Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 265: Pork Rib and Radish Soup

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Day.

Tuanzi got up early in the morning, suppressed her excitement, and obediently went to the yard to practice her morning exercises.

Winter in Jiang City is damp and cold, even Tuanzi, with her Inner Strength protecting her, couldn’t help shivering.

"Finish practicing early and go back to warm up sooner."

Tuanzi moved her little arms and short legs, mumbling, "It would be great to have an indoor practice space."

[Ancient Martial System: Didn’t your big brother clear out a room especially for this? He’s already turned it into a martial arts practice area.]

Tuanzi puffed her cheeks and shook her head.

[Miaomiao: That room is too fragile. If I accidentally let out a palm wind with full strength, the walls would come crashing down.]

The system understood, the host wanted an indoor space she could destroy at will. But considering the host’s Inner Strength and skills, she’d better not count on it. Modern buildings simply can’t withstand her destructive power.

After practicing for almost ten minutes, there was some commotion at the gate of the yard.

She looked over expectantly and saw that her second uncle, second aunt, and Gu Wangchao had all come.

Gu Wangchao and Mu Xue had a remarkably similar cold demeanor.

Tuanzi held her little face and gazed for a few more seconds, then ran to open the door.

"Good morning!" She was always so full of energy.

"We came early to help prepare the ingredients."

After exchanging greetings, the two elders went inside the house. Gu Wangchao stayed back; seeing her sweating in the cold wind, he was a bit worried, "Won’t you catch a cold like this? It’s better to practice indoors in the future."

"There’s no need, Miaomiao is used to it."

Tuanzi scratched her cheek, "Miaomiao used to practice like this all the time."

Back in ancient times, she learned martial arts with her master on the Mountain, the conditions were even worse, and she persisted through it all.

The master said that in order to succeed in martial arts, one must persevere and not fear hardship.

Gu Wangchao couldn’t help but show admiration, he raised the soup dumplings in his hand, "Just bought these, want to try some?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Tuanzi was torn between practicing martial arts and eating the soup dumplings.

Martial arts require perseverance, but when soup dumplings get cold, they don’t taste as good. Reheating them also ruins the texture. Most important of all, the soup dumplings were emitting a fragrant aroma, seemingly saying, ’Come and eat me!’

The little girl gulped and shook her head, "No, Wangchao, you go inside and rest first, Miaomiao needs to finish practicing."

She turned her head, stretching out her little paws to block him, "Hurry up and go inside."

Stop tempting her with food!

Gu Wangchao could only head inside.

Tuanzi watched him go inside with a pitiful expression, then turned around and continued practicing, with more intensity than before.

[Ancient Martial System: How do you have so much energy without eating anything?]

[Miaomiao: This is called turning grief into strength, Miaomiao has to practice faster, the soup dumplings are still waiting for her!]

However, it wasn’t long before the third uncle’s family arrived.

This family was complete; third uncle and third aunt were also here to help prepare the ingredients and cook. Gu Mo was tricked by Gu Chi to come, saying that Gu Wangchao was planning to write a song about time and space, and he wanted some advice.

As for Gu Chi, he brought a pot of radish pork rib soup.

"It’s been simmering since last night, each of us had a bowl this morning, do you want to try some now? There’s a while until lunch."

Tuanzi stared at the insulated pot with a pitiful look, "Miaomiao hasn’t had breakfast yet."

She usually eats after finishing her morning exercises and had no idea what her big brother would make this morning.

"Do you want some?"

Gu Chi lifted the insulated pot, "The radishes are very soft and tender."

Tuanzi swallowed her saliva.

"No," she turned away in distress, first covering her mouth and then her nose, "No, you go inside, quickly, quickly!"

Gu Chi left, looking regretful.

Tuanzi pouted dejectedly for a few seconds before continuing to practice.

In less than five minutes, more people arrived outside the yard, surprisingly, it was the little uncle’s family.

Gu Yu still looked as impressive as ever, with an aura that commanded respect without anger. Standing slightly ahead, Gu Qize and Gu Yunmu stood side by side, with completely different temperaments.

"Qize, Yun Mu, little uncle!"

Tuanzi ran over to greet them.

She was quite surprised, "Qize isn’t very busy?"

Without waiting for Gu Qize to answer, she looked at Gu Yu, "Even little uncle came."

She thought that her little uncle was both busy and angry with what she said earlier and wouldn’t come.

Moreover, she had heard others say that Gu Yu didn’t like to return to Jiang City, yet here he was, which touched her a bit.

Gu Yu looked indifferent but didn’t say anything. After exchanging greetings, he went inside.

Gu Qize saw her little red face and frowned, "Practicing indoors is better."

"You said the same thing as Wangchao," Tuanzi grumbled, "Miaomiao is afraid of damaging the house!"

She intentionally teased this cousin, showing her fist, "Want to give it a try?"

Gu Qize was helpless, knowing his sister wouldn’t actually attack, but feeling that her lively personality was somewhat similar to their younger brother’s.

Someone had already come up, like a big dog wagging its tail exuberantly upon seeing its owner.

"Miaomiao, long time no see, did you miss me?"

Gu Yunmu was almost pressing close.

Tuanzi promptly stretched out her little paw to stop him.

"Miaomiao is all sweaty, no getting close."

The handsome blue-haired guy was unconcerned, "It doesn’t matter, I don’t mind you."

Tuanzi zoomed away, not speaking, but showing through her actions, ’But I kind of mind you!’

Someone still couldn’t read the room, indulging in self-delusion, "Miaomiao must like me so much! She sweat so much and took the initiative to avoid me."

"You’re the one who’s smelly!"

Tuanzi got angry, growling with her little milk voice, "Miaomiao clearly smells nice!"

Gu Yunmu beckoned, "Then come over."

Tuanzi ignored him, practicing from a distance, also urging Gu Qize to hurry inside.

After practicing for a while, she turned her head to see Gu Yunmu sneakily trying to get closer, she zoomed off again, continued practicing, and before long, there he was sneaking up again.

Her eyes twinkled, Tuanzi smirked, pretending not to notice, and when Gu Yunmu was about to pounce, she suddenly flew away.

One acted sneakily, while the other acted as if they didn’t notice but knew everything, teasing the other playfully like walking a dog; before long, Gu Yunmu was panting and raised his hands for mercy.

"I was wrong."

Tuanzi had already flown to the second-floor windowsill, arms crossed, looking down at him, "Hmph, thinking you could compete with Miaomiao, you’ll never succeed."

Thinking back to the times she was able to escape from her master’s grasp multiple times; dealing with a young man with no martial arts skills proved easy.

Gu Yunmu drooped like a big dog with airplane ears, dejectedly heading indoors. From behind, he looked quite melancholic, even making Tuanzi feel a bit guilty.

"Was it too much?" she self-reflected.

A few dozen seconds later, Gu Chi’s voice came from inside, "Miaomiao, Yun Mu drank your radish pork rib soup."

"What?"
