Chapter 196 Combination of Work and Rest
“I know, Teacher Mingli, you also need to practice your kung fu well, otherwise if you encounter someone who robs you, you won’t be able to beat them, and you won’t even be able to run away, hahaha…” Mingxiang also teased his second brother.
And so, chatting and laughing, the brothers settled all their troubles.
The youngest brother, Song Mingcheng, also laughed along. The days of practicing martial arts, studying, and bickering together became the most beautiful and heartwarming time for the brothers. Even years later, when they look back, they are still genuinely happy.
"Big brother, isn't Brother Nan coming back again this weekend?" Song Mingfu wanted to hear Nan teach him a few more tricks.
“She probably won’t be coming back. We should all be more sensible. My sister is about to take the high school entrance exam and she’s very busy. Don’t let her worry about us. Sigh, I’m worried for her.” Song Mingxiang remembered what Nan Ge had told him.
Song Mingli trusts his Nan-ge very much. Nan-ge is his role model. "I think Nan-ge shouldn't be nervous. She is usually so serious and her grades are always among the best."
"Never mind, Mingli, Mingfu, let's hurry up and finish our homework. Nan-ge can't come back, so we have to go to the small market this weekend to keep an eye on things for Auntie and make sure no one takes advantage of us."
"Don't worry, big brother! We're not to be trifled with. Look at my muscles." Song Mingfu was indeed quite strong now.
"Got it, brother!" Song Mingli's plan was incredibly shrewd.
Song Mingcheng's voice was trembling with tears, "Big brother, I can help watch the stall, but I really miss my sister!"
“We know, we want to too, but she’s busy. We don’t want to hold her back. Just be patient, she’ll come back after her exams, and she’ll take us out to play.”
“That’s right, Fourth Brother, look, I’m not crying.” Little Song Yali can now hang out with her four older brothers. She is the little princess of the Song family. With four older brothers and one older sister, she is the one who can do whatever she wants in Song Family Village.
Tingnan in the county town was busy, but not too stressed. Training for a thousand days is for one day; whether a horse or a donkey is a horse or a donkey, it always needs to be put to the test.
Ting Nan was quite confident in herself. Besides, Jiang Qianqian would call a teacher to tutor her every winter and summer vacation, so she still went to the martial arts school to teach students on weekends as usual, just to refresh her mind after studying.
And you know what? This balance between work and rest completely set Tingnan apart from her classmates who were studying every minute of every day, much to Tao Huahua's envy and jealousy. Tao Huahua was constantly yawning and could even fall asleep standing up, while Tingnan was full of energy, like she'd been injected with chicken blood.
Of course, there was one exception: Zhong Shengli. He knew his own limitations and didn't take his studies seriously, content with just graduating from junior high school.
While other students stopped going to the Children's Palace, he still went to the martial arts school to practice after school, never missing a class. That's right, Zhong Shengli was also a student at the Gao Family Martial Arts School, just not in Ting Nan's class.
"Junior Sister, do you know someone named Zhong Shengli?" a senior brother asked Ting Nan.
"Yes, I know him. What's up, Seventh Senior Brother?"
"He's in my class, and I've noticed he's always asking about you, especially lately—Master Qingling, what does that mean?"
"Huh? He's my classmate, and also at our martial arts gym? With me dressed like this, he shouldn't know who I am, right?"
"Junior Sister, I think he might know whether he likes you or not?"
"Huh!?" Ting Nan was shocked. "You like me? We're not even that close!"
"I don't know about that, but based on my observation, a man's intuition is probably right. You decide for yourself."
"Seventh Senior Brother, really? I don't know what to do!"
"Hahaha...Junior Sister, even you have your difficult moments?"
"Seventh Senior Brother, Senior Brother, please help me!"
"No, no, I can't help you. You should ask your senior sisters for advice. Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret!"
Hmph, I don't believe you. These senior brothers and sisters, after failing to challenge her time and time again, have become more and more fond of 'making things difficult' for her. They always get together to discuss setting up challenges for her, claiming it's to enrich her combat experience.
