Chapter 369: Is it too late to return the money now?
On a dilapidated tube upstairs, Zhen Hao and Niu Erhua squatted on the same dilapidated rooftop, and in front of them were several young and vigorous hot-blooded young men.
They were using his powerless little fists to bully the poor little stake that couldn't move or scream.
It's not for nothing that they are pitiful.
The whole body was in tatters, I don't know how long ago the paint had almost fallen off, and the hemp rope wrapped around the body was even more brutally bullied, and I was beaten and kicked day and night.
Even so, the hard work and dedication of these old grandfathers and grandmothers of hemp rope could not attract these young men to concentrate on practicing martial arts.
Although they didn't stop, their eyes stared directly at Niu Erhua and the little jade rabbit who was gnawing on carrots, their eyes were wandering, and the strength in their hands was getting weaker and weaker.
However, because Niu Erhua has a famous flower, they still see the little jade rabbit the most.
The beast-eared girl who has never seen it has greatly attracted their attention, making these dirt buns who have never seen the world unbearable.
"Bang Bang Bang~!"
A series of crisp small sticks stir-frying the gluteus maximus sounded, followed by a burst of chickens and dogs, shouting loudly similar to "Master, I don't dare anymore".
In the camera, a middle-aged man dressed in a green shirt looks quite elegant, like a teacher, who is the maker of this famous dish.
Just looking at the calluses on his fists, it is not difficult to guess that this person must be holding back...... Ahem, this person must not be a teacher, he is actually a martial arts practitioner.
And that's exactly what happened.
This person is this group of young masters, the masters who teach them boxing, the masters who have no money and no space to teach boxing on the rooftop.
The camera stretched, the field of vision widened, and a pregnant woman in white leaned on the door frame, watching the young men who were flying and jumping, and couldn't help but purse her lips and snicker.
It's just that behind this smile, there is a trace of sorrow hidden in it, and the eyes that look at these young men gradually hesitate.
Sensing the gaze that had been staring at her, the pregnant woman in white turned her head to look at Zhen Hao and his party who were squatting in the shade, and nodded with a smile.
There was no trace of sorrow in this smile.
Zhen Hao and his entourage are the only ones among these people who have paid the full fee for the martial arts training course, and they have never been left behind, and they have paid for five people.
Though...... Since two weeks ago, they have stopped practicing martial arts with their own men.
But whatever, as long as the money is paid enough, and her man has taught him seriously, they themselves are unwilling to practice martial arts, so who can blame him.
Anyway, the tuition fee will definitely not be refunded, and it will definitely not be refunded......
In fact, she can't quit even if she wants to, just because of one wordβββ poor.
Now her pocket is cleaner than her little face, take what to return.
In the midst of his thoughts, the man in the green shirt, who had finished making the gluteus maximus with a small stick, finally saw the pregnant woman in white leaning against the door frame, and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Madam, there is a strong typhoon this day, and you are pregnant with a child again, what are you doing here?"
As he spoke, the man in the green shirt had to help the pregnant woman in white downstairs to avoid the hot and windy dilapidated balcony.
Who knew that the pregnant woman in white accepted the support of the man in the green shirt, but refused to go downstairs, and therefore knocked off the big hand stretched out by the man in the green shirt.
Xiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, she looked at the young men who had become much more honest after eating a meal of small sticks fried gluteus maximus, and said in a low voice: "Ah Ye, have you mentioned it to them about paying tuition soon?"
As soon as he heard the word tuition, the man in the green shirt frowned subconsciously, and then quickly stretched out, pretending to be relaxed: "I mentioned it, I have already mentioned it to them, and they also patted their chests and assured me that there will be no accidents this time, and they will definitely be able to pay the tuition fees this time, so you can rest assured." β
This far-fetched expression, Zhen Hao and his party knew that he was lying, not to mention the pregnant woman in white who got along with him day and night.
The sorrow between her eyebrows was no longer hidden, her eyes were slightly red, but she held back her tears.
"I mentioned it, you say it every time, and you lie to me every time. The more she talked, the more angry she became, the white-clothed pregnant woman stretched out her hand and made a move of "eighteen bends on the mountain road", attacking the eight-pack waist of the man in green shirts, and came up and directly performed the first bend.
Zhen Hao looked trembling, but the man in the green shirt did not change his face, he still looked flattering, as if it was not his own flesh that was bent.
Seeing the appearance of the man in the green shirt with a dead face, the pregnant woman in white was so angry and wanted to laugh, she couldn't cry or laugh for a while, rolled her eyes at him, and withdrew her little hand.
The man in the green shirt took the opportunity to go up and a series of sugar-coated cannonballs successfully made the white-clothed pregnant woman burst into tears and laughed, and dispersed her anger.
It's a pity that the anger is easy to dissipate, the sorrow is difficult to calm down, and the sorrow on the face of the pregnant woman in white is still obvious even under the cover of a smile.
"My son has to pay tuition, and the rent is due soon, although Ah Zhen has helped us through the difficulties this month, but what will we do next month?"
Saying that, the pregnant woman in white secretly glanced at Zhen Hao, and whispered: "And Ah Zhen doesn't know why, he suddenly has no interest in learning martial arts, maybe he won't even pay the tuition one day, we should make plans early." β
The man in the green shirt frowned again when he heard this, and his face was unhappy: "How long has it been since Ah Zhen practiced martial arts?"
Pregnant woman in white: "......"
The focus is not on one channel at all.
The dissipating anger of the pregnant woman in white surged into her heart again, and her chest rose and fell with anger.
But she also knew the character of her man, so she didn't bother to say anything to him, pointed to Zhen Hao and his party who were watching the play, and said angrily: "If you want to know, you can ask yourself." β
Following the direction of the finger of the pregnant woman in white, the man in green shirt saw Zhen Hao and his party shrinking in the shadows, and then ...... Frowning forward.
This practice made the anger of the pregnant woman in white skyrocket by three points again.
If you ask for it, you will ask, and if you are asked to collect tuition, why don't you collect tuition?!
"Ah Zhen, since you have paid the tuition, why don't you practice with everyone?" The man in the green shirt pointed to the young men not far away with one hand behind his back.
Zhen Hao smiled and said, "Master Ye, you don't care about me, anyway, I have already paid your tuition." β
That's right, the man in the green shirt is Ye Man, and the pregnant woman in white is his wife Zhang Yongcheng.
For Zhen Hao's slightly cynical mentality, some old-fashioned Ip Man expressed unacceptability, and his stinky temper came up, and he said with a bluffed face: "Since you have paid the tuition, I have the responsibility to teach you to learn boxing, but if you don't want to learn, then don't ......."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yongcheng, who was rushed over, covered his mouth with his hand.
Zhang Yongcheng is a pregnant young woman, and she has no power to restrain the chicken, so she will definitely not be able to stop Ip Man.
But it was precisely because she was pregnant that Ip Man didn't dare to struggle, for fear that he would accidentally move her fetal gas.
The fetal gas is small, and it is troublesome to have no money to go to the hospital.
Pulling the reluctant Ip Man away, Zhang Yongcheng also turned around and cast an apologetic look at Zhen Hao.
Zhen Hao smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't care, it didn't matter.
"Why, are people more beautiful than me? Are they gentler and virtuous than me? Are they more likely to touch your heart than I am?"
Behind him, Niu Erhua's gloomy voice came, and the cold breath made the temperature around him drop by three points, and even the sun above his head hid behind the clouds.
Since the crossing, Zhen Hao and his party found the little jade rabbit that followed, and Niu Erhua's vinegar jar was completely overturned.
It's nothing to slander a pregnant woman now, like in the first two days when Zhen Hao stared at a female ant twice, she had to drink three catties of old vinegar.
"No, wife, you also eat this kind of vinegar? She is a pot-bellied woman who is seven or eight months pregnant, am I so unsightly in your heart?" Zhen Hao said a little broken.
Although Zhang Yong has grown up really well......
Zhen Hao's questioning, Xu made Niu Erhua feel that he was a little too much, blushing, pointing his fingers, and promising all kinds of exercise postures, which made Zhen Hao completely extinguish the fire.
The little jade rabbit in front of Zhen Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, and secretly scolded Zhen Hao for being unproductive, and bought him in a few exercise postures.
At this time, he should slap Niu Erhua's ass fiercely, and angrily reprimanded "Men's affairs, you women don't care", if you are more ruthless, say something "You are meddling, I will divorce you", it would be better.
Then she, the little rabbit who has been waiting for a long time, can take the opportunity to officially take the position!
It's a pity, it's still that sentence, Brother Zhen Hao is too unproductive, what's so good about a few exercise postures?
She Yutu hates exercising the most in her life!
Pouting disdainfully, the little jade rabbit dispersed his cranky thoughts and concentrated on dealing with the carrot in his hand.
Time flies, and the sun overhead may have been frightened by Niu Erhua, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving only the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance.
When it was time for school to get out of school, the boys secretly glanced at the little jade rabbit and reluctantly said goodbye to Ip Man.
Want to go? It's not that easy!
Before the young men could put their hands down, they were summoned together by Ip Man, who was embarrassed and smiling, and announced a news that was not good for them.
Today the weather is very good, the sun is shining, and the sunset is beautiful, so it is a good day to collect tuition.
It's just that the boys disappointed Ip Man, the tuition fee is a good thing, it's a pity that they don't.
A group of people touched all over themselves, most of them were three or five yuan, and there were many people who couldn't even take out three or five yuan because they were in a hurry to use money.
There is no way, Ye Man does not dislike it, he can collect a little is a little, and those who are in a hurry to use the money even said that they will have the opportunity to make up for it in the future.
Among the crowd, only Sect Master Huang paid the full amount.
He practiced martial arts and worked hard, and he paid all the money at one time, so this sect leader was even more loved by Ip Man, and he waved goodbye with an uncle smile.
The young men left, and only Zhen Hao and his party and Ip Man and his wife were left on the balcony.
Ye Man sent everyone away, glanced at Zhen Hao, didn't say anything more, and began to pack up the equipment used by the young men to practice martial arts.
Zhang Yongcheng also glanced at Zhen Hao and his party, didn't speak, turned his head and walked slowly to his house, ready to go home to cook.
Zhen Hao smiled, still didn't speak, patted his butt and got up, holding Niu Erhua in his hand, a little jade rabbit hanging on his legs, followed by the old demon couple of Montenegro, and the eldest young master generally followed Zhang Yongcheng when he traveled.
They have been solving three meals at Ip Man's house these days.
However, they didn't eat and drink for nothing, all kinds of odd and figurative consumption such as buying vegetables, oil, and noodles were all Zhen Hao's money.
The journey home was not far, even if Zhang Yongcheng had a big belly, it only took more than ten breaths to walk into his small door.
When the door was opened, Zhen Hao and his entourage entered the nest of Zhang Yongcheng and Ip Man.
The nest is not big, but it is well organized and warm.
In the center of the room, there is a brand-new mahogany large round table, which looks like high-end goods with patterns and carvings, and it is not on the same level as this hut at all.
At that time, before Zhen Hao and his party joined the group, there was only a tattered small round table here, eating on it, shaking three times, and paying attention to the movement of the rice bowl all the time, for fear that it would not be able to think about it for a while.
In fact, when I saw it for the first time, Zhen Hao thought that Ye Man was exercising his reflexes, and he didn't forget to practice martial arts after eating.
But it wasn't until later that Zhen Hao discovered that what bullshit's exercise reaction ability is completely "poor".
Whether it is a bowl or rice, which one falls on the ground, Ip Man has to feel distressed for a while, not to mention the two together, it is simply like a knife.
Returning to the theme, the movement of Zhen Hao and his party coming in attracted the attention of the little kid who was lying on the mahogany round table and doing his homework.
Throw away...... Gently putting down the pen in his hand, the little boy jumped off the stool, with a smile like seeing his father, trotting all the way, wanting to throw himself into Zhen Hao's arms.
shouted in his mouth: "Brother Zhen Hao, you are here!"
didn't succeed, and was stopped by the little jade rabbit with a disgusted face.
Facing the little jade rabbit with pink carving and good looks, this little kid was still shy, and he didn't even dare to look at the jade rabbit with a red face.
Zhen Hao smiled and rubbed his head, helped him make a chicken nest hairstyle, and then took out a piece of ocean from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand.
The next moment, the little kid's face was like seeing his own father...... No, the smile on his face was brighter than when he saw his own father.
Since Zhen Hao joined the house, the food fee of ten yuan a day has made this originally thin little boy feel the food level of the landlord's family.
In fact, with his limited thinking, he can only describe him as a landlord at most.
As everyone knows, at the level of three meals of ten yuan a day, those small landlords can't catch up.
At the same time, every time Zhen Hao saw this little kid, he would give him a dollar of pocket money, if nothing else, just a simple reward.
Every time he came, he looked at himself like his own father.
This kind of gaze makes Zhen Hao, who likes to be a father, very satisfied.
As thoughts flew, a grunt chirp with grievances came from the kitchen, followed by the little kid walking out of the kitchen with a bitter face.
As always, the dollar he just got in his hand was forcibly taken away by his mother βββ Zhang Yongcheng.
The reason Zhen Hao guessed was nothing more than "You are still young now, it is useless to ask for money, come, give it to your mother, and your mother will save it for you to marry your daughter-in-law in the future."
What? How does Zhen Hao know?
Don't ask, it's tears to ask.
At the same time, Ip Man, who had finished packing up his equipment, also came down from the rooftop, and the little kid didn't greet him, so he didn't see it, humming and chirping while doing his homework.
Seeing this, Ip Man instantly understood what was happening.
After hesitating for a moment, his mouth snorted, and finally he stepped forward and patted Zhen Hao's shoulder: "Ah Zhen...... Thank you. β
Zhen Hao returned the salute and patted Ye Man on the shoulder: "It's okay, who of us is with whom, your wife is me...... Your son is my son, and it's right to help each other. β
After that, Zhen Hao patted Ye Man's shoulder again, made a cheering expression of "you must persevere", and then pulled Niu Erhua and her party to sit around the mahogany round table, waiting for the meal to start.
Ip Man: Black question mark face .jpg
How do I feel about what you say...... Feel so bad in your heart?
Half an hour later, Zhang Yongcheng, who had prepared the ingredients in advance, came out with a steaming meal.
There were a total of eight people to eat, and Zhang Yongcheng made a full twelve dishes and steamed two pots of rice.
At the dinner table, everyone was talking and laughing, and the little boy was even more full of oil, and the big gulps of fat soothed his pain of losing a dollar.
In fact, the little guy's pain is completely fake.
The children of poor families have long been in charge, and he knows that his family's economic conditions are not good, so every time Zhen Hao gives him money, he will inadvertently let Zhang Yongcheng see it, and then desperately guard a wave, and finally Zhang Yongcheng "helplessly" took it away.
He didn't dare to give it blatantly, for fear that Zhen Hao wouldn't give it to him next time when he saw it.
"Oh, yes!"
While eating, Zhen Hao seemed to remember something, and then took out something similar to a passbook from his pocket.
However, this is a little different from a passbook, you don't need a password to withdraw money from the bank, so it is a passbook, which is actually more like a silver ticket.
With a chicken leg in his mouth, Zhen Hao half-got up and reached out to hand the "passbook" to Zhang Yongcheng.
"Come, Mrs. Ye, this is the tuition fee for a few of us, you see. β
Looking at Ye Man, who couldn't see any expression on his face, Zhang Yongcheng hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth lightly, and was about to reach out to take it.
stretched out half of his hand, but he was still entangled and struggling for a long time, and the Ip Man who couldn't pass it in his heart was stopped.
looked at Zhen Hao and said seriously: "You give money, but you don't learn boxing, so I can't ask for your tuition." β
It's quite principled, and you can only ......
"You don't want it?"
Zhen Hao sneered, and pointed at the little boy with the passbook: "You don't want this money, what do you take for your son to study?"
As he spoke, Zhen Hao pointed at Zhang Yongcheng again: "You don't want this money, what do you use to support your eight-month-old wife? What do you use to support your soon-to-be-born child?
Ye Wen didn't answer, and bowed his head in silence.
Zhang Yongcheng was anxious: "Don't talk about Ah Ye, he has worked very hard, we don't want your money." β
After that, Zhang Yongcheng turned around and grabbed Ye Man's big hand: "Ah Ye, don't take it to heart, Ah Zhen has no malicious intentions, he just ......"
It's just been a long time, and Zhang Yongcheng didn't say one, two, three.
Something was wrong with the atmosphere in the arena, and the little kid's eating and drinking stopped.
With his current thinking, he still can't understand why one of them has to give money, but the other doesn't want to live or die.
It's obviously a plot that costs money, but it makes them act like they're collecting debts.
After a while, Ye Man looked up, looked at Zhang Yongcheng, reached out and patted her small hand holding his big hand, revealing a far-fetched, but a slightly different smile.
Smiled and turned around, looked at Zhen Hao, nodded heavily, reached out and took the "passbook" in Zhen Hao's hand, and said gratefully: "Thank you......"
Zhen Hao waved his hand freely: "Thank you, who are we with, your son is my son, your wife is my son's mother, I should take care of you." β
Ip Man: "......"
Is it too late for me to not want this money now?
How do I feel that I sold my son and daughter-in-law?
