Chapter Twenty-Eight: Practicing Martial Arts
Dong Zhihua took Zhang Jiujiu back home. Except for my sister who doesn't know her whereabouts. Everything has calmed down for the time being.
The day after I got home. Master took Zhang Jiujiu and asked me to meet the principal. For the question of how many grades should Zhang Jiujiu go to? But there was an argument.
According to Zhang Jiujiu's age. He should have been placed in the fourth grade. But Master felt that it was a waste of time. I want Zhang Jiujiu to be inserted directly into the sixth grade.
Two more months. It's time for the junior high school exam. The principal agreed. Let Zhang Jiujiu take the exam with his sixth-grade classmates.
If Zhang Jiujiu is looking for a long time, he can pass the exam. In other words, he can go directly to the first year of junior high school. This is hardly difficult for Zhang Jiujiu. His only weakness is that he doesn't speak English at all.
In the afternoon, Gu Komatsu came. Took the initiative to take on the responsibility of English tutor. Gu Xiaosong is an employee of a foreign company. I also worked as a tutor outside. Teach Zhang Jiujiu elementary English. Still no problem.
Zhang Jiujiu's master. In English. Couldn't have given more help. He studied under the God of Gambling from an early age. It is said that it is a gambling god, but it is actually a gambling stick. What a foreign language do you know?
But with the help of Gu Komatsu. In addition, Zhang Jiujiu himself has a flexible mind. General English should be fine.
Dong Zhihua insisted on giving Gu Xiaosong some tutoring fees. Gu Xiaosong did not agree. He already regarded Zhang Jiujiu as his brother. Besides, he's not bad for money.
Things were so happily decided. Gu Xiaosong stayed for dinner. Zhang Shuchun also came to his house after school.
Zhang Shuchun has been here several times. But there was no one at home. When he learned that Zhang Jiujiu's sister was arrested. Zhang Shuchun's heart was also very sad.
But even the Public Security Bureau can't do anything about it. He could only comfort Zhang Jiujiu and teach a few words. Zhang Jiujiu was still thinking about the loot they had before! Let Zhang Shuchun take it back.
Zhang Shuchun is especially the kind of person who loves money. He said those were all jokes and should not be taken seriously. Insist on not taking away snacks. knew that Zhang Jiujiu was going to school. Let's just say that this is a great gift to him.
Zhang Jiujiu jokingly said: "Just this little thing, or I won it, and you sent me away?" ”
The two have also been friends for many years. Naturally, it will not be unpleasant because of this little thing.
Zhang Jiujiu and Zhang Shuchun went to the same school. He took on the role of big brother. But this little guy seems to be in the same grade as himself. Zhang Shuchun was envious.
Zhang Jiujiu also saw the little fat man. I also saw the little girl that day. The little fat man has been pestering him.
"I inadvertently became a matchmaker." Zhang Jiujiu secretly thought so.
Zhang Jiujiu's study life soon got on the right track. Because it's a graduating class. Classes are busy. There is also a lot of homework. It's going to be busy until late every day. On Sundays, I had to follow Gu Xiaosong to learn English.
But Zhang Jiujiu was in pain and happy. He likes the feeling of playing with his friends. I like the atmosphere where my classmates study together. I prefer the teacher to lecture in the front. Many of the teachers are little beauties.
Two months later, Zhang Jiujiu took the exam. I got my wish and went to junior high school. The holidays are also coming.
Life in the graduating class is stressful. One took a vacation down. Zhang Jiujiu didn't know what to do. It's hanging out every day again.
One morning he came to People's Park. I saw an old man with a white beard. I was doing tai chi there. He also stepped in. I followed the comparison a few times, well, it felt quite interesting.
"Would you like to learn martial arts from me?" The old man looked at the child and asked.
"What did you say?" Zhang Jiujiu really didn't hear what the old man said.
"I mean, do you want to learn martial arts?" The old man repeated.
"I want to learn, what's wrong? Will you teach me? Zhang Jiujiu asked with big eyes flashing.
"Then it's up to you to learn or not. Practicing is very hard. Can you endure hardship? Lao Cao asked again.
"Suffering? What kind of hardship do you endure? Zhang Jiujiu didn't really understand.
"To endure hardship is to persevere every day. And you have to push yourself to the limit. Can you hold on? The old man asked further.
"I should be able to hold on. But I still have to go to school! It's the holidays, and I can come and learn from you every day. Zhang Jiujiu thought for a long time and said.
"It's okay if you don't come to school when you go to school? Just practice for an hour every day. The old man said.
"It's that simple?" Zhang Jiujiu couldn't believe it at all. There is also a heroic dream in his heart. That is to fight all over the world invincible. An hour a day can be practiced to become invincible in the world. He didn't dare to believe his ears. I didn't believe what the old man said.
"I see that your body is very well coordinated. And the brain is good. The comprehension ability is also very strong. I think you're a good material for martial arts. I'm willing to teach you. Come and learn from me in the future! I come to this park every morning to do tai chi. The old man smiled slightly, noncommittal.
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to my master. I was afraid that he would let me study at home. Zhang Jiujiu did not agree immediately.
"You already have a master? Then how do I feel like you don't know martial arts? The old man asked.
"My master doesn't teach me martial arts. He only taught me knowledge. "Zhang Jiujiu didn't figure out what the difference between this master and that master was? He knew that he had a master, but he didn't know what the word master was for.
"What's your master's name?" The old man asked.
"And what's your name?" Zhang Jiujiu didn't answer, but asked.
"I asked you first, you have to answer first." The old man also came to be childish.
"Okay, I'll tell you first, but you'll have to tell me, okay?" Zhang Jiujiu compromised.
"Okay, let's talk first!" The old man didn't say anything.
"My master's name is Dong Zhihua. It's your turn to tell me. Zhang Jiujiu said.
"Dong Zhihua? Is it Dong Zhihua who opened an antique shop? The old man asked, pinching his gray beard.
"Do you know my master?" Zhang Jiujiu felt very strange. His master was very low-key. Outsiders are rarely recognized.
"That stubborn old man. Of course I do! Don't tell him my name. Otherwise, he wouldn't let Niu learn martial arts from me. The old man waved his hand and said with a wry smile.
"Why? Did you two have a holiday? Zhang Jiujiu was even more puzzled.
"Children don't understand, don't ask. You'll find out later. The old man said with some displeasure. Come and learn whenever you have time! If your master doesn't agree, I can't help it. ”
"Oh, well! I try to come over. "Zhang Jiujiu still wants to learn martial arts. It's not like he hasn't fought with others. And always suffer. He thought that if he learned martial arts. See who dares to do it with themselves.
The old man seemed to have guessed what was on his mind. He admonished: "The purpose of learning martial arts is to strengthen the body. And not to bully others. You can fight unevenly, hoe the strong and help the weak. But you can't bully the weak. If you don't agree with that. Don't learn from me. ”
The old man is very much about a person's character. I am afraid that Zhang Jiujiu will learn martial arts and do bad things.
"I don't bully the weak. I want to be a martial arts star. Like Bruce Lee. Break out of Asia and go to the world. Zhang Jiujiu learned Bruce Lee's movements.
"Your ambitions are not small. I also want to rush to the world. Let's learn from me for two days! See if you can persevere? ”
