Cheng Xiaoyu was stunned by the old man's words. He had always stayed away from strangers since he was little. If he and Xiong Wei and Zhang Sen hadn't been thick-skinned and naughty enough, they were so curious that they wanted to explore the secret of why Old Wei Cheng was so unkind.
After being taught a lesson by his parents and going through countless struggles, just like all his cousins, he and the old man are strangers. Even if they are close, they are getting closer, but the answer to the secret is still unexplored.
I have been a little fat since I was a child, and my body has always been like this. The old man didn't say anything, but why did he suddenly say such a thing when he came back this time? Could it be...
Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes lit up. Could it be that his lack of physical potential was noticed by the old man? This must be the case.
For the first time, Cheng Xiaoyu had a deep exploration of this grandfather. When he was a child, he only knew how to play around. When he became more sensible, he was tricked by Zhang Sen to work hard in the city. He left the village early, and he really didn't notice.
My grandfather, also known as Old Monster Cheng, is no ordinary person.
The West Room was kept very clean by my mother at night. All the furnishings remained unchanged and were still full of my own shadow. The frames on the wall were all photos of me when I was a child. Some of the black and gray corners were pasted by those I once admired.
some celebrity artists.
It’s great to be home, with a comfortable hot kang, comfortable quilts, and comfortable pillows. Everything is comfortable. In the evening, a bowl of goose meat and a pot of pork vermicelli were consumed by Cheng Xiaoyu. The sleepiness had already surged up, so he lay down on the kang.
I started snoring. This is the price of crazy repairs. I am seriously lacking in energy and physical strength.
Early the next morning, when it was dawn, Cheng Xiaoyu was woken up by peeing. He emerged from the warm bed shirtless and was agitated. The flame in the stove had long been extinguished, and the temperature in the room had already dropped.
The moment he came out, he was so cold that he woke up completely. Cheng Xiaoyu then remembered that he was no longer in Chuncheng but at home. He put on his down jacket and went to the ground. When he looked up, he saw a figure standing outside the window. He was so startled that he almost sat on the ground. It was so scary.
dead.
After looking carefully, he saw that the figure was his grandfather, Old Monster Cheng. Cheng Xiaoyu patted his chest and saw Old Monster Cheng gesticulating with his fingers outside the window, signaling Cheng Xiaoyu to get dressed and come out. Then he turned around and walked towards the back of the yard, where he entered.
Baomi ground up the mountain.
Thinking of what his grandfather said when he left last night, Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head, quickly put on his clothes, and after taking care of his physical needs, he endured the cold and dry air and came to his grandfather who was only wearing a worn-out military cotton coat. It was not very bright.
Under the light, the old man's face was stern. He stared at Cheng Xiaoyu for a long time and then suddenly slumped up. Cheng Xiaoyu felt his eyes flash, and there was a push from his left shoulder. He took a few steps back and sat on his buttocks in the snow.
"You gained all this fat in vain. That's how you worked hard in the city. You gained a body that is loose and powerless. The body that you trained on the trot mountain, under the trees and under the river, has been lost in just one year.
You are really worthless. From today on, if you don’t let me get in good shape, don’t leave here.” The old man’s voice was cold and stern, full of anger that hated iron. Cheng Xiaoyu did not come back during the summer vacation, but in one year,
The grandson in front of him was so weak that he didn't want his experience to be related to future generations. He just wanted them to grow up healthily, but now he couldn't guarantee even the most basic health, so he had to stand up.
"Grandpa, what's your kung fu?" Cheng Xiaoyu's attention was not focused on the old man's words at all. What lingered in his mind was the grace of that leap.
"Huh!" The old man snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the snowy distance. Looking far into the distance, he could see sporadic black spots and began to move up the mountain to see if the trap had caught pheasants.
Cheng Xiaoyu followed up in a hurry, with a smile on his face. All his sleepiness disappeared with the old man's jump, and he asked tirelessly: "Grandpa, you are so good at Kung Fu, why didn't you show it earlier?"
, teach me, teach me.”
"Grandpa, it's not interesting for you to teach your grandson this unique skill."
"Grandpa, can you fight ten by yourself?"
Fifteen minutes later, Cheng Xiaoyu was knocked down again. Instead of being unhappy, he was very excited. The old man's skills proved his previous guess. He had used this kind of brown candy move to stay in the old man since he was a child.
Those around me know how to do it, and now they are completely copying the tricks from the past.
"I want to learn, yes, but can you persevere with your temperament?" How could the old man not understand his grandson, who has a lazy personality and has no long-term potential at all. When faced with difficulties, he will always choose to compromise in the end. How did he know that in the past six months,
Over a long period of time, his grandson went through the three experiences that a man would least want to go through in his life. I dare not say that it was almost like being reborn. In the face of persistence, Cheng Xiaoyu already had his own understanding.
"Try it."
The words "very firm" made the old man stunned for a moment, and the firmness that once did not exist emerged in his grandson's eyes. It seemed that although he had exhausted his body this year, he was not without gains.
"You are already twenty-three, and you will be twenty-four after the Chinese New Year. There is no chance of success as your body grows up. It's time to exercise. I don't ask you to run. If you can keep up with walking, you will pass." The old man didn't talk nonsense.
He turned around and followed his daily pace and habits. Cheng Xiaoyu who was following him was in trouble. He was covered in sweat and kicked one foot shallowly. This was because the old man in front had stepped on the road. If he had to clear the way, he would have been lying down.
Got off.
If it were Cheng Xiaoyu a year ago, he would have given up long ago. Now when he can't hold on anymore, the words of his first girlfriend who found a new boyfriend after dumping him will flash in his mind, and he will think of Bai Ji'an and Zhang Xiaocen
, will...
Success is not a matter of effort; success is persistence. No matter what you do, the first thing you must learn is persistence. If you can't even do the simplest persistence, how can you talk about success?
At half past eight, the old man had to look at his grandson differently. It was obvious that his body was not strong enough to support him to continue, but he still insisted on walking around the nearby area. His face was pale and his lips were purple. He was tired and sweaty.
The dampness and coldness caused by the convection between the soaked clothes and the cold air outside.
"Sit." The old man pointed to the wooden stakes in the courtyard. In this cold season, once you stop exercising, it will only get colder. Cheng Xiaoyu was puzzled but still obeyed his grandfather's order, panting heavily and supporting his body with both hands.
He felt like he was about to faint. If his physical condition at his peak was not like this, why would it rain all night when the house leaked recently?
After a while, the old man came out with a bowl of dark soup: "Drink it."
The pungent smell of Chinese medicine was mixed with the faint smell of blood. Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know what the soup was. He raised his head and frowned. Before he could speak, the old man spoke first: "If you don't drink it, don't even think about learning."
Holding it back, I threw it away, a strong feeling of retching emerged from my throat, and handed over two rock candies in my rough palms covered with age spots.
