Martial Arts Master - Chapter 87

[Chapter 87]

After coming out with two bags, Lou Cheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He couldn’t say a lot of words he had prepared.

“Gifts?” Lou Cheng’s mother put down the things in her hands and looked at him suspiciously. “Why are you thinking of buying us gifts? Did you make a mistake at school? Don’t worry, we don’t blame you.”

Seeing such a misunderstanding from his mother, if it was really a real mother, Lou Cheng almost laughed, and his embarrassment dissipated a lot. I bought it for a sum of money, a wool sweater for my father, and two sets of warm autumn clothes for you, go and try it on and see if you can wear it.”

“I bought it with the first money I earned?” Lou Cheng’s mother was stunned at first, but she couldn’t hide her smile and said happily, “Oh, this, this, I know how to be filial, oh, it’s good to have this kind of heart. .”

Dad Lou Cheng took the bag, took out the sweater inside, coughed and said, “What gift to buy, you are still studying, it is not easy to make some money, keep it for yourself, your parents and your mother are not short of it. clothes.”

As he spoke, his right hand held the sweater tightly, as if no one could take it away.

Seeing this scene, Lou Cheng was amused and wanted to cry. He endured his tumbling emotions and said, “Don’t worry, I have private money left by myself. Let’s see if it suits you.”

Lou Cheng’s mother’s eyes were slightly red, and while flipping through the label, she nagged: “If you want to buy clothes as gifts, let us know first, if this is the wrong purchase, it will take several days for the new year’s birthday to change, small receipt. Have you kept it? Eh, it can be worn, the size is correct.”

“Hey, I secretly went through your wardrobe.” Lou Cheng surrendered.

“You kid, your head is getting smarter and smarter.” Lou Cheng’s mother laughed and scolded.

Lou Cheng’s father read the label, pushed up his glasses and wiped the corners of his eyes, “Are you earning money from work-study?”

“No, didn’t I say I joined the University Martial Arts Club? It turned out that I had some martial arts talents, which improved very quickly. After the holiday, I simply signed up for a ring competition, entered the elimination stage, and got a few thousand yuan in bonuses.” Lou. Cheng reduced fifteen thousand to several thousand.

This is not intentional to deceive parents and mothers, but based on practical considerations.

Although I started high school, I don’t have to hand in the New Year’s money or anything, and I keep it as a private house. The family doesn’t control the money very strictly, but the bonus of 10,000 or several thousand is in my own hands, and my mother is very likely to Don’t worry, I’m afraid that I will spend it indiscriminately, and I will quickly squander it. After all, I am still a student who has not officially entered the society.

If she offered to save 10,000 yuan for herself as a daughter-in-law, there was no way she could refuse. She couldn’t say that this was used to chase your future daughter-in-law, right?

“Martial arts competition? It’s easy to get injured! Why are you thinking of participating in the competition! Are you injured?” Lou Cheng’s mother was startled, and the crackling was just a bunch of words.

Lou Cheng put on a bodybuilding look: “Mom, look at me jumping up and down, how can I be injured? Besides, there are high-quality referees and supervision in official competitions. Minor injuries are not in the way, and serious injuries are rare.”

“That doesn’t work either, it’s always an accident!” Lou Cheng’s mother worried.

Lou Cheng smiled and said, “It’s not safe to be in a car, if you really want to talk about an accident, why don’t you take a car?”

“Bah, bah, bah! Don’t crow!” Lou Chengma waved her hand.

At this time, Dad Lou Cheng opened his mouth and said with a smile, “Okay, don’t talk about it. When Chengzi comes home this time, I think he has changed a lot, he is cheerful, and he has an opinion.”

After a pause, his eyes turned to Lou Cheng: “You are an adult now, since you have made such a choice, then we also respect your choice, just to mention a few things, first, you can’t waste your studies, second, Don’t give up the path you choose, no matter how hard or tired you are, remember that you chose it yourself.”

“Well, Dad, I have to walk the road I chose myself, even on my knees!” Lou Cheng replied with a catchphrase on the Internet.

Lou Cheng’s mother glared at his father: “What kind of adulthood? Just graduated from college, what kind of adulthood?”

“At that time, there were a lot of eighteen-year-olds holding babies.” Lou Cheng’s father whispered back.

“Humph! Then you’re twenty-six years old and haven’t got a partner yet!” Lou Cheng’s mother exposed him.

Seeing that his mother and father were arguing and stopped talking about martial arts, Lou Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and helped to pack up the last things.

“Hey, you know how to earn performance.” Lou Cheng’s mother looked at it angrily, “Come on, help me put these things up.”

The dog’s legs lifted things, and Lou Cheng was the first to clear the way. He left the community and went straight to the platform.

It was New Year’s Eve, and there were basically no online car-hailing services in cities like Xiushan. They could only wait for taxis or buses. Of course, when they came back in the evening, Lou Cheng’s father and Lou Cheng’s mother also had other options – several people they knew in the community were there. Make a living by driving, which is commonly known as a small black car, make a phone call, give more money, and someone will come to pick it up.

This is the advantage of the neighbors who used to be in the same factory and are quite familiar with each other, and it is also a detail in the life of a small town.

Jiuzhan Road, after a change of trains, the family of three arrived at Loucheng’s grandparents’ house.

This is an elevator apartment that was built in recent years. The old couple sold the old house they bought out as a down payment and lived here with Uncle Lou Cheng.

The elevator went up and reached the sixteenth floor. Lou Cheng knocked on the security door.

After a while, the door opened, and a young man in his twenties smiled and said, “Chengzi, it’s been so many days since you’ve been back, and you haven’t come over for dinner?”

Lou Xiangxiang returned to his home, took out his slippers familiarly, and said while changing, “Hey, too many classmates have made appointments.”

The one in front of him is his cousin Lou Yuanwei, who is also about 1.75 meters tall. He is not fat but has a round face. His facial features have the characteristics of Lou’s family.

In the three years of junior high school, my family status was not good, and I had almost no pocket money. It was because of this cousin that he kept a little bit of money from time to time, so that he did not have inferiority complex. At that time, he was a good Chinese brother in his heart.

Lou Yuanwei is good at everything, but he loves tossing too much. When he was in his third year of high school, he thought it was boring to go to university, so he started working in the society early, and later quit his job to start a business. I built a restaurant, but these either didn’t make any money, or they were good at first, and they got worse and worse, so I had to close it down. After a few years, my parents, that is, my second uncle and aunt’s family, were almost emptied. As a last resort, I recently begged my grandpa to tell my grandma and went back to work at the old place.

“Okay, it’s a good time.” Lou Yuanwei said with a smile, took out the slippers from the shoe cabinet, and handed them to Lou Cheng’s father and Lou Cheng’s mother, “Dad, auntie, come in quickly, it’s windy outside. .”

Lou Cheng’s father ranked first among the three siblings, but because of his focus on studying, he did not get married until he was 27 years old, so that Lou Cheng was more than five years younger than Lou Yuanwei, the second uncle’s family.

Entering the living room, Lou Cheng was the first to hear the sound of the TV and the sound of cooking in the kitchen, and a middle-aged man with gray hair appeared in front of him.

“Second dad, grandma and second aunt are in the kitchen?” He greeted with a smile.

This is his second uncle Lou Zhiqiang. Well, the three siblings of the Lou family are called Zhisheng, Zhiqiang and Zhixian.

“Yeah, I’m waiting for your mother to help.” Lou Zhiqiang nodded.

“You are so capable, what else do you need me to help with? Are you a master chef?” Lou Cheng’s mother Qi Fang sarcastically said a few words.

The best relative she often talks about is Lou Zhiqiang.

Lou Zhiqiang didn’t study much, so he chose to be a soldier, entered the cooking class, got married after changing careers, and drove in Xiushan City Health Bureau. , but the leaders changed one after another, and after the other drivers in the small car class went their separate ways, he was still just a driver.

In the words of their colleagues in the unit, this person is too stinky and mean, even if he doesn’t show it in front of the leaders, rumors will always pass, so it is delayed again and again.

Fortunately, he also knew some people, so he simply stayed without pay, and found a relationship to contract a cafeteria. Because he was born in the cooking class, he has a good cooking skill, and his wife Wang Lili is diligent and hardworking. red hot.

Lou Cheng’s parents once asked him to borrow money at the most difficult time, but he rejected him bitterly. In addition, Lou Cheng’s grandparents felt that the eldest son had read a book and had a good future, so he didn’t need to take care of him too much. The second son had no ability and needed With help and subsidies, after a hundred years, the house and inheritance will belong to him, and the bowl of water is not level, so Lou Cheng’s mother is always full of complaints.

Of course, the responsibility of living together to take care of the old couple is completely handed over to Lou Zhiqiang and his wife, and they have rights and obligations.

Hearing Lou Cheng’s mother Qi Fang’s sarcasm, Lou Zhiqiang sneered: “There are more dishes to make.”

In the past few years, the business of the canteen has declined, he has not contracted any more, and his son is too tossed, and his family is about to be hollowed out, making him devastated, his hair has turned a lot white, the whole person has become silent, and his sarcastic words have become very harsh. appear less

Qi Fang went back and forth and went to the kitchen after sarcastic words.

“Chengzi, I’ll go back to the room to play games first, and I’ll have to be nagged when I stay in the living room.” Lou Yuanwei patted Lou Cheng on the shoulder and whispered.

“If you can escape the first day of the new year, you can’t escape the fifteenth day.” Lou Cheng couldn’t help but joked.

He heard his mother nagging about this matter, saying that his grandparents and his second uncle thought Lou Yuanwei was too tossed and wanted to find him a daughter-in-law to take care of him and settle his temper.

“One day counts as one day!” Lou Yuanwei replied with “grief and anger”.

Watching him enter the room, Lou Cheng turned around and walked towards the sofa, calling out “Grandpa” to the old man sitting in the main seat.

This handsome white-haired old man was his grandfather Lou Debang. He was partial to his second son, but he was very fond of his grandson. When he saw Lou Cheng coming over, he smiled and said, “Is it okay to live in school? Come here? , eat some strawberries.”

It really is a family, and the questions they ask are the same… Lou Cheng slandered a few words, casually said something about the school, then turned to look at a middle-aged woman who came out of the kitchen, and said with a smile: “Little aunt, Xixi Woolen cloth?”

“She, lie down in the guest room, go talk to her, her grades have dropped again recently, if she is half as obedient as you, I’ll be satisfied!” Lou Zhixian sighed.

As a primary school teacher, I couldn’t teach my daughter well.

“Okay.” Lou Cheng readily agreed, “Hey, where’s Uncle?”

“He? Jia Le was clamoring to buy a hand gun, so he had to take him to a nearby supermarket.” Lou Zhixian pointed out the window.

Ma Jiale is their youngest son, just seven years old, a full nine years behind their eldest daughter Ma Xi.

Standing up, Lou Cheng walked to the guest room, only to see that the lamp was on, it was dim, and a 15- or 16-year-old girl was lying on the bed playing with her mobile phone.

“Xixi, don’t say hello when you see the second brother?” Lou Cheng smiled at the rebellious girl.

Ma Xi kept his bangs and looked cute. He heard the words and pouted: “It must be my mother who asked you to come in to talk about me and let me study hard, right?”

“Okay, I won’t tell you.” Lou Cheng sat beside the bed, “Why are you sulking here?”

He could see at a glance that the cousin was gloomy.

Ma Xi’s facial features are only normal, but the young girl’s youthful breath rushed towards her face, and she said bitterly: “I don’t want to go out and watch them, Ma Jiale, Ma Jiale, I think it’s almost called Ma Jiabao!”

Lou Cheng smiled and shook his head: “Are you angry about this?”

Without waiting for Ma Xi’s answer, he continued on his own: “To be honest, my mother often nags about my grandparents’ partiality, and is always obsessed with the house, but in my heart, I always feel that this is nothing, especially when I recently arrived. I read books for half a semester abroad, and I have seen a lot of things, and I don’t take these to heart.”

“I have hands and feet, I can read and have talent, but I’m afraid that I won’t be able to make money. Why do I have to care about that little thing? The vision is broadened, the spirit is high, and many things are bearish.”

Yes, in ten days, he earned 15,000 yuan by himself!

Yes, in a professional ninth-rank to eighth-rank arena, the champion prize is more than 100,000 yuan. If you enter the professional martial arts circle and become a high-end powerhouse, will you still care about a house in a small city?

“Second brother, what are you trying to say?” Ma Xi listened with relish, but knew that Lou Cheng definitely didn’t just say this.

Because of her younger brother Ma Jiale, she did not have a good relationship with her father’s relatives. Instead, she felt that Lou Yuanwei and Lou Xiang were biological brothers.

Lou Cheng snorted: “I’m telling you, it’s useless to be sullen, when you know more, your horizons are high, and you’re self-reliant, you’ll look down on your younger brother, there’s nothing to argue about, who your parents love, and yourself. Loving yourself is the most important thing.”

Ma Xi took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled: “Second brother, what you said is quite reasonable…”

“In order to improve your vision and knowledge, and to have the ability to be self-reliant, the best and most likely way for you is to study, read a good book, get admitted to a big city university, and have the ability to earn a living in the future.” Lou Cheng At first, he was serious, and then he suddenly said with a wicked smile: “So, study hard!”

Ma Xi was stunned for a while, and then raised his voice: “Okay, if you go around, it’s still about studying!”

“That’s what I said, you can listen to it or not.” Lou Cheng stood up and walked out of the guest room slowly.

Watching his back disappear, Ma Xi was dazed, and it took a long time before he said to himself:

“study well……”
