Taking in Three Disciples
Biên tập viên: Henyee Translations
Chu Xuyao made up his mind to learn martial arts. "Sure, we'll work hard."
Chu Qingyan, who was adding firewood to the stove, said enthusiastically, "Sister Lihua, I want to learn too and become as powerful as you."
Teaching two was not much different from teaching three. Ge Lihua agreed. She said solemnly, "In that case, we'll start practicing after you guys finish homework tonight. We'll practice for two hours a day."
Chu Qingyan and Chu Xuyao said in unison, "Yes."
Chu Qingzhi said, "Lihua, let them acknowledge you as their master before teaching them."
In this era, skills or martial arts were only passed down to one's children or disciples. It was not passed down to outsiders.
As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for a life. When the master got old, the disciple had to be filial and take care of him.
