Chapter 129 Chapter 129 But I still can’t compare to you…
Liang Xin's shoulders trembled with fear. Just as she was about to turn around, the referee's whistle suddenly pierced the air. The blue athlete was grabbed by the neck and thrown heavily to the mat by the red athlete. The red athlete raised his arms high. The gymnasium instantly erupted in a tsunami of cheers, and Liang Xin couldn't help but applaud!
As she was puffing, she suddenly felt a little cold. Liang Xin remembered what happened a few seconds ago and quickly turned her head, only to meet a handsome and stinky face.
"Evanescent!"
Liang Xin held up the Dudu and handed it to him, "Didn't you say you couldn't come?"
Dudu hugged Lu Chongfeng's neck and kissed his father's face affectionately, "Dad!"
Lu Chongfeng sighed, hugged his daughter tightly, and when he faced Liang Xin, his expression turned grim again, "You knew I couldn't come, so you were so fascinated by it?"
"The audience was fascinated by the performance of the athletes."
Liang Xin patted the non-existent dust on Lu Chongfeng's sleeves, "But I still can't compare to you."
Lu Chongfeng's tense mouth relaxed. "How can you say that? I have never participated in a martial arts performance."
"You train on the training ground every day, and I'm not blind."
Liang Xin said, "Compared to you, they are just show-offs. You haven't seen me watching you train. I was even more fascinated! It's a pity that you can't just go and watch the training ground."
Lu Chongfeng's left cheek bulged up due to the tip of his tongue. After suppressing the urge to laugh, he raised his chin slightly and said, "What's wrong with watching this? Next time you want to come and watch it, let me know and I'll move a chair for you so you can sit and watch!"
Liang Xin suppressed her laughter, "Did you call the day before yesterday to confirm that you were coming?"
"I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect you to give me a surprise instead."
Lu Chongfeng looked at the audience and said, "Director Liang is truly a genius!"
"I just started this event and made a suggestion." Liang Xin said: "The planning and organization were all completed independently by the Beijing team of the Sales and Marketing Department."
"It is easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it is hard to get a general."
Lu Chongfeng also patted Liang Xin on the shoulder and said, "Comrade Liang Xin, don't underestimate yourself."
"After not seeing each other for a few days, they started praising each other again."
Liang Xin smiled and said, "Would you like to watch it here or go to the stands inside the stadium?"
"Right here."
Lu Chongfeng held Dudu, who wanted to lean on the window to watch the show, and turned around, "It's not noisy here, and the view is clear."
Yang Tao came over and called out, "Auntie Liang, get ready to go on stage."
Liang Xin pulled the chair next to her over and asked, "Have you eaten? You came here as soon as you got off the train?"
“I ate it on the train.”
Lu Chongfeng let his daughter look at the window while he looked at Liang Xin, "I'll wait for you here."
Liang Xin's cheeks heated up slightly when he looked at her. "I'll just be down for about ten minutes and will be back soon."
After the start of the main competition, the Sanda, wrestling, traditional martial arts boxing, weapons, fierce confrontation scenes, muscle tremors and bursts of movements all brought strong visual impact and auditory stimulation to the audience.
Just as the audience seemed to be feeling the psychological pressure and suffocation of the athletes on the field, the lights in the field suddenly became brighter, and the host and announcer came on stage and introduced with a smile:
"The following special performance is the traditional Chinese health-preserving Qigong Ba Duan Jin, brought to you by the sponsor of this martial arts performance competition, the director of Liangxin Instant Noodle Factory, our familiar water rescue hero, Comrade Liang Xin, and women comrades from various units in Beijing."
The audience was quiet for a moment, and then suddenly burst into applause.
The audience who were originally slumped in their chairs due to exhaustion sat up straight one after another and leaned forward to see what Liang Xin looked like in person.
When Liang Xin and fifty female comrades filed into the venue, the applause was no less than that when the professional athletes performed to their brightest moments!
Liang Xin glanced upstairs and saw Dudu being held in his father's arms, with his little hands raised high and clapping.
Liang Xin and the female comrades formed a square formation according to the positions they had stood in during rehearsal.
From the audience's perspective, the white square array looks like a straight line, neat and tidy, which is pleasing to the eye but also full of doubts.
I was puzzled that in the square formation, there were not only young people like the leader Comrade Liang Xin, but also middle-aged people with fat bodies and middle-aged and elderly people with gray hair. None of them looked like a martial artist in appearance or posture, yet they were asked to perform martial arts?
What martial arts are being performed?
The sound of ethereal music rang out in the venue, followed by a clear and graceful female voice, chanting the command:
"Health Qigong Ba Duan Jin, preparatory posture."
"Step out with your left foot shoulder-width apart, bend your knees and squat, holding your palm in front of your abdomen."
"Be calm and relaxed, breathe naturally, calm your mind, and focus on your Dantian."
Looking at the formation of young, middle-aged and elderly women in the venue, following the instructions of the music, stretching out their arms, bending their knees and squatting, many spectators suddenly realized and muttered to themselves that it was Tai Chi.
The next second, the command sounded, "Push your hands up to the sky to regulate the three burners, and push them up."
At the same time, there was a clearer voice reminding me to breathe in.
Looking at the women putting their hands together and raising them above their heads and stretching them out, the man who had just finished talking about Tai Chi was stunned.
They loved martial arts and knew all about Changquan, Neijiaquan, swords, spears, sticks, and nine-section whips, and even the rare types of boxing. But they had no idea what these inconspicuous women were performing.
So the two sides discussed with each other and recalled what the Eight Section Brocade mentioned just now was.
Some people mentioned Shaolin's "Yi Jin Jing", some mentioned Wudang, some mentioned Chinese Qigong, and some firmly believed that it was a technique derived from Tai Chi.
The entire venue was highly discussed.
The discussion was basically among gay men, while the lesbians were watching the Ba Duan Jin performance attentively.
Since the women of different ages in the venue were able to perform to the same standard, they thought they should be able to learn it easily too!
Liang Xin chose to form such a square formation mainly to convey this idea. It is convenient and easy to learn, and you can start practicing at any time.
After performing "clenching fists and glaring to increase strength" and "shaking the back seven times to eliminate all diseases".
When the music recorded by Liang Xin gave the command to close the posture, the women had just put their palms together in front of their abdomens. The audience stood up and shouted, as if they were afraid that they would leave immediately:
"Comrade Liang Xin, what is this!"
Liang Xin relaxed her whole body, adjusted her breathing to an even level, and after her breath had settled in her dantian, she took the metal microphone handed to her by the announcer with a smile and said:
"This is the ancient health-preserving Qigong Ba Duan Jin, which originated in China and has a history of thousands of years. In last year's Opinions on Scientific Research of Qigong, Ba Duan Jin was listed as an excellent traditional national sports project. What we just performed was the simplified national version of Ba Duan Jin. Each of the moves in the formula integrates the Qi monism, Yin and Yang, Five Elements and Meridian Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and has a unique and mild health-preserving effect. The key is that it does not require any equipment and does not take up any venue. Whether in a factory workshop or in a rural area, farmers, female workers, teachers, and drivers can practice it anytime and anywhere. Moreover, the weaker the person, such as a woman who has just given birth, the more suitable it is for practice. After practicing for a period of time, you can feel that the Qi and blood become full, and many old problems such as fatigue and stiffness of the heart, lungs, shoulders, neck, and lumbar spine have also been improved. There are still competitions and other performances later today, and I can't delay too much time. If you are interested, you can write to the factory and I will explain it to you in detail."
The female comrades in the audience were the first to applaud! Although there are many female martial arts athletes, it takes time to learn how to wield a gun or a stick. Living in the city, the rooms are crowded and there is no place to practice.
On the contrary, the Eight-Section Brocade performed by Comrade Liang Xin and the female comrades just now seemed to have simple and soothing moves, did not take long, and had so many good effects that it immediately aroused their strong interest.
Finally, there is a martial art they can learn!
After Liang Xin's special performance successfully aroused the interest of the female comrades, the female martial arts athletes lined up to perform on stage, pushing the atmosphere of the venue to a climax again.
When Dudu saw Liang Xin finishing her performance, he immediately reached out for a hug.
As soon as Liang Xin brought her daughter over, Lu Chongfeng clapped his hands softly and said with a smile, "My eyes are almost scratched."
Liang Xin was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Lu Chongfeng: "I'm impressed!"
Liang Xin: “….”
Liang Xin laughed out loud, "It's not the first time you've seen it."
“When you’re on stage, and you’re performing with so many people, it’s different than at home.”
Lu Chongfeng smiled and said, "It's very attractive. I was up there and saw that the audience's attention was firmly captured by you. Although we couldn't hear the specific sounds from a distance, everyone was watching and it was very novel. You aroused everyone's interest. After the game, I'm sure there will be a lot of discussion. Your signature advertisement has achieved the desired effect."
Liang Xin was also very happy to hear this, "I hope so. As for the details, we will have to wait until the performance competition is over in a few days to find out."
Sister Ji moved a chair over and let Liang Xin sit down to rest.
"Wait a moment." Liang Xin said to Lu Chongfeng, "Team Leader Feng arranged for me to present the awards to the champions."
Wrestling, Sanda, different types of boxing, different weapons and age groups, each group will have its own champion, and the awards will be presented together after the main competition is over.
“No hurry.”
Lu Chongfeng stood beside Liang Xin and said, "Such a wonderful performance that fascinated you. I can learn from it."
Liang Xin: “…”
Why did you suddenly turn back?
"Jealous."
After the exciting and lively performances of different groups ended and the judges had given their scores and champions were announced, Liang Xin and the leaders of the State Sports Commission presented the precious certificates of honor and weapons to the champions and took photos as souvenirs.
The host and announcer gave a speech to thank the State Sports Commission and Conscience Instant Noodles, and invited Xu Xin, the team leader of the next stop, Shanghai Wushu Performance Competition, to the stage.
Feng Haiyan, leader of the Beijing team, handed the flag of the Conscience Instant Noodles Competition to Xu Xin.
The host and announcer enthusiastically said to the audience: "Let us look forward to the next stop of the Conscience Instant Noodles National Tour Martial Arts Performance Competition, Shanghai!"
After the contestants, performers, judges and referees collectively thanked the audience.
Liang Xin took Dudu to take photos with the professional athlete who will go down in history and the martial arts movie star who will become a martial arts superstar.
Lu Chongfeng's film was almost used up. Looking at the mother and daughter who were smiling so hard that their eyes were curved into crescents and who had not taken enough photos, he patiently finished taking the group photo and waited until he returned to the guesthouse and closed the door.
"I said I would come to Beijing with you!"
Liang Xin had just put Dudu on the bed when she turned back in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Lu Chongfeng said dissatisfiedly: "We have only been apart for a few days, and you have forgotten me!"
Liang Xin laughed, "Of course not. When I was playing, I looked up at you in front of the whole audience. Didn't you notice?"
Lu Chongfeng walked over and said, "Just a glance, it doesn't count!"
"That's not all. What do you mean by all?" Liang Xin said, "In front of the whole audience, only you are looking at me. How romantic."
Lu Chongfeng: ".......Then it counts as one."
Liang Xin looked at his expression and tried not to laugh. "I told you that even if it was a monkey show, I would watch it intently. Why can't you just let it go?"
“This is in the past.”
"Yeah?"
"yes!"
Liang Xin handed him the bottle and said, "Go make some milk for Dudu first. Let me think about it."
Lu Chongfeng took the bottle and asked casually, "What are you thinking about?"
"I wonder what you are dissatisfied with again."
"When have I ever been dissatisfied? Besides, how could I be dissatisfied with you?"
While Lu Chongfeng was scooping the milk powder, he watched Liang Xin holding the enamel tray and about to walk out the door. "Have you made up your mind?"
Liang Xin put the towel in the enamel basin and said, "I have to go out and fetch some water. I'll help Dudu wash his hands and face, and then I'll wash my own hands and face. Only then can I clear my mind and think carefully."
Lu Chongfeng: “…”
Liang Xin just came back with some cold water and saw Lu Chongfeng had packed his luggage again. "What are you doing? Are you running away from home?"
"What do you mean by running away from home? Wherever you are, that's my home."
Lu Chongfeng said, "The division has already arranged a room for me in the guesthouse where I used to stay. There is a bathroom in that room, so I don't have to run out. I can stay there."
"What should I do, sister?"
"I'm here. My eldest sister has to live in a room by herself. When we leave, she doesn't have to clean up. She can live here."
"There will be a celebration banquet later."
"It's not far, we can go directly to the hotel when we get there."
Liang Xin thought about it and decided that since a room had already been arranged there, she might as well move in there, so as to avoid having to ask Lu Chongfeng to get his ID to book a room and pay extra money.
After Dudu finished drinking the milk and the eldest sister came back from the toilet, Liangxin followed Lu Chongfeng and left for the new military district guesthouse.
Wait until you get there, then enter the room.
Liang Xin's ears were hot. "Deputy Division Commander Lu is no longer Regiment Commander Lu. Shouldn't the standards for deputy division-level cadres be higher than those for regiment-level cadres?"
Lu Chongfeng said seriously: "I don't care about these things, it doesn't matter where I live."
Liang Xin glanced at him but didn't scold him.
Lu Chongfeng opened the door of the bathroom and continued in a serious tone, "I didn't have time to wash my hands and face just now. I'm sure they are covered in dust after coming all the way here. Go in and wash them."
Liang Xin: ".......shameless."
Lu Chongfeng laughed and picked up Dudu who ran over. "Girl, do you know where this is?"
Dudu looked curiously at the military vehicle outside the window, "Car, car."
Liang Xin walked over and twisted Lu Chongfeng's waist.
Lu Chongfeng laughed even louder, and then he stopped laughing and said, "I am just a little happy to be back with my daughter."
Liang Xin also let go of her hand and went into the bathroom to wash her hands. "No more resentment?"
"Why not?"
Lu Chongfeng said: "The film is all used up, and you didn't take a single photo with me!"
Liang Xin raised the corner of her mouth, "You're not performing, why should I take a picture with you?"
"I didn't perform, and you didn't perform."
Lu Chongfeng patted Dudu's little butt and said, "In the end, neither of you two remembered to take a photo with me!"
Liang Xin laughed out loud, "I was wondering what you were angry about. So you were angry about this. You were holding the camera the whole time. Why didn't you say anything?"
"You're so happy, how can I interrupt you?"
Lu Chongfeng said: "Of course, I will just make you happy first."
Liang Xin dried her hands, unzipped her luggage bag, and took out a box of film. "I haven't changed my clothes yet, so take as many pictures as you want."
Lu Chongfeng put Dudu down and took the film. "One photo is enough. This room also has special meaning. In a few years, it may need to be renovated. It's a rare opportunity to come here. Let's take a family photo."
After he said that, Liang Xin also felt that it was quite meaningful.
She first helped Dudu tidy up her hair with pigtails and colorful duckbill clips, then she tidied up her own hair and used a wet towel to wipe Lu Chongfeng's face.
Liang Xin held Dudu in her arms, and Lu Chongfeng held Liang Xin in his arms. They raised their camera and took a family photo of the three of them.
"Why do I feel a little awkward again? I've been brainwashed by you."
Liang Xin touched her burning ears and asked, "Who would take a family photo like this?"
Lu Chongfeng finally couldn't help himself and bent down to kiss Liang Xin's face. "Anyway, you have a performance today and you are wearing a training suit. No one will know the real meaning of this photo if you ask."
Liang Xin held the sleepy Dudu in her arms and sat on the sofa. "This photo can only be put in the room on the second floor when we get back. Don't put it in the frame down there."
She doesn't want to blush every time someone asks her.
"I'll put you to sleep."
Lu Chongfeng picked up Dudu, walked around a few times, successfully coaxed his daughter to sleep, and gently put her on another bed.
Liang Xin watched Lu Chongfeng cover Dudu with a blanket. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Chongfeng picked her up by the waist and pressed her down on the left side of the bed.
Lu Chongfeng bit Liang Xin's lips to prevent her from screaming out, "Why can't it be put in the photo frame below?"
Liang Xin: “….”
Lu Chongfeng unbuttoned Liang Xin's training uniform with one hand, "Let me show you, your husband's figure is better than theirs!"
Liang Xin: “….”
"Why are you taking off mine instead of your own clothes?"
"I miss you."
Liang Xin: “….”
The two hugged each other and kissed for a while.
Liang Xin pushed his chest, which had unbuttoned his military uniform and white shirt, but not taken off, and said, "There will be a celebration banquet later."
"What time is it?"
"immediately."
Lu Chongfeng buried his head in Liang Xin's neck and sniffed the familiar scent, then hugged Liang Xin and sat her up. "What should we do with Dudu? Should we take him with us?"
Liang Xin let him button her clothes. "I didn't sleep at noon today. I don't think I'll wake up for a while. Carry me over."
The celebration banquet was booked in advance at a high-end hotel, Beijing Minzu Hotel, which has newer facilities and is suitable for large-scale conferences and banquets.
We invited the National Sports Commission, Wushu Association, Beijing Sports Commission, people from the literary and art circles and the media, Beijing Sports School, famous martial arts judges, performing guests, champions of each category and willing participants to support and help coordinate this exhibition match.
The Huaiyang cuisine of the Minzu Hotel is quite famous, and each table is arranged with four cold and eight hot classic banquets and drinks.
The main reception staff is still the Beijing group, supplemented by Liang Xin.
But once Liang Xin arrived, even if she wanted to help, she couldn't resist everyone's initiative and enthusiasm.
Liang Xin made an excuse and lied that she was still breastfeeding.
Some leading cadres glanced at Lu Chongfeng who was holding the child, but no one dared to ask Deputy Commander Lu to help drink the wine.
Knowing that the trend of eating and drinking had started outside, Liang Xin did not prepare any additional drinks other than the proper banquet standards. She also said long ago that any female comrade in the factory should clearly refuse any hints or requests such as needing to accompany drinking, without worrying about any consequences.
Fortunately, the organizations that came today are all very decent, and even after drinking liquor, the phenomena that have begun to appear in the market did not occur.
No one kidnapped Liang Xin and the female cadres and forced them to drink.
Fan Hongyi brought his apprentices and found Liang Xin with wine glasses.
Liang Xin picked up the teacup and stood up. "Master Fan, you have worked hard today. When you appeared, I heard many people in the backstage sighing with relief, saying that today's competition must be professional and fair enough."
Master Fan smiled and said, "I didn't have time to tell Director Liang that after eating all that milk, eggs and beef, I practiced two-finger meditation and I could clearly feel more powerful when doing handstands. It's indeed like you said, I have malnutrition."
Liang Xin said, "It's good that it's useful to Master Fan. For the next tour performance, Master Fan will have to lead the teams from various places to organize it. We are relieved to have you here."
Master Fan smiled and nodded. Before he could say anything, Yang Tao came over with someone and said, "Master Fan, this is Director Li Yu from our studio. He wants to talk to the master who just performed the stone-breaking performance."
Liang Xin smiled, politely signaled Master Fan to take his apprentice over quickly, and then winked at Yang Tao.
Yang Tao also winked at Liang Xin, and left with Master Fan and his apprentices.
Lu Chongfeng asked in a low voice: "What do you mean?"
"The production studio, the director, the martial arts students, what else can it mean besides making a movie."
Liang Xin said, "When I went to invite Master Fan, I mentioned the idea of developing in the film industry, and later I also told Yang Tao about it. However, first of all, it must be the outstanding kung fu skills of Master Fan and his disciples that attracted the attention of the directors. If you don't have real skills, the directors of these studios won't indulge you."
Dudu in Lu Chongfeng's arms woke up.
Liang Xin played with her daughter for a while, then got up to get clean bowls and plates, and helped Dudu pick out light dishes such as braised lion's head, boiled shredded dried vegetables, crystal shrimps, and chicken oil cabbage hearts.
The rice was a bit hard, so he took a three-diced bun and put the chicken, bamboo shoots and meat into Lu Chongfeng's bowl, then broke the bun skin into small pieces for Dudu to eat.
Lu Chongfeng ate the stuffing of the buns and asked, "Can we go back now?"
Liang Xin looked at the dishes on the table and saw that half of them were eaten. "You can leave after Dudu finishes eating. With you sitting here today, the celebration banquet is quieter than I thought."
Lu Chongfeng turned his head and said, "If I don't come, what do you imagine it will be like?"
"It's nothing. After all, all those sitting here are martial arts masters. Justice is the most important thing when learning martial arts." Liang Xin said, "I'm just worried that some people, who are used to other banquets, will make a fool of themselves after drinking."
Lu Chongfeng asked: "Do I still have this function?"
Liang Xin smiled and said, "Your role is beyond your imagination."
Lu Chongfeng didn't say anything else and watched his daughter eat.
After returning to the guesthouse, before Liang Xin came out of the shower, Lu Chongfeng used threats and inducements to finally coax Dudu into sleep.
Lu Chongfeng covered Dudu with the quilt and wrapped Dudu with a pillow. He raised his hand and randomly unbuttoned the discipline buttons and the remaining buttons of his military uniform. He took off his military uniform before entering the bathroom, walked in and hugged Liang Xin, who was rinsing off the shampoo foam with her eyes closed.
Liang Xin was startled again, "...What are you doing here again?"
