"Auntie, don't worry." Lin Yan straightened his chest and assured, "My brother and I will definitely take care of my younger brother."
Su Jin touched the two brothers' heads, and they left the Lu family.
"Ayi, my sister-in-law has taken great care of the two children. Huo Huo is also very smart. I originally planned to send Huo Huo to kindergarten this year," Su Jin sighed. "The school in the family compound has been largely unaffected, but the families have become more active, and the children are inevitably affected."
"Wife, by the time we move back home, the child should be old enough to go to kindergarten." Lu Shiyi likes his son very much, "but he's probably going to be very naughty."
"It would be better if my parents weren't called in every day." Su Jin sighed.
In the family compound, many boys’ parents are called in every day. After the military wives go to school, they will come back and beat the children.
Military kids always fight in groups. Kids from the same compound will unite against the outside world at school.
"I guess it will be the same!" Lu Shiyi didn't think there was anything wrong with boys fighting.
Su Jin glared at him angrily. The families with whom she had a good relationship all had boys, and Hanhan was the youngest boy among them. Even Huo Huo knew that he would take Hanhan out to play in the future.
"Ayi, you have to go to school every day from now on. You have to go by yourself. I don't want to be scolded." Su Jin frowned, and didn't quite understand the feelings of the children in the orphanage.
Lu Shiyi laughed out loud: "Wife, the military family compound is different from the outside world. The military kids are divided according to the adult units. Children of the same age have been playing together in the compound since they were young. If one of them is bullied, these military kids will unite to face the bully."
Su Jin listened to Lu Shiyi talking about his childhood friends. Even now, everyone still helps each other.
"Ayi, do the team members often go to school together?" Su Jin covered her mouth and laughed.
"There are more military families going there, but the team members will go together when they have time." Lu Shiyi saw Lin Zitao leading several team members to the school, and heard that Lin Yan and his friends had been involved in a group fight and their parents were called in.
At that time, Lu Shiyi thought that when his children grew up, they would also go to school in groups to be scolded.
The boys were too naughty and quarrels could often be heard in the family compound. Except for a few families that favored boys over girls, the rest of the team members valued girls.
After lunch, Lu Shiyi accompanied Su Jin and her son for a nap. In his daze, he looked at the mother and son in his arms, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Outside the yard, two team members came down from the mountain and wandered at the gate of Lu Shiyi's yard.
"Minister Lu, can you come out for a moment?" After the two stayed for nearly 20 minutes, they seemed to have made up their minds and called out to Lu Shiyi loudly.
"Ayi!" Su Jin was awakened by the noise outside. She pushed Lu Shiyi and asked him to go out and see, "Someone is looking for you."
Su Jin reached out and touched Hanhan's diaper, and the little guy didn't pee.
"Wife, I'll go see what's going on. You stay here and take a nap with our son." Lu Shiyi never wanted to get up. If it weren't for his sense of responsibility, he would probably really be lazy.
Su Jin nudged him: "I remember Sister Hu gave birth. Should we go and see her?"
"Let's talk about it when you get back." Lu Shiyi tucked the quilt into her, changed into winter training clothes, and walked outside.
Lu Shiyi opened the gate and found that they were the husbands of the two family members he had met in the county town. They came here for training as a reserve team, coming in the morning and leaving in the evening.
"Captain Lu, we'd like to apply to return to the family compound for training." The two team members exchanged glances. "Our families didn't follow us into the mountains, and it's almost the end of the year. We're worried that heavy snow will block our descent."
"Okay, you can go to the political commissar to apply, but you can't go into the mountains for training anymore." Lu Shiyi stated the premise.
The two men hesitated. When they returned home the day before yesterday, their wives cried and made a fuss, hoping that they would go to the family compound.
"Is there a quarrel at home?" Lu Shiyi understood the tempers of the two men. If the quarrel at home had not been beyond their control, the two men would not have thought of going down the mountain.
The two could only nod. "The situation in the family compound has been delicate lately, and the wives of several political commissars are divided into two opinions. They were persuaded."
Lu Shiyi sighed and said, "Even if you go back now, it's too late to save the relationship. You both just got married and don't even have children. I'll give you one more day to think about whether you want to stay in the mountains for your future or go back for your relationship."
The two team members knew what it meant to go down the mountain. They had both been in the military camp for nearly ten years and were not family members who had just joined the army.
"Commander Lu, we want to divorce, but we can't do so for the time being!" The two team members chose their future. Their wives were married to their families, but they had an unpleasant relationship with her in-laws, so they came to join the army.
"Think about it. Once you make a decision, you can't regret it." Lu Shiyi reached out and patted the two on the shoulders. "Now it's up to you to decide whether you are firm in your stance. Even if you make a choice, you can't complain to anyone."
"Commander Lu, we've already thought about this. When they were in the village, they had their parents' support, so they didn't get into trouble. But since they joined the army, they've had problems every day, and it's no use trying to persuade them." The two team members laughed bitterly. "When Aunt Liu was in the courtyard, she often went to mediate with Sister Yun, but they only got along for a couple of days."
"Minister Lu, we will write a letter home. Our parents will not blame us when they know what they did." Both of them were sensible and believed that following Wu Jun, Lu Shiyi and Lin Zitao was the right thing to do.
The three of them were using their own strength to protect the team members, and at the critical moment, the two of them did not want to hinder everyone.
"Well, if you need to, go to the office to apply for a phone." Lu Shiyi didn't want the two of them to go down the mountain. The two family members were obviously brainwashed.
After seeing the two off, Lu Shiyi closed the gate and was glad that Su Jin followed him into the mountains.
