Chapter Nineteenth: The Su Family Tea Talk

  In the following days, physical training continued. Running, push-ups, pull-ups, these were all routine. Unlike Su Qing and other team members who were used to being trained year-round, the instructor reduced the amount of tasks assigned. Su Qing's body wouldn't have any problems no matter how big the training volume was. But in order to appear normal, Su Qing occasionally pretended to be extremely tired and on the verge of collapse. Even so, Su Qing's performance still seemed quite abnormal in everyone's eyes.

  Guo Wenjiao was truly impressed with Su Qing these past few days. At first, she thought Su Qing wasn't like other girls who were so delicate and could endure some hardship. But deep down, she believed that such high-intensity physical training would be too much for someone as young as Su Qing who was participating for the first time, and that lasting two or three days would be impressive enough. These past few days, Su Qing often looked exhausted, and Guo Wenjiao thought this little girl had reached her limit, guessing she wouldn't show up tomorrow. But Su Qing appeared again on the training field the next day, and ten days passed like this, with Su Qing still not quitting the training. Su Qing's robust physical condition and unyielding personality completely conquered Guo Wenjiao.

  Guo Wenjiao still admired Su Qing so much, let alone the other boys. Some of them thought back to their first training session and compared it to Su Qing's, feeling ashamed and wanting to dig a hole in the ground. They saw how exhausted Su Qing was every day and felt heartbroken for her, but Su Qing herself never said a word about being tired. If this had happened to another girl, she would probably have cried and refused to continue.

  Some people muttered in their hearts, is it that the Su family's genes are good, and their physical quality is naturally better than others. Thinking back to when they first trained with Su Chen together, the instructor's training subjects were always completed the fastest and best by Su Chen. Nowadays, Su Qing's performance is even more fierce. The siblings of the Su family are really abnormal! However, the Su family seems to have exceptions too, Su Lisha heard that she was busy finding excuses to escape from Beijing during military training, returning to her parents' side, and didn't even show up for training once.

  In the big courtyard of the military district, several old men were drinking tea and chatting. These few are all considered big shots, and they don't usually have to worry about things that aren't worth their attention. At most, they would go to the grassroots units for inspections or pay attention during military performances.

  "Old Su, you've got another pot of beautiful flowers. Look at these tea flowers with petals as white as jade, so elegant." On the flower stand in the Su family living room was a pot of blooming white tea flowers in full splendor.

  "That was Su Chen who moved it from home, his grandfather had nothing to do and built a flower house to raise many flowers." Old Man Su admired the family's flower-raising skills, at least those sent here were rare treasures. No one noticed that it was Su Qing who often watered them as a kind act, but instead her grandfather took credit for being good at raising flowers.

  "You used to only raise orchids, now you think camellias are okay too." Old Man Ding, who likes raising camellias, couldn't help but say this when he saw someone who didn't care about raising camellias before had changed their mind.

  "Suchen's kid is also quite impressive, excelling in every aspect, I'm even a bit jealous." Old Man Zhou really has high hopes for Suchen, with some polishing, he'll definitely become a great talent.

  "Old Zhou, what are you jealous of? Your own Zhou Yang is also very good." Old Guo retorted, among all the kids in the whole courtyard, only Su Chen and Zhou Yang were top-notch, yet Old Zhou was still not satisfied.

  "In the future, these little guys can take care of each other, and it's estimated that they won't be much different. Old Man Ding thought that after all, it was a big yard, and in the future, with Su Chen and Zhou Yang helping out, if Ding Yu Xi worked hard, development wouldn't be bad either."

  "Now those little rabbits are still training under the sun, they will be very envious when they see us drinking tea and eating snacks." Old man Zhou thought of the children who were training in the scorching sun, a smile appeared on his face.

  "Xiao Ning said that the training was not bad, and Old Guo's granddaughter was indeed famous for nothing. She was no worse than a boy." This time, Ning Bin was chosen as the instructor by the old men. He wanted to let him train more girls, but he didn't want to take care of a group of spoiled misses in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud. In one day, all the girls were scared away, leaving only two female team members. Ning Bin's training as an instructor was always strict, and the soldiers trained by him were also top-notch.

  "Wen Jiao has practiced a lot and is already used to it. But that little girl Su Qing scared me, she's been persisting for ten days now and her performance in all aspects is not bad either. The Su family has a good granddaughter." Guo Lao knew his own granddaughter was great, but hearing his grandson mention Su Qing's performance made him truly shocked. Su Qing's physical quality is even better than Wen Jiao's when she was young.

  "Our family's little girl only trained for half a day and then claimed she was sick, lying in bed refusing to get up. As soon as she heard she didn't have to train anymore, she ran out to play the next day." Mr. Ding thought of his own granddaughter, who couldn't compare to Su Qing at all. But thinking about it, none of the girls in the big courtyard except for Su Qing persisted until the second day, so he wasn't as angry when he saw his own granddaughter. Thinking of Su Chen and Su Qing, he thought that Qing Yuan had indeed raised a good pair of children, and when he got back, his son should also properly discipline the kids.

  "Su Qing, this child has always been stubborn since she was a kid and never backs down. She also has a strong sense of not giving up. However, she doesn't listen to her elders much, which often makes me angry." Su Lao Ye thought about Su Qing's personality, she has always been independent and does what she wants, this was evident even when she was young. Unlike his other granddaughter who is obedient and listens to advice from her elders. Thinking back, not long ago, she didn't care about the consequences and beat someone up badly, fortunately, the other party wasn't from a powerful background, so the matter was quickly resolved. It's just that Su Qing has always been too self-willed and doesn't listen to his words, plus her mother doesn't have any status, he has always favored his other granddaughter Su Lisha. He also knows that Su Qing rarely comes to the military compound, he loves his granddaughters but somehow they have gradually drifted apart."

  "Kids have their own ideas, as long as they don't make a big mistake, let's just let go. Maybe encountering setbacks will be beneficial." Zhou Lao actually appreciated Su Qing's strong personality from a young age, and her methods were impressive when they were in Suzhou not long ago. That matter was unknown to others, but he understood it himself, hearing that Su Qing had knocked the person down with just a few moves. The injuries of the person who got beaten were severe and strange, even the hospital couldn't do anything about it. It seemed like she had practiced fighting skills. Su Qing's lovely appearance combined with her fierce methods was truly unusual.

  "Let's talk about something else. The tea at Su's house today is uniquely flavored and the pastries are exquisite." They're all used to drinking good tea, but today's tea has a distinct style.

  "This was also brought by Su Chen and the two of them when they came. The tea is made from the tender leaves of the Mongolian sun-dried in their own courtyard, and it tastes pretty good. Today, I brewed some for everyone to try, and according to Su Chen, the pastries were also made at home, if you like them, I'll give you some when you leave."

  "You have a good mouth, your children are also promising, and you will be even more blessed in the future." With two excellent sons, Su Chen is an impeccable successor, and Old Man Su is indeed relieved.

  Everyone, please vote for me! I, a humble girl, bow down to thank you all.
