"Uncle Asheng! I succeeded! I really succeeded..."

seaside.

A half-aged boy ran happily on the beach with his forehand dance, and his mouth kept making excitement, which instantly attracted countless seabirds foraging around him to flew away.

"Is that so? Then you are great!"

After a while, the half-grown boy stopped panting, and at the same time bent down and supported his hands on his knees. The sweat on his face kept dripping like rain, and soon wet a piece of sand beneath him.

With a gentle sound, a big hand suddenly landed on the head of the boy and rubbed it casually for a few times.

"Uncle Asheng, I said, I really succeeded..."

The half-baby slapped off the big hand that was ravaging his hair on his head without hesitation, and then deliberately put his hands beside his mouth and shouted at the person in front of him.

"I understand. I'm not the descendant of deafness. Why are you yelling so loudly?!"

The person in front of him reached out to clean his ears, and looked at the sea in the distance lazily.

"And I said Xiaoyu, you are fourteen years old this year, right? Why do you make yourself look like a boy all day long? If you continue like this, how can you get married in the future..."

"Ahhhhh! Uncle Asheng, don't say anything more! Did my mother ask you to persuade me again?!"

The old man named Xiaoyu immediately pouted and turned his head and snorted.

"Anyway, I don't care, I just like this! I don't care about getting married or something!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, your father died early, otherwise you should give birth to a few more brothers for your mother, so you don't have such hard work."

The person in front of him shook his head and sighed.

"Who said that women are inferior to men? Uncle Asheng! Don't forget, you taught me this sentence!"

The little fish's bronze-colored, healthy and energetic bright face suddenly showed dissatisfaction.

"Yes, yes, I also said that women can hold half of the sky, but I regret saying these things to you now. Look at how worried your mother is now."

The person in front of him gradually turned around and looked helplessly at the little fish with a messy short black hair that was wet with sweat. She was barely tall enough to her shoulders, and she looked like a tomboy.

"Uncle Asheng, it's useless to regret it now. I just like my current appearance. Uncle Asheng told me that during the martial arts competition and assessment in the city today, when I saw those boys who were afraid and afraid of me, you don't know how happy I was!"

Xiaoyu hummed with a proud look on his face.

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have taught you martial arts at the beginning. Look at how you have caused all the boys to be in trouble now. They always fight with others. I heard that the boy from the Laogu family said something bad about you last month, but you beat someone up on the wall, and finally your mother went to the other person's house to apologize..."

The person in front of him was not angrily speaking.

"Hmph! That was what Gu Yong asked for! It doesn't matter if he said bad things about me, but he couldn't say bad things about my mother! If it weren't for the performance and assessment this month, I wouldn't beat him up for half a year and couldn't get out of bed!"

The little fish gritted her teeth.

"If you hit, just hit it. I didn't say I won't let you hit it. But next time I hit someone like this, I'll put a sack on someone! At least I won't let others know that you hit it, otherwise you'll always ask your mother to apologize to others, wouldn't you feel embarrassed?"

The person in front of him gave Xiaoyu a sudden thunder.

"Ouch!" Xiaoyu whined in pain and covered her head. "Uncle Asheng, I know I'm wrong. I will definitely use the method you taught me next time I hit someone."

"... Forget it, I'm getting more and more unable to control you kid now."

The person in front of him said speechlessly.

"Uncle Asheng, don't say that. Xiaoyu will always rely on Uncle Asheng in the future..."

When Xiaoyu heard this, he quickly pulled the sleeve in front of him and shook it and said coquettishly.

"Huh... don't talk to me in this tone suddenly, it's so cunning."

The person in front of him shivered instantly and quickly shook Xiaoyu's hand holding her sleeve.

"Uncle Asheng, you are dead!"

Said.

Xiaoyu raised his leg and kicked the person in front of him with anger.

"Have you told your mother about the successful assessment?"

The person in front of him didn't care about Xiaoyu's itchy kick, and seemed to have changed the subject inadvertently.

"Ah? This one hasn't..."

Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then pulled the life in front of him and turned around and left.

"Uncle Asheng, let's go back together and tell my mother the good news."

"Little Fish, Xiao Yu, do you think your little thoughts can be hidden from me? Do you want me to persuade your mother to leave together?"

The person in front of him let Xiaoyu pull him forward, and at the same time he said casually.

"...Uncle Asheng, it turns out you know it."

When Xiaoyu heard this, she slowly spread her hands. She hung her head and kicked the sand on the ground without any effort.

"How could I not know?"

The person in front of him reached out and rubbed the little fish's wet hair and said softly.

"You are a filial child. You have always wanted your mother to live a better life, and you also look forward to the outside world. So you have been practicing martial arts hard over the years, with the purpose of taking your mother away from this country island...

But your mother is different. Compared to you who are unrestrained, your mother seems more traditional and conservative. In addition, she has lived here for decades. Although the conditions in all aspects are relatively simple, she can at least be considered as having no worries about food and clothing. Now her biggest wish is to find a good husband and live her life safely."

"Uncle Asheng, all these little fish know..." Xiaoyu whispered. "But I'm not willing to give up..."

"Don't you be willing to waste your whole life?"

The humanity in front of you.

"Yes."

Xiaoyu raised his head and looked firmly at the middle-aged man who had a gray hair before he was old and said.

"Uncle Asheng, do you still remember Xiuxiu?"

"I remember, when I was little, you two were best friends."

The white-haired middle-aged man nodded.

"A year ago, Sister Xiuxiu got married and married the son of a farmer in the north." Xiaoyu murmured with a complicated expression. "Later, I went to find Sister Xiuxiu several times, and then found that Sister Xiuxiu was no longer the Sister Xiuxiu I remember. She has changed, she has become no longer laughing, has become haggard, and has become silent..."

"I thought it was the farmer's son who bullied Sister Xiuxiu and planned to settle the score with the other party! But Sister Xiuxiu stopped me and even drove me away. Later I realized that Sister Xiuxiu became very busy after getting married, busy taking care of her husband and in-laws, busy going to the fields to weave cloth, busy taking care of the trivial matters at home, and couldn't stop all day long..."

"So you don't want to be the second Xiuxiu, right?"

The white-haired middle-aged man said in a plain voice.

"Yes, I don't want to!" Xiaoyu said with a light biting her lip. "Because this is not the life I want."

"If you ask me if I support your choice, of course I support it. The problem is that my support is useless."

The white-haired middle-aged man shook his head and said.

"But Uncle Asheng can help Xiaoyu persuade his mother. If it were Uncle Asheng, his mother would definitely agree."

Xiaoyu stared at the white-haired middle-aged man with hope.

"...Xiaoyu, this time Uncle Asheng may be disappointing you, because this is a matter between you mother and daughter, and it is difficult for me, an outsider, to participate in it."

The white-haired middle-aged man was silent for a moment.

"How could Uncle Asheng be an outsider? If it weren't for Uncle Asheng's care over the years, Xiaoyu and his mother would probably not be able to live safely until now..."

Xiaoyu said with a little excitement.

"Xiaoyu, taking care of you is what I should have done. After all, your father saved my life back then, and after your father went to sea, I have the responsibility to take care of you, widowed and daughter, but one code is the same. Although I can indeed convince your mother, I don't want to do this."

The gray-haired middle-aged man said slowly.

"...Uncle Asheng, Xiaoyu knows, Xiaoyu will no longer make things difficult for Uncle Asheng."

The little fish twitched his nose, turned around and left in a low mood.

"Forget it, I'll go back with you. At least if I'm here, you mother and daughter will be more restrained in their conversations, so as not to let the neighbors laugh at each other again."

The white-haired middle-aged man walked to Xiaoyu in two or three steps and said without looking back.

"Uncle Asheng, Xiaoyu has caused you trouble again."

Xiaoyu immediately turned sad to joy, stepped forward and pulled the white-haired middle-aged sleeves and shook them.

"This damn girl, don't always use these tricks on your uncle in the future. Do you think I don't know that you just want to pull my uncle to be a shield?"

The gray-haired middle-aged man pushed Xiaoyu's head casually.

"Hehe, Uncle Asheng, isn't Xiaoyu helpless?"

As soon as he pushed it away, Xiaoyu immediately put it on again and said with a smile on his face.

"Do you know Uncle Asheng? Xiaoyu is the first to take the lead in this Tianmen competition selection and assessment!"

"Yes, yes, Zhou Xiaoyu is the best."

The tone of the white-haired middle-aged man said without any emotion.

"Of course, I don't see who taught me!"
