Heavenly Blessed Baby: Fleeing Famine, Busy to Prosper!-Chapter 252: So Embarrassing

Liu Qinghe looked from afar at those who were working and saw they were all very industrious; not a single one was lazy, and he felt relieved.

He was really afraid someone would cause trouble, making Qi Quanjin misunderstand that he wasn’t doing his best to help, which would be problematic.

That evening, Liu Qinghe had a homely meal with the Qi Family.

He initially thought it would be divided into male and female tables, but then saw it was just one big table, with no gender separation, and even the children were sitting at the table.

Liu Qinghe was secretly amazed and even felt that the Qi Family truly were villagers who seemed not to understand the importance of gender segregation.

But for the Qi Family, this was not an issue at all.

The Qi Family’s tradition was spoiling the wives intensely, so eating separately was absolutely impossible.

In the past, even though the family ate separately, it was divided by the households.

The eldest, second, and third families sat together with the patriarch and matriarch.

The rest sat at another table.

This division was because the table was not big enough to accommodate everyone, so they had to separate.

Ever since buying the two-courtyard house and having such a big table, the family has never eaten at separate tables again.

With a new house and such a big hall, Qi Zheng even directly ordered a large round table to be made.

There were no rules saying you couldn’t talk at the table; everyone talked about what happened today.

Though today’s conversation was affected somewhat.

Even though everyone was familiar with Liu Qinghe, they were more restrained and didn’t discuss every trivial matter.

After the meal, Liu Qinghe accompanied Qi Dalang to the bathroom to take a shower.

After some grooming, he felt refreshed all over.

Returning to the room prepared for him, lying down and feeling the gentle breeze brought by the cross-ventilation, Liu Qinghe quickly fell asleep, feeling no discomfort from sleeping away from home.

The next morning, Liu Qinghe was awakened by a series of shouting sounds.

He went to the northern window to look and saw the Qi Family boys, along with that little girl, seriously squatting in horse stance, shouting as they punched. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

It seemed quite amusing.

There was a water basin and a pig bristle toothbrush with salt at the stove by the door.

After grooming, Liu Qinghe emptied the water before heading to the backyard.

The children were still practicing their martial arts with energy, led by Qi Sangui.

When Qi Sangui was in his teens, he worked at an escort agency, learning some simple moves and was now teaching the children.

Seeing Liu Qinghe coming, Qi Sangui hurriedly stepped forward, clasping his fist wanting to salute.

"No need for that."

Liu Qinghe quickly stopped him, smiling as he asked, "Are you practicing martial arts with the children?"

"Just exercising."

Qi Sangui was naturally taciturn, but the other party was a government official and a guest, so he couldn’t say nothing.

"It’s good."

Liu Qinghe nodded approvingly.

Seeing Qi Shilang swaying, unable to hold his squat, Liu Qinghe stepped forward, squatted in front of him, and corrected his horse stance with his hands.

Qi Sangui didn’t say much and continued correcting the postures of the other children.

When he got to Qi Manman, Liu Qinghe couldn’t help but click his tongue twice, "Little Manbao is quite skilled, squatting in horse stance so well!"

As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up.

Usually, Qi Manman chuckled when praised, but this time she kept a straight face and said seriously, "Uncle Liu, don’t praise me!"

"Ah? You’ve done so well, why not let Uncle praise you?"

Liu Qinghe was puzzled.

Usually, when praised, this little girl didn’t react this way!

Qi Manman snorted and said, "When people praise me I want to laugh, and if I laugh I can’t hold my horse stance!"

"Ah, I see! Hahaha!"

Liu Qinghe was amused, "Alright, alright, Uncle won’t praise you now, focus on your horse stance, Manbao!"

"Mmm!"

The little girl said, unable to resist breathing a sigh of relief.

She almost laughed out loud just now.

But because she relaxed, her small stature couldn’t keep steady, wobbling and nearly sitting on the ground.

Fortunately, Liu Qinghe reacted quickly and supported the little girl’s back.

Qi Manman was genuinely anxious now, "Uncle Liu, see, it’s your fault! Manbao almost fell!"

"It’s Uncle’s fault, Uncle did wrong, let me squat in horse stance with you, okay?"

Liu Qinghe said as he really squatted in horse stance beside Qi Manman.

Qi Manman watched as the tall and sturdy Uncle Liu proficiently squatted in horse stance, with her mouth wide open.

Her big eyes blinked several times before she said, "Uncle, you are so old but you can still squat in horse stance?"

These words almost made Liu Qinghe lose his balance and fall.

Fortunately, he adjusted quickly and squatted back properly, "Uncle started squatting in horse stance at a young age, I’ve been doing it for decades, so of course I can."

Qi Manman nodded in understanding.

Liu Qinghe thought the little girl would seriously squat now, but suddenly heard her shouting to Qi Sangui, "Third Uncle, Third Uncle, Manbao doesn’t want to squat in horse stance anymore!"

Though Qi Sangui didn’t come over, he kept his attention on this side.

Upon hearing this, he hurriedly rushed over, "Manbao, what’s wrong?"

Qi Manman straightened up, pointing a chubby finger at Liu Qinghe nearby and said, "Uncle Liu is so old and can only squat in horse stance, can’t do anything else. Manbao doesn’t want to squat, don’t want to be like him at this age only able to squat!"

"Pfft!"

Qi Sangui couldn’t help but laugh.

And Liu Qinghe was finally stimulated enough to lose balance, falling directly to sit on the ground.

"See, see, squatting in horse stance for all these decades and still falling. Third Uncle, Manbao doesn’t want to learn horse stance, what if I grow up still falling, that’s too embarrassing!"

The little girl finished speaking and ran back into the house.

Falling down is so embarrassing, she doesn’t want that!

Qi Sangui hastily held back his laughter, reached out and helped Liu Qinghe up.

"Brother Liu, sorry about that, kids don’t understand, please don’t be mad."

Qi Sangui’s thoughts were all about excusing his little niece.

Liu Qinghe, his face reddened, waved his hand, "Why be mad, little girl wasn’t wrong, it is embarrassing to fall at my age."

It was indeed embarrassing, the little girl ran away, and the other boys were winking at each other, holding back laughter.

Qi Sangui wanted to laugh too, but he dared not!

"Um, Brother Liu, maybe you should go see the fourth brother!"

Qi Sangui felt that today’s exercise couldn’t go on.

Liu Qinghe, flushed, waved his hand and went towards the front yard.

Alas, this commotion, it’s really embarrassing.

Liu Qinghe always felt he was in good shape, practicing hands every morning as long as there was no particular business.

But today, practice had lost him face completely.

However, his nature was always cheerful, so he wasn’t bothered by the Qi Family kids’ teasing.
