Chapter 549

Lu Xiaoya said, "Grandpa Yu, you can practice this with peace of mind. Xinghui also taught my father, and my father practices it every day now, and his body is very good."

Elder Yu said, "Since you said yours is different from the popular Qigong outside, I can rest assured. Those Qigong masters blow too hard. Once someone brought a Qigong master to teach me Qigong, saying it could rejuvenate and live to be two hundred years old. You say this is not boasting? It doesn't conform to natural laws at all! We Communists should all be materialists and cannot believe these things!"

Only then did Su Xinghui understand why Elder Yu didn't agree to practice the Five Animal Exercises at the beginning. It turned out that he didn't believe in Qigong masters. It is estimated that at the beginning, he also regarded his Five Animal Exercises as the same thing as those popular Qigong.

Come to think of it, these Qigong masters are really good at fooling people. Many big figures have been fooled by these Qigong masters. Isn't that master who can perform snakes from empty basins and liquor from empty cups the one who started to become famous from the nineties? He later got to know many high-ranking officials, stars, and entrepreneurs, letting many big figures endorse him. Without some ability to fool people, it is really impossible to let so many elite figures be deceived.

Of course, many officials were deceived because they were mentally empty and had no firm belief, so they didn't believe in Marxism-Leninism but believed in ghosts and gods, and didn't ask the common people but asked the ghosts and gods. And materialists like Elder Yu who had firm beliefs would of course not be deceived.

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes, Elder Yu, Qigong should indeed exist, but it mainly plays a role in strengthening the body, plus some martial arts uses, but it is not as magical as those Qigong masters blow, turning it into special functions."

Elder Yu said, "Then fine, I will learn from you. Then tell me how many movements your Five Animal Exercises have? How long does it take to learn?"

Su Xinghui said, "My Five Animal Exercises have about a dozen movements. At your age, you can learn them all in about two or three days."

Elder Yu said, "I want to take a nap later. How about this, you come to my house tomorrow morning and teach me to practice."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "That would be the best. These Five Animal Exercises are most suitable for practicing in the morning."

Elder Yu nodded and said, "Fine, then thank you. I'm going to take a nap."

Elder Yu walked back to the room slowly. Yu Ruizhi said, "Xinghui, then let's go. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Fine, let's go."

The group left Elder Yu's house. Yu Ruoqiu said, "Xiaoya, then I will accompany you to see the Forbidden City this afternoon?"

Lu Xiaoya nodded and said, "Okay, I've wanted to go to the Forbidden City for a long time. Xinghui, you go too."

Yu Ruizhi said, "He won't go. I have an appointment with two buddies this afternoon, and we will sit together."

Yu Ruoqiu smiled and said, "Xiaoya, just the two of us will go, don't worry about them, let those stinky men go play by themselves."

Lu Xiaoya looked at Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui said, "Xiaoya, then you go play with Ruoqiu, I won't go. I'll go handle business with Brother Yu."

Only then did Lu Xiaoya nod and say, "Okay."

Yu Ruoqiu said, "Second brother, where are you and your buddies sitting?"

Yu Ruizhi said, "Haven't thought about it yet."

Yu Ruoqiu said, "Then you go to my private kitchen restaurant. I have good tea there, and you guys can eat there directly this afternoon, so you don't have to run around."

Yu Ruizhi nodded and said, "That would be great, let's go to your place."

Yu Ruoqiu drove to her private kitchen restaurant first. On the way, Yu Ruizhi made two phone calls and made an appointment with two people.

After Yu Ruoqiu dropped off Yu Ruizhi and Su Xinghui, she drove to the Forbidden City with Lu Xiaoya.

Yu Ruizhi and Su Xinghui entered the backyard of the private kitchen restaurant and sat down in that small room. Manager Wang brewed them a pot of high-quality green tea. Yu Ruizhi asked her to leave the water bottle here and then let her go out to get busy.

Yu Ruizhi said, "The two people I'm introducing to you today are my best buddies, childhood friends who grew up in the same big courtyard."

Hearing Yu Ruizhi say this, Su Xinghui understood that the two people Yu Ruizhi mentioned were mostly the same red third generation as him.

Su Xinghui said, "Then today is not Sunday, don't they have to go to work?"

Yu Ruizhi said, "What work do they do? They are all the same as me, doing some business by themselves. One has a name in the ministry, but never goes to work. It seems to be unpaid leave."

Su Xinghui nodded. This kind of thing didn't count for anything, just a name, and it was unpaid leave, so they didn't even receive a salary. If they really relied on the family's power and wanted to develop in the official career, they wouldn't do this.

However, many such red third generations really didn't like to develop in the official career. They couldn't stand the routine life in the government, and even if they had a name in the ministry, it was probably forced by the family.

Yu Ruizhi added, "My two buddies are well-connected in various ministries. They also have many buddies in the State Planning Commission. When you run the project, let them help too, it will definitely be no problem."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Yu."

Yu Ruizhi said, "I told you, don't be polite with me! If the Five Animal Exercises you teach my grandfather are useful, it should be our whole family thanking you!"

Yu Ruizhi's words came from the bottom of his heart. If the Five Animal Exercises Su Xinghui taught could really make Elder Yu's health improve, he would really become a great benefactor of the Yu family.

Although Su Xinghui just asked about Elder Yu's health and Yu Ruizhi said it was not bad, Elder Yu was over eighty years old, and in any case, he was going downhill. Recently, Elder Yu's energy was obviously not as good as it was a few years ago.

Meeting Su Xinghui today, Elder Yu went to rest for a long time in the morning, and took a nap after lunch. This was a manifestation of lack of energy. There had never been such a phenomenon before, which made Yu Ruizhi a bit worried.

How many red families were prosperous and prominent for a while when the old man was still alive, but after the old man passed away, the family immediately lost its past glory, and some even immediately suffered attacks from opponents and declined rapidly.

Although the Yu family's situation was good now, and there were two or three cadres at the deputy ministerial level or above in the family, and Gu Shanmin was a frontier official, people without long-term worries must have immediate worries. If Elder Yu passed away, it would definitely be a huge blow to the Yu family.

It can be said that as long as Elder Yu lives for a few more years, it is an omnipresent protection for the Yu family. During these few years, if Gu Shanmin or others can go further, the Yu family's glory can continue.

Whether from the perspective of family affection or the perspective of the family, the Yu family needs Elder Yu to live a few more years.

Su Xinghui said, "Brother Yu, don't be polite with me either. Elder Yu is a proletarian military strategist and revolutionary I admire, and it is what I should do to do something for him."

Yu Ruizhi and Su Xinghui looked at each other and laughed together.
