Chapter 823 - 823: No Improvements
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan did not say anything else.
The two of them went home together.
Xue Yan had already started practicing martial arts, so had to persevere every day. Hence, the next day, before dawn, Xue Yan got up and practiced in his room again.
By the time it was breakfast, he had practiced the horse stance for almost two hours.
Of course, it was done intermittently.
He would take a break after each incense stick was burned. After he rested, he would continue to burn another new one.
He couldn’t just stay there unmoving for two hours, his legs would give out.
He wanted to help out when his family needed help. However, his family asked him to take care of his Jiang Yue. He couldn’t practice all day long. He made a commitment to practice for at least six hours a day. If he didn’t finish it in the morning, he would continue practicing in the afternoon. If he didn’t finish it in the afternoon, he would practice it in the evening.
After breakfast, as usual, Xue Yan took Jiang Yue to visit their grandfather.
Xue Dabao, Xue Xiaobao, and Xue Gouzi were on their school break. The three of them were studying in the same private school and had returned from school. Since Xue Dagui was working in the shop in town, he let Xue Gouzi stay with his grandfather. With his grandkids around, Xue Da e s place became much more lively.
Xue Gouzi was also much more cheerful than before. When he saw Xue Yan and Jiang Yue arrive with Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao, he immediately surrounded Xue Yan and Jiang Yue and played around.
Xue Da stood at the side with his walking stick and watched happily.
After staying at the old man’s place for a while, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue returned. However, Before they entered the courtyard, they saw Sifu driving a carriage back.
The wooden carriage behind was a handcart without a carriage.
Whether it was the cart in the shop or the cart at home, they were all used to pull things. Sifu was obviously here to bring some things back.
However, wasn’t Dagui usually the one who came to the house to carry things to town?
“Sifu.” Xue Yan and Jiang Yue both stood there obediently and called their brother.
“Why are you guys here?”
“We were coming back from Grandpa’s place.”
“Oh, I’m going to visit Grandpa later as well.”
As soon as Xue Sifu finished speaking, Liu Guixia heard the voice and rushed out. She was especially happy. “Sihu, why are you back today? Hey, where’s your Dagui? Wasn’t he supposed to bring the things back today?”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also looked at Sifu, waiting for his answer.
Xue Sifu tied the horse to a tree and laughed, “Someone came to the town to buy things yesterday. He wasn’t feeling well and had been coughing for a few days. He went back yesterday afternoon and hasn’t returned to the shop yet.”
“Is it serious?” Liu Guixia asked with concern. “If it’s serious, he can go to Doctor Shen. Doctor Shen’s medical skills are good.”
“I heard that it’s not that serious. It could be that he was just uncomfortable from all the coughing and needs time to recuperate.” Xue Sifu laughed.
“That’s good, that’s good.” Liu Guixia smiled. “Go, go, go. Hurry up and go in. The rice noodles, firewood, and other things have been prepared. You don’t often come back, so take as much time as you need here. No matter what, you have to eat lunch before leaving.”
“Yes, Mother.” After speaking to his mother, Xue Sifu began to tease the two children. “Missed me? Let’s go in.. Aren’t you kids cold?”
