Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

The same goes for Sha Zhu. With his reputation as a carefree person and his father being the monitor, he successfully won the wrestling spot in the kitchen.

The same goes for Jiang Fan. The technical department is given priority for him and Zhong Xueying.

Jiang Fan wrote his name on the 5,000-meter long-distance race without hesitation.

"Hiss~ Jiang Fan, why don't you change one? The 5,000-meter long-distance race is not an easy event." Ding Lei was shocked. He didn't quite understand why Jiang Fan chose this event.

"That's wrong. A 5,000-meter race may seem long, but it's actually not short at all."

"It's true that listening to your words is better than talking to you." Ye Yu rolled her eyes. Jiang Fan looked so serious just now that she really thought he could tell her something. But in the end, this is it?

"Jiang Fan, let me tell you, your ranking is related to Yingying's happiness. If you can't get those seven days of honeymoon leave, I will take it away from you!" Ye Yu clenched his fists and swung them hard.

Ding Lei suddenly felt a chill somewhere and said in a mean voice, "Sister Yu, if you are like this, will Xiao Zhong be able to be happy in the future?"

"Get lost!" Ye Yu reacted quickly, shouting at Ding Lei angrily, "This technical department has become so filthy because of guys like you. It's nothing."

Ding Lei sniffed and said it didn't matter. They have known each other for so many years, so who doesn't know each other?

"Xiao Zhong, think about which project you sign up for. Maybe if you get a place, you can even ask Lao Han for another seven days of vacation."

Zhong Xueying shook her head when she heard this. "I asked the section chief last time, but he didn't agree. Giving me seven days off was already the biggest concession he could make.

But I have to take this rank, after all, I am a member of our technical department."

As she spoke, Zhong Xueying wrote her name on the women's 5,000-meter long-distance race.

As the saying goes, people of the same family tend to be alike. Ding Lei shook his head and wrote his name on the ping-pong ball next to him. There was no way he would run five kilometers.

Zhao Wen was similar and signed up for the long jump, which was just a matter of jumping.

In the cafeteria, Xu Damao heard that Jiang Ping'an had also signed up for wrestling, and suddenly felt that there was no hope of winning the championship, and his eyes were filled with gloom.

"What's going on? It's like I lost money?" Jiang Fan sat down next to him with his lunch box.

"I know that Brother Ping'an also signed up for wrestling. Brother Damao knows that he has no hope of winning first place, so he is a little discouraged." Jiang Dalei answered quickly.

Jiang Fan looked at his elder brother, and Jiang Ping'an nodded, indicating that it was indeed the case.

"Then there's no need to look so sad. Your goal is Shazhu, not the ranking."

"You don't understand! You don't understand at all."

Xu Damao looked up at the ceiling with a dazed look in his eyes.

He didn't understand why he had just obtained "Yan's Wrestling" and was about to defeat Sha Zhu in the sports meeting, win first place, show his style and become famous.

As a result, before I even had much practice, I found out that Jiang Ping'an also wanted to participate in wrestling.

Others may not know this, but how could he not know Jiang Ping'an's wrestling skills?

Jiang Pingan has some wrestling skills, but not much. But he is too strong.

Xu Damao had witnessed with his own eyes that during a conflict between the Jiang family and Sha Zhu, Jiang Pingan lifted Sha Zhu up with both hands. He even swung Sha Zhu around, practically swinging him around like a stick.

Even if he mastered the complete "Yan's Wrestling" technique, he probably wouldn't be a match for this kind of person, let alone the fact that he had only learned a little bit.

If it weren't for "Yan's Wrestling", he wouldn't have thought about winning the championship, but after getting this thing, he felt itchy.

Before I had the cheats, I had no chance of winning the championship. Now that I have the cheats, I still have no chance of winning the championship. So, all my practice of this cheat was in vain!

But Xu Damao soon returned to normal because Sha Zhu came over and made some harsh remarks.

"Xu Damao, I've signed up for wrestling. Have you signed up?"

Hearing Sha Zhu's mocking tone, Xu Damao snorted coldly, "Of course I signed up. I was worried that you wouldn't sign up, and I wouldn't be able to find you when the time comes."

Sha Zhu said happily, "It's good that you signed up. Xu Damao, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"No bet!" Xu Damao refused without hesitation.

"Just bet, the bet is... If you don't bet, are you still a man?" Sha Zhu was stunned. He never expected that Xu Damao would refuse him.

Chapter 459: Betting? No Betting

"Xu Damao! How could you refuse me?"

"Why can't I refuse you, you lunatic!"

"I don't care, you just can't refuse me!"

Sha Zhu didn't care anymore and directly grabbed Xu Damao by the collar and stared at him, "Xu Damao, I said you can't refuse me!"

Xu Damao seemed to be intimidated by Sha Zhu's aura and did not react for a while.

The atmosphere between the two of them became a little ambiguous, and they got closer.

There was a snap.

Xu Damao was awakened by the chopsticks dropped by one of his coworkers on the ground. In an instant, his face turned as red as a sandy watermelon.

He punched Sha Zhu.

"Get lost!"

"What the hell are you doing standing so close to me, idiot? I told you not to gamble, and you're still trying to force me to gamble with you? Do you know that gambling is illegal and strictly prohibited by the factory?"

Xu Damao's mind was working quickly, and he pointed fingers at Sha Zhu from the commanding heights of morality and factory rules and regulations.

"Shazhu, shazhu, you shameless bastard, you actually dared to lure me into gambling with you, this is simply outrageous!"

Sha Zhu covered his mouth; the punch just now hit him on the mouth.

"You're talking nonsense! When did I ask you to gamble with me? I was betting with you!"

Sha Zhu howled, if Xu Damao really convicted him of such a crime, wouldn't he be ruined?

Snapped!

Xu Damao slapped Sha Zhu in the face and said bitterly, "Sha Zhu! Gambling is gambling. There's no difference between betting and gambling. How many people fall into the gambling trap because of small bets?"

"Well said!" Jiang Fan clapped his hands out of respect, and the clapping sound boosted the mood of his fellow workers.

The steel rolling mill is a large factory with tens of thousands of employees and thousands of families. It is inevitable that there will be gamblers in some families, which will lead to family breakdown and separation of wives and children.

Xu Damao's words truly expressed the thoughts of some people.

"Xu Damao is right. My wife started out betting on cigarettes, then started betting a few cents at a time, and in the end she almost lost her entire house."

"Who says it's not true? My dad used to give money away every day, leaving nothing at home. Luckily, he starved to death last year, otherwise none of us would have survived."

"Gambling is gambling. There's no such thing as small gambling for pleasure, but big gambling for harm. People like that can only go out at noon. Sooner or later, they'll be cold!"

"..."

No matter whether you like gambling or not in private, whether you gamble or not, in this case you can only say that you don't gamble.

If you dare to say something good about gambling, a beating would be the least of your punishment.

The crowd was outraged. Sha Zhu knew that his advantage was gone, so he pointed at Xu Damao and said, "You wait and go back to the courtyard." Then he walked away in shame.

Xu Damao didn't care about this. They had been fighting for so many years, so what else could they do without a few useless harsh words?

However, Xu Damao still had no intention of looking down on Sha Zhu. After finishing his meal, he immediately went to the security department to start learning wrestling techniques, without any sense of decadence at all.

Sure enough, Sha Zhu is the best medicine for Xu Damao to work hard and make progress.

When Xu Damao returned home from get off work that afternoon, he did not wait for Sha Zhu's provocation. He was probably ruthlessly suppressed by He Daqing.

This made Xu Damao very regretful, as he had wanted to fight with Sha Zhu in advance.

……

The registration period for the sports meet is two days.

Two days later, the list of participants for each project in each workshop and department was placed on the table of the Propaganda Department.

They have to arrange the number and order of competitions for each event based on this list, which is also a considerable workload.

But this is none of Xu Damao’s business. Not to mention that he is just a movie projectionist, these jobs are not his responsibility.

He gave so many benefits to the people in the department, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't work during this period.

"The leader said that for events like running, weightlifting, and long jump, we can just assign two people to supervise and follow the order of the workshop departments.

For competitive games such as wrestling, arm wrestling, and chess, we conduct them by drawing lots.

For example, for wrestling, we have two venues, A and B. When drawing lots, the numbers A and B will be followed by the numbers, representing the number of the match. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

At this time, Xu Damao's friend in the Propaganda Department raised his hand and said, "Section Chief, we are all on the same side. How should we handle this confrontation between Xu Damao and Sha Zhu?"

Section Chief Wang glanced up and said slowly, "The competition is still about ten days away. We'll see then. Hasn't Xu Damao been practicing wrestling hard recently? If he still insists, let them wrestle."

The man nodded and understood. Xu Damao and Sha Zhu probably wouldn't be assigned to two different venues, and would most likely meet in the semi-finals.

At this time, Xu Damao was still training hard at the Security Department training ground.

After two days of continuous learning, Xu Damao has now mastered some routines and countermeasures, and is no longer a wild mover who can only stretch his legs to trip people.

"Brother, what do you think of his two moves? They look pretty good to me." Jiang Fan and Jiang Ping'an squatted together, watching Xu Damao wrestling with someone.

"These two moves are very practical. If used well, it will be no problem to deal with the fool Zhu mentioned earlier." Jiang Ping'an commented. He had finished his work for the day, so he ran over to see how Xu Damao was doing.

"Before? And now?"

"I don't know. Didn't you say that Sha Zhu found a new master to learn from? He must have made some progress. It's hard to judge without seeing him take action." Jiang Ping'an gave a very objective evaluation.

Jiang Fan nodded. "Brother, you haven't learned wrestling systematically, right? Why are you signing up for this?"

Jiang Fan had wanted to ask this question for a long time. Based on his elder brother's strength, he would definitely be the champion in weightlifting.

Wrestling is a bit uncertain. No one knows if there are any experts in this steel mill.

Jiang Pingan smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you? I really like wrestling."

Jiang Fan thought about it, but couldn’t remember it.

"Da Mao, come and let me try with you. As long as you can use your wrestling skills to knock me down, you can defeat Sha Zhu." Jiang Ping'an shouted loudly, and went down to fight with Xu Damao.

Li Weiguo looked at Jiang Ping'an, who was as still as a mountain, and said with emotion, "Another good candidate for the army. Jiang Fan, your family was born for the army."

Look at your eldest brother. If he were in this situation a dozen years ago, he would definitely be the captain of the Big Knife Team."

Li Weiguo was really envious. Only after experiencing hand-to-hand combat could he know how suitable a person like Jiang Pingan was for the army.

Jiang Fan ignored him. In Li Weiguo's eyes, all the men in his family should go to the battlefield.

In the field, Xu Damao first used all his strength to wrestle with Jiang Ping'an. He wanted to see how big the gap was between him and his opponent.

Chapter 460: Have You Ever Been Pu

Late at night, Yang Liming lay on the bed with a relaxed look on his face. This time he signed up for the 400-meter sprint.

Although Yang Aiguo was very dissatisfied, he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't force him to run 5,000 meters or participate in wrestling. It would exhaust him to death.

"Liming, can you take my cousin and me in to see the fun on the day of the sports meet?" Liu Ruyan asked softly, bringing him a cup of tea.

"I don't think it will be possible that day. I heard from my uncle that there will be a senior leader coming over, and since this is the first large-scale unofficial event in the city, security will be very strict.

I guess there will be more troops coming to set up surveillance, so it will be difficult for outsiders to get in." Yang Limin pursed his lips and shook his head slightly, then looked at Liu Ruyan, took her hand and said.

"What are you looking at? It's boring to see a bunch of people running around over there. I don't even want to go. It's better for the two of us to play inside."

Liu Ruyan's expression remained unchanged, she was still as gentle as ever, but she felt quite disgusted in her heart. She was in her thirties and still in the prime of her charm, how could she play with a eunuch?

What a waste of saliva.

"It's not like I haven't seen many sports meets before, so I want to go and broaden my horizons. But since you said that the security is so tight that it's inconvenient to go in, then we won't go." Liu Ruyan smiled, and her every move showed her charm.

Although he had seen it countless times, Yang Liming still became dazed.

At the beginning, he was not interested in Liu Ruyan. After all, Liu Ruyan was much older than him and was not yet a virgin.

But later, it smelled really good!

Gradually, Yang Liming's standards for choosing a spouse changed. He gradually stopped liking green apples and instead set his sights on red hearts who were a few years older than him or even ten years older.

Especially after his health problems began, he also went to look for other young but misguided girls, but he would never forget the mocking look in their eyes.
