Chapter 144: Chapter 144: All Good Seedlings
Cai Ming finished today’s lesson for Zhao Xu and Gong Ruwen, "Is there anything you don’t understand?"
Zhao Xu shook his head, "Not at the moment."
Listening to the usual lack of problems, Gong Ruwen lowered his head even more.
Honestly, Zhao Xu is too smart, making Gong Ruwen feel a lot of pressure.
"Ruwen, you’re younger than Xu, it’s normal not to understand." Cai Ming had tutored kids before, even taught his nephew, but the result was really something he didn’t want to mention.
Zhao Xu and Gong Ruwen brought him a big shock, these two kids are really smart, and more importantly, they are willing to learn, which is the most crucial.
Compared to Gong Ruwen, Cai Ming was most shocked by Gong Ruini; really, he never imagined Gong Ruini would be so clever.
Could it be true, as the saying goes, that heaven doesn’t cut off all paths for a person? Heaven didn’t give Ni Zi a healthy body, but gave her a clever brain?
What a pity, such a smart child can only stay in this small mountain village. If it were ten years ago, she could still consider going to college.
Cai Ming gazed at her, and Gong Ruini could feel it, but the constantly scrutinizing look made her very uncomfortable.
Hm, just knew this kid didn’t have any good ideas.
"Ni Zi, you’re really smart and you work hard, but you should move around more, you can’t just read all the time."
Cai Ming was mostly surprised that such a young child as Gong Ruini could sit still, often seeing her lean over the table either reading or writing, really making him feel a lot of pressure.
If Cai Ming hadn’t seen many older kids than Gong Ruini who were all wildly playful, assuming kids nowadays only play, it would be unbelievable to see everyone here seriously studying.
"Absolutely." Zhao Guangran loved hearing this, he felt a lot of pressure from Gong Ruini, "Uncle, your words are spot on."
"I always feel Ni Zi’s health isn’t good, it’s because she doesn’t exercise much."
"How can someone be healthy if they’re always cooped up at home?"
"She should go outside, have snowball fights, and play with friends."
Of course, Zhao Guangran wanted to encourage Gong Ruini to go out and play, so he could also go out himself, he had already forgotten the last time he had fun outside.
In the middle of winter, playing like this, Gong Ruini indeed didn’t like it, though she could dress warmly without getting chilled—bundled up like a bear, heated from play, the sweat couldn’t escape, a breeze might make her sick.
It’s not that Gong Ruini didn’t want to exercise, nor was she overly timid, it’s just she truly felt her body wasn’t strong enough.
Clearly she didn’t suffer when they went to the recycling station that day, spent the journey in the car with a stove inside, wrapped in a blanket while sleeping—all seemed fine not getting cold, yet she fell ill.
The lively Zhao Xu and Gong Ruwen who went along left Gong Ruini speechless.
But no matter how much Gong Ruini complained about her weak body, she couldn’t let Zhao Guangran step over her to rise, "I exercise indoors too."
Not mentioning exercise was fine, once mentioned, Zhao Guangran laughed lewdly, "Ni Zi, you’re only doing simple stretching."
"Those exercises really improve health?" Zhao Guangran recalled those movements, feeling uncomfortable, watching others do is easy, doing yourself is difficult.
"You just don’t know how to do it." Gong Ruini remembered Zhao Guangran doing yoga, laughed, "Brother Xu Ran and they do really well."
"Hm, still not better than playing outside." Zhao Guangran wouldn’t involve Zhao Xu and them, or there’d be no good outcome for him, couldn’t let Gong Ruini find allies.
"Then go play outside; if you want to, no one is stopping you." Trying to drag her down with him? Making her fail the assessment too, young man, your thinking is too naive.
Going out is fine, just don’t miss class time, but with assessment hanging over him, how could Zhao Guangran dare go out?
Moreover, if Gong Ruini didn’t pass the assessment either, his family’s older brother wouldn’t want to punish them.
"I don’t like playing outside." If it were spring, smelling the spring, digging some wild greens would be nice.
Now going out, there’s only snow, is there anything interesting?
"I’ll go out when spring arrives." Gong Ruini glared at Zhao Guangran, "The assessment is tomorrow, are you ready, Brother Guangran?"
"Last time I heard Gou Dan shouting at the door for you to go play." Gong Ruini was waiting to see Zhao Guangran’s anxious look.
No way, only going out when spring arrives? That’ll be too long, Zhao Guangran almost cried, can he really not go out?
No, he can’t not go out this week, Zhao Guangran didn’t have time to push Gong Ruini, since she was certainly going to pass the assessment.
One opponent, just resolved so easily, it’s really lacking in sense of accomplishment from battle.
"Ni Zi, why only go out in spring?" Cai Ming didn’t understand why Gong Ruini didn’t go out, shouldn’t Southern kids be excited seeing snow?
Cai Ming remembered it seemed Gong Ruini had her brother-in-law get a snowboard, he played too, though tiring, it’s easier than walking in the snow.
"I’m afraid of getting sweaty from play, then catching a cold." Anyway, she was seen by many as someone with poor health, so she simply treated herself as a sickly cat.
Well, speaking so frankly, Cai Ming could only not mention anymore, "Ni Zi, uncle can teach you a boxing method, how about it?"
Boxing method? Gong Ruini didn’t understand why Cai Ming proposed teaching her boxing now?
Never heard Cai Ming knew boxing, the Cai family ancestors shouldn’t either, but if he really knew boxing, why is his body so frail?
People practicing martial arts shouldn’t appear this skinny, Gong Ruini felt Cai Ming must’ve learned some folk technique, unorthodox.
Gong Ruini despised all over, but seeing Cai Ming’s expectant look, agreed to learn a thing or two.
"It’s very simple." Cai Ming thought Gong Ruini was reluctant, afraid it was difficult, so reassured.
Although Zhao Guangran was helplessly reviewing coursework nearby, hearing the commotion, when Cai Ming suddenly offered to teach boxing, he couldn’t sit still.
Though coursework is important, though going out on Sunday is important, learning boxing tops them all for Zhao Guangran.
No matter how mature Zhao Xu seemed, he’s still a boy, hearing the chance to learn boxing, he too was extremely excited.
No need to mention Gong Ruwen, also standing up ready to follow.
Gong Ruini really wanted to say, practicing yoga is enough, she didn’t want arms to be muscular, but among five people present, passed through 4:1 just like that.
