Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1228 Master's Decision

Han Li spent the morning drinking tea and chatting with his master, and from time to time he gave some pointers to the younger disciples present today.

The weather is hot now, and the more than 20 kilograms of beef that Han Li brought cannot be kept. He discussed with his master and decided to stew all the meat.

However, if they were just stewing the meat, not to mention that the eight of them were all martial artists, even if they were not, those younger brothers were all teenagers, and this amount of meat would not be enough for them to eat.

Han Li asked Hao Guangchun to take two people to buy some vegetables and cooked food. They bought some pork heads and a roast chicken. The vegetables they bought were all eggplants, but it was normal to buy only eggplants in this season.

Next, Han Li took a few junior fellow apprentices to the yard to make a big pot of beef stewed with eggplant. However, after it was cooked, they picked out two plates of the beef as a side dish.

At noon, Han Li, Xue Guowei, Lou Guangping, and Hao Guangchun accompanied their master to drink a little, while the younger ones just held their bowls and ate.

Han Li waited for his master to lie down on the bed for a nap this afternoon as usual before leaving.

However, just as Han Li left, Master Li, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes, looked at the closed door with a serious look, and muttered to himself.

"It's different, it's really different. This kid looks the same as usual, but people who have seen blood are different, whether it's the look in his eyes or the angles when he instructs others to punch.

But this child has adjusted his mentality well. If he hadn't grown up next to me, I wouldn't have noticed it.

But this child has always been soft-hearted, always smiling and doesn't like to compete with others, and he is very sensible when he has to take action.

What kind of dangerous situation did he encounter abroad this time that caused his hands to be stained with blood, even though he never kills people?"

Master Li thought about it for a moment and then got up from the bed. He knew that even an ordinary person, once his hands bleed, would often use the most convenient way to deal with the problem.

What's more, those of them who practice boxing will be more direct when encountering such a situation, and it would be nice to solve the problem once and for all.

But now is not the same as before. If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet sometimes. As long as you are not discovered ten or a hundred times, you will be fine. But if you fail once, it will be all over.

Master Li couldn't help with Han Li's situation abroad, but he absolutely couldn't let his disciple, whom he had brought up since childhood and who was both talented in literature and martial arts, had a bright future and would be able to establish his own family in the future, encounter such a situation in China.

The best way to prevent Han Li from encountering this kind of situation in the country is to have someone do it for him in advance so that it will not affect his future.

After Master Li came out of the room, he called the little ones who were playing to the yard for more practice.

While Master Li was looking them over, he was also eliminating those whose families, tempers, and natures were not suitable for doing such things in the future.

However, after screening again and again, he found that among the eight "apprentices" he was currently teaching, there seemed to be only three suitable candidates.

At this time, Han Li was riding his bicycle towards Laohudong Hutong. He had no idea that his master had noticed that his hands were stained with blood, and was preparing a few people for him to help him clear up trouble and resist trouble in the future.

Han Li didn't ride fast at all along the way. His eyes were always looking at the changes in the streets and alleys over the past year.

The streets are still the same, some places are being expanded, some places are planting trees, some places are constructing buildings, and there are also new shopping malls that have opened during this period.

But the situation in the alleys is different. The earthquake-resistant sheds and small kitchens that originally faced the street have been mostly demolished under the orders of the superiors.
The consequence of the demolition of these originally messy and inconspicuous houses is that the living space in many people's homes has become even more limited. The more children there are in the family, the tighter the living space becomes.

Especially for young families whose children went to the countryside to work in the past few years and who have returned to the city without jobs in the past two years, it is very normal to have three bunk beds in one room.

After getting married, you still have to live in the same room with your parents, younger brother and younger sister. Hanging a bed sheet will create a small house that blocks the view of other people. There are many families who have to handle things with care and hold the towel in their mouths when doing so.

This situation made every inch of land in the slum an object of competition among everyone, and people would never use wood to support walls if possible.

For places that are too small to build walls, a room can be built using wood, linoleum, and asbestos tiles. This room can then be used as a small kitchen or to store honeycomb coal and cabbage.

It is precisely because of this situation of fighting for every inch of land that many originally harmonious neighbors have ended up fighting or even gang-fighting. This has also become a factor in the frequent dispatch of street offices and police stations.

Many of the originally spacious and bright courtyards have now been occupied by small houses and turned into winding passages that can only accommodate one person.

If you push your bike home after get off work, you can just barely pass through, but you can't be too fat, otherwise it will be difficult to pass through. The matter doesn't end here. When they get home, there is no place to put the bike because of the small space.

The bicycles that were used to carry them out and to work and were like treasures in the village could only be hung on the wall of the haphazardly built small kitchen. Then they would face the smoke and fire of cooking along with garlic braids and pepper strings.

In such a high-density living area, friction is inevitable, which also causes the original friendship between neighbors to continue to weaken in this environment.

(A certain drama: The happy life of the poor common people, a family of eight all live in this small house of 8 square meters, living like sardines in a can, which is a portrayal of ordinary people in the city at this time and for a long time to come.)
Although Han Li rode slowly, he took shortcuts most of the time, and his speed to Laohudong Hutong was no slower than that of the bus.

When Han Li arrived here, he heard the laughter of two children and the whimpering of two Spring City dogs before he even entered the door.

When he pushed open the door, he saw the two little guys, Da Ming and Xiao Ming, each holding a dog's tail in their hands and shaking it. The two dogs didn't dare to struggle or bite, and could only whimper in place. When they saw Han Li coming, they whimpered even more miserably.

At this time, Wang Chunhua, who was sitting in the yard washing clothes for Da Ming and Xiao Ming, looked up and saw Han Li. She stood up in surprise, shook her wet hands, wiped them on her body twice, and ran over.

"You, the bull, are finally back. I was a little bit unconvinced when I heard Sister He tell me about it this morning."

Han Li: "I'm back. Did you miss me?"

Wang Chunhua nodded and said, "Of course I do. The longer I spend with these two children, the more I miss you."

Before Wang Chunhua finished speaking, she reached out and touched Han Li, then turned around and came to Da Ming and Xiao Ming, took the dog tails from their hands, pointed at Han Li and said.

"Da Ming, Er Ming, your father is back from abroad. You two brothers, hurry up and call him dad."

Wang Chunhua's words were of no use. The two children looked at Han Li and did not call for help, but they did not hide aside either, which showed that they had okay personalities.

Han Li walked over and squatted beside the two little brothers, taking out toys and lollipops from his bag to amuse them.

"My son calls me dad, and I give all these to you."

However, Han Li's words and temptations were still useless. The two brothers still looked at him with unfamiliar eyes, and they even moved closer to Wang Chunhua.

Han Li was not angry when he saw this. He smiled and stuffed the toys into their hands, then he personally picked out the lollipops and put them to their mouths and said.

"Eat it. This lollipop is from abroad. It's so sweet."

At this time, Wang Chunhua was still helping to guide Da Ming and Xiao Ming to call dad. Han Li put the third lollipop to her mouth and said.

"Thank you for your hard work. It must be very tiring to take care of these two brothers."

Wang Chunhua opened her mouth and put the lollipop into her mouth. After turning it around in her mouth, she said meaningfully.

"Don't worry about it. I like them both very much and have always been thinking about having my own children."

After listening to this, Han Li laughed a few times, reached out and patted Wang Chunhua on the shoulder and said.

"There's no rush for this matter. Once we know the school's next arrangements for me, we can discuss it in detail."

When Han Li said this, Wang Chunhua thought that he was not keeping his word and spoke a little anxiously.

"You are such a heartless person. Are you going to go back on your promise to me now?"

Wang Chunhua's voice was a little high when she said this, which made Han Li glare at her unhappily. He reached out and pinched her breasts before speaking.

"When have I ever broken my promise? But I think you need a lesson in recent times."

"Not now, the child will be sleepy in about half an hour."
