064
Xiaonuo has been in a particularly low mood recently because one day when she came home from school, she found that there was an extra person at home. When her mother introduced her to her, she said: This is Yuji. He will live in our house in the future and play and go to school with you. He will be your older brother, so be a good girl and get along well with your brother.
Her father even hugged her and explained to her: Your Uncle Qin and his family died unexpectedly, and Yu Ji is the only one left in their family. Mom and Dad adopted him after discussing it, and from now on he is Mom and Dad's son and your biological brother.
Haven’t you always wanted a brother? Now that your wish has come true, shouldn’t we be happy?
Happy, she is not happy at all!
She even privately decided to never care about Qin Yuji again. It was his fault that he ran to her house and snatched his parents' things without discussing it with her. She hated Qin Yuji the most!
Xiaonuo felt sad and complained to her friends, but when they heard that her family had adopted a new person, they all vaguely expressed their longing for their family and wanted to snatch her parents away.
Even her favorite older sister said to her with envy: "I also want to be Uncle Xiao's child, so that I can be spoiled like a little princess and don't have to work as hard as I do now."
Xiao Nuo: ...I treat you as my friends and sisters, but you only want to snatch my parents away from me!
Xiao Li really dotes on Xiao Nuo. He is afraid that the child will melt if he holds him in his mouth, and afraid that the child will break if he holds him in his palm. Moreover, he is not as deep and reserved as the traditional fathers nowadays. He is serious and does not know how to express his feelings when facing his children.
When he is with Xiaonuo, he likes to express his love for her, and often tells Xiaonuo: Mom and Dad love you, you are the best gift God has given us.
In the eyes of the children, Xiao Li is approachable, an elder as well as a friend. Such fatherly love makes them often look at Xiao Nuo with envy, envying her for having a loving father.
Unlike their father who was always silent in front of them and could never say a few words to them, when they learned that Uncle Xiao's family had adopted a child, many children expressed their desire to be adopted. Of course, in the end they all suffered a beating.
It was time to go home from school. Xiaonuo's little head, which had been drooping like a frost-bitten eggplant, suddenly became energetic. She put on her backpack and ran out. She had made an appointment with Qin Yuji to fight today, and she couldn't be late.
"Xiao Nuo, Xiao Nuo, wait for me..." Dong Wenbo, as always, was in the same boat with her and chased after her with his schoolbag on his back.
The conflicts between children are not as complicated as those between adults. When they have problems, they either fight verbally (over snacks and toys) or physically to resolve them privately. Although the solutions are simple and ridiculous, the effects are surprisingly good.
The three of them agreed to compete in the school playground today. As long as Qin Yuji beats both of them, Xiaonuo will recognize the other party and let him stay in his house temporarily.
The two of them were in cahoots, with no sense of shame at all for the majority bullying the minority. Xiao Nuo even argued speciously, "I'm younger than you and a girl, so I should ask for help!"
Personnel from both sides are in place and the battle is about to break out.
Xiao Nuo ran over first and bit Qin Yuji's arm. After biting, he said, "I told you to bite my dad, but you can't bully my dad!"
"You're still competing with me for my parents. I'll beat you to death today..." Xiaonuo was the only one moving on the entire battlefield. Qin Yuji didn't fight back even when he was hurt by Xiaonuo. Dong Wenbo didn't dare to intervene when he saw that he didn't move, so he just stared at the two of them from the side.
When Xiao Nuo was tired of fighting, he looked up at Qin Yuji, who had been bullied by him. At this time, there was a big tooth mark on Qin Yuji's arm, which was purple and bruised, and some of the ground was bleeding. There were no visible scars on his body, but his clothes were a little wrinkled.
Xiao Nuo frowned in dissatisfaction: "I hit you, why didn't you fight back? You have somewhere to go, don't you want to stay in my house?"
Qin Yuji's face was pale, he stood there with gritted teeth, pretending to be strong and not saying a word. He knew that he was different now than before. In the past, he could fight with Xiaonuo and the others freely because they were equals and he had his own father. But now he had no family and could only choose to live under someone else's roof. He was afraid that if he fought back, Uncle Xiao would kick him out of the house, and then he would really be a homeless child.
It is said that difficult situations can make people grow rapidly. After experiencing sudden changes such as the departure of family members one after another, Qin Yuji's character became more and more stable, and she seemed to have grown up overnight.
"Hmph, boring!" Xiao Nuo was so angry when he saw that he looked like he was being bullied. After punching him a few more times, he suddenly said, "Forget it, I won't bully you anymore."
"Actually, it's not bad for you to be my brother. Now that you're my brother, you have to take good care of me and be filial to your parents. Got it, Xiao Yuji?"
"My father said that he would let me be your child husband and marry you in the future."
"Hahaha~ Your household registration is in our family's book, and you still want to marry me. My dad said that people whose names are in the same book are relatives and can't get married. Marriage is a deformed love and it's wrong." In fact, Xiaonuo didn't understand what marriage was, but Xiaoli often hugged her these days to give her scientific knowledge and told her that they were a family and relatives because they were registered in the same book.
Xiao Nuo felt that he knew more than others, and felt a little proud. He put his hands on his waist and said to the boy who knew nothing beside him: "You have already registered your name in my family. From now on, my father is your father. You must remember this clearly. Also, I want to go home and tell them that you said you wanted to marry me."
"Xiao Yuji, you're done, just wait for your beating..." Xiao Nuo said and skipped home to complain.
Dong Wenbo waved his fist at the stunned Xiao Yuji, "Xiao Nuo is my wife!" Then he chased Xiao Nuo and left.
After the two left, Xiao Yuji was the only one left standing there blankly on the playground. He didn't quite understand where things were going. Did Xiao Nuo accept him?
But the wife his father found for him seemed to have been lost as well.
Captain Xiao and his wife adopted an orphan from Longgang Village. This matter has recently become a hot topic in the army and the family area.
When Qian Dafu heard this, he sneered and said that he didn't want a boy. But he adopted one anyway because he had no boys.
Haha, you pretend like you really don't care about passing on the family line, but in the end, everyone is the same. How can such a person have the nerve to scold me!
If Qian Dafu was dissatisfied, the military wives in the compound were full of gossip. After learning about this matter, they often gathered together secretly and said, "Do you think Captain Xiao and his wife can't have children?"
"How do you say that?"
"Look, they've only had Xiaonuo for so many years. They're both so young. If they weren't sick, they could have just given birth to a child themselves. Why would they adopt someone else's child? And I heard Xiaonuo was a premature baby. I guess Doctor Wang must have hurt himself while giving birth to her, so she can't have another child."
"That makes sense. I was wondering why Captain Xiao was so nice to a girl. It turns out he knows that this is the only child he will have in his life. That's not hard to understand." Not to mention that many people felt that they had discovered a big secret. When they saw Xiao Li and his wife, there was always a hint of sympathy in their eyes, which made Xiao Li and his wife a little confused.
When Xiao Li returned home again with strange looks on his face, he was greeted by Xiao Nuo who looked very happy.
霄诺抱着他的大腿，大声说：“爸爸，霄雨霁说以后娶我，他做错了事情，你快去打他。”说完还冲着一旁再让王雪梅处理伤口的人努嘴，一副非常欠揍的表情。
He was a little surprised that Xiao Nuo could change his mind and accept the other party so quickly. However, when he saw the bite marks on Xiao Yuji's body, he felt that it was as it should be. He smiled and patted Xiao Nuo's head, "Did you bully your brother? Look at how you bit him."
"I didn't. Who told him to bite Dad? I was just avenging you."
"Hahaha, you're worthy of being my daughter. You can come up with such a twisted logic. Well done! Hahaha..."
Wang Xuemei saw the children around her turn pale when Xiaoli and his daughter were fighting. Her eyes were filled with anticipation and envy. She scolded them, "Xiaoli, how do you educate your children? And you, Xiaonuo, if you fight with your brother next time, I'll teach you a lesson. Get out of here and stand in the corner as punishment."
Then he said to Xiao Yuji beside him: "Yuji, remember this too. We are father and mother, Xiaonuo is your younger sister, and a brother cannot marry his younger sister. If you do this again, you will be punished by standing in the corner."
Xiao Yuji looked at Xiao Nuo, who was sitting obediently in the corner with his back to them, and nodded: "I understand."
Xiao Li also reacted at this moment. He walked over and picked up Xiao Yuji, put him on his lap and slapped him twice on the butt. "After applying the medicine, you have to stand there obediently. If you don't learn your lesson next time, you will go to the army and run laps with your uncles."
The medicine Wang Xuemei had just applied had all gotten onto him because of Xiao Li's actions. Wang Xuemei pointed at the corner and said, "You go stand over there too!"
Seeing that her face looked strange, Xiao Li obediently went over and stood next to Xiao Nuo. The father and daughter didn't care at all and even secretly winked at each other. After Xiao Yuji finished applying the medicine, she also joined their team.
So in the days to come, the three of them could often be seen in the corner of Xiao's house.
…… …… ……
"Lao Xiao, congratulations!"
“Congratulations!”
Xiao Li and Dong Shiyi were given a transfer order years ago, which read: After research and decision by the Standing Committee of the XXXX Party Committee, Xiao Li, the former commander of the 8147th Regiment, and Dong Shiyi, the former political commissar of the 8147th Regiment, were appointed as the commander and political commissar of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the 38th Army Group of the People's Liberation Army... There was also a big red seal at the end.
Xiao Li got a promotion! He was transferred across military regions to the 38th Group Army in Province D.
Although the two men's military ranks remained the same as colonels, their ranks and positions did change. Xiao Li also moved from the regimental level to the deputy division level, becoming the highest military commander at the brigade level.
Brigade Commander! Xiao Li read the transfer order over and over again, his eyes red with excitement, the corners of his mouth curling up uncontrollably. His right hand unconsciously reached out to the equally excited person next to him and twisted it hard until he heard a "ripping" sound. Then he said, "Old Dong, I've really made it. I've been promoted to deputy division commander. I'll soon catch up with my old man!"
The old man Xiao Li was talking about was his adopted father Xiao Xinghua, who was a full master five years ago.
"Why are you pinching me? Get out of my way! I've become more successful now, but I'm not as excited as you are. Look how flattered you are! I can't bear to look at you!" Dong Shiyi said this without a trace of disgust on his face. He looked at the excited Xiao Li with a smile and said solemnly, "Thank you for this time!"
"Well, that's nothing. We're in this together. Helping you is also helping me! Besides, my old man only mentioned you. Your promotion is entirely due to your own excellence."
The reason why Xiao Li and Dong Shiyi were transferred at this critical juncture was, firstly, because several military district leaders in Province D were sentenced to labor camps, and secondly, because the relationship between China and the Soviet Union had become increasingly tense recently, the army was in urgent need of capable and experienced commanders to guard the border between the two countries to prevent conflicts.
The original candidates were not Xiao Li and the other one, but Xiao Li was lucky. When he went out in autumn, he met a fellow villager who was holding a child in his arms. The child was starving to death. Xiao Li couldn't bear it and gave a steamed bun to the two of them.
After seeing the food, the fellow villager gave Xiao Li a dried small green algae. He didn't care and threw it away casually when he got home. It fell into the sink. A few days later, Xiao Li found that the sink had "grown hair" and it was multiplying very quickly. After asking Wang Xuemei, he found out that it was Chlorella, which is edible.
So he remembered the chlorella meal replacement movement during the famine years and hurriedly called the old man. Later, through Grandpa Xiao, he told his superiors that research by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences showed that chlorella is edible and has strong reproductive ability. The next day, when he went to □□ to attend a meeting, he strongly recommended chlorella as an emergency food for □□ disaster relief.
In this way, Xiao Li, the "discoverer", once again caught the attention of the superiors. Several military leaders looked at Xiao Li's information and found that he was more suitable than the originally selected personnel. In addition, the transfer order had not been issued in time, so the original candidate was finally replaced by Xiao Li.
So, Xiao Li snatched someone else's promotion opportunity without knowing anything.
As for Dong Shiyi, it was because Xiao Li mentioned to Grandpa Xiao that he took good care of him and it was easy for him to work with him, so Grandpa Xiao mentioned it briefly during the meeting.
Moreover, Dong Shiyi himself is also very outstanding. He has participated in many battles and is a young and valuable talent that the army urgently needs. After careful consideration, the commander of the D Military Region directly contacted the commander of the S Province Military Region to ask for him.
Xiao Li and the other man were the treasures of the commander of the S Province Military District. He didn't show off because he was afraid that someone would find out and snatch them away. The commander of the S Province Military District refused to let them go, and finally the commander of the D Military District exchanged them for two division commanders.
The S Province Military District lost two precious children at once, and the commander of the military district was heartbroken. The commander of the D Military District laughed and said, "I traded two full-division-level commanders for your future deputy-division-level commanders. It's my loss, a huge loss!"
Although he said so, everyone knew in their hearts that the future achievements of the two would be higher than those of the two division commanders. After all, Xiao Li and the other man were young and promising, and they were highly educated talents that were in short supply in the army. As long as they performed well and did not make any mistakes, they would have a promising future.
Xiao Li and the other two, who were thousands of miles away, were even more impressed, and said: It is indeed easier to get things done when you have someone in the court!
Indeed, if Xiao Li had not been lucky this time, the two of them would have had a hard time holding on if Old Man Xiao had not mentioned it casually.
Xiao Li was so happy that after returning home, he shamelessly held Wang Xuemei's face and kissed her loudly, making a loud "mua~" sound. Then he said proudly, "This kind of luck is unstoppable!"
Wang Xuemei laughed and said, "I guess it's just shit luck."
"It's shit luck, if I could, I'd step on shit every day..."
Wang Xuemei: ...This person is so disgusting!
