Chapter 3 Purple Qi

Wu Tong reflected that her parents' love for her was selfless and unrequited, but she was not willful and selfish, only knowing how to ask for things. What she should do is to be considerate and filial.

"Why are you being so weird? Just eat your food. This is a whole plate. Isn't it enough for me and your father?"

Despite her stubborn complaints, Jin Yu finally swallowed the extra sweet melon in her mouth slowly.

The family was eating watermelon happily, thinking that Wu Tong was just frightened. The couple did not think much about it and did not ask Wu Tong why she was frightened. Teacher Jin, who was in a good mood and felt very close to her daughter, asked Wu Jingzhong to go to the street and buy a pound of beef in clear sauce, which her daughter liked, to add to the noodles in the evening.

Normally, Teacher Jin doesn't allow Wu Tong to eat out, thinking it's not clean and unhealthy. This braised meat shop has been open for many years. It tastes good and is clean and hygienic. It is one of the few shops that Teacher Jin approves of.

The weather is hot in summer, and people have no appetite and are impatient to eat hot food. Refreshing cold noodles are what Wu Jiaxia usually prepares for dinner.

Wu Tong kept instructing his father and snuggling with his mother until he had his meal and washed up. He then accompanied his parents to watch the news broadcast that they would not miss. Then he returned to his room and started a new round of study.

It is already August and there is less than a month left until school starts.

At the end of summer vacation, she will enter the second year of high school. At the end of the first year of high school, they had already divided into arts and sciences, and she chose science. This choice was more due to the indoctrination and decisive requirement of Teacher Jin and Comrade Wu from childhood to university that she should be good at math, physics and chemistry and not be afraid of going anywhere.

She even got angry with her parents over the science or liberal arts division. It wasn't that she didn't like science, it was just pure rebelliousness. To describe it in one word, it was unreasonable and she shouldn't have done that.

The college entrance examination in Zhongyuan Province is a national examination paper. There are a total of six science subjects, including Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry and biology. Her foundation is not solid, not just mathematics. In addition to mathematics, she also has Chinese, English, physics, chemistry and biology. She is half-baked in all of them and urgently needs to re-learn and rebuild her foundation.

After relearning the contents of the first year of high school, with such convenient conditions, she can also arrange to self-study the contents of the second and third years of high school or even more advanced contents. After all, there is no time to waste. No matter how good the assistance is, she still has to study with all her strength to learn the knowledge, otherwise it will be in vain.

Before he knew it, Wu Tong had turned to the last page of the compulsory math course for the first year of high school, declaring that he had completed the retake.

She looked outside and saw silence and darkness everywhere. She glanced at the pink rabbit alarm clock on the corner of the table. It was already 11:56 in the evening and there were four minutes left until midnight. She had devoted about four hours to studying. In the state of intensive study, she was focused and concentrated only on studying. She basically did not feel the passage of time.

With a lot of gains, Wu Tong stretched and loosened his muscles that were stiff from studying at the desk for a long time.

It was time to rest. Normally, she would have been asleep by this time. The body is the capital of revolution, so it is necessary to have a good rest.

After estimating the time when the sun would rise, Wu Tong set the alarm for five o'clock, pulled down the ponytail tied behind her head, turned to the bed and lay down to sleep. At the age of growing up, coupled with the consumption of studying, Wu Tong fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the pillow.

The next day, the alarm rang. Wu Tong raised his hand to turn off the alarm, then touched his sweaty forehead.

There is a kind of love called "Mom feels you are cold". Teacher Jin believes that using air conditioning for a long time is not good for health. She is worried that Wu Tong will catch a cold if he uses the air conditioning too much, so she usually turns off the air conditioner in Wu Tong's room quietly in the middle of the night.

Wu Tong was often woken up by the heat and had arguments with Teacher Jin in protest, but when it came to issues related to Wu Tong's health and studies, Teacher Jin would not give in, so naturally the protests were ineffective and communication was unsuccessful.

After wiping the sweat off his forehead, Wu Tong changed into a summer sports short-sleeved shirt and thin trousers that were convenient for movement. He quietly opened the door, carried the mat he had found, and went up to the top floor.

They lived in the staff quarters of the County Agricultural Bureau, with one elevator and two households, seven floors in total, and a two-bedroom, one-living room house that was just enough for the family to live in. The top floor was directly accessible, so it was convenient for residents to dry their quilts and enjoy the cool in the summer.

It was early in the morning, and everyone was still asleep. The top floor was quiet and deserted, which was convenient for Wu Tong to move. He found an open space, spread out the mat, and sat cross-legged facing the rising sun in the east. He timed it just right.

There was a hint of red in the sky, dyeing half of the white sky red.

The rosy edge of the sun slowly emerged, and the light that illuminated all things spread through the clouds. Wu Tong closed her eyes and followed the skills she learned yesterday. As she breathed in, she took in a ray of purple air from the morning sun, which turned into a warm current that entered her mouth and nose, passed through the tower, and then spread to her limbs and bones, nourishing every part of her body.

When the sun completely jumped out of the horizon, slowly climbed higher, and the sky became bright, Wu Tong stopped practicing the technique. The Chaoyang Purple Qi technique used the Chaoyang Purple Qi when the sun was just rising. The essence of the sun after it had fully risen was not something Wu Tong could handle now.

The Enlightenment Stele and Wu Tong coexist and tune with each other. This technique is based on the natural world of heaven and earth. It emphasizes the balance and peace of mind. Wu Tong is full of vitality and spirit. Only when she recognizes the Enlightenment Stele that is in tune with her can she be nourished. Otherwise, it will only accelerate the extinction of the Enlightenment Stele.

After finishing the exercises, Wu Tong performed a set of Tai Chi to stretch his muscles. In the memory he glimpsed yesterday, his cousin from his uncle's family took Tai Chi as an elective in physical education when she was in college. In order to have someone to practice with, he taught her specially. It happened that she was also very interested in traditional culture, so she took this boxing technique as a fitness exercise and practiced it from time to time.

Now I am fighting according to my memory. At the beginning, there is some unfamiliarity between my memory and my body, but as the movements go on, I go from unfamiliar to proficient in just the time it takes to complete one set of boxing routines.

After practicing a set of exercises and stretching his muscles with Tai Chi, Wu Tong felt that his mind was exceptionally clear and his whole body was refreshed. In the past, he felt a little groggy after getting up, as if he had not slept enough, but now the feeling of physical sleepiness has completely disappeared.

After the morning exercise, Wu Tong slowed down his movements again and went home to his room. After turning on the air conditioner and adjusting the temperature, he took out his English textbook and began to recite the words at the back.

Her English score, which was a perfect 150, was usually around 110-20. She also scored below 100 on difficult questions. She was not excellent, and there was still a lot of room for improvement in vocabulary and grammar.

The goal of Wu Tong’s morning reading today is to review and memorize half or all of the English words in the compulsory course one.
