Chapter 89 Homecoming to visit relatives
Ye Yuze has been able to stand for an hour in Zhuang Gong.
Blacksmith Lin has already begun to teach him the eight major moves in Bajiquan:
Tigers hunting sheep.
Bear spirit relies hard.
Purple swallows pass through the curtain.
An oolong enters the hole.
Apes snatch food.
Dog fighting.
A hungry eagle catches a rabbit.
Quail collide.
These eight moves are the eight meanings evolved from the eight shapes of Bajiquan.
The so-called Eight Meanings are the actual combat experience derived from imitating the movements of these eight beasts. They are dragon, tiger, bear, monkey, swallow, dog, eagle, and quail.
Bajiquan is a short-fighting boxing method. Its movements generally pursue a fierce, unpretentious and rapid-fire style. In terms of martial arts techniques, it emphasizes taking every inch and hitting hard. It truly has the general characteristics of hitting, helping, squeezing, and leaning.
, the characteristics of collapse and shaking.
Therefore, in the Chinese martial arts community, there is a saying that Tai Chi can stabilize the world and that martial arts can regulate the universe at eight levels.
Of course, those so-called martial artists in later generations, such as Ma Baoguo, strictly speaking, are no longer members of the traditional martial arts community.
If we have to give them a name, it would be more appropriate to call them martial arts performing artists.
Because they only pay attention to the beauty of the moves, but ignore the true connotation of the martial arts itself.
Otherwise, how did Dong Haichuan, Huo Yuanjia and others during the Republic of China defeat the strong men of the foreigners?
We do not deny that martial arts techniques such as boxing and taekwondo are highly practical.
But don’t forget, judo, taekwondo, muay thai, which one is not derived from Chinese martial arts?
Bajiquan emphasizes a round character. It means leaving three points when exerting force. It means that the arm is not straight when punching. It feels a bit like an iron finger.
The requirements for the legs are also extremely strict. There is no wide opening and closing like the traditional boxing techniques. It is important to lift the legs no more than the knees.
Aunt Zhou's kick-stick kick is exactly the opposite of Blacksmith Lin's martial arts.
In her moves, her hands are basically used for defense, while her legs are basically used for attack.
So there are two doors with hands. It all depends on the saying that the feet hit people.
Therefore, Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong are completely different when training now.
Ye Yuze trained his hands, while Yang Geyong trained his legs.
In addition to platoon drilling, they are now driving piles. That is to cover the wooden piles with a layer of softer material before driving.
The two of them stand and drive piles once a day in the morning and evening. Yang Geyong's legs are now trained like an antelope hanging its horns, and there is nowhere to train.
But Ye Yuze became more and more calm, and some of the jumpiness in his temperament disappeared.
The time soon came to mid-July. The pencil box factory was increasingly unable to keep up with the raw materials.
Because in summer, people in northern Xinjiang are used to spreading a thick plastic sheet on their beds because they have no mats.
As a result, a large part of the quota originally belonging to the pencil box factory was allocated.
After all, we have to focus on the lives of the people. Things like pencil cases are not necessities in the first place.
The instructor finally came to Ye Yuze's house for a drink again. His mouth was full of bubbles. He was so anxious.
This time he didn't care about his identity. After a few glasses of wine, he said to Ye Yuze:
"Yuze, help uncle. Tell me where to get some raw materials?"
"Since we can't get it in Northern Xinjiang, let's go to the mouth! I happen to know the director of a plastic cloth factory in Tangcheng. Maybe I can think of a way."
The instructor's eyes lit up. "Are you serious?"
Ye Yuze curled his lips. "When did I ever lie to you?"
The instructor slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Then you go with your uncle!"
Ye Yuze smiled: "Why don't you bring my parents with you? They haven't visited our house for several years! But the expenses will have to be borne by the outside."
My mother was just about to stop her. She immediately shut up after hearing what Ye Yuze said. No fool would do such a good thing.
After the matter was settled, the instructor called the group headquarters. The group would definitely support this kind of thing.
They also sent a car directly to take several people to the station in the provincial capital.
If you take a bus, you will have to travel for two days.
The ticket issue was also solved directly by the group. I asked for a letter of introduction from the teacher. A few people bought sleeper tickets directly.
Sleeper tickets in that era were not something ordinary people could buy. It was not a question of money at all, but of status.
Even if the berths are usually empty, ordinary people won't be allowed to get on them.
Mom was grinning all the way. She couldn't help but was so happy.
After living a long life, I actually sat in a sleeper once. Finally, I no longer had to squeeze into that hard seat.
You know, even the aisle in the hard-seat carriage is full of people.
If someone lifts his feet when he is tired from standing, the place will be occupied immediately.
He could only stand in the independent position of the golden cock for a while. When there was a gap, he could insert it.
Mom has visited home several times, and everyone in the company has family leave. All are paid.
But my mother hasn’t gone back in the past few years. It’s not that she doesn’t want to go back, but she is really afraid of the crowds along the way.
This time it was better. There were not many people in the whole carriage. A family happened to occupy a sleeper berth.
The instructor went to sleep elsewhere. There is no one around anyway. Just find a place to lie down.
The train journey from the provincial capital to the capital took three days and four nights. It was already July 21st when we arrived in Tangcheng.
The temperature in Tangcheng is much higher than that in northern Xinjiang, which makes them a little uncomfortable after living in northern Xinjiang for a long time.
Grandma and grandpa were naturally very surprised when they saw their daughter and her family as if they had fallen from the sky.
Busy buying various things to entertain them. Although at this time, all the things in my mouth require tickets.
But when guests come, the neighbors will naturally help.
The whole family put in a few votes and it was enough to make up for it.
Although hard dishes such as meat and eggs cannot be compared with those in Beijiang.
However, various non-staple foods are much richer than those in Northern Xinjiang.
The instructor's family is in rural Anhui. It is even poorer there. Where have I seen so many kinds of food?
Even if I deliberately tried to be more reserved, it didn't last long.
Anyway, I let go completely before finishing the meal. I am a soldier and I am used to being a grassroots leader. It is impossible to be restrained in such an occasion.
Ye Yuze grew up with his grandparents. His mother is the eldest son of the family. Now only his aunt is married, but she has no children yet. Ye Yuze is naturally the treasure of the family.
Last time when his father came to pick him up, his uncle hugged him and hid. It took the whole family a long time to find him.
When she saw him come back this time, grandma hugged Ye Yuze and wouldn't let go. She kept groping around him. It must be said that he had lost weight.
This made my mother look depressed. A few months ago, she weighed 40 pounds in Northern Xinjiang. Now she weighs 50 pounds. Can this be called losing weight?
But how can there be any reason in the world that can be explained to my mother? Whatever she says is what it is!
But Ye Yuze was very happy to see his mother's deflated appearance.
The Queen Mother finally had someone to treat her. But he was not stupid enough to show it. Otherwise, he would have endured it when he returned.
The family spent a few days in Tangcheng. The instructor got angry again.
I pulled Ye Yuze several times and asked where the plastic cloth factory was. Ye Yuze laughed and didn't answer.
Chapter completed!
