Era: Starting from cave dwellings in northern Shaanxi

Chapter 135 My uncle is not a human being!

When Sun Xiangyang and Zhang Jiadong walked home, it was already dark outside, and the cold wind blew on their faces like a knife.

The old party secretary and Sha Hongcheng finally accepted the Five Emperors' money.

Before leaving, the old party secretary also told Sun Xiangyang something. It turned out that on the day he and Chen Shuting left Shuangshuiwan for the capital, Geng Guohai arrived in a hurry, as if something was urgent.

Because of what happened last time, the old party secretary didn't have a good impression of him. When asked why, the other party wouldn't tell him, so he simply used the reason that Sun Xiangyang was traveling far away and not at home to block the other party.

Then the next day and the third day, Geng Guohai visited again.

He only gave up after knowing that Sun Xiangyang was really not in Shuangshui Bay and had gone to the capital.

But since then, the other party has indeed never come again.

The reason why the old branch secretary told Sun Xiangyang about this was to remind him to be careful, lest the other party come smelling it again one day.

In response, Sun Xiangyang nodded, indicating that he understood the matter.

When she got home, Zhang Guihua had already prepared the meal. From the looks of it, it was obvious that she had been waiting for a while. When she saw the two of them coming back, she didn't ask anything and started to greet them.

Dudu touched his round belly and looked at the table of delicious food eagerly.

She followed Sun Xiangyang to the brigade to share the meat. Although she didn't bring a bowl, one person gave her a chopstick of meat, and the other gave her a chopstick of meat. As a result, she was full of food.

Before it got dark, she was sent back by Sun Tiaotiao.

So although I was very greedy at this time, my stomach was not full and I really couldn't hold it down.

After dinner, Zhang Guihua tidied up the kang and arranged a sleeping place.

Sun Xiangyang's family only has three caves. The cave in the middle is mainly used as a living room and for storing food. The caves on both sides are used as sleeping places.

But because of the arrival of Su Huiwan and Zhang Jiadong, she definitely couldn't sleep like before.

Fortunately, the caves on both sides have kangs, which are basically as wide as the caves. If you tidy them up, there will be no problem sleeping three or four people on the big kangs.

It's nothing more than buying two more quilts.

Therefore, Sun Xiangyang and Zhang Jiadong slept on the kang in front of Zhang Guihua. Although Dudu clamored to sleep with Sun Xiangyang, Chen Shuting still pulled her away by the ears.

The rest of the people slept on the big kang where Sun Xiangyang and Chen Shuting used to sleep.

Although Sun Xiangyang also prepared a piece of Five Emperors' Money for Zhang Guihua, he did not take it out tonight and would have to explain it later.

Sun Xiangyang still got up early the next day, and then went to a flattened area outside the yard. This open space was specially set aside by Sun Xiangyang, so that he could see the entire Shuangshui Bay from a high position.

"Master."

In the open space, Sun Tiaotiao was jumping around and moving his body so that he could stay warmer.

After seeing Sun Xiangyang coming out, he immediately stepped forward and shouted respectfully.

"Come on, stand there and I'll see if you've been lazy during this time."

Sun Xiangyang didn't say anything and went straight to the exam.

In fact, before going to the capital, Sun Xiangyang had already called Sun Tiaotiao and taught him the basic movements and essentials of stance.

In other respects, Sun Tiaotiao may be a little out of touch, but when Sun Xiangyang taught him the long-awaited true skills, he learned more seriously than anyone else.

In just two or three days, the basic essentials have been mastered.

Then I ran here early every morning and stood with Sun Xiangyang.

It's a pity that after a few days of standing, Sun Xiangyang went to the capital for business, but Sun Xiangyang had told him before that he couldn't slack off in his standing skills.

Now that more than a month has passed, it's time to take a test to see if Sun Tiaotiao was lazy during his absence.

The fact is that no matter how self-controlled a child is, he or she can only be hot for three minutes without supervision.

Sun Xiangyang knew from Sun Tiaotiao's flabby and guilty look that he had not stood seriously for more than a month and had made almost no progress.

Sun Xiangyang had already expected this, and he didn't even scold him, but just corrected a few postures for him.

In the process, Zhang Jiadong and sleepy Dudu also walked out.

Zhang Jiadong didn't need anyone to supervise him. He just found a seat next to him, put on his airs, and started to stand, but he kept looking at Sun Tiaotiao.

And Dudu, under Sun Xiangyang's 'force', also stood up next to Sun Tiaotiao.

"Xiang Yang, you said I went to Grandpa Sha's place. Will he also take the exam for me? What if I fail? Is Grandpa Sha strict? Will he beat me with a stick?"

Zhang Jiadong said with a worried face.

Although he has followed his grandfather since he was a child, in Sun Xiangyang's view, it is only the entry level, that is, "the first glimpse of the door", and there is still a long way to go before "small success".

It wasn't because he was lazy. Even when he was young, he was often beaten with a stick by his grandfather.

But Zhan Zhuang also requires talent.

There is no doubt that Zhang Jiadong's talent can only be considered average, and he can only get started by beating him.

But even if he is just getting started, it has brought him a lot of benefits over the years.

But at this moment, it is inevitable to feel a little worried.

The main reason is that compared with Sun Xiangyang, his uncle, he is really terrible.

I don’t know how my uncle practiced since he was a child, and whether he was ever hit with a stick.

"Will not."

Sun Xiangyang said.

"Really?"

"Well, really."

After receiving Sun Xiangyang's assurance, Zhang Jiadong breathed a sigh of relief, and then stood up seriously.

Half an hour later, Sun Xiangyang left Sun Tiaotiao, whose legs were weak and swaying, to eat.

As for the younger Dudu, she took several breaks during the period, and Sun Xiangyang did not force her.

Now she just needs to stand there, the requirements don't need to be too strict.

After dinner, the group took gifts with Sha Hongcheng and drove to Shapingba in a donkey cart.

Chen Shuting, Su Huiwan, and two little guys were sitting on the donkey cart.

Sha Hongcheng walked with Sun Xiangyang and Zhang Jiadong.

After arriving at Shapingba, Sun Xiangyang immediately received no less enthusiasm than Shuangshuiwan, which made Zhang Jiadong extremely envious.

Even as an outsider, he could clearly feel that these people's welcome to Sun Xiangyang was completely sincere.

And this is definitely not caused by Sun Xiangyang being Grandpa Sha's apprentice.

Afterwards, Zhang Jiadong inquired a little and found out about Xiangyangjing. He looked at his uncle with a little more admiration.

"Master, look who's back."

Arriving at Mr. Sha's house, Sha Hongcheng rushed in as usual.

Then I saw Mr. Sha walking out of the house with a straight face.

But when he saw Sun Xiangyang, his expression immediately changed.

"Old man, I'm back. How are you doing recently?"

Sun Xiangyang immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Okay, except for a certain unsatisfactory thing that disturbs me from time to time, everything else is fine."

Mr. Sha nodded happily.

As for the bad thing he was talking about, Sun Xiangyang knew who it was without mentioning the name.

"Old man, let me introduce to you. This is Zhang Jiadong, the grandson of Uncle Zhang."

Sun Xiangyang pointed at Zhang Jiadong and introduced.

At this time, Zhang Jiadong came to Mr. Sha, knelt down with a bang, and then began to kowtow.

"Good boy, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

Mr. Sha was stunned for a moment, and then pulled Zhang Jiadong up with some excitement.

"Grandpa Sha, my grandfather has been looking for you for many years."

Zhang Jiadong said with red eyes.

Although it was the first time for him to meet Mr. Sha, he had almost grown up listening to his stories. He also knew that if it weren't for Mr. Sha in front of him, his own grandfather would have lost his life countless times.

Therefore, he has known since he was a child that he has two grandfathers.

Now I finally see another one.

"Why are you looking for me? Stay away from him. I can live a few more years."

Mr. Sha couldn't help but said.

Zhang Jiadong didn't know what to say for a while.

"Old man, I went to the capital this time to pay a special visit to Master Zhang. Originally, he had heard about your old age and insisted on coming to see you, but because of winter and the inconvenience of the road, he was persuaded by his family and planned to come back next year when it is warmer.

However, after Uncle Zhang found out about your situation, he didn't trust you, so he asked his grandson to come over first and take care of you. "

Sun Xiangyang explained from the side.

"No need. When we left, I told him that from now on he would take his Yangguan Road and I would cross my single-plank bridge."

Mr. Sha's eyes widened, but Sun Xiangyang could see that he obviously didn't mean what he said.

If he really had no feelings for Uncle Zhang, he wouldn't have been so excited when he saw Zhang Jiadong just now.

"Grandpa Sha, after I stay this time, I won't leave. I will spend the New Year with you here."

Zhang Jiadong also spoke.

When Zhang Ziqiang learned that Mr. Sha had no children and was always alone, he burst into tears at that time. He kept shouting that he was the one who had dragged down his senior brother. When Sun Xiangyang was about to come back, he directly asked Zhang Jiadong to follow him in order to let him go. He is filial and takes care of Mr. Sha here.

Although it is only temporary, Zhang Jiadong does plan to spend the New Year here before leaving.

"Did Grandpa You force you to do it? You can go back without worries. If he dares to beat you, I will break his legs later."

Mr. Sha said without hesitation.

Zhang Jiadong immediately had a bad association with being beaten.

"Grandpa Sha, my grandfather didn't force me. I came here on my own."

"Well, good boy, but my place is pretty good and I don't need anyone to take care of you. You can play here for a few days and go back before the end of the year."

Mr. Sha said with a gentle expression.

Next to him, Sha Hongcheng looked sour that his whole body was dripping with acid. He was also a grandson. He had never received such treatment since he was a child.

"We'll talk about this later. Grandpa Sha, let me introduce to you. This is my wife, Su Huiwan."

Zhang Jiadong also knew Mr. Sha's temper, so he didn't try to persuade him anymore. Instead, he pulled Su Huiwan in front of him and introduced him.

"Grandpa Sha."

Su Huiwan called out obediently.

"Okay, you are both good boys. You two are talented and pretty at first sight. I will not be here when you get married. I will make up for the red envelope later."

Mr. Sha said happily.

"Grandpa Sha, you don't know, right? My wife and my uncle's wife are cousins. When my uncle told me that he wanted to find my grandpa, I was shocked. I really didn't expect that, and Such a coincidence."

Zhang Jiadong then said.

"Oh? What a coincidence?"

Mr. Sha also looked surprised.

"Yes, it's quite a coincidence."

Sun Xiangyang called Chen Shuting over. Although Chen Shuting and Su Huiwan were cousins, they naturally called Mr. Sha the same as Sun Xiangyang. "Okay, that's great."

Mr. Sha looked at the two pairs of people in front of him and was sincerely happy.

Perhaps, Sun Xiangyang and him were destined to have such a fate.

"Hello grandpa, I am the daughter of my father and my mother. My name is Sun Dudu."

At this time, Dudu ran over by himself, raised his head, looked at Mr. Sha and said.

Before Mr. Sha could react, Sun Tiaotiao also came over, but he was more straightforward and knelt down to kowtow.

"Hello, Master."

It was obvious that he had been instructed to call him this name.

Compared to Zhang Jiadong, he is Sun Xiangyang's apprentice, and his title of "Master" is even more justified.

"Old man, this is Sun Tiaotiao, my apprentice. I have passed on the Zhuang Kung Fu you taught me to him. This is my daughter, Dudu. Kneel down and kowtow to grandpa."

Sun Xiangyang said seriously.

When Dudu heard this, he immediately knelt down next to Sun Tiaotiao obediently. However, before she could kowtow, Mr. Sha picked him up with one hand and pulled Sun Tiaotiao up with the other hand.

"Good boy, don't listen to your father. There is no need to kowtow to grandpa."

Today, Mr. Sha's most common word is probably good boy.

In his eyes, whether it is Sun Xiangyang or Chen Shuting, Zhang Jiadong and Su Huiwan, including Sun Tiaotiao and Dudu, they are all good children.

Even today is the happiest day he has had in years.

Even though he is usually alone, he seems to be used to being alone, but at his age, what old man doesn't like to have children and grandchildren by his side?

In Sha Hongcheng's lineage, almost every junior has been mentored by him, so this is probably the mentality.

"Let's go to the house with grandpa. Grandpa will get it for you..."

Mr. Sha was a little stuck when he said this.

He is an old man who lives alone, and his food is simple. Naturally, he does not have things like sweets that children like.

Then, he looked at Sha Hongcheng aside.

"You bastard, you don't have any sharp eyesight at all. Why don't you go home and get all the delicious food?"

"Master, I am also your grandson."

Sha Hongcheng finally couldn't bear it anymore.

We are both grandsons, so why is the gap so big?

"I don't have a grandson like you."

Mr. Sha said unceremoniously.

Suddenly, Sha Hongcheng's eyes widened.

"Come on, let's go into the house. Grandpa just carved two little lions a while ago, and it just so happens that you two have one for each."

Only then did Mr. Sha hold Dudu in his arms and lead Sun Tiaotiao towards the house.

The others followed with their things, except for Sha Hongcheng, who seemed to be forgotten and stood alone in the yard.

"Humph, he also said he doesn't like children."

But at this time, Sha Hongcheng had a smile on his face, and then left happily.

He has been calling me "young master" for most of his life, so how could he not have true feelings?

Now that he sees the young master so happy, he is naturally happy too.

After arriving at the house, Mr. Sha took out a pair of vivid little lions that he had carved some time ago and gave them to the two little guys to play with.

Zhang Jiadong also took the opportunity to take out a letter, which was written by his grandfather to Mr. Sha.

"For your sake, I won't throw it into the stove. I'll look at it later."

Mr. Sha took the letter, folded it twice, and put it directly into his pocket.

Sun Xiangyang took out the Five Emperors' Money. Compared to Sha Hongcheng and the old party secretary who were ignorant of the goods, Mr. Sha narrowed his eyes as soon as he took it.

"Good stuff, you made it up yourself?"

Mr. Sha took one look at the brand new red line and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I happened to meet someone selling Five Emperors coins in the capital, so I bought some and knitted a few pieces. This is for you. You can hang it on your bedside later or take it with you."

Sun Xiangyang nodded.

"Okay, I'll accept it."

Mr. Sha took a serious look at Sun Xiangyang, and without refusing, he took the cave dwelling where he slept and put it away.

When he came out again, he had a book wrapped in cloth in his hand.

"Take it back and take a look at it yourself. If you don't understand anything later, I will teach you. Speaking of which, I have nothing to teach you. Three months ago, you didn't even get started with Zhuang Gong. When I looked at you just now, it seemed that There is progress again, if not..."

Having said this, Mr. Sha shook his head.

"Clap."

Next to him, Zhang Jiadong was playing with a semi-finished stone in his hand. After hearing Mr. Sha's words, the stone fell directly to the ground and almost hit his foot.

But this time, he didn't care about this. Instead, he looked at Mr. Sha with a look of disbelief on his face, as if he had heard wrongly.

"Grandpa Sha, what did you just say? Uncle Master didn't learn Zhuang Gong three months ago?"

Regarding the extent of Sun Xiangyang's skills, he also heard from his grandfather that he was no worse than him.

The question is, his grandfather has been standing for most of his life. How old is Sun Xiangyang?

At that time, he admired Sun Xiangyang.

At that time, Sun Xiangyang did not say how long he had been a disciple.

Therefore, Zhang Jiadong instinctively thought that Sun Xiangyang should have become a disciple at a very young age. In addition, he had extraordinary qualifications and was a prodigy in martial arts, so he could reach the level of his grandfather.

But now, Grandpa Sha said that Sun Xiangyang hadn't started practicing Zhuang Gong three months ago?

What does it mean?

Doesn't it mean that in three months, Sun Xiangyang has achieved what his grandfather achieved in most of his life?

is it possible?

"Yes, Xiangyang just came to my place three months ago and learned Zhuang Kung Fu from me, as well as some grappling techniques. Don't you know?"

Mr. Sha said in surprise.

"Grandpa Sha, I don't want to know at all."

After being confirmed, Zhang Jiadong seemed to have suffered some kind of blow.

What can't Mr. Sha see through those eyes?

He shook his head and said, "You don't need to compare with Xiang Yang, he is different from you."

"You're right. Comparing yourself with your uncle is really asking for trouble."

At this time, Zhang Jiadong thought about Sun Xiangyang learning medical skills from Zhou Jichang and Zhou Jichang's evaluation of him, and his mood suddenly improved again.

After all, his uncle is not an ordinary person.

The abbreviation is not a person!

"Well, you don't have to belittle yourself. I will point out your skills later. Just now I saw that you were loose, so I reluctantly started. I guess that guy Zhang Ziqiang has delayed you over the years."

"Yes, please give me some pointers on Zhuang Kung Fu?"

Zhang Jiadong instinctively looked at Sun Xiangyang aside, as if he wanted to confirm something again.

After all, in the morning, he asked Sun Xiangyang whether Grandpa Sha would use a stick to teach him about Zhuang Kung Fu. At that time, Sun Xiangyang told him with certainty: No!

But when it came to the matter, he still felt a little guilty.

Because he is a member of the family and knows his own affairs, he really has no talent in terms of Zhuang Gong.

Otherwise, after being beaten with sticks for so many years, I wouldn’t have just started.

"What? Don't want to learn?"

Mr. Sha asked.

"No, no, I want to learn. I really want to learn."

Zhang Jiadong said quickly.

If he dared to say that he didn't want to learn, Grandpa Sha would probably not force him, but once his own grandfather found out, he would never forgive him.

On the other side, Sha Hongcheng left quickly and came back quickly.

Just as Zhang Jiadong finished speaking, he walked in carrying his things.

I have canned food, biscuits, and some soybeans and peanuts that I roasted myself.

After they were separated in a circle, Sha Hongcheng looked at Mr. Sha and said: "Master, there is a meeting over there in the brigade. Look..."

"It's just a meeting, why are you talking to me? I don't need you to serve me here."

Mr. Sha said directly.

"What I mean is, let Xiang Yang go to a meeting."

"Let Xiangyang have a meeting?"

"Yes, you don't know yet, right? The coal mines over Shuangshui Bay have dug out coal, all of which is high-quality coal. They are preparing to build roads over there. What I mean is that Shapingba also belongs to Xiangyang Guan, let him go Have a meeting and talk about this matter.”

Sha Hongcheng explained.

"Okay, I'm not confused yet, I know to ask Xiangyang to help."

Mr. Sha nodded, then looked at Sun Xiangyang and said: "Xiang Yang, you are not an outsider. From now on, you will help Shapingba. If there is any big matter, help make decisions. If you just rely on them, you may not know when we will be connected again." I can’t even eat.”

"Old man, the development of Shapingba in recent years is much better than that of Shuangshuiwan. This is all the result of Party Secretary Sha."

Sun Xiangyang said.

Regardless of the old party secretary, Sha Hongcheng, or other brigade, everyone who can be a party secretary here has two skills.

"Just him? He's just pretending to be powerful."

Mr. Sha shook his head. He knew about his family affairs from his own family.

After hearing this, Sha Hongcheng was not angry, and even felt a little proud.

Isn't it also his ability to be able to fake the power of a tiger?

Seemingly seeing his proud look, Mr. Sha didn't want to see him anymore and waved his hand directly.

"Go quickly, don't be an eyesore here."

"Okay, let's go."

Sha Hongcheng gave Sun Xiangyang a proud look, and then the two left.

This time, Zhang Jiadong did not follow.

He came to Shapingba not to attend a meeting with Sun Xiangyang, but to visit Mr. Sha.

The rest of the people will naturally stay here, waiting for Sun Xiangyang to come back.

When Sun Xiangyang followed Sha Hongcheng to the brigade office here, all the brigade cadres here were also present and were discussing something loudly.

"Captain Xiangyang, when did you come back?"

Seeing Sun Xiangyang come in, Sha Zhaoliang was the first to get up and come over.

The rest of the people are no exception.

In fact, no one here knew about not only Sun Xiangyang's return, but also the coal dug out of Shuangshui Bay.

Although there are many people there in Shapingba, they all live there.

At first, Sha Hongcheng thought about sending someone back to inform everyone and share the good news, but when he thought about it later, he suppressed this thought.

The purpose was to invite Sun Xiangyang to announce this great event in public.

　Chapter One, six thousand words!

　　Keep writing.
