Chapter 357: Chapter 357: You Learn Everything After Just One Lesson?_1

Xiao Changyi’s sudden remark caught Wang Youbao off guard, and after a moment of surprise, he quickly nodded and said, "I can! I was still practicing last night, I’ve never stopped!"

When Wang Youbao said this, he was very much hoping to receive Xiao Changyi’s praise.

But Xiao Changyi didn’t praise him at all, busying himself with his hoe in the earth, and didn’t even glance his way...

Wang Youbao felt very frustrated.

An Jing found it even more amusing, "Okay, you can go back now. We’re very busy at home right now and can’t keep you for a meal. Come back in five days. Once you’ve learned the stick techniques taught by my husband, I’ll teach you the moves of the second set of military physical boxing."

The second set of military physical boxing instantly ’healed’ Wang Youbao, and he nodded eagerly, "Yes, yes, yes!"

After Wang Youbao had left, An Jing asked Xiao Changyi, "Husband, I’ve never asked you before, who taught you martial arts? Uncle Liu doesn’t know martial arts, does he?"

So, she believed that his skills definitely were not taught by Old Hunter Liu.

Xiao Changyi responded indifferently, "It wasn’t Uncle Liu. He only taught me hunting. I learned in the military camp."

After a pause, he elaborated, "When I first joined the military camp, like the other soldiers, we trained every day on the training ground, ready to go to war with the enemy at any moment. Some of the officers there were very temperamental and would break into fights over a single word. We ordinary soldiers would stand by and watch. Those officers were all skilled in martial arts, I would remember their movements after seeing them and then practice on my own. Later on, the old man arranged for General Meng Zhan and other generals to teach me quite a bit."

An Jing immediately followed up, "And you could learn everything on the first try?"

Xiao Changyi nodded, "Hmm."

An Jing paused and then asked with a smile, "Husband, is there anything you need to learn many times to master?"

Xiao Changyi was honest, "Cooking."

The smile on An Jing’s face grew larger as she knowingly asked, "Who do you cook for?"

Xiao Changyi immediately stopped his work, leaned in close, affectionately rubbing his forehead against hers, and whispered one word, "You."

An Jing’s heart instantly felt incredibly sweet.

...

To deal with Princess Linghe, An Jing had deliberately slowed down the planting of the sweet potatoes. Now that Princess Linghe had left, An Jing and Xiao Changyi naturally sped up the process.

In just about a day’s time, An Jing and Xiao Changyi had finished planting sweet potatoes in an acre and a half.

After planting the sweet potatoes, An Jing and Xiao Changyi started to work on the vegetable garden in the yard. This garden was much smaller than the one they had at the thatched cottage, but it was enough for An Jing and Xiao Changyi to eat from.

Last year, An Jing had planned to clear a dozen acres of land, but because they had bought three acres from Wang Youbao and now had fourteen acres in total, it was enough to support her and her husband with some to spare. Therefore, An Jing decided not to clear more land.

And Xiao Changyi had no objections.

After preparing the vegetable garden and planting the vegetables, it had been two days, and An Jing and Xiao Changyi finally had some leisure time.

With leisure at hand, An Jing and Xiao Changyi did nothing and took a good rest for a day.

The weather today was cool, the sun not too scorching, so An Jing and Xiao Changyi both sat in the yard, resting and chatting.

However, it seemed that Xiao Changyi couldn’t sit still for long, and after a short while, he went to pick a lot of narrow grass leaves and brought them back.

"What are you doing?" An Jing asked with a puzzled smile.

Xiao Changyi didn’t immediately tell An Jing the answer, only saying, "You’ll know in a moment."

Then, sitting next to An Jing, Xiao Changyi first cast her a glance with a hooked corner of his lips and then lowered his eyes to pick up a grass leaf and started weaving. An Jing, seeing this, knew at once what Xiao Changyi was about to make.
