They were too young, so Yuan Chun didn’t explain much and just demonstrated a set of boxing moves she knew.
Of course, Yuan Chun only showed them a set first. The first step they needed to learn was the horse stance.
A few children started practicing the horse stance in the courtyard. In early summer, there were many mosquitoes, so Yuan Chun lit mosquito-repellent incense at their feet. After one stick of incense burned out, the younger Sanqiang and Ya Ya couldn’t hold on anymore. Their calves were trembling a bit, but the two children puffed their cheeks and gritted their teeth to persist.
Yuan Chun rubbed her daughter and younger child’s head and said, "If you can’t hold on, you can take a break, don’t force yourself."
"Mom, I can do it. You said it should be two hours, and it’s not time yet." Ya Ya said, her little face flushed red. freёwebnoѵel.com
Yuan Chun: "It’s the first day today. You and Sanqiang will practice for twenty minutes first, and then thirty minutes tomorrow, step by step."
Then she looked at her two older sons, "Da Qiang and Erqiang, thirty minutes for the first day, then increase by ten minutes each day."
"Mom, I think I can hold the stance for an hour on the first day." Da Qiang said, unwilling to admit defeat.
"Alright, but don’t force yourself. You are still growing, and you can’t damage your health just to learn boxing, that would be pointless."
Da Qiang paused for a moment and then changed his mind, "Then I’ll listen to you, Mom, and practice for half an hour."
On the first day, Yuan Chun didn’t make the children endure too much; she let them stop when it was enough.
After four or five days, as the children gradually got used to it, Yuan Chun started making them punch sandbags after the horse stance, run in the courtyard with sandbags tied to their legs.
Also doing weighted frog jumps, crawling, practicing in pairs...
The Mei Family’s large front yard was turned into a small training base by Yuan Chun, and she applied some training methods from the department to the children’s training.
The children’s hard work paid off. Three months later, the four children were obviously much stronger and taller.
However, because the children’s training consumed a lot of energy, their food intake doubled. Since teenage boys already eat a lot, the children’s appetite was even greater than ordinary people. Yuan Chun had to cook a large pot of rice just to satisfy their hunger.
Yuan Chun secretly took out grains from her space twice, and they were consumed completely by the children.
One day, when the home was out of food again, Yuan Chun pulled her newly made cart and went to the town market to buy groceries.
Yes, the market.
The town opened a market last month.
Villagers brought homemade linen, baskets, and cages to sell, along with chickens, ducks, geese, eggs, fish, and vegetables from their gardens.
There were also some city people bringing flawed goods to the market to sell.
Yuan Chun bought a slightly flawed thermos, the outer shell was a bit damaged, but it was still usable. She also bought a green water kettle with chipped paint.
Bought a bundle of linen.
A few pieces of flawed fabric.
What made Yuan Chun happy was that she managed to buy cotton at the market. It was September, and the weather was getting cooler. Yuan Chun bought twenty pounds of cotton, planning to make a few quilts when she got back.
The new grain hadn’t come in yet, but Yuan Chun bought sixty pounds of sweet potatoes, thirty pounds of potatoes, fifty pounds of millet, fifty pounds of sorghum, and fifty pounds of cornmeal. ƒrēewebnovel.com
All were coarse grains.
However, Yuan Chun had rice in her space. When she returned, she secretly took out a few bags of rice and mixed it with the coarse grains to eat together.
"Xiao Hong, you little brat, what are you looking at."
A familiar but distant voice came from afar.
