Chapter 358: Shame on Me
After hearing the story of the child soldiers, Junzi and Huazi seemed like different people.
The two men stopped complaining about the hard work and gritted their teeth, dragging their tired bodies to pull the weeds in the field.
His seriousness stunned the military wives nearby.
"It seems Director Qi has done a good job of educating us. Look how hard Junzi and Huazi work."
I don’t know how they were taught, but the military wives all wanted to ask Qi Fang to do some ideological work for the naughty boy at home.
When we told them to go to the fields, they would just fool around and then disappear without a trace.
The military wives also nodded repeatedly to the performance of Junzi and Huazi.
People are like this. They are extremely tolerant of those who are willing to turn back and reform.
Seeing that Junzi and Huazi had changed, they were happy to show them kindness.
"Soldier Huazi, are you thirsty? Auntie has some water here, come and drink some."
"Soldier Huazi, are you hungry? Auntie brought some steamed buns. Come, have one each."
Before the two of them could react, a bowl of water and a head of dough were stuffed into their hands.
Seeing the warm smiles on the wives of the soldiers, Junzi and Huazi felt even more ashamed.
It turns out that when they first joined the army, the wives of the soldiers were also very warm and welcoming to them.
But ever since the two of them followed Qiangzi and did bad things, the military wives began to avoid them. How could anyone treat them so warmly?
The soldier was very hungry. He took a bite of the rice noodle, but his eyes were a little sad.
Especially when he thought of the child soldiers that Qi Fang had just talked about, he felt very uncomfortable.
Huazi has a bad memory and he chews the two pieces of rice cake bite by bite. What he is thinking is that he must eat both pieces of rice cake in the future and not waste them.
The two were eating steamed buns by the field.
A loud shout came from the distant hillside!
“Fire!”
The soldiers looked in the direction of the sound and saw two teams of children, each on one side, throwing "bombs" fiercely at each other!
And the “cannonballs” are just mud and grass balls picked up at random!
After all the “bombs” were thrown, the older and younger kids in charge of command launched a general attack!
"Comrades, for the victory of New China! Charge!"
Following the command, the children picked up submachine guns made of wooden forks and rushed forward shouting.
I don't know whose red shirt was taken off and used as a flag. The red flag stood out particularly among the group of charging children!
Little Zhaozhao was fully armed today. Not only was he wearing a military uniform and a military cap, he was also holding a wooden submachine gun made by his father, and he followed his older brothers and sisters to charge!
Little Yanyan next to her was obviously dragged along to make up the numbers.
But although he was reluctant at first, he got addicted after playing for a while.
Not only does he hold a submachine gun very well, he can also throw mines while running.
How could the kids dressed as Japanese devils on the opposite side withstand such a fierce "attack"?
After a short while, they were defeated!
"We won!"
"We won!"
The children representing the Red Army cheered!
Junzi and Huazi were jealous of them because they were having so much fun.
At this time, Qi Fang also came over.
"It's only ten minutes before we get off work. If you want to play, go ahead and play for a while."
Hearing this, the two brothers were somewhat interested.
Huazi even stood up.
But Junzi didn't know what he was thinking, but he shook his head and said, "Director Qi, I won't go. I'll pull some grass for a while."
Seeing that his brother was not going, Huazi hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
"I won't go either. I still have to pull weeds!"
At this time, both of them had not forgotten about the child soldiers, and the only thought in their minds was not to embarrass the child soldiers!
Qi Fang was very pleased.
"Well done, both of you!"
It seems that these two children are not that bad by nature and can still be saved.
After being praised by Qi Fang, the two of them straightened their chests unconsciously, and their bodies seemed to be filled with strength.
The two brothers, one tall and one short, went back to pulling out weeds.
The weather is very hot in summer, and the sun is already very bright at ten o'clock.
Qi Fang looked at the assigned tasks and saw that they were almost completed, so he told everyone to go home.
Su Ranran was not busy with anything else today, so she followed them to the fields.
When she heard that it was time to finish work, she called out to the two kids who were still playing the war game.
"Yanyan, Zhaozhao, we are going home!"
After she finished shouting, she didn't care anymore and started packing up her things.
Xie Fangshu took off her hat and fanned herself while taking out paper and pen from her pocket.
"Ranran, I have a question for you..."
Su Ranran really admires Xie Fangshu's learning spirit.
Whenever she had a little free time, she would write down the difficult questions she encountered last night and then ask her questions one by one.
Su Ranran took the notebook she handed over, and the two of them sat on the ground and began to discuss the questions.
The other military wives were no longer surprised by Xie Fangshu's hard work.
It just so happened that they were also studying in the class, and some military wives would listen to their lectures when they had nothing to do.
Just like now, Xie Fangshu asked a physics question.
Su Ranran explained and demonstrated to her in a vivid way.
The military wives passing by couldn't help but slow down their pace.
Looking at the little experiment done by Su Ranran, the military wives all opened their mouths wide and watched with great interest.
Junzi and Huazi also came over.
Huazi didn't understand what Su Ranran said, but Junzi seemed to understand, but there was a glimmer of curiosity in his eyes.
Su Ranran saw it and deliberately slowed down her speech to explain it again.
This time the soldier seemed to understand, and his eyes suddenly brightened amazingly!
Unable to hold back, he asked a question.
"Auntie Su, are these natural phenomena science?"
Su Ranran smiled and said, "This is also part of science."
The soldier's eyes became brighter!
"Then I want to be a scientist when I grow up!"
Hearing this, the military wives all smiled kindly.
"Not bad, soldier, you are really ambitious. Auntie likes you!"
"Then you have to work hard! Becoming the first scientist in our academy will make you famous wherever you go in the future!"
Everyone encouraged each other.
The soldier's eyes sparkled.
At this moment, he seemed to have found his dream.
On the way back, Junzi walked next to Su Ranran, asking her some strange questions from time to time.
Su Ranran was not impatient and answered every question carefully.
Xiao Zhaozhao and Xiao Yanyan continued to walk and stop. Xiao Zhaozhao liked to pick up some strange things as "grenades" for the next day's battle.
Little Yanyan still just played catching grasshoppers.
He is very good at catching grasshoppers and the children all like to play with him.
Because little Yanyan doesn't eat grasshoppers, and their favorite thing to do is to roast grasshoppers.
It was the first time Huazi walked among a group of children. He was nervous and anxious.
He was afraid that other children would know what he had done before and would stop playing with him.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw a brown fruit being handed to him.
"Good morning, dog."
When Huazi turned around, he saw a fair and pretty little face.
It's that beautiful little sister!
But when he saw her, Huazi remembered the time when he and his brothers gave mulberry fruits to Yanyan.
"I'm... sorry!" Huazi said with some shame and ran away.
Little Zhaozhao tilted his head, as if he didn't understand what was wrong with him.
