The movie screen began to display images.

Yun Ningyan smiled. It really was a war movie, the one about tunnel warfare. She had watched it countless times when she was in school.

Watching it now feels different; it always evokes her patriotism.

Their country is growing stronger little by little, and will become even stronger in the future, perhaps even becoming a world leader.

She firmly believed that this day would come.

Although this is a parallel universe, everyone here is Chinese, and everyone's patriotism is fervent and intense.

Their country is bound to become strong!

We will definitely stand at the top of the world!

At the beginning of the movie, the voices in the crowd became a little quieter.

Everyone was intently watching the movie screen.

Everyone was on tenterhooks when they saw something exciting.

When they saw the danger, everyone became tense and afraid.

Everyone present had seen this film several times; they had also seen it when other brigades showed it.

I just watch the same few movies over and over again.

As the movie ended, the crowd was in high spirits, shouting for it to be shown again.

The team leader could only smile and say to the projectionist, "Comrade, please show it again. The commune members are too excited! Let's show it again."

The captain handed him a cigarette; it was a Daqianmen brand, given to him by Ningning when she first arrived.

He didn't even smoke it; he saved it for entertaining guests when something important happened.

The projectionist was easy to talk to and played it again without saying a word.

It was already late at night when the second screening ended.

But no one went home, not even the neighboring brigades.

After the second showing, everyone still wasn't satisfied and asked for a second showing.

But this time, no matter what the captain said, it wouldn't work.

The projectionist said helplessly, "There are other teams waiting, and it's too late to show it anymore."

The captain had no choice but to let them go.

The projectionist started packing up, and everyone realized this was going to be the third time.

They all got up and took their own stools back home.

There were too many people.

Yun Ningyan, Huo Junshan, and Li Xiangyun were all at the front, so they walked at the back.

Huo Junshan's large hand protected her the whole time, not letting anyone touch her.

On the way back, Li Xiangyun was still very excited: "I haven't seen enough yet, why can't it be played a third time!"

Huo Junshan: "It's good enough that we have something to watch. We'll buy a TV later and watch it properly at home!"

Li Xiangyun pointed at him with her index finger: "Look at what you're saying! Buying a TV? You're counting on your few work points? You'll never save them up!"

Yun Ningyan secretly grinned.

Her mother-in-law has no idea that her son is now very wealthy.

Let alone a television set, I can afford to buy other appliances like refrigerators and color TVs, as long as they are available.

Huo Junshan just smiled and didn't say anything.

As soon as Li Xiangyun entered the Huo family's gate, Huo Junshan picked up Yun Ningyan and left.

Yun Ningyan was startled, and Huo Junshan used one arm to let her sit on his arm.

Yun Ningyan quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and scolded him playfully, "Huo Junshan! Why didn't you even say hello?"

Huo Junshan chuckled lightly: "Let's go home!"

He carried the person all the way back, and locked the door as soon as they got home.

Yun Ningyan was extremely sleepy; she even started to doze off on the way.

Huo Junshan put her on the kang (a heated brick bed), lit a candle, and pinched her cheek: "Yanyan, wake up, aren't you going to wash up?"

Yun Ningyan opened her eyes, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Huo Junshan shook his head and chuckled before going into his spatial dimension to wash up.

He's gotten used to it now; people just disappear from his sight.

He himself had become accustomed to the existence of space.

As soon as Yun Ningyan appeared, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yun Ningyan hadn't washed her hair and came out wearing only her thermal underwear. She lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) with her eyes closed, ready to sleep. It was almost midnight.

I'm so sleepy.

Huo Junshan came out and pulled her into his arms, gently patting her back: "Sleep!"

Huo Junshan still gets up early every morning to cook, while she stays in bed on the kang (heated brick bed).

As the weather gradually warmed up, they stopped using the kang (a heated brick bed), and after a winter, they still had firewood left.

In another two weeks, I estimate I'll be able to go back to work in the fields.

At this time, the job is to go to the fields and weed the wheat.

As soon as the weather warms up, the wheat starts to grow wildly, and the weeds follow suit.

After they finished breakfast, they stayed home and continued reading and doing exercises.

Huo Min has also started school and gone to high school.

The brigade leader's family doesn't need her to do the work.

Huo Jianshe still frequently came over for meals, and if he didn't know something, he would ask Huo Junshan to explain it to him.

That day.

Huo Jianshe came over early in the morning to call people.

"Third brother, Mother wants you to go and talk to Aunt about her."

Yun Ningyan blinked. It was time for Huo Changlan and her daughter to leave!

"Let's go, there's something interesting to see, let's go check it out."

Huo Junshan nodded.

Huo Junshan locked the door, and the group walked forward.

As soon as they arrived at the courtyard, they saw everyone sitting there, including the brigade leader, the old lady, Huo Guodong, and Huo Guoliang.

When Li Xiangyun saw the group approaching, she pulled Yun Ningyan to sit down next to her.

The captain put down his long pipe: "Since you're here, let's talk about your aunt!"

After the captain finished speaking, he looked at Huo Changlan and got straight to the point: "The weather is getting warmer, Changlan, why don't you take the children and go live in the old courtyard?"

“We brothers have helped you through this difficult time. From now on, your future depends on yourselves.”

Huo Changlan's expression was not good. She did not expect that her second sister-in-law would actually invite her eldest brother over.

They won't be satisfied until they're driven away.

Huo Changgen's expression was also not good. He thought he would let the others move out after they took off their cotton-padded clothes.

The weather had just warmed up, and without consulting him, his wife called his older brother over to discuss the matter.

This shows they don't take him seriously!

He just sat there without saying a word. After the captain finished speaking, no one else spoke.

Li Xiangyun glanced at Huo Changgen and glared at him fiercely.

"Big brother, let them move out today, I can't handle this! Eldest brother, second brother, go help your aunt move her things! Third brother, go help too!"

Li Xiangyun then looked at the fourth and fifth brothers and said, "You two go help your cousin pack her things. Move them out before noon!"

Huo Changgen could no longer hold back. He glared at Li Xiangyun and said angrily, "Does it have to be this urgent? They have no work points and no food. Aren't they going to starve to death?"

The captain sighed: "Changgen, just move out. She's been living in your house for months, that's enough!"

“We’re the older brothers, not our parents! Once we move there, each of our families will send her some food so she doesn’t go hungry. Your whole family still needs to live!”

Huo Changlan sat there motionless. Suddenly, she looked up at Li Xiangyun and said, "Second sister-in-law! Although the weather is getting warmer, we have nothing over there. How are my mother, brother, and I supposed to survive?"
