Chapter 6: Change
One bucket, two buckets, three buckets... Huh, how did the water overflow?
Bending at the waist and arching the back, the fourth movement of the second section has been completed. If it were a usual practice, Sean would return to a neutral position and repeat the entire sequence several times until the soreness and numbness in his body completely dissipated
Old Bond observed with his eyes and felt pain in his heart. However, Sean had always been very opinionated since childhood; if he had made up his mind about something, no matter what others said, he would not be willing to change.
If it were not for having such a vivid impression of these actions in his mind, Sean would not have been able to imitate them almost perfectly
Having spent only half the usual time, he has already achieved four times the amount of work.
Similarly, in the five actions of the second section, he has already been able to excellently complete four of them
Even the most obtuse individuals would notice such incredible progress. However, due to Sean's young age and his lack of proficiency compared to his father, he often wastes effort in vain. Therefore, when working alongside his father, it is not very apparent.
Although www.hetushu.com does not change every day, after twenty days of diligent practice, it has nearly doubled in speed compared to the first day
Sean follows this routine: he works every morning and afternoon, practices the five movements of the first section once at noon and once in the evening, and then gradually begins to attempt the new movements of the second section
However, when he picked up the bucket to fill the water tank at home with such a rudimentary task, he could clearly feel the strength of his own body
The second section also consists of five movements, but these five movements are significantly more difficult than those in the first section. Without the foundational movements from the first section, Sean would not be able to complete any of the movements at all
No one knows a son better than his father. From his son's daily actions, he can tell that Sean actually dislikes working in the fields. However, for old Bond, who has farmed his entire life, he truly cannot think of any other way to support his family besides farming.
For example, Old Bond had smoked marijuana for twenty years, but was forced to quit under Sean's request to refrain from secondhand smoke
Hastily returning home, Sean finished his meal, rested for a while, and waited for Old Bond to fall asleep before beginning to practice his daily required lessons again
During these forty days, he worked tirelessly in the fields every day, refusing to rest until he had exhausted himself. On several occasions, he even felt numbness in his body, lacking the strength to walk back home.
As for whether the development situation this time is somewhat excessive, for a straightforward father, his own children are certainly better the more capable they are
Of course, Sean also understood that this was due to his originally poor foundation, which resulted in such a remarkable effect. Furthermore, even if he continued to train in the future, it would be impossible to achieve such rapid progress again
The sudden transformation of his son has brought him genuine happiness from within, yet this change is so drastic that it feels as if he has jumped directly from one extreme to another, leaving him feeling quite perplexed
After the fifth action was completed, his expression became serious, and without pausing, he continued to carry out the movement.
The five movements in the first section pose no difficulty for him at this moment; lifting his legs and bending his arms are executed with agility and ease, showcasing a certain flair reminiscent of the first model in the virtual space
Four times, his overall ability has increased by a full four times compared to forty days ago
It was only after countless instructions in the virtual space, until every step of this set of movements, including the angle of the little finger's lift, was deeply imprinted in Sean's mind, that he was willing to stop
However, since quitting marijuana, Old Bond's asthma symptoms have gradually diminished and are now almost negligible
However, Old Bond noticed that every time Sean returned to rest for more than an hour at noon, he would be full of energy again when he resumed work in the afternoon. Moreover, no matter how exhausted he was when he returned home on the first night, he would wake up the next day brimming with vitality, as if he had slept for three days and nights in a row.
Moreover, due to his young age, with a body of only nine years, he can only carry half a bucket of water each time. This means that if he wants to fill the entire water tank, he would need to make fifteen round trips from the riverbank to here
However, today was different; he carried a full bucket of water each time, and he moved swiftly, not stopping even once along the way.
He tightened his fist and then slowly relaxed it, feeling the power contained within. Although this power was not particularly strong, it represented a significant improvement compared to the past.
Thus, when Old Bond saw his son working so hard in the fields, he felt both gratified and worried in his heart
Sean gazed at the already full water tank, slightly lost in thought. If he remembered correctly, it would take at least seven and a half buckets of water to fill this tank from the river.
Indeed, hard work pays off for those who are determined. After engaging in such rigorous training daily, his body has shown significant improvements in various aspects, including flexibility, strength, and speed
Today marks the fortieth day since he began practicing the first set of the radio calisthenics, second section, and the fourth chapter of the illustrated book
As his strength increased and his physical endurance improved, his body became increasingly resistant to fatigue. Consequently, the speed and quantity of his agricultural work gradually improved.
If it were not for the unwavering supervision of this strict teacher, even if Sean were to exert ten times more effort, he would not be able to master all these movements so quickly
Due to this stubborn temperament, the father and son often found themselves in conflict; however, in the vast majority of cases, it was still old Bond who conceded and compromised.
For a farmer who has spent most of his life in the loess, his only feeling is that his son's health has improved, he has developed well, and the family now has an additional capable helper
In achieving this, aside from his relentless efforts, the greatest credit should go to No. 1
The difficulty of the five movements in the second section is absolutely unmatched by the previous ones; his mental focus is heightened, and every part of his body has perfectly reached the most appropriate position
However, at this moment, his expression was extremely serious, and his outstretched arm traced a semicircle in the air, as he unexpectedly began to attempt the final movement of the second measure.
