Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

After all, wrestling training is too tough, and many people simply don't have the perseverance and willpower to stick with it.

Then it introduced the basic training methods, which are nothing more than building strength and practicing horse stance. Only by practicing diligently can one have the foundation to learn wrestling.

He Yuzhu said, "Don't worry, I won't let you down, and I'll definitely achieve good results."

"Okay, then show me your horse stance, which should be as long as an incense stick can burn."

"okay."

He Yuzhu stood in the corner with his feet turned out at an angle of about 15 degrees, the same width as his shoulders, and then squatted down slightly.

Look straight ahead, with your body upright, back straight, chest slightly concave, elbows slightly drooping, shoulders relaxed, and breath sinking to the dantian. Hold your hands in front of your chest with palms facing inwards and fingers pointing towards each other.

This was just the first step. When He Yuzhu squatted down, he was a little uncomfortable at first, but after making some adjustments, he quickly mastered the technique and was able to perform the standard posture.

Tian Zao was quite surprised, as it usually takes most people several days to learn this step and truly achieve the standard posture.

After all, many times the brain learns how to position things, but the body can't achieve the standard, clearly indicating a stage where one's aspirations exceed one's abilities.

Step 2: Turn your toes forward to generate a twisting force.

Step 3: Shift your center of gravity downwards and gradually squat down. This is to gain downward force, which is the force of your body's gravity. To overcome this gravity, place your center of gravity on the Yongquan point (Kidney 2) and in the center of your body. This way, your knees and ankles gain an upward force to keep yourself from sitting on the ground. This is the second force.

Once you can feel the power of the springy leg jump and the weight drop, you've got it.

Step 4: Open your legs wide, until your feet are about the width of a triangle. This creates another force, an outward force. To overcome this force, your calf and thigh muscles start to work, generating a counterforce and achieving balance. Once you understand this, you can perform the opposing side kick, split kick, and hook kick.

Step 5: Hold your hands together in a flat position with palms down. At this point, the four-square stance of external martial arts is in place.

Through the practice of embracing, the hands have developed a taut strength, capable of both inward protection and outward pushing.

Once you grasp this force, straight punches, flip punches, hook punches, and uppercuts become effortless.

If you only experience the first two forces, then it's called Hunyuan Zhuang, which is the foundation of the foundation.

The Four-Level Horse Stance is the highest stage of horse stance training. It involves four main forces throughout the body. Once you reach this stage, you gain the ability to generate power for almost all martial arts movements.

Practicing the horse stance doesn't require a long time, but rather the ability to feel these four pairs of forces.

With the system's help, He Yuzhu quickly mastered the Four-Level Stance and experienced the four pairs of forces. Then, every minute, the system would send a message reminding He Yuzhu to gain some wrestling experience.

Tian Zao's voice grew softer and softer, but the shock in his heart grew stronger and stronger. He had been practicing horse stance since he was a child, for more than ten years, but he still hadn't mastered the "four-level horse stance".

He has only learned how to perform the Hunyuan stance, and none of his fellow apprentices and nephews at the wrestling factory have been able to successfully perform the Sipingma stance so far.

Only Tie Dan could perfectly execute the Sipingma technique. Back when Tie Dan was learning his craft, it took him one or two months of practice before he could even get the basics down.

They were all called wrestling and martial arts geniuses by their fathers.

It was unbelievable that He Yuzhu could successfully play the Sipingma style after listening to my explanation.

Did He Yuzhu have some prior connections and come here to flatter me?

"Comrade He Yuzhu, do you think it's fun to coax me?"

He Yuzhu was immersed in understanding the four pairs of forces when he heard this and was very surprised. He asked, "Sister Tianzao, I'm not kidding you!"

"You're still lying to me at this point? You must have learned how to do horse stance before, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do a proper horse stance."

"Sis, I really haven't learned it. I'm just a chef's apprentice, spending all my time in the kitchen. How could I possibly have time to learn this? Besides, if I really had learned it, I would definitely tell you. Why would I lie to you? There's no benefit in it."

Looking into He Yuzhu's sincere eyes, Tian Zao was a little confused: "You really haven't studied it?"

"Really do not have."

"Alright, I'll trust you this once. Come find me when you can hold four horses for half an hour."

Tian Zao made a condition and then sent He Yuzhu to work.

If you want to master the Siping stool in half an hour, it will take a long time to practice. I should ask He Yuzhu if he has studied wrestling or martial arts, so as not to be fooled by him.

He Yuzhu didn't think much of it, and was immersed in the joy of his newly acquired skill. According to Tian Zao, learning the Siping Horse stance would make practicing martial arts much easier.

Upon arriving at the kitchen, He Yuzhu lowered the height of the cutting board, then directed Xu Huizhen to bring all the vegetables over. He bent over, squatted down, and began chopping vegetables with both hands.

Sure enough, a minute later, the system notified me that I had gained some wrestling experience points, and a little while later it also notified me that I had gained some knife skills experience points.

Just as I had imagined, squatting in a horse stance and chopping vegetables can be combined.

Xu Huizhen couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "What's gotten into you? Why are you chopping vegetables in a horse stance?"

He Yuzhu glanced at his hands and continued what he was doing: "You're the one who's being provoked. I'm practicing martial arts."

"You? You know martial arts?"

"What's it to you? I'm your master."

Only after saying that did He Yuzhu realize what was going on and asked, "Why don't you call me Brother Zhu anymore?"

"I won't call you that," Xu Huizhen said shyly.

“You can call me Master then,” He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Pah, dream on."

Although Xu Huizhen said that, after a while she still called him Brother Zhuzi rather awkwardly.

As Yi Zhonghai finished get off work in the evening and entered the front yard, he ran into the goalkeeper Yan Bugui and said, "Old Yan, watering the flowers?"

Yan Bugui turned around and said with a smile, "Old Yi... oh no, I mean, is it Uncle Yi who's off work?"

Yan Bugui had previously wanted to compete for a position as a senior member of the management team, but reality left him helpless. Old Yi was successfully selected, while he himself remained an ordinary citizen.

He used to call him Lao Yi, but now he's called "Grandpa." Of course, this isn't an insult; it refers to his son's grandfather, and it's a way of showing respect to others in the past.

"Yes, there's something I want to ask you about." Yi Zhonghai readily accepted Old Yi's respect.

"Just tell me what's on your mind, and I'll tell you everything I know."

Yi Zhonghai asked, "Sha Zhu went to school with you before, wasn't Tian Zao from your school?"

"You mean that girl Tian Zao? She's never been to school and can't read at all."

Chapter 67 You want the money that's in my hands back? No way!

Yi Zhonghai was immediately shocked: "You said Tian Zao never went to school, so there's no way Sha Zhu could have known her when he was in school?"

Yan Bugui said directly, "Of course, Tian Zao usually hangs out in the Sanhai area and rarely comes to Nanluoguxiang. The two of them probably don't know each other."

Yi Zhonghai now truly felt that he had been deceived. At the time, seeing Tian Zao and Sha Zhu chatting and laughing, he believed Sha Zhu's words.

I thought the two of them had known each other for many years.

To curry favor with Lao Yi, Yan Bugui added, "Besides, just a few days ago, Sha Zhu told me that it was Tian Zao, whom I had just met."

Yi Zhonghai felt a sudden darkness before his eyes. He had spent his days hunting geese, only to have his eyes pecked by one, and had been swindled out of a hundred yuan by Sha Zhu.

"What's wrong, Lao Yi?" Yan Bugui quickly reached out and helped the swaying Yi Zhonghai sit down on the steps.

"Nothing, it's nothing, I was just feeling a bit suffocated." Yi Zhonghai shook his hand, panting heavily, before he finally calmed down.

"Is it really okay?"

"I'm fine now." Yi Zhonghai was just momentarily overcome by anger, and he felt much better after calming down.

"That's good." Yan Bugui was also startled. If she had fainted in front of him, he wouldn't have been able to explain himself, and he might have had to pay her a sum of money.

Yi Zhonghai asked, "On what day did they meet?"

Yan Bugui thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be when Miss Tian Zao came over to announce that she wanted to elect the head of the management department."

"Yes, that was the day I asked him, and he said we had just met on the street."

Yi Zhonghai was furious. This was solid evidence. Jia Dongxu and Yan Bugui could both testify that Sha Zhu didn't know Tian Zao before.

Only then did he realize, to his own foolishness, that Sha Zhu hadn't done anything at all in the matter of electing the old man from the management office.

He tricked me out of 100 yuan, which was almost two months' salary.

If Sha Zhu contributed his efforts in the middle, the money wasn't wasted, and it's still acceptable.

But now that I think about it, I realize that after all these years of hard work, I have enough prestige in the courtyard. Even if I didn't spend that 100 yuan, people would still choose me.

Since the two of them had just met, Sha Zhu didn't have enough ability to spout nonsense in front of Tian Zao.

How could I have been so foolish as to believe Sha Zhu and readily give him 100 yuan?

Yan Bugui looked at Yi Zhonghai leaving with great curiosity.

Yi Zhonghai, who had just entered the hospital, was in high spirits and very arrogant. But after chatting with Shazhu for a while, he suddenly became dispirited, as if he had lost a lot of money.

He Yuzhu is very happy today. He has learned the basics of wrestling and can also practice the Sipingma stance at work.

Although it wasn't too tiring, it was still my first time practicing horse stance. By the time I was about to leave work in the evening, I had finally accumulated 100 experience points, and my wrestling level had increased to level two.

After taking He Yushui home and washing up, he lay down on his bed.

The door was pushed open, and Yi Zhonghai walked in from outside.

He Yuzhu said angrily, "Oh my, Lao Yi is something else. He really doesn't act like an outsider. He just pushes the door open and comes in like he's in his own home. Even He Yushui, who is so young, knows to knock before entering someone else's house."

Stop spouting nonsense.

Yi Zhonghai approached the bedside with a gloomy face.

He Yuzhu sneered, "What's wrong? You lost money on the way, but you can't take it out on me."
