Chapter 226: Reunion of Master and Disciple
The person trying to mediate was seen as causing trouble. Xie Xinlian, standing nearby, was speechless.
Zhu Yanyi giggled, looking at Xie Xinlian’s expression. “Mom, your daughter is very sweet. I don’t eat snacks often. Besides, the things at Dad’s factory are actually quite tasty. Hot cakes, mint cakes, peach crisps, twisted dough sticks—I like them all. Anyway, when I go there, I eat whatever they make.”
Zhang Haifeng said from the side, “Girls shouldn’t eat too many snacks. It’s bad for you. You’ll get fat.” Although Zhang Haifeng meant well, his tone sounded deliberate.
Zhu Yanyi was speechless. She glared at Zhang Haifeng. “Don’t you know I’m only eleven? I’m still growing. I need to eat more to grow taller. I’m not eating your food, so why are you so stingy?” Then she turned to Yan Aohan. “Brother Yan, did you know she was so stingy?”
“I didn’t know,” Yan Aohan said, his handsome eyes scanning Zhang Haifeng. “He is quite generous in front of me.”
Zhu Yanyi’s heart moved. She smiled strangely. “I read a gossip book that says a man who buys things generously for women is a good man. So, what is a man who is generous to other men?” She finished with a funny face.
Yan Aohan and Zhang Haifeng both twitched. Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi, laughing and crying at the same time. “Too naughty. You’ll get beaten.” She lightly tapped Zhu Yanyi’s head with her finger.
Zhu Yanyi stuck out her tongue and giggled. Just then, she saw authentic candied haws nearby. She went over, bought a few strings, and brought them back to share.
The night market was huge. They didn’t finish exploring it. They only walked half of it before heading back. After all, they would stay in the capital for a long time, so there was no rush.
The next day, Zhang Haifeng took Zhu Shun Yao and the others out for a trip. Zhu Yanyi, however, went alone to visit Elder Chun as agreed. Elder Chun currently trained martial arts for some people, especially soldiers, researching improvements to military boxing. Hearing that her disciple had arrived, she specially cleared her schedule.
“Grandpa Chun.” Zhu Yanyi rushed forward as soon as she saw Elder Chun. It had been five years, but Zhu Yanyi was still as clingy as before.
“Let Grandpa Chun see if our little Ani has grown up.” Elder Chun’s face was full of smiles. The guards behind him looked surprised. Elder Chun was a national treasure, a reformer of martial arts. He rarely met people casually. Unexpectedly, today he not only waited specially but was also so kind.
“Have you missed Grandpa Chun these years?” Elder Chun asked, his eyes revealing his thoughts.
“Yes, I have.” Zhu Yanyi nodded seriously, following her words. “I missed Grandpa Chun, Grandpa Zhan, Grandma Xu, Grandpa Yao, Grandpa Zhang, Grandma Chang, Grandma Li, and Grandpa Zhihui.” Then she pouted. “Grandpa Zhihui went to Tibet. Next time I go to Tibet, I must extort her.”
“That’s right. Your Grandpa Zhihui is the worst. Extort her next time.” Elder Chun was very satisfied with Zhu Yanyi’s words. She smiled and said, “Come, Ani girl. Change your clothes. Grandpa Chun wants to see if you’ve neglected your martial arts these years.”
“Don’t worry, Grandpa Chun. How could I neglect martial arts? I am your final disciple. If I neglected it, it would shame not only me but also you. I wouldn’t do that.” Zhu Yanyi smiled and followed Elder Chun inside.
