"Comrade Tianguang, they are all elites of the army. They are the first special forces regiment in this military region. We have been unable to select a squad leader from this special forces unit before. After the brief exchange just now, I believe they are convinced of your abilities."

Xing Yuan appointed Tian Guang as the squad leader of this newly formed elite special forces unit.

The others immediately realized what was happening, and they all saluted Tian Guang and shouted, "Greetings, Squad Leader!"

Tian Guang glanced at them, feeling somewhat unwilling.

Let him manage people? He's not easy to manage; you can't see into someone's heart...

Before he could even speak, Su Tiantian clapped her hands excitedly: "Grandpa, you're amazing! You became class monitor so quickly. I really hope I can be class monitor when I go to school!"

Tian Guang was stunned. Is being a class monitor really that good?

The little girl admires him so much. If he said he wouldn't be class monitor, would she stop admiring him?

Tian Guang cleared his throat and said, "Let me make this clear first: I have very high standards for my subordinates. If you don't meet my requirements, then I won't take you under my wing!"

He'll just have to be the class monitor for now.

If you're unhappy with your position, you can just quit!

Xing Yuan then spoke seriously: "You all heard what Squad Leader Tian Guang said, right? Whoever fails to meet the requirements will be discharged from the special forces."

"Please rest assured, sir, we will never let you down!"

They stood ramrod straight, enduring the physical pain. Seriously? They'd already made it into the special forces selection process; if they were kicked out, where would they put their faces?

Even if it means death, you can't be kicked out halfway through!

Xing Yuan was satisfied.

Then, Tianguang took him to collect clothes and some daily necessities and settled him in the dormitory.

At noon, Tianguang and Su Tiantian ate at the military base.

After dinner, Tianguang escorted Su Tiantian home; he would soon be living at the military base.

On his way back, Tian Guang watched the military base gate close, his emotions a jumbled mess. He thought he'd probably been bewitched by Su Tiantian without even realizing it.

How did I end up being tricked and deceived into joining the army by this girl?

"Grandpa, I will come to see you every day from now on. You are so amazing, I can never get enough of seeing you."

Su Tiantian nestled in Tianguang's arms, her little hands clasped together, looking incredibly sweet.

Tian Guang smiled and said, suppressing a laugh, "You don't have to come every day. Didn't you want to play in the mud? Come on, Grandpa will take you."

Su Tiantian's eyes lit up when she heard about playing in the mud.

He immediately took Tianguang to find Wang Jiao.

"Sweetie, I miss you so much. I dream about you every night."

When Wang Jiao saw Su Tiantian, tears instantly streamed down her face.

Su Tiantian hasn't come to visit her in a long time; she has no friends left.

Several times when I went to the Su family's house, Grandma Liu said they weren't home.

Wang Jiao cried secretly several times, lost her appetite, and thought that her constant winning had caused her to lose Su Tiantian as a friend.

Because she simply didn't believe Su Tiantian had gone to another city; she saw it as a sign that the friends were breaking off their friendship.

"Really? I miss you too."

Seeing that Wang Jiao was crying, Su Tiantian suddenly felt a little guilty.

She hasn't thought much about Wang Jiao lately.

But Wang Jiao dreams of her.

"Jiaojiao, don't cry, let's go out and play."

Su Tiantian wiped away Wang Jiao's tears and took her small hand.

When Wang Jiao came out, she saw the old man, Tian Guang.

Wang Jiao immediately became alert. Just a few days ago, she had heard her mother say that an old man who had come to the village was a human trafficker.

"Jiaojiao, this is my grandpa. He's really good at playing with mud. Shall we have a mud-playing contest today?"

Su Tiantian immediately introduced herself to Wang Jiao, but in her heart she was thinking that if her grandfather won, it would be the same as if she won.

Wang Jiao smiled when she heard Su Tiantian say that: "Okay."

I can happily play in the mud again.

They went to find mud and used water and mud, and Tian Guang also came to help.

Tian Guang even smeared mud on his arms.

He also rolled the mud into a ball and quickly shaped it into a large wild boar.

Wang Jiao and Su Tiantian both exclaimed "Wow!" repeatedly.

Tian Guang had many ways of playing with mud, which captivated Su Tiantian and Wang Jiao, who stared at him intently.

After seeing more of the world, I realized how boring it was for them to just throw mud.

"Grandpa Tianguang, you are really amazing! Mud has so many benefits!"

After Tian Guang's explanation, Su Tiantian and Wang Jiao covered their exposed skin with mud.

I didn't know mud was so good for the skin.

Tian Guang smiled, as if he had returned to the time when he was still a little wild boar.

They played like this for an afternoon, and Su Tiantian and Wang Jiao were covered in mud from head to toe.

They rolled and crawled through the mud, threw mud, and splashed mud.

The sun was almost setting when Su Chengguo finally found them and called them home.

A lot of the mud has dried.

Su Chengguo's lips twitched, but he couldn't say the words he wanted to say; he wanted to cry.

"Second Uncle, it's such a waste that you don't play with mud. Mud has so many benefits."

Su Tiantian sighed.

Su Chengguo twitched her lips and looked up at the sky with tears in her eyes.

He looked at the sky and smiled again, saying, "Grandpa, are you feeling much better today? Let's go out to sea again tomorrow. Just put on some seasickness medicine and you'll be fine."

If we take this old man away, the two kids won't play so wildly.

I don't even want to think about how difficult it will be to wash this when I get back...

If you can't bear to suppress the younger generation, then you can only start with the older ones.

"I'm not going to sea tomorrow. I'm joining the army. Those elite special forces soldiers insist on making me a squad leader."

Tian Guang looked completely calm and composed.

Su Chengguo was overjoyed and shocked, and at the same time, her heart was filled with admiration.

"Grandpa, you said you joined the army, and you became a special forces platoon leader right away???"

No, is that right?

Su Chengguo almost screamed. The old man is so old! He became a squad leader as soon as he joined the army!

And this old man was a relative of theirs, Su Tiantian's recognized grandfather, which was practically his uncle, making Su Chengguo feel very honored.

The Su family must have some powerful connections.

He had a good relationship with Xing Yuan, but Xing Yuan didn't become his brother-in-law, so compared to Xing Yuan, Tian Guang's entry into the army was much more prestigious.

"Hmm, is this difficult?"

The light still seemed light and airy, but I was actually very happy inside.

For some reason, the Su family's reactions always made him feel satisfied.

He is becoming less and less opposed to becoming a squad leader and joining the army.

"Grandpa, you have no idea how difficult it is. You are my idol. When you wear your military uniform and when my sister comes back, let's take a family photo and frame it."

Su Chengguo looked at the sunlight with a beaming smile, her eyes practically sparkling.

Tian Guang nodded: "Okay."

A family photo is something only the whole family can take, and he felt happy thinking about it.

Back at the Su family home, Li Xue took Su Tiantian to take a bath, while Su Chengguo pulled Tian Guang along to proclaim his glory, and Tian Guang was once again greeted with the admiration of everyone in the Su family.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, you are our idol, you are our role model!"

Several children hugged Tianguang's knees and arms, expressing their admiration.

Tian Guang's expression was gentle, and he lovingly patted the children's heads. Surprisingly, all that chattering now didn't bother him at all.
