In the early morning of the second day, it was just dawn.
Dahu climbed out of bed early.
He came to the door of Erfeng's room and shouted: Stone, stone...
Erfeng replied, "Brother, Shitou is still sleeping."
Dahu responded: Wake him up quickly.
Erfeng said: Brother, call him so early!
Dahu replied: It’s still early! It's daybreak.
Erfeng replied: It's such a cold day, how many of you!
Shitou turned over and called out: Sister Erfeng, who are you talking to.
Erfeng said: I am talking to my eldest brother.
Dahu shouted: You go on sleeping!
Shitou rubbed his eyes and shouted: Brother, wait for me.
Dahu said: You go over and wash up, I will wait for you in the living room.
Erfeng shouted: Shitou, put on this sweater.
Shitou replied: Sister Erfeng, give me the sweater.
"Put it on for me." Erfeng pulled the sweater with both hands and said:
Shitou took the sweater and replied: I will do it myself, I will do it myself.
Erfeng called out: Today is the market day, so I will get up early.
Shi Shi put on his shoes and walked in a hurry.
He walked out of the room and saw Xu Hongping shaking her clothes.
He ran forward and shouted: Mom, you get up too.
Xu Hongping said: Your brother yelled at you so loudly, it’s no wonder I didn’t wake up!
However, I have to go to the market today. If he doesn't wake me up, I will get up and cook.
"Shitou, what are you talking about here! Why don't you go in and wash up?" Dahu shouted:
Shitou turned around and ran away.
Dahu came over and shouted: Mom, good morning.
Xu Hongping said blankly: What is "good morning"!
Dahu smiled and said: Mom, "good morning" is not a thing, it means "good morning".
Xu Hongping said: Good morning is called "good morning".
"Mom, what did you say?" Erfeng asked:
Xu Hongping responded: I said "good morning".
Erfeng wondered: What is "good morning"!
Dahu argued: It is a greeting for foreigners...
"Aren't foreigners just foreign devils? Just say foreign devils..." Xu Hongping interrupted:
"They are foreign devils." Dahu said with a smile:
"Are the foreign devils bullying the Chinese again?"
Dahu turned his head and said: Shitou, you know a lot!
Xu Hongping stretched out her hand and whispered: "Let's go this way."
"I know a little bit. Commander Fang told me about it. He told me about the January 28 Incident." Shitou responded:
Dahu patted Shitou on the shoulder and said: Today, China is suffering from internal and external troubles, and young people like Shitou are in urgent need of safeguarding and defending our entire land of China.
Shitou called out: Brother, what can I do!
Dahu pushed the stone towards the outside of the house and said: First, you must learn to exercise.
Shitou replied: How should I exercise!
Dahu responded: You get up every morning and run around...
"that is it!"
"Do you have any questions!"
Shitou said disdainfully: It's still early, I'll go back and lie down for a while.
Dahu walked into Shaiguping and shouted: Shitou, come here and push me.
Shitou then said: Why should I push you!
Dahu made a horse stance and called out: You can push me, I won't stop you no matter what you do!
"You are so loud! I admit, I can't beat you, but I can push you more than enough." Shitou turned around and stretched out his hand to push Dahu.
Dahu said: "Let your horse come over, you don't have to be afraid of pushing me down."
Shitou retracted his hand and pushed Dahu hard.
Dahu didn't move at all.
Shitou took a breath and pushed straight towards Dahu.
Dahu stood motionless.
The sweat on his forehead was dripping like beans.
After pushing the stone for a while, he gasped: What a ghost today. Look at it like this. Maybe I didn't eat...
"You can push me after you've finished your meal." Dahu put his feet together and said:
Shitou replied: No need, I just realized now that I am so useless.
Dahu argued: You are very useful, my forehead is covered with sweat.
Shitou giggled and said: Haha!
Dahu called out: The power of the stone is very powerful, especially the momentum in your heart, it is simply shocking.
Shitou sneered: Brother, don't laugh at me! I didn't push you out even half a step.
Dahu responded: If I let you push out even half a step, I would be completely finished.
Shitou was puzzled and said: Why did brother say this?
Dahu said: What I just stabbed was the horse step. The horse step talks about the unity of spirit and form. You have to distribute your strength throughout your body so that you can resist external forces with all your strength. You have to stay vigilant at all times. Once you relax, the opponent will have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and defeat you.
Shitou touched his cheek and replied: That's it!
Dahu shouted: Shitou, you make a horse stance and let me see.
Shitou bent his feet and said: I have never stabbed the horse step.
Dahu continued: "Stimulate all the strength in your body."
He moved closer to the stone—and gave it a little push.
The stone kept moving back.
"How could it happen? I used all my strength. You pushed me gently and I took four or five steps back." Shitou looked left and right and called:
Dahu replied: So, you have to exercise frequently.
Shitou asked: Will practicing running be useful?
Dahu was doing sit-ups and said: Don't look down on anything! Those are all basic skills. Only by practicing them well can you become extraordinary.
Shitou called out: Brother, I want to show you some tricks.
Dahu muttered: It seems that you are not convinced.
Shitou replied, "I'm not convinced."
Dahu sneered and said: Let’s compete again.
Shitou replied: I will be afraid of you!
Dahu waved his hand and called: Come here.
Shitou said: Brother, keep an eye on yourself, I will not show mercy this time.
Dahu smiled and said: I like you - without mercy.
Shitou stared at Dahu and kicked him with a series of kicks.
Dahu leaned forward, clenched his fist with his left hand, and punched Shitou's wrist.
"Pa! Ouch!" Shitou shrank and rolled on the ground.
Dahu said: Shitou, do you want to come again?
Shitou waved his hand and groaned: No more fighting.
Dahu stretched out his hand and shouted: Get up.
Shitou took Dahu's hand and whispered: I'm convinced. I fought with you twice. You knocked me down in three or two blows both times, but you were unscathed.
Dahu advised: Shitou, you don't need to be discouraged. Your body is excellent and your comprehension is not bad. If you train it, you will be "even better" than me.
Shitou smiled and said: Brother, what are you trying to do to me? How capable I am! I know it in my heart!
Dahu said: What do you know! I should call the person my sister marries brother-in-law, not a coward.
Shitou said with a straight face: I'm not a coward. Just because I didn't beat you today doesn't mean I won't be able to beat you in the future.
Dahu praised: You are ambitious, I like your stubbornness.
"But you don't dare to exercise, so why talk about anything else! What about the future!" Dahu continued:
Shitou then said: What am I afraid of!
Dahu called out: During the time I am at home, if you exercise with me every day, I will take back what I just said and say to you loudly, "You are not a coward."
If you fail to persist!
Don't blame me!
Shitou replied: Deal, I will do as you say.
Dahu said: One more thing, "what happened just now" was an agreement between us, I don't want others!
Shitou responded: I promise not to tell anyone, including Sister Erfeng.
Dahu walked to the center of Shaiguping and lay on the ground doing sit-ups.
Stone followed suit.
Dahu pushed himself up and immediately stood up.
The stone stood like a gourd.
Dahu shouted: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...
Stone shouted: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...
"6, 6, 6, 6 what? It's time to eat!"
Dahu raised his head and shouted: Sister, the rice is ready!
Erfeng responded: "It's cooked, you go in and eat."
Dahu said: Let’s go have a meal.
Erfeng went to wipe Shi Shi's sweat and called out: "What have you done!" The clothes inside were also wet.
Shitou was out of breath and replied: It's good to sweat a little in winter.
Dahu wiped the sweat with his hands and shouted: Sister, when you marry your husband, you will forget about your brother.
Erfeng then said: Who forgot you?
Dahu Lundao: You wiped your husband's sweat, didn't you see that your elder brother is sweating too?
Erfeng responded: Then I will wipe it for you.
Dahu replied: Forget it! If I don't remind you, you will think of your elder brother.
Erfeng replied: You!
Dahu said, "You don't even give me a handkerchief."
Erfeng said: Who told you not to marry a wife?
Dahu responded: "Whether I take a wife or not, it has nothing to do with you. Just keep talking about these useless things. Let's go in."
Erfeng pulled the stone and said with a smile: "Let's go!"
"Mom and Dad, you two are so glaring at each other, why are you sitting here without eating!"
Xu Hongping said: You rarely come home, we are waiting for you to have dinner together.
Dahu replied: Mom, you know me, I am used to being casual.
Shitou shouted: Mom and Dad, you have been waiting for a long time.
Xu Hongping responded: It won’t be long, but the winter meals will be cold when they are brought out...
"Hurry up and gather around." Uncle Tang gestured and shouted:
Erfeng filled a bowl of rice and pushed it in front of Dahu.
Dahu picked up the chopsticks and sighed: Hey! A little wine would be perfect.
Uncle Tang continued: Hu'er likes to drink.
Dahu argued: I don’t like drinking. I drink some wine occasionally. There are so many dishes on the table today, so I have some wine to cheer up...
"What are you doing! Just hold it in. I hate the smell of alcohol, especially the smell of drunkenness. It's so smelly that it can kill people..." Xu Hongping said:
"Ping'er (Xu Hongping), Hu'er just came home, we just follow him." Tang Bo said:
"Can you not obey! You are greedy too!" Xu Hongping replied:
"Ping'er, I'm not as mean as you think." Uncle Tang replied:
"Mom, brother came all the way back. If he wants to have a drink, you have to stop him. He just needs to stop in moderation..." Shitou advised:
"It's not that I don't let him drink, I'm afraid that he will get drunk and that he will be addicted to alcohol..." Xu Hongping said:
"Mom, I won't get drunk, let alone be addicted to alcohol." Dahu replied:
"I'm going to get the wine." Uncle Tang stood up and entered the back room happily.
Dahu held the vegetables and shouted: Mom, you eat the vegetables.
Xu Hongping called out: You put it back...
"Mom, you have to eat the food I gave you today." Dahu argued:
"Hu'er, how is it!" Uncle Tang held up a bottle of foreign wine and shook it.
Dahu said excitedly: There are also foreign wines.
Shitou said: It was given by Officer Wang when Erfeng and I got married.
Dahu smiled and said: Really!
Shitou said: The taste of foreign wine is quite good. It is not as strong as white wine and does not have as much stamina as water wine.
Dahu pulled a few bowls over, poured a little into each bowl, and called out: "Our family is traveling all over the world, and it is rare to get together. Today, with this little wine in the cup, this little wine in the bowl, I Regards everyone.
Shitou shouted: Brother, Shitou is too drunk.
Dahu then said: If you have a small capacity for alcohol, just drink less.
Xu Hongping shouted: You two father and son are only allowed to drink one bowl.
Dahu glanced at Xu Hongping and replied: Just drink a bowl.
He raised the bowl and called out: Dahu has been away from home for many years, and there are thousands of words hidden in his heart, but now, I don't want to say them, all the words are in the wine.
Everyone picked up their bowls and drank one after another.
Dahu swallowed the wine in one gulp and shouted: Enjoy it.
Xu Hongping said: The fun is over, hurry up and eat.
Dahu whispered: Mom, I am studying outside. I care about you day and night. I care about Erfeng, especially Erfeng. She has been beautiful since she was a child. She is our village, our town, and even our city - —The most beautiful woman, I’m worried about Erfeng...
"So much nonsense." Xu Hongping said:
Uncle Tang put down the wine bowl and said, "Hu'er can think about the people at home when he stays outside to study. I'm happy from the bottom of my heart."
Dahu poured wine into Uncle Tang's bowl and called out: For this "pleasure", let's drink another bowl.
Xu Hongping shouted: You can't drink any more, or you will get drunk.
Dahu responded: Mom, don’t worry! We are far from drunk!
"You guys keep drinking, I'm going to feed the pigs." Xu Hongping threw her chopsticks and ran into the kitchen angrily.
Uncle Tang muttered: Hu'er, we made your mother angry.
Dahu replied: Let’s finish this bowl.
Shitou shouted: Drink quickly.
Uncle Tang saw Xu Hongping coming with a bucket and called out: Ping'er, I'll go with you to feed the pigs.
Xu Hongping replied: No need.
The stone placed the bowl and shouted: Mom, let me feed the pigs!
Dahu said: I will go with Shitou.
Xu Hongping responded: "I'll just go feed the pigs. You go inside and prepare the load. I'll go to the market when I come back."
Dahu continued: I haven’t gone shopping at home for several years, and I also want to go to the market.
Shitou moved the stool and said: Brother, let me pack up the burden...
