After being reborn, I have seven older sisters.

Just as Chunsheng was talking to his sixth sister Chunmiao, his mother lifted the curtain and his father walked in from outside, one after the other.

Liu Yan'e asked with a smile, "Chunsheng, are you busy right now?"

"not busy."

Chunsheng looked at his mother with curiosity, noticing that she had suddenly become very polite to him.

Liu Yan'e and her husband walked to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), sat down, and said, "Your father and I discussed it and felt that what your third sister said earlier made some sense, so we still want to take you to the county hospital for a check-up."

Chunsheng immediately frowned, realizing what it was about. "Mom, I'm really fine. There's no need for us to go to the county hospital and waste money!"

"How can you say that's a waste of money, child!"

Liu Yan'e shook her head and continued, "Your third brother-in-law has a classmate who is a doctor at the provincial military hospital. He said that even if someone who has swallowed water recovers, they may still suffer from aftereffects, and some of these aftereffects sound quite serious!"

"What are the possible long-term effects?" Chunmiao asked immediately.

Liu Yan'e thought for a moment and replied, "Your third sister didn't remember exactly what they were, but she said some serious ones could cause paralysis!"

"Is it that scary?"

Chunmiao's eyes widened in shock, then she said to Chunsheng, "In that case, we should go to the county hospital to get it checked out!"

When Liu Yan'e saw that her daughter Chunmiao had already started to persuade her, she immediately cooperated and said, "Go and see! It would be best if nothing's wrong, then your father and I can rest assured. If they find out something is wrong, we'll know and then we can start treatment as soon as possible."

At this moment, his father, Song Mantun, quickly advised, "Chunsheng, listen to your mother and sister. Find some time in the next couple of days to go to the county hospital!"

Chunsheng knew that his parents and sister were only doing it out of concern for him, but he really didn't want to go.

First, he was certain that he would not suffer any aftereffects from drowning, as they had feared.

Only he himself knows the true extent of his physical condition.

Another point is that he is extremely reluctant to spend his family's money.

His family didn't have much money to begin with, and now he was going to have to spend money on something so unfounded, which really made him feel bad and reluctant to do so!

"Chunsheng, really listen to your sister. I think we absolutely cannot take any chances with this."

Chunmiao spoke with an extremely serious expression, "Just like Mom said, no matter what the results are from the hospital, at least the family will know. It's best if nothing's wrong, but if something is wrong, we should get the doctor to treat it as soon as possible. We absolutely can't let someone suddenly fall ill and the whole family be completely clueless about what happened!"

"Your sister Chunmiao is right, this matter is settled!"

As Liu Yan'e spoke, she stood up from the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), her tone extremely forceful.

Chunsheng understood his mother; that was always her personality, though she rarely showed it in front of him. When they talked, she always smiled and discussed things with him.

But once his mother felt that something had to be done, she would no longer discuss it with him in the same gentle tone as before, but would instantly become domineering.

Father Song Mantun was gentle and always had a kind and pleasant demeanor towards everyone.

The family had seven girls in the first seven years, which was a huge disadvantage in the rural areas of that era.

Although everyone in the village is surnamed Song and they all share the same ancestor over a hundred years ago, that was a long time ago.

Now everyone lives their own lives, and they often fight over half a pound of corn or one or two pumpkins because of unfair distribution by the production team.

If the mother's personality is as gentle, mild, and easy to talk to as the father's, then their family is very likely to suffer losses and be bullied!

Chunsheng saw that his mother had already made up her mind, and there was no point in arguing anymore.

So she let out a soft sigh and asked her mother, "When are we going?"

"Wait for your third sister to send you a letter! Once she has someone deliver it, then you can ask the school for leave in advance!"

After Liu Yan'e finished speaking, she went straight out.

Song Mantun approached Chunsheng, forcing a smile, and said in a low voice, "Let's go to the hospital for a checkup, that way your mother and I can rest assured!"

"clear!"

Chunsheng nodded to his father, immediately indicating that he understood the two elders' good intentions.

Just before lunchtime, Zhang Junwu arrived, carrying a heavy bag on his shoulder.

Father and mother rushed to greet him. Father immediately asked, "Junwu, what are you carrying on your shoulder?"

"sand!"

After answering, Zhang Junwu immediately looked at the two elderly people, "This is for Chunsheng to practice his boxing. Where do you two think we should put it?"

Upon hearing the commotion, Chunsheng quickly ran out of the house. "Brother Junwu is here!"

As Chunsheng spoke, he reached out to help Zhang Junwu carry the sandbags.

Zhang Junwu laughed, "This is too heavy for you. Just tell me where to put it!"

"Then let's put it in the backyard!"

After Chunsheng finished speaking, he immediately led Zhang Junwu to the backyard.

His parents and two older sisters followed closely behind, all curious as to why Zhang Junwu had carried such a large bag of sand.

After placing the sandbags on the ground, Zhang Junwu stood in the middle of the yard and looked around.

He quickly spotted the wooden shed made of green asbestos tiles and the neatly arranged training equipment inside. He smiled and asked, "I remember, this shed wasn't here last time I came?"

"Yes, that was done by Uncle Yougen from the team that my parents asked a couple of days ago."

Zhang Junwu smiled after hearing this, "Great job, that's really fast!"

Then, he turned to Liu Yan'e and Song Mantun, and praised them with a smile, "It seems that Uncle and Aunt are very supportive of Chunsheng's martial arts training!"

Song Mantun laughed and said, "Of course! You've put so much effort into teaching him, so we parents have to show our support. Besides, building a shed isn't a big deal!"

"By the way, Junwu, do you think there's a good place to put the sandbags in the backyard? I'll help you with that."

Zhang Junwu smiled and shook his head at Song Mantun, then immediately began to carefully examine the trees in the backyard.

He quickly chose one and asked, "Can we hang the sandbags on that crooked jujube tree?"

"able!"

Without hesitation, Song Mantun agreed immediately, then asked, "How long of a rope do you need? Should Chunsheng go find it?"

Zhang Junwu roughly measured it with his eyes and said, "Just find a thick hemp rope that's five or six meters long!"

In no time, Chunsheng brought back a hemp rope from the front yard.

Junwu hung the rope on the tree, pulled hard, and found that the length was just right.

Then, with Chunsheng's help, they hung the sandbag, which weighed more than a person, on the crooked jujube tree in the northeast corner of the wall.

After everything was settled, Chunsheng, under Zhang Junwu's guidance, practiced the Luohan Fist techniques he had learned that day, including hand and palm techniques, in front of his parents and two older sisters!
