After the summer, a group of new residents moved into the family compound one after another. The tube-shaped buildings built in the past two years have been mostly occupied, and even the bungalows that were originally empty have been moved in by many people.

Fortunately, Jianshu's home is in a remote area and few people choose to live here, so several nearby rooms are still empty.

The family compound has become more lively. The children on vacation are running around everywhere, fishing today, shooting birds tomorrow, and climbing trees the day after tomorrow, never stopping.

Almost every day you can hear the sound of parents scolding their children and the sound of children screaming and yelling after being beaten.

It's noisy and lively every day.

Jianshu is a rare place of leisure.

Because there were a number of new people in the family compound, there were also many children who followed the army. According to tradition, after playing together for a while, the children would naturally become familiar with each other and play together.

But this time is an exception.

Among the new kids there is a kid king. Just a few days after he arrived, a group of kids who had just moved in gathered around him. They were competing with the "local tyrants" represented by Tiedan, trying to compete for the position of the boss.

How could Tie·I am the boss·Dan agree to give up his throne as the boss? He had no choice but to bring his brothers to fight them.

As a result, the two groups refused to give in to each other and fought for territory in the family compound every day.

Are you playing here? No! This is our place!

What? You were here first? I didn't see it. Whoever gets it first gets it!

A group of young, small-time kids, thanks to their family background, fought with considerable skill, using all sorts of tactics. Today you make a feint to the east and attack in the west, tomorrow I'll attack from the west to save Zhao. Although these tactics might seem a bit naive and ridiculous to adults, for them at their age, they were already quite good.

Therefore, a fight between children has attracted a lot of attention.

Even when Gu Mingjing returned home, he mentioned it to Jianshu.

For adults, as long as children's fighting is within controllable range, there is no need to interfere.

Competition creates pressure, and pressure creates motivation. They can also observe the performance of the crowd, and who knows, there might be some future stars of the army among them.

After all, they will always grow old, and children are the future.

From Gu Mingjing's occasional words, Jianshu could hear that Tiedan and the leader of the other faction received the highest evaluation. They were worthy of being the king of the children. Without some skills, no one would be convinced.

Because of the struggles during this period, Tiedan became visibly busier. He went out early and came back late every day. He would never go home before mealtime. After eating quickly, he would wipe his mouth and run away. He was even busier than those who worked formally.

Naturally, I don’t have time to play with Jianshu.

Although Jian Shu usually plays with a group of children, it is not appropriate for her to appear at this time.

She suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. She was bored staying at home, so apart from occasionally going to the next door to sit with Wu Xiufang, she would ride her bike around every now and then.

Her footprints can be found in the city and nearby villages.

During this period, Gu Mingjing was on a mission, and Jianshu didn't want to stay at home alone. Thinking that he couldn't go back to Beijing for the Chinese New Year last year and was not sure about this year, he simply took advantage of this time to take a spontaneous trip.

He left a letter for Gu Mingjing, said something to Wu Xiufang next door, and after leaving Xiaopang at her home, he slung his backpack over his shoulder and boarded the train back to Beijing.

She had no luggage except a few belongings.

She already had a change of clothes at home, so there was no need to add to her luggage. She was already a bit carsick, so she didn't have the energy to look after her luggage.

At the station, she called Ding Ming and told him the time and train number of her arrival. Her train would not arrive in Beijing until the evening, and by then there would be no public buses and it would be dark. She really didn't dare go back alone, so she had to trouble Ding Ming.

While on the train, Jianshu slept most of the time. She bought a ticket for the upper bunk, which was a little inconvenient to get on and off and the space was a little small, but at least it was safer.

Along the way, Jianshu never got off the bus except to eat and go to the toilet. Apart from attracting a few more glances because of his outstanding appearance, there were no accidents along the way.

Her unapproachable demeanor scared off many who wanted to approach her. Plus, her position was too high, so others didn't really have a chance to talk to her.

At nine o'clock the next evening, the train finally arrived at Jingshi Station with a rattling sound.

As soon as he got off the train, Jianshu saw Ding Ming waiting eagerly not far away.

"Sister-in-law! Over here!" He had sharp eyes and saw Jianshu getting off the car at a glance.

Ding Ming: There was no way. His sister-in-law was standing there, she seemed to be glowing, very conspicuous, it was hard not to see her.

Jianshu walked towards him and greeted him with a smile, "Have you been waiting for a long time? The train is delayed." Train delays are common these days, and it would be a bit strange if they were not delayed.

"It's okay, nothing much to do anyway." Ding Ming didn't care. "The car is outside, let's get in first."

"Okay." Jianshu nodded.

After getting out of the station, there was a car parked not far away, attracting the attention of many people around.

Jianshu and Ding Ming quickly got into the car, and the car slowly drove away from the train station.

In the car.

"Sister-in-law, why did you come back alone this time? Where is my brother Gu? Why isn't he with you?" Ding Ming asked tentatively.

I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that his brother Gu and his sister-in-law had a quarrel, and his sister-in-law went back to her parents' home in anger?

He originally thought of calling Gu Mingjing to ask, but he couldn't get through. He was very worried and anxious.

Many thoughts flashed through my mind in a flash.

"Your brother Gu went on a mission, and I was bored staying there alone, so I decided to come back and stay for a while."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Ding Ming immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it wasn't a quarrel. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to mediate without adding fuel to the fire.

"Sister-in-law, how long do you plan to stay this time?"

"I'm not sure yet. Stay here first and wait until your brother Gu comes back." Jian Shu didn't want to go back after she came back with great difficulty. She had to stay for the fullest, otherwise it would be a shame for her to go back and forth.

"Okay, I'll bring you some rice, flour and vegetables tomorrow. If you need anything else, just let me know." Since I'm going to stay for a while, I have to cook at home.

"Okay, I won't be polite with you. In a couple of days when you and Ningning are on vacation, come to my house for dinner and we can get together." Jian Shu nodded. "By the way, remember to bring Xiaobao over. He's grown up so big, and I haven't even seen him yet."

Although she has everything in her space, there must be a source to cover it up.

"Okay, I'll be there by then." Ding Ming agreed readily.
