Chapter 214 Progress
Zhou Guo looked at it and thought it was a perfect fit. He praised, "Master, you look really smart in this."
Everyone agreed, it was spirited. Zhou Gu smiled and said, "Sir, you seem to have suddenly become ten years younger. As the saying goes, people rely on their pretense, and horses rely on their things. It's true. I want to take a bath and wear new clothes, too."
Everyone laughed.
The old man also smiled and said, "Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Go quickly."
Zhou Guo took out a set of white cotton clothes, which she had asked Li to make for her. Her original words were that her outer clothes, shoes and socks did not need to be made for the time being, but this set of inner clothes had to be made first, as she was really not used to sleeping without pajamas.
She went into the house with a set of clean, whitish clothes. After taking a shower and washing her hair, she came out in her underwear, feeling refreshed. For the first time, she felt that the moonless night was also quite good. After taking off the tattered and dirty old clothes, she felt as if even her breathing had become much lighter.
When everyone saw her coming out in a white lining, they were puzzled, "Why are you wearing this?"
Zhou Guo looked down and tugged at his pajamas, which were somewhat loose. He was extremely satisfied and said with a smile, "I'm going to cover myself with new bedding tonight, so of course I'll wear it to sleep."
"Why do you sleep in clothes when you already have bedding? Will it be comfortable?" Several people were even more confused.
Zhou Guo shook his head, put his hands behind his back and staggered back to the shed. Just as he was about to lie down and have a good sleep under the new quilt, something was covered over his head.
"Dry your hair before going to bed. It's still dripping. If you sleep like this, you will definitely feel uncomfortable when you wake up tomorrow morning." Li took a piece of dry cloth and gently wiped Zhou Guo's head. While wiping, she said, "I don't know where you got this habit from. You have to wear another set of clothes when you sleep. You can go to bed directly after taking a shower and changing into new clothes. Why do you have to make another set?"
Zhou Guo closed his eyes comfortably, and replied in a daze: "It's uncomfortable to sleep in outer clothes. It hurts. Mom, when you have some free time, make one for yourself. You will know after you try it."
The voice became softer and softer.
Li looked down and saw that, as expected, he had closed his eyes and fallen asleep.
I don't know if it's because he practiced too much, but he sat up straight even when he fell asleep. As a mother, I felt a little distressed. I gently put him into the bed, put his head on my lap, and wiped him slowly.
It was late at night when the Zhou family members finished taking a bath, but in order to get into a comfortable and warm bed, they all waited with their eyes open. The two younger ones at the back were simply put in the same bucket to bathe together.
Lying in the soft quilt, everyone sighed comfortably.
Zhou Gu pulled at the quilt on his body and said, "This new quilt is still more comfortable. I haven't slept so comfortably in a long time."
Zhou Mi, who was sleeping on the side, said, "Brother, don't grab the quilt. I'm only covering one corner. Forget it. I'll just sleep over there."
……
Zhou Guo opened her eyes. It was still dark. This was the most comfortable sleep she had had in a long time. The bed was warm, and the cotton quilt cover felt delicate, soft and comfortable. Her limbs seemed to be bathed in the sun. She was so comfortable that she wanted to stay in bed.
She stretched, closed her eyes, threw down the quilt and sat up. She touched the clothes next to the pillow and felt something was wrong. It was made of cotton and seemed to be new. Her mother had made two sets for her.
Zhou Guo was very happy to have new clothes to wear.
The old man and Zhou Dacang were also wearing new clothes. With the new clothes, everyone's spirit seemed to have changed.
Not long after, Zhou Mai and Zhou Xing also got up. After so many days, they had made progress in horse stance. They could now do it for two moments instead of just one moment before.
The two were very happy to see the progress. Every day, no matter how tired they were, they would get up as soon as they opened their eyes and practice horse stance with perseverance.
On the other hand, Zhou Guo and Zhou Dacang have made rapid progress in recent days, and when they fight with swords and boxing, it is difficult for them to even keep up.
This often caused Zhou and Mai to sigh, "We are all from the same family, born from the same parents, but why are there so many differences?"
The old man felt the same way and could only comfort them, "Twins are different, let alone you. The innate differences cannot be made up. You should not compare yourself with the two of them. After all, there are only a few people like you in the world. Few people can compare with you."
Fortunately, he is older, otherwise if he was born in the same age as them, he would probably doubt himself every day.
Zhou Guo and Zhou Dacang didn't feel anything, mainly because they had no reference and didn't know that their progress was actually incredibly fast.
After sitting still, the two began to practice boxing and sword techniques over and over again. The clanging sounds soon woke up other people in the house.
As the sky brightened, all the Zhou family members were up. More and more people began to gather in the yard, and soon, smoke from cooking began to rise.
The flash of a knife was flying in a corner of the yard, and two figures rose and fell. The people who stood up had nothing to do, so they squatted aside and watched them fight each other.
Zhou Gu's face was full of envy. "It's amazing. This move is so neat and tidy. Who can get close to him? Do you think if I start practicing now, will I be as good as him by this time next year?"
Zhou Mai pounded his legs and said, "Brother, you think too much. Look at me and my sister. We have been getting up every day to do the exercises for so many days. Now we can only hold on for a little longer. For the same number of days, look at how they are playing with the knives now. If they are any faster, we won't be able to see the knives. The master said that this is the innate difference between people."
Zhou Gu was not convinced, "I don't expect to be as good as them, half of them will do."
Zhou Mi suddenly said, "Brother, can't you bear the pain of doing horse stance? After doing it for two days, your legs were so sore that you could hardly walk. Didn't you say you would never learn kung fu again? But if you want to practice kung fu with a teacher, you have to start with horse stance every day, and you have to do it for half a cup of tea every day. Can you do it?"
Zhou Gu was speechless. Doing horse stance was too tiring. Compared to this, he would rather go to the fields to cut wheat. His legs were so painful at that time that he was shaking when he went down.
Zhou Mai smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to make half a cup of tea every day. You can take your time, but it will slow down your progress."
Zhou Mi laughed at him, "According to your and Big Sister's progress, how many years will it take to become as good as them?"
He pointed at Zhou Guo and Zhou Dacang who were fighting nearby.
Zhou Gu said: "Yes, did the master tell you how long it would take you to practice this set of swordsmanship?"
Zhou Mai's expression remained unchanged. "Don't worry, horse stance is also good. Do you want to try my current leg skills?"
The two were very disdainful, "Just your leg skills? You couldn't withstand my kick before, and you're shaking after just two days of training. Look at my sweeping kick."
Zhou Mi took the lead and immediately squatted down and swept out with his legs before anyone could react.
With the same force as usual, he didn't fall down. He shook twice and stood firm again!
Zhou Mi was surprised, "It seems that the acupuncture steps are still very effective."
Zhou Mai raised his eyebrows, very happy. It was not just him who said he had made progress.
