Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 80: Practicing boxing without practicing skills is all in vain
"Did you bring it back?"

When Qu Yinfeng saw Li Guoqiang and Xu Dani coming back, she hurriedly asked.

"Bring it back!"

Li Guoqiang nodded when he heard this, and then said unhappily, "I'm crawling into the doghouse with a big spotted dog right now!"

"Ah!"

Seeing Li Guoqiang's childish temper, Qu Yinfeng couldn't help but chuckle, and then said, "You are such a grown-up, why are you still angry with a dog?"

"I"

Li Guoqiang was just about to tell everyone about how Dahuang used the pig intestines he gave him to pick up girls, but suddenly he remembered that the origin of the pig intestines was not easy to explain, so he quickly shut his mouth.

"okay!"

Qu Yinfeng waved her hand, then laughed and said, "Since Da Huang is back, there's no need to worry about it running away again. Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner!"

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded when he heard this, then walked to the north kitchen, got a basin of hot water, and washed his hands with Xu Dani.

After a while, Qu Yinfeng brought the food to the kang table.

Li Guoqiang looked at the pot of fresh, fragrant and spicy chopped pepper fish head, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Auntie, I didn't expect you could cook Sichuan cuisine?"

"What? You can't eat spicy food?"

Qu Yinfeng was slightly stunned, then asked hurriedly.

"no no!"

Li Guoqiang waved his hand and explained, "I can eat spicy food. I'm just curious about where you learned Hunan cuisine!"

"Oh! Where else did you learn this? I learned this from my mom at home when I was young!"

Qu Yinfeng felt relieved, then laughed and spoke.

"Oh?"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, and then said in surprise: "So you are from Sichuan Province! No wonder I always feel that you are a little different from the other ladies in the village!"

"Why are they different? They both have two eyes and one mouth!"

Qu Yinfeng was slightly stunned, then asked with some curiosity.

"That's not what I'm talking about!"

Li Guoqiang shook his head, then explained softly, "What I meant is that you are much prettier than them, and you are not like them, carrying a pipe with you wherever you go and taking a few puffs whenever you have time."

"Ah!"

Qu Yinfeng was instantly amused when she heard this, and then she started to scold with a smile, "Look at what you are saying. I am already quite old, how can I tell what is beautiful or not?"

As soon as the voice fell, before Li Guoqiang could say anything, Xu Dani suddenly raised her chin and said seriously: "Grandma, big brother is right, grandma is beautiful, grandma is the most beautiful in our village!"

"When I grow up, I will definitely be as beautiful as grandma."

"Ha ha!"

Hearing the little girl bragging like that, Qu Yinfeng and Li Guoqiang looked at each other, and then they couldn't help laughing.

When Xu Dani saw their expressions, she immediately lowered her head shyly.

"Okay, let's eat while it's hot!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang quickly picked up his bowl and chopsticks and greeted them. Soon, the family of three was immersed in the delicious food.

In this cold winter, sitting on the kang, eating the fresh, fragrant and spicy chopped pepper fish head and drinking the soft, glutinous and sweet cornmeal porridge is so enjoyable.

While eating, Li Guoqiang thought that today he had not only removed Xu Dani's reputation as a disaster star, but also brought the loyal dog Dahuang home, which was a double happiness. So he took the initiative to propose to have a drink with Qu Yinfeng.

After eating and drinking their fill, they went to get some hot water, washed themselves, and then quickly climbed onto the fire pit and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, as soon as Li Guoqiang got up and finished his breakfast, Shang Xiuzhen came to his door very actively, ready to continue teaching Li Guoqiang boxing.

Seeing this, Qu Yinfeng did not disturb Li Guoqiang. She took Xu Dani and Da Huang and pulled the small sled to the back mountain to collect firewood.

Soon, Li Guoqiang and Shang Xiuzhen were the only couple left in the yard.

However, as time went on, not only did they not develop any romance or ambiguity between them, but there was even a bit of tension.

"Hey, are you listening to me? I told you to relax your body. Look at your hands, waist, and legs. Why are they so tense?"

Shang Xiuzhen frowned slightly, and used her hands to pinch Li Guoqiang's arms, waist and thighs from top to bottom, and then she couldn't help but scold him with some dissatisfaction.

If she continues to teach at this pace, it will take her forever to become a team leader?

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly relaxed his body.

However, before he could completely relax, he heard Shang Xiuzhen's scolding again.

"I asked you to relax your body, not to relax your whole body!"

“You must first unite your shoulders and hips, elbows and knees, hands and feet, and then keep your heart and energy stable to achieve unity of mind and intention.”

"Then you should concentrate your mind and calm your breath, allowing your mind and breath to merge. When the breath flows naturally through your body, you will achieve the unity of breath and strength."

"Only in this way can we achieve the connection between the upper and lower parts, the unity of the inside and the outside, the harmony of yin and yang, which is called the Six Harmonies. The internal strength of the whole body is also generated from this."

"As the saying goes, if you practice boxing without practicing kung fu, it will all be in vain. If you want to strengthen your body in the future, you must master this three-body stance training."

"I've told you so many times, how can you understand?"

Li Guoqiang looked at Shang Xiuzhen, who looked mad in front of him, and couldn't help but reveal an embarrassed look on his face.

He didn't know how other people performed when they were learning Xingyiquan. He only knew that even with the protection of Father Jin and the careful teaching of Shang Xiuzhen, he still couldn't understand what it meant to combine mind and intention, intention and qi, and qi and strength?
Could it be that his talent for martial arts is too poor?

"never mind!"

Shang Xiuzhen looked at Li Guoqiang's embarrassed expression, and her anger dissipated a little. Then she said unhappily, "I'd better teach you the moves of the Five Elements Boxing and the Twelve Elements Boxing first!"

After saying that, she immediately walked to the side, took up her stance and began to practice the first move of the Five Elements Boxing. She then asked Li Guoqiang to practice along, and stopped from time to time to correct his movements.

Of course, some physical contact is inevitable during this period.

Fortunately, Shang Xiuzhen was fully focused on teaching boxing, and Li Guoqiang came from an extremely open society in the future, so neither of them felt there was anything wrong.

Not long after, Shang Xiuzhen taught Li Guoqiang all the moves of the Five Elements Boxing and Twelve Forms Boxing. This time, Li Guoqiang got the hang of it quickly, which finally gave her some hope of becoming a team leader as soon as possible.

Afterwards, due to time constraints and excessive physical exertion, she could only plan to go back to eat before coming back to continue teaching Li Guoqiang to practice the three-body posture, hoping to get the team leader position today.

Li Guoqiang saw Shang Xiuzhen was about to leave, and tried to hold back, but in the end he couldn't help but ask, "Hey, can I ask how long it took you to learn Xingyiquan from your family?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Xiuzhen paused slightly and then extended a finger.

Then, without waiting for Li Guoqiang to ask any more questions, she turned around and left in a hurry.

Li Guoqiang: “.”
