Siheyuan: Me! He Yuzhu defies fate and changes destiny

Li Cunyi nodded in approval, and at the same time thought that even so, He Yuzhu still had a very high status in the hearts of the younger generation. Maybe these little guys didn't play well with him, so he still needed to find opportunities for them to get close to each other from time to time. Just at this moment, Li Zhiwen ran in and shouted, "Dad, when is dinner?"

After hearing his son's words, Li Cunyi asked, "Can we eat now? Is the meal ready?" Li Zhiwen nodded in confirmation.

"Everything is ready, we can eat now!" He Yuzhu announced.

"Everyone is hungry, let's eat first and talk after we're done." After everyone agreed, they sat around the dining table.

At the table, everyone made good use of their time and ate quickly but still followed the rules. This showed that the children in the Li family still received a good etiquette education.

The meal lasted about an hour, and both adults and children had put down their bowls and chopsticks in satisfaction. Looking at the remaining dishes on the plates, everyone felt that today's meal was particularly delicious. They knew that before 1958, such sumptuous meals were a daily routine, but in the following years, even if the family's salary was not low, it was difficult to eat decent food. Especially now, the country is generally facing the problem of food shortage, and it is not easy to buy food even if you have money. Only the Northeast region can still rely on some wild game to cope with it, but the situation in other regions is much more serious. Almost the entire country is struggling to find food. This is not just a problem in a certain region, but it affects the entire land.

After the meal, Li Cunyi said, "Wen and Wu, this is your uncle's apprentice He Yuzhu. From now on, you can just call him Brother Zhuzi." After hearing this, everyone stepped forward to introduce themselves: "Hello, Brother Zhuzi, I'm Li Zhiwen." "Hello, Brother Zhuzi, I'm Li Zhiwu." Then came a series of introductions: "I'm Li Zhiqin." "I'm Li Zhihan." ... Including Li Zhiqin, Li Zhiqi, Li Zhishu, Li Zhihua and other children in the Li Mansion, He Yuzhu responded to their greetings one by one. After all, the number of children in this family is quite considerable.

After getting to know each other, Li Zhiwen asked a question: "Brother Zhuzi, I heard that you learned Chinese martial arts from your uncle, is this true?" He Yuzhu nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I mainly learned Tai Chi, Baji, Wing Chun and Baguazhang. As for Xingyiquan, I have never learned it because my master is not good at it. But my uncle practiced Xingyiquan." After hearing this, Li Zhiwu asked: "Brother Zhuzi, can we learn from you?" He Yuzhu replied: "Of course, why not?"

Everyone was very excited when they heard the news. Especially Li Zhihua, she asked: "Can the sisters learn it too?" He Yuzhu smiled and replied: "Of course, both my sister and my wife are learning Chinese martial arts from me. Women can also practice boxing well."

Seeing this, Li Cunyi asked with concern: "Zhu Zi, these are all the skills of your master. Isn't it inappropriate to pass them on to others?" He Yuzhu responded: "That's not a problem. In the past, the country opened martial arts halls to teach Chinese martial arts to the people. At that time, there were no restrictions on the schools, and all martial artists could communicate and learn together. Later, the country entered a state of war, and almost all martial artists were mobilized to the battlefield, so the martial arts halls gradually stopped operating. The reason why no one continues to teach now is mainly because the country has experienced a long period of war and resources are extremely scarce; secondly, many martial artists are taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the current situation. After all, after mastering martial arts, they can indeed be superior to others in physical fitness. If they accidentally conflict with ordinary people, it is easy to cause tragedy. Today, our country still has a legal system to maintain social order."

Therefore, no one openly recruits apprentices. Most people privately look for a few outstanding disciples to ensure that their family heritage will not be cut off.

You know, since the outbreak of the war, the inheritance of many families has been interrupted. In our culture, the most important thing is inheritance, followed by the continuation of bloodline.

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Li Cunyi said, "So that's how it is. I thought it was because everyone was hiding something."

He Yuzhu responded:

"This actually has little to do with hiding something. As the saying goes, 'the poor are good at literature, the rich are good at martial arts'. If a martial artist does not have sufficient resources to support him, it will be difficult for him to make progress.

Because of this, people often choose people from better-off families as apprentices. I take on several younger brothers and sisters because I am able to provide them with the resources and support they need! ”

Li Cunyi nodded and said:

"If it's too much, just stop. After all, we're not rich yet." He Yuzhu smiled and replied:

"Uncle, what you said is your situation, but it's different for me. I have a lot of inventions and creations. I won't talk about the specific projects, but each project can bring tens of thousands of yuan in rewards.

So I am not worried about this problem, as long as they are willing to learn. ” Li Cunyi echoed:

"I believe it!"

At this time, the eldest cousin Li Minghua asked:

"Zhu Zi, do my children have a chance to learn from you?"

Both men and women present were well-informed. If they were ordinary families, they might not consider letting their children get in touch with such traditional skills.

Because in their view, martial arts is an art fraught with risks of violence and they are usually reluctant to let their children get involved.

But the people present knew that the risks in life were not limited to whether or not to practice martial arts. Not knowing martial arts could also lead to danger. Moreover, practicing a martial art did not necessarily lead to using it in combat. Therefore, they all longed to send their offspring to be taught by He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu responded to Li Minghua:

"No problem, Auntie. Your children are welcome to study together."

The two young ladies, Li Mingshuang and Li Mingxue, who were standing nearby, understood that He Yuzhu's words also included them. The two girls expressed their gratitude to He Yuzhu:

"Zhu Zi, thank you so much. We will introduce our brothers and sisters to you someday."

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement: "Yes, I also have a western-style building that has been decorated. If you have nothing to do, you can stay there for a few days. My sister and my wife don't like western-style buildings very much. The children who want to study in the future can contact me through the western-style building.

If you find it inconvenient to travel back and forth frequently, you can also let the children live there for a long time, after all, there are many rooms in that building. "

Everyone was about to decline his proposal, but He Yuzhu stopped them with his hand and said:

"My dear uncles and aunts, you all know that the unit I work in is confidential in nature. I can't tell you the specific work I do, but I am indeed quite busy.

The children can live and study together and take care of each other. After hearing this, Li Cunyi said:

"That's fine. The arrangements for these children will all depend on you from now on."

He Yuzhu smiled and said:

"Uncle, if it's Chinese martial arts, I have no problem at all. I can explain even difficult questions to you. But I really have limited time, and I can't guarantee that I will be by your side every day to guide you.

I will come to see you whenever I am free. When I am not here, you will have to consolidate your foundation on your own.

When I'm free, I'll help you answer your questions.

If everyone has no objection, then that's it; if anyone is unwilling, they can choose not to participate! "

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, no one minded too much, after all, he knew that he had his own things to do. Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, He Yuzhu said:

"Since you all agree, then this matter is settled. Zhiwen, come back to my house with me later and take a look at the place first.

When you have nothing to do, you can bring your brothers and sisters who are interested in learning to my house.

Everyone has a single room, and if that is not enough, several people can share one room.

You guys can handle the specific arrangements yourselves, I won't interfere!"

Li Cun Yi realized that if he taught the children at home, it would be too high-profile. Then other children would also want to learn. Should He Yuzhu teach them?

Who will pay for the food of these children? These issues need to be considered.

Therefore, teaching in He Yuzhu's villa is the most appropriate choice. Li Cunyi nodded:

"That's good! Thank you for your help, Zhuzi!" He Yuzhu waved his hand:

"Don't be so formal, we are a family and there is enough room for them at home.

In fact, this villa is only visited for a few days occasionally during festivals and the cold winter months. It is usually idle.

Once the children have adapted to the new environment and their studies are on track, they will return to school in the city to continue their studies and life.

Practicing martial arts is just a part of your hobby. It cannot be mastered in a day or two. It requires time and accumulation to improve.

The word "Kung Fu" is something that is accumulated slowly over time."

Adults know this very well, but children don't think so. The martial arts world they imagine is full of scenes of flying in the clouds and climbing walls...

But that was something from a novel after all. The only thing that was good about He Yuzhu was that he knew some Qinggong, but he didn't have any other powerful skills and he wasn't willing to show them off.

After dinner and chatting for a while, He Yuzhu drove Li Zhiwen to see his family's villa, which was actually one of his usual residences.

After learning that He Yuzhu's family lived on the third floor, Li Zhiwen decided to arrange for his younger brothers and sisters to live on the second floor.

After all, most people learn martial arts by practicing at home.

After looking at the house, He Yuzhu left a spare key for Li Zhiwen, returned it to him, and then went straight home.

After arriving home, his wife Chen Xueru saw He Yuzhu coming back and asked him, "Zhuzi, how was your meeting with the people over there today?"

He Yuzhu described in detail what happened today and said:

"I thought this was just our first acquaintance, but I think we should keep in touch with the Li family more. There are eight brothers and sisters in the Li family, and the master is my eldest brother. Currently, seven of them are still alive."

Everyone is very capable. The second oldest is an instructor, the third oldest is a deputy instructor, the fourth oldest belongs to a special agent unit, the fifth oldest is the police chief, and the three daughters also hold leadership roles in different departments, as do their partners.

Therefore, this favor is mainly to pave the way for our children's future and is of no use to me.
