Seeing them come over, Sun Yu took away the things that were taking up space, and Yu Yao and Song Yufeng put down the stools they had brought.

"This is a great spot!" Yu Yao exclaimed.

"Not just good, it's excellent." As she spoke, Sister-in-law Sun Yu gestured with her chin in a certain direction, "Sit here, right in front of the person making the self-criticism. This is a good seat that everyone specially reserved for you."

Yu Yao looked in the direction Sun Yu pointed and met Zhou Yinhua's gaze.

Zhou Yinhua noticed that she seemed somewhat nervous and unwilling while sitting there.

After a moment's thought, Yu Yao understood why.

Zhou Yinhua was giving her a self-criticism upstairs, while she sat below watching the spectacle. The contrast, the torment—only the one giving the self-criticism truly understood.

Just thinking about it makes me think this location is really great.

Yu Yao thanked her sisters-in-law for their kindness and sat down.

Soon, the family meeting began, hosted by Zhu Xiudan, the women's director. She first led everyone in reading the Little Red Book for half an hour, and then gave everyone half an hour of ideological education.

In the middle, the stories of some outstanding military families were explained, and the expectations of the higher-level leaders for building a harmonious and beautiful military compound were expressed. Only at the very end did the self-criticism session begin.

Zhu Xiudan, dressed in a crisp Zhongshan suit, spoke with a serious expression: "The enemy spy incident that happened in the compound a few days ago is still fresh in everyone's mind. One of our comrades, due to selfish motives, gave the enemy spies an opportunity, almost causing a major disaster. This was an extremely dangerous and irresponsible act, and we should take it as a warning."

"Now, please invite this military spouse to come up on stage to make a self-criticism. We hope she can deeply reflect on her mistakes."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone present, adults and children alike, looked at Zhou Yinhua.
