Episode 57: Gifts
"Hello!"
"Hello!"
At the gate of Zhiren Primary School, Jiang Chen looked at Ye Wen and Zhang Tianzhi with a smile. If it were before, he might have planned to come forward to make friends with Zhang Tianzhi, but now he is about to leave, and obviously he has no intention of talking to others.
However, Ip Man, obviously, had a good impression of Zhang Tianzhi, who had saved him. He immediately exchanged greetings and asked, "Come and pick up the child?"
"Yes!" Zhang Tianzhi smiled, then lowered his head, took out a bottle of medicinal wine from under him and handed it to Yip Man, "By the way, this bottle of medicinal wine can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and be used for your son."
The reason he did this was because yesterday his son Zhang Feng and Ye Zheng, the son of Ye Zheng, had a conflict between these two little guys in order to compete for who is the best in the class. He was too late to pull the cart. When I saw that Zhang Feng was hungry, Ip Man took Zhang Feng home for dinner. So, he took out this bottle of medicinal wine today, and actually wanted to repay the favor of Ip Man's supper.
"Thank you, thank you, so polite!" Ip Man knew very well about the worldly style, so he didn't refuse. He immediately smiled and took the bottle of medicinal wine. Then he asked with some concern: "Is Zhang Feng okay?"
"He's fine!" Zhang Tianzhi nodded in response.
"That's good!" Ip Man smiled.
"Master Ye!" Zhang Tianzhi suddenly looked at Ye Wen, turned the subject aside, and asked, "I heard that your Wing Chun is the master of Master Chen Huashun, right?"
Hearing this, Ip Man couldn't help but get into the formation, but he nodded immediately and replied: "Yes!"
"So, we can be considered as fellow disciples," Zhang Tianzhi said lightly: "After all, everyone's masters are all Mr. Zan of Foshan."
"Well." Ip Man was a little stunned, then bowed and smiled with surprise: "Then we can really be regarded as fellow disciples."
But Zhang Tianzhi seemed to ask with a little curiosity: "Master tells me that Master Chen Huashun's fist is better than a knife and his feet are stronger, isn't that true?"
The martial arts world emphasizes respecting teachers and respecting the Tao. Although this question is ordinary, because it involves teaching teachers, Ip Man dared not answer easily. The smile on his face also calmed down. He responded just now: "Every master has his own strengths and weaknesses, which is very normal."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Tianzhi asked again: "Where are you, Master Ye?"
"I know a little about everything." Ip Man didn't have much concern about himself, and immediately responded modestly.
"If you have the chance, let's talk together!" When Zhang Tianzhi said this, his eyes were filled with fighting spirit, as if his blood began to boil.
Ye Wen naturally realized this. If he had been in Foshan before, he might have returned to the absolute side, but now that he is running a martial arts hall, although he is unwilling to do so, he has to respond perfunctorily: "Let's find it for a day."
Zhang Tianzhi wanted to ask for a specific date, but he never thought that at this moment, the ringing ringing of the school came from school. Then, the primary school students shouted and rushed out of the school gate. The scene was in chaos. He wanted to ask, but it was a bit too out of place at this time.
"Master!" In the crowd, a little boy shouted loudly in the direction of Zhang Tianzhi.
"Advisor!" Seeing the little boy, Zhang Tianzhi hurriedly nodded to Ye Wen, then hurried forward and took the child.
Before Ye Zheng could see Ye Zheng, Ip Man had to meet with Jiang Chen first. Looking at Jiang Chen's smiling expression, he had to say, "That is Ah Zheng's father, who is also a student of Wing Chun, and he is considered a fellow disciple."
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "So, have you agreed to fight him?"
"Uh, I just want to find some time to discuss it." Ip Man quickly said, "A Chen, don't tell your master's wife about this matter. You know, she doesn't like me fighting with others."
"I understand, understand." Jiang Chen smiled even louder.
"Dad!" At this moment, a crisp child voice sounded, and a little boy who was a little bit like Ip Man was running over with his schoolbag on his back with a happy face.
"Ah Zheng!" Ip Man quickly met him, then held his hand and came to Jiang Chen, introducing: "This is your senior brother Jiang Chen. Don't you admire him the most? Now that I see you, are you happy!"
"Ah! He is Senior Brother Jiang Chen?" When the child Ye Zheng heard this, he looked at Jiang Chen and couldn't help but exclaim: "Happy, happy, I'm so happy!"
"I'm very happy to see you!" Jiang Chen smiled and reached out to touch Ye Zheng's little head. Then, he took out a jade pendant with a red rope from his pocket and hung it around Ye Zheng's neck: "This is a gift from the eldest brother. Do you like it?"
Ye Zheng looked at the zodiac jade pendant carved into a mouse, and nodded truthfully and replied: "I like it!"
The child didn't recognize it, but Ip Man could see it clearly. The jade pendant was carved from the best white jade with mutton fat and was of extraordinary value. He couldn't help but frown at it and said, "A Chen, he is a child, your gift is a bit too expensive."
"It's not expensive, not expensive, giving gifts is the heart, and the value of the gift itself is not important." Jiang Chen smiled and said, "What's more, this thing was not bought by me. It was given to me when I went to the mainland to challenge a Grand Master of Danjin. When he parted, he gave it to me."
"Nonsense." Ip Man didn't understand. This was Jiang Chen's excuse. Even if someone gave a gift, he would not give Jiang Chen the zodiac jade pendant. After all, he knew clearly that Jiang Chen was born in the Year of the Sheep.
Jiang Chen was about to reply, and at this moment, three gangster-like people passed by them and walked into the school. Ip Man subconsciously frowned, which made Jiang Chen ask curiously: "Master, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Ip Man responded with some concern: "But, the person who just walked over was the gangster leader in this area. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be going to school, I was afraid that they would cause trouble for the school."
"Why don't we go back and take a look." After hearing Ye Wen's words, Jiang Chen immediately remembered that if the information infused with him by the Reincarnation Watch was correct, then the gangsters who had just passed by should be the leader of Ma Jingsheng, the leader of the nearby casino. This time, he was indeed coming to cause trouble for the school.
"Okay." Ip Man responded, "But I'll just go and see it myself. If you take Ah Zheng here to wait for me, maybe I'm suspicious, maybe I'm not doing anything."
"Go together." Jiang Chen smiled and said, "All of them are martial arts practitioners. Since they meet, it's hard to ignore them. If you take A Zheng together, maybe he can see my skills."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zheng couldn't help but lit up his eyes and immediately clapped his hands and smiled, "Okay, okay!"
"Okay, let's go together." Ye Wen shook his head helplessly, then turned around and walked quickly towards the school because he saw that Ma Jingsheng and others had already entered the school.
Jiang Chen picked Ye Zheng up and followed Ye Wen closely behind him. The two young and old men quickly entered the school and went outside the principal's office.
Through a door, at this moment, a few frightening and shouts were heard from time to time in the office. He accelerated his pace and walked closer. Then he saw that the principal's office was already in chaos. Ma Jingsheng was grabbing the principal's hand and smashing it hard on the table, forcing him to sign and seal the contract for selling the school.
Seeing Ma Jingsheng's actions, Ye Wen was angry and kicked open the office door. He took a step forward and came to Ma Jingsheng. He grabbed his hand tightly and pushed it out with a push hand, hitting the wall. Seeing this, his two subordinates kicked Ye Wen to the ground before they could react, and then shouted loudly, "What are you doing?!"
