Chapter 216 Lantern Festival Chapter
Chapter 216 Lantern Festival Chapter
Number two and number five are Zhao Shimin and Qin He respectively.
Qin He was a little timid. How could he dare to fight with the eldest lady?
"There is no young lady here, only enemies. Remember, treat me as an enemy, so that your martial arts can improve and you can better protect us in the future." Zhao Shimin's words made Qin He understand and feel more relieved. Even if he hurt the young lady, she would not be angry with him.
"Miss, please." Qin He bowed.
Then Zhao Shimin took the lead.
To be honest, Qin He's skills were average, and more importantly, he had only been practicing for less than half a month, so there was really nothing to fight with.
After just ten moves, the winner was decided.
Zhao Shimin won.
"You can't be lazy, kid. Go back and practice more." Grandpa Tai said with a smile.
"Good girl, keep up the good work." Old Master Tai nodded.
"Next are number three and number four. Go ahead." Old Master Tai smiled and waved his hand.
Number three and number four are Qin Hai and Zhao Shisheng respectively.
After the two men saluted with fists, they started fighting without any further ado.
Qin Hai has a more forthright personality and gets along better with Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shihui, and they often come into contact with each other.
Qin Hai almost lost several times, but fortunately he reacted quickly and turned around in time, thus narrowly avoiding the situation.
"Not bad, you've made great progress, try again!" Zhao Shisheng was intrigued and was more willing to cooperate with Qin Hai's fighting style. The two of them were instantly evenly matched.
The fight has been going on for nearly fifteen minutes, and there is still no winner.
"Hurry up, both of you. Decide the winner within three moves." Old Master Tai urged.
How can they fight when they are so friendly?
How can we tell the difference between winning and losing and learning?
"Then I'm going to make a move, go on." Zhao Shisheng started to exert his strength. This time he didn't use three moves, but defeated Qin Hai with just one move.
"The young master is truly amazing. I accept defeat with all my heart." Qin Hai bowed and stepped back after saying this.
Zhao Shisheng returned the greeting and left.
"Okay, the competition is over. Tell us about your findings and feelings. You can point out others' mistakes, or talk about your own shortcomings." Grandpa Tai looked at everyone.
"Let me speak first." Zhao Shisheng spoke first.
Mr. Tai nodded, indicating his agreement.
"My shortcomings are slow speed and lack of accuracy, maybe it has something to do with talent, I think I have worked hard." Zhao Shisheng said.
"So what do you think are Qin Hai's strengths and weaknesses?" asked Mr. Tai.
"Qin Hai's strengths are obvious. He has only practiced for a short time, but he can fight me for such a long time. It can be seen that he practices martial arts very diligently. He must have talent. In addition, his moves are all in place, but they are a little slow. Sometimes after one move is finished, it seems that he still needs to prepare for the next one." Zhao Shisheng said.
"Young Master is right. Sometimes I forget what my next move is and have to think about it in advance, so I'm slow to make my moves." Qin Hai touched his head embarrassedly. He was right.
"Well, that's right. What Shengzi said is your problem Qin Hai. Also, there are several moves that you haven't learned well enough. Go back and practice more. Since you can't remember them, it means you haven't practiced enough. Go back and practice more until you can perform a few moves even when eating." Old Man Tai looked at the other people.
"Next, I'll say it." Zhao Shihui raised both his hands. His excitement showed how enthusiastic he was.
Old Master Tai nodded naturally, this kid is quite capable of supporting others.
"Grandpa Tai, I feel like I tried very hard, but I just couldn't beat my younger sister. Why? My younger sister started much later than me, and she didn't practice much normally. She only started practicing because you asked her to. My younger sister's speed and accuracy are better than mine." Zhao Shihui asked a soul-searching question.
Everyone was equally confused. They all started from the same point, so why were they running so slowly while the little sister (young lady) was running so fast?
Zhao Shiying also began to doubt herself, wondering if she was a freak.
"Hey, what's the big deal? She has a talent. Not everyone has talent, and not everyone has the same talent. It is something that is innate. You don't have to be discouraged. After all, even if you are not talented, you can catch up with hard work. You have heard the saying, diligence can make up for lack of talent." said Grandpa Tai.
Zhao Shihui smiled. Well, it’s just that his skills are not as good as others. He doesn’t have enough talent, so he makes up for it with hard work. That’s what Grandpa Tai meant.
Everyone also thinks that Zhao Shiying is extremely talented.
Zhao Shiying looked a little innocent. What was the difference between this and talent? Why wasn't she smart? Only by thinking more could she grasp the key points of martial arts training.
After everyone had spoken in turn, they dispersed and went home.
.......
In the blink of an eye it is the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.
After today, the Chinese New Year will be over and everyone can start preparing for spring ploughing or go up the mountain to pick mushrooms to sell.
"Dad, today is the Lantern Festival, let's go to the county to play." Zhao Shiying looked at Zhao Guocheng with hope.
"Okay, I heard that the lanterns on the Lantern Festival night are beautiful, how about our whole family go?" Zhao Guocheng said with a smile.
In fact, he had another purpose, which was to find out about Azhi's situation. After such a long time, there was no news about Azhi. He was very nervous and was worried during the New Year.
"Okay, okay, I still want to go look for Brother Azhi. It's New Year's Day, and Brother Azhi didn't come to our house." Zhao Shiying frowned and said a little angrily.
"Yes, I am also curious, Dad. I remember you gave Azhi a New Year gift. Did Azhi return the gift to us?" Zhao Shisheng asked.
"Well, to tell you the truth, the New Year gift I sent to Azhi was returned, and I have been worried about it. Why don't we go to the county today to take a look?" Zhao Guocheng asked tentatively.
"What are you waiting for? Harness the bullock cart." Zhao Shihui was getting anxious.
It has been such a long time since we have received any news from Ah Zhi. Why didn't Dad inform us until now? Isn't it too late?
So they set off as soon as they said they would, and the ox cart was quickly harnessed.
When several people got on the ox cart and were ready to set off, Old Man Tai arrived.
"Hey, where are you going? No martial arts training today?" Mr. Tai glared.
"Grandpa Tai, we have something to do in the county, so let's not practice today. I also told Qin He and asked him to tell you later, and now you are here." Zhao Shisheng said.
"Go to the county, then take me with you, today is the Lantern Festival, I want to go and have fun." said Mr. Tai.
"Then you can't walk around randomly. You must listen to us, otherwise we won't take you." Zhao Guocheng frowned and said.
"Okay." Old Master Tai nodded.
So after Mr. Tai got on the ox cart, Zhao Guocheng drove the cart away.
Qin Ming and Qin Hai followed behind driving the ox cart which was full of goods. The rest of the people naturally had to go to work.
Zhao Guocheng can take a holiday, but the employees in the workshop cannot.
