XXIII. Sleep
"No, what you said before is true? You really haven't practiced every day since you go back?! ”
Hearing Chen Qing's words, Zhuang Zhiqiang's eyes suddenly widened, "How is this possible?!" ”
This subverted his cognition a bit, isn't kung fu hard to become stronger? How can the other party be stronger than the rest of them in a month without practice?!
He subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to refute with his own cognition.
After Chen Qing saw it, he interrupted in time: "If you have any additional practice, you won't know if you go to your house tonight." ”
“…… All right. ”
Zhuang Zhiqiang, who was blocked from speaking, had to give up.
After that, the two walked towards Nanba District, where Chen Qing's family rented.
Because of the delay in the alley, when they reached the three-story old cement house rented by Chen Qing's family, it was already dark.
"Your house is okay, although the building is a little old, but it's quite big."
Standing downstairs, Zhuang Zhiqiang looked at the three-story old cement building with the lights on and said.
Chen Qing replied lightly: "The second floor is counted from the right-hand side, the room in the third door is my house, this building belongs to someone else's, and all the houses you see with lights on are other tenants." ”
“……”
Zhuang Zhiqiang suddenly looked embarrassed.
Chen Qing didn't think anything, he said: "You wait for me downstairs, I'll go up and say something, and then I'll come down and go to your house together." ”
"Okay."
Zhuang Zhiqiang replied simply.
After listening to Chen Qing's words, he had no desire to explore this building at all.
After that, Chen Qing skillfully went upstairs in the dark, went straight to the second floor, walked through the corridor and greeted the neighbors he met, and then pushed the door back to the rented home.
At home at this time, Chen Zhengzhong had returned from work, and Chen Yang had returned to school.
Chen Qing didn't delay, and directly told Chen Zhengzhong about not sleeping at home today, but going to sleep in the martial arts hall with his classmates.
With Chen Yang's help to explore the bottom before, Chen Zhengzhong also knew that Chen Qing's goal was to apply for the patrol room.
Although he is actually not optimistic in his heart - with no background, no connections and no money, it is basically impossible to be admitted to the patrol room.
But as long as Chen Qing is not bad at learning and doesn't go to gangs, he will be a lot more relieved.
Therefore, after he walked out of the room and glanced at Zhuang Zhiqiang downstairs, he didn't say anything more.
After saying hello, Chen Qing quickly went downstairs to meet Zhuang Zhiqiang.
"That was your dad just now?"
After Chen Qing came down, Zhuang Zhiqiang took the initiative to ask.
"Hmm."
Chen Qing nodded and said, "Let's go." ”
When Zhuang Zhiqiang heard this, he also nodded.
After that, the two began to walk towards Yunyang District.
Zhuang Zhiqiang's home is in Yunyang District, and Chen Qing asked on the way back.
Therefore, the two of them almost returned to the Tiger Gate the same way first, and then went to Yunyang District from Songshan Road, where the Tiger Gate was located.
Compared with the poor Nanba District, Yunyang District, which is the center of the city, is much safer at night.
There are patrols even at night, unlike Nanba and the river, which only patrol during the day and not at night.
Moreover, the facilities on the roads in Yunyang District are perfect, and basically every road is illuminated by street lights.
The further you go to the center of Yunyang District, the brighter the lights become, because many shops in Yunyang District at night are open with lights on.
The security here is relatively very good, whether it is the patrol house or the Iron Fist Club, the management of black and white is relatively perfect and orderly, unlike Nanba and Hexi, where shops are at risk of being robbed when they are open at night.
After the two walked back to Songshan Road, where the tiger gate is located, from Nanba District to Nanba District, they walked towards the urban area of Yunyang District under the lighting of street lamps.
However, as he continued to walk, Chen Qing's brows gradually wrinkled.
Because, as the lights on the road gradually brightened, Zhuang Zhiqiang still did not open his mouth to stop, which means that he has not yet arrived at the other party's house.
The two walked like this, until the lights became neon and Chen Qing became more and more familiar, and Zhuang Zhiqiang could speak.
"Here we are."
With this sound coming, Chen Qing stood still, looked at a two-story garden house in front of him, and then looked at the end of the street in the distance, which could already be seen faintly, when he was familiar with the corner of the South Street of the Grand Cross Street, he looked back at Zhuang Zhiqiang.
"Your home is so close to Grand Cross Street?"
Chen Qing had long known that the dozen or so teenagers who practiced boxing in the Tiger Gate had some money in their families, but he didn't expect it to be so rich.
Suddenly, he felt that the two hundred yuan he asked for seemed to be a loss.
It seems that this is not the first time he has encountered this situation, Zhuang Zhiqiang hurriedly said: "Rent!" Rented! ”
"The rent of the house here is not something that ordinary people can afford."
Chen Qing said lightly.
When Zhuang Zhiqiang heard this, he scratched his head and said, "If you think that the two hundred tuition fees just now are less, I will add another one hundred to you?" ”
"No, you don't."
Chen Qing shook his head, "Since the price has been negotiated in advance, there is no reason to regret sitting on the ground and raising the price." Alright, hurry up and open the door, it's almost time for my bedtime. ”
"So early?!"
Zhuang Zhiqiang was shocked.
What time are you going to bed?!
Chen Qing glanced at him and said, "Do you think I'm joking with you?" ”
Zhuang Zhiqiang was speechless.
But he still didn't believe it in his heart, and while looking at Chen Qing with suspicion, he took out the key and opened the iron door in front of him.
And as he opened the iron door, Chen Qing walked in directly.
The garden is small and there are no flowers or plants, but the grounds are clean.
When Chen Qing and Zhuang Zhiqiang opened the door and entered, the door on the first floor of the bungalow opened almost immediately after, and a woman wearing a red cheongsam on a black background, looking to be in her thirties, with her hair coiled and a quiet and elegant temperament, walked out.
"Junjun, you go back-"
Her voice came to an abrupt end after seeing Chen Qing.
"Mom, this is my classmate Chen Qing in the martial arts hall."
After Zhuang Zhiqiang closed the iron door, he turned around and introduced: "Chen Qing, this is my mother." ”
"Hello Auntie."
Chen Qing bowed slightly and greeted.
After hearing this, Zhuang Zhiqiang's mother smiled slightly and said, "Hello, I am Junjun's mother, surnamed Wu, you can call me Aunt Wu." ”
"Okay."
Chen Qing nodded with a smile, and then looked back at Zhuang Zhiqiang: "Junjun? ”
"Nickname ......"
Zhuang Zhiqiang replied with his forehead.
Chen Qing smiled and didn't say anything, after all, he also had the nickname of a soldier.
At this time, Zhuang Zhiqiang's mother smiled and spoke again: "I rarely see Junjun bring his classmates back, come into the house, by the way, have you eaten?" ”
As she spoke, she turned around and waved her hands back in hand.
Chen Qing said with a smile as he stepped into the house: "Aunt Wu, no need, we are going to sleep soon." ”
"Sleep?!"
Zhuang Zhiqiang's mother was stunned when she heard this, and then looked at Chen Qing in dismay, and then at Zhuang Zhiqiang.
