Entertaining Children

Chapter 5 Learning

Probably because he first arrived in an unfamiliar environment, Xiao Yao woke up before seven o'clock in the morning. After getting up and dressing, washing his face and brushing his teeth, and cleaning himself up, Xiao Yao pushed open the door of his east wing.

Walking out of the door, Xiao Yao immediately saw Mr. Xiao Chengru, who was wearing a pair-breasted white silk shirt, white silk pants, and black cloth shoes, doing morning exercises in the yard. Looking at the posture, it seems to be doing Tai Chi.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the old man turned his head and saw Xiao Yao standing neatly at the door. He smiled and asked: "Bayi, you got up so early, how did you sleep yesterday?" He said, but his hands didn't stop.

Xiao Yao walked to a stone bench next to the old man and sat down, clenched his fists with both hands and propped his chin, looked at the old man and said, "It's pretty good."

"Are you hungry? Grandpa will take you to have breakfast?" Xiao Chengru asked.

"I'm not hungry, it's still early, don't rush to eat breakfast, grandpa, practice slowly. I'll see you practice boxing later." Xiao Yao said indifferently.

"Oh, that's fine, grandpa will take you to breakfast after practicing this time." Xiao Chengru said happily. He practiced Taijiquan almost every day when he was free. Although it was okay to delay a day or two for his grandson, it was still better to finish the practice.

However, Xiao Yao seemed restless, and after looking at it for a while, he said again: "Grandpa, are you practicing Tai Chi?"

"Yeah, what? You will too?" Xiao Chengru smiled. He was surprised to be able to recognize him. He didn't believe that his grandson could even do this.

Sure enough, Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "No, so I want to learn. Grandpa, can you teach me?"

"Do you really want to learn?" Xiao Chengru asked.

"Yes." Xiao Yao said seriously, "My mother said that she not only wants me to be smart, but also wants me to have a good body. Isn't this just for physical fitness?"

"Okay," Xiao Chengru agreed, "but this yard is a bit small, how about we go to the park?" Xiao Chengru's yard was not very big. An old locust tree in the yard, stone tables and benches, some potted plants and other sundries he planted took up a lot of space. The space for him to practice Tai Chi alone is a little bit reluctant, and Xiao Yao is even more cramped. He usually goes to the park to exercise, but today his grandson is here. He doesn't want to wake up his grandson too early to affect his sleep, and he is afraid that he won't find anyone when he wakes up, so he will practice in his own yard . Now that grandson also wants to practice, why not just take him to the park. With such a clever grandson, he has already received numerous praises from the neighbors yesterday, and he has long wanted to take his grandson to show his old buddies and sisters who exercise together in the park. He just felt that dragging the child up so early to go to the park to earn face for himself seemed a bit too bad, so he suppressed this urge. Now that the grandson got up so early on his own, and he still wants to learn Tai Chi from himself, why don't he show it to his old friends for a while?

Xiao Yao naturally had no objection. For him, it doesn't matter where he goes to practice, and he is not a little girl who is shy to meet people.

The park where Xiao Chengru usually exercises in the morning is not far from his residence, and it takes about ten minutes to walk there. There is a small artificial lake in the park, with groves and green areas. The environment and air are very good. It is a good place for exercise. When the grandpa and grandson went to the green area by the lake where they usually exercise, many old men and women were already exercising there.

Xiao Yao scanned around, and found that among the old men and women, some were boxing, playing swords, and even singing opera with their voices hanging. However, the square dances that were everywhere in the previous life were not here, and I don’t know when it was. The location is wrong, or this world doesn't like that stuff at all.

"Old Xiao, it's late today. Hey, this is your grandson, isn't he starting to take care of the kids?" Xiao Chengru led Xiao Yao just into the exercise area, and everyone who saw them would greet them.

"That's right, you've heard about what happened to my kid. My kid is currently recuperating in the hospital. I, an old bone, have to help take care of the child for a while.

"Xiao Chengru responded.

All the old folks knew about the accident in Xiao's family, and they also comforted them in the first two days when they should be comforted. Looking at Xiao Chengru's demeanor now, it seems that he is not bad, so everyone will not mention that.

"If you say that your kid is not bad, isn't there no other way to leave it to you? It's not like the young couple in my family. The child was thrown to our old couple as soon as weaned, and we went happily." An old man he knew laughed. said.

"Don't say that, maybe your kid is afraid that your retirement life will be too boring, and the child is brought to you to make your old couple's life more lively." Another old man immediately said, " Our niece's child is not allowed to be brought by us, but if we miss our grandson, we have to travel half of Yanjing City to see the child, so it's not as good as you take it with you."

The old guys have probably been practicing for a while, and it seems that it is time to rest, so they all get together and chat about homework. Xiao Chengru took Xiao Yao and greeted the old guys around, and Xiao Yao's sensible performance naturally won Xiao Chengru a circle of envious praise.

Feeling that his face was satisfied, Xiao Chengru began to teach Xiao Yao how to play Tai Chi.

"Come on, Bayi, learn from me. This is the starting position, then the wild horse splits its mane, left, right, and then the white crane spreads its wings..." Xiao Chengru and Xiao Yao stood opposite each other, slowly starting to fight Started Taijiquan, and explained it while playing.

Seeing that Xiao Chengru was teaching his three-year-old grandson how to do Tai Chi, several old guys who were resting nearby immediately surrounded him curiously.

"Old Xiao actually taught his grandson how to do Tai Chi? This child is too young, isn't Lao Xiao trying to make everyone bored?"

"Yo yo, don't even mention it, this little doll looks pretty good at beating. Hey, this cleverness..."

Although Xiao Chengru seemed to turn a deaf ear to the comments of the old guys around him and devoted himself to teaching his grandson how to box, his heart was already full of joy. "Hmph, the members of the old Xiao family, don't look at their young age, this cleverness, which of your grandchildren can compare with it."

After a fist practice, Xiao Chengru nodded in satisfaction, and said to Xiao Yao, "How much do you remember? Let's do it again."

After recalling it for a while, Xiao Yao replied confidently: "I seem to remember everything." Xiao Yao himself was a little surprised. There are twenty-four moves in this trip, and there are more than thirty moves in all. Even when I was thirty years old in my previous life, I might not be able to make one move and memorize them all exactly, but now it seems Really remember it all. Xiao Yao has also read a lot of science fiction novels, and knows something about the development of the potential of the human brain. When one's own soul enters this body, it can also be said that one's own thoughts enter the brain of this body. Could it be that part of the child's brain was forcibly developed because his own thoughts entered the child's brain? You must know that the original memory of this body is still there, but if the memories of two people are put in, it seems that there is an extra piece of space in the head that needs to be used. And now the brain of this body is still in the developmental stage physiologically, doesn't that mean that with the development of the brain in the future, I can be even more powerful? Thinking of this, Xiao Yao couldn't help being a little excited.

"Then come and have a look." Xiao Chengru was also surprised and demanded in disbelief.

"Okay, just wait and see." Xiao Yao's excitement did not subside, and he said with great interest.

Getting up, wild horses parting their manes, white cranes spreading their wings...Xiao Yao moved in a dignified manner. Because I remember clearly, the movements are coherent and smooth. It’s just that Xiao Yao, who still doesn’t understand the true connotation of Tai Chi, can do it much faster than Xiao Chengru usually does when exercising, and in order to show that every movement is remembered clearly, there is an extra at the end of the movement. There is a brief finalization of the force to make the end of the action. If Xiao Yao is on the sidelines, he will feel that he is playing Tai Chi like in a movie, with the beauty of strength and visual impact.

"Hey, old Xiao, this is really the first time you're teaching your grandson how to do Tai Chi? Your eldest grandson is amazing."

"That's right, Lao Xiao, when you quietly taught your grandson a lot at home, you deliberately waited to show it off in front of us today, didn't you?"

Xiao Chengru smiled nonchalantly at the comments and doubts of the old fellows. "Go, go, who has the time to entertain you, besides, can your three-year-old child partner with you to cheat? Even if you can, can you pretend to be like this?"

At this time, an old man with half-white hair wearing silk practice clothes came out from a group of old guys, walked up to Xiao Yao and said, "Little boy, what's the use of practicing this soft fist? Grandpa will teach you a little bit!" How about some tough boxing for you?"

Seeing what the old man said, Xiao Chengru's face changed, and he quickly intervened and said, "Go, go, old Liu, your Baji is too domineering. My grandson is only so young. How can he be so young now?" Learn your domineering boxing skills. Now you want him to lean against a tree with his shoulders, I don't agree."

"Baji?" Xiao Yao's eyes lit up when he heard this. This is a boxing technique that has been known for a long time. He has read too many novels. He has long been fascinated by such things as "Wen has Tai Chi to stabilize the world, Wu has Baji to determine the universe" and "Sharp Spear Li Shuwen". Although Tai Chi is also well-known, but this is an internal boxing. He doesn't know if modern boxing can develop internal strength, at least it is not so easy to practice. Today's Taijiquan is mostly used for self-cultivation rather than actual combat. But Baji is different. This is foreign boxing, hard kung fu. It has been a practical boxing method for actual combat since its birth. It is a kung fu that can really be used for self-defense. If given the chance, Xiao Yao would be willing to learn from 10,000 people.

It's a pity that before Xiao Yao could express his opinion, the old Liu head had already rolled his eyes, and said to Xiao Chengru, "What good things are you thinking about? Who said I'm going to teach your grandson Bajiquan? My Bajiquan can be used casually. Did you pass it on? Besides, you fanciers know that children are too young to practice Baji, but I, a martial arts practitioner, don’t know?” Then he turned to Xiao Yao and said, “Little guy, I’ll pass on to you a set of Shaolin masters. Boxing, do you want to learn?"

"Hey, you old Liu, I just taught my grandson Tai Chi, and you teach him Shaolin things. Shaolin and Wudang are specially opposed to each other, right?" Xiao Chengru said unhappily again. It is said that old and young are old and young, this old man is really like a child sometimes.

"Cut, what are you talking about about Shaolin and Wudang. I can still have some relationship with Shaolin, but what is your connection with Wudang? With just a few moves of yours, you might learn from which teaching video on the Internet." Old Liu continued to roll his eyes and said.

"You..." Xiao Chengru wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Xiao Yao's immature and firm reply.
