Chapter 194: Coarse Tea and Light Rice
"TiyΓ¬?" Ye Man was also a little stunned by Ye Xuan's sudden question, and looked at Ye Xuan suspiciously, "What, Ah Xuan, you can just say something directly." β
"Then I'll be blunt!" Hearing Ye Man's words, Ye Xuan turned his head and glanced at the environment of the attic and rooftop, and then turned around and said, "Brother Qian, I see that it is not very convenient for you to teach boxing here, you say, how about the two of us open a martial arts gym together?" β
Although before meeting Ip Man, Ye Xuan already had the idea of wanting to reopen the Sun Martial Arts Gym, but that idea was not mature, and the purpose was just to give himself a good name for participating in the "Western Boxing Tournament" held by the British colonial government not long after, but he was also worried that if he left this movie world, what would happen after he reopened the Sun Martial Arts Gym, and Cui'er's future life, these were not issues that he could ignore.
After meeting Ip Man, he suddenly had the idea of opening a martial arts gym with Ip Man in his mind, and he still believed in Ip Man's character very much, even if he left the movie world because of the completion of the system task, but the Ip Man who stayed was enough to solve the problem of the decline of the martial arts gym and Cui'er's future life.
"This ......" Ye Man was a little overwhelmed by Ye Xuan's sudden suggestion, and after muttering for a while, he finally shook his head and said, "Ah Xuan, I need to think about this matter." β
Ip Man did not have any intention of carrying forward Wing Chun this time, his original intention was just to subsidize some families. Originally, if Ye Xuan wanted to open a martial arts gym with him, he would definitely move to a better place than now, and there would be more apprentices and an increase in income, which would be a great thing for him. However, Ip Man didn't think about these, he just felt that he owed Ye Xuan too much favor, not only saved their family when the Japanese invaded, but also sent their family to Hong Kong safely when they were about to go to war with the Japanese. After careful study, Ye Xuan has saved their family several times, and now he is seeing that it is inconvenient for him to teach boxing, and he wants to come over to help him, such a kindness, Ye Man really doesn't know how to repay it.
Seeing Ye Man's eyes flickering, although Ye Xuan didn't know what he was worried about, Ye Man didn't explicitly refuse, nor did he force it, just nodded. began to talk to Ip Man about other things.
"Hello master! Hello Mrs. ......" The two chatted about the past for a while, and suddenly heard the shouts of people outside, Ye Xuan turned his head to look, and saw that Ye Man's wife Zhang Yongcheng was wearing a coarse cloth flower dress, with a big belly on her body, supporting her waist with one hand, and carrying a basket in the other, nodding and smiling with her apprentices, while walking in the direction of the next building.
"Ah Xuan, you guys sit down for a while." Hear movement outside. Ip Man also turned around and saw that it was his wife Zhang Yongcheng who brought him food, so he said something to Ye Xuan and walked out and walked next to Zhang Yongcheng. took the rice basket in Zhang Yongcheng's hand with one hand, and said with a smile: "You slow down, come, I'll take these." Yongcheng. Guess who's coming? β
Zhang Yongcheng was very surprised when he saw his husband's happy appearance, although he did not say anything since his husband fled from Foshan to Hong Kong. But she knew that he had been immersed in those things in Foshan back then, and that person's death had made him depressed all these years.
"Who's coming?" Zhang Yongcheng handed the things in his hand to his husband, and looked up into the attic, but because of the distance, he only saw that there seemed to be two people sitting in the attic, one large and one small, but their appearance was not clear.
"Slow down, go, you can go in and see for yourself." Finally, Ye Man sold Zhang Yongcheng this time, and walked in with Zhang Yongcheng with a smile.
Looking at his husband's appearance, Zhang Yongcheng was even more curious in his heart, so he let Ye Man hold him, and slowly walked to the attic with one hand on his waist.
As he slowly approached, looking at the person with his back to her, Zhang Yongcheng's brows frowned slightly, and his eyes flashed with a strange light, until the person turned his head, Zhang Yongcheng's eyes suddenly widened, his small mouth opened slightly, and he looked incredulous.
"Sister-in-law, long time no see!" Looking at Zhang Yongcheng's appearance, Ye Xuan got up with a smile and said hello.
"You, you're Ah Xuan?" For this person who saved his family, Zhang Yongcheng naturally couldn't forget it, but the person who was originally said to have died suddenly appeared in front of him, Zhang Yongcheng was naturally surprised and happy.
Ye Xuan smiled silently, just nodded.
"Okay, okay, Yongcheng, you're not mistaken, he is indeed Ah Xuan, come, you sit down, what do you have to say later." When Ye Man saw his wife's appearance, he also smiled slightly, but seeing that his wife was still sitting, Ye Man hurriedly put down his things and helped Zhang Yongcheng sit down.
Zhang Yongcheng was helped by Ip Man to sit down, and Zhang Yongcheng asked, "Ah Xuan, where have you been all these years, and why is there no news from you?" β
Seeing that Ye Xuan told him what he had just said to himself without a trace of reluctance, Ye Man had a smile on his face, took out the food and chopsticks from the rice basket and put them on the table one by one, and said, "Come, if you have something to say, let's talk about it later, eat first, eat first!" β
Compared with the first meal that Ye Xuan ate at Ye Wen's house, today's meal is relatively ordinary, and it can even be said to be simple, with only a small pot of rice, a scrambled egg and a fried green vegetable, no soup, replaced by a cup of tea.
"Coarse tea and light rice, Ah Xuan, don't dislike it." Ye Man smiled and took two bowls to help Ye Xuan and Cui'er fill a full bowl of rice, and there was not much left, so he and his wife filled about half a bowl alone.
Looking at the food on the table, thinking back to the past, Ye Xuan sighed in his heart, shook his head and smiled: "It's really polite to ask brother, now in this year, it's already good to have a bite to eat." β
Ye Xuan didn't pay too much attention to what he ate, he didn't refuse the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but he could also eat fine tea and light rice, not to mention that now Ye Man was still enthusiastic even though he was in such a difficult situation, how could he be so picky about fat and lose weight?
A few people ate and laughed, even though it was coarse tea and light rice, but the guests and hosts enjoyed it.
The meal was finished quickly, and the table was cleaned up by Zhang Yongcheng, Cui'er seemed to be more in love with Zhang Yongcheng, and was obediently helping Zhang Yongcheng wash with chopsticks, while Ye Xuan and Ye Man each moved a chair on the rooftop to watch the apprentices practice.
At this moment, three middle-aged men walked up from downstairs with fierce faces, glanced at a few disciples who were practicing, and asked loudly, "Who is Ip Man?" (To be continued......)
