rebirth of cataclysm

After getting off to a good start, Hu Mingchen would arrive as scheduled every morning, rain or shine, as long as he was in Duge Township and there were no special events delaying him.

Song Qiaoshan not only corrected Hu Mingchen's exercise routine the next day, he also gave Hu Mingchen a new request, which was to take off his shoes and run by the river where the water could reach his knees.

The suitable section is nearly 100 meters long. After Hu Mingchen arrives here every morning, he has to run ten times back and forth in the water.

It is not difficult to run in the water. Anyway, the river water is only up to the knees, and the climate in Duge Township is hot, so Hu Mingchen will not feel cold in the water.

However, Hu Mingchen suffered a lot from the E-Nuan stones under the water. The uneven E-Nuan stones caused Hu Mingchen unbearable pain on the soles of his feet. The problem was that his feet had to be in the water, and he couldn't see clearly which areas were flat and which were concave and convex.

Sometimes when he steps down, Hu Mingchen will jump up.

Song Qiaoshan didn't allow him to explore slowly like wading in water, so Hu Mingchen had to start running.

Why is this? In Song Qiaoshan’s words, this is to stimulate the reflex zones in various parts of the body, smooth blood circulation, eliminate waste and toxins accumulated in the body, thereby speeding up metabolism and ultimately regulating various body functions.

.Furthermore, when running in water, the resistance increases. After adapting to this environment, the flexibility and strength of the legs on land will be improved and strengthened accordingly.

One thing Song Qiaoshan didn't say, or he didn't know, is that water is cold, and exercise will increase the temperature of the body. This way of successive stimulation and influence of heat and cold will cause the body to have a

With wonderful balance changes, immunity will not only be greatly improved, but muscles and bones will also become stronger.

In the past few days, when he was not used to it, the soles of Hu Mingchen's feet were either cut by stones or blistered.

Even so, Hu Mingchen neither complained about hardship nor tiredness, gritting his teeth and persevering every day.

Song Qiaoshan was satisfied and admired for Hu Mingchen's resilience. He has to endure hardships to become a great man. If he can't endure such small hardships, what kind of achievement is there?

...

On Sunday, Hu Mingchen went to the market to pick up the goods and put them away. Before he came home, he noticed that the atmosphere was different. There were many people talking in the house.

Hu Mingchen had a premonition of something, and quickly rushed into the house. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his father Hu Jianjun lying on a chair, with a quilt spread under his body. In front of Hu Jianjun, his grandmother Zhong Ying sat around

, third uncle Hu Jianqiang, eldest father Hu Jianye, mother Jiang Yucai, eldest brother Hu Mingyi, sister-in-law Long Cui'e and others.

"Dad, Mom, you are back." Hu Mingchen shouted excitedly.

After his rebirth, Hu Mingchen saw his father Hu Jianjun for the first time.

"Why are you back so late?" Hu Jianjun glanced at Hu Mingchen and asked.

"I...Where are my sister and Xiaojiao? Why didn't I see them at home?" In front of so many people, Hu Mingchen couldn't explain what he did, so he could only change the topic.

"I asked them to go pick vegetables in my field. You don't have any vegetables at home. What are you going to cook for later?" Zhong Ying said with a serious face.

"Oh, then I will run to the street to buy some food and come back." Hu Mingchen responded immediately.

Hu Jianye and Jiang Yucai were not at home, and Hu Mingchen and his three sisters usually lived a very simple life. But today so many people came to visit Hu Jianye, so we should cook some food to entertain them.

In this place, when people come to visit a patient, they don't always come empty-handed. They always give some money or something as a token of appreciation.

Hu Mingchen saw some eggs and two pieces of bacon in a basket placed in the corner of the wall.

"There's no need to go. At home... you can just scrape together some and eat. It's too far to go back and forth to the street now. I'm afraid there aren't any vegetables sold on the street now." Jiang Yucai stood up and said to Hu Mingchen

Block the way.

Maybe Jiang Yucai felt that Hu Mingchen was so young that running back and forth on the street would be more difficult now. But to be honest, these words should not have come out of her mouth. It would seem inappropriate and would cause others to misunderstand.

Although the people sitting at Hu Mingchen's house were all close relatives and neighbors, etiquette was still required.

If something like this is to be said, it should be appropriate for someone else to say it.

"It's okay, it's not too far. I ran there and came back, it's almost an hour." Hu Mingchen said with a smile on his face.

"This kid, tell you..." Jiang Yucai wanted to say something more to stop Hu Mingchen, but was interrupted by Hu Jianjun.

"If he wants to go, just let him go. With so many people, he should buy some food, really."

"I think there are eggs from Hu Mingyi's family and bacon from my mother. My eldest brother just brought some radish and tofu. Now we have food. There is no need to run out to the street." Jiang Yucai was embarrassed.

argued.

"What do you want me to say about you, cough, cough, cough." Hu Jianjun got excited and started coughing. Jiang Yucai quickly went to help him.

"Second uncle, in fact, we all belong to ourselves, and we don't need any hospitality at all. You just came back from other provinces, so there is no need to cause such trouble." Long Cui'e advised from the side.

"I think so. It's better to go early. Don't go. Some people don't know today. I'm afraid there will be more people coming tomorrow. People from Sanjiazhai, Jiangjiazhai, and Qingshui River are expected to come tomorrow. Your family should prepare for tomorrow.

Let’s cook.” Zhong Ying followed.

Among these people, Zhong Ying has the highest seniority. She said so, so Hu Mingchen really doesn't have to run away.

With the help of Long Cui'e and Zhong Ying, Jiang Yucai cooked a simple meal for everyone.

After the meal, everyone considered that Hu Jianjun was not in good health, so they chatted casually for a while and then went back to their homes. At this time, Hu Mingchen's family could talk about their own affairs in peace.

"Xiaochen, your third uncle said you made money from your business? And our pig was sold to your second wife's family for 400 yuan?" Hu Jianjun asked while sitting on a chair.

Hu Jianjun's voice was a bit deep, which showed that his body was still relatively weak.

"You prodigal sons, who made it easy for you to sell our pigs? That pig can be sold for more than a thousand if you feed it until the Chinese New Year. You are so brave." Before Hu Mingchen could answer, Jiang Yucai criticized.

"It was Xiaochen who suggested buying it." Seeing that the momentum was not right, Hu Yujiao hurriedly cleared the relationship.

"I suggested selling it. Then it would cost money to ask Uncle San to pick you up. I don't know if you still have money if I haven't brought you a letter for so long. If you want to feed it, just buy another similar one and feed it back.

That's it." Hu Mingchen pouted and explained that he didn't feel that what he did was wrong at all.

"It looks like you can do it. I'm here, why don't you ask your third uncle to go? This time, it's all money." Jiang Yucai was still a little unwilling.

"Okay, we've already sold it, what else can we do? Fortunately, we didn't make much of a loss at that price." Hu Jianjun waved his hand.

"It was Xiaochen who insisted on selling it for 400 yuan. At first, my second uncle only offered 250 yuan, and later he only increased it to 320 yuan. I wonder if grandma said something, so they agreed to 400 yuan.

But I didn't get the 80 yuan, which was offset against my account, and Xiaochen even wrote a special note." At this time, Hu Yandie stood up and explained.

"Two hundred and fifty, thanks to his family's ability to talk things out, your second mistress and your second uncle don't have any good intentions." Jiang Yucai became angry when he heard the price of two hundred and fifty.

Hu Jianjun remained silent without saying a word. What could he say when his sister and brother-in-law treated his children like this? He could only feel chilled and sad.

"Fortunately, the final price is not too bad, let's get over it." Hu Mingchen said casually, not wanting his parents to feel too uncomfortable.

"Well, what's going on with your business? I heard that you used the sacred tree in our field to blackmail others? Do you know that if you do this, how will our family raise its head in the future? What will others do behind our back?

About us?" Hu Jianjun brought the topic back to Hu Mingchen's business matters.

"Then I have nothing to do. Will borrowing money everywhere give me a good reputation? I want to do business, and I have no capital, so I can only do that. Besides, because of that sacred tree, our land has been dry all year round.

Fa Zhong, they should pay some money to compensate, what's wrong?" Hu Mingchen was not afraid because of Hu Jianjun's bad tone.

This matter will have to be faced sooner or later. Besides, Hu Mingchen only did that once, so the impact is not very bad.

After Luo Yong's family came to worship the sacred tree, there were other families who came, and they never encountered any problem of collecting money. Therefore, even though Luo Yong told many people that Hu Mingchen's family was disgusting, it did not arouse much resonance, and even some people

Do not believe.

After all, no one else has encountered the situation of being blocked from going to the ground.

"Our family is relatively poor, but we can't do things that would make others poke their spines. How many times have you done this?" Hu Jianjun raised his hand and patted the table next to him.

Maybe he touched the affected part of his finger and the pain made him grin.

Is this really pedantic? Can such a small thing go so far as to poke someone in the spine? You have to be kind, but you can’t be too honest, right?

"Dad, our family is not poor, but very poor. Look at what my sister, I and Xiaojiao are wearing. You are looking at our house. I am afraid that it will collapse if there is a heavy rain. This house

, how many of the home furnishings are new? Also, our family owes money to almost everyone around us. Do you want fame? Of course you do, but you can't go hungry to gain fame. I only did that once.

, I won’t do that even if I have other options, I’m really desperate. Just now I heard you say that your health is not fully healed yet, and you still need to go to the hospital frequently. What should you do? Are you going to borrow money from door to door again?

The problem is that the old debt has not been paid, and this new debt..." As he spoke, Hu Mingchen couldn't continue.

Hu Mingchen did not want to criticize his father, but he felt that in order for the family to improve, his father also needed new thinking.
