Paradise

"What are you talking about, that kid will come over at the end of the year to talk about a matchmaking engagement? No, it's not going to work, my brother Dong is only so old, what's the purpose of getting married at such a young age." Yuan's father's eyes widened and he shook his head.

"Why are you young? I think we were married at this age back then. I still remember that you told me at that time that you were afraid that I would be married by someone else, so you should find a matchmaker in advance to make a kiss..."

Mother Yuan said, mentioning this, she fell into memories, as if various scenes they experienced when they were young appeared in front of them.

"Aren't I afraid that you will be married away by others? At that time, there were several boys in our village staring at you. Fortunately, I shot quickly, hehe..." Yuan's father on the side also fell into memory, took a step forward, and hugged you. Clinging to Mother Yuan's body, Mother Yuan leaned on Father Yuan, and the two had a rare moment of tenderness.

"It's said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so don't overly meddle in the affairs of our brother Yuan Dong, just know what's in your mind." Mother Yuan said.

"I listen to you." Father Yuan said.

*******

The two little bamboo horses who deliberately ran a long way to dump ashes did not know that their behavior had been discovered by the parents of the Yuan family. The two of them stood in the cold wind and snow, as if they didn't feel cold, they just took advantage of this opportunity to chat .

"Brother Dong'er, I have already made plans. I will ask someone to go to your house to propose marriage in a few days. What do you think?" Lin Bao said.

"You already have an idea, and you still ask me?" Brother Yuan Dong bit his lips lightly, and said softly, his hand holding the sweet potato tightened involuntarily, and his heart beat rapidly a few times , What Lin Bao said was a big surprise for him.

Lin Bao stood opposite Brother Yuan Dong, looked left and right for no one, stretched out two hands, wrapped Brother Yuan Dong's hand in his, and said: "Of course I have to ask you, if you are willing, I will do it." Ask someone to propose marriage, Brother Dong, are you willing?"

"Take your hands back quickly, someone will see you later." Brother Yuan Dong's face had turned red at this time, and he looked around in a panic, afraid of being seen.

"Don't worry, no one, who would come out to hang out in this cold weather, Brother Dong, you haven't answered me yet, do you want to?" Lin Bao said intentionally.

"You, if you do this again, I'll get angry and ignore you." Brother Yuan Dong stomped his feet angrily when Lin Bao asked him like this, and finally said, "What's the use of my willingness, I'm afraid It's my father who disagrees, you always come to me, and my father sees you as an eyesore recently."

Seeing that Brother Yuan Dong was angry, Lin Bao hurriedly coaxed, "Don't be angry, Brother Dong, don't worry, as long as you are willing, your father will definitely agree."

"Are you that sure?" Brother Yuan Dong frowned.

"Well, I know your mother is quite satisfied with me, as long as she lets go, I don't think your father will make things difficult for me, Brother Dong, don't worry, just wait until I come to propose marriage. " Lin Bao laughed.

"Okay, I'm going back, I've been out for a while, my family should look for me later." Brother Yuan Dong said.

"Okay, I'll take you back." Lin Bao sent Brother Yuan Dong back home along the same route, and then returned home with a smirk on his face.

Zhou Ze and Lin Yu in the yard fought two sets of punches. After all, it was too snowy outside, so they didn't stay too long. They went back to the house, surrounded by the warm stove, eating sweet and fragrant roasted sweet potatoes, This cold winter is also a rare treat.

Lin Bao ran out in a hurry just now. He didn't wear a hat. He stayed outside for a long time before. When he came back now, the white snowflakes on his head entered the room mixed with the cold air, and his face was flushed from the cold.

"Xiaobao, where did you go? You don't wear a hat. You have snow on your head. In such a cold day, be careful not to catch a cold." Lin Yu said, and hurriedly found a dry Give Lin Bao a cloth towel to wipe his hair, worrying that he will catch a cold.

Lin Bao took the towel and wiped it on his head, he didn't care at all, his face was still cheerful, "It's okay, I'm not cold at all, I won't catch a cold, I'm very strong now."

Lin Yu reached out and touched Lin Bao's face and hands. It was cold and distressed, "Are you still cold? Look how cold your hands and face are, and you still smile so beautifully, isn't it It’s so cold, I can’t even feel the cold.”

Hearing what his brother said, Lin Bao seemed to come back to reality from a dream. He cupped his hands in front of his face, took a few breaths of steam, then leaned closer to the carbon basin, rubbed his hands and warmed himself by the fire, and shouted, "Brother, what are you doing like this?" As soon as I said it, I really felt cold."

Lin Yu shook his head speechlessly. Based on his understanding of his younger brother, he made it clear that Lin Bao had something hidden in his heart, and judging by his cheerful appearance, it probably had something to do with Brother Yuan Dong. I mentioned going to the Yuan family to propose marriage at the end of the year.

"Xiaobao, it's a good thing, don't say it, let's be happy together." Zhou Ze joked with a smile.

Lin Bao didn't want to hide it, and didn't say anything shy, and said directly, "I went to see Brother Yuan just now, and I told him about going to his house to propose marriage in a few days."

Having said that, the smile on Lin Bao's face got bigger.

"So, Brother Yuan agrees?" Lin Yu said.

"Of course." Lin Bao said as a matter of course.

"This is really a happy event, but Xiaobao, you have thought about the parents who don't have Brother Yuan Dong, what if they don't agree?" Lin Yu was a little worried.

"Brother, don't worry, this matter is not going away, brother Zhou, you have to help me figure it out and find a matchmaker who can answer the question. Let's pick a date to propose marriage, and then get engaged, to finalize the marriage... ..." Lin Bao became happier as he spoke.

"Okay, don't worry. I've taken this matter to heart. I'll cover it for you in the past few days. If you're impatient and can't eat hot tofu, I'm going to propose marriage to you now. It will take a few years to get married."

Zhou Ze smiled and said, looking at this young man who grew to the height of his shoulders, he felt a real feeling in his heart. He is only 12 years old now, and he has started to discuss his own marriage. It is really incredible.

Lin Bao followed suit with a smile, "I know, I just want to fix Brother Dong first, so as not to be preempted by others in the future."

After all, this era is not modern. People become adults when they are 16 years old. It is also common for people to get engaged at the age of twelve or thirteen. There are also people who marry children, and there are engagements in the womb. Zhou Ze also understands that do as the Romans do This principle, don't get too entangled in it.

"It's a good thing to settle down early. You and Brother Dong grew up together and have a deep friendship. It's also good to get married and live together in the future."

Lin Yu also agrees with this. He hopes that his younger brother will find someone he likes to live with, just like him and Zhou Ze. They like each other, and life is sweet.

At this point, Lin Bao's going to Yuan's family to propose a marriage was put on the agenda by the Lin family. At the same time, Luoxia Village, including several nearby villages, and even some villages and towns farther away, were quietly discussing something and proceeding quietly. Issues.

Luoxia Village soon got definite news that not only their village had a practice book, but other villages also had such a book. It can be said that many places have such a book.

Not only that, some villages and towns have already gathered young people in the village to practice the boxing techniques in it. For a while, many villages and towns have formed a trend of martial arts.

Naturally, the people in Luoxia Village were not far behind. The village urgently called all the villagers who could be the masters of the village to discuss together, and finally gathered all the young people in the village together, and started studying in the compound of the village chief's house. Practice exercises.

For a while, the matter of martial arts practice caused a great stir in the village. Every household closed their doors and talked about these things at home, and the young people even gathered together to discuss.Of course, when these things were said and done, they were said behind closed doors, and no one publicized them with much fanfare. It can be said that on this matter that is beneficial to everyone, the villagers' attitude towards secrecy is unanimous.

Such a thing as martial arts practice lit a bonfire of hope in people's hearts in the cold winter. Everyone thought that their offspring would be promising and capable. Naturally, such a good opportunity should not be missed.

On the first day of study, almost all the men, women and children in the village went to the village compound, but the village head saw that there were too many people and too noisy, so he drove most of them back home, leaving only some young children. There are also some boys who are over eight years old. Because Zhou Ze is good at skills, the village head gave him a job as a coach, teaching them every move and training them.

In addition to the men in the village who came to learn boxing, some younger brothers in the village were also very interested in it. Some finally persuaded their family members to come and stand behind to fight together. Lin Yu and Brother Yun were among them. Even Brother Yuan Dong was moved by Lin Bao's words, so he ran over to learn boxing together.

Of course, people's longing wishes are good, whether they can be realized or not depends on the right time, place and people, and the most important thing depends on each person's own talent and hard work.

At the very beginning, people had a lot of longing for martial arts, but when they got in touch with it, they realized that it was not easy, but rather difficult. Life is much harder.

Not to mention running in the morning, I have to squat in the cold wind, press my legs, and learn boxing one by one. Finally, after a long time of tossing, my waist is sore and my legs hurt, and I can't lift my arms. This is not learning martial arts, it is simply suffer.

Some people give up after only three days. Practicing boxing in the cold wind is not as comfortable as being in a warm bed. Some people stop coming one after another, and some people come intermittently. It can be said that it is three days of fishing and two days of drying the net. There are not many people who want to learn and succeed.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Ze also shook his head, and didn't say much.He has also foreseen this kind of thing before. Martial arts training is not for everyone. It requires strict self-control and the ability to endure hardships, as well as a certain amount of talent. things.

This exercise booklet only contains the most basic exercises and moves. There are only thirty pages in a book, and there are more than twenty moves. It is not difficult to learn it. These all require continuous practice and exercise in the later stage.

Zhou Ze doesn't know martial arts, what he can do is to let these people memorize the moves, practice them, and then rely on their own development to comprehend the rest.

So he spent a month asking them to memorize all the moves, so that they could make a similar shape, and let them practice hard at home for the rest, and there was only so much he could do.

When the atmosphere of learning martial arts was in full swing in various villages "secretly", this matter was also known to those big families and powerful people in the court. When they knew about this matter, some aristocratic families were surprised and puzzled. Some families feel that their dignity has been violated and are very angry. The attitudes of various forces are different, but they all send people to the villages and towns to investigate.

The result of the investigation is that there is nothing to be afraid of, just because the posture of "painting a tiger can't be an anti-dog" of the villagers who practice martial arts made them all laugh, it is simply unseemly, just like a small fight, it can't form a climate, provoke People laughed.

On the other hand, this exercise book is just the most basic exercise book after all, they don't care, it's in their hands, they just want their own people to benefit from it.

Nowadays, the saints are fond of martial arts, and they have always valued martial arts. This is the reason why they, the big families, value martial arts. Now that even the villagers in the village practice martial arts, it can be said that the whole people practice martial arts. Well, those big families and aristocratic families thought so, and let people let it out, saying that these exercises were spread by them, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. They can not only sell well to the common people, but also show their face to the Holy One.

Of course, in any case, the result of this matter is still good.
