"You don't have to worry about us, practice hard. But don't practice too late. You must win."

This is what Zhang Yongcheng said to Ip Man when he moved to the hospital for delivery.

Ip Man bears the important task of reputation in Chinese martial arts. As Ip Man's wife, Zhang Yongcheng showed an admirable national justice and spirit of sacrifice, but he did not lose his wife's care and tenderness towards her husband.

Zuo Xiaoyou was next to him at that time. Seeing this scene, I was really envious of Ye Wen. It is worth it for a man to have such a wife in this life.

"Master, don't worry!" Zuo Xiaoyou said: "You can train with peace of mind. I spent a lot of money to hire the best doctor and nurse in the hospital to take care of the master's wife. There will be no trouble."

"Ah You, please trouble you." Ip Man smiled.

"It should."

In the evening, Hong Zhennan's wife and girl ran to the hospital to visit Zhang Yongcheng. Zhang Yongcheng had just had dinner and was walking in the ward with the help of a nurse. Seeing the two girls coming, Zhang Yongcheng smiled: "Sister Hong, eldest sister, you are here!"

"Yongcheng, I've made chicken soup for you, and I'll drink it while it's hot." Hong Zhennan's wife took out a sealed casserole from the basket, opened the lid, and the aroma of chicken soup came to her nose. Although Zhang Yongcheng had just had supper, he was tempted by the fragrance and felt a little appetite.

"Thank you, Mrs. Hong." Zhang Yongcheng walked to the bed and sat down.

"How do you feel now?" Mrs. Hong put a bowl of hot chicken soup for Zhang Yongcheng: "Come on, drink it while it's hot."

"Yes." Zhang Yongcheng took two sips of chicken soup, and his mouth was full of fragrance, and his whole body was warm: "Sister Hong's chicken soup is so delicious, how do you cook it?"

"This is my exclusive secret recipe." Seeing that Zhang Yongcheng liked it, Mrs. Hong smiled happily and said, "I will teach you when you are discharged from the hospital."

"Thank you, Mrs. Hong." Zhang Yongcheng smiled slightly, turned his head to look at the girl, and asked, "Big girl, why didn't you be with A You today?"

"Brother Zuo is training with Uncle Ye, and he ignores me." The girl pouted.

Zhang Yongcheng chuckled: "Men always put big things first, and we women only need to support them behind our backs."

"But Brother Zuo doesn't think so." The girl said: "Brother Zuo said that women should also have their own sky and cannot always sacrifice themselves for men."

"Oh?" Zhang Yongcheng and Hong Sao were both surprised. Zhang Yongcheng asked, "What does Ah You really say?"

"Yeah." The girl nodded: "Brother Zuo said that the social atmosphere of Xiangjiang will become more and more open due to the influence of the international community. Moreover, Xiangjiang, as the intersection of China and Britain, will definitely make both countries keep a close eye on it. So in order not to let Xiangjiang be taken back by China, the British government will slowly implement development policies to make the people of Xiangjiang live a better life. Then, compared with the backward situation in the mainland, the people of Xiangjiang will no longer think about returning to the motherland."

Speaking of this, the girl said, "Brother Zuo said that there are not many Chinese with backbone, and most of them do not understand the national justice. As long as anyone can give them food, they will be willing to follow. So in the next few decades, Xiangjiang will get better and better."

"This..." Zhang Yongcheng and Hong Sao looked at each other.

The girl didn't care about the changes in their expressions, and still said in the mood: "Brother Zuo said that if the lives of Xiangjiang people are better and education are better, people's thinking will be more open and women will get more opportunities for work. Especially for girls like me who are educated, maybe they can become business managers or something in the future, which makes many men out of reach. Hehe."

Zhang Yongcheng and Hong Sao were greatly impacted. Although they received education from three to four virtues since childhood, they also knew that the girl was right. Although Xiangjiang is Chinese territory, under the control of the United Kingdom, foreigners come here to travel or settle down everywhere. In the future, the younger generation of Xiangjiang will receive Westernized education, and girls will also receive the opportunity to educate. With a lot of knowledge, there will be a chance to show up in the future. So... do women still need to rely on men to live?

"Big girl, don't say anything like this to others." Zhang Yongcheng said: "Although your younger generation of women have more opportunities, a family should still be dominated by men. We women only need to take care of children, cook, serve men well, and cook housework well. This is the male lead on the outside and the female lead on the inside. Do you understand?"

"Does Brother Zuo like such a woman?" The girl didn't respond, but just asked Zuo Xiaoyou's choice.

"A You may like women who can do things, but he will not marry such women." Zhang Yongcheng said: "Men are the same. They always hope that their wife is a virtuous and virtuous family woman. If the wife always runs outside, men will not be able to stand it sooner or later."

"Really?" the girl thought.

"Why don't you ask Ah You in person?" Zhang Yongcheng smiled and said, "You can pretend to ask him casually, what kind of girl do you like?"

"Yes!" The girl nodded happily: "I'll go and ask Brother Zuo when I look back."

Zhang Yongcheng and Hong Sao looked at each other and smiled.

The girl will sooner or later marry Zuo Xiaoyou. In their hearts, there has been this consensus.

The girl is an action-oriented person, and she does what she thinks of.

The next afternoon, the girl ran to Zuo Xiaoyou's house. At this time, Zuo Xiaoyou was simulating boxing skills and Ip Man's practice.

The so-called Western boxing is actually boxing. The boxing sport is nothing more than a boxing technique combining speed, strength, accuracy, and simple technology. In terms of skills alone, it is a thousand miles away from Chinese martial arts. However, boxing athletes focus on training in strength and fighting, so their attack power and defense are stronger than ordinary boxers.

This caused the Chinese boxer to be unable to knock down the boxer even if he punched ten times. If the boxer hits one punch, the Chinese boxer would fall down. This also corresponds to the saying: Boxing is afraid of being strong.

Therefore, as long as the strength of the fist and the strength of the body are sufficient, under the same conditions, the boxer will definitely be beaten by Chinese boxers.

This is what Zuo Xiaoyou is now. His fist strength and body hardness are similar to that of Ip Man, so after imitating the boxing style, he was beaten by Ip Man from beginning to end, making Zuo Xiaoyou miserable. After the girl entered the door, she saw this scene and couldn't help but burst out and giggle.

Seeing the girl coming, Ip Man stopped and laughed: "Big girl is here. Ah You, let's take a break!"

"Yes, Master." Zuo Xiaoyou sat down with a blue nose and a swollen face. The girl immediately came over with a towel and helped him wipe his face.

"I'll do it myself!" Zuo Xiaoyou raised his hand, but the girl hid for a moment: "I'll do it."

“…”

After the girl wiped her face and applied some slapped wine, Zuo Xiaoyou asked, "Why are you here?"

"Brother Zuo doesn't come to my house to find me, I can only come to find you." Although the girl was a little shy, she still said with courage.

"Haha..." Zuo Xiaoyou laughed dryly: "Isn't this going to prepare for the Sino-Western Boxing Competition? Isn't there any time?"

"I know, so I'm here." After smearing Zuo Xiaoyou's injuries, the girl said with distress: "Brother Zuo, you don't need to be trained! You can find other martial arts masters to help."

Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "Those masters don't understand Western boxing. I have been abroad for a few years and know the essence of Western boxing. No one is more suitable for sparring than me."

"Then you don't have to work so hard!" The girl sat next to Zuo Xiaoyou, took out a small cardboard box from her backpack, and said, "Brother Zuo, this is the crispy candy I bought from outside, it's so delicious, you can try it."

"Okay." Zuo Xiaoyou ate the candy bought by the girl, looked at the bright smile on the girl's face, and listened to the girl's pleasant words, but his mood was a little depressed.

After being together for so long, he had long regarded the girl as his little sister in his heart. If possible, it would be okay to develop into a husband-wife relationship in the future. But he knew that all this was impossible. Just wait for Ip Man to finish the boxing match, he would return to the real world. By then, he and the girl would never meet again.

He is not a scumbag and cannot do anything to ignore it. It is because of this that he gave up this unsuccessful relationship.

He didn't want to hurt her.

After eating the crispy candy, Zuo Xiaoyou poured two glasses of water and drank it in small sips with the girl. The girl held the glass of water in both hands and said, "Brother Zuo, I went to the hospital with my mother to visit Aunt Zhang last night."

"It's so late and I'm still here to visit you. Thank you for your hard work." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled.

The girl shook her head and said, "Then I complained to Aunt Zhang that she was about to have a baby, but Uncle Ye was practicing boxing. Then Aunt Zhang said that women should silently support them behind the men's back, and this is nothing."

"Oh?" Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the girl and asked, "How did you answer?"

"I told Aunt Zhang what Brother Zuo said." The girl said: "Women should also have their own sky and should not always rely on men."

Zuo Xiaoyou nodded: "What did the master's wife say?"

"She said men might like such women, but they would not marry such women." The girl asked nervously: "Brother Zuo, are you like this too? You don't want to marry those women with their own careers."

This question made Zuo Xiaoyou think for a moment, and at the same time asked his true heart, finally shook his head: "No."

"Although I also hope that my wife is a virtuous and virtuous family woman who can handle everything at home. When I get home for a busy day, I can eat a hot meal. But if my wife has her own career and cannot take care of her family, it doesn't matter, because I have hands and feet, and can also wash clothes and cook. I can do what my wife can't do. In a family, there must be someone who makes sacrifices, just to see if the balance between husband and wife can find."

Speaking of this, Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "Just like the master and his wife, the master's wife has to cook and do housework every day, take care of her husband and children, and is very tired. However, after the master taught the fist, he can gently massage the master's wife's back and shoulders, rub her legs and feet, and the husband and wife are in love, and the zither and zither are harmonious. Isn't this great!"

After listening to Zuo Xiaoyou's story, the girl's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Brother Zuo, don't you mind marrying a woman who doesn't do housework and can't take care of her husband and children?"

"If it is normal, of course I still want to marry a woman like my master's wife. But if I meet a career-oriented woman, as long as it is something I like at first sight and still like after getting along, I won't mind."

Speaking of this, Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the girl and smiled and said, "If you love someone, you are willing to give a lot of money. Big sister, remember that if you get married in the future, you must marry a man who loves you, instead of a man who you love him but he does not love you. Such a marriage will not be happy."

Not long after, the girl left thoughtfully, and Zuo Xiaoyou once again devoted himself to the intense training.

There are only three days left before the boxing match between Ip Man and the Tornado.
