My girlfriend is from 1949

next day

Knock knock knock~!

"You brat, what time is it? Get up already!"

Xu Dongyang was holding a rattan cane and pounding on the door with his fists.

According to the established training schedule, it's time to get up and do morning exercises.

In order to improve his endurance through running, he even dug a circle around the flower bed against the wall of the villa and deliberately extended it outwards.

A 300-meter-long walkway was built, allowing people to exercise and jog in their villas without leaving home.

After all, Shanghai is not a peaceful place right now.

There are spies lurking everywhere; it would be too conspicuous to run outside.

After all, although we are now liberated, people have long struggled to make a living and have worked themselves to the bone just to have enough to eat.

After getting home, I just want to lie down and rest, and eat as little as possible without expending too much energy.

If I run again, won't I just consume more food?

Those who can afford to eat their fill and still have the leisure to exercise are either rich or noble, making it difficult for them to go unnoticed.

Running on the street in this day and age is a completely different concept from seeing runners in the future.

So they expanded the villa and built a running track.

At that time, land prices in Shanghai were extremely high compared to other cities, but the population was far less than in later years, so expanding a villa was not a difficult task.

Although there was suspicion of seeking special treatment, Chen Huai'an was a friend, and an extremely important person who made great contributions to the country.

It's only natural to expand the villa to provide him with a comfortable and safe environment.

Even those capitalists who make money can live in big villas, so why can't he?

"Ah~!"

Chen Huai'an opened the door, let out a long yawn, and looked like he hadn't woken up yet.

I got back from the base in the early hours of the morning last night.

In other words, I only slept for five hours before getting up.

For a modern person, it definitely means they're not fully awake.

Xu Dongyang looked at his apprentice's exhausted appearance, and a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes.

Although three nights ago, my apprentice specifically came to report that he would be going on a business trip for three days.

During this time, he didn't ask a single unnecessary question.

Every day I just write, or practice boxing in the garden and drink tea.

Just like an ordinary retired old man.

However, as the saying goes, old people are wise and experienced. How could this old man, who has lived since the Qing Dynasty, not see through the interests involved?

Chen Huai'an, a young man, is able to live in such a large villa.

The entire villa was protected by a platoon of fully armed soldiers.

On several occasions, a low, rumbling sound was heard coming from the rooftop, and an object flew out.

In order to ensure that Chen Huai'an could protect himself, he specially arranged for himself to take a transport plane and fly over from Beiping.

It's important to understand that in this day and age, being able to travel by plane is not something that ordinary officials are qualified for.

In addition to having a certain rank, one must also have a mission to complete before being eligible to board a transport plane.

All of this was simply to teach a young man martial arts.

Such stringent protection demonstrates its importance.

The missions they undertake when they go out are inevitably top secret.

Xu Dongyang saw things clearly and focused solely on teaching his successor, ignoring everything else.

So he already knew when Chen Huai'an came back last night.

However, in order not to disturb his work, I did not come out.

Seeing his apprentice looking tired and sleepy, a pang of heartache flashed in his old eyes.

Although I really wanted my apprentice to rest more, learning martial arts is something that requires hard work and perseverance.

If you slack off because you're tired, you should stop practicing this martial art as soon as possible.

Although Xu Dongyang felt sorry for his apprentice, he also understood a principle.

Only those with higher skills have a greater chance of survival when carrying out missions.

Sweating more in peacetime means bleeding less in wartime.

Even though it hurts, I can only grit my teeth and be a strict teacher!

However, the raised vine was not used to strike, but was slowly retracted.

He angrily scolded, "Hmph~, if this were when your master was learning martial arts, your grandmaster's cane would have been lashing him down long ago! Hurry up and get dressed and come to the garden!"

After saying that, he glared angrily, then turned and walked towards the garden.

The order has been given; now it's time to test the apprentice's will.

If they don't come after ten minutes in the garden, he'll really grab the vine and beat them severely!

"Okay, sure!"

Chen Huai'an rubbed his eyes and immediately began to change his clothes.

Although he wasn't fully awake, he immediately patted his face, changed his clothes, and came out.

Having decided to practice martial arts, I was prepared to endure hardship.

When a pair of shorts and a tracksuit appeared, paired with sneakers, Xu Dongyang couldn't help but take a second look.

He thought to himself, "Is my apprentice out of money?"

Wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, he looked nothing like someone practicing martial arts; he looked more like a dockworker.

However, the black and white sneakers on his feet looked to be of excellent quality.

He had lived his whole life and this was the first time he had ever seen such "thick" shoes.

Unlike thin and lightweight cloth shoes, won't they feel heavy on your feet?

Judging from the look of them, the shoes looked very thick and heavy.

What they didn't know was that the athletic shoes used synthetic leather, engineered mesh, VA/PU midsole, and abrasion-resistant rubber outsole.

It includes technological components such as air cushions and carbon plates.

Most importantly, the athletic shoes have professional shock absorption, arch support, anti-slip grip and ankle protection functions, and can absorb 3-5 times the body weight's impact force.

Unlike cloth shoes, which have only rubber or thin plastic soles and a relatively simple structure.

Moreover, because of the material, it is very lightweight and not heavy at all.

Xu Dongyang wondered if he should go out for a stroll in the afternoon and buy his apprentice two new pairs of cloth shoes.

He said sternly, "Run first, then do horse stance!"

After saying that, he waved the rattan cane and chased the person away as if he were driving them away.

Chen Huai'an hurriedly dodged the vines and began running around the garden.

I ran a full five kilometers, and the whole process took 18 minutes.

If it were regular running, this speed would be just average.

But at this moment, his hands and feet were carrying a combined weight of 40 kilograms.

Being able to finish the run in 18 minutes is considered excellent, even by the standards of special forces soldiers who are required to carry heavy loads for 20-23 minutes in actual combat.

This also benefits time travel, allowing the body to be strengthened.

With professional training, their skills in all aspects can be greatly improved.

After finishing his run, Chen Huai'an immediately squatted in a horse stance for 30 minutes.

Next, I practiced stretching my body and learned some fighting techniques.

What Xu Dongyang is currently teaching him are all techniques used in actual combat.

First, you need to develop the ability to protect yourself, and then you can gradually learn his signature martial arts skills.

After the morning training session ended, Aunt Zhang had prepared breakfast.

There was congee with pickled vegetables, meat buns, and tea eggs—a very generous spread.

The organization had offered to cover the meals, but Chen Huai'an insisted on paying for them himself.

Avoid certain future lifestyle habits that could increase the organization's financial burden.

Paying for my own meals makes me feel less guilty about eating them.

Just as they were eating, a young figure rushed in.

He quickly said, "I won't go to the police station today. Director Zheng has something urgent to attend to and will be waiting for you at the base!"
