The dawn light illuminated the earth, and countless families living under the mountains spent a peaceful night in anxiety.
Fortunately, those animals didn't make any more noise last night. They must have been scared after being beaten and ran into the mountains.
After all, humans have weapons, and the number of animals killed or injured the night before was no less than their harvest in the mountains.
After spending a peaceful night, people breathed a sigh of relief and then plunged into their busy work.
Those who should go to work go to work, and those who are unemployed are organized by the government.
Some people were assigned to clean up the prey, while more people were divided into small groups to help repair the damaged houses.
Zhang Xudong was called away by Captain He and was taken directly to the training ground in the team camp.
On the training ground, five soldiers in military uniforms, looking fierce and vigorous, stood in a row.
They stood there like five wooden stakes driven into the ground, motionless and without blinking.
Opposite them were Captain He, his leaders, colleagues, and three soldiers Zhang Xudong had never seen before.
"Zhang Xudong, I told them you're a better fighter than them, but they didn't believe me and refused to accept my words. What do you think we should do?"
When Captain He saw Zhang Xudong coming, he pointed at the five people opposite and said.
"What should I do? It's their business if they're not convinced. It doesn't affect my eating, sleeping, and spending time with my girlfriend. No, it doesn't affect my seeing the patient. How does it affect me?"
Zhang Xudong looked at the five people opposite and said.
Captain He was so angry at Zhang Xudong's words that he almost flew into a rage. If this guy really became his son-in-law in the future, he would be so angry that he would die early.
Just as Captain He was about to scold Zhang Xudong with a sullen face, the leader of the three strangers spoke first:
"He Junqiang and He Dapao, are you going to break discipline again? Is there anything wrong with what the young comrade said?
We invited people to teach us skills, so we have to act like we are inviting people.
The reason why he is able to donate his martial arts skills to make a contribution is because he has a high level of ideological awareness.
But we cannot take it for granted to ask for things. Everything must be based on the willingness of the young comrades themselves.
So don’t talk about those unnecessary things.”
Then he smiled and said to Zhang Xudong, "Comrade, I'm sorry. The team has been busy with tasks recently, so I haven't had time to send anyone to learn that set of boxing from you.
These five are the best soldiers selected from the entire military region. Please teach them the boxing routine as soon as possible. We will give you compensation and rewards in the next few days."
Zhang Xudong felt that this was not bad. Why did he want me to do something like this person, just say it directly, why bother to use provocation? Am I such a fool? Who am I looking down on?
"Commander, rewards and subsidies don't matter. Since I promised you that day, I will definitely do it.
In order to make these five big brothers truly accept me as a little kid, I will use this set of boxing skills to fight with them and let them see whether it is worth learning from me.
All five of you should come together. Going up one by one is a waste of time."
After saying that, Zhang Xudong waved to the five people opposite, indicating that they should come up together.
The five people were so angry that their faces turned red and their necks became thick after hearing what Zhang Xudong said. This was something that the uncle could tolerate, but his wife could not tolerate it.
The one standing on the far left of the five stepped out of the team first.
"Comrade, I'm the worst among the five of us. Let me first learn from your tricks before we talk about anything else! Wei Liping, please teach me."
After Wei Liping finished speaking, he clasped his hands together and walked into the venue.
Zhang Xudong had no choice but to walk over to stand opposite Wei Liping, clasped his hands together and said, "Zhang Xudong, please advise. You can attack when you are ready."
Wei Liping was not polite either. He used the Black Tiger Heart-Rip move right away, hoping to knock Zhang Xudong down with one move.
Zhang Xudong moved calmly and kicked him sideways, sending him two meters away.
However, Zhang Xudong used soft force and did not hurt him.
Needless to say, even if five people attacked together, they would be abused every second.
Now all five of them were convinced from the bottom of their hearts. The team worshipped the strong, whoever had the biggest fist was the boss.
Zhang Xudong said that being the big brother was no longer a legend, and he already had five big fans. Zhang Xudong smoothly started his three-day coaching life.
After dinner in the evening, Zhang Xudong had just put down his bowl when his grandmother asked him, "Dongzi, how is Jing's injury?"
"Grandma, Xiaojing's external injuries have healed, but her ribs are slow to heal, so it will take some time for them to fully recover.
But it's okay to walk slowly and move around a little bit now. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Zhang Xudong answered his grandmother's question and then asked another question in confusion.
"You silly boy, if you don't take the initiative in matters between men and women, how can you wait for the woman to speak first?
I want you to exchange handkerchiefs before school starts, give each other a token of love, and then your relationship will be settled.
You can ask their parents tomorrow if it’s okay the day after tomorrow and whether they have any other requirements.
If it works, invite them and their family to our house for dinner the day after tomorrow, and the deal will be done."
Zhang Xudong asked in confusion, "Grandma, is engagement really that simple? Don't we need to invite relatives and friends from both sides for a meal?"
"Dongzi, you dare not do that. Now we are required to work hard and keep everything simple.
Getting married just requires taking vows in front of the leader’s portrait, and at most one or two tables are enough.
It would be enough for our two families to have a meal together after we get engaged."
Grandma quickly explained. Zhang Xudong then realized that it was just an engagement and a marriage, and each era had its own characteristics.
"Then grandma, what should I give to Xiaojing as a token of love? I really don't have any of this." Zhang Xudong said to his grandma worriedly.
After hearing what Zhang Xudong said, grandma took out two small wooden boxes from the inner room with a sad face, handed them to Zhang Xudong and said:
"Dongzi, your mother has already prepared this for you and asked me to keep it for you.
There's also your mother's jade pendant, which she wore around your neck when she left that day. I've been keeping it for you, and now it's time to give it to you. Open it and take a look."
Zhang Xudong took the two boxes and opened the one with rough and simple workmanship first.
In the box was a phoenix-shaped jade pendant that was as crystal white, delicate and moist as mutton fat.
Zhang Xudong carefully picked up the jade pendant and saw the four small characters "Sima Fanghua" engraved on the back. This must be his mother's personal jade pendant.
Zhang Xudong gently put the jade pendant back into the box and put it into the space.
You can’t wear jade pendants now, but when you have the chance in the future, you must wear it every day.
Zhang Xudong opened another box, and the jade pendant inside was made of the same material as the previous one.
The difference is that the previous jade pendant was a hollow phoenix-shaped jade pendant, while this one just had a phoenix embossed on the jade block.
There are two lines of small characters engraved on the back of the jade pendant. The top line reads: I wish you and my son a happy marriage, and the bottom line reads: Gift from Sima Fanghua.
