"Ah You, it's so early!" Seeing Zuo Xiaoright, Ip Man smiled.

There is no room for him not to laugh, since he received two years of tuition yesterday, his meagre life has improved a lot. When he handed over the money to his wife yesterday, he was very happy to see his wife's smiling face. Finally fulfilled the man's responsibility to provide for the family.

And it was the disciple in front of him who brought about the change, and Ip Man was a little grateful and happy.

Zuo Xiaoyou is very sympathetic to this man, the poor situation has forced a martial arts master to such a point, which is really the misfortune of the times.

"Master, morning." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled: "Master looks very good today." ”

"Really?" Ip Man smiled heartily: "TOEFL, TOEFL." ”

Whose blessing is it to whom? Tacit.

……

"We're Wing Chun! It's a combination of offense and defense. One attack and one blow is to knock down the opponent in the shortest time. ”

"Look, that's a stall."

"Even with the elimination of the fight, the Japanese word punch."

"Got it?"

“……”

Ip Man is a very competent teacher, very patient, and can teach things that he doesn't understand.

Zuo Xiaoyou has been running for more than ten years, and has met a lot of dragon and tiger martial artists in Hengdian, but he has learned some kung fu to strengthen his body. In addition, he came to this time and space to be ten years younger, which made his body reach its peak state, and the foundation was not bad in Ip Man's opinion, and he was very energetic in teaching.

It is rare for Zuo Xiaoyou to have the guidance of a famous teacher, and he is also very serious in learning. So the master was satisfied, the apprentice was satisfied, and in just a few hours, the relationship between the master and the apprentice became much closer.

Unknowingly, at noon, Zuo Xiaoyou was sweating profusely practicing the wooden stake, when a gentle but slightly heavy footstep came. Accompanied by a nice sound: "It's time to eat." ”

Zuo Xiaoyou stopped, turned his head to look, and saw a beautiful woman with a tall belly and a bulging belly carrying a wooden lunch box walking in.

It was her, Ip Man's wife, Zhang Yongcheng.

"Yongcheng, you're here!" Seeing his wife coming over with lunch, Ye Man was very happy, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the lunch box, but his mouth was reproaching: "I said I ate out at noon, why are you working so hard?" I'm convinced. ”

"Your first day disciple, I want to come and have a look." Zhang Yongcheng took everyone's beautiful gentle smile and turned his head to look left and right.

Zuo Xiaoyou swept across Zhang Yongcheng's face, and looked at Ye Man with some doubts.

Ye Man smiled: "Ah You, this is your master." ”

"Hello teacher." Zuo Xiaoyou hurriedly greeted: "I am Zuo Xiaoyou, Master's apprentice." ”

"I heard from your master yesterday." Zhang Yongcheng had a little gratitude in his eyes, and smiled: "Ah You, thank you." ”

"Thanks for what?" Left and right pretended to be confused.

Zhang Yongcheng took it seriously and said very sincerely: "Thank you for paying the tuition fees for two years at one time, this money has helped us a lot." ”

"Shi Niang's words are serious." Seeing that Zhang Yongcheng was also a sincere person, Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "No matter where you learn martial arts in any martial arts hall, you have to pay tuition." I once heard of Master's name in Foshan, and I knew how powerful Master was. So I paid so much tuition at one time, just to learn more kung fu from Master, and Master didn't need to thank me. ”

"Whether it's good or bad, we can tell." Zhang Yongcheng is everyone's best girl, empathetic, seeing that Zuo Xiaoyou doesn't want to say more, he doesn't say more, but silently keeps his good in mind.

"Let's eat!"

Ip Man stood up and rounded: "Eat first." Ah You, eat together. ”

"Okay." Zuo Xiaoyou didn't refuse, but when he saw that the meals brought out of the lunch box were all dry vegetarian dishes, with little oil and water.

"Master, Master, wait a minute." Left Xiaoright walked out of the storeroom.

"Ah You, where are you going?"

"I'm going to buy something." Left Xiaoright walked quickly off the rooftop.

Listening to the footsteps that were getting farther and farther away, Zhang Yongcheng said softly: "Ah You is tall, but he is a scholar, he should be a knowledgeable young master." ”

"Who knows!" Ip Man doesn't know much about Zuo Xiaoyou: "But Ah You is smart and has a peaceful temperament, which is very suitable for inheriting Chinese martial arts." ”

"Don't mention martial arts again, go wash your hands and eat."

"Listen to you."

Soon after.

"Master, Master." Left and right came back with a bunch of things. There is a roast goose, two live chickens, a basket of eggs, and some vegetables and fruits.

"Ah You, what are you?" Ip Man and Zhang Yongcheng were stunned.

"Roast goose is lunch, and these things are for the teacher's body." Zuo Xiaoyou put down the things, wiped the sweat, and said with a smile: "I see that the teacher's complexion is not very good, it should be caused by a long-term lack of nutrition." Usually it's fine, but now that Shiniang is pregnant, she should make up for it. Take these two chickens back and stew them, eat two eggs a day, and eat some vegetables and fruits every day. ”

"Ah You, you ......" Ip Man and Zhang Yongcheng were speechless with emotion, and Ip Man, as the head of the family, felt even more guilty about Zhang Yongcheng.

"Master, Master, don't say anything." Zuo Xiaoyou grinned: "It is natural for apprentices to respect their master and mother. Aren't you going to eat! I'm hungry. ”

Zhang Yongcheng looked at him and pursed his lips and smiled. Ip Man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Okay, eat, eat." ”

Ip Man and Zhang Yongcheng haven't eaten meat for a long time, thanks to the blessing of Zuo Xiaoright, most of this roast goose was directly wiped out by them, and the belly of the food was swollen. Zhang Yong's bulging abdomen looked even more round.

After the meal, Zuo Xiaoyou wanted to help Zhang Yongcheng clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but Zhang Yongcheng refused, saying that this was a woman's business, and men should not touch it. Ye Man also made a pot of tea and said, "Ah You, sit down and talk to the teacher." ”

"Yes, Master."

People in this period still retain most of the traditions, Zhang Yongcheng's virtuousness is very common in this era, but it is relatively rare for a man who loves his wife like Ip Man and falls under his wife. In Zuo Xiaoyou's opinion, a man like Ip Man can eat openly no matter what era he puts in, and there is no woman who doesn't like such a man.

"Ah You, drink tea."

"Master, I'll do it myself."

In the past, when Ip Man drank tea, he used porcelain cups, and the tea was also a good tea, even if it was not expensive, it was very particular. But now that life is compelling, you can only use glasses, and the tea is also cheap and inferior tea.

No one will laugh at it, because in these unfortunate times, the vast majority of people are about the same.

"Ah You, I see that you have a good degree of conversation, you should have read for a few years!" Ye Man held the teacup and asked with a smile.

Zuo Xiaoyou thought for a moment and said, "I've read it for fourteen years." ”

Two years in kindergarten, six years in elementary school, three years in junior high school, and three years in high school, a total of 14 years.

"Oh?" Ip Man was a little surprised: "After reading books for so many years? Is it at home or abroad? ”

"Domestic." Left small right road.

"It seems that you have a family background!"

In this era, education in China is still relatively backward. Those who can afford to read and read for more than ten years are almost all young masters of rich and noble families, and the most disadvantaged are also the children of the landlord's family, and they must be the landlords of the poetry and book heirlooms. Therefore, Ip Man deduced that Zuo Xiaoyou must be from a well-educated family.

Ip Man was also born in a son-in-law, and he lived in a private courtyard back then. Later, the Japanese army invaded China and took away his family's house as an office building, which shows how spacious and luxurious Ip Man's house is.

Now that he met a young man from a similar background to himself, whose temperament and personality were somewhat similar to his own, Ye Man was kind and asked, "Ah You, where are you from?" ”

"I'm from Beihe." Zuo Xiaoyou didn't explain anything, just simply answered the question, as for how to understand Ip Man? That's his business.

"In the land of Yan Zhao, there have been many generous and sad people since ancient times." Ip Man sighed with emotion: "No wonder Ah You, you are so tall and burly. ”

"Master, there are also a lot of short people in Beihe, but the proportion of tall people is higher than in the south. And there are also some tall people in the south, who can't tell where they are just by their figures. ”

"Uh......" Ye Man's face stiffened, and he coughed with embarrassment, and said: "Judging people by their appearance, losing Ziyu." Ah, you are right. ”

Ye Man hurriedly said, "Master, I didn't mean that......"

"I know." Ye Man waved his hand, as a generation of grandmasters, he still has this bearing: "Ah You, since you are from Beihe, why did you come to Xiangjiang?" ”

Zuo Xiaoyou was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "When my parents died, I left that sad place." ”

"Ah...... I'm sorry. "Ip Man is not used to comforting people, and he doesn't know what to say for a while.

"You, you, always ask about other people's sad things." Zhang Yongcheng walked over, first reproached Ip Man, and then looked at Zuo Xiaoyou, who bowed his head silently, with a bit of maternal brilliance and kindness, and said softly: "Ah You, people can't be resurrected after death, don't be too sad." If your parents had a spirit, they wouldn't want you to do that. ”

Zuo Xiaoyou was a little ashamed, he bowed his head not because he was sad, but because he lied and was embarrassed to see people.

Ip Man and Zhang Yongcheng have a very accurate impression of him, although he is already a thirty-year-old man, he still has a strong bookish atmosphere.

Proud and thin-skinned.

Fortunately, after receiving modernist education for many years, coupled with more than ten years of social experience, I don't feel that everything is inferior, only reading is high. But there will still be resistance to some faceless jobs.

To put it simply, it's a bit pretentious.

Hum chirped to deal with the past, Zuo Xiaoyou said that there was still something to do in the afternoon, and he didn't come to learn martial arts. Seeing that Zuo Xiaoyou didn't come, Ye Man simply locked the door and went home with Zhang Yongcheng with the pile of things.

In the next few days, Zuo Xiaoyou followed Ip Man to learn Wing Chun every day, and from time to time bought some food and clothing to honor his master and wife, which made Ip Man and Zhang Yongcheng very embarrassed, but they couldn't refuse, because these things were what their family needed. Thanks to the blessing of the left and the right, the life of Ip Man's family has been quite comfortable recently.

When the relationship is close, we must always recognize each other. After learning kung fu on this day, Zuo Xiaoyou went to Ip Man's house to recognize the door, and saw that the place where the master and his mother lived was very simple, and he was distressed. even dragged Ip Man's family of three to move to his house.

Ye Man and Zhang Yongcheng were embarrassed and refused again and again. But Zuo Xiaoyou said something, so that they had no excuse to refuse.

"Master, Master, the disciple has no relatives in the world, and the master will not abandon him and accept him as a disciple. As the saying goes: a teacher for one day, a father for life. Now that the master and the master are living in poverty, if the disciple is incapable, it will be fine, but the disciple's family has a spare house, how can they watch the master and the master suffer here? What's more, can the master and the mother bear to let the junior brother suffer with you? ”

Zuo Xiao and Right lifted Ye Zhun out, Ye Man and Zhang Yongcheng were silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

In this way, early the next morning, Ye Man, Zhang Yongcheng, Ye Zhun, and a family of three moved into Zuo Xiaoyou's house.
