Chapter 120 Chapter 120 Do you know who my father is?

Lin Yue was curious about what Xiao Liu had been doing, so he asked Zhang Yuandong, but he said nothing. Fortunately, Xiao Liu came back soon and whispered something in Zhang Yuandong's ear. Zhang Yuandong nodded and asked him to sit down and eat together.

Seeing them being so secretive, Lin Yue became even more curious. Zhang Yuandong refused to say anything, so she had to ask Xiao Liu: "What are you two whispering about? Is there something important?"

Xiao Liu looked at the steam in the pot, his eyes glowing green. Lin Yue had no doubt at all that if he gave the order, Xiao Liu would definitely act like a hungry wolf out of a cage and perform a show for her that would sweep away everything in his path.

He reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the table and said with a smile, "It's nothing. If I'm not mistaken, you'll know what it is after we finish this meal."

Xiao Liu was still wrong. Before dinner started, someone came to the door. The person who came was the woman who had been flirting with Lin Yue downstairs just now. She came with her man. The man was the battalion commander under Zhang Anbang, named Sun Xianliang, and his wife was Zhu Chunmei. They both looked to be around 30 years old. Battalion commander Sun looked honest, but his wife Zhu Chunmei had a mean look on her face, and she gave off an aura of "I'm not easy to mess with."

Captain Sun apologized sincerely, and forced Zhu Chunmei and Lin Yue to apologize. Seeing that their family was getting ready to eat, he did not stay any longer, put down the things in his hands, and left in a hurry.

Zhang Yuandong supported her and helped her to relieve her stress. Lin Yue was very happy. However, she was also a little worried that Zhang Yuandong's behavior would have an impact on him. She asked, "Isn't this what you did just now? Is it okay to do this?"

Xiao Liu blinked his eyes, looking puzzled: "What could have happened? The regiment commander just asked me to deliver something to our battalion commander, but he didn't do anything else! Sun Xianliang and his silly wife came to apologize, maybe they just knew they were wrong, and it has nothing to do with us. Although I just gossiped with our battalion commander outside, and regiment commander Zhang happened to hear it, it has nothing to do with us! The regiment commander did not distort the facts, and he did not use his power to suppress others. No one can say anything about our regiment commander. They came to apologize voluntarily, and no one forced them!"

Lin Yue wanted to give these two a thumbs up. Although she had only been here for a short time, she knew Zhang Anbang's temper. He usually loved to compare with Zhang Yuandong. This might be something that everyone in the army knew.

Zhu Chunmei has been mean to Lin Yue more than once. Although there are many gossiping women in the family compound, they all gossip behind people's backs. There are very few people who would be so mean to someone in front of him like Zhu Chunmei.

Captain Sun thought he had guessed his superior's thoughts correctly, and did not avoid his wife's actions at all. He knew very well what kind of person his wife was, and might even intervene when it came to other people. Whenever Zhu Chunmei talked to Lin Yue, he would pretend not to hear her as long as Lin Yue did not insist.

But Captain Sun still didn't understand. It was true that Zhang Anbang always competed with Zhang Yuandong, but he basically lost every time. What he feared more was that others would say he was narrow-minded. If he couldn't win, he would let his soldiers make trouble. Xiao Liu seized on this mentality of his and deliberately pulled his captain to block the road where Zhang Anbang was passing. He told him about this matter and angrily said, "Why do the people in the anti-aircraft artillery regiment always pick on Captain Zhang's family to bully!"

Sure enough, Zhang Anbang took the last sentence to heart and took the initiative to talk to Sun Xianliang quickly.

After Xiao Liu finished explaining, he finally moved his eyes back to the dining table.

Lin Yue prepared a hot pot today. She had been cooking the pork ribs she bought from the market this morning for the whole morning. In addition to the pork ribs and pork, she also bought a chicken, as well as Chinese cabbage, lotus root, corn and tofu, all of which are common vegetables in the market.

But the meat coupons issued each month were limited, and even if she used up all the coupons, it would not be enough for a hot pot meal. She had originally prepared lamb slices, but because Xiao Liu was also eating together, she was afraid that she would not be able to explain, so she put it away.

At this time, she was very happy that she had bought a chicken. Buying chickens does not require a meat ticket, but there were no broilers at this time, and few people would be willing to sell chickens that lay eggs for themselves, even in the commune, so she was very lucky to be able to buy chickens today.

She originally planned to cook this chicken tonight, but now she has made it into chicken balls, chicken strips and chicken slices.

Seeing that the pot on the beehive coal stove had begun to boil and the aroma of large bones wafted into the house, Xiao Liu's mouth was secreting mucus frantically, just waiting for an instruction to let his sister-in-law and several children see how fast they were as a group.

Zhang Yuandong glanced over and reminded, "Be careful, don't scare my wife and children with your behavior in the cafeteria again."

Lin Yue found it funny. It was not like she had not hosted Zhang Yuandong's comrades for dinner before. How could it be as exaggerated as he said?

Facts have proven that this is not an exaggeration at all. Lin Yue could see that Xiao Liu had tried his best to be restrained, but his appetite was still astonishingly large, and his speed was too fast. Often, the meat would disappear as soon as it was put into the pot.

Xiao Liu felt embarrassed by the stares from the kids. He rubbed the back of his head and laughed awkwardly: "Haha, this is the speed of a soldier!"

He wanted to hold back, but his hand had its own consciousness and would not listen to his commands.

When Lingling and Wanli heard this, they also rushed to grab their chopsticks. After the meal, Xiao Liu enjoyed the meal to his heart's content, but the two children were full.

After dinner, little Liu rushed to the kitchen to wash the dishes, then he touched the heads of the children one by one and said loudly, "Little ones, Daddy Liu is leaving now. I'll come to play with you next time!"

Lingling and Wanli looked at each other and said, "Okay, Uncle Xiao Liu, we'll look for you next time we have work!"

Xiao Liu pretended to be angry: "Okay, you two, when you need me, I'm Xiao Liu's dad, and when you're done, I'm Xiao Liu's uncle, right? I've remembered that!"

Zhang Yuandong smiled unkindly: "Go away, go away, don't worry about my child."

The children ate too much, and Lin Yue didn't dare let them take a nap right away, so he took them downstairs to finish dyeing the remaining pieces of cloth.

Before lunch, this place attracted many adults to come and watch the excitement. Now, a group of children gathered around, standing by and watching Wanli and Lingling's movements with envy. Every time a leaf was peeled off, the children would let out a long exclamation.

That's right, Lin Yue handed the afternoon work to Wanli and Lingling. The two children loved this kind of handicraft activities, and they kept making jingles. Because they knew they were holding their own clothes, they were extra careful, fearing that they would ruin their new clothes if they were not careful.

Because Lin Yue was around, the children were not very relaxed and just watched obediently. As soon as Lin Yue left with the basin, a group of children immediately surrounded Ling Ling and Wan Li.

Some of the people who were close to them had already surrounded Ling Ling, who seemed to be the easier person to talk to, and started asking questions, "Will the color on this dress really not fade? It won't wash away in a short time, will it? My mother can wash my clothes clean if they get dirty!"

Ling Ling shook her head: "I don't know either. My mother has never done it before. But she has taken it back to wash it now. We will know tomorrow."

Another kid tugged at Lingling's sleeve and begged, "Lingling, I have a khaki skirt, it's so ugly. Can you print a flower on it for me? I'll trade it with you for candy!"

The person who spoke was Diandian, Lingling's only female good friend. Although the children living in the family compound have no worries about food and drink, few people are willing to spend money to send girls to school, and even fewer can go to kindergarten. Diandian is lucky, because her mother also has a job and has no time to take care of her, so she sent her to kindergarten. But more girls still don't have the opportunity to go to school even if no one takes care of them. At the age of four or five, they are already old enough to help with housework and take care of their younger brothers and sisters.

Lingling cherished her only female friend and agreed without hesitation.

When the other children heard this, they also wanted to speak up, but the twin brothers spoke up first: "We want one too. We want the same taro leaves and ladybugs as you. Please print one for us too!"

Lingling tilted her head, waiting for him to say the rest, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't hear anything. She asked in confusion, "Then what?"

The twin brothers were stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Then, then we still want those long leaves, but we don't want the flowers, like a girl."

Wanli sneered like his father and asked, "Why should we help you? Diandian is Lingling's best friend, and she is willing to exchange White Rabbit candy for him. What about you?"

The twin brothers looked at each other and said confidently, "You are the dragon and the phoenix, and we are twins. We are the same, and even more powerful than you. You should play with us, be our best friends, and listen to me!"

Lingling immediately pinched her waist and entered into battle mode. Wanli pulled her and said to the two brothers: "We don't like you, we don't want to be friends with you, and we don't want to help you get clothes, even in exchange for things!"

The two brothers were so angry. Before Zhang Linghan and Zhang Wanli came, they were the most popular twins in the family compound, but now it was different. The children no longer called themselves twins, and the adults no longer focused on them. They were already six years old, an age when they knew everything, and they were already dissatisfied with everyone focusing on other children. Seeing Wanli rejecting them, they shouted, "Do you know who my father is? My father is a teacher, more powerful than your father. I want my father to fire your father!"

The older twin was named Zhou Zhenfeng and the younger one was named Zhou Zhenmao. They were the sons of the commander of the 42nd Division, and their mother was Sun Xiuli. Although Sun Xiuli was the second child, she was very stable because she had the twins, so she was very spoiled by them and made them very bad-tempered.

Wanli rolled his eyes at the two brothers, then took Lingling and left. He didn't want to care who their father was. He was still young and couldn't understand anyway.
