Chapter 21 Delivery of public rations

"Whew!"

Early in the morning, Guan Xiaojun followed Guan Zizi to get up and toss back and forth in the yard.

Guan Zi practiced extremely slowly in this turtle and crane exercise, and the rhythm was similar to Yang's Taijiquan on the street in later generations, but the movements were very different, imitating the posture and demeanor of several animals, and some animals imitated it to say, such as tigers, cranes, monkeys, buffaloes, mantises, long insects, etc., so they can be regarded as stretching and generous, agile and dexterous, but what does it mean to imitate crabs and turtles?

In particular, when imitating the movements of a turtle, the head is shrunk, the limbs are closed, and then the exhale is stretched, and the posture is extremely strange, and it is gimpy.

Although the name of this turtle and crane is only the word "turtle and crane", it actually imitates as many as 36 kinds of animals in nature.

Guan Xiaojun had an understanding of Chinese martial arts in his previous life, and knew that there were twelve shapes of Xingyi in Xinyi Gate and Xingyi Gate, imitating the form of twelve animals, which was quite powerful, and there were other bionic boxing, such as praying mantis boxing, snake boxing, eagle claw gong, monkey boxing, etc., are very famous, but these boxing types are only a single imitation of a certain creature.

He never imagined that there would be a fist that imitated thirty-six animals at once.

And when Guan Zi taught Guan Xiaojun this set of kung fu, each set of shelves had a set of auxiliary breathing methods, which was extremely complicated, that is, Guan Xiaojun's brain was very good, otherwise, I am afraid that these more than 300 movements would not know to learn the Year of the Monkey.

After practicing for almost an hour, Guan Xiaojun slowly completed these 300 or so movements, and by the time he exhaled, he was already sweating profusely, his face was red, and even the roots of his ears were red.

"Not bad, not bad!"

After watching Guan Xiaojun finish this set of extremely complicated boxing techniques, Guan Zizai was very happy and exclaimed: "Your kid has a really good memory, when I learned this frame, it took me five days to barely learn it, but I didn't expect you to memorize it for three days, you are a good seedling!"

Guan Xiaojun wiped his sweat and asked, "Master, have you taught others this set of boxing techniques before?

Guan Zizai snorted with a dark face, "I couldn't eat enough before, who learns boxing?" Since ancient times, people who are poor and rich in martial arts and who learn kung fu generally have a big appetite, and no one wants to learn when they can't eat enough. This set of boxing techniques is too troublesome, in the future, I will teach you alone, and I don't have the energy and don't want to teach the rest!"

Guan Xiaojun let out an "oh", thinking about it, in the previous era of frequent famines, no one had time to practice boxing, didn't you see that the monks of Shaolin Temple were all starved at that time?

After practicing the basic movements, after a little rest, Guan Zizai led Guan Xiaojun to walk slowly in his own yard, he carried a small kettle for watering flowers, while watering the flowers in the yard, while explaining to Guan Xiaojun the names and characteristics of these flowers, little by little, slowly instilling this knowledge into Guan Xiaojun's mind, like a trickle into the arid land, quite moisturizing things silently, sometimes he also gave the kettle to Guan Xiaojun, let him carry the kettle to water, and told him what to do.

This kind of slowly guided interactive teaching is not common in this era, I am afraid that it is only about being free to have this idle time to teach, and Guan Xiaojun has this kung fu to learn, and it is replaced by other children, at Guan Xiaojun's age, it is estimated that he can't understand anything.

When Guan Zizai first taught Guan Xiaojun about flowers, he was worried that Guan Xiaojun was too young to understand, but after explaining for a while, he found that Guan Xiaojun listened to it with relish, and randomly took out a few questions to ask, and the little guy answered the head of the way, which surprised Guan Zizai, but he was also extremely excited, he didn't expect that a young genius appeared in his family, and since then he has paid more and more attention to Guan Xiaojun.

After explaining the habits of a few flowers today, Guan Zizai pointed to a few pots of flowers and said to Guan Xiaojun: "Xiaojun, you can take a few pots of these flowers in the yard home, it can be regarded as practicing in advance!"

It was a pot of Junzi Orchid that was close to his fingers.

After some teaching by Guan Zizai, Guan Xiaojun knew that this pot of Junzi Orchid is a "monk's head" with wide leaves and round edges, which is the most common one among Junzi Orchids, but it is also the most mature species.

At the beginning, from the puppet Manchukuo Imperial Palace to the folk Junzi Orchid, one of them entered a temple and was watered and cultivated by the monks in the temple.

Because of the scarcity of Junzi Orchid, Guan Zizai is also extremely concerned about the cultivation of Junzi Orchid, but because he is too attentive, more and more Junzi Orchids are cultivated, and gradually one-third of the entire courtyard is occupied by Junzi Orchid.

Scarce flowers that are not common elsewhere can be seen everywhere in Guan Zizai's yard, which can be called "full of flowers", which makes Guan Zizi feel quite annoyed.

Guan Xiaojun saw that Guan Zizi was going to take the orchid away by himself, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "Master, I heard two days ago that these Junzi orchids are very valuable, if they are broken, I can't afford to pay for them!"

Guan Zizai laughed and scolded: "Nonsense! How much is a pot of flowers worth? If it is valuable, I can't even send it away? Hurry up and move away, save space!"

Guan Xiaojun said that he didn't want anything, "Master, I'll move a pot of other varieties, I think this pot of orchids is very good, I'll take this pot of orchids to practice!"

Junzilan's name has the word "orchid", in fact, it has nothing to do with orchids at all, Guan Xiaojun moved orchids instead of Junzilan, because he didn't want to take advantage of Guan Zizi.

Seeing that Guan Xiaojun insisted on refusing to ask for Junzi Orchid, Guan Zizi felt slightly strange, but he didn't force it, and chose a pot of orchids with Guan Xiaojun to take away.

After that, every few days, Guan Zizai asked Guan Xiaojun to take a pot of flowers from the yard, so that after a while, the wheat had been harvested, and after some drying, each household began the annual grain delivery.

In this era, the amount of grain handed over in each region is also different, in Guandimiao Village, it is generally about 100 catties to 120 catties per mu of land, and it is rare to exceed 120 catties.

At this time, a family pulls a cart full of wheat and goes straight to the grain office in the township, after inspection, the wheat is divided into several grades, such as good, qualified, unqualified, etc., only the qualified can be weighed and handed over, and the unqualified ones will be sent back, either dried in the grain station, or go home to dry and clean again.

At this time, the sampling inspector of the grain institute is extremely popular, not related to the director, it is impossible to have this position, and this kind of person has a very heavy bureaucratic style, although he is only a quality inspector, but he is very majestic, whether your grain can pass, why not qualified, is in his thoughts. Every year, there are many cases of random inspectors deliberately embarrassing people, and Guan Xiaojun alone has seen several cases.

Fortunately, they didn't dare to embarrass Guan Yunshan, and those sad things had never been staged in the Guan family.

When the public grain was paid, the family still had to do farm work, and Guan Yang still had to go to school, so it was usually Guan Yunshan who took Guan Xiaojun to the grain station.

Carrying wheat and handing it over is Guan Yunshan's business, Guan Xiaojun just watched things in the car to prevent others from stealing.

this day.

After Guan Yunshan moved more than 3,000 catties of wheat to the car, he called Guan Xiaojun, "Xiaojun, come with me to the grain station, Dad will buy you something delicious!"
