Chapter 26: A girl three years older than me holds a gold brick. Is it possible to hold three gold bricks?
"Eat fish~eat fish~eat fish~~"
Du Ruo took two stones and walked towards home with the jumping Yaya.
"You are such a fool. You took Yaya outside in the hot weather. Aren't you afraid of getting her tanned?"
As soon as I got home, my mother scolded me.
"It's okay, kids grow up fast if they get more sun. By the way, mom, I'm staying at the B&B tonight, so you don't have to cook for me."
Du Ruo said with a smile, and walked upstairs with the washed smooth stone.
"Uncle, when are we going to eat fish?"
Yaya's face was wiped by her mother with a wet towel. During the process, she did not forget to ask Du Ruo who was about to go upstairs, for fear that Du Ruo would forget what she promised her.
"I can't forget your fish. Wash your hands quickly. Your mother will come to pick you up later."
Du Ruo had already gone up to the second floor and could still hear the conversation between Yaya and her mother.
When they reached the second floor, Du Ruo was in the room, doing horse stance, and starting with the spindle-shaped stone, he planned to experiment with the effect of the stone.
There is nothing special about the training of the tiger's mouth stick. It is just one movement. Grasp the two ends of the stone stick with both hands and then rotate it inward or outward. The horse stance is just to exercise the lower body skills at the same time.
Of course, when doing this kind of hard training, it is best to apply medicated wine on your hands and joints before exercising, so as to avoid injuries caused by excessive exercise. However, I am just trying the effect now and have no plans to exercise formally, so I didn't apply medicated wine.
Du Ruo grabbed it for about ten minutes. When he felt his wrist beginning to swell, he stopped practicing with the tiger's mouth stick. Then he put the stone stick on the ground and grabbed the conical stone with his palm.
You don't need to use extra force to grab it, nor do you need to aim to pick it up. You only need to use three fingers to grasp the stone. The weight of the stone itself, its unique shape, and its smooth surface make it impossible to pick it up with your bare hands.
Of course, the exercises in the Natural Gate are not limited to grabbing stone spikes or iron spikes, there are also exercises such as grabbing sandbags and jars, but Du Ruo currently only needs to grab stone spikes to exercise his fingers.
The reason why it is called this name is because it can make the fingers extremely powerful. When fighting with others, as long as the fingers touch the person, it will be like glue sticking to paper and can easily stick to the person. When practiced to perfection, it can be so sticky that tendons are broken and bones are shattered.
"With my current strength, the stone rod and stone spike can still be used for the time being, but the iron rod and iron spike can also be arranged, and they should be usable soon."
Du Ruo tried the effect and felt it was quite good, but these exercises required persistent practice.
Du Ruo looked at the two tools on the ground and began to wonder whether he should move to the B&B completely.
In the future, more equipment or tools will be needed for practicing. If it happens at home, it will inevitably make parents worry. Moreover, Du Ruo may become more and more exaggerated in practice, just like Du Ruo's casual steps and breaking of branches yesterday. Yaya is ignorant and does not understand the inhumanity of it, but this does not mean that her parents can't understand it.
"Alas, the single-family houses over there are now 588 a day, and it will double in a few days. If I live there..."
The more Du Ruo thought about it, the more he felt that he was losing money. A full occupancy rate during off-peak hours was nearly 17,000 yuan, and during the peak tourist season it was more than 30,000 yuan a month. Although the accounts were not calculated that way, the loss was definitely real.
"Brother, come down to eat~"
Just when Du Ruo was still calculating how much money he would lose living in the B&B, a loud shout came from downstairs. It was Du Ruo's sister Duna, who came to pick up Yaya and take her back to town.
"Forget it, let's not think about it for now. Let's take a look after we get over there."
Some things cannot be solved just by thinking about them, so Du Ruo packed up his things and went downstairs to prepare for dinner.
... "Brother, I'll leave my car here for you to use. It's always more convenient to have a car no matter what you do."
At the dinner table, Duna asked about Du Ruo's recent situation and the business of the B&B. Finally, she took out a key from her bag and pushed it in front of Du Ruo.
"You don't want it if you give it to me?"
Du Ruo didn't refuse, but just asked back.
"I'm the only one driving this car. Your brother-in-law said he wanted to buy me a new one."
Du Na laughed as she spoke, her face full of happiness. What she cared about was not the new car, but the fact that when she proposed to let Du Ruo drive the vehicle, her husband directly offered to buy her a new car. The feeling of being pampered was what touched her the most.
"Hey, I'm not welcome then."
When Du Ruo saw Duna's smile, he immediately understood that this was a joint decision made by his sister and brother-in-law, so he no longer refused. He was used to driving outside, and it was a bit difficult for him to come back without a car. If he didn't have so many things to spend money on, he might have bought a car himself a long time ago.
"I'm not giving it to you for nothing. From now on, when you are free on Fridays, you have to go to town to pick up Yaya, and then send her back to town on the weekend."
"Okay, okay. I don't have a car, so I have to go if you ask me to pick up Yaya."
"Well, I'll give you a task first. There's an event at Yaya Kindergarten next Friday. Your brother-in-law and I are not free. You can go there then."
Du Na was very satisfied with Du Ruo's attitude. Du Ruo and she had always had a good relationship. She also doted on her younger brother, so it was natural for her to give him instructions when she had something to do.
"Yaya hasn't had her holiday yet. I see other schools have had their holidays! What activities? They're not asking me to attend a parent-teacher conference, are they?"
"It seems like the school is holding some kind of drill, and parents' cooperation is needed. Anyway, you will know the tasks assigned by the school when you go there. Yaya is still in the senior class, and the kindergarten will not be open until the end of July, so there is still a month."
Duna didn't explain the matter too clearly, and left it vague as if it wasn't something important.
"Okay, give me a call to remind me when the time comes. Yaya, how many teachers do you have? Are they pretty? Introduce them to your uncle."
Du Ruo nodded in agreement. It was just a kindergarten activity and he believed he could handle it. He took the opportunity to joke with Yaya.
"There are three teachers. Teacher Zhang has a child, and Teacher Li has a boyfriend. However, our life teacher is still single. Do you need me to help my uncle get his contact information?"
Yaya had no idea that Du Ruo was joking. Seeing that today's fish was particularly delicious, she answered very seriously.
"Brother, Yaya's life teacher is 40 years old this year. She is three years older than you and holds three gold bricks. I don't know if you can hold them."
Du Na at the side said this with a smile, and then looked at Du Ruo jokingly. She knew better than anyone that although Du Ruo seemed to be in no hurry to find a partner, he actually had very high standards, otherwise he would not be still single.
"Ahem, well, I was just kidding. You guys eat, I'll go upstairs to clean up. Sister, when you're leaving later, tell me and I'll drive you back."
When Du Ruo heard this, he quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks, picked up the car keys and prepared to go upstairs. He was afraid that his mother would take it seriously if he continued.
"No, your brother-in-law will come back to pick us up later. Yaya is going to her grandparents' house for dinner today."
Du Na waved her hand, signaling Du Ruo not to bother with them.
