"You're so thoughtful, girl."

Grandpa Sun shook his head. "The two of us old men will stay here for the New Year. Running around will only attract attention, which won't do any good for any of us."

"Xiao Jingyu, we all know what you mean, there's really no need for this."

Uncle Liu said with a smile, "It doesn't matter where we celebrate the New Year, besides, there's still a little Japanese soldier staying in our village."

Their men will also appear in our village. We two old men will stay in the village and keep an eye on the Japanese devils to prevent them from causing trouble during the New Year.

Besides, we just wiped out one of their ninjas, and we don't know if any more ninjas will come.

We feel more at ease staying in the village.

If anything really happens, we can handle it promptly so as not to frighten the villagers.

"Not bad, not bad."

Grandpa Sun nodded and said, "Perhaps the Japanese are also watching your family. If we go to spend the New Year with you, it will definitely attract their attention and bring you unnecessary trouble."

"Little Yu'er, we've all lived almost a lifetime."

Third Master Liu added, "We really don't care about a little food or drink. Our greatest wish in this life is to drive all the Japanese devils out of our country."

This wish is half fulfilled. The remaining task is to completely wipe out these remaining Japanese devils and absolutely not allow them to continue committing atrocities and causing harm in our country.

"I see."

With the two old men so adamant, Lin Jingyu couldn't press the matter any further.

So she went back home and packed a basket full of various things for the two old men.

We left all the food, supplies, and drinks for them, hoping they would have a good New Year in the village.

The next day.

Lin Jingyu and the others all left the village.

The village chief wasn't too surprised to learn that they had gone to the county town for the Spring Festival.

"These children are truly remarkable."

As Aunt Hongmei worked, she said, "No wonder she's a city girl; she's got potential too."

"A smart person can live well anywhere."

The village chief held his grandson, Chang, and gave him a small rattle to play with. "Besides, none of them are afraid of hardship or fatigue; they always try to make a good living."

Children from ordinary families, of course, cannot be compared to them.

"Yes, smart kids are just different."

Aunt Hongmei couldn't help but sigh, "Qingqing, that girl, was taught so well by them after only playing with them for a short time."

I heard that she's now living with her husband's family, and no one dares to mess with her.

Xiuying was even luckier; she got together with a young police officer.

Once the other person's arrangements are finalized, the two will prepare to get married.

She's more promising than any of the girls in our village.

If our daughter hadn't gotten married so early, I really wish I could have learned a lot from them.

Everyone has their own destiny.

The village chief said calmly, "Some people are destined to have benefactors to help them, while for others, it's useless to force it."

That's true.

Aunt Hongmei nodded in agreement, "There are so many girls in the village, but only Qingqing and Xiuying caught their eye."

"So not everyone has this kind of luck."

The village chief then changed the subject, saying, "I thought Zhang Chushi had held some position in the army after so many years."

It's quite unexpected that he only became a police officer at a local police station after his military service.

“I remember Zhang Chushi didn’t have much education, so he probably wouldn’t be able to get promoted in the army.”

Aunt Hongmei couldn't help but say, "Didn't our Hanwen say that he was almost pushed down when he was promoted from soldier to squad leader? Luckily, he had gone to school back then."

"A cultured person is different no matter where they are."

"Fortunately, Hanwen was willing to study back then, and maybe he could have stayed in the army forever."

"No one can say for sure about these things."

"Old man, Zhang Chushi is working at the police station now. Do you think we should have Hansheng spend more time with him?"

Aunt Hongmei shared her thoughts: "No matter what, they're from the same village. If they can support each other, maybe they can go further together."

"There's no need for that right now."

The village chief frowned slightly, a wise glint in his eyes. "I don't know why this kid was discharged from the army. The commune didn't even know there were soldiers who had been discharged. It's a bit sudden that he came back alone."

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Our family doesn't seek wealth or luxury; we'll just live a simple, honest life.

"As you say."

Aunt Hongmei never objected to her husband's decisions. "When Hansheng comes back, you should talk to him about it, so that they don't get too close."

"Okay! We'll talk about it when he gets back!"

...

county seat.

Lin Jingyu and the others returned to the small villa and went home.

Su Jingtian was with Yang Shujue.

Peng Shiyu went home alone.

Qian Luyuan helped Lin Jingyu carry her things, and he followed her home.

I ate lunch at her house before leaving.

“Girl, this Qian educated youth…”

Zhang Yuxuan immediately launched into a trial, demanding, "You two be honest and confess, are you dating?"

My maternal grandmother and sister-in-law were also sitting nearby.

It looks like a three-way trial.

After all, they weren't blind; they could naturally see through Qian Luyuan's little scheme.

Lin Jingyu: ...

Speechless.

Meeting the gazes of the three, she responded frankly, "No, he's not my type. I only see him as a friend."
