Chapter 201 Chapter 201 One Year

Tang Sisi used to be a cultural soldier. Although Lin Yue didn't know what she did specifically, she was on the radio every day. Lin Yue had heard that although her voice was very nice, her Mandarin was not very standard. He didn't know why she was so confident and even wanted to teach Sisi how to broadcast.

But she didn't say much, just lowered her head and asked Sisi in her arms, "Sisi, what do you think, do you want to learn broadcasting from Aunt Tang?"

Sisi shook her head like a rattle. "No, I want to learn to dance like Sister Lingling!"

Such a young child already has his own hobbies. When Lingling and Wanli were her age, they didn't know what they wanted to learn. They just absorbed whatever the adults taught them. It was only after long-term observation that Lin Yue understood the two children's general hobbies.

This child is not precocious, but perhaps because she has been raised by older children since she was young, she knows much more than Lingling and Wanli did at that time. She asked curiously, "Why does Sisi want to learn to dance?"

Sisi climbed down from her legs and stood on the open ground. She lifted her legs like her sister and did a few simple movements. She giggled and said, "You dance beautifully!"

He didn't stop even after he finished speaking, but continued to sing military songs and jump around.

She had seen Lingling practice dancing many times and usually liked to learn from her. However, because she was still too young, Lin Yue had never thought about it in this regard before. Now that she had watched carefully, she realized that her movements might not be so standard, but they were not just random either.

Moreover, this child might really have a talent for music. He could already sing many military songs and was the only one in his family who could sing in tune.

Lin Yue clapped and encouraged, "Our Sisi danced really well!"

She only learned dancing for a few years when she was very young, so she couldn't give any suggestions. We have to wait for Wang Tingting to come back and listen to the advice of professionals.

She observed Lingling's expression with her peripheral vision, worried that Lingling would feel uncomfortable, but it turned out that she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She smiled sincerely, her eyes rolling around, and it was obvious that she was up to some evil intentions.

Lin Yue suddenly felt that he was worrying in vain. Lingling's dream was to become a soldier, but she didn't tell her because she was afraid of upsetting Aunt Tingting, so she insisted on practicing dancing until now.

According to her own ideas, she should find a hidden master to teach her unique martial arts, just like in the stories her mother told her, so that she can become a great hero and kill a Japanese soldier with one punch.

Now this silly girl took the initiative to stand up and say that she wanted to dance. She didn't know how happy she was in her heart.

Seeing her laughing smugly, Lin Yue flicked her on the head in annoyance and sent the children away to wash their hands and eat.

Lingling ran away giggling. Wanli held Sisi's hand and walked towards the bathroom together. Only Little Mushroom was left standing in the room.

His little hands nervously tugged at his thick cotton jacket, his face showing a confused and somewhat pitiful expression.

He was not as old as his brothers and sisters, nor did he suddenly become good at languages ​​like Sisi. Just now, when his mother was talking to them, he couldn't get a word in. Now he felt that something was wrong and felt a little aggrieved, but unfortunately he couldn't even explain it.

Lin Yue noticed that he seemed to be in a low mood, and just when he was about to ask him what was wrong, the boy turned around and ran away. Lin Yue didn't take it seriously and went into the house to see Xiao Xixi who was still sleeping.

After Zhang Yuandong came back, Lin Yue told him roughly what happened today. If "Zhang Yuhui" hadn't happened to be there, and was hiding from her so obviously, she wouldn't have thought too much about it, at most she just didn't like Tang Sisi. But now she had a bad feeling in her heart, this was a military area, and they were also border defense troops, if they were really infiltrated by the enemy, then it would be a big deal.

She said unreasonably, "Zhang Yulan will never let me into her house. Otherwise, why don't you just go to her house and find that Zhang Yuhui. Then I can see if that person is her, and I can give up."

Zhang Yuandong said helplessly: "Do you think I don't want to? I went to his house a few days ago, but when she heard someone coming, she rushed into the house and never came out again. Li Zhiguo said she was timid and didn't dare to meet strangers."

Lin Yue glared: "When did you go? How come I don't know?"

"Well, there was a document that I was supposed to deliver to their group, and I accidentally brought it home. Their group leader was not in the camp, so I delivered it to his home."

The military has strict discipline, why would they let you take a document home? It must be something unimportant. Since it was unimportant, why did he rush to deliver it to someone's house? Lin Yue patted him, "Aren't you afraid that he will suspect you?"

Zhang Yuandong touched his nose and said without hesitation, "If he suspects me, then he can do that. Anyway, whether he suspects me or not, it won't stop him from setting a trap for me."

If he had not been suddenly transferred here last spring, the position of regiment leader would have belonged to Li Zhiguo. Therefore, although Li Zhiguo usually pretended to be gentle and amiable, he had already hated Zhang Yuandong secretly.

As the New Year approaches, relations between the two sides of the river remain very tense, and Zhang Yuandong spent this New Year on the border.

Perhaps it is natural for children to look forward to the New Year. Lingling and Wanli have been counting the days to the New Year since their birthdays. They secretly saved up their savings with their younger siblings, thinking of buying fireworks, firecrackers, candies and snacks during the New Year.

Last year they bought a lot of small firecrackers, waiting to show them off during the Chinese New Year, but unfortunately they were confiscated by Lin Yue before the end of the year. During that time, the children in the family compound cried and no one was happy.

Lingling and Wanli were finally coaxed into a good mood, and they had already made up their minds to buy more next New Year. Unfortunately, their wish could not be realized this year.

The Spring Festival holiday was abolished last year, and all New Year-related activities have become a bad custom. The border troops are not so strict, but they still dare not set off firecrackers.

The only thing that was still preserved was probably the couplets. The couplets in the family compound were all war slogans, such as "I will not offend others unless they offend me, but if they offend me, I will definitely offend them" and "The military and civilians are united as one, who in the world can defeat us?" Even the sentence "The war will not stop on the 30th, and it will continue on the 1st" seems to reflect the inner thoughts of our soldiers at that time. ①②③

Lin Yue sewed new cotton jackets for each of the children and prepared a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, so they secretly celebrated the New Year at home. Liu Fang came over during his break, and secretly took Lingling and Wanli out without telling Sisi and Xiao Mushroom.

No one knew where the three of them had gone, and they didn't return home until the afternoon. The two children were mysterious and excited. Lin Yue asked them where they had been, but they didn't say anything, as if they had a little secret. Liu Fang gave Lin Yue a look and whispered to her, "I took them to a nearby village and set off some small firecrackers."

The control over the New Year in the village is indeed much more relaxed, and most people celebrate the New Year secretly. Especially since this place is remote, as long as the noise is not too serious, no one will care if the children set off small firecrackers.

After spending the day together, Lingling and Wanli became very attached to this uncle and no longer felt strange to him. As it was getting dark, the two were reluctant to let him go. Liu Fang promised several times that he would come to see them next time before they were willing to let him go.

Lin Yue, under the pretext of sending someone off, implicitly pointed out Zhang Yulan's home to him.

Liu Fang looked around calmly, then followed her slowly on his horse as if nothing had happened.

Lin Yue sent the man to the gate of the military area and told him to bring his partner with him next time. Liu Fang was usually unreliable, but surprisingly he was quite innocent. When he heard about the "partner", his face turned red with embarrassment, and he rode away quickly. No matter how Lin Yue called him from behind, he did not turn back.

It was getting dark and the snow was thick, so it was not easy for him to come here. Lin Yue wanted to remind him to call the troops after returning to the dormitory, but he didn't expect that he was so thin-skinned and ran away so quickly.

Lin Yue muttered a few words with amusement, but there was nothing she could do but to call the Public Security Bureau at the right time.

Heavy snow blocked the mountains in winter, making it difficult to enter and exit. For convenience and safety reasons, the leaders extended the rotation time of the border troops. That is to say, Zhang Yuandong might not return from the border until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The heavy snow also kept most people at home. Even when the soldiers were breaking ice to fish, few people came to watch.

Lin Yue never had the chance to see Zhang Yulan's "sister" again. After the first month of the lunar year, when Lingling and Wanli both entered primary school, she didn't know whether the other was fat or thin. She thought about reporting the matter, but without evidence, the leader would not agree to investigate and would probably think she was making trouble for no reason.

March is already spring, but the black market is still covered in white. The snow outside is still very thick. If you are not careful, you will fall into a snow pit.

Lingling and Wanli had just become elementary school students, and within a few days they showed signs of disliking studying.

The primary school is different from the Yuhong class. The students go to and from school on time. It gets dark early in the afternoon, so the school lights are on for classes. ⑤

The brother and sister carried big schoolbags every day, went to school before dawn, and returned home after dark. It seemed like they had grown up a lot in an instant.

But growing up also has its price, and the two children have fewer smiles on their faces. Lin Yue was a little worried, and after trying to persuade them indirectly, he simply asked directly: "I see that you have been listless these days, are you unhappy in school?"

Lingling said absentmindedly, "No, it's just boring. The teacher is very fierce. We have learned everything he taught, but he doesn't allow us to do anything else. If we don't obey, he will hit our palms. Xu Jianshe said that teachers are all stinking old nines. If this happened outside, I would definitely be criticized every day. Mom, is this true?

And… I saw a big kid bullying a teacher the other day, but the teacher didn’t put up a fight and kept her head down, as if, as if she was the student and the big kid was the teacher.”

Most of the soldiers in the army are from rural areas, and their families are naturally from rural areas as well, with low education levels. The teachers in the schools are basically hired from outside the military region.

They know the situation outside, and because they are dealing with children of military personnel, some teachers may shrink back and even be outshined by the students.
