Su Yi also didn't expect that Zhang Ting's father also lived in Wutong Street. This was probably fate.

In the past few days, Su Yi has become quite familiar with his neighbors.

The old town has a strong atmosphere of fireworks and a strong sense of human touch. The people who live here are basically lonely elderly people, and there are also a few with young grandchildren. Their children may not come once a week or even a month. There is also a saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Everyone has a harmonious relationship on weekdays. If someone has something to do, the neighbors will lend a helping hand.

Su Yi remembered that the old man who lived across the street from him was named Old Zhang. He took his little granddaughter and built a shed on the street. After picking up his granddaughter from kindergarten, he would sell jelly noodles there.

As for Old Zhang's granddaughter, Su Yi remembers that he once called her Diandian, so she should be Zhang Ting's daughter.

Zhang Dan sent Su Yi to the door of Wutong Street's house. Zhang Ting didn't get out of the car. She just looked at the door of her house twice in the car and left after Su Yi got off the car.

It was already very late at this time, Zhang Ting's father's house had turned off the lights, and Su Yi went back to his room to sleep.

Although he no longer needs to sleep at all, he still strives to have the same living habits as ordinary people.

At 7:30 in the morning, Su Yi got up and washed up, walked to the door, and looked into Old Lin's yard. Old Lin was already boxing in the yard. Lin Yiyun also made breakfast, leaving one for Old Lin, and was going to eat it before going to school.

"Su Yi, aren't you going to school?" Lin Yiyun really couldn't understand Su Yi. When Mingming was in the bookstore, Su Yi, a person who loves reading so much, would skip class from time to time. This is a bit unreasonable.

Su Yi said, "You go ahead, I'll go in the afternoon."

This class can no longer be free.

"Okay, then I'll leave first." Lin Yiyun rode his bike straight to school.

Su Yi walked into the small courtyard of Lin Yiyun's house. Old Lin also stopped and said to Su Yi earnestly, "Little Su, you still have to put your studies first. How can you not go to class all the time?"

"I'm mostly self-taught." Su Yi said with a smile, "Don't worry about this. You've been boxing for two days. Do you feel better?"

"After a fight, people need to be more energetic. What's the name of your boxing technique?"

"Five-Animal Frolics, have you heard of it?" Su Yi said, "This is the most complete Five-Animal Frolics."

"Five-Animal Frolics?" Old Lin grinned, "I've seen people beat up in the park, but this is different from you."

According to current historical records, Wuqinxi is a health-preserving boxing method compiled by Hua Tuo in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and has since spawned many schools.

Unofficial history even records that Sima Yi relied on such a set of boxing techniques to maintain his health, and used his lifespan to outlast three generations of monarchs Cao Family.

But in fact, Hua Tuo just accidentally saw Su Yi boxing in the courtyard, got a glimpse of it, and then made up the boxing technique through his own speculation.

In the final analysis, Su Yi is the most original version. Even the Five-Animal Frolics created by Hua Tuo is very different from the boxing method Su Yi taught Old Lin.

"What I'm teaching you is naturally not the kind of practice you do in the park. You just have to practice hard anyway." Su Yi asked, "My cousin is also a doctor. She will treat your illness, so don't worry about it."

"You know everything?" Old Lin sighed and said, "Your cousin said that I can be cured in one month, but I know this disease well. Experts from other major hospitals have said that I don't have much time left. Now, I just comfort myself."

Su Yi said, "Don't be so pessimistic. My cousin's family is from a medical family, and her grandfather is Ye Lin. You know, right? If she says she can cure you in a month, then she can cure you."

He has already taught Secret Art of Medicine thirteen chapters to Ye Xiaxuan. In addition, the boxing techniques taught by Su Yi can regulate the body's Qi and blood. If Old Lin's disease cannot be cured, then Ye Xiaxuan's apprentice will really lose his face.

"Ye Lin? I have heard that an old Chinese doctor said he is a miracle doctor and your cousin is his granddaughter?" Old Lin looked at Su Yi, "Then aren't you considered half a Ye Family person?"

"You can forget it." Su Yi was too lazy to explain.

Old Lin looked at Su Yi and nodded. "Then your family conditions are pretty good."

He was examining whether Su Yi was suitable to be his grandson-in-law.

He is handsome and his words make people feel comfortable. Old Lin thinks this young man is very good. If his family conditions are also very good, where can he find such a young man?

In order to teach Old Lin how to box, Su Yi practiced with him again.

It was almost eight o'clock, and Old Man Zhang from the opposite side finally led his granddaughter out of the door. He saw Su Yi and the others fisting, and waved hello.

"Old Zhang! Come to my house for dinner at noon." Su Yi and the elderly people nearby also shouted to Old Man Zhang.

"What are you eating?" Old Man Zhang is not polite. These old people also like Su Yi very much. Even they don't know why, but they are inexplicably close to Su Yi.

Su Yi said, "I'll go buy a rabbit later and let's have a few drinks."

"Hey! That's good!" Old Man Zhang said, "Old Lin, I'll box with you after I send Diandian to school."

Yesterday, the neighbors saw Old Lin boxing in the yard, and they became interested. They regarded Su Yi's boxing technique as a square dance. Of course, Su Yi would not let others learn it.

They are all old people who are half-broken into the grave. It would be good for them to learn and live a few more years.

Diandian is wearing a thick pink cotton-padded coat today, and a lot of clothes underneath. It is as bloated as a little penguin.

Her eyes flickered, and when she heard Su Yi talking, she hid half of her head in Old Zhang's lap, while the other half was exposed, and she secretly looked at Su Yi with one eye.

When Su Yi came back these days and saw Diandian, he found that the child always looked at him secretly, but did not dare to come over. He always said nothing and smiled slightly at Diandian.

This time was no exception. When Su Yi smiled at her, the little girl made a face at Su Yi, stuck out her pink tongue, and then hid half of her little face.

Su Yi smiled, and after Old Lin and the others left, he walked slowly to the nearby vegetable market alone.

His life is very leisurely, except sometimes he is used to bossing around people, buying groceries by himself, and bargaining with vendors, which he also enjoys.

Because I don't know much about prices, Su Yi bought groceries this time with some old ladies picking up ready-made groceries.

The old ladies were haggling with the hawkers, and Su Yi was standing next to them. Waiting for her to finish bargaining, he would buy some at the same price. In this case, the vegetables he bought would naturally be cheaper, and the hawker would not have the chance to see him shouting at random prices when he was young.
