Erniu and Cherries both had things to do. For a time, there was no one to take care of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Jang Wong Clan also sent Pomegranate, who had held an umbrella for her before.
In the afternoon, under the scorching sun, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were struggling to walk on the sand. Children didn't sweat much, but even so, their foreheads were glistening. The thin clothes they were wearing had been changed once, but the two still had no intention of going back to sleep.
"Pomegranate, water." Xiaobao stopped and raised his arm to wipe the sweat off his forehead. He called out to Shiliu, who was looking at him with a pained heart. Shiliu had been watching all this while. She couldn't figure out why these two children were walking back and forth on this sandy ground. Most children wouldn't be willing to do so, but if the adults forced them to do so, they would have already cried. When she heard the call, she hurriedly took the water beside her and passed it to them.
Seeing the two children drinking water with all their might, Pomegranate couldn't understand. They didn't drink tea or sugar water, but insisted on drinking salt water. She had tasted this water before, and it didn't taste good at all. When she drank it, it only felt a little fishy in the mouth. It was not salty, nor was it bland. But the little gongzi pointed out that they must drink this water. If they drank salt water, wouldn't they be more thirsty?
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't know what Pomegranate was thinking. After drinking half a bellyful of salt water, they exhaled comfortably together, stood up straight, and walked forward.
"Hold on, there are still two hundred meters left today. It's only five round trips. Just grit your teeth and it'll be over. This is a rare opportunity." Zhang Xiaobao's calves couldn't help but tremble because of walking on the sand. Their task today was to walk five hundred meters. For adults, five hundred meters was nothing, but for two children who had just turned one, it was an overload.
"I know, children don't want to exercise when they're young, and it's too late when they want to exercise when they're older. With children's bodies and adult perseverance, this is the best opportunity to exercise. I believe that if you continue to train like this, you won't have any problems jumping down from twenty meters. But I guess you won't be able to read at night. You must have no strength at all." Wang Juan also didn't feel good. She fell down while speaking, and slowly got up.
"That depends. In the future, if you're not literate and don't understand some of the allusions in a contract or something, you'll be at a disadvantage. I can still recognize most of the words and can write some of them. After all, I stayed on the island for a period of time, so I can't understand the allusions. All I think about is lying all day, so I don't have time to read those." Zhang Xiaobao grinned as he watched Wang Juan get up on her own. He didn't have any intention of helping her.
Wang Juan finally got up and held Zhang Xiaobao's hand again as they moved forward together. Her face was red from the sun, but she refused to give up and said, "Yes, I'll learn. Even if I have to lie there, I'll still learn. I was a genius back then. Oh my god, this is even more tiring than when I was in the special operations team. There's no one to give us massages and scientific guidance. Soon, we'll reach the end. There are still four and a half trips left.
"Stop dreaming. Once we get used to this intensity, we'll have to reformulate the training program. Just bear with it. If you want to show off in front of others, you'll have to suffer behind them. Who asked us to be different from others?"
Zhang Xiaobao also staggered. He loosened his grip and fell. He opened his mouth and spat out sand. He pulled Wang Juan's hand and started walking again. The two of them held hands and didn't care about each other's fall. It was only to better control their balance. If they really fell because of physical exhaustion, they didn't care about each other. The strong didn't need anyone's pity.
In a room where they could see the situation, a man and a woman stood by the window. Both of them had tears in their eyes as they watched the baby get up after falling.
"Qiao 'er, is this still my son? I heard you say that the incident with Erniu's family was caused by Xiao Bao. How old is he? Could he be a monster?" the man asked doubtfully.
"What monster? That's my son. Other people's children can't do that, but my son can. He's better than other people's children. When you see a scary place, you have to think. This is a god, not a monster. Whose child can compare to Xiao Bao? When I was pregnant with him, I knew that my future son would be different. Look at how much I could eat. I ate more than other men. "
Zhang Wong Clan retorted. These words were unreasonable. As long as it was her son, he would be better. He would fall more beautifully than other people's children. He could eat a mouthful of sand and still not cry. Whose child could do that?
The man was Zhang Xiaobao's bookworm father. He had heard a lot of strange things recently, and one of them was related to his son. So, he took some time to come over with his wife to take a look. He didn't expect to see such a scene. Not to mention a child, even an adult would hide under the blazing sun.
But reality told him that the determination of the two children was terrifying. There were a few times when he wanted to rush over, carry his son, and ask him what he was doing. But he was stopped by his wife. His wife said, "Isn't it good for the children to play?" Other people's children wouldn't move when they were told to. His children were sensible and good-looking. They walked with their legs, sometimes high and sometimes low. What was there to be afraid of if they fell? They were fine on the sand. The sand had been sifted and sifted. It was fine and wouldn't hurt anyone.
Mr. Zhang thought about what his wife said about Erniu's family earning money. He looked at the two stubborn children in front of him and felt that something was wrong. When he heard Qiao 'er's words, he sighed and said, "Aren't you afraid that these two children are possessed by something? Which family's children can be like this? Cherries was also sent out to collect new eggs. I heard that she's specifically picking them. I don't know what she's doing. If it doesn't work, we'll get a master to take a look. We can't harm our own children. "
"What monster? A monster can call me mother and call you father? Is your family's monster heart so good? This is her ability. Didn't you notice it back then? My stomach is different from other people's? " Zhang Wangshi had been in charge of the household for a long time. She was not as respectful to her husband as other people. She would say whatever was on her mind. In any case, she only had one thing in mind. Zhang Xiaobao was her biological son. If her son did well, it was the mother who gave birth to him.
"What's different? I think it's all the same. Who can eat the same amount? "Mr. Zhang felt that he couldn't communicate with his wife. As long as they talked about their son, everything was good.
"Husband, tell this concubine, which pregnant wife do you think is a good one? If she's from a poor family, we can spend money to buy her and let you look at her as much as you want. "Jang Wong Clan asked angrily.
Mr. Zhang was really afraid of his wife being like this. Other families had a few women, but his family was different. Wang Qiao 'er and the Wang family's wife from Zhuangzi joined forces to oppose him. Fortunately, he was focused on obtaining scholarly honors, so it was fine. Now that he had a son, he was fine with it. If other women really came to his house, they might not cause much trouble.
But Wang Zhuang's brother gave birth to a daughter. If the next one gave birth to a daughter, couldn't he take in a concubine? He turned to look at Wang Qiao 'er's frosty face and didn't say anything. He just sighed heavily.
This was bad. When his sigh was heard by Jang Wong Clan, her eyes immediately turned red and she began to cry. She cried and said, "When we first married, what did you say? You said that you would only be good to me. Now, it's fine if you look at someone else's wife's belly, but you actually said that my son is a monster. What did I do in my previous life? Why am I involved in this? I'm going to look for my mother-in-law. Divorce me. I'll just bring my monster son out. "
Let them be jealous. Madam, don't be angry. Look at our son. He's so good. Even the sound of him choking when drinking water is better than other children. Pomegranate, if you don't look after him and let Xiao Bao choke, I'll skin you alive. "
Mr. Zhang didn't know what to do. Madam said to divorce, but she didn't ask him to. Why did she have to look for her mother-in-law? She was clearly complaining. She was already an adult. It wasn't worth it to let his parents teach her a lesson. He happened to see Xiao Bao drinking water and wanted to praise him to divert Madam's attention. He didn't expect to see Xiao Bao choking on water. After praising him, he realized that he had vented all his anger on Pomegranate.
Needless to say, it really worked this time. When Madam Zhang heard her husband mention the child, she immediately looked over. Her tears were gone, and her sobbing stopped. Only when she saw that her son was fine did she feel relieved.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan heard the sound and turned their heads at the same time. Only then did they realize that someone was watching them. It wasn't that they weren't vigilant. If it was before they started training, they would have already heard the sound. Now, they were tired to death and their body functions were greatly reduced. Just standing up and walking was already putting in all their effort. How could they notice anything else?
"Should we conserve some of our energy for training in the future? It's too dangerous to do this. We didn't even notice that someone was watching us." Wang Juan poured water on her head to lower her temperature and asked worriedly.
"There's no need for that. This is not watching, this is caring. My parents are watching us. Why should we be vigilant? Who should we be vigilant of in our own yard? Not to mention that there won't be any danger. Even if a few people with knives suddenly rushed in to kill us, do you have a way to avoid them? Hurry up and train, there are still three and a half more. "Zhang Xiaobao still had the mood to wave his small hands at his parents. He turned around and moved forward.
"Okay, even if I have to crawl, I will finish this distance." Wang Juan and Weiwei closed their eyes and relaxed their muscles except for their legs. They swayed as they followed.
Zhang Xiaobao's father and Jang Wong Clan saw their son waving his hands. His dirty little face made them want to laugh, but they couldn't. Looking at the few feet of sand, they both knew that their son was challenging his body's limits.
"Madam, you're right. No child can compare to Xiao Bao and Cuckoo. They're so hard on themselves at such a young age, they'll definitely be even better when they grow up." Zhang Xiaobao's father sighed.
