Mo Qiufeng was very efficient. Early the next morning, the radio broadcast commended the heroic deeds of Ruan Qiqi and others. This was the busiest time in the family building.

People were busy cooking in the corridor, washing in the bathroom, and there were also a bunch of people in the toilet. When the broadcast sounded, everyone stopped what they were doing and listened carefully.

"Liu Dani, did you really catch the Japanese?"

"Wang Cuihua, you can still catch the Japanese? It's incredible!"

The family building was filled with fuss and sounds of envy and jealousy.

"How could the arrest of the Japanese devils be fake? This is all thanks to Sister Ruan. People with knowledge are smart. She saw through the Japanese devils at a glance. Otherwise, we would have needed a military advisor in the past. Sister Ruan was the military advisor and we were the thugs. She talked and we did the work. Together, we arrested the Japanese devils!"

Liu Dani was very eloquent. She described the scene of catching the Japanese devils yesterday in vivid detail, even describing the details clearly, except that she didn't say that she farted.

"Why didn't you tell me you farted? The Japanese were knocked unconscious by your fart!"

Wang Cuihua added loudly.

"Your farts smell good? It's like you don't fart at all!"

"My farts don't smell good, but they're not as smelly as yours. You have a big butt, so your farts also smell bad!"

Soon, the topic shifted from the Japanese devils to farting. Liu Dani and Wang Cuihua, the two enemies, started arguing with each other, and the family building was very lively.

The bonus was also distributed, 200 yuan was shared by eight people, and each person received 25 yuan.

Liu Dani and the others were even happier, this was a windfall!

The seven of them discussed it and decided to go to the farm. They bought a lot of watermelons and gave Ruan Qiqi about twenty of them, which weighed more than 200 kilograms.

"Thanks to Miss Ruan, we were able to make a fortune. We carefully selected these watermelons. You and Deputy Captain Lu can enjoy them slowly!"

Liu Dani had the best eloquence and was elected as a representative of the seven people to express their gratitude.

"Thank you."

Ruan Qiqi didn't hesitate and accepted the watermelons.

"Sister Ruan, can you teach me a few words of the Japanese language you spoke that day?" Wang Cuihua was very motivated and wanted to learn the Japanese language.

She mainly wanted to make money.

Because she suddenly realized that nothing could make money faster than catching the Japanese devils. She could get a reward of 200 yuan for each one!

If she caught a Japanese soldier by herself, she would get 200 yuan. If she could catch ten Japanese soldiers, she would get 2,000 yuan.

The more Wang Cuihua thought about it, the more beautiful it became. She naturally felt the motivation to learn the Japanese language. If for no other reason than the money, she would study hard and catch the Japanese every day!

"Sister Ruan, I want to learn it too. I'll just learn a few phrases that the devils often use. Maybe I can use them!"

Liu Dani and a few others also expressed their desire to learn, because the money was so tempting.

One little Japanese soldier = 200 yuan = 400 kilograms of pork.

Even if you only catch one Japanese soldier a year, you will make a lot of money.

"Okay, come in!"

Ruan Qiqi readily agreed. It is better to teach now than to wait for another day.

Liu Dani and a few others entered the house. There were not enough stools, so they ran back home and brought back small stools. They sat down and listened to the lecture like elementary school students.

Ruan Qiqi only taught a few daily expressions, which were not difficult to learn. Liu Dani and the others learned them quickly, but they still felt a little unfamiliar when speaking them.

"You will become proficient with more practice. When you use these to test the Japanese, you can't do it deliberately. You have to take advantage of the time when they are relaxed and suddenly ask questions. This will be effective. Also, you have to protect yourself first. You can't risk your life for the bonus!"

Ruan Qiqi repeatedly reminded him that she was worried about these women, who would not even care about their lives in order to earn bonuses.

"Safety comes first, we have it in mind!"

Liu Dani and others agreed immediately. They have families and their lives are definitely more important.

During this period, there was a learning craze in the family building, and everyone was going there for the high bonus. When Mo Qiufeng found out about it, he thought it was a great idea. The enemy is everywhere, and only when everyone is a soldier can these enemies have nowhere to hide.

Another person who is also working hard to learn Japanese is Manzai.

Ever since he and Ruan Qiqi went out to capture the Japanese, Manzai took the initiative to ask to learn Japanese. Grandpa Lou once studied in Sakura Country and could speak fluent Japanese. He would take time out every day to teach Manzai.

Soon it was the end of the month, and Ruan Qiqi captured three more Japanese devils during this period, ranking sixth.

Although she likes number six, she only likes number one in terms of ranking.

So she planned to continue her efforts to catch the Japanese devils.

That day, Ruan Qiqi received a call from Zhang Weihong, asking her to go shopping.

Zhang Weihong's voice sounded tired and a little hoarse.

"Where have you been? I haven't seen you in a while!"

Ruan Qiqi asked curiously.

She went to look for Zhang Weihong a while ago, but she was not there. People in the factory said she had taken a long vacation.

"I went back to the capital to take care of my mother. She is not in good health."

"Is your mother okay now?"

"She's passed away."

Ruan Qiqi was silent for a few seconds and said, "My condolences!"

"I've already prepared myself mentally, it's nothing."

Zhang Weihong was not too sad. Her mother had always been in poor health and suffered a lot from the illness. Death might be a relief for her mother.

Ruan Qiqi happened to be free, so she went to the teahouse to meet her.

Zhang Weihong was wearing a white shirt and black pants. He looked a lot thinner, but he was in good spirits.

"My mother died with a smile on her face. It was a relief for her. I am not sad. I followed my mother's instructions on the funeral arrangements. Everything was kept simple. Half of her ashes were buried in Beijing, and the other half were buried in my hometown, together with my grandmother. My mother and my grandmother had a good relationship."

Zhang Weihong had probably been holding it in for a long time and had a strong desire to talk, so she said a lot.

Ruan Qiqi listened quietly, acting as a qualified listener.

"The night my mother passed away, she talked a lot about her experiences when she was young. Then I understood why she always wore black, gray and blue and why she was always so serious. She apologized to me and said that she shouldn't have asked me to do that because of her own experience."

Zhang Weihong smiled bitterly a few times, feeling very uncomfortable.

The reason why her first marriage failed was because her ex-husband thought she was old-fashioned and boring, and she couldn't stand his bullying, so she filed for a divorce. Her father opposed it, but her mother supported it, so the divorce went through.

She had become accustomed to the black, gray and blue tones, but when her mother was dying, she told her that it was wrong and asked her to change!

Zhang Weihong felt a little resentful. She would rather her mother not regret it and let her get used to black, gray and blue forever.

The mother's regret was like peeling off the scab that had already healed, making her wound bleed again. She felt so uncomfortable.

Ruan Qiqi listened to the story of Zhang Weihong's mother and found it to be similar to what she had guessed.

Zhang's mother was from Tanzhou. She was lively and loved dressing up when she was young, and her family was well off, but her father was a very old scholar who was very strict with her.

One day, Zhang's mother dressed up beautifully and went to attend her classmate's birthday party. Because she was having so much fun, she forgot the time. It was getting dark, so her classmate asked her to stay overnight and go back the next morning.

But the Zhang family had a rule that one could not spend the night outside. Zhang's mother was afraid of being scolded by her father, so she decided to go home. The place was not far away and it was not completely dark yet. The young mother Zhang did not expect that this decision would ruin her life.
