Starting from the morning after Zheng Ziyan left, Yue Haohan got up in the morning to practice Tai Chi with Old Man Luo for several days.

Old man Luo's name is Luo Xianjie; In the early thirties, when the Red Third Army was stationed in Wudang Mountain, Luo Xianjie, who was already a Red Army battalion commander in his 20s, was seriously injured; The physique is very weak, and the nutrition of life cannot keep up, and the physique recovery is very slow; Seeing him in this situation, a Taoist surnamed Xu taught him a set of Taijiquan exercises; Since then, this set of Taijiquan has followed Luo Xianjie Rongma all his life; Whether during the war years or in peacetime, Luo Xianjie had to do Tai Chi at least once a day. Luo Xianjie said that if you don't do tai chi every day, you will feel uncomfortable. It is said that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, this set of Taijiquan also saved his life, a battle, Luo Xianjie's unit, the bullet was finished, and it was by this set of boxing methods to fight hand-to-hand with the devil; Later, he was stabbed three times, and the devil thought he was dead; But Luo Xianjie lay down, closed his eyes and ran this set of Tai Chi breathing exercises, insisted on it for a long time, and finally survived; Later, the follow-up troops found Luo Xianjie who was dying and rescued him; With treatment, I recovered in a few days.

In fact, Luo Xianjie's Tai Chi routines are not complicated, and there are not many moves; Yue Haohan quickly learned every move of this set of punches in a few days.

This morning, after the two of them practiced Tai Chi a few more times; Luo Xianjie picked up his warm teacup, drank two sips of water and said: "Xiaoyue, you are already familiar with the routines and exercises of this set of boxing methods, but this set of boxing methods is important in comprehension; Every time you finish playing, you have different feelings, and you have a good understanding; You have to stick to the practice, the most important thing is to persevere!

Yue Haohan said: "Master, I know, I must insist on practicing helplessly!" ”

Luo Xianjie said: "Xiaoyue, don't call me master in the future, I have never accepted apprentices, nor have I confiscated apprentices; They all say that I have a strange temper, but in fact, it is not that I have a strange temper, there were many people in the past, who tried every possible way to learn this set of boxing from me; None of them have pure ideas, and they don't really want to learn boxing; There is another plan; My father and I have a fate, I have taught you this set of boxing techniques and the essentials of breathing techniques, you just need to keep practicing; From now on, you can call me 'grandpa' or 'old man'. ”

Yue Haohan said: "Okay, I will call you grandpa in the future; Mr. Luo has been my homeroom teacher for a few years, and he also treats me as a son in his mind, so it's good to call him grandpa. ”

Luo Xianjie took another sip of water and said: "Xiaoyue, I will return to Beijing in a few days, and you don't know much about this set of boxing techniques in the future; went to Wudang Mountain to consult the Qingfeng Dao Chief; He was my youngest junior brother, so I told you to find him. ”

Yue Haohan said: "Okay! Grandpa, I don't know what the Qingfeng Dao chief looks like? Is it about your age? ”

Luo Xianjie said: "He is much younger than me, only in his sixties this year; My junior brother's name is Li Yifu, and his name is 'Qingfeng'; by the way, if you want to meet him, you can also discuss the Book of Changes with him, my junior brother is very good at studying the Book of Changes! ”

Yue Haohan secretly thought in his heart, could the old man's junior brother be the Taoist who called himself 'the first hexagram in Jiangnan' that he met outside the movie theater last time? It seems that the Taoist said at that time that he was a Wudang Taoist.

Thinking of Yue Haohan, he said, "Grandpa, why don't you stay for a few more days?" ”

Luo Xianjie said: "I have something to do when I go back to Beijing, I will tell you my address in Beijing before I leave; You have a chance to go to Beijing, you can go to me; Or if you have a chance, you will go with your teacher Luo, you kid, you want to see me, I will tell Kang Mei when I turn around, and take you to the recognition door next time she goes back! ”

Yue Haohan said: "Okay, I'll listen to grandpa." You're leaving, I'm reluctant to go! ”

Luo Xianjie smiled, pointed his finger at Yue Haohan and said, "You kid!" I like you! ”

The two spent a few days together and practiced Tai Chi, and Yue Haohan felt that he liked Old Man Luo's character more and more; Old man Luo, open-minded, bold, love and hate, is a little stubborn, although he is in his 80s, he is still like a bell, his face is ruddy, and his body is still very tough!

The two chatted for a while, practiced boxing again, and then went home too early!

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, Mr. Wang stood at the door of the courtyard and shouted, "Haohan, are you at home?" There's a call, go get it! ”

Yue Haohan came out in response and said, "Hello! Mr. Wang, where is the phone number?

Teacher Wang looked at Yue Haohan suspiciously: "It's still the girl who called you last time, she speaks Mandarin very well, and I heard her as soon as I heard it; Didn't she just leave? ”

Yue Haohan smiled and said, "Teacher Wang, you are mistaken, this is my classmate, it was Aunt Jiang's girl who was at my house a few days ago, I told you, that is my sister!" ”

Teacher Wang smiled and said: "Look at me, I thought it was a person, I thought the girl who came a few days ago was your girlfriend, your Aunt Jiang's girl is so beautiful; We don't have such a beauty in Jiangyang County! ”

As they spoke, the two arrived at the door of the duty room, and Mr. Wang said, "You go and pick it up, there is no one else in the duty room; I'll walk around outside, you guys talk! ”

After entering the duty room and picking up the phone, Yue Haohan shouted: "Ziying, is it you?" ”

Cheng Ziying's sweet voice came from the phone: "It's not me, who else can it be?" Is there anyone else calling you? You don't even want me, why don't you call my home for so long? ”

Yue Haohan said: "I wanted to call several times, but I didn't call after picking up the phone, for fear that it would be inconvenient for you to answer the call." ”

Cheng Ziying sighed and said, "Excuse me, do you miss me after all?" ”

Yue Haohan said: "Why don't you want to? I think about you every day, and I'm afraid that the phone will be answered by the rest of your family, how embarrassing it is! ”

Cheng Ziying said: "If you miss me in the future, just call my home during work hours, when I go to work, my parents are not at home, just me and my brother and sister-in-law, nephew are at home, my brother and sister-in-law are fine, I secretly told my sister-in-law about the two of us; Didn't let him tell anyone! My sister-in-law also said that as long as I like it, it must be right, it must be excellent! ”

Yue Haohan suddenly remembered the first time the two kissed, and his heart was extremely excited, and he felt warm!

Cheng Ziying said on the other end of the phone: "Haohan, let me tell you something, I went to Huangshan with my brother and sister-in-law a few days ago, and I only came back yesterday; As soon as I got home yesterday, I received a call from Li Xiaohui, and we chatted on the phone for a while, and she cried on the phone; I asked her what was going on, and she didn't say anything, just cried, and finally just said that she missed a few of us, and then hung up the phone.

Yue Haohan said: "Xiaohui must have something going on, let's ask after school starts!" ”

Cheng Ziying said: "Well, I also feel that Xiaohui has a situation; Dashan chased him so persistently, he just didn't agree, I looked at her preoccupied appearance before the holiday!"

The two chatted again and talked about love! Only then did they call each other.

Thinking about the situation of Li Xiaohui that Cheng Ziying told him; Yue Haohan thought, what can be the matter? What happened? Didn't Xiaohui work as a tutor in Jianghan? I thought about it and went home.

In the summer, Li Xiaohui in Jianghan really has a situation; Before the holidays, with the help of a fellow villager in the medical school; Li Xiaohui found a part-time job as a tutor. Tutoring children for four hours a day, giving 500 yuan a month; The salary of 500 yuan is very big for Li Xiaohui, and 500 yuan is almost Li Xiaohui's living expenses for a semester!

Li Xiaohui is very strong; If you don't go home in the summer, firstly, considering that after going home, the round-trip expenses will cost a lot, and secondly, considering that you can work in Jianghan to earn some living expenses for the next semester; In the past few years in college, Li Xiaohui was very frugal, and every time he counted the money and lived a dime; In fact, Li Xiaohui is a very bold person in his bones; Cheng Ziying and Huang Yaru saw that Li Xiaohui was so thrifty, they didn't dare to fight every time, most of the time they just served white rice with pickles, and dealt with a meal; A few people ordered more meals from time to time, and then said that they couldn't eat, so they asked Li Xiaohui to help solve it. In fact, Li Xiaohui knew in his heart that Cheng Ziying and the others were afraid of hurting their self-esteem, and they wanted to help themselves, so they deliberately said that; Every time Li Xiaohui received the kindness, it was nothing in person; I don't know how many tears were shed behind my back. When he was alone, Li Xiaohui secretly swore from time to time that he would definitely mix up and get ahead in the future. I will never go back to that ravine!

Li Xiaohui's home, in a remote mountain village in western Sichuan Province, takes more than five hours to get to the town by car from the county seat, and then has to walk more than three hours to get home.

Li Xiaohui's six brothers and sisters; Her brother is only two years older than her, and she has three younger sisters and a younger brother. Li Xiaohui has been smart and clever since she was a child, and when she went to school, she always worked hard, and her brother went to school for her, but he has not found a cousin until now; The whole person is tired like a little old man; My parents have been in poor health all the year round, my mother has inconvenient legs and feet, and she has suffered from polio since she was a child, leaving sequelae, and my father has an asthma problem; The family is supported by his brother alone; The younger siblings are younger and are all studying; The younger siblings went to school, and it was Li Xiaohui's strong insistence that their parents agreed.

After the college entrance examination that year, when they got the admission letter from Jianghan University, the whole family was really happy for a while; Li Xiaohui was the first student from a major university in their small mountain village in decades; Parents and siblings also felt a lot of grace on their faces in the whole village, and they also felt that they had straightened up in front of people. But when the short excitement is over, calm down, the whole family begins to worry again, what about tuition? What about living expenses for a few years? In the end, the honest brother was ruthless, took out the money he had saved for a few years and said: "Little sister, you can go to college with peace of mind, brother, don't want this cousin, wait for you to come out; I'm helping my brother get a guest! ”

With the money that her brother has saved in the past few years, Li Xiaohui cried, that night she pillowed the money wrapped in the three layers of her brother and the outer three layers, thinking about crying for a while, and thinking about it after crying for a while, she couldn't wait to tear up her admission letter!

When she arrived at the beginning of her freshman year, the whole family kept sending her to the town, and after Li Xiaohui got in the car, he looked through the window and told his parents and brother that no matter how difficult it was, they should let their younger brothers and sisters study; If you don't study, how can you change your fate in the future; When I graduate, everything will be fine, and I will continue to support my younger siblings.

In fact, after Li Xiaohui met Liu Hongshan, Liu Hongshan's love for himself, of course Li Xiaohui knew it, and Li Xiaohui also had a lot of feelings for Liu Hongshan; But the conditions of Liu Hongshan's family are similar to his own, Li Xiaohui didn't want to drag Liu Hongshan down, and he didn't want Liu Hongshan to drag himself down, so he rejected Liu Hongshan again and again; Li Xiaohui vowed to get ahead! You have to mix it up, so she still works hard in school.

At the beginning of the summer vacation, when Li Xiaohui sent Cheng Ziying, Huang Yaru and others away, he and Wu Meixia stayed at school for one night; The next day, Wu Meixia went to Wang Wenbin's house with Wang Wenbin. Li Xiaohui followed the address of the tutor he provided to his fellow medical schoolman, and after changing buses several times, he arrived in Wangjiang District of Jianghan City.

After arriving at the place, Li Xiaohui looked at it, this is the family area of the Provincial Department of Education, and according to the unit number, he found the family's home; After a few gentle knocks, a young woman in her thirties, not tall, and a little fat, opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Li Xiaohui said timidly: "Is your family in need of a tutor?" ”

The woman said, "It's Xiao Li, come in!" It's officially a holiday today? ”

Li Xiaohui said: "Yes! So saying, he changed his shoes at the door, and followed the young woman into the drawing-room; When I arrived in the living room, I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in the living room, watching a TV program playing on a 21-inch large color TV; After sitting down, the hostess gave Li Xiaohui a cup of tea, put it on the coffee table, and then said to the child: "Turn off the TV" This is the teacher you invited, you should watch less TV in the future, and take advantage of the holiday to make up for the classes you pulled down.

The hostess's name is Tian Xiao, the name is very good, but the person is slightly chubby, in her 30s, only 156 tall, and there are slight freckles around the eyes on her face; Tian Xiao works in the finance department of the Provincial Department of Culture. The man's name is Fang Junda; He served as the deputy director of the Provincial Department of Education's 'College Graduates Allocation Office'; the little girl named Fang Xinyu looked very cute and smart, and she should be in the third year of junior high school in the fall; Tian Xiao asked for leave at home today to wait for Li Xiaohui's arrival. After Tian Xiao briefly introduced the situation at home and the situation of the children; said hello to Li Xiaohui and went out.

Li Xiaohui went to the study with Fang Xinyu; Fang Xinyu's house is a three-bedroom structure; After entering the door, there is the living room, opposite to which are three rooms, with bedrooms on either side and a study in the middle. After arriving at the study, Li Xiaohui inquired in detail about Fang Xinyu's study, Fang Xinyu was mainly poor in mathematics and English; usually study, Fang Junda and Tian Xiao rarely care; The child is about to reach the third grade of junior high school, looking at the child's learning, Fang Junda and his wife are in a hurry, so they use this summer vacation to hire a tutor for Fang Xinyu to make up for mathematics and English.

After learning about Fang Xinyu's learning situation, Li Xiaohui found Fang Xinyu's math textbook and English textbook, gave her a few math problems and a few English questions, and asked Fang Xinyu to complete them independently; Li Xiaohui wanted to see what Fang Xinyu really was, and then formulate a counseling plan for this child.

After more than an hour, Fang Xinyu showed the finished questions to Li Xiaohui, Li Xiaohui looked at it, and felt that the child's foundation was okay in English, and the four math questions were of general difficulty, and Fang Xinyu only did two; One of them was wrong.
