Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua said seriously, "It's like this, Second Brother. I just received a pigeon message from our school, saying that Sister Changge will come here in a while. I ran away, but she couldn't find our home, so I hurried here."
Hearing that Changge was coming, Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly asked, "Changge, is she really coming?"
But as soon as he said this, he saw Zhang Xiaohua trying to hold back her laughter. He knew that he had been fooled by this little devil. He laughed and said, "Forget it. Which school are you from?
Beidou school or Misty School?
If you're from Misty School, why haven't I seen you take anyone as your teacher?
If you're from Beidou school, it seems that your successor is still in my eldest sister-in-law's belly! "
Seeing that Second Brother knew that she had been fooled, Zhang Xiaohua was not anxious. She said with a smile, "I just didn't want to help my eldest brother carry things, so I made it up. Look at him. He carries everything by himself. My eldest sister-in-law is empty-handed. Why does she want me to carry things for him?"
"Hehe," Zhang Xiaohu laughed and said, "You're wrong. Since you told Mother and Father this morning that my eldest sister-in-law is pregnant, she's now catching up with your status in the family. She's the first level of protection of our Zhang family. Not to mention carrying things, even drinking water has to be poured by Mother herself. Even if my eldest sister-in-law wants to get up, Mother will stop her."
"You see, didn't you say that the well water is good for the baby? Mother made another water tank and asked me to carry more water home."
Zhang Xiaohua shrugged and said, "Anyway, we have to leave home in a while. My eldest sister-in-law can take my place. I don't care. But her position won't last long. Mother loves the house and its crow. When the baby is born, my eldest sister-in-law will be left behind.
Oh, by the way, Second Brother, the spring water is better fresh. If it's left for a long time, it won't have any effect. You'd better not pick it. "
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu put the bucket on the ground and asked, "Xiaohua, is what you told us this morning true?
I always feel that you don't have such great ability. Is the 'Bull Strength' really so powerful?
By the way, you've been practicing in seclusion for nine days and nine nights. To be honest, although I'm just a beginner in martial arts, when I was in the escort agency, I've heard a lot of things in Jianghu. Why haven't I heard of this? "
Zhang Xiaohua pondered for a moment. In fact, he didn't plan to hide it from his family. There was no harm in telling them. However, his second brother was a disciple of the Misty School. If he knew, it would be difficult. The 'Carefree Heart Sutra' was definitely a treasure of the Misty School. If he secretly practiced it, even if Ou Peng eventually investigated, his second brother wouldn't know about it. Perhaps he wouldn't be implicated. However, if he didn't report it, it would be a different matter.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua said seriously, "Second Brother, everything I said is true. However, it's hard to explain the reason. Also, Second Brother, about me practicing for nine days and nine nights without sleep and rest, you should go back and tell Father and Mother. Don't tell anyone else. Some things are better left unsaid."
Zhang Xiaohu looked at his brother who was maturing day by day. He smiled and said, "You've already given your instructions. Father, Mother, and Mr. Liu have already discussed it when you were in seclusion. When you went out just now, you warned us again. Even if you beat me to death, I won't say a word!"
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Zhang Xiaohu and didn't speak for a long time. In the end, he said, "Thank you, Second Brother. Actually, I have some difficulties."
Zhang Xiaohu smiled and interrupted him. He said, "Xiaohua, you're my biological brother. I've watched you grow up. How could I not know what you're like?
If you don't want to say it, then forget it. I won't force you. "
Then, he picked up the bucket from the ground and said, "Let's go. Since you don't want to carry water, let's go home. Mother made that water jar for nothing. If it doesn't work, let her pickle vegetables."
When the two returned home, Guo Sufei saw that Zhang Xiaohu didn't come back with water and frowned. After Zhang Xiaohua explained, Guo Sufei smiled and said, "So it's like this. It's really good to have fresh water. In the future, let Xiaolong carry water three times a day. Our family's consumption will be changed to this well water."
Zhang Xiaolong smiled bitterly.
Zhang Xiaohua came out of closed-door training safely and Liu Qian was pregnant. The Zhang family could be considered to have two happy events. Naturally, it was very lively at night. Mr. Liu usually ate at the Zhang family's house. Of course, he wouldn't miss out today. The whole family was full of joy and harmony.
When it came to cooking, there were some problems. In the past, Liu Qian was the main chef and Guo Sufei was the assistant. Since the morning when she learned that Liu Qian was pregnant, Guo Sufei didn't let Liu Qian do anything. Of course, cooking was not allowed. Guo Sufei was used to cooking in the past, but it was extremely frugal. Now, the Zhang family could be considered to have more than three thousand six hundred taels of silver. This was unimaginable in the past. Today, although it couldn't be extravagant, it couldn't be said to be simple.
Therefore, the problem arose. How could Guo Sufei do it alone?
Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua asked for help, but they were chased out by Guo Sufei. How could she bear to do it when she didn't come back for two years?
When Liu Qian saw it, she just shook her head. Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua said to Guo Sufei, "Mother, it's better to let sister-in-law do it. In fact, the child hasn't formed yet. It won't affect anything. Moreover, isn't it good for the child to be more active?
When her pregnancy becomes obvious in the future and it's really inconvenient for her to move, it won't be too late to let her rest. "
"You're just a child. What do you know?
When you're pregnant, you have to take care of yourself. Don't lose the child. "
“
Zhang Xiaohua's divine sense swept over Liu Qian. She smiled and said to her mother, "In fact, sister-in-law's child is already half a year old. It's already stable. Mother can let sister-in-law move around. Moreover …"
Zhang Xiaohua paused. Then, she said, "sister-in-law's child is different from ordinary people. We don't know when it will be formed. Mother, you have to be prepared. You can't be impatient."
"Ah ~ I see." Guo Sufei felt a little unprepared. "How long will it take?"
Zhang Xiaohua said, "How would I know?
Maybe a year and a half. Maybe three to five years is also possible. You can't let sister-in-law not work for three to five years. "
"This?" Guo Sufei didn't say anything.
Liu Qian took the opportunity to step forward and said, "Mother, who cares how long it will take? We'll still live as usual. I'll work as usual. It won't be too late to talk about it when the melon is ripe."
Guo Sufei nodded hesitantly. Liu Qian smiled and hurried into the kitchen. The whole family was waiting to eat. How could they not be anxious?
Although the food at home wasn't as good as at Huan Xi Manor, the atmosphere was completely different. Zhang Xiaohua liked this kind of happy atmosphere very much. Although her appetite wasn't very good, she still ate a lot. After the meal, everyone drank tea and chatted. They talked about some interesting things. Zhang Xiaohu also shared his experience as a bodyguard.
Although there were such opportunities a few days ago, Zhang Xiaohua was still meditating in the field. How could the family be in the mood today?
Perhaps it wasn't until today that everyone was completely relieved.
Late at night, everyone returned to their rooms. Zhang Xiaolong went out and sent Mr. Liu back.
When they returned to the room, Zhang Xiaohua asked, "Second Brother, do you sleep or practice at night?"
Zhang Xiaohu said, "Usually, I practice. I've just started practicing the Art of Ethereal Magic. It's time for me to consolidate it, so I need to practice more. A few days ago, I saw you meditating, so I didn't dare practice."
Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "Then let's practice together."
Zhang Xiaohu smiled and said, "Okay, let's compete. Let's see who can improve faster."
In fact, he had long lost confidence in his younger brother. Practicing for nine days and nine nights is not something an ordinary person can do. Although he didn't have the opportunity to test Zhang Xiaohua's internal force, he absolutely believed that he may not be his younger brother's opponent.
Zhang Xiaohu closed the door, walked to the kang and sat cross-legged. According to Wen Wenhai's teachings, according to the records of 《Ethereal Divine Art》, he practiced breathing and refined his internal force.
Zhang Xiaohua wasn't in a hurry. He just sat cross-legged and released his divine sense to feel the energy around him. He sighed softly. How could these few strands of energy be enough for him to practice?
He saw Zhang Xiaohu meditating and couldn't help but sweep his divine sense towards Zhang Xiaohu. However, he didn't feel any signs of energy. Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel strange. Listening to Second Brother's tone, his 《Ethereal Divine Art》 was already at the entry level. His qi was also beginning to take shape. How could there be no signs of energy?
Although his divine sense was like an eye, it was still sensitive to energy. Even the fetus in Liu Qian's body was only able to sense it because it absorbed energy. If there wasn't such an opportunity, how could Zhang Xiaohua know so much?
Perhaps the 《Ethereal Divine Art》 had some mysteries that he didn't understand. Thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua took out two small stones from his bosom. He held one in each hand and closed his eyes to absorb the energy.
Zhang Xiaohua originally thought that since the Primordial Stone was so small, the Primordial Qi within it must be limited, and the absorption would be very weak. However, just as he circulated his Qi, he felt an extremely rich Primordial Qi flow out of the Primordial Stone in his hand and into his meridians. It was the same as sitting on the Primordial Stone a few days ago. Zhang Xiaohua quickly suppressed his astonishment and calmly absorbed and refined the Primordial Qi.
However, he didn't immediately enter a meditative state. After a while, he stopped absorbing and didn't open his eyes. He just used his divine sense to sweep the stone.
This sweep didn't matter. Zhang Xiaohua was surprised. The energy in the stone was still abundant. It didn't weaken because of his absorption. This small stone might not be too durable. If so, this small stone would be enough for him to practice for a long time. Thinking about the huge Crouching Ox Stone in his purse, Zhang Xiaohua's mouth almost cracked from smiling.
