Song Yuancheng had not gone to bed yet. He was leaning against the wall and listening to the program on the radio box. After understanding Zhang Guangpu's worries, he laughed.
"This kid is amazing! Even though he's only thirteen, even adults like us can't do anything about him. Where does he get his money from? I'm telling you, this kid came to our factory today to sell broken glass. Do you know how much he made?"
Zhang Guangpu shook his head. How would he know?
"He used the Jiangwei Brigade's tractor to haul it there. He sold over 3,000 kilograms for a little over 23 yuan. After deducting the cost, I calculate he made at least 15 yuan. Do you think he'd be broke?"
Zhang Guangpu blinked in disbelief.
Wan Feng didn't know that he was suspected of being a thief behind his back. When Zhang Guangpu went to Song Yuancheng's house to verify, he rode his bicycle home in the dark. When passing the Shutun River, he almost fell into the river with his bicycle.
The reason was that Xu Bin took Xu Meilin wandering around on the road by the river.
"You two, it's already hellish time. Why are you hanging around here instead of going home to sleep?"
When Xu Meilin saw that the person coming over with the clanging noise was Wan Feng, she immediately ran over and held Wan Feng's hand.
"Brother! Mom is washing clothes upstairs. We are waiting."
Ever since Xu Meilin's mother wanted to marry Xu Meilin to Wan Feng as his future daughter-in-law, Wan Feng started calling Xu Meilin's mother "Mom". This is also the reason why Xu Bin and his sister call Wan Feng brother.
Wan Feng got out of the car and went to the river to say hello to Xu Bin's mother.
"Brother! Where did you go in the dark? It seems there are no movies showing tonight?" Xu Bin asked.
"I'm going to Liutun to do something. Take your sister home and go to bed. She's just feeding mosquitoes here."
"She's not going back. She wants to play here."
Wan Feng kicked Xu Meilin on the butt: "Go home and go to sleep."
"No!" Xu Meilin tilted her head and took Wan Feng's bean bun as not dry food.
"Don't go back? Then there won't even be any sugar left."
These words were indeed powerful. Although Xu Meilin was reluctant, she still followed Xu Bin home obediently.
After returning to my grandfather's house, my uncle went to the ditch to play as usual, and the west room where Wan Feng and Zhu Ping lived seemed deserted.
Fortunately, there was no power outage today.
Wan Feng closed the door tightly and drew the curtains. If his grandma found out that he was reading with the light on, she would definitely nag him again.
Wan Feng lay in bed and took out the book called Wrestling and opened it.
The first chapter is the preface, which mainly introduces the origin, development and schools of Yan State wrestling.
These contents were of no use to Wan Feng, so he just skipped them and went on to the formal content.
First, the various wrestling techniques and footwork are introduced, such as left wrestling stance, right wrestling stance, straight stance, top stance, cover step, slide step, drill kick...
After the film Shaolin Temple appeared, a martial arts craze swept across the country in the mid-1980s, and various martial arts books and newspapers emerged like mushrooms after rain.
Wan Feng, who was in high school at that time, had read many published martial arts books.
According to the experience accumulated from reading martial arts books, in order to practice a martial arts routine well, the names of these steps and moves must be remembered.
Wan Feng began to carefully learn the names of various wrestling hands and feet.
Because of his background in boxing, he could remember these things very quickly.
It was around ten o'clock when Zhu Ping came back. When he saw Wan Feng was still awake, he immediately glared at him.
"Ah! You don't have school tomorrow, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Wan Feng sneered, "Let's not jump onto the coal pile like crows and laugh at each other's blackness, okay? You won't be working tomorrow?"
"I'm young and strong, so staying up late is no big deal."
Look at this bullshit, it's like I'm in my seventies or eighties.
Zhu Ping got on the kang and crawled into bed to receive treatment.
"How much did you win tonight?"
"Fifty cents, hey! How did you know I won money?"
In the dark, the uncle and nephew began to tell lies.
"Tsk! I told you before, if you are successful in paying off debts, you will suffer failures. Conversely, if you fail in love, the casino will naturally make you successful."
Zhu Ping was silent for a moment. "It seems to make sense. The last time Jiang Xue agreed to marry me, I lost three or four cents that night. You and I didn't take it seriously. Now you don't know how strong my hands are. I've lost two bald spots in just seventy."
Four against one, seventy against one, shaving the opponent bald is the biggest hand to win money. One, two, three, seventy against one, the other four people lose four points to the dealer, and they win one cent and six.
Bah! It's meaningless no matter how you calculate it.
In his previous life, Wan Feng didn't gamble much, but he would occasionally play mahjong or something, and he would always start with one yuan.
"Uncle, you're still so gloomy, how come you're in the mood to play? It seems like you and my future aunt are quite close. Have you guys reached the point of being completely devoted to each other?"
"What do you mean by utterly devoted?"
Typical peasant consciousness, they don’t even understand this.
"Which step is it... the cross and circle?"
Wan Feng asked this question casually. He also knew that according to the concepts at that time, it was impossible for Zhu Ping and his girlfriend to develop to that level.
"What are crosses and circles?"
Wan Feng was speechless. How could he explain it further?
"sleep!"
If you can’t explain it, just go to sleep and have peace and quiet.
At five o'clock the next morning, Wan Feng got up on time, walked out of his grandmother's house through the back door, and ran all the way to the beach by the Inna River.
The riverbed of the Yinna River belongs to the Wahou Team and is about five or six hundred meters long. If this riverbed is divided into three sections, the beach where Wanfeng is located is the last section. Another hundred meters down, it enters the territory of the Dapuzi Team, which is the rubber dam area.
This place is called Laodaokou. The reason why it is called Laodaokou is that the water here is shallow. If a carriage wants to reach the shore, it can only pass through here, and it cannot pass through other places.
This is also the largest sandy beach in this section of the river, covering an area of dozens of acres, with a thick layer of sand formed due to years of accumulation.
There are some sand-loving plants near the river bank, and it is lush and green in summer.
Wan Feng's training place is located among the plants that are more than one meter tall on the river bank. In the past two months, he has trampled out a space here.
After doing two sets of kick-poking exercises as a warm-up, Wan Feng took the book that Zhang Guangpu gave him, and read and practiced at the same time. In more than half an hour, he memorized the first routine taught in this wrestling book.
This is a short routine called Empty Hand, which mainly practices various grasping techniques and is relatively simple.
Grabbing is a crucial part of wrestling; if you can't grab your opponent, how can you throw him down? Therefore, even though this routine is relatively simple, Wan Feng practiced it very diligently.
Wan Feng practiced this routine several times until he memorized all the catching methods, then he went back to have breakfast and go to school.
