My 1978 Hotel

"How's your practice going? Have you learned it?"

Li Feng walked over with a chuckle, which made Wu Jing and the others roll their eyes. "Do you think it's like eating? You can learn it once you learn it. This is shooting, a shooting that kills people. Just kidding, if anyone can learn it just by seeing it, it will be disastrous."

"Easy for you to say."

Li Ran saw Li Feng watching the fun with a smile on his face, and muttered with a puffed mouth.

“I think it’s quite easy.”

Li Feng laughed when he heard what his son said.

"Easy, then go ahead and play."

This child is quite rebellious. Li Feng was speechless. However, Liu Wen and others were laughing at the father and son, especially Wu Jing and Chen Long, who wanted to applaud. The other children also looked at Li Ran with admiration.

That’s great, finally someone is resisting the big devil. In the eyes of these kids, Li Feng is no longer a good uncle. He is the big bad guy, the big devil, and these kids can’t wait to take a bite of him.

But when she thought that all the people here were minions of the big devil Li Feng, she could only cry and wipe her tears, waiting to go back to see her parents to complain, especially Chen Zian and Zhang Xiaole. When they saw that their sister's shoulder was scraped, they cried for a long time and wanted to find Li Ran to beat him up first.

But when he learned that Li Ran was actually quite miserable and had to sleep in a pot hole, he didn't bother Li Ran. Besides, Li Ran was very angry with his father and wanted to break up with him. Now he saw Li Ran standing up to squeeze Li Feng.

Wow, except for Han Anbing and a few others, everyone was surprisingly on Li Ran's side, as if Li Ran was their substitute. Li Feng saw that everyone was full of admiration and raised his neck.

"You are talking without any pain in your waist. I suggest you come down and try to experience the suffering of the people." Li Ran said with a chattering mouth. He is quite good at talking.

“And they have a set of them.”

"Who told you to make it sound so easy?"

Li Ran muttered. "On paper, they're all heroes, but in real combat, they act like bears."

"You little brat..."

Li Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but the other kids all laughed when they heard it.

"Li Ran is right."

"That's amazing, Li Ran."

"It's easier said than done. You won't know the pain in your waist if you haven't done it yourself."

Wow, these guys suddenly became spirited. After all, they are just kids, even if they are afraid, but with Li Ran, Li Feng’s eldest son, taking the lead, they actually rose up and started to rebel.

"Cousin, how about you demonstrate?"

Liu Wen couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Wu Jing and Chen Long also joined in. "Cousin, why don't you just demonstrate it to everyone?"

"Let's see it."

"Can you please talk?"

Li Feng really wanted to drag this brat Li Ran out and give him a few beatings. Why was this kid so rebellious?

"Fengzi, why don't you show them what you can do?"

Han Anbing directly threw the red tasseled spear to Li Feng. This was not the stick used by Wu Jing, Chen Long and others. It was a real thing with a gun tip. According to Han Anbing, this thing was used to kill the devils during the Anti-Japanese War.

Although it is a bit blunt now, it is still not comparable to an ordinary wooden stick. Besides, Wu Jing and Chen Long just tried this red tassel spear, which probably weighs more than ten pounds. They tried to hold the end of the spear and imitate Han Anbing's picking up the spear, but they almost dropped it on their hands.

Although this thing is not particularly heavy, the force used to pick up the gun is not something that ordinary people can use casually without mastering it. It looks simple, but it actually takes a long time of practice to get the hang of it.

"Row."

Li Feng took the red tassel spear with one hand. He had really practiced with this thing before. After all, he participated in militia training. After practicing the rifle, he still learned the red tassel spear for a while and even played a battle in the simulation space.

But at that time he felt that the action was a bit ugly, so he slightly changed the simulation scene to make it look better, probably as a performance. Compared with Han Anbing's more practical killing gun, Li Feng's gun skills were more beautiful.

"Li Ran, your dad is really good at it?"

Wu Xiaotian, who was standing next to Li Ran, nudged him quietly. Li Ran shook his head slightly. "That shouldn't be the case. I haven't heard him say that."

"But it doesn't sound like I can't do it, right?"

Zheng Guanwu whispered from the other side. "I wonder if Uncle Li is very good." Zheng Guanwu was actually quite interested in martial arts, but his overweight body limited him somewhat.

“It’s hard to say whether it will or not.”

Li Ran muttered to himself, he didn't know his father yet, so he definitely wouldn't do that, he was just pretending.

"What are you talking about? Look at everything. I'm only going to play it once."

As he spoke, Li Feng shook his hand and the gun barrel actually shot forward. Li Feng took a big step forward, held the end of the gun barrel with one hand and shook it. Wow, Wu Jing and Chen Long were stunned. This one move alone was much stronger than theirs.

"What strong arm strength!"

"You can't really play with guns, right?"

Liu Wen was also stunned.

Li Ran rubbed his eyes even more. It seemed that his father really knew a little bit. Then Li Feng picked out a gun flower, which had a bit of the shadow of the hero Donnie Yen. This was really practiced by Li Feng in a simulated scene, and the main focus was on being handsome.

This move was much better than Han Anbing's, so handsome that Zheng Guanwu was so excited that he almost jumped up.

"I go."

Wu Jing and Chen Long looked at each other. Wow, this is a bit like the shooting skills in TV dramas and movies.

“You really can!”

Liu Wen stared at the boss. As Li Feng quickly performed a set of spear techniques, Liu Wen and the others' eyes were as loud as copper bells. The children's eyes were especially bright. It was so impressive, so different from Han Anbing's actual spear techniques.

Children like Li Feng's gun skills more, which are partly performance-oriented. Especially Li Feng's counter-attack with a sense of movie scenes. This is a move that Li Feng learned from Stephen Chow in "A Chinese Odyssey Part One - Pandora's Box".

Han Anbing laughed at Li Feng for imitating women's fancy spear skills. Fortunately, Li Feng's last spear hit the tree with great force and penetrated deep into the wood. Han Anbing stopped laughing at Li Feng. After all, Li Feng's spear was as good as his own actual combat spear skills.

Who can blame him for being so strong? Being able to kill people with a fancy spear means he is using real-life marksmanship.

With the last strike, Li Feng performed very well. Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief and felt quite tired. Fortunately, he had good physical fitness. With a lot of strength, the red tassel spear was nailed into the tree, and Li Feng let go.

He turned around with a smile and looked at the stunned children, feeling quite proud. His arms were numb from the shock and his palms were a little hot from rubbing, but it was all worth it. Look at them, what they look like.

"How's it going, kid?"

Li Feng looked at his eldest son who was muttering something with his mouth open in disbelief, and laughed, "You little brats, do you really think your dad is joking? Haha, I won't let you learn shooting easily."

"sharp."

Wu Jing and Chen Long walked over quickly. They took great pains to pull out the red tassel spear, looked at the depth of the spear, and gave a thumbs-up. "Awesome."

"It's okay. I haven't practiced in a few days. It's a bit fancy, but not as practical as An Bing's."

Li Feng was telling the truth, but these little naughty kids preferred Li Feng's shooting skills that were full of ups and downs and looked beautiful, and they were not very interested in Han Anbing's practical and killing shooting skills.

"Uncle, why don't you teach us?"

Zheng Guanwu looked at Li Feng with excitement in his eyes. The boy almost knelt down to become his disciple. The other children also nodded vigorously. Even the little girl Chen Jingyi thought that Li Feng looked good in shooting.

"An Bing, I said I shouldn't have played this trick. Alas, you all don't know what's good for you. Follow Uncle An Bing and learn. His shooting skills are more suitable for you." Li Feng's words were not nonsense. Although Li Feng's shooting skills looked good, they were not something that could be practiced by ordinary people.

Let me put it this way, generally speaking, learning An Bing's practical spear skills only requires three-tenths of the effort, while learning Li Feng's requires at least eight or nine-tenths of the effort, and the final actual combat effect is not much different. One is practical and easy to learn, while the other looks good but is difficult to learn.

But even though it looked good, the kids didn't care about it at all and just stared at Li Feng eagerly.

"We'll talk about it later."

Li Feng knew his own business when it came to teaching Hammer. He'd learned in a simulated space, and his physical fitness was much better than average, which was why he could achieve such a high level of skill. But these little brats were all either picky eaters or overweight. Let alone ten days or half a month, they wouldn't be able to practice in a year or two. Li Feng simply waved his hand. "Study hard. When you're done, An Bing, take them to a bath."

"Is there still water in the reservoir?"

"The water in the reservoir has long been murky and unrecognizable."

Han Anbing looked at the city kids. "Well, why not get some water to wipe it off?"

"That's fine, let you carry the water yourself."

Li Feng looked at the group of little brats. "If you want to take a bath, bring your own water."

"Can I not take a shower?"

Chen Jingyi muttered softly. When she thought about carrying water for a bath, Chen Jingyi, who was very clean, actually said this. Chen Zian looked at his sister with a puzzled look. Chen Jingyi touched her shoulders which still hurt. Carrying water was very tiring and would also rub her shoulders.

She didn't want to carry water anymore and would rather not take a bath.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

"My shoulder hurts."

Chen Jingyi whispered to her brother and blinked her big eyes at Li Ran's father.

Li Feng also noticed something was wrong, and when he asked, he found out that the water on his shoulder was rubbed off. "Oh, so that's it, cousin, I have some gentian violet at home, you can apply it on Jingyi later."

"give it to me."

Liu Wen nodded.

"By the way, you might run into some minor problems at work these next couple of days, like a broken hand or a sprained ankle. Be sure to tell me," Li Feng said. "After all, you're here to exercise, so don't let injuries delay your training."

Liu Wen had just heard what Li Feng said and thought he had good intentions, but she was speechless after hearing the second half of his sentence. "If you have any problems you can't solve, or if you're hurt, you can come to me."

"Is everything alright, cousin?"

"No problem, I'm at ease with you taking charge."

Li Feng wiped his hands. "Alright, you guys practice well. Later, the boys should follow An Bing to the reservoir to wash. Muddy water is better than no bath at all. Cousin, take Jingyi back to my house to treat her wounds and wash up."

"After washing, gather here."

Li Feng said with a smile. "I'll take you to see the stars tonight. They're very bright here. You might even see a hare."

"What about dinner?"

"Everyone go home for dinner. You all paid your rations."

Of course, Li Feng was sure that these little guys wouldn't be able to eat dinner, but people are hungry and will eat shit. Li Feng wasn't worried that they wouldn't eat, as he had done that himself. However, when he thought of these little guys howling at night, the corners of Li Feng's mouth curled up.

You picky eaters, little brat. There is no food for you to choose from. Eat it if you want or not. Li Feng was actually quite happy when he thought of his eldest son’s miserable face with hunger at night. If Li Ran knew about this, he would probably kick him out as a father.

After returning home, Li Feng scrubbed himself and looked cool for a while, but his whole body was covered in sweat and it was uncomfortable not to take a shower. Fortunately, he was used to it. He filled half a basin with water and scrubbed himself, which made him feel much better. "What should I eat tonight? Forget it. There are Wu Jing and the others at home, so let's eat less."

Steamed cornbread, cornmeal porridge, and some fried pickles are almost enough. After all, they came together. Li Feng thought he should set an example. It’s not possible for the children to eat liquid food while they eat dry food.

Sure enough, in the evening, Liu Wen, Wu Jing, Chen Long and others put on masks of pain when they saw the food on the table.

"Eat, you're welcome."

Li Feng said, "The steamed bread at home is the best in our brigade. It's made entirely of cornmeal that's been sifted three times."

"Cousin, why don't you move your chopsticks? It's all whole grains, very healthy."

Liu Wen rolled her eyes. It was whole grain, yes, but a little too coarse. Forget about health. Liu Wen didn't want to talk anymore. She drank a few sips of corn porridge and almost vomited it out. What the hell was this? How could the two children beside her eat it? Daya and Erya saw Liu Wen looking at them, a little confused.

"eat fast."

Li Feng smiled and touched Erya.

"Cousin, cousin, don't be polite, eat."

Li Feng munched on the steamed bread in big mouthfuls. "After we finish eating, I'll go check on the other families. I wonder how the children are doing?"

"Is their food like this too?"

"Oh, that's not it."

Before Liu Wen and the others could even breathe a sigh of relief, Li Feng said, "I remember telling you, the food at other restaurants is much worse than ours."

"It's still a lot worse."

This is bad enough, isn't it? Li Feng said nothing. He remembered what he had said to them, so forget it. "You can try it later."

Wu Jing, Chen Long and Liu Wen finally managed to eat half a steamed bun, but it was too hard to swallow.

"Let's go."

Seeing that the three of them had finished eating, Li Feng said something, and the four of them went into the village. At this time, they shouted "sister-in-law's house". Li Ran was holding a black steamed bun in his hand, his eyes wide open. He originally thought that he didn't eat well.

Now I find that I seem to eat the best. The other children only have half a piece of steamed corn bread, and mostly drink porridge with some wheat bran, a little rice bran and wild vegetables added in it.

Li Ran didn't want to eat the black steamed bread at first, after all, it was a bit harsh on the throat, but after taking a bite of the porridge, he fell silent. Li Ran glanced at the woman his father kept calling "sister-in-law". This woman seemed to be younger than his mother but looked like a middle-aged lady.

"Eat."

He called out "sister-in-law", but gave the best steamed buns in the family to Li Ran. After all, she brought cornmeal, so he had to eat his fill. You know, they usually don't eat dry food at night, so this was specially steamed for Li Ran.

"I'm not hungry."

Li Ran really couldn't eat it, it was too disgusting, but it was a good thing for Han Mingchang and the other children. Especially the little ones, they stared at the steamed bun in Li Ran's hand and drooled.

"I'll give it to you."

Li Ran really couldn't stand this little look, oh, give it to the little guy.

"lay down."

She yelled to her sister-in-law and snatched it from the little girl's hand. "This is for the guests, you guys can just drink the porridge."

"Eat, you won't be hungry if you're full."

Li Ran stared blankly at the black steamed bun in his hand, still unable to eat it. The situation of other families was probably the same. For each family, eating steamed bun in the evening was already considered very good, but for this group of children from the future, they could not eat it at all.

When Li Feng, Liu Wen, Wu Jing and Chen Long arrived, they saw the scene was similar.

"Is this okay?"

"It's okay, just skip two meals and you'll be fine."

He glanced at Wu Jing, Chen Long, and Liu Wen as he spoke. The three of them looked at each other secretly and grumbled. However, when they thought about the food at Li Feng's house, it seemed really good. "These kids are really unlucky to have met this big devil."

"Say less."

Wu Jing smiled bitterly. "Tomorrow, we have to go to work on the farm. If we don't do a good job, I'm afraid we won't have anything to eat."

"Oh no?"

"Let's go, let's go back, wash up, and go to bed early. We don't know when we'll get up tomorrow."

The three of them smiled bitterly. As for sympathizing with Li Ran and the others, forget it. They were already having a hard time. (End of this chapter)
