Chapter 10: Unexpected Joy

"My son, why did you become called Hanako? Were you scared last night?" Seeing her husband bring her son back, Hu Shi hugged him in his arms, and the baby was too bad.

"Mother, I'll tell you, I'm ten years old, I've grown up, don't treat me like a child anymore. Besides, if you see a person whose clothes are torn, he will become a flower child! And Sister Xu'er is not scared, how can I be scared if I am a man!" Wang Ping struggled out of Hu's arms.

Hearing his son say this, Carpenter Wang really cried and laughed: "What a child! Do you know that Su'er is much older than you?"

"Dad, I'm not young! The second baby is the same year as me, you see he has a wife. Didn't you say that if you marry a wife, you are a manly husband?" Wang Ping said incredulously.

At this time, it was the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and wars were raging everywhere, and the people were struggling to make a living. Xiling Village is only at the foot of the blessed land of Dongtian, so it has to live peacefully. Although this is the case, it does not mean that this is a paradise, due to the influence of the general environment, some poor families are unable to raise their children, so they sell their daughters to the children of rich families or families with better family backgrounds as child brides.

In order to save the cost of the son's wife, the family with ordinary family background buys a girl to come home to be the son's wife when the son is young, so that the male family has one more member to help the labor, and the female family reduces the financial burden of eating, killing two birds with one stone. It was very popular in this society at that time.

This is exactly the case of the second baby that Wang Ping talked about.

Thinking of this, Carpenter Wang glanced at his wife with a smile and asked, "If I marry Su'er to you as a wife, would you be willing?"

"Marry Su'er as a wife?" Wang Ping asked his father with wide eyes.

Carpenter Wang smiled and nodded, waiting for him to answer.

Wang Ping then turned his gaze to his mother, and Hu smiled and pulled him over: "If you marry her, you can be with Su'er every day!

Seeing that his parents asked unanimous questions, although Wang Ping didn't know anything about men and women, he was shy and still knew, and his face was red to the base of his neck, but he still said: "I can be with my sister every day, of course I am willing." But do you have to marry her every day when you are with her?"

"You are still young, you are not husband and wife, you are together every day, naturally no one will say anything? Carpenter Wang looked at this ten-year-old son, and naturally understood in his heart that Wang Ping didn't know the difference between his wife and his sister at all.

"Heh, I know that you follow her like a tail every day, and you have long liked her, haven't you? You tell your mother to see what is going on!" a hint of urgency flashed on Hu's face.

"Mother, don't ask me, anyway, I agree. Haha...... "Wang Ping walked away happily.

"What should I do?" Hu Shi asked anxiously as he walked up to her husband's side.

"What should I do? How about I get this batch of furniture done and go to propose marriage to the Liu family after I get paid?" said Carpenter Wang.

"That's fine......" Hu Shi looked at the gray hair on her husband's head, she knew that the sooner this matter was, the better.

After Wang Ping left his parents, he couldn't wait to read the "Five Elements Treasure Book" left to him by the man in black.

After reading it, Wang Ping couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The knowledge covered in this book was something that the Master had never mentioned before. It brought him into a wonderful world, where all the contents explained in detail the structure of the human body and how to communicate with the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi for his own use.

It's a pity that he has only been studying for three years after all, and he can't understand a lot of things in it.

Fortunately, Wang Ping is not an impatient person. In order to understand this book, he secretly made up his mind that he must learn the knowledge taught by his master well in the future.

Of course, he also made up his mind that he would meditate every night according to the breathing method taught by the man in black.

Time flowed like water, and before I knew it, three months had passed.

One day three months later, Wang Ping suddenly felt as if there was a slight flow of air in his body. Wherever this trace of air flowed through, I felt a warmth all over my body, and it seemed that I had inexhaustible strength to do things, and this feeling was indescribable.

What makes Wang Ping even happier is that he spends an hour every night meditating with this breathing method, sleeping for an hour less than usual, but when he wakes up in the morning, he is full of energy.

This discovery made Wang Ping overjoyed, and he spent more time meditating every day.

During this time, Carpenter Wang came back once, and when he learned that his son missed him, he was naturally very happy. When leaving, I explained to the Hu family that the dowry of the eldest lady of the Liu family was very large, and it might take two years to complete.

Don't worry about their mother and son, although the working hours this time are longer, the salary is also a lot, which is three times the usual.

Carpenter Wang and Hu Shi combined: After this batch of dowries is completed, plus the previous accumulation, even if it costs a sum of money to marry Su'er, you can still buy some fields in the village, and you can live by collecting rent in the future.

Thinking of the happy days in the future, Carpenter Wang and his wife are naturally smiling at home.

She still herds sheep every day. Wang Ping still went to the school in the morning to study, and in the afternoon, he usually helped Hu do some farm work at home. Only when the weather is good, Wang Ping will sometimes go with Su'er to herd sheep and chop some firewood to go home. Xiaobai slowly began to grow up, and every day at dusk, he helped Su'er drive the sheep home together. When both of them are free, Wang Ping will also teach Su'er to read some books and recognize some words.

Happy life is like flowing water at your fingertips, which flows away inadvertently.

Two years later.

Wang Ping and Su'er came to a large hillside about four miles away from home to graze sheep. Su'er helped Wang Ping tie up the firewood that had been cut and dried before. Wang Ping was also telling Su'er interesting things in the school while inspecting the situation of teaching Su'er to read and write in the past.

In the Qingming season in March, Nanyue is full of flowers and leaves, beautiful and colorful rhododendrons. Crimson, pink, deep purple, rose, everywhere. Take a deep breath and the thick fragrance of grass and flowers will come to your face.

Sitting on the bundled firewood with Su'er, looking at the colorful world, Wang Ping suddenly remembered a poem taught by Master Tzu in the school:

Like a volcano reflecting a hill, it can be thin and glamorous in the complex.

On a beautiful jade hairpin, it is only suspected that it is burning.

Twelve-year-old Wang Ping naturally knows more about things between men and women than he did two years ago. Looking at Xu'er's clear and ethereal eyes and extraordinary posture, Wang Ping felt that he finally knew what it meant to be beautiful and beautiful.

As early as two months ago, my father discussed with Liu's father, and Wang Ping also knew about letting Wang Ping and Su'er marry on August 15. Thinking that as long as he married Su'er as his wife, so that he would never be separated from her, Wang Ping couldn't help but smile.

In June, Carpenter Wang was still in the city to make a dowry for Miss Liu and did not go home to help. The more than a dozen acres of paddy fields that the family bought earlier were all ripe, and looking at the golden and heavy rice, Hu and Wang Ping, who were over fifty years old, were so busy that they went out before dawn in the morning and returned home after dark in the evening. Naturally, there is no time to go to the school, and the farmer naturally still needs to eat.

Although the twelve-year-old Wang Ping is shorter than Wang Carpenter, he is still taller than Hu. Ever since he meditated according to the breathing method taught by the man in black, he felt that his whole body had no end of strength. Walking and doing things are easier than those of a man in the prime of life. Especially after taking the elixir every year, the feeling of lightness is even more obvious.

A load of more than 100 catties of dew valley, without bending his waist, his legs without trembling, his face without redness, and his breath without being rough walked for two or three miles in one breath, picking it from the field to his home, Wang Ping was like no one else.

After twenty days of busyness, the two dried all the rice and put it in the warehouse. Hu Shi and Wang Ping lay on the bamboo bed and thought about it, and there was about half a day before they could plant the late rice in autumn.

Looking at his son, who was as black as the bottom of a pot at this time, Hu Shi's heart ached so much that he couldn't do it: "Ping'er! ”

"It's okay! Mother, you're okay in your fifties, how can I not be so young!" Wang Ping shouted.

"That's right, Aunt Wang, I'm going to help you this afternoon?"

Su'er unexpectedly did not go to herd the sheep, and wanted to go to the field to help Wang Ping plant the seedlings. Both Hu and Wang Ping were surprised.

It turned out that when Wang Ping was busy harvesting seeds a few days ago, Su'er went out to herd sheep alone. A sheep rolled down the hill and fell into a ditch. When Su'er hurriedly went to pull the sheep up, Xiaobai found a 200 taels of government general silver ticket next to the ditch. (In 2014, it was about RMB 380,000.) )

Later, Xu'er handed over the silver ticket to her father, and Liu's father was overjoyed, and when he saw the two hundred taels, he made a decision on the same day, sold the sheep, and never raised them again, and never let his five sons and daughters do hard labor again.

"Ping'er! That's why I have nothing to do this afternoon. Su'er smiled happily.

Looking at his son, who was so happy that his face was smiling, Hu suddenly became sad......
