Chapter 341 Humanoid Tank
After returning home, Suning just regarded this banquet as a greeting and regards from an old friend to his friend's son, and did not try to get too close to him in the following days.

Yes! It means clinging!
Suning realized that the gap between his status and theirs was too great, and their world no longer belonged to him. He still needed to suppress his inner feelings and stick to himself. Taking shortcuts blindly was definitely not what he wanted, and it might end up hurting himself.

Jiang Defu, who was far away on the island, received a call from Ningbo. Seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar number, Jiang Defu was stunned for a moment, "Hello, Lao Li? This is Jiang Defu!"

"Old Jiang, you are such a dishonest old man!" Li Zhicheng's cheerful voice came from the phone.

"Huh? How did I offend you again?" Jiang Defu was confused at this time.

"Jiang Defu, let me ask you, why didn't you tell me in advance that you arranged for your son to serve in the army next to me?"

"Huh? This matter!" Only then did Jiang Defu feel relieved, and then he explained to his old classmate on the phone with a wry smile, "Old Li, it's a question whether this child can stick to the whole term. Why should I bother you?"

"Haha, it seems you don't care enough about your son." Hearing that Jiang Defu thought Suning couldn't even last one round, he couldn't help but laugh, "Old Jiang, during our Ningbo competition a while ago, Changyi won first place in both skills and shooting!"

"Ah? I haven't heard him say that!"

"Haha, so this is your problem as a father." Li Zhicheng on the other end of the phone shook his head helplessly.

"Hey! Lao Li, you should know about the complicated situation in our family." We are all old classmates and are familiar with each other's family situations. "My son grew up in the countryside in my hometown and is not close to me at all.

If he hadn't really wanted to join the army this time, he might never have contacted me again."

"Hey! I know a little bit about the situation. Don't worry, I'm with the child!"

"Thank you, Lao Li!"

"Haha, Jiang Defu, you're pretending to be nice to me again." It was rare to see Jiang Defu being polite to him, and Li Zhicheng couldn't help laughing. "Why didn't I realize you were so well-educated and polite when we were in school?"

"Go to hell! Lao Li!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Defu felt his head buzzing when he thought of this adopted son. Maybe he himself would not take the initiative to get close to Suning.

Life in the army is very regular. Soldiers get up at six o'clock every day and go to bed at nine thirty in the evening. There is also a lunch break in between. There are only six days of training per week, which leaves soldiers with one day of rest.

Suning never slacks off and spares no effort during training. He never stops training until he is exhausted. Of course, the results are very gratifying, allowing him to always be at the forefront of the team, and far ahead.

Since the competition, Suning has often participated in various skill competitions, and has won brilliant results for the 302nd Regiment. His name has also been widely spread, and gradually everyone in the army knows about the existence of a strong soldier like Suning.

Every weekend, unlike other soldiers who preferred to go shopping in the city, Suning would go fishing at the beach. Sitting there leisurely, enjoying the breeze, listening to the waves crashing against the shore and the cries of seagulls, Suning would be mesmerized and, before he knew it, fall asleep.
Li Qianqian's life is also very regular. Because she is blind, she seldom goes out. Today, she suddenly had the urge to go to the beach to "listen to the sea".

After obtaining the consent of both parents, the driver first sent Li Qixi and nanny Xiaolin to the beach. Then, after the two got off the car, the driver waited quietly on the side, ready to protect the safety of Li Qixi and the other child at any time.

It is said that blind people have very sensitive hearing. Walking on the path by the sea, feeling the cool sea breeze and the various sounds around, Li Qianqian felt much better.

But as they walked, Li Qianqian, who had a sensitive hearing, noticed something unusual. Why was there a snoring sound coming from them? "Xiao Lin, did you hear that?"

"Ah? What did you hear?" Nanny Kobayashi looked a little confused.

"Huh? Xiaolin, didn't you hear such a loud snoring?"

"Snoring? No!" Xiao Lin really didn't hear anything, but she always knew that Li Qianqian had excellent hearing, so she immediately started looking around.

Soon she found a man lying on the beach not far away. He seemed to be holding a fishing rod and seemed to be fishing, but he had fallen asleep with a book covering his head. Xiaolin walked closer quietly and found that the book covering the man's head was "Dream of Red Mansions".

"Sissi, there was a man fishing over there, but he fell asleep there."

"Ah? He isn't worried that the fishing rod will be taken away by sea fish." Li Qianqian, who was blind, was immediately surprised after hearing Xiaolin's description.

"Yeah!" Xiao Lin also felt incredible. "What's even more bizarre is that he put a copy of 'Dream of the Red Chamber' on his head."

"Haha, this guy is so funny." Li Qianqian couldn't help laughing. "I think he's having a sweet reunion with Lin Daiyu in his dream."

"Pah!" Xiao Lin's face suddenly turned red, and he looked at Li Qianqian with a blushing face, "Qianqian, you are so dirty!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Li Qianqian laughed out loud, like a silver bell, and after a while she said to Xiaolin, "Xiaolin, take me away from here!

Don’t disturb other people’s sleep.”

"okay!"

As Xiao Lin helped Li Qianqian turn around and leave, he curiously checked the sleeping man's condition and found that he might have sensed that a fish was caught. He immediately stopped snoring, tore off the "Dream of Red Mansions" covering his face, and swung the fishing rod in his hand hard. A big sea fish broke out of the water and was caught.

"Ah?" Kobayashi, who witnessed the man's fishing process, opened his mouth slightly in surprise.

"Xiaolin, what's wrong?"

"Xixi, as soon as the man sensed he had caught a fish, he immediately woke up and even caught a large sea fish."

"Ah? Is it so magical?"

"Hmm? That's not right! I think I know that person." Kobayashi looked at the man carefully and suddenly felt surprised.

"Oh? Who is it?" Li Qianqian also became curious.

Xiao Lin carefully looked at the person in the distance, and soon covered his mouth in surprise, "Xixi, that person turned out to be that "Black Charcoal Head"."

"What? You mean Jiang Changyi?"

"Yes! That's him!"

"Haha, today must be the weekend. Their troops are on holiday!" "Yes! Today is the weekend." Hearing Li Qianqian's guess, Xiao Lin answered seriously, "But don't soldiers like to go to the city on their days off? What a weirdo!"

"Haha, yeah!" Li Qianqian also laughed and sighed, "What a weirdo!"

The reason why Li Qianqian was so emotional was that since her parents had hosted a banquet for Suning, Suning had never come to their house again. This surprised Li Qianqian and her family. After all, with Li Zhicheng's current status, many people were trying to curry favor with him.

Occasionally, I would hear from my parents about Suning's performance in the army. Either he won an award in some competition, or he participated in a military competition. Anyway, it seemed that Suning was always very busy.

"Honey, Changyi participated in this year's military competition. Not only did he win first place in skills and shooting, but he was also like a human tank in combat. He was incredibly powerful."

"Ah?" Li Zhicheng's wife was also surprised, "Isn't that even more powerful than Jiang Defu back then?
I remember back in the artillery school, you always complained about Jiang Defu's reckless behavior and how he knocked you down several times."

"Tsk! Jiang Defu is simply weak compared to his son." Thinking of how he used to be bullied by Jiang Defu on the basketball court, Li Zhicheng showed a disdainful expression.

Just then they saw their daughter Li Xixi coming back from outside, and they stood up and said, "Xixi, why are you back so soon?
I thought you guys would play a little longer!"

"Haha, I was planning to walk a little longer, but I ran into a guy sleeping on the beach, so I came back early."

"Ah? Who would sleep on the beach?" Li Zhicheng and his wife couldn't help but be surprised. "Is he a fool?"

"Haha." Hearing her parents' surprise, Li Qianqian burst into laughter. "Isn't he just an idiot?"

When Mr. and Mrs. Li Zhicheng saw their daughter laughing so hard, and then saw that Xiaolin also looked like she couldn't help laughing, they suddenly realized something.

"Sissi, is this idiot sleeping on the beach someone we know?"

"Haha, yes!" Li Qianqian nodded behind her sunglasses. "This idiot is my father's nephew Jiang Changyi."

"Huh? Why did he go to sleep there?"

"Haha, your army has so many rules. Today is the weekend, so of course I'd rather sleep comfortably by the sea." Li Qianqian shook her head helplessly, then smiled and expressed her thoughts, "Besides, you can also catch some fish."

"Humph! Changyi is just going to sleep." Li Zhicheng said angrily, "He can sleep all day and still not catch a single fish."

"Haha, Dad, don't underestimate him." Li Qianqian shook her head nonchalantly. "Xiao Lin saw with his own eyes that once he sensed a fish, he would immediately wake up, and then with a strong tug on the rod, he would hook a large sea fish."

"Humph! He just got lucky." Li Zhicheng was still angry with Suning.

At this time, the "lucky" Suning happened to return to his unit with his catch of the day, and handed the fish to the kitchen team to be used as a snack for the entire guard company.

On the island, as soon as Jiang Defu came back from work, he wanted to ask Su Ning if he had any letters, but he realized that An Jie would be disgusted with Su Ning, so he didn't ask.

"Yaning, have your brothers and the others written to you?"

"no!"

"Humph! Weiguo and Weidong are so ignorant. They didn't even write a letter home after such a long time."

"Hehe, I think some people don't necessarily want to read the letters from Weiguo and Weidong!" How could An Jie not understand Jiang Defu's psychology, and deliberately mocked him with sarcastic words.

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Defu was hit on the heartstrings and quickly retorted with a guilty conscience, "I don't care about Weiguo and Weidong, who else can I care about?"

"Humph! Don't tell me you don't want to know about Jiang Changyi."

"Why should I care what he does!"

Hearing the conversation between his father and mother, Jiang Yaning hurriedly said to Jiang Defu, "Dad, Hou Chengnan writes to his mother every month, and he often mentions my eldest brother in the letter."

"Oh? Chengnan is a very filial child."

"Haha, Hou Chengnan's mother often asks Yafei to help her read letters, and Hou Chengnan's handwriting is terrible." Thinking of Jiang Yafei's complaints, Jiang Yaning couldn't help laughing, "But I heard from Yafei that Hou Chengnan's handwriting has been getting better recently."

"Oh? Why is that?" It was An Jie who was curious, after all, Hou Chengnan was once her student.

"Haha, my eldest brother asked Hou Chengnan to copy ancient poems to practice his calligraphy in the army, and then asked Hou Chengnan to mail the copied poems to Hou Chengnan's mother. Slowly, Hou Chengnan's handwriting got better and better."

"Well! Your elder brother is quite smart." Jiang Defu couldn't help but smiled and nodded, but An Jie had a thoughtful expression and didn't say anything about Jiang Defu's evaluation.

Seeing that An Jie didn't say anything, Jiang Defu continued to look at Jiang Yaning, "Yaning, they should have been divided into companies now. Could it be that the two of them were assigned to the same company?"

"No! Although they are both in the 302nd Regiment, my brother is in the Guard Company, and Hou Chengnan is in the First Company."

"Oh! So that's how it is."

"Hou Chengnan also said that Big Brother now frequently participates in various competitions and wins big prizes every time. He even participated in the military competition a while ago."

"Oh?" Jiang Defu couldn't help laughing at this time, but when he looked at An Jie next to him, he immediately frowned again.

"Hmph!" Looking at Jiang Defu who looked guilty, An Jie felt really unhappy.

Now Jiang Yafei no longer hates Suning so much. After all, from Hou Chengnan's letters home, it is not difficult to see that Hou Chengnan and others admire Suning. As Suning's performance becomes more and more dazzling, the arrogant Jiang Yafei also admires him from the bottom of her heart.

After all, Jiang Yafei is the child of a military family. She is very clear about what goes on in the military, and she understands the significance of Suning's current good results.

Although Jiang Yafei still thought that Suning's appearance was a bit inexplicable, she had slowly begun to accept his existence in her heart and no longer rejected him as she did at the beginning.

There are many people on the island who are serving in the army in Ningbo like Hou Chengnan, so many people know all kinds of information about Suning, and are extremely envious of Jiang Defu.

A few days later, Jiang Defu saw the news in the military newspaper that Suning had won an award in the military competition. Especially when he heard the reporter describe Suning as a "human tank", Jiang Defu couldn't help feeling proud.
