Bonnie heard about the final fate of those young revolutionaries who stormed the family compound from Gu Ye.
"Comrade Lin Baoni, you're famous now! You're really famous!"
When Gu Ye got home from get off work, he saw Bao Ni playing with Liu Jiu and teased her.
"You know, I was so busy yesterday I forgot to tell you. What did they say? Did they describe me as a female general?"
Bonnie was a little smug, feeling that all her years of training had been worth it!
"You're quite proud of yourself. It was so dangerous, with so many people around. What if..."
Gu Ye tried to suppress Bao Ni's arrogance. Comrade Lin Bao Ni was like a proud peacock; when she got impulsive, she didn't care about anything.
"I knew what was going on. When I came in, I glanced around and saw that they were all unarmed and unarmed, and they were all just teenagers. How could I put myself in danger?"
Bonnie understood Gu Ye's concerns. He was afraid that she might be in danger, and that if she relied on her strength and martial arts skills, she would dare to charge forward at any time.
"It's good that you know what's going on. Everyone's crazy during this period, otherwise those guys wouldn't have dared to ambush the soldiers on guard duty. The young soldier is still in the hospital now."
Gu Ye was so angry at the thought of the soldier lying in the hospital bed that his teeth itched. Fortunately, the leader didn't get a good result either.
"How are those kids doing? Did they just let them go?"
"That's impossible. Attacking active-duty soldiers is punishable! The ringleaders have already been sent to farms, and the others will be given a re-education. It will be recorded in their files."
This punishment is not light. It's a record on your file, which will affect your future military service and employment. It will follow you for life and may even affect your descendants.
Because nowadays, everything requires a background check, and they need to check your records!
I wonder if those guys will regret it after they calm down, because they ruined their lives in a moment of impulsiveness.
Following this incident, security measures at the military base and its residential compound have been tightened, with stricter checks on entry and exit. The military cannot afford to be disorganized, especially on a coastal island like theirs, where enemy warships could provoke them at any time; they must remain constantly vigilant.
The world outside the island was in a state of high alert, with daily struggle sessions and house raids. Several groups of people had already been sent down to the island.
They may have been teachers, scholars, capitalists, or even people who were labeled with negative stereotypes.
Regardless, he used to be a prominent and respected figure. Now, he's disheveled, hunched over, and numb-faced; his former glory is nowhere to be seen.
Bonnie told her father that the people sent down to their island team should not be humiliated, but kept at a distance. They should also avoid getting too close to them, lest someone find fault with them, which would be bad for everyone.
They were not villains, but merely victims of the wheels of history.
At the end of the year, Gu Ye brought back some shocking news.
"What? Dr. Yang and the others are being transferred? Where are they going?"
Bonnie was surprised; several months had passed, and she thought it was all over. Dr. Yang was a very skilled doctor, and with her around, the women in the family compound felt very reassured.
"He will be transferred to a more remote island, where there will be fewer people, only one regiment. Regiment Commander Zheng will be transferred at the same level, and Dr. Yang will remain a doctor with the army. However, there is no clinic on that island, only a medical point."
Bonnie was a little sad. Although their residential compound's clinic was called a clinic, it was practically a small hospital. It had departments and some basic medical equipment. With Dr. Yang gone to that island, they were truly left all alone.
"Is there no other way? Can't we even sever Dr. Yang's ties with his family? It's just on the surface. If we tear things apart, we can at least protect ourselves and take care of our families."
"It's no use. Not only Dr. Yang, but Commander Chen also has some family issues. He was transferred from Kyoto, arriving around the same time as Bai Chaoyang. His family situation is also quite troublesome. It's a good outcome that he was able to be transferred safely to guard the island."
Bonnie fell silent. She didn't know much about this history, and what she knew was only superficial. Only when you are truly involved will you realize how turbulent the waves are, and how you could be swept into the sea if you're not careful.
That night, Gu Ye held Bao Ni close, feeling warmer and more secure that way.
Dr. Yang and his team left in the early hours of the morning without alerting anyone. By the time everyone found out, the ship had already been sailing for several hours.
Many of the women climbed onto their rooftops and waved their arms vigorously in the direction they had left.
Even though they knew Dr. Yang couldn't see them, for some reason everyone stood there spontaneously, waving their hands vigorously, unwilling to let go for a long time, praying in their hearts for a safe journey!
Life goes on. Everyone is sad to see Dr. Yang go, but there's nothing we can do to change that.
The Lunar New Year's Eve of 1967 was very quiet. There were no firecrackers or couplets; it was so quiet it didn't feel like the New Year at all.
Before the Lunar New Year was even over, the island welcomed new members. The second regiment had a new regimental leader, and his family had already arrived on the island.
The new team leader moved into Dr. Yang's former home.
It is said that the new regimental commander's family is from the countryside, with impeccable revolutionary credentials, and their ancestors for generations were all poor peasants. His wife is from the same village as him, and they are among the poorest of the poor.
The new regimental commander is in his forties and was transferred from another fleet. His older children have joined the army, and the three who came with him are not very old.
Human nature can be biased. Even though they knew that Dr. Yang and his team's departure had nothing to do with the new regimental commander, they still felt uneasy. As a result, many of the women in the family compound didn't go to say goodbye to them.
Bonnie's problem wasn't with those things, but mainly with Liu Jiu. Two-year-old Liu Jiu had so much energy that Bonnie was now spending all her time and energy on her.
The little girl is small in stature but incredibly strong, and she especially loves water. She's always trying to sneak out to swim in the sea. Bonnie wishes she could tie her to her waist with a rope and keep her constantly on her heels.
Gu Ye found it hilarious to watch the mother and daughter outwit each other, so he started bringing the little one along for his morning exercise every day to temper her temper and wear her down.
Surprisingly, Liu Jiu quite enjoys it. Unlike Bao Ni, who was forced to participate by Lao Jiang when she was little, Liu Jiu does it voluntarily, very voluntarily. She wakes up on time and follows her dad for morning exercises every day without fail, her two short legs moving with a good rhythm.
No matter how tough life gets, as long as you find the bright spots, it won't feel so bad!
A new year brings new hope, and Bonnie believes everything will get better. This is just a small bump on their road to prosperity and strength; overcome it, get through it, and the dawn will break!
