The true test is on the training field; this is a true reflection of the situation during the 1969 period.
Mu Nanfang wasn't just there to accompany Liu Jiu; he was from a military family, and even if he didn't join the army, he couldn't neglect his military skills, which was something he had been doing since childhood.
On the training field, Mu Nanfang and Gu Liujiu ran freely, their laughter echoing. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on their faces, and the glistening beads of sweat showcased the spirit of the new generation of youths.
Mu Beifang suddenly felt envious of Mu Laosan, who had someone running alongside him. Even if they didn't end up getting married, it would still be a beautiful and memorable experience.
Now that I've figured out what I wanted to know, my mind is no longer restless like a cat's claws. Tomorrow I'll be back at school, and a new round of learning will begin.
Liu Jiu and Mu Nanfang walked towards Mu Beifang, having run their fill. "Second Brother, we've finished training. Liu Jiu is going home for dinner and to study. Let's go home too."
"Okay, let's go back."
Mu Beifang thought to himself, "I know everything I know, and I've seen a different side of Mu Laosan. It's all worth it."
"Goodbye, Brother Mu. See you next week, Mu Nanfang."
Liu Jiu waved and walked away with Gu Xuanyi and Sanqi.
"Third brother, the Gu family kids have a very good relationship!"
"Yes, Gu Xuanyi is the child of Uncle Liu Jiu's family. Her uncle is currently working in the south."
Mu Nanfang had heard Zheng Jun talk about Gu Jia's family and admired Liu Jiu's father and uncle.
"Southern, no matter what the outcome is in the future, remember your good fortune to have such a like-minded partner to grow together with."
However, you need to be careful not to leave any trace; the girl is still too young. High school is a crucial time; don't let it affect her future.
Mu Beifang said earnestly that he hoped this would be a beautiful memory.
"Brother, I know. I'm not some greenhorn who does things recklessly."
For a fleeting moment, he understood his own feelings, thinking only of silently staying by her side, without any intention of doing anything else. As for what would happen in the future, he would let nature take its course. Liu Jiu, however, was completely oblivious, lacking any awareness of such matters.
Mu Nanfang was very clear-headed; he wouldn't do anything out of line.
"I'm glad you understand. I believe you. You've always known what you want."
After the two brothers had a frank and open conversation, they both felt much more relaxed.
The central figure in the discussion, Gu Liujiu, went home, took a shower, ate a hearty meal, and began studying.
The three children upstairs were studying, and Sister Xiang had gone back to her room to rest. Bao Ni washed some pears and brought them upstairs.
"The weather is dry, eat more pears, don't study too late, go to bed early."
Bonnie gave a series of instructions and then went downstairs to her bedroom.
"Still learning?"
Gu Ye finished packing and was about to go to sleep. He had to go on a business trip tomorrow and would be gone for a week.
"Studying, Sanqi is listening to a foreign language, and Liujiu and Xuanyi are doing exercises. Have you packed your things? Bring some warm clothes, the temperature is dropping quite quickly."
Bonnie didn't know what Gu Ye could bring on his business trips and what he couldn't, so she packed her own luggage whenever her brother went on a business trip.
"Everything is packed. I'll be gone for a week this time, and I won't be able to pick up my uncle and the others from the station. Chen Li and Zhang Ce are coming with me this time. I'll have Han Ye find a car for them."
Gu Ye didn't expect to suddenly have to go on a business trip; things all seemed to have piled up at once.
"No need to trouble Brother Han. Sister-in-law Wei Hong said they are quite busy right now. There are porters near the station, so don't worry about us."
"Honey, let's go to sleep. I'll be gone for a week. Don't you miss me? I'll miss you terribly."
Gu Ye pulled Bao Ni aside, covered her with the blanket, and everything was understood without words...
Gu Ye is away on a business trip, and Bao Ni is a little unaccustomed to sleeping in her own big bed. The bed feels very big and empty.
"Mom, when will Grandpa and the others arrive?"
Sanqi felt that his mother was easily distracted ever since his father went on a business trip.
"Oh? Grandpa, oh, I'll be there tomorrow."
Bonnie was lost in thought, wondering if Gu Ye had arrived at his destination.
"Mom, Dad will be back soon, so you don't need to miss him so much."
Sanqi hugged his mother. Why are these two so dependent on each other? Isn't the child supposed to be the most important? Why are his parents different?
"Mom knows, it's just that I'm suddenly not used to it. Your dad has been home a lot lately, and now that he's suddenly gone on a business trip, it feels like something's missing from the house."
Bonnie patted Sanqi's head. "Son, you've grown taller again. You seem taller than me now."
"Really? Let's compare back to back."
Sanqi also felt like she had grown taller again, and her pants were a bit short.
Sanqi called his sister over and asked her to compare their heights.
"Stand up straight, don't look up, let me see."
Liu Jiu directed her mother and San Qi to stand in line; Liu Jiu, who was already over 1.6 meters tall, was taller than both of them.
"Sanqi is a little taller than Mom, about two centimeters taller."
"Really? I thought it was just my imagination. I felt my pants were a bit short the other day, but I didn't expect that I've really grown taller."
Sanqi jumped twice, wishing him to grow taller, preferably even taller than his father.
“In a few days, I’ll go and make you two more pairs of pants. The ones in the Sylphy are a bit too short. Your aunt said she bought you cotton-padded jackets, which are the new style this year. She called a few days ago to ask about your height and weight.”
Sister-in-law Gu said she can't come back for Chinese New Year this year, and she won't let Xuanyi and his brother come over for winter vacation either. It's not very safe on the train now, especially the trains going south, where the people are too diverse.
"That's great, Auntie has excellent taste."
