Farming, learning Wu, and peace in the world

Chapter 68 General
Just as masters usually ask apprentices to help with work, the teachers in the martial arts hall will occasionally invite a group of students to help themselves with some private work. The Republic of China has its own style.

"I was too smug before."

Chi Qiaosong sat on the stool, watched the students busy, and thought of his previous self.

Back then when he went to his teacher Hao Bozhao's home to ask for advice, his wife treated him the same way, telling him to do this and that at every turn, all in a tone of naturalness.

Now it seems that it is indeed a matter of course, but I can't adapt to it.

"I just made a pot of broth. Come, you all have a bowl." Mother Chi was carrying a large iron pot, which was full of fragrant broth.

The meat is the roe deer meat that Chi Qiaosong hunted in the forest farm of Shikou Township before the Chinese New Year. They are all natural wild animals. The big bones are used to make soup, and the taste is particularly pure.

"Thank you, auntie." Li Weiwei and the others thanked them repeatedly.

Taking advantage of the break, Ikehashi Song asked Wang Minzhong: "Minzhong, how is your "Mad Cow Powerful Fist" practice?"

Wang Minzhong smiled bitterly: "I have no idea."

Li Weiwei said with jealousy and pantothenic acid: "You are already good. You have such thick arms. Unlike us, there is no hope of practicing martial arts in this life."

"Break through earlier so that we can call you Senior Brother Wang." Some students teased.

Chi Qiaosong gave advice: "Knocking down is the way to go, but if you have the conditions, you might as well give Teacher Xu Jingyang a gift and practice "Yu Jian", you may learn by analogy."

Chi Qiaosong himself knows "Sword of Yu", but he doesn't plan to compete with Xu Jingyang for his job.

The main reason is that teaching students is too tiring and a waste of time.

Wang Minzhong nodded heavily: "I'll wait and see. It's best if I can break through. If I can't break through, I'll go to Teacher Xu."

Li Weiwei put his arms around him and asked, "Mr. Xu's fees are not cheap, where do you get the money to give gifts?"

"I'll go to my parents. No matter what, I'll come up with the gift money." Wang Minzhong gritted his teeth and said, his parents have remarried and paid child support, so they basically don't care about him.

but.

For his own martial arts, he planned to ask for some more cheeky money, and double the compensation in the future.

Afterwards, Ikehashisong made a point or two to each of the other students to guide their martial arts practice—maybe most of these students could not reach the level of wrestlers, but they should always be given some hope.

Many people are powerful.

Soon the wasteland will be leveled.

In the evening, the overseas students had a meal at home, and Ikehashi-matsu sent the students down the mountain.

"Second son, Yixiang, you go back and contact the bricklayer and buy all the materials. I'll tidy up the house here." Father Chi squatted at the door, teasing the big yellow dog casually, "Go back and pull out the bricks of the old house, If you can use it to build a house, you can save a little bit.”

"The old house has been demolished, where do we live?"

"Aren't there still two mud houses?"

"It's not enough, there are so many of us." The second uncle shook his head.

"Squeeze the mud house, women and children can live there, let's go to the Houshan farmhouse and squeeze with Xiaosong. Besides, the three brick and tile houses are not demolished one at a time, so we should first demolish one and move the bricks out."

Father Chi tried his best to save money.

But after Ikehashi Song came back, he directly rejected this decision: "Buy new bricks to build a house, why save the two dollars, I will earn it back by hunting two more times."

Father Chi said: "It takes a lot of money to build a house. It's not enough to just build it. You also need to paint the walls, decorate it, and buy furniture. Everything costs money. It's a waste to keep the old house."

"You earn money after spending it, are you afraid that I won't earn money?"

"No matter how much money you earn, you can't waste it."

Father Chi's concept of thrift has been cultivated for many years, and it is difficult to change it for a while.

Ikehashisong took another approach and persuaded: "Where will it be wasted? My back mountain farmhouse will also be refurbished in the future, and the bricks from the old house should be used to renovate the house. I also need bricks for road construction. Can't they all be used. "

The second uncle and the younger uncle also persuaded: "Yes, brother, Xiao Song is right!"

Only then did Father Chi put out the idea of ​​tearing up the old house.

...

...

...

After returning to the farmhouse and feeding the axe, Ikehashi Matsu washed his face, butt, and feet, and lay down on the bed.

It's still cold today, although warriors can resist freezing, who doesn't like a warm bed.

He turned on the radio by the bed.

Listen to the "Central Broadcasting News" program on time.

Ever since he got this radio, he has fallen in love with "Central Broadcasting News". Through this program, he can learn about many news about the Great Xia and the Republic of China.

In particular, there is a link called "The General", which literally refers to the "general" who plays chess, but actually invites generals from all walks of life to come for interviews.

Generals, please talk freely about the disputes in the world and stretch your ambitions.

Hanging in the mouths of the generals, there is a very frequent word - enter Beijing.

The capital of the Great Xia Republic is Pingjing City. Entering Beijing means entering the center of power and becoming the top decision-maker. Every general hopes to enter Beijing one day.

Preside over the overall situation of the country.

Interestingly, most of these generals are local warlords, but many of their ideal governance plans include the policy of "cutting the feudal vassals".

"I think the current central government is weak, and several great masters and great celestial masters are at odds with each other, making the country's operation sluggish, and this is the main reason why we have been unable to rectify the administration of officials."

General Zhang Tianqi, the governor of Fengtian Province, a master in the realm of masters, is chatting on the radio.

He has a nickname in the newspaper, Zhang Dapao, and he often makes some bold remarks in interviews.Just like at this time, General Zhang Tianqi scolded the central tycoons, the local warlords, and even himself.

"The local warlords fight against the central government, and I'm one of them. Fengtian Province and the central government have conflicts every year. Financial transfers are almost non-existent. People's lives are becoming more and more fiery. I am the first to blame!"

"I set up a cannon for the common people of Fengtian, and bow down here to make amends!"

Then the host praised General Zhang Tianqi's actions, praised him as a real man, sincerely caring for the common people, and so on.

Ikehashi Matsu couldn't help but want to laugh.

He believed that at least three points of General Zhang Tianqi's words came from the heart, but the remaining seven points were all for show.

But one thing is clear: "It seems that the warlords have been fighting for many years, and even the warlords themselves are miserable... Everyone has the dream of achieving reunification."

After listening to "The General", Ikehashi Song sighed a few times and then changed the channel.

Switched to the local radio station in Mokan County to hear what happened in the county.

"It is reported that at noon today, when the staff of the Hydrology Bureau inspected the water level of the Pengli Great Lake during the dry season, they found traces of a giant water lizard crawling, and concluded that this giant water lizard may have practiced for 500 years."

Then the two hosts, male and female, chatted about Da Shuizhi.

The hostess said: "A snake is a big snake that has acquired spirituality and become a spirit beast. The big snake that lives in the water is called the big water snake, and the big snake that lives in the soil is called the big soil snake."

The male host said: "Yes, this beetle, whether it is a big water beetle or a big earth beetle, will become powerful after 500 years of cultivation."

"Oh, what a powerful way?"

"You have to know that the lifespan limit of 虺 is 500 years, and it will go through the catastrophe after 500 years, that is, God has given it a life-and-death catastrophe, and it will become a jiao..."
