Chapter 189: Big Brother's Partiality
Chapter 189: Big Brother's Partiality
Ah, this...
Having stayed here for a long time, there was no electronic technology, and Bai Lu had forgotten about things like batteries.
After opening the remote control, she found it empty inside, confirming that there were indeed no batteries.
Bai Lu quickly searched the box containing the TV and found a pair of batteries beneath the foam.
After quickly installing the batteries, she tested the volume and changed channels, and everything worked perfectly.
"It's done."
"Ah Cheng, the TV is ready."
Xiao Cheng, done placing the satellite dish, descended the ladder with support on both sides—on the left, a bald little head filled with admiration, and on the right, a girl with bright eyes.
A pair of happy smiles, one big and one small.
Their expressions even tinted his eyes and brows with a hint of a smile.
The tall table, with a TV and remote control, was spacious enough, and the 21-inch TV was perfectly positioned.
The TV was playing "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," depicting Guo Jing rescuing Huang Rong with his exceptional martial arts, defeating a crowd of opponents.
The powerful sounds of the fight echoed from the TV, creating a slight vibration on the tall table, as if the residual force from the martial arts in the TV was attacking, an unprecedented experience. Xiao Wei watched in amazement, his eyes wide
open.
"Sister-in-law, are the people in the TV always this powerful in their fights? Can one palm defeat so many people, shattering the mountains and trees nearby?"
Bai Lu, reminiscing while watching the classic TV drama, explained with a full heart: "Not everyone is that powerful. Guo Jing is so skilled because he learned the 'Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.'"
"The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is an extremely powerful martial art. Each palm has the force to move mountains and seas, boundless power, and it can break through anything. Ordinary people are no match for it."
Her explanation flowed smoothly, and her storytelling was clear, as if she had watched this TV drama many times before.
Her reaction to the TV was as ordinary as looking at a common, everyday cup.
Xiao Cheng, tapping a cup filled with tea, took a sip, thoughtful.
Xiao Wei, full of admiration, exclaimed, "Why is Guo Jing so skilled in martial arts? Who taught him?"
"Hong Qigong."
"Hong Qigong's surname is not Guo, so he's probably not related to Guo Jing. Why would he teach Guo Jing such powerful martial arts?" Xiao Wei questioned, curious.
"Because of Huang Rong," Bai Lu patiently explained. "Hong Qigong loves delicious food, and Huang Rong cooked delicious meals for him. In return, Hong Qigong taught Guo Jing martial arts."
"Why did Huang Rong help Guo Jing?"
"Because Huang Rong and Guo Jing are a couple."
Xiao Wei turned his head, eyes full of anticipation, looking at Bai Lu. "When will Sister-in-law take Big Brother to learn these exceptional martial arts?"
Is there a trap in this question?
Bai Lu, noticing the mischievous smile on the big brother's face, decided to throw the question back to the ungrateful Xiao Wei: "Don't you think your brother is already powerful enough?"
"Of course not," Xiao Wei shook his head vigorously, turning his head like a tambourine: "Big Brother is the most powerful."
"You said Huang Rong and Guo Jing are a couple, so Huang Rong helped Guo Jing learn exceptional martial arts. Since you and Big Brother are a couple, teaching Big Brother exceptional martial arts is normal, right..." Xiao Wei's questioning became bolder.
In the past, he wouldn't speak for three days, but now, whenever Bai Lu was around, he dared to say anything, especially when Xiao Cheng was present. Words poured out like a basket overflowing with no fear of Xiao Cheng.
Bai Lu realized this kid was getting a bit audacious, not only dropping the ball at critical moments but also lacking loyalty.
Xiao Cheng, if he learned from her, would probably regress.
Does she want to experience the big brother being taught by her kind of destruction-style teaching?
She practiced army body fist only for physical fitness and had not delved deeper or used any specific martial arts techniques. She had never applied any advanced techniques and hadn't practiced any internal energy. Her skills were incomparable to Xiao Cheng's memory of brutal and fierce Eight Extremes Fist.
If Xiao Cheng learned from her, he would definitely regress.
Does she want to experience a destruction-style teaching of the big brother?
Glancing at Xiao Cheng, Bai Lu chuckled and gave Xiao Wei a cold smile. "Your brother is already very powerful; there's no need to learn."
Xiao Wei looked at the silent big brother and then at the smiling and gentle Bai Lu.
He felt that Big Brother wanted to learn: "He wants to learn."
Bai Lu maintained her cool smile: "No need to learn."
"Big Brother didn't speak, so he definitely wants to learn."
"He's not speaking, which means he denies it."
"He agrees!"
"He denies."
"Agrees!"
"Denies!"
"Agrees!"
"Denie..." Xiao Wei just started arguing when a cold gaze from Xiao Cheng silenced him immediately.
Xiao Cheng glanced at him lightly. "Go to school."
Xiao Wei: "..."
Big brother is biased!
It's not yet time for school!
Bai Lu's eyes lifted at the corners, her lips slightly curved, revealing a triumphant smile to the defeated little bald head.
However, in the next moment, a large, gentle hand patted her head. Xiao Cheng's broad and warm palm gently rubbed her hair.
"Don't argue with a brainless kid."
Bai Lu: "..."
Was she comforted? Or was she comforted?
The brainless kid covered his face and ran away.
Of course, he didn't forget to pick up his little school bag. Big Brother told him to go to school, ensuring he studied well.
In Big Brother's heart, he still had some weight, just not as important as Big Sister-in-law.
Not sad at all, not sad at all. Not at all sad.
......
Today is a good day to settle accounts every three days. After finishing her stall, Wu Xiuyun came to Bai Lu's house, bringing some fruits.
Approaching the courtyard, she heard a lot of noisy voices inside, seeming like there were many people.
She thought Bai Lu had many guests and intended to come back another day. When she reached the door, she heard the voices more clearly. Opening the door, she expected to find many guests, but there was no one inside.
Only Xiao Cheng, dealing with fish by the well, and Bai Lu, washing ginger by another basin.
The two of them were chatting and laughing, creating a warm atmosphere.
Opening the door of the main house without seeing any guests, but hearing frequent voices, Wu Xiuyun knocked on the door.
Bai Lu turned her head and smiled, getting up to welcome her: "Auntie Wu, come in and have a cup of tea."
Wu Xiuyun, placing her basket aside, smiled and declined: "You have guests, entertain them first. I'm not in a hurry, and I live next door. We can settle the accounts tomorrow. There are some fruits in the basket; you guys taste them."
"Thank you, Auntie Wu." Bai Lu thanked Wen Xiuyun and handed the cleaned ginger to Xiao Cheng, washing her hands.
Inviting Wu Xiuyun to the main house, Bai Lu said, "There are no guests in the house. Auntie Wu probably heard the sound from the TV. Come, let's sit inside and chat."
