An auntie smiled and said, “Qingzhi, no problem. Leave it to us.”

Chu Qingzhi promised everyone that they would be paid for their work at night. Everyone was very willing to work.

Chu Qingzhi smiled widely. “Thank you, Auntie.”

Li Qingyu said with concern, “Qingzhi, you’ve been busy outside for the entire day. Go and rest for a while.”

Chu Qingzhi did not refuse. When she entered the kitchen, it was already very crowded. “Mother, then I’ll go out.”

Li Qingyu smiled and nodded. “Go.”

Chu Qingzhi did not rest. She left the house and walked towards Chu Xuhua’s new house next door.

After An Shanwu finished building the beer workshop, he immediately threw himself into building Chu Xuhua’s house. She wanted to check on the progress.

On the way, Chu Qingzhi bumped into Shen Ruyue, who had sent Tan Mengyang away and was walking back. “Ruyue.”

Shen Ruyue quickly walked towards Chu Qingzhi with a bright face. “Qingzhi, where are you going?”

Chu Qingzhi pointed to the side. “I’m going to take a look at Big Brother’s new house. Ruyue, let’s go together. If there’s anything you don’t like, we can modify it.”

“Okay.” After they got married, this would be her and Xuhua’s house. Thinking of this, Shen Ruyue couldn’t help but blush and nod.

The two girls walked side by side towards the new house…

Chu Xuhua’s house was not as big as the new house, but the layout was similar. There were four rooms upstairs, and each room was very spacious.

There would definitely be more than two people living in the house in the future. The rooms were empty now. When they had children, these rooms would be occupied.

The first floor was being renovated. The materials were of excellent quality. It looked very cozy.

As for the furniture, the larger pieces had already been ordered in the shop. They would be transported over as soon as the renovation was over.

Chu Rong also made some furniture for them. For example, he made them a long table, but it was as big as the one in the new house, just enough to seat ten people.

Chu Rong’s carpentry skills were good, and the furniture he made was exquisite. Everyone liked it very much.

The central room, room, dining room, and kitchen were all completed. However, they had only painted the walls and laid the floor tiles. The stove had yet to be built.

It looked like the renovation would be completed in three days. There were more than 30 people working here, and they could do a lot of work in a day.

The wedding was on the 25th of August. There was still plenty of time. When Shen Ruyue and Chu Xuhua got married, the wedding venue would be in their new house.

“Ruyue, how is it? Are you satisfied?” Chu Qingzhi asked teasingly.

Shen Ruyue smiled shyly. “I’m satisfied. Such a beautiful house makes it hard to not like it.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and pointed outside. “You can also buy some flowers and plants to plant in the courtyard outside. You can also plant a few fruit trees at the edge. It will definitely be beautiful.”

Shen Ruyue nodded happily.

After looking at the house and not feeling that there was anything wrong, the two of them went back.

Chu Xuyuan was doing his homework at the table. When he saw Ge Lihua go downstairs, he immediately put down his pen and went up to her. “Master, when are we going to have the master-disciple ceremony?”

Ge Lihua looked at her new disciple and smiled. “How about now?”

Chu Xuyuan said enthusiastically, “Then please take a seat, Master. Let’s go make tea.”

When they heard that their children were going to become disciples, the Chu family came to the central room. This concerned the future of the children. It was a huge matter. Everyone took it seriously.

Chu Qingyan, Chu Xuyuan, and Chu Xuyao personally made tea. They carried it over and knelt in front of Ge Lihua.

Ge Lihua sat down and glanced at her three disciples. She was very satisfied. Then, she took their teacups one by one and took a sip.

“After 1 drink the tea, you will be my disciples in the future. I can’t say that my martial arts are very, very good, but 1 will do my best to teach you.”

“Master, please accept me as your disciple.” The three children kowtowed. Ge Lihua helped them up one by one.

“Wait a minute.” Chu Xujin rushed down from upstairs and said loudly, “I want to be your disciple too!”

Ge Lihua looked at Chu Xujin and said pertinently, “Your bone structure is already fully developed. You’re not suitable to learn martial arts.”

Chu Xujin was a little disappointed, but he still insisted. “I can practice twice as hard.”

Ge Lihua shook her head gently.

Chu Qingzhi coughed softly. “Third Brother, if you become a disciple, you will have to respect your master for the rest of your life.”

In this era, there was no such thing as a disciple-master romantic relationship. A master was an elder. If he became Ge Lihua’s disciple, they would not be able to develop in a romantic way.

Chu Xujin came back to his senses. That’s right. After becoming Ge Lihua’s disciple, he could only respect her and not have any other thoughts. “Forget it. You guys continue.”

After saying that, he quickly ran away, feeling a little embarrassed.

Ge Lihua’s gaze followed Chu Xujin’s back. Her gaze was very calm, and no one could tell what she was thinking.

Chu Xuyuan raised his head and looked at Ge Lihua. His eyes were bright like a clear spring under the moonlight. “Master, when can we become as powerful as you?”

Ge Lihua smiled. “That depends on your talent. If you’re talented and hardworking, you’ll be able to achieve something in a year at most. You’ll be able to learn everything from me in three to five years.”

Chu Qingyan went forward and held Ge Lihua’s hand. She asked expectantly, “Master, when are we going to start learning martial arts?”

Ge Lihua lowered her head and looked at her three disciples. “We’ll start learning after dinner. You guys go and write your homework first. I’ll go make a plan. Then, we’ll follow the plan.”

Chu Qingyan clenched her fists and encouraged herself. “Master, I will definitely work hard.”

Ge Lihua suddenly felt like an elder. She patted Chu Qingyan’s head and said, “Alright, I’ll do my best to teach you.”

After dinner, Ge Lihua brought her three disciples to the courtyard.

The courtyard was paved with limestone. The path was very wide, and it was very flat. The environment was good, and it was a good place to practice martial arts.

Everyone was curious and stood on the balcony on the second floor to watch.

In the courtyard, Ge Lihua held a ruler, looking very serious.

The three disciples lined up and looked at their master seriously.

Ge Lihua stared at her three disciples and said solemnly, “We’ll start practicing the basic skills now. The basic skills include shoulder, arm, leg, hand, step, and jump practice. This is the most important step.”

“The first step is to practice leg stretching.”

The three children were very short. Ge Lihua found a one-meter-tall wooden stake and asked her three disciples to put their legs on it to practice.

“At first, it will hurt when you stretch your leg, but when your muscles and bones become flexible, it will be very easy.”

The three children did not hesitate and immediately began to practice..
