Zhao Yan carried his younger brother Zhao Liang, who was five years younger than him, back to the house, washed and changed his younger brother's clothes, then cleaned himself up, and began to endure the pain and cook on the fire.

His parents worked in the dark on an empty stomach, and his responsibility was to take his younger brother and cook meals by the way and wait for his parents to come back.

Such days have been going on for more than a year.

As for the pain, he was used to it.

"Guoguo, I'm hungry!"

Not only Zhao Yan is used to it, but even Zhao Liang is used to it, Zhao Liang, who was still crying just now, seemed to forget the pain just now, and looked up at his brother with a blank eye.

"I'll give it to you right away."

Although Zhao Yan is only eight years old, he is very sensible and has a maturity and stability that ordinary children do not have.

Of course, in the eyes of others, Zhao Yan looks too honest, so honest that he feels a little stupid.

Because Zhao Yan likes to be in a daze by himself a lot of the time, this is not normal in the eyes of others.

Zhao Yan looked at the faint bruises on his younger brother's face, and felt a little uncomfortable.

He scooped a bowl of rice from the retort, sandwiched a few pieces of steamed fatty meat and a little wild vegetables in the bowl, and served it to his younger brother.

The younger brother, who was less than three years old, was already very hungry, and at a young age, he couldn't use chopsticks, so he could only use his hands to pick up wildly, and devoured it like a starving ghost reincarnated.

It was covered in rice and oil.

Zhao Yan, who was watching from the sidelines, secretly swallowed his saliva, but he had to wait for his parents to come back and eat together.

I didn't think about it anymore, but I was thinking about the martial arts I overheard from the old gentleman.

He is very interested in martial arts, and it can be said that he is fascinated, so whenever he has the opportunity, he will go outside the old man's private school, wanting to peek at the old man teaching students, but for the teaching of martial arts, the old man is very cautious and can't see it at all.

In the past two years, he has listened to a lot of cultural classes, including some martial arts theories.

For example, the old gentleman has always said, "The power rises from the ground, does not move like a mountain, and moves like a sharp arrow,......。 The body is like a grinding plate, like a forging furnace, like heaven and earth,......。 The vitality of the whole body is like the fire of forging, like the vitality of heaven and earth,......。 Everything is very unnatural, and it is very natural,......。 ”

Whenever he was free, he would ponder what the old gentleman said about martial arts, but he had never seen the old gentleman practice, so he relied on himself to guess...... I can't figure out anything about the "cheats" I heard.

But even so, he was happy to do it.

As long as I have time, I will figure it out by myself, and then make a few blind strokes...... Of course, it didn't work.

In addition, he also likes the stories that the old gentleman occasionally tells, which are much better than those told by his parents, especially those stories about heroes, Zhao Yan can't wait to be those heroes, fighting the sword world, fighting chivalry, and playing the rivers and lakes.

......

Every day around noon, Zhao Qingshan and his wife will come back for lunch.

Zhao Liang, who was playing with mud at the door, saw the faint figure in the depths of the bamboo forest below from a distance, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the whole person immediately stood up with a 'hoof', and staggered a little when he didn't stand firm for a while, and quickly ran home with worrying footwork.

"Guoguo! Fruit! ”

He shouted loudly as he ran.

"Mom and Dad are back! Mom and Dad are back! Time to eat! Time to eat! ”

"Hurry up and bring the food out!"

After saying these words, Zhao Liang, who was covered in mud and had a big cat face, was already sitting at the dinner table waiting for Zhao Yan to put the food on the table.

Hearing Zhao Liang's words, Zhao Yan, who had been guessing the meaning of the old man's words, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he stood up suddenly, originally wanting to bring out the food, but when he saw Zhao Liang, who was like a big cat, he shook his head helplessly, and directly dragged the very reluctant Zhao Liang to the door to wash it up, and then began to bring the food out of the kitchen.

At this time, Zhao Qingshan and his wife had already washed their hands and sat down.

A family of four, each sitting on one side.

From the time she saw Zhao Yan and Zhao Liang, Li Xiaomei had been looking at the two brothers who seemed to be okay with worried eyes, but she didn't rush to ask under Zhao Qingshan's eyes.

"Who beat me up again?"

Zhao Qingshan asked casually while eating.

"Horse~~!"

Zhao Liang took the lead.

"People call Ma Tie, not Ma~~, don't mess with giving people nicknames! Don't call it that anymore! Zhao Qingshan glared at Zhao Liang and said.

Zhao Liang stuck out his tongue and glanced at his brother, he didn't betray his brother, but held the chopsticks to clip the fat, but he couldn't pick it up, he stood up in a hurry, and wanted to serve the bowl together.

However, he habitually looked at his father, and when he saw his father's stern eyes, Zhao Liang was stunned and took his hand back.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan sandwiched two pieces in his bowl.

At this time, there were not many pieces in the bowl, and at this time, the two adults had not eaten a piece, but they were eating the three wild vegetables, as if they did not like to eat fatty meat.

"Thank you Guoguo!"

Zhao Liang said happily.

"It's brother, don't always be Guoguo, Guoguo."

Li Xiaomei glared at Zhao Liang and said.

"Got it!"

Zhao Liang put the fat meat into his mouth, and said vaguely with oil in his mouth, everyone could hear how perfunctory it was.

Zhao Yan ate a few bites of food and looked at Zhao Qingshan.

"Dad! Why do they keep bullying us? ”

Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Qingshan seriously, he asked many times, but his father didn't say anything to him, as if he was deliberately avoiding this question.

Zhao Qingshan looked at his eldest son and looked at it seriously for a few seconds before he said.

"Because you're weak!" Zhao Qingshan said very casually.

"Do you want to be bullied if you are weak?"

Zhao Yan took a bite of food, as if he didn't care about this question.

"Or else?"

Zhao Qingshan also took a bite of food.

The father and son didn't seem to care much about this topic, and Li Xiaomei didn't seem to hear anything, as for Zhao Liang, he didn't have time to talk to them now, and he was eating like crazy.

"Don't bully the weak, they can't bully the strong."

"That makes sense!" Zhao Yan agreed with this point of view while eating, and said after a while.

"Is there no way?"

"Yes! It's okay to be stronger than all of them. ”

Zhao Qingshan was eating, and said as a matter of course.

“......”

Zhao Yan didn't say anything more, he seemed to be concentrating on eating, but he was actually speechless, he didn't want to say anything.

"Dad is the strongest!"

Zhao Liang suddenly said loudly.

“......”

The three looked at him, but they didn't speak.

Seeing that he looked at himself with strange eyes, Zhao Liang was not gloomy, but when he felt that the atmosphere was wrong, he no longer expressed his "high opinion", and lowered his head to eat.

Zhao Yan and Li Xiaomei looked at Zhao Qingshan, Zhao Qingshan didn't seem to know anything, and was "concentrating" on eating.

......
