Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

"Haha! I have nothing to do, so I'm practicing boxing with Brother Guang."

Zhao Gang's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. One must know that there are always people better than you.

Ever since he failed in the last sports meet, he knew that Pei Guang was quite skilled in martial arts, but he had never had the chance to compete with him.

As a veteran, the spirit of striving for excellence and victory is deeply rooted in my bones, and it suddenly surges up.

Even if I can’t beat others in high jump, I can still beat them in fighting.

"Brother Pei, which style of boxing do you practice? Are you interested in fighting with me?" Zhao Gang invited enthusiastically.

Pei Guang was speechless, and had no desire to fight at all.

As the saying goes, force can defeat skill. Although Zhao Gang, a retired veteran, has low combat power, he is no different from an ordinary person in his eyes.

If he takes it seriously, Zhao Gang will definitely fall to the ground within three breaths.

Seeing that the other party was inviting him so warmly and was determined to turn down the invitation, he couldn't refuse. At most, he could just give them some leeway and save some face.

"Brother Zhao, I learned Bajiquan, so it wouldn't be a problem for me to practice with you."

"Okay! I'm learning Sanda, let's start now." Zhao Gang put down the bag in his hand, took off his coat first, and stretched his muscles.

Five minutes later, the two were ready, their eyes met, and sparks of fire were flying.

Zhao Gang stood with his fists clenched in an "eight" shape in front of his chest, with his right foot directly behind him and his front foot turned inward at 45 degrees. He adjusted his center of gravity and got into a fighting stance.

Pei Guang stepped forward with his left foot, swung his right foot to 60 degrees, squatted down, placed his right palm flat on his chest, and bent his left elbow with the palm facing inward.

As the referee, Zhang Xiaofan didn't dare to breathe. His heart was pounding, as if he was shocked by the tense atmosphere.

This was his first time witnessing the actual combat capabilities of Bajiquan, and just imagining the exciting scene of the battle made his blood boil unconsciously.

Finally, with Zhang Xiaofan's announcement, the battle was about to begin.

Zhao Gang took the lead in launching the attack. With the force bursting out from his feet, he rushed towards Pei Guang like an arrow from a bow.

When he was close to him, he suddenly raised his right foot and kicked towards Pei Guang's waist.

Pei Guang used both hands to block the opponent's attack and easily relieved the force.

Perhaps because of the test, the strength and speed of the attacks from both sides were not fast.

Zhao Gang showed a hint of excitement on his face, and the next moment, he clenched his right fist and swept across quickly.

Pei Guang took a half step back, tilted his head back, and dodged. At the same time, he reached forward with his right hand, and when the opponent's strength had weakened and had not yet caught up, he easily grabbed the opponent's wrist, and then exerted force upward, and the opponent's middle door suddenly opened wide.

Pei Guang took the opportunity to move forward and used a standard stick-to-mountain move to push his opponent back.

Zhao Gang's center of gravity was unstable, and due to inertia, he staggered back half a meter.

He rubbed his chest and grinned, a look of shock flashing across his face, "Brother Pei, you are really a pushover, you are so arrogant."

Pei Guang smiled slightly, "Brother Zhao, don't be careless and lose Jingzhou!"

"Come on, let's continue."

The two men fought for the first time. After just two moves, Zhang Xiaofan was very excited. If he was not afraid of disturbing the neighbors, he would have cheered.

Hehe! It seems that Brother Guang has the upper hand.

The battle continued. This time, Zhao Gang no longer held back and took this seemingly ordinary opponent seriously.

He leaned forward and stamped his feet suddenly, moving twice as fast as before. Wherever he passed, strong winds were raised.

He clenched his fists in front of his body, making it difficult to tell the specific direction of his attack.

"Bang bang bang!"

In a few breaths, fists and feet collided several times, the speed was so fast that Zhang Xiaofan was dazzled. He saw many afterimages flashing by, and each punch hit the flesh, which was really exciting.

The strange sound echoed throughout the backyard. Gradually, some neighbors noticed something was wrong and went out to check what was going on.

"Oh my god! Why did they suddenly start fighting? Xiaofan, why don't you stop them immediately?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sun Dahu wanted to step forward to dissuade them.

Liu Haizhong wiped his eyes, frightened out of his wits, "Xiao Guang, stop immediately, what if you hurt Section Chief Zhao?"

Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly dissuaded them, "Second Uncle, Brother Dahu, they are just practicing martial arts, don't get me wrong."

"What? A martial arts exchange?"

Several neighbors looked at each other, somewhat at a loss, and then their pupils suddenly shrank.

Oh my god! Martial arts competition is so scary, if they were to go up, they would be knocked down in minutes.

Pei Guang blocked the attack again, and quickly grabbed the opponent's wrist, "Brother Zhao, we are equally strong, so let's stop here for now."

Zhao Gang felt dazed, his pupils full of disbelief. After so many rounds of fighting, he didn't even touch the corner of his opponent's clothes. And the last move was so fast that he didn't even have time to react.

hiss!

He took a deep breath, knowing that the gap between the two sides was as huge as heaven and earth, and this set of rhetoric was just a way for him to save face.

Zhao Gang cupped his hands and praised, "Brother Pei, I admire your strength. I will learn from you next time when I have time."

"Hi! Brother Zhao, you are too polite. Would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?" Pei Guang probably guessed the other party's purpose and invited him directly.

Zhao Gang glanced at everyone and nodded in agreement.

Looking at the backs of the two people, Liu Haizhong and others were stunned.

"Brother Zhao? Brother Pei? Are the two of them so close?"

Zhang Xiaofan's eyes were sparkling with stars. He was deeply shocked by the two men's skills, and an unprecedented motivation surged in his heart.

It should be noted that when he was young, he had great ambitions and was once considered to be the best in the world.

He believed that if he encountered an emergency one day in the future, he would be able to turn the tide, point his finger forward, and shout, "I'm going to beat ten of them."

Haha! I feel a little silly.

......

Pei family living room.

Zhao Maimai poured two cups of tea and placed them on the coffee table in front of the sofa, then gathered up his trousers and sat down gracefully.

"Brother Zhao, have some tea to quench your thirst."

After hearing about what happened in the afternoon, she was not at all surprised by Zhao Gang's arrival.

I am even more curious about the subsequent development of the matter.

"Thank you, sister-in-law! Brother Pei really married a virtuous wife." Zhao Gang picked up the teacup and praised generously.

"Hahaha!"

After the greetings, Zhao Gang put the two bags on the coffee table and thanked him, "Brother, thanks to you for helping me this afternoon, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

Pei Guang knew very well that Zhao Gang, as a veteran, was generous and open-minded, and not fussy about details. Being too polite would only hurt their feelings, so he accepted the gift without even looking at it.

As expected, the smile on Zhao Gang's face widened.

Chapter 198: Visit to Thank You

"By the way, Brother Zhao, is Xiaojie awake? What happened to the human trafficker later?" Pei Guang said as he leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and felt relaxed both physically and mentally.

Speaking of this, Zhao Gang slapped his thigh and started to complain.

Zhao Zijie (Zhao Gang's son) woke up an hour ago and is in good health.

When the traffickers arrived at the police station, they realized that they were powerless and confessed to the trafficking.

Perhaps hoping for the best, the trafficker insisted that this was his first crime and is currently under further interrogation.

Pei Guang sighed and said angrily, "Damn it, judging from the calm mentality of that trafficker, it's impossible that this is his first offense."

Zhao Gang slapped his thigh again, "Who said it wasn't true? I was so angry that I almost passed out. I wanted to shoot her with a gun."

Uh......

With veins bulging and a ferocious and terrifying expression, maybe he had a weapon in his hand and would really do it.

Pei Guang quickly changed the subject, "Brother Zhao, tell me how the child was lost. How could someone have stolen the child in such a busy shopping mall?"

"this....."

Zhao Gang scratched his head awkwardly. "I am ashamed to say that Xiao Jing and I were choosing shoes in the store..."

"By the way, brother, the police station is looking for you. They said they want to reward you for your brave act. Do you have any difficulties? Why did you just leave?"

Pei Guang touched his nose and said solemnly, "I heard that these human traffickers often work in groups. Who knows if there are any accomplices at the scene? If someone were to target me, I wouldn't mind. I'm just worried that my family would be hurt."

"As for that little bit of reward, it's fine if you don't want it. We don't need that little bit of reward."

Zhao Gang suddenly understood, and his eyes showed some approval.

Although this little brother is young, he is thoughtful and knows the principle of keeping a low profile.

It seems that I need to learn more. The security department is prone to offending people, so I can't be too aggressive, so as not to bring harm to my family.

"Brother, your sister-in-law said she is going to prepare a dinner party at home tomorrow. Thank you for your generosity this time."

Pei Guang pondered for a moment and then agreed.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved and it was getting dark, Zhao Gang took the opportunity to say goodbye.

After he left, Zhao Maimai opened the bag, took a look, and immediately exclaimed.

"Brother Guang, come and take a look at these things?"

Two packs of Peony brand cigarettes, two bottles of Maotai liquor, two cans of West Lake Longjing, two cans of milk powder, etc. There was also a red envelope at the bottom, which I opened and counted, and found ten big unity bills, a total of 100 yuan.

All other miscellaneous items added up are equivalent to four months' salary of an ordinary person, which shows how generous he is.

Thinking about it carefully, it was normal. The monthly salary of a section chief was 99 yuan, which was a drop in the bucket for Zhao Gang. In comparison, his biological son was the real priceless treasure.

A few days later, as the police worked day and night, asked many questions, and used both soft and hard tactics, the trafficker finally couldn't stand the pressure and confessed all his past crimes, as well as the information of his six accomplices.

The police followed the clues and soon found the men's lair, but unfortunately it was already empty.

Among them, there were two citizens and four illegal immigrants. Although they could not take a single step without letters of introduction, it was not so easy to catch them if they were determined to hide.

However, several children who had been trafficked were found, so it was considered a gain.

Pei Guang remained silent after learning about this. He could escape for a while, but not forever. How could a life of hiding from place to place be easy?

Perhaps that kind of suffering is the most painful.

......

On Friday morning, the sky was gloomy and dark clouds covered the sky, giving me an indescribable feeling of depression.

After breakfast, Pei Guang pushed the cart to the front yard and happened to meet Yan Fugui who was getting ready for work.

Holding the lesson plan in his hand and wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, he looks like a man of great learning.

"Uncle, I thought you wanted to buy a bicycle a few months ago. How come you haven't saved enough money yet?" Pei Guang said casually.

Yan Fugui rolled her eyes, her face full of resentment, giving off a sense of a resentful woman in the deep palace.

He only regretted that he was a step slower at that time, otherwise Pei Guang's old car would have been in his pocket and it would not have been delayed until now.

"Ugh!"

He sighed deeply, "I did save enough money, but who knew that industrial vouchers would be issued later, and more people would buy cars, causing the price of used cars to rise sharply."

"I originally wanted to wait for the price to drop before buying, but who would have thought... I regret it so much."

Pei Guang was so amused by the little expression of covering his chest with his hands and full of regret that he almost laughed out loud.

Hahaha! Even the best abacus players can make mistakes sometimes.

I probably won't be able to sleep at night.

Zhao Maimai turned her face away, her cheeks puffed up, and her expression was out of control.

"Uncle, it's normal for prices to fall back. Maybe it will get better after a while."

"Oh! It's almost time to go to work. Let's talk next time." Pei Guang said and hurriedly ran away with his wife.

Yan Fugui was left alone, feeling sad and muttering to himself.
