Chapter 1 Picking up a grandfather
At the end of August, in the south of the Yangtze River, although the season has passed the heat, the day is still very hot, even in the morning when the sky is just bright, the temperature is still around 30 degrees Celsius, as long as people exercise, they must be sweating. At this time, there were already people on the road who were exercising while it was cool, and there were people who picked vegetables and went into the city to sell them.
Li Wuyang runs twice a day in the morning and evening, at 5:30 in the morning in spring, summer and autumn, and at 6 o'clock in winter. From the door of the house to the bus terminal at the junction of urban and rural areas, it is exactly two and a half kilometers, five kilometers back and forth, and when I was a child, my uncle took me to run, and my uncle was alone after he went to college. It was a little tiring to run at first, but now it can only be regarded as a warm-up.
The road surface is uneven, but once you are familiar with running, you can always pick a place to put your feet. The road is a mechanized road, three or four meters wide, and it is usually only a tractor, bicycle, motorcycle, etc. It's 1994, and there are a lot of cars in the city, so much that there are always traffic jams and roads have to be built, but in this mountain village on the edge of the city, except for a few agricultural vehicles, cars are still rare.
Occasionally, there were one or two frog chirps, and there were no people on the road, and there were some tall camphor trees, neem trees, ghost willow trees, etc., and the leaves were motionless in the morning light. The treeless roadside was covered with dense weeds and sparkling dewdrops. Suddenly, Li Wuyang found a person lying in the grass in the roadside drainage ditch, so he hurried over to look. Helping the poor and helping those in need is the ancestral training of the Li family, if the elders know that he is also like the world, he is indifferent to others, and he will be trained when he goes back. At that time, there weren't too many things that were exposed to save people, and there was no line of defense, so I didn't have to think about it to save people.
The man lying in the grass was wearing a white short-sleeved sports top on the top, dark blue tracksuit trousers on the bottom, and a pair of leather sandals on his feet. As soon as I got closer, I smelled a strong smell of alcohol. Originally, he was going to try whether this person was dead or alive, but this is good, and he didn't need to try to know that Lu Dao was a drunken person. He went up and pushed the man's arm, and asked loudly, "Master, why are you sleeping here?" ”
The habits of this city, people who don't know or people who don't know what to call it, the best thing is to call it a master, everyone is used to this, and it is not a real master who learns art. Just like in the early years, everyone called them comrades.
"It's cooler here, don't touch me." The man grunted, rolled over and lay on his back to sleep.
Only then can Li Wuyang be able to auspicious this person in all directions. The sportswear on his body is all Adi brand, and the small bag that was pressed under him just now is also from Jinli. The face and arms are wheat-colored, and the thick board head is interspersed with silver threads. He looks like he's in his fifties, and he doesn't look like a homeless person.
Li Wuyang was a little troubled. The education I received since I was a child is to learn from Lei Feng and do good deeds. Grandma and parents also instilled some good deeds and accumulate virtue, people don't know God knows. For drunk people, the best way is to send them to the hospital to hang water, but now they are out for a run, penniless. It's definitely impossible to leave it alone, so take it home!
Li Wuyang picked up the person, took the small bag and walked home. More than two kilometers of road and more than 100 pounds of people are not the same thing to him who has been training for more than ten years. But when I got home, I put him in my bed and lay down, and I didn't have a dry yarn on my body, and it was too hot. It's also the end of the warm-up.
Next is the compulsory homework every day. The stone locks and barbells in the front lawn of the house were played all over again, and the sweaty soybeans on the head and body fell into the dirt in bunches. Then I came to the back of the house and meditated on the big stone of four square meters.
His father was already sitting on the stone, and Li Wuyang didn't alarm him, so he sat straight up and began to vomit luck. He started exercising at the age of 4 and was taught by his father when he was 5 years old. After more than ten years of practice, Li Wuyang basically didn't feel anything. Over the years, my father has often asked and taught, but he can't do it. My grandfather passed away early, and my father was only fourteen or fifteen years old at that time, and he didn't learn everything, such as fists and feet, and he didn't have a complete set of basic things. Li Wuyang also learned a little, his body is strong, if he meets an expert, it will not be enough to see, let alone fight with people. After practicing for an hour and seeing that it was almost over, I went back to the house to take a shower and prepare for breakfast. Except for the four years when I went to college and lived on campus, I basically did this every day.
When I got dressed and came out, I saw the man who had come back from the toilet in the morning.
"Uncle, why did you get up? Why don't you go back to sleep! Li Wuyang greeted politely.
"Enough sleep. Come, young man, and I'll see how you're doing." As he spoke, the man pulled Li Wuyang to the floor in front of the house. looked at him from top to bottom and bottom to top a few times, and a pair of big hands pinched and touched Li Wuyang's body again, not even letting go of his fingers and toes, and didn't say anything.
Just as Wuyang's mother called for dinner, the man asked if there was any wine. Wuyang was happy when he heard it: "There is a lot of wine, did the uncle wake up from the wine last night?" ”
"It's okay, I can't drink for dinner. By the way, my surname is Zhang, and you will be called Grandpa Zhang in the future! ”
"Am you mistaken? Call grandpa? I think the most I call Uncle is about the same. Li Wuyang said with a smile, looking at the person in front of him, it seemed that he was not a few years older than his father.
"Haluha, do you know how old I am? Speaking out scares you to death. I was born in the fifth year of the Republic of China, do you want to see my ID card? Don't go get the wine yet. Grandpa Zhang saw Li Wuyang stunned there and urged him.
"Good fellow, the fifth year of the Republic of China, wasn't that 1916? People who are almost eighty, how can they not look old like this, they must have kung fu? "Li Wuyang has also read a few martial arts novels, but he can't tell if it's true or not. Besides, when a guest comes to drink, it's impossible not to take it out.
walked to the utility room and hugged a ten-pound glass bottle. My father is also a lover of wine, and my grandmother and mother sometimes come to have a cup or two glasses, so the family is full of grain wine, rice wine, bayberry wine or something, filled with dozens of large and small glass bottles, clay pots, a few wooden shelves in the utility room, and a few large clay pots that can hold more than 50 catties on the ground, which are full of wine.
When I came to the kitchen, my parents were talking to Old Man Zhang. Li Wuyang found two cups, the kind that was half a catty, poured half a cup for his father, and the old man Zhang filled the cups and sat down to eat. The Li family's breakfast is very simple, one bowl of noodles per person, a plate of roasted chili peppers and a plate of peanuts on the table.
Grandpa Zhang took a sip of wine and chatted with the Li family while eating peanuts, asking about their surnames and ages, work units and positions, and family and relative relationships.
Then he reported to his home, "My family is in the suburbs of Tanzhou, the provincial capital, less than two hundred miles away from here, called Zhangjiawan, my wife has passed away, and there are a lot of children and descendants, all of whom are busy with their own affairs, and Wuyang will definitely have a chance to go in the future." ”
After drinking the wine in the cup, Wuyang hurriedly filled it.
Grandpa Zhang said again: "Just now I saw that this kid has a wonderful root, has practiced martial arts for many years, has a certain foundation, graduated from college, knows books and etiquette, and what is even more rare is that he has compassion and good heart, this is the basic premise for me to measure a person, I want to take him for a period of time, for a period of five years." ”
"Where is Uncle Zhang going to let Xiao Wu develop?" Father Li Shihua asked.
"The first is to practice martial arts, open up the meridians, practice fists and feet, of course, not to make him a martial arts master, just be able to protect himself at a critical time, if he wants to continue to practice, he will continue to practice. Originally, it was a little late to practice martial arts at this age, but he practiced since he was a child, and although he was not introduced to martial arts, his body was very good. ”
After Grandpa Zhang finished speaking, he drank wine, ate peanuts and roasted peppers.
Li Shihua said: "What career is the old man going to let him do?" ”
Grandpa Zhang said: "It doesn't matter what career you do in the future. People who practice martial arts pay the most attention to character, and if I find that Xiao Wu's character is lacking in the future, then I will definitely abandon it like a piece of paper; Secondly, I want to take him around to learn about the society and the customs of various places. Of course, it's not to go to the rivers and lakes, and I will do chivalrous things when I encounter them, but I won't do them deliberately. I mainly focus on legal business, and I mainly focus on circulation, but I can also take into account entities. In short, what to make money and do what, resolutely do not do what the law prohibits. I'm also old, and I don't want anything else in this life, but I still have a goal that has not been achieved, and I want Wuyang to help me achieve my goal in life as soon as possible. ”
"Grandpa Zhang, you are so old, you still have a goal!" Wuyang asked.
"Yes." Old man Zhang took another sip of wine and ate a few peanuts, and Li Wuyang found that the cup had bottomed out, so he quickly filled it up again.
"Does DuPont know what to do? The company is now in decline, but the land and trees it bought in its heyday are still very well maintained. That's the one thing I want to do, are you interested in doing it with me? ”
"Good! I'll do it with Grandpa Zhang. Originally, the practice of martial arts was Li Wuyang's favorite, and after more than ten years of unremitting martial arts, it was difficult to persevere if there was little interest. Although I haven't done business before, it's not necessarily bad to give it a try.
"Uncle Zhang, as far as my family's conditions are concerned, I wonder if I can meet your requirements?" Mother Luo Hongying asked very tactfully, in fact, she asked the old man Zhang what conditions he had, and of course the old man understood.
"I don't ask you for anything, I don't want you to pay, and I don't want you to delay your work." Grandpa Zhang said.
Luo Hongying said: "There is nothing to delay in work, I am retired, his father is also in his 50s, he is old in the unit, and the leader has not arranged any heavy work." Money is easy to say, as long as we can get it, we won't be stingy. ”
"That's fine. As the saying goes: no one is good for a thousand days, no flower is red for a hundred days, I will stay in your house for a long time in the future, and it is inevitable that some discordant things will happen, so I think let's go first and then the villain. Grandpa Zhang said.
Father Li Shihua said: "Old man, don't hesitate to say anything you want. ”
"Does my arrangement conflict with your expectations for your child?"
Luo Hongying said with a smile: "What we ask our children is to become a self-reliant worker. The vast majority of people in the world are like this, we don't have the ability to do it ourselves, and we can't ask too much of our children. His uncle wanted him to take the civil service exam, and he began to inculcate this kind of thinking a few years ago, and the child was also willing, if he had something to do now, it would be better not to squeeze the single-plank bridge. ”
Li Shihua also said: "Even if you practice martial arts, you can also take the civil service exam, and as for planting trees, as long as you have money, you can arrange for others to do it." With so many units and departments, isn't the leader the commander? ”
Grandpa Zhang took a sip of wine, "If you think like this, there is no problem." I don't know how long I can live, but I guess 5 years should be fine. In order to ensure that after 5 years, I will give you a Wuyang that is excellent in all aspects, I have 4 requirements, and you must remember. ”
"Old man, you said, if you can't do it, we'll discuss it with you."
Grandpa Zhang said: "First, you parents, his grandmother and other relatives can't interfere with him, you don't arrange what he should do or what he shouldn't do, everything is arranged by me; Second, you can't reach out to Xiao Wu to ask for money and things, but you should still accept the money and things that Xiao Wu handed back and the help to the family, just don't publicize it. Can it be done? ”
Grandpa Zhang looked at Li's father and Li's mother. Seeing the two nodding, he said: "Third, as long as I am in your Li family, I must prepare enough wine, it doesn't have to be too good, as long as it is authentic grain wine and rice wine, the amount is seven catties of grain wine or ten catties of rice wine every day." Don't look at me like this, my kung fu can only be practiced by drinking, and if you drink too much, of course you will get drunk, but it will not hurt your liver. By the way, I'll pay for the wine myself, otherwise I won't be poor in drinking! ”
"How can I ask you to pay for it." Li Shihua hurriedly said.
"The fourth is that I teach Xiaowu Kung Fu, logically speaking, it should be a master, but I can't call it a master, my eldest grandson is over 30 years old, otherwise I will have to call Uncle Xiaowu in the future! So I'll call it grandpa in the future, okay? ”
"No problem, you're a grandfather by age." Li Shihua said.
Luo Hongying said: "Grandpa Zhang, Wuyang is 22 years old, and he doesn't even have a girlfriend, in the past few years that you have taken him, can he talk about marriage?" ”
Grandpa Zhang smiled: "I won't interfere in this matter, I'm afraid that you will interfere as parents." ”
Luo Hongying smiled and said: "The child is an adult, and we have no reason to interfere." Of course, the daughter-in-law who got back had to eat with us in the same pot after all, and the nose was not the nose and the eyes were not the eyes, and everyone was not comfortable. ”
Grandpa Zhang said: "When I said that you interfered, I didn't mean this aspect. Wuyang is so tall and handsome, there must be a lot of girls who have taken a fancy to him, so I'm worried that you're a mother-in-law. When the time comes, this one is good, that one is also suitable, and if you can't let go of any of them, you will hate your son less. ”
Luo Hongying smiled and said, "This is the matter of you, the ancestor, and his father and I will not interfere." ”
"Listen to me. Now some rich bosses have a wife and a stack of lovers? Our Wuyang is not in the officialdom, and finding a few more will not hinder other people's affairs, it doesn't matter. ”
Luo Hongying said: "Grandpa Zhang, three women in one play, in this way, it will not be an endless quarrel at that time." ”
"We may not be able to quarrel, we will definitely be able to make money, and when we have money, we will buy a house for them alone, if we don't live together, where can we quarrel? Of course, the most important thing is that there are two aspects, one is the character of these girls, they have good character, they are big, they are together every day, they are humble in everything, they will not quarrel, if they are born jealous, unless they are sent to a desert island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean; The second is that Wuyang checks by himself, and the jealous woman can't ask for it, other girls, make it clear in advance, and a bowl of water will be flat afterwards, won't the world be peaceful? ”
Wuyang heard the elders talking about this kind of thing, so he got up and packed up his dishes and chopsticks and left the kitchen.
Li Shihua said: "Old man, it's best not to let this kind of thing happen. Wuyang, this kid has been well-behaved and obedient since he was a child, if you restrict him, he won't mess around. If we all let it go, it won't end. ”
Grandpa Zhang said: "I mainly teach him to practice martial arts, take him to do business, and then open a manor, plant trees, and other things, you as parents, try to take care of it, I really can't manage it, I won't be tyrannical, offending people, I don't want to come forward." ”
Luo Hongying said: "If this is the case, how can it be good? ”
Li Shihua said: "The thing that has no shadow is that I like to worry about it." In the future, if this is the case, the family will live in harmony, which is not a choice, but if it doesn't work, it will be beaten with a big stick. ”
Luo Hongying said: "It's up to you." Hurry up and finish eating and go to work, it's time. Grandpa Zhang, you drink slowly, we are not in a hurry, I usually play mahjong in addition to growing vegetables and raising fish, and I don't go in the morning. Now that Wuyang is at home, he has taken over the things of growing vegetables and raising fish, and I will clean up the room for you. You didn't have a change of clothes, so I asked Wuyang to buy them back. ”
Grandpa Zhang smiled: "I've delayed your mahjong kung fu, I'm sorry, I slept well there, Wuyang has to take me back, and the grandfather who picked it up is also a grandfather!" ”
Grandpa Zhang drank the fourth glass of wine poured by Li Wuyang, ate the noodles in a few bites, and got up to leave the table.
Li's mother cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Li's father drove a motorcycle to work. Li Wuyang accompanied the old man to walk outside the house.
This is an old house with stone walls and green tiles, with stone mountains on the right and right sides of the front and back, and the house is in the middle of the pass. The main entrance faces a small ridge that connects the two rocky mountains, and only the left side leading to the road is a vegetable field, and beyond the vegetable field is the farmland of the village.
A piece of soil in front of the gate, the soil flat has more than 10 acres of appearance, it is chiseled to the high place of the stone to fill in the low place to make it, Wuyang when he was a child to see the family also asked someone to chisel the stone, in recent years the uncle has sent the engineering team to chisel for a period of time, so there is such a big. In the middle of the soil is a fish pond, 5 or 6 acres of water surface, and in the early years, my uncle's people dug up the mud in the fish pond and spread it under the tree.
Between the foot of the stone mountain and the fish pond, in addition to leaving a road, there are some tall trees planted in other places, including camphor trees, mulberry trees, chestnut, persimmon, grapefruit, orange, orange, pomegranate and other fruit trees, the trees are full of fruit, and it is almost time to ripen. There are also some osmanthus trees dotted around, with green and somewhat blackened leaves, showing vigorous vitality.
To the left of the gate of the house, along the fish pond leading to the vegetable field is a dirt road, extending forward on the flatter ground, it is connected to the machine farming road, about 6 or 700 meters away at the foot of the stone mountain, there is a neighbor's house, the sound of chickens and dogs.
Further out, the left hand is to go to the village, inside is the depths of the mountain, the houses of the villagers are built on the edge of the stone mountain, and the fields and land are in the middle of the stone mountain. Their village is not only an administrative village, but also a natural village, with an area of tens of thousands of acres, only 2,000 acres of arable land, and a population of only about 1,000 people.
Strictly speaking, Wuyang and his parents cannot be regarded as people in the village, and their hukou is not in the village. Only his grandmother has a hukou in the village. But the house belongs to theirs, and no one dares to make irresponsible comments.
The grandfather and grandson pointed and pointed, discussing while introducing. When he came to the house, the big stone immediately attracted the old man's eyeballs. Li Wuyang said: "This is where I meditate and practice qi with my father. ”
"Let's all sit down, you practice and show me." The stone is more than 1 meter high, and the old man's action of stepping up is not inferior to that of Li Wuyang.
"Grandpa, please!" Li Wuyang sat down, the five mountains were facing the sky, the luck dantian, and the qi was raised according to the methods and acupuncture points taught by his father. The old man sat on his right side with his legs folded horizontally, his right hand pressed into a palm on his lower abdomen, and his left hand pressed on his back.
As always, Li Wuyang soon felt that a mass of air in the dantian was turning, turning faster and faster, and the amount of force was getting bigger and bigger. When he reined in this air flow and headed towards the meridians, the air flow suddenly scurried in the dantian, and soon became more and more scattered and weaker, and then everything returned to calm, and he was also sweating profusely and panting.
