Chapter 4: Results

Grandpa said that this mental method is a kind of exercise that uses the energy of heaven and earth to adjust the body, and it originated from Taoism.

Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things have their own appearance. Through the cultivation of qi, quality, form, color, spirit, and sound, one can correct appearance, regulate temperament, stimulate energy, and achieve a state of unity of body and mind.

Although grandpa didn't say what the result would be, it should be effective in maintaining health, improving complexion and strengthening the body.

Recalling the method her grandfather taught her, Dai Qing sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating, inhaling, exhaling, and finally returning the air to her Dantian.

In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. After being idle for so long, there was no movement in Dantian at all.

Nine o'clock, go to bed on time.

When she opened her eyes, it was exactly seven o'clock in the morning.

Dai Qing looked at the small alarm clock on the table, and bitterness flashed in her eyes. In her previous life, she got up at 5:30 every day to make breakfast for everyone. She was busy until everyone went to work, and then she had the chance to sit down and eat something to fill her stomach, and then she started to wash the family's clothes.

They are all work cloths. Once wet, they become hard and difficult to wash, especially if they are stained with oil. You can rub them until your arms become numb.

After being in a daze for a while, Dai Qing got up, washed up, and then went out to buy two fried dough sticks for thirty cents, a bowl of soy milk for twenty cents, and a breakfast for fifty cents.

In the early 1990s, many people could barely get by and prices were generally not high. Even so, after marrying into the Liu family, she made breakfast herself, steamed buns, flower rolls, and vegetarian dumplings. She took turns making them. Only when Liu Ming asked for fried dough sticks or candy cakes would her mother-in-law go buy them. Everyone in the family had one, except her.

After breakfast, I started to tidy up the house, clean the bathroom, and classify all the items, especially grandpa's room. I packed up the things he left behind and locked them in the cupboard.

Grandpa worked as a security guard at a scrapyard and collected a lot of bottles and cans. I heard that they were all vintage. She had never paid attention to them before and now she couldn't quite understand them.

I wonder if Liu Min threw everything away after she took over the house?

Bang bang bang~

"Xiaoqing, is Xiaoqing here?"

Dai Qing frowned when she heard Aunt Wang's anxious voice. She was stunned when she opened the door. Aunt Wang had gauze wrapped around her left hand and a net bag with three or four apples in her right hand.

When he saw her open the door, his eyes lit up.

"Xiao Qing, I didn't expect you to be right. If I had known earlier, I would have listened to you and not moved forward..."

Just as Dai Qing guessed, she didn't take the reminder seriously and just did what she had to do. After breakfast, she went to the community to report as usual. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw two people arguing with each other. The reason was a lost cat. The cat owner wanted to take the cat away after finding it, but the person who picked up the cat didn't want to return it, so the two started to fight.

Aunt Wang went over to try to stop the fight, but both of them were still angry and neither was willing to let go first. The cat was frightened and suddenly jumped out, grabbing the back of Aunt Wang's hand with one claw, leaving three bloody marks so deep that the bone was visible.

When the two saw that they had gotten into trouble, they stopped fighting and went their separate ways. Aunt Wang went to the clinic, and when she cleaned the wound, the doctor said the wound was too deep and recommended that she get a rabies vaccine.

After a lot of trouble, he jumped up as soon as he sat on the sofa and ran over without waiting for a moment.

"Xiao Qing, tell mom what I should be careful about in the future. You don't know that the rabies vaccine is not cheap. It's enough for me to buy several pounds of pork."

Hearing Aunt Wang's distressed tone, Dai Qing curled her lips and said, "Don't worry, Aunt. There won't be any accidents in the near future."
