Chapter 8 Some changes in the body After washing up, Du Ruo went downstairs and opened the refrigerator to see if there was anything to eat to fill his stomach. If he didn't eat something, he would not be able to sleep at night due to his martial arts practice, and it might also affect his practice tomorrow. Practicing martial arts consumes a lot of energy, so it is very important to replenish nutrition in time. "Are you hungry, son?" Although Du Ruo tried to make her movements as quiet as possible, her mother was still alarmed. She walked out of the bedroom and asked about Du Ruo. "Yeah, I'm a little hungry after working out." Du Ruo touched his belly, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He was always open and confident in front of his parents. "You wait." My mother didn't say anything, just turned and went to the kitchen. Soon she brought out a big bowl of noodles with a lot of lean meat and two eggs. ……
"Dingling bell~~" The next morning at around six o'clock, Du Ruo got up when he heard the alarm clock. He went to bed at about ten o'clock yesterday evening, so waking up at six o'clock was not too much of a burden. Now that you have decided to practice martial arts well, it is essential to develop good habits. Breathing in the fresh air, Du Ruo looked at the majestic Huangshan Mountain in the distance and began today's exercise. In fact, whether it is Xingyi Five Elements Boxing or Xingyi Three-Body Posture, for Du Ruo now, it is really just a tool for training and brushing attribute points. Now Du Ruo has the theoretical knowledge of boxing in his mind and can perform the corresponding movements. If he is asked to perform or even participate in a routine competition, he is confident that he will get a very good ranking. But this does not mean that he is a martial arts master, or that he can fight with others. Du Ruo still has some self-awareness. Kung Fu cannot be achieved in this way. After three hours of training and adding attribute points, Du Ruo is now looking forward to the upgrade of Xingyiquan. After finishing exercise and breakfast, Du Ruo actually had nothing to do for a while. After thinking about it, I finally picked up my phone and started looking for a job online. After all, Du Ruo is not a lonely man. Now that he has returned to his hometown, he has to consider his family's feelings. Even if he wants to focus on martial arts training, having a job is a good thing. As long as it does not delay his martial arts training, Du Ruo can accept it. Unfortunately, Du Ruo looked at a lot of jobs but didn’t find a suitable one, mainly because he couldn’t balance his studies with martial arts. "Forget it, why are you in such a hurry to find a job? I'd better watch some videos." Since he couldn't find a suitable one, Du Ruo simply gave up looking. Anyway, he had no pressure in life right now, so he decided to study this system thoroughly first. Du Ruo made himself a pot of tea, then took out a recliner and sat in the backyard, watching various videos on martial arts on his phone, occasionally drinking a cup of tea and looking at Mount Huangshan in the distance, feeling very leisurely and comfortable. After lunch, he took a nap. Because he planned to visit Yang Chenguang's home in the evening, Du Ruo started practicing martial arts after the nap, trying to get attribute points and experience points first. When Du Ruo was practicing martial arts, he discovered that the increase in experience points was not only reflected in the data, but was also a verification of the knowledge in his mind. Every time the experience increased, Du Ruo's understanding of the Five Elements Fist and the Three-Body Style would deepen. What is even more gratifying is that the time he can hold the three-body pose has become longer each time. Today, he has been able to hold the single-weight three-body pose for more than a minute each time, and there are signs of steady improvement. After the training, Du Ruo's Xingyiquan experience reached 30 points. The biggest change brought by 30 points of experience was in his appearance. In the past, Du Ruo walked lazily, played with his phone for a long time, and subconsciously liked to lower his head.
Now Du Ruo's minor problems are gradually improving. His posture has become more upright, and there have been some subtle changes in his daily walking and daily exertion. Regular practice of Xingyi Five Elements Boxing can improve one's temperament. It has only been a few days since Du Ruo came back, but in fact, his entire spirit has undergone earth-shaking changes. "Mom, I'm going out. You don't have to cook for me at night. I'll eat at Chen Guang's house. You don't have to wait for me. Just leave the door open for me at night." Du Ruo took a cucumber that her mother had picked from the table, rubbed the thorns on it with her hands, and ate it while crunching it, while shouting to her mother at the door. Du Ruo's appetite is getting better and better now. Staple food alone is not enough. If he feels hungry after practicing martial arts, he can't help but eat some snacks. "Wait a minute, take these over." When my mother heard that Du Ruo was going to Yang Chenguang's house, she quickly took out something already packed from the refrigerator and handed it to Du Ruo. "Here are two stinky mandarin fish and a bottle of golden cherry wine I made. Don't go out and buy things. They are expensive and impractical." "Okay, I'm leaving then." Du Ruo had originally wanted to buy some fruit, milk, etc. to bring over, but she didn't expect that her mother had already thought of it, so she didn't need to go shopping anymore. Besides, Yang Chenguang was a typical local who loved smelly things. The stinky mandarin fish made by Du Ruo's mother was his favorite, and it was a must-order dish every time he came to eat. Du Ruo took the things and walked to Yangjia Village where Yang Chenguang was. Du Ruo was warmly received by the Yang family when he arrived. They slaughtered chickens and prepared their own local pork bacon. Yang Chenguang also brought his wife and children back home, making the home very lively. "Why did you come back so suddenly? I didn't even hear you say hello in advance or anything." Yang Chenguang picked up a piece of stinky mandarin fish, then took a sip of wine, his eyes narrowed in enjoyment. Du Ruo's parents were afraid that there must be something behind these words, and thought that it would be good that Du Ruo came back, so they never asked. But Yang Chenguang didn't think too much about it and asked casually during the meal. "I'm unemployed. There's a lot of competition for jobs out there. It's more comfortable to come back home." Du Ruo raised his glass and clinked it with Yang Chenguang and Yang Chenguang's father before answering. There was nothing wrong with what he said. Unemployment was a common situation and it was not shameful. "Tsk, yeah, business is really hard right now. Our village is so small, but there are only two B&Bs." “Is it easy to run a B&B now?” Anyway, there are no fixed topics at the dinner table. We just chat casually and talk about whatever comes to mind. "These things all depend on how they are run and the overall environment. These two businesses in our village suffered a lot of losses in the past few years, and only this year have they shown signs of improvement. Unfortunately, one of them is planning to transfer the business." Yang Chenguang has a more thorough understanding of the situation. Moreover, he was the one who negotiated with the B&Bs when they first came to their village to rent land. It was with the help of these two B&Bs and other businesses that he was able to boost the village's economy and became the village's deputy secretary. Therefore, he has a clear understanding of these things. "Transfer? Why transfer? Poor management?" When Du Ruo heard this, he immediately came up with an idea. It seemed that running a B&B would be a good idea. If the cost was lower, he could become a B&B owner. This way, he could have a decent job without having to work from nine to five, and he could have more time to practice martial arts. (End of this chapter)
