Step by step, a gentle breeze leads to a smooth path

After becoming his apprentice, Gao Haoran began to develop a specific training plan for Ting Nan.

Song Tingnan is already eight years old. The Gao family children start learning martial arts at the age of 3, and they start building up their physical strength and flexibility between the ages of 4 and 6.

Fortunately, Ting Nan had been working since she was a child and had been traveling around selling goods, so her muscles and bones were fully developed and flexible.

But she is still young, and when she runs around outside, she will inevitably encounter provocations. She must first learn to protect herself.

In general sparring, attacks are made with hands and feet, including punches, swings, kicks to the shins, and rolls...

She's too small to get close to anyone, and an adult couldn't beat her. So she just needs to be agile, able to run, and fast.

Gao Haoran decided to prioritize flexibility training over strength training. Every day, Song Tingnan did leg presses, splits, kicks, and backbends, and followed his master's instructions without question.

A week later, running, kicking, and jumping all required wearing sandbags. When Tingnan was running errands, she deliberately didn't remove the sandbags.

Of course, coordination training was also included, with daily jump rope and high knee exercises.

Strength training only began after a long period of time, using exercises such as push-ups, squats, pull-ups, and frog jumps to increase physical strength.

She practiced these basic skills day after day, and could only watch her master's boxing techniques. She wasn't in a hurry; she felt her body getting lighter and lighter with each practice, and when she took off the sandbags, she felt even more agile.

When Gao Haoran was training Tingnan's eye technique, Tingnan gave him a big surprise with his movements such as shifting his gaze and staring. Tingnan said calmly, "I'm in business, so my eyes have to be in charge. I can't let anyone secretly take the goods, and some people deliberately pay less money. I have to save face for them, so I can only give them hints through eye contact."

"Hahaha..." This little guy, he's mastered the intimidating look in his eyes without any instruction.

It seems that any hardship and setback can provide an opportunity to improve oneself and bring unexpected surprises.

In addition, Tingnan was not a child raised in a pampered environment; she has very strong self-control.

She arrives early every day to exercise, and Gao Haoran doesn't need to urge her much. He just tells her a time, and she'll arrive even earlier and exercise for even longer.

As the ancients said, "When Heaven is about to entrust a great task to someone, it will first test his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body, leave him destitute, and thwart his actions, so as to strengthen his resolve and increase his abilities."

Song Tingnan is like a sponge, absorbing knowledge from all aspects, and never forgetting to make money.

She had her schedule perfectly in place. She set off early in the morning with her goods, practiced her skills with her master, and by the time she reached the county town, half of her goods had disappeared.

She was observant, and after arriving in the city, she would often encounter children being led by their parents, holding snacks in their hands and chewing on them.

Now that people have a little more money, even families in the countryside are willing to treat their children to a nice meal, but it's not easy to go to the city.

Song Tingnan acted as a "goods transfer station," benefiting both himself and others by earning a small profit from the price difference.

She would also wear some pretty hair clips and hair ties when she saw them, and they sold very well. Everyone loves beauty, after all.

Song Tingnan now has a group of loyal customers, as well as a group of gluttonous and beauty-loving followers: "Sister Tingnan, what delicious food are you bringing tomorrow?"

"Tingnan, that hair tie you wore last time was really pretty, bring some more."

"Listen, Sister Nan, if you see any rare toys in the city, bring some back with you!"

"That's right, sister, we've saved up our pocket money, it's all for you."

"You can't give them all to me, you have to save them for reading! Next time I'll bring you comic books, okay?"

"Okay, it has to be a martial arts story."

"Alright! My heroes, I'll definitely bring you some next time. Can you read?"

"Of course, if you don't know, ask my sister, she's in fourth grade."

"Okay!" Ting Nan felt a little dejected; she also wanted to go to school.
