to pour a glass of water.
"I'm sorry! That stinky girl is used to it" Wang Cuihua pushed the matter on Kapok, and Mrs. Zheng's expression was better, obviously believing Wang Cuihua's words.
However, Kapok didn't care about Wang Cuihua's words, they had nothing to do with each other, and they couldn't threaten her no matter what they said, but Mrs. Zheng didn't think so, she remembered the hatred in her heart, but said with a smile on her face, "It's okay, it's okay"
"I came today because the Wang family entrusted me to come, and I came here to set a date. They are busy with affairs, so they called me here," Mrs. Zheng said today's intention.
Wang Cuihua wanted to be angry, how could there be such a big event as a child setting a date and not come forward, which obviously looked down on our Mu family, but she couldn't attack at the moment, after all, the other party was a cash cow, she couldn't be so offended, not to mention that when her daughter married in, she also had face in the village, and she could also learn the genealogy of a big family.
"You said that I, a countryman, don't know what are the good days, since the Wang family invited you to come, you can just watch it"
"Then it's set for the eighth day of August! I think it's a good day" Mrs. Zheng thought about it and felt that this day was okay, so that she could get the matchmaker's money quickly, now in June, it's too early, it will make others feel too warehousing, too late, not to mention it, she also wants to get the matchmaker money early, so she booked a middle day.
"That's okay, I think it's okay, listen to you" Wang Cuihua immediately agreed, she wished she had to be earlier.
"Then I'll go first, I still have something to do" Mrs. Zheng got up and was about to leave, she still had a lot of media to say.
"Okay, go slowly" Wang Cuihua didn't stay, and scolded when she sent it out, "What a thing, I want you to set the day, it's really unlucky"
Mu Xin in the house just got up, and when he heard Wang Cuihua scolding, he asked, "Mother, what's wrong?" So angry."
"It's okay, Xin'er, the marriage is scheduled for the eighth day of August, don't go out these days, be a female celebrity at home"
"Okay, mother"
Kapok came out of Mu's house and came to Zhang Yan's house, wanting to go to the town market with her, after all, it was not good to go to the town alone and be known by the villagers.
"Sister Zhang Yan, are you at home?" Kapok stood outside the door and shouted inside.
"It turned out to be a girl from the Mu family! Come in, the little sister is out, and I'll be back in a while," Zhang Mingmu greeted.
"That, that, sit" Zhang Ming was a little embarrassed and brought a bench.
"Hmmm! Okay" Kapok sat and waited for a while, chatting with Zhang Ming for a while, and it took another ten minutes for Zhang Yan to come back.
"Kapok, you're here" Zhang Yan smiled and put down the basket on her back, which was a basket of pigweed.
"Brother, Kapok is here, you don't know how to call me" Zhang Yanjiao looked at Zhang Ming with disgust and said.
"That, that, I, I, I forgot, I'm sorry, sister, it's all my fault" Zhang Ming blushed in embarrassment.
Zhang Ming has an honest and honest temperament, but he is a little wooden, Zhang Yan has a straightforward temperament, so Zhang Ming has listened to his sister since he was a child, and Zhang Yan is in charge of everything in the Zhang family, and he is a full housekeeper, after all, two big men can't take care of this.
"Brother, you're so stupid" Zhang Yan was speechless.
Kapok stood next to her and was very envious, this is the family affection between relatives is very delicate, but she has lacked this since she was a child.
"By the way, what are you looking for me about Kapok?" Zhang Yan returned to the topic and asked.
"It's nothing, I just want you to take me around town" Kapok didn't say what he was going to town for.
"Oh, okay, anyway, I'm fine now," Zhang Yan readily agreed, and then went to the backyard to wash his face and clean up after pulling Kapok and preparing to go out, but thinking that it was not safe for the two girls to go out, he pulled Zhang Ming together.
"Dad, my brother and I are out," Zhang Yan said to the back room, so as not to worry Zhang Dali.
The journey to the town was almost an hour, and by the time I arrived at the town's market, there were already quite a few people.
The bazaar is very lively, selling all kinds of things, there are a lot of vendors in the stalls, Kapok pulls the Zhang family brothers and sisters around, but does not buy anything, Zhang Yan thought that Kapok is thinking that the things in the town are strange, so she wants to come and see, after all, Kapok rarely goes to the market, Kapok has not found anything after a few laps, and suddenly felt embarrassed, she pulled the Zhang family brothers and sisters to go shopping for so long.
"That, Sister Zhang Yan, aren't you in a hurry to go back!" Kapok asked embarrassedly, Zhang Yan knew that Kapok meant that he was afraid of delaying their work.
"It's okay Kapok, it's rare for you to come and shop more once," Zhang Yan finished speaking, and turned his head to look at his brother, "Yes!" Brother"
Zhang Ming looked at his sister and asked himself, and hurriedly replied, "Yes!" The girl of the Mu family "touched her head honestly while saying, which made Kapok and Zhang Yan laugh.
"That's okay, I'll go shopping again" So he took the Zhang brothers and sisters around a few more times.
"Sister Zhang Yan, why don't you see anyone selling fruit?" Kapok looked at Zhang Yan suspiciously, she found that she hadn't seen a fruit seller after shopping for so long.
"We can afford to eat fruit! Fruits are very rare, only the rich of large families eat them, and ordinary people can't afford them," Zhang Yan explained, but found that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, but Kapok knew Zhang Yan's personality, Zhang Yan spoke very straight, and never beat around the bush.
"That kapok, I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong, if you want to eat, I asked my brother to go to the mountain behind the village to pick some wild fruits for you, the fruit is sweet" Zhang Yan was anxious, for fear that Kapok would think more.
"It's okay, Sister Zhang Yan, I know you didn't mean that, I just asked, I don't have to pick it"
"That's good" Zhang Yan put her mind at ease, thinking that Kapok wanted to eat fruits, so she asked her brother to pick some wild fruits after she went back.
It was not too early, Kapok decided to go back, she already had a general understanding of the market, and the Zhang brothers and sisters had a lot of farm work to do, so they couldn't delay their time too much.
When they came back from the town, the three of them talked and laughed, and they didn't feel tired.
After saying goodbye to the Zhang brothers and sisters at the entrance of the village, Kapok walked in the direction of his house, and as soon as he entered, Wang Cuihua sneered at Kapok, "Yo, I went out for a morning in the wilderness!" ”
Kapok didn't pay attention to it, just thought it was a clown who jumped off the beam, and was about to enter the house, Wang Cuihua said again, "It's really a thing that has a mother and no mother, how can I say that it is also your stepmother, so rude, wild girl" After speaking, she still had a provocative look.
Originally, Kapok didn't want to see her in general, but when it came to her mother, she couldn't bear it, so she turned around and slapped her, which made Wang Cuihua dizzy, due to the recent Kapok martial arts practice, her body was unusually light, Wang Cuihua didn't see how Kapok made a big slap at all, so she reached out to grab Kapok's face, but she was held by Kapok
"If you scold me and my mother again, I don't mind giving you a few more slaps"
"You, you let go" Wang Cuihua was a little scared, she didn't expect Kapok to be so strong, she had no room to fight back, Kapok snorted coldly and shook off her hand and entered the house, leaving Wang Cuihua alone to react and scold, she only has this kind of ability to spill.
