Siheyuan: Forced to exchange rooms with Qin Huairu at the beginning

"Qiangzi, Master, are you up?"

Early the next morning, Xu Damao started knocking on Zhang Zhiqiang's door. Xu Damao had slept all day yesterday and woke up early. Seeing that it was almost time, he hurried to knock on Zhang Zhiqiang's door.

"Brother Damao, you're here so early."

Zhang Zhiqiang opened the door sleepily. It was just around six o'clock.

"Haha, Master, didn't you say we should exercise today?"

Xu Damao said with a smile that he couldn't wait any longer.

"Brother Damao, just call me Qiangzi. Let's not talk about master or not."

Zhang Zhiqiang said.

"No, that won't work. The gift cannot be wasted. I'll give you the apprenticeship gift in two days."

"Okay, let's go now."

Because he had to teach Xu Damao, Zhang Zhiqiang didn't plan to stay at home.

After leaving the courtyard, the two started running. Today they planned to run to the library first and then run back, which was no more than about five kilometers at most.

As a result, Xu Damao couldn't stand up halfway through the run.

"Hoo~Hoo~Master, we are just practicing boxing, why are we running? I can't hold on any longer."

Now Xu Damao can only barely keep up with Zhang Zhiqiang's pace.

"Brother Damao, you must have good physical strength to learn martial arts. You see, I run wherever I go when I go to work or come home. I am just exercising my endurance."

Zhang Zhiqiang could imagine that Xu Damao would not be able to hold on, but he did not expect that he would not be able to hold on so soon.

"That's because you don't have a bike, otherwise you definitely wouldn't run to work."

Xu Damao replied.

Zhang Zhiqiang was speechless for a moment. What he said made so much sense.

Xu Damao just insisted on running to the library, and on the way back it was Zhang Zhiqiang who carried him back.

"Master, what shall we practice next?"

On the way back, Xu Damao rested for a while and instantly felt that he was back to normal.

"Let's do a simple stretch first, otherwise your legs will hurt like hell tomorrow, Brother Damao."

After Zhang Zhiqiang finished speaking, he led Xu Damao to stretch. Xu Damao did a good job. He felt light under his feet last night.

"Brother Damao, you should do the horse stance first. Like me, your foundation is too weak. You need to start from the basics."

Zhang Zhiqiang instructed Xu Damao to stand in a horse stance and put a chair in his hand, asking him to hold it upright.

He started boxing, and Xu Damao watched enviously from the side.

After a while, Xu Damao couldn't stand it anymore.

Xu Damao couldn't hold on in the end. Before Zhang Zhiqiang finished his set of punches, the chair in Xu Damao's hand fell down.

But Zhang Zhiqiang was heartbroken because it was made of rosewood.

"Qiangzi, don't we have any quick solution?"

Xu Damao looked at Zhang Zhiqiang expectantly.

"Brother Damao, what are you thinking? If there was such a method, wouldn't everyone learn martial arts?"

Xu Damao's question made Zhang Zhiqiang laugh.

"That's true. Forget it. I guess I'm not cut out for martial arts."

Xu Damao gave up directly. He had sweated a lot this morning and he couldn't endure such hardship.

"Brother Damao is no longer insisting?"

Zhang Zhiqiang asked, in fact, these requirements are not difficult. It is probably not difficult for a normal person to run five kilometers.

"No, it's too difficult to learn. Qiangzi, you should protect me if I have any problems in the future. See you later."

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he went home. He still had to pack up and report to the factory. After that, he would also bring his wife back. What was the point of staying at her parents' home all the time?

Zhang Zhiqiang smiled and shook his head. Xu Damao was nice to him and he really wanted to teach Xu Damao kung fu, but unfortunately he himself was not up to the mark.

After washing up, Zhang Zhiqiang trotted to work so that he could sign in again tomorrow.

The day's work ended quickly. After get off work, Zhang Zhiqiang went to the market first and bought some vegetables and meat, as there were not many things left at home. Then he ran towards the courtyard.

When passing by People's Square, Zhang Zhiqiang was attracted by a beautiful scenery. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was Ran Qiuye.

"Comrade Ran Qiuye."

Zhang Zhiqiang shouted loudly.

Hearing the voice, Ran Qiuye stopped his bicycle and looked around to see who was calling him. Soon he saw Zhang Zhiqiang behind him and was immediately very happy, as they had not seen each other for a long time.

"Zhang Zhiqiang, why are you here?"

You can hear Ran Qiuye's happiness from her tone.

"I just bought some things after get off work and am about to go home."

Zhang Zhiqiang said this while raising what he had in his hand.

"So much meat, your family is really well off."

Ran Qiuye was right. These days many families only buy meat during the Chinese New Year, and Zhang Zhiqiang's meat looked like it weighed four or five kilograms.

"You're all alone, so just eat something. Where are you going?"

Zhang Zhiqiang changed the subject. There was no way to talk about this kind of thing.

"I'm going to go to the Red Star Courtyard."

Zhang Zhiqiang looked strange, this was not where he lived.

"what happened?"

Ran Qiuye looked at Zhang Zhiqiang's expression and asked, why is he so weird?

"Well, my family lives in the Red Star Courtyard."

Zhang Zhiqiang said.

"Ah? Really? What a coincidence."

Ran Qiuye originally thought that it was a coincidence to meet him, but she didn't expect it to be even more coincidental.

"you do not say."

Zhang Zhiqiang also felt that it was a bit too coincidental.

"Then let's go together. Your things can just fit in my basket."

Ran Qiuye made the invitation and Zhang Zhiqiang did not refuse. He was eager to spend more time with Ran Qiuye.

Then Zhang Zhiqiang put the things in Ran Qiuye's cart basket, pushed the cart himself, and Ran Qiuye walked beside him.

Originally, Ran Qiuye asked Zhang Zhiqiang to take her on a bike ride, but Zhang Zhiqiang refused, thinking that it was a bit too intimate.

Ran Qiuye didn't say anything, but her opinion of Zhang Zhiqiang became even higher.

On the way, Zhang Zhiqiang learned that Banggeng was Ran Qiuye's student. This time, the principal arranged for Ran Qiuye to ask for Banggeng's tuition for this semester, and to find out why Banggeng had not been to school for so long.

Zhang Zhiqiang did not hide it and told Ran Qiuye that Banggeng did not go because his hand was pinched when he went to his house to steal something.

"Ah? How can a child as young as Jia Geng be like this?"

Ran Qiuye said angrily that she would not allow her students to do such thieving behavior.

"You don't understand. Jia Geng's mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, is lazy and likes to take advantage of others. She has a distorted world view. Jia Geng has been influenced too much by this grandmother."

Zhang Zhiqiang shook his head and explained.

"Ah? Are there still people like this now?"

Ran Qiuye was very surprised. Nowadays, people talk about dedication and complain that they don't work enough. So how come there are still people who are lazy and don't work?

"That's right. You'll know when you see him. I don't think your visit to the Jia family will be smooth this time."

The two chatted as they walked to the gate of the courtyard, and Yan Bugui was still watering the flowers.

"Hey, Teacher Ran, why are you here?"

Yan Bugui looked at the two people in surprise. Why was Zhang Zhiqiang with Ran Qiuye? He was planning to introduce Ran Qiuye to Sha Zhu.

"Teacher Yan, Banggeng hasn't been to school for a long time. I'll go see why."

Yan Bugui and Ran Qiuye are colleagues and they know each other.

When they arrived at the Central Courtyard, Ran Qiuye and Zhang Zhiqiang separated and agreed that after the home visit, Ran Qiuye would go to Zhang Zhiqiang's house for dinner.
