The next day, when it was still dawn, the Lu Jiefang brothers slept very soundly. Their dreams were full of delicious food, including chicken legs and pork elbows. The two brothers smacked their lips non-stop as the chicken legs and pork elbows were delivered to their mouths, just a fraction of a second away from being in their mouths.

"Snap"

A huge slap came down from the sky, knocking the chicken leg and the big elbow away, and then Lu Desheng's "horrible" black face, as if magnified hundreds of times, appeared in front of the two brothers, grinning at them.

The brothers were so frightened that they felt refreshed.

"It's not even daybreak yet, what are you doing?"

The two brothers were so angry that they wanted to beat the old man, but they didn't have the courage to do so.

"Look, the sun is out, hurry up and get up and practice boxing. It's because I didn't discipline you before that I raised you two useless people. From now on, you must get up and practice boxing at 5:30 every morning, rain or shine!"

Lu Desheng was only wearing thin clothes, but he was energetic enough to kill a tiger. He got up at 5:30 every morning to practice boxing, and he has been doing it for more than 40 years.

"Which one is the loser? We just won the second-class merit!"

The two brothers retorted in unison. If it were in the past, when the old man called them trash, they would not dare to say a word in reply. But now they are so confident.

The freshly-minted second-class merit is still hot. Which loser can win the second-class merit?

"You are so proud of yourself for having won the second-class merit? I have so many military medals, am I proud of myself? What are you still hesitating about? You must gather in the yard within five minutes, otherwise I will beat you to death!"

Lu Desheng slapped another person in the face. It was just a small second-class merit. What qualifications did he have to be proud and complacent?

In the past, he was too busy with work and had problems with his ideology. He believed that men should be the breadwinners and women should be the homemakers, so he did not discipline his three sons. As a result, Lu Ye grew up to be a successful person, but these two bastards were wasted.

During this period of time, he has been reflecting and realizing his mistakes. If there are mistakes, just correct them. Lu Desheng decided to take time to strictly discipline these two boys. He does not ask them to be as successful as their eldest brother, but only asks them to be able to protect themselves when they encounter danger in the future.

"knew!"

The two brothers roared angrily, their heads were buzzing from being slapped, and their sleepiness was completely gone.

Lu Desheng went to the yard to wait. The two brothers stayed in bed for three seconds, got out of bed with difficulty, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and looked at the darkness outside. The two brothers sighed together.

"You keep telling lies all day long. The sun is out and the moon hasn't even set yet. Yuan Chao, look at the time."

Lu Jiefang really wanted to curse. He wasn’t going to be a thief, so why did he get up in the dark and throw a punch?

Lu Yuanchao splashed cold water on his face a few times. The cold water made him sober up. He raised his wrist and muttered, "Five o'clock, didn't Master Ya say it was half past five?"

Lu Jiefang was so angry that he pounded his chest, subtracting the five minutes the old man spent scolding them, which meant that the old man came to call them at five o'clock.

This life is unbearable!

It’s better to go back to the army early. At least the troops get up at six o’clock for training, which is much more humane than the old man.

Although the two brothers were full of complaints, they did not dare to slow down, because the old man really knew how to beat them, and his blows were very ruthless.

It took two minutes to wash with cold water, another minute to fold the quilt, another minute to get dressed, and the last minute to rush to the yard.

"Report!"

The two brothers stood straight and saluted.

"Boxing!"

After Lu Desheng finished speaking, he started boxing. Each punch was powerful and imposing. He had been practicing this set of boxing since he was a child. He didn't even know what it was called. He learned it from a retired bodyguard in the village.

The bodyguard told him that this set of boxing is to train internal strength, which will bring great benefits if practiced well. Lu Desheng has persisted in it for more than forty years. He has not felt other benefits, but his body and spirit are indeed much stronger than those of his peers. He has rarely caught a cold in the past forty years, and except when he was injured, he never went to the hospital.

He taught this set of boxing to the three brothers Lu Ye and others. Whenever he was at home, he would wake the three brothers up in the morning to practice boxing. It was a pity that he spent too little time at home.

"Didn't you eat? You're so weak. Even women can fight with more force than you. Your fists can't even kill a rabbit, and you still want to fight the enemy?"

Looking at the two brothers boxing, Lu Desheng was extremely disgusted and corrected them while scolding them.

The training lasted until the sun came out. The brothers were sweating and very hungry. However, after finishing the boxing, they felt relaxed and energized.

"You have nothing to do during the day, so clean up the other room. It's ridiculous for two people to share one bed!"

While having breakfast, Lu Desheng assigned tasks to the two brothers.

The two brothers were supposed to each have a room, but cleaning a room takes a lot of work, and the two brothers found it troublesome, so they only cleaned up one room and shared one bed.

"I'll be back in the army soon, cleaning up the waste!"

The brothers had a strong reason: they didn't mind the crowd anyway.

"I'm lazy, don't talk about useless things, just eat and clean up!"

Lu Desheng glared fiercely and easily saw through the laziness of these two bastards.

"It's no problem for us to clean up, but after we go to the army, you will have to wash the quilt covers and sheets!" Lu Jiefang muttered.

"If you don't wash it, it will grow hair."

Lu Yuanchao immediately added.

Lu Desheng was silent for a few seconds. He pretended nothing had happened and slurped his porridge, not mentioning cleaning the room again.

The two brothers clapped their hands proudly under the table. The old man always said that they were lazy. Well, it was the old man who was the laziest.

“Give us some money!”

Lu Jiefang was eating a bun in one hand and stretched his other hand in front of Lu Desheng.

"Where's the hundred dollars you gave me yesterday?"

“I’ve spent all my money.”

The two brothers answered confidently that the remaining eight dollars and eighty-eight cents would be given as a gift to their future nephew, and now their pockets were cleaner than their faces.

"You spent all the 100 yuan in one day? Even if I opened a banknote printing factory, I still couldn't afford to support you two losers. I still have 50 yuan left, spend it sparingly!"

Lu Desheng went into the house, took out fifty yuan, slammed it on the table in annoyance, and asked them what they were going to do today.

"Going to the farm to see my mom!"

The two brothers answered in unison.

Lu Desheng frowned. Although he disliked Lin Manyun, she was his son's biological mother after all, so he had to go and see her.

"Don't agree to anything she asks you to do. She won't die of starvation or fatigue on the farm. Don't listen to her crying and pitiful words!"

Lu Desheng gave a few instructions and went to work after dinner.

The two brothers washed the dishes, bought a can of malted milk, a bag of biscuits and luncheon meat, and a bag of fruit, then rode their bikes to the farm and asked around. They found out that Lin Manyun was working at the foot of the mountain.

"Both of my sons have won second-class merits. I will definitely be able to leave here. I don't want to do these jobs. You can do them if you want. Don't expect me to do them. I am different from you. Do you have sons who have won second-class merits?"

Lin Manyun's arrogant and complacent voice came from afar. The two brothers heard it as soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, and they frowned at the same time.
