Martial Arts Master

When he came out with two bags of things, Lou Cheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He couldn't utter a lot of words that he had prepared, and said in a daze, "Dad, Mom, this is my gift for you."

"Gifts?" Lou Chengma put down the things in her hands, and looked at him with surprise and suspicion, "Why do you want to buy us gifts? Did you make any mistakes in school? Don't worry, we don't blame you."

Seeing that his mother had such a misunderstanding that he was his real mother, Lou Cheng almost laughed, his embarrassment dissipated a lot, and he handed over the gift while explaining: "No, this is the first gift I earned purely by myself. I bought it for a sum of money, and the one for Dad is a woolen sweater, and the one for you is two sets of warm autumn clothes, go and try it on and see if you can wear it."

"I earned the first sum of money to buy it?" Lou Cheng's mother was startled for a while, then couldn't hide her smile, and said happily, "Oh, this, this, you know how to be filial, oh, it would be great if you have this kind of heart .”

Lou Cheng's father took the bag, took out the sweater inside, coughed and said, "What gift to buy, you are still studying, it's not easy to earn some money, save it for yourself, your parents don't have any shortage clothes to wear."

While he was speaking, he held the sweater tightly with his right hand, as if no one could take it away.

Seeing this scene, Lou Cheng was amused and wanted to cry, he resisted the tumbling emotions and said, "Don't worry, I have private money left by myself, you guys quickly see if it suits you."

Lou Cheng's mother's eyes were already slightly red, and while looking at the label, she nagged, "If you want to buy clothes as a gift, please tell us first, if you buy the wrong one, you will have to wait for several days before you can exchange it for the New Year's Eve. Do you keep it? Hey, I can wear it, and the size is right."

"Hey, I secretly went through your closets." Lou Cheng turned himself in.

"You kid, your brain is getting smarter." Lou Chengma cursed with a smile.

Lou Cheng's father read the label, raised his glasses, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said, "Are you earning money through work-study?"

"No, didn't I say that I joined the university martial arts club before? It turned out that some martial arts talents improved quickly. After the holiday, I simply signed up for a group arena, entered the elimination stage, and got a bonus of several thousand yuan." Lou Cheng shrunk fifteen thousand to several thousand.

This is not intentional to deceive parents, but based on practical considerations.

Although starting high school, you don’t have to hand in the New Year’s money anymore, and keep it as a private house. In terms of money, the family is not too strict, but if the bonus of tens of thousands to several thousand is in her own hands, my mother may Don't worry, I'm afraid that I will spend it randomly, and I will squander it soon. After all, I am still a student who has not formally entered the society.

If she offers to save 10,000 yuan for herself as a daughter-in-law, there is no way to refuse it. You can't say that this is just for chasing your future daughter-in-law, right?

"Martial arts competition? It's very easy to get injured! Why do you want to participate in the competition! Are you injured?" Lou Chengma was startled, and there was a lot of chatter.

Lou Cheng put on a bodybuilding pose: "Mom, look at me so alive and kicking, how can I be injured? And there are high-level referees and supervisors in the official competition. Minor injuries are not a problem, and serious injuries are rare."

"That's not okay, accidents are inevitable!" Lou Cheng's mother worried.

Lou Cheng smiled and said, "It's really an accident, it's not safe to take a car, so why not take a car?"

"Bah, bah, bah! Don't be crowed!" Lou Chengma waved her hand.

At this moment, Lou Cheng's father spoke, and said with a smile, "Okay, don't talk about it, Cheng Zi came home this time, I think he has changed a lot, he is cheerful, and has his own opinions."

After a pause, his eyes turned to Lou Cheng: "You are now an adult, since you have made such a choice, we respect your choice, just to mention a few things, first, you can't waste your studies, second, Don’t give up on the path you choose, no matter how hard or tiring you are, remember that you chose it.”

"Well, Dad, the road I chose myself, I have to walk on my knees!" Lou Cheng replied with a catchphrase on the Internet.

Lou Cheng's mother glared at his father: "What's an adult? You've just finished college, so what's an adult?"

"At our time, there were quite a few eighteen-year-olds holding babies." Lou Cheng's father replied in a low voice.

"Hmph! Then you're twenty-six years old and still haven't dated!" Lou Chengma exposed him.

Seeing that his mother and father had quarreled and stopped nagging about martial arts, Lou Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, and after busy work, he helped to pack the last things.

"Hey, you know how to earn and show yourself." Lou Cheng's mother looked at her angrily, "Come on, help me put these things on."

The dog legs picked up the things, Lou Cheng cleared the way first, left the community, and went straight to the platform.

It's New Year's Eve, and the online car-hailing cars in cities like Xiushan are basically gone. They can only wait for taxis or buses. Of course, when they come back at night, Lou Cheng's father and Lou Cheng's mother also have other ways-several people they know in the community. I make a living by driving, which is also commonly known as a small black car. If you make a phone call and give some extra money, someone will still pick it up.

This is the benefit of the neighbors who used to be in the same factory and are quite familiar with each other, and it is also the details of the life of ordinary citizens.

At Jiuzhan Road, after changing trains, the family of three arrived at the house of Lou Cheng's grandparents.

This is an elevator apartment that was only repaired in recent years. The old couple sold the old house they had bought out as a down payment, and lived here with Uncle Lou Cheng.

The elevator went up and reached the sixteenth floor, Lou Cheng knocked on the anti-theft door.

After a while, the door opened, and a young man in his twenties smiled and said, "Chengzi, it's been so many days since you've been back, why don't you come over for a meal?"

Lou Xiang returned to his home, took out his slippers familiarly, and said while changing, "Hey, too many classmates have made appointments."

This is his cousin Lou Yuanwei, who is about 1.75 meters tall. He is not fat but has a round face. His facial features have the characteristics of the Lou family.

In the third year of junior high school, my family situation was not good, and I had almost no pocket money. It was all because of this cousin who stuffed some money from time to time, so I didn’t feel inferior. At that time, he was the good brother in China in my heart.

Lou Yuanwei is good at everything, but he loves to mess around too much. When he was in the third year of high school, he felt that going to college was boring, so he entered social work early, and later quit his job to start a business. I set up a restaurant, but these either didn’t make any money, or they were good at first, but they got worse and worse, so I had to close them. After a few years, his parents, that is, his second uncle and second aunt’s family, were almost wiped out. As a last resort, I begged my grandpa to sue my grandma recently, and went back to work in the old place.

"It's ok, you did well." Lou Yuanwei said with a smile, took out the slippers from the shoe cabinet, and handed them to Lou Cheng's father and Lou Cheng's mother, "Dad, aunt, come in quickly, it's windy outside .”

Lou Cheng's father was the first among the three siblings, but because of his focus on studying, he didn't get married until he was twenty-seven, so that Lou Cheng was more than five years younger than his second uncle's Lou Yuanwei.

Entering the living room, Lou Cheng was the first to hear the sound of the TV and cooking in the kitchen, and a middle-aged man with gray hair appeared in front of him.

"Second dad, grandma and second aunt are in the kitchen?" He greeted with a smile.

This is my second uncle, Lou Zhiqiang. Well, the three brothers and sisters of the Lou family are called Zhisheng, Zhiqiang, and Zhixian.

"Yes, I'm waiting for your mother to help." Lou Zhiqiang nodded.

"You guys are so capable, what else do you need my help for? Are you a chef?" Qi Fang, Lou Cheng's mother, sarcastically said a few words.

Lou Zhiqiang is the best relative she often talks about.

Lou Zhiqiang didn't study much, but chose to be a soldier, entered the cooking class, got married after changing jobs, and drove in the Xiushan City Health Bureau. He used to be a car driver and was often close to the leader. It is very likely that he will become a confidant and get better development , but the leader changed one group after another, and after the other drivers in the small car class went their separate ways, he was still just a driver.

In the words of their colleagues in the unit, this person's mouth is too stinky and mean, even if he doesn't show it in front of the leader, the rumors will always pass on, so he has been delayed again and again.

Fortunately, he also met some people, so he simply stopped working without pay, and found a relationship to contract a canteen. Because he came from the cooking class, he had good cooking skills, and his wife Wang Lili was hardworking and willing to work, so those years were very successful. booming.

Lou Cheng's parents once asked him to borrow money in the most difficult time, but he rejected him harshly. In addition, Lou Cheng's grandparents felt that the eldest son had studied and was promising, so he didn't need to take care of him too much. With help and subsidies, the house and inheritance will belong to him after a hundred years, and Lou Cheng's mother will always complain if the bowl of water is not leveled.

Of course, the responsibility of living together to take care of the old couple is also completely handed over to Lou Zhiqiang and his wife, who have rights and obligations.

Hearing Lou Cheng's mother Qi Fang's sarcasm, Lou Zhiqiang said awkwardly: "There are more dishes to cook."

In the past few years, the business of the cafeteria has declined, and he has not contracted any more contracts, and his son has been too troublesome, and his family is almost wiped out. less appeared

Qi Fang said it anyway, and after a few sarcasm, she went to the kitchen.

"Chengzi, I'm going back to my room to play games first, and I'll be nagging about my partner if I stay in the living room." Lou Yuanwei patted Lou Cheng's shoulder and whispered.

"If you can escape the first day of the new year, you can't escape the fifteenth day." Lou Cheng couldn't help but joked.

He had heard his mother nagging about this matter, saying that his grandparents and second uncle felt that Lou Yuanwei was too much trouble, and wanted to find him a wife to take care of him and settle his temper.

"One day counts as being chic!" Lou Yuanwei replied with "sorrow and indignation".

Watching him enter the room, Lou Cheng turned and walked towards the sofa, and called out "Grandpa" to the old man sitting in the main seat.

This hale and hearty white-haired old man was his grandfather Lou Debang. He was partial to his second son and loved his grandson. When he saw Lou Cheng coming over, he smiled and said, "Are you getting used to school? Come on." , eat some strawberries."

It really is a family, and the questions are all the same... Lou Cheng slandered a few words, casually said something about the school, then turned his head to look at a middle-aged woman who came out of the kitchen, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Xixi Woolen cloth?"

"She is lying in the guest room. You can go and talk about her. Her grades have dropped again recently. If she is half as obedient as you, I will be satisfied!" Lou Zhixian sighed.

As a primary school teacher, I failed to teach my daughter well.

"Okay." Lou Cheng readily agreed, "Hey, where's uncle?"

"Him? Jiale was clamoring to buy hand cannons, so I had to take him to a nearby supermarket." Lou Zhixian pointed out the window.

Ma Jiale is their youngest son, just seven years old, nine years behind their eldest daughter Ma Xi.

Standing up, Lou Cheng walked towards the guest room, only to see a lamp on inside, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl was lying on the bed playing with her mobile phone in the dim light.

"Xixi, you don't even say hello when you see second brother?" Lou Cheng smiled and said to the rebellious girl.

Ma Xi wore neat bangs, looking a bit cute, and pouted when she heard the words: "My mother must have asked you to come in and talk about me, and let me study hard, right?"

"Okay, I won't say anything." Lou Cheng sat on the edge of the bed, "Why are you sulking here?"

He could tell at a glance that the cousin was unhappy.

Ma Xi's facial features are only normal, but the youthful aura of a girl rushes towards her face, and she said bitterly: "I don't want to go out and look at them, Ma Jiale, Ma Jiale, I think it's almost called Ma Jiabao!"

Lou Cheng smiled and shook his head: "Are you angry because of this?"

Without waiting for Ma Xi to answer, he continued on his own: "To be honest, my mother often nags my grandparents to be biased and always entangled in house matters, but in my heart, I always feel that this is not a big deal, especially when I arrived recently. I have been studying abroad for half a semester, and I have seen a lot of things, so I don’t take them to heart.”

"I have hands and feet, I can read and have a talent, but I'm afraid I won't make money. Why do I have to care about that little thing? With a broad vision and a high spirit, many things will be taken lightly."

That's right, I earned fifteen thousand yuan in ten days!

That's right, for a professional group arena match between the ninth and eighth ranks, the prize money for the champion is more than 100,000 yuan. If you enter the professional martial arts circle and become a high-ranking expert, will you still care about a house in a small city?

"Second Brother, what exactly do you want to say?" Ma Xi listened with gusto, but knew that Lou Cheng definitely didn't just say this.

Because of her younger brother Ma Jiale's affairs, her relationship with her father's relatives was not very good, but she felt that Lou Yuanwei and Lou Cheng were biological brothers.

Lou Cheng let out a hey, "I'm telling you, it's useless to be sullen. Once you've learned a lot, your vision has improved, and you've become self-reliant, you'll look down on younger brothers. There's nothing to argue about. Whoever your parents love, you Loving yourself is the most important thing."

Ma Xi took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled: "Second brother, what you said is quite reasonable..."

"And to improve your horizons and knowledge, and to have the ability to be self-reliant, the best and most possible way for you is to study, read good books, go to a big city and a university, and have the ability to make a living in the future." Lou Cheng At first, he was serious, and suddenly said with a smirk: "So, study hard!"

Ma Xi was stunned for a moment, then raised his voice: "Okay, you're still talking about studying!"

"That's what I said, you can listen to it or not." Lou Cheng stood up and walked out of the guest room slowly.

Watching his back disappear, Ma Xi was in a daze, and it took him a long time to say to himself:

"study well……"
