Chapter 4 Boxing Gym
It wasn't until about seven o'clock in the evening that Grandpa came back from outside, and when he came back, his face was full of joy.
"Grandpa, what happened to you today so happy?"
Chen Xiu took over the coat that his grandfather had taken off, hung it on the coat hook behind the door, and asked with some curiosity.
It's the first time since he fell into the water that he has seen his grandfather so happy.
Chen Xiu asked as he beckoned his grandfather to come and sit down at the dining table, where dinner was already ready.
Dinner was naturally made by Chen Xiu, which was also one of the changes after he fused his memories.
In the past, he couldn't even use a rice cooker, let alone cook for his family.
Grandpa picked up the liquor on the table, poured it and said, "I went to see an old friend today, and asked him for your business." ”
It can be seen that grandpa is really in a good mood, and the wine in the bowl is poured more than usual.
"My business?" Chen Xiu was stunned, a little strange, "What's the matter with me?" ”
"Didn't you say you wanted to exercise, I was thinking that there was an old friend who happened to practice boxing, so I thought it would be better for you to practice boxing with him, which can also strengthen your body and have more masculinity."
Grandpa explained, picked up the bowl and took a sip of wine.
"Grandpa, you ......"
Only then did Chen Xiu understand what was going on, and he suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
In the past two days, he had mentioned to his grandfather about preparing to exercise, but he didn't expect his grandfather to take it so seriously, and he went to find him a master who practiced boxing.
But exercising and practicing boxing are not the same thing at all.
At least in Chen Xiu's opinion, the latter is useless at all.
What he needs is the kind of scientific way of exercising, not the kind of boring trick that is very backward and waiting to be eliminated at any time.
Not only does it have no effect, but it may also hurt your body.
Now that the Internet is developed, many things that used to be mysterious have been torn off the veil and revealed their original appearance, such as traditional martial arts.
With the overturning of one after another Chuanwu masters, Chuanwu has basically been equated with liars in the hearts of many people.
"My old friend is not an ordinary person, he has real kung fu." Grandpa didn't notice Chen Xiu's reaction and fell into memories alone.
"At that time, a group of us came to the Federation on a private boat, and someone was seriously ill on the way to the boat, and the snake head wanted to throw the patient off the ship, but he stood up and subdued the thugs of the snake head with hard work, and let the snake head take out medicine to treat people, so that we could get to the federal ...... safe and sound."
Grandpa digressed as he spoke, and began to tell the story of decades ago.
The old man is like this, when he is older, he likes to remember the things of his youth.
It wasn't the first time Chen Xiu had heard his grandfather say these things, but he didn't interrupt his grandfather and concentrated on being a listener.
Fortunately, Grandpa digressed for a while, and soon returned to the topic.
“…… Later, he opened a boxing gym, specializing in teaching people kung fu, right in Chinatown, and there were many posterity who practiced boxing behind him at that time! ”
"Before I went, I was worried that he would no longer teach people to practice boxing, but as soon as I went to see that he was still running a boxing gym, I asked him to ask for your business, and he was also very happy, and he agreed to it!"
"I should have come back a long time ago, but he pulled me and didn't let me go, so I stayed there and talked to him for a while, and if I hadn't insisted on coming back, he would have stayed there for a few days......"
Grandpa's face was red and he poured a sip of wine from time to time.
Chen Xiu originally planned to find some reason to dispel this idea from his grandfather, but seeing that his grandfather was so happy, he hesitated for a while and still didn't bring it up.
Grandpa put a lot of effort into him, and he really couldn't bear to go against the old man's kindness like this.
After dinner, grandpa was a little drunk, so Chen Xiu sent grandpa back to the room to rest first, and then went to the kitchen to wash the pots and dishes.
After washing the dishes and chopsticks, he went upstairs, turned on the computer, and looked up the relevant information of the brake coins on the Internet.
Although Chen Xiu already knew that there was no inevitable connection between experience points and Brake Coins, he only had this one clue available now, and he could only inquire in this regard.
It wasn't until after ten o'clock that he closed the computer and went to bed.
……
After the body has been upgraded and strengthened, even the quality of sleep has become much better.
Originally, these days, Chen Xiu would basically have some messy and strange dreams every night, but last night he didn't do so, and he slept very sweetly.
When I wake up in the morning, I am also very energetic.
Grandpa was not at home early in the morning and didn't know where to go, and there was breakfast prepared for him on the table.
It wasn't until he finished breakfast that he saw his grandfather rushing back from outside with a large convenience bag.
"Grandpa, where have you been?" Chen Xiu saw that his grandfather was a little struggling, so he hurriedly went up to help him pick up the bag, "What is in this bag?" ”
"I went to the farmer's supermarket early and bought something to keep and bring it later."
Grandpa sweated a lot, sat down and poured a cup of hot water and drank it.
Chen Xiu opened the bag and couldn't help but be taken aback.
I saw that there were pork, ham, a chicken, and two big black fish, the pork and ham looked like they were eight or nine catties, and the chicken was also fat and big, plus two big black fish, this bag added up to forty catties.
"Grandpa, what are you doing with so many things......
Chen Xiu looked at such a big bag in his hand and was a little puzzled.
"How can I not worship the master, this is the worship ceremony I prepared for you."
Grandpa smiled and said, "This is a tradition of our older generation, you grew up in the Federation, so you don't know. ”
"Okay."
Chen Xiu had heard of the tradition of apprenticeship, but he didn't know much about it.
Since Grandpa said so, he didn't ask any more.
"That old friend of mine is more stubborn than me, and he will definitely not be willing to charge your tuition at that time, so I bought some more things as a thank you gift."
Grandpa explained.
He went out early, on an empty stomach, and when he came back at this time, he had breakfast first, and after eating breakfast, he began to go out with Chen Xiu.
His old friend's gym was in Parari, the largest port city in Mincosa, the sixth largest city in the Union, and the largest economic center on the west coast of the Union, unlike ordinary cities like Tanar.
The distance between the city of Parari and the town of Ramo is not too far or close, almost three hours by car, and it takes half a day just to get back and forth.
To get from Ramo to Parari, you can take a long-distance bus to Tanar, but buses are expensive and there are only two buses a week.
Chen Xiu and his grandfather naturally couldn't take the bus, they had another way.
There is a large slaughterhouse in the town of Ramau, and the slaughterhouse pulls goods to the city of Parari every day, and the driver of the slaughterhouse, Ron, who is in charge of the delivery, is an acquaintance of his grandfather, and he can piggyback on the two of them to the city of Parari.
Yesterday Grandpa went to Parari in Ron's van.
They were also riding in Ron's car today.
Ron came quickly, and not long after his grandfather finished breakfast, his box cold chain truck stopped outside the gate of Chen Xiu's house.
"Ron, I'm going to trouble you again today."
Grandpa walked out with his things and greeted Ron from afar.
"Don't say that, Chen, there's no trouble or trouble, not to mention that you've helped me a lot, haven't you."
Ron stepped out of the car with a smile on his face, opened the compartment for Grandpa, and put the things in the cargo box.
Grandpa is kind and kind, and he often helps others, so he has a good relationship with many people in the town.
Chen Xiu closed the door and followed from behind, politely calling uncle.
Ron also greeted Chen Xiu warmly.
After loading everything into the car, the three of them got into the car, and with the sound of the car's engine, the truck slowly started and began to set off in the direction of the city of Parari.
The three-hour drive can be said to be very boring, of course, this is only for Chen Xiu, Ron and Grandpa chatted along the way.
Chen Xiu didn't know where the two of them came from to talk about so many topics.
He was so bored that he simply leaned against the window next to him and fell asleep, and although there were bumps from time to time, he fell asleep in a daze.
By the time Chen Xiu woke up, they had already arrived in Parari City.
……
After saying goodbye to Ron, they hailed another taxi to the gym.
As the only port city in Mincosa, the city of Parari is far more prosperous than Tannar, and it is home to more immigrants from other countries.
Chinese immigrants are a very large group here, and most of them gather in one area, forming a very distinctive Chinatown.
Grandpa's old friend's gym was in Chinatown.
When the taxi entered Chinatown, Chen Xiu felt as if he had arrived in another country in an instant, almost all the Chinese he saw along the way were black-haired and black-eyed Chinese, and all kinds of billboards on the roadside were mainly in Chinese, and the sense of existence of the Federation was suddenly reduced to a very weak level.
This made Chen Xiu, who had never seen these before, couldn't help but feel a little fresh.
Soon after, the taxi came to a shopping street and stopped in front of a courtyard.
The appearance of such a thing as a courtyard on the commercial street is really a bit incongruous, and Chen Xiu guessed that it may have been specially decorated in such a style outside.
After getting out of the taxi, Chen Xiu looked up at the top of the courtyard, where a plaque was hung with three big characters written on it - Five-shaped fist!
The door of the gym was open, and there was a faint sound of shouting from inside.
Chen Xiu carried something and walked into the boxing gym after his grandfather, and after entering the boxing gym, he realized that he had thought wrongly.
It's not that the outside is decorated in the style of a gatehouse, but this is indeed a gateyard.
It's really a yard.
This made Chen Xiu slightly stunned, he didn't know if the gym had real materials, but it was completely certain that the owner of the gym was very rich.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a large courtyard in a commercial street where every inch of land is valuable.
When Chen Xiu followed his grandfather in, there were several young people in practice clothes standing on the field in the middle of the courtyard, practicing their moves with a clear eye.
Not far in front of several young people, there was a rattan chaise longue, and an old man with gray hair was lying on it with a small teapot, drinking tea and watching those people practice martial arts.
And when Chen Xiu and his grandfather walked in, the old man noticed them immediately.
A happy smile suddenly appeared on the old man's nonchalant face, and he immediately stood up from the wicker chair.
When the old man stood up, Chen Xiu couldn't help but show a little surprise, because this old man was very tall, and the tallest of those young people were half a head shorter than him.
This old man is at least 1.85 meters tall, and may even be 1.9 meters.
It's hard to imagine that this is an old man in his eighties.
"Brother Chen, you have finally arrived, I have been waiting for you since the morning, and I have been looking forward to you coming!" The old man approached him, "This is your grandson, right?" Not bad! ”
The old man looked Chen Xiu up and down, his face full of kind and friendly smiles.
"Xiao Xiu, it's called Grandpa Zhou." Grandpa also smiled, and at the same time instructed Chen Xiudao.
"Grandpa Zhou." Chen Xiu greeted politely.
"Hahaha, no need to call, no need to call." The old man surnamed Zhou laughed, stretched out his hand sideways and beckoned inside, "Let's go, go in and drink tea." ”
Then he turned to the young man over there and shouted, "Hongyuan, come and help someone carry something." ”
An older young man came over and helped Chen Xiu carry the bag, and Chen Xiu thanked him.
Under the leadership of the old man surnamed Zhou, Chen Xiu and his grandfather came to the innermost room of the courtyard and sat down in the living room of the house.
After sitting down in the living room, the two old men began to talk.
While chatting, the two did not forget Chen Xiu, who was sitting on the side, and through the introduction of the old man, Chen Xiu knew that the relationship between the two was not as simple as his grandfather said.
Not only the old man is kind to his grandfather, but his grandfather is also kind to the old man.
Not long after he first arrived in the Federation, the old man quickly clashed with a local gang because of his hot temper, but was shot by the gang's gunmen, but luckily he didn't hit the vital part, so he ran out with a strong breath.
After running out, he soon fell unconscious on the street due to excessive blood loss, and it was his grandfather who picked him up and hid him, and when the gang was looking for him everywhere on the street, his grandfather took a huge risk to find a doctor for him and successfully rescued him.
It can be said that if it weren't for the grandfather's help, the old man's ending that night would have been put into a sack and thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
The two old men chatted very happily, and they chatted for more than an hour, and if it weren't for the young man named Hongyuan who came in and said that it was time to have lunch, they could continue to talk.
After listening to them talk for so long, Chen Xiu already knew that the old man's name was Zhou Boxiong.
