Chapter 17 Tai Chi
As soon as the sky turned white, Chen's mother told Xiaoxi to get up. But when he called Chen Yubin, he couldn't afford to call it, thinking about what his father-in-law said yesterday, he couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Binbin, hurry up, do you still want to practice martial arts." ”
Practicing martial arts, as soon as Chen Yubin heard this, he got up from the bed, but his eyes were dull and he sat on the bed in a daze.
Xiaoxi saw that his younger brother was obviously not awake yet, and he was still lacking sleep and growing his body, so he said to his mother, "Mom, don't worry, let my brother sleep for a while." I'll teach you and grandpa to practice Tai Chi first, and then I'll wake him up later, and we'll practice martial arts. ”
Presumably Tai Chi was the idea that Xiao Xi said yesterday, and asked puzzledly: "Where did you learn this Tai Chi from?"
The stream shook, and the chaotic brain instantly woke up, and said hesitantly: "Well, I saw it from Grandpa's box, I helped Grandpa when he was looking through the box last year, Mom, let's go, Grandpa, they must all be up." ”
"Well, yes, let's go. After saying that, let Binbin continue to sleep, call him later, and pull the stream to the courtyard of his father's house, because he said it yesterday, and he didn't want others to know about his martial arts.
When I went out of the back door, I saw my grandparents waiting in the yard.
Seeing that only Xiaoxi and Chen's mother were coming, Grandpa Chen said solemnly: "Is it not to call Binbin to get up, I'll call it." With that, he walked to the back door.
Xiaoxi hurriedly stepped forward to grab him and explained: "No, no, grandpa, I want to say, teach you to practice Tai Chi first, and I don't have anything to do, just let him sleep a little longer, and then wake him up later." ”
Grandpa thought about it, so he didn't go to ask Chen Yubin to get up, and said, "Then let him sleep a little longer." Then he said, "Xiaoxi, this Tai Chi is what you are going to teach us today." ”
"Well, I saw it when I was helping you look through the box last year, it's such a big book. As he spoke, he gave Grandpa Chen a look, and compared the size of the book in his hand.
Grandpa couldn't help but be a little amused, thinking to himself, I guess it was in that space, so he said happily: "Oh, no wonder you are spinning around next to my box, it turns out that this is for this." ”
After saying that, everyone laughed.
Xiaoxi smiled and continued to explain: "This Tai Chi is a suitable boxing for men, women and children, with slow speed and soft movements. ”
"Then I can practice too!" The mother-in-law was indescribably happy in her heart, and thought that what Xiaoxi said yesterday that everyone practiced was coaxing people, but she didn't expect it to be true.
Xiaoxi nodded seriously and said, "Yes, you can practice, mother-in-law can, grandfather can, mother can, even my brother can do it, but he wants to practice martial arts with me, I want to say that he is still young, and it will not be too late to wait for him to practice martial arts." ”
Seeing everyone's excited faces, Xiaoxi continued: "There are a total of twenty-four styles of Taijiquan, and I plan to review two styles every day and one every three days, how about it?"
"Yes, you have to take your time. Grandpa nodded in agreement.
"That's right. Chen's mother said with a puzzled face, "Xiaoxi, you are not literate yet, how can you read books?"
The mother-in-law also said with a look of surprise: "Yes, and no one told you to read, how did Xiaoxi know?"
"Well, well...... "It's over, it's over, how can I know how to read, damn it, why did I forget this stubble."
Looking at Xiaoxi with a bewildered face, Grandpa Chen hurriedly said: "It's me, Xiaoxi doesn't know words, I read it to her, I thought it was the words on the illustration, Xiaoxi asked for fun, and what martial arts cheats are on TV, I didn't expect to be figured out by Xiaoxi." "It seems that Xiaoxi still has a lot of secrets, Huiji will be hurt, this kid is too smart, it's not a good thing.
Hearing that his grandfather helped him defend himself, Xiaoxi hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, I compared the pictures in the book, and the content of the book was told to me by my grandfather." After speaking, he looked at his grandfather with a flattering face.
"Oh. Chen's mother and mother-in-law's questions were answered, and Xiaoxi was even more uneasy.
Xiaoxi learned Chen's Taijiquan, a total of 24 styles. Tai Chi not only moves the limbs, so that the muscles, joints, muscles and bones are exercised, but also enhances the function of the central nervous system, so that the excitation and inhibition of the cerebral cortex maintain a good balance, improve people's mood, and thus make various physiological functions active.
Playing Tai Chi often can make the strong stronger and the weak stronger.
Grandpa saw that it was not early, so he said, "Okay, let's start quickly, it's almost dawn." ”
Only then did everyone gather their emotions and stand in a row, with Xiaoxi standing alone in front.
"Tai Chi is about one word, slow. In the first pose, the body is naturally upright, the feet are apart, shoulder-width apart, the toes are forward, the arms are naturally drooping, the hands are on the outside of the thighs, and the eyes are level to look ahead......" Xiaoxi said as he gestured, and several people behind him also followed suit.
Because Chen's mother and mother-in-law still can't let go after all, their movements are a little twisty.
Xiaoxi turned around and raised Chen's mother's arm, "Mom, your arms should be stretched out at the same height as your shoulders, and your elbows should be slightly bent ......."
He patted his mother-in-law's thigh again, "Mother-in-law, the distance between your legs should be the same width as your shoulders, move a little more to the side, press your knees down a little more, and align your knees with your toes......"
He quipped again: "Well, grandpa did a good job." He also nodded, looking teachable.
For a while, in this world, I only heard the crisp voice of a little girl, pointing out a few words from time to time, and explaining boxing techniques from time to time. Like a little bee, he walked around people, and he was very happy.
Half an hour later, the first and second forms of Taijiquan had all been handed over to the three of them, and when they saw that the sky was already bright, Xiaoxi said, "Grandpa, you practice a few more times, I'll go and tell my brother to get up, we should practice martial arts." ”
Grandpa Chen looked at the sky, it was not early, so he urged: "It's not early, go and tell Binbin to get up." ”
"Hmm. After saying yes, Xiaoxi ran back to his bedroom.
Chen's mother saw that the sky was bright, so she said anxiously: "Dad, you see that the sky is bright, I have to hurry up and cook." ”
"Well, there you go. Seeing that the daughter-in-law turned around and went to the stove to cook, the grandfather said to his wife, "Old woman, come, let's come twice again." ”
"Go aside, who will come with you twice. The mother-in-law said disgustedly, and when she saw Xiaoxi coming out with Chen Yubin, she hurriedly said: "Binbin, get up, hurry up and start practicing martial arts with your sister, it's not too early." ”
"Mother-in-law is early, grandpa is early. After Chen Yubin finished saying hello, he stood firmly beside Xiaoxi, waiting for Xiaoxi to start.
Xiaoxi looked at his grandfather, and Grandpa Chen took out the thread-bound book, and was about to open it to talk to Xiaoxi's sisters and brothers, not wanting his mother-in-law to snatch it.
"I'll take a look, Chen's boxing, the first style ......" The mother-in-law curiously took the book and flipped through it, and read it as she read it.
My mother-in-law's family was originally a wealthy family, so it was still a little different from ordinary rural women. The mother-in-law first studied in the school for two years, and then the ancestor (mother-in-law's parents) found her a husband to teach at home to teach her studies, and later, the mother-in-law also taught kindergarten for a few years (I don't know if this is true, I just heard about it), so the mother-in-law still knows two words.
This old woman, what to rob, looked at the two children who were holding back laughter, and embarrassed herself.
Seeing that the grandfather who was robbed of his job by his mother-in-law was pretending to be generous and practicing Tai Chi on the side, but his stretched ears betrayed his curiosity.
Grandpa is several years older than my mother-in-law, so I love her very much. Xiaoxi remembers that in her previous life, her mother-in-law was not in good health, and she had to get sick every winter and receive infusions.
Xiaoxi remembered that at that time, every year just after winter, the family boiled up traditional Chinese medicine, and her mother-in-law basically lay on the bed, and it was her grandfather's business to boil medicine and cook, and she brought it to the bed.
Therefore, if a man cooks well, no matter how talented he is and lacks experience, it will not work.
I remember when I was a child, my mother-in-law had to lie in bed for a few months every year, and later I went to the hospital several times, and my grandfather took care of me. Xiaoxi has always felt that grandpa is in good health, and her mother-in-law is sick every year, so she must walk in front of her grandfather. After my grandfather went, my mother-in-law basically didn't have any pain every winter, and her body was still tough, and in the tenth year of my grandfather's death, she also passed away due to esophageal problems.
Several of my mother-in-law's children laughed and said that my mother-in-law was lazy and pretended, and when her grandfather went, no one cooked for her, and she didn't do it herself.
They all said that grandpa had spoiled his mother-in-law, became more and more lazy, and he didn't want to cook, so he went to this girl's house for two days today, and went to live at that girl's house for two days tomorrow.
Xiaoxi is very envious, whether it is real or not, whether it is pretended, her mother-in-law has indeed been pampered by her grandfather for decades, as always, it is not easy, Xiaoxi also hopes to meet such a person like her mother-in-law, and love herself for decades, consistently.
Chen's mother put the rice in the pot, stewed it with firewood on the shelf, and came out to see how a few people were practicing.
Seeing that his daughter-in-law came out, Grandpa Chen beckoned: "Come over quickly and practice with Xiaoxi and them." ”
Chen's mother waved her hand vigorously and hurriedly said, "No, no, no, I still have to watch the pot." ”
Grandpa Chen's eyes bulged, and he hated that iron could not be made of steel, so he turned his head and stopped paying attention to her.
Chen's mother leaned against the back door, smiling and looking at the few people in the courtyard very seriously.
Granny Chen held the thread-bound book to explain the meaning of the book to the children, Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin were gesturing on the side, and Xiaoxi also came to the book from time to time to look at the movements drawn on the book. While practicing the Tai Chi he had just learned, Grandpa Chen was also paying attention to the two children's martial arts. Chen's mother leaned against the earthen wall and looked at the two children happily, and went to see the pot from time to time.
What a picture of tranquility, happiness and peace!
Chen's mother brought out a basin of water and shouted to a few people in the courtyard, "The rice is cooked, everyone come and wash your face and eat." ”
Grandpa Chen took advantage of the situation and said to a few people in the courtyard: "Okay, let's stop here today." ”
