When Qiu Yuling's meal was ready, Li Qingju, Zhou Chuanwu, Qiu Dahe and others came back together.
"I can smell the aroma of chili from far away and have been craving it for a long time." Zhou Chuanwu and Li Qingju are from the same hometown and have similar tastes. They can't wait to wash their hands and eat.
Qiu Yuling had already made countless plans in her mind while cooking, and now she told him everything she saw and heard in the morning.
It was fine for others, but Zhou Chuanwu's expression remained relatively calm from beginning to end. It was obvious that he had known what was going on from the beginning.
"At the end of May this year, the border was completely sealed, but they refused to give up and continued to incite the ignorant masses, issuing illegal 'expatriate certificates' beyond their authority..."
Huh? So it had already happened. No wonder Zhou Chuanwu wasn't thrilled just now. Qiu Yuling thought she'd gotten away with something, and while she felt relieved, she secretly laughed at her own ignorance. She'd been here for so long, yet she knew nothing about this major event.
However, Zhou Chuanwu's heart was not as calm as he appeared. He did not expect that it was just as his superiors had expected. Many lawless elements who claimed to be pro-Soviet but actually disrupted social order had infiltrated the military. It was time to investigate them thoroughly.
Qiu Dahe didn't say much throughout the whole process, but he looked at Qiu Yuling twice while she was speaking. Qiu Yuling sensitively gave up her prepared remarks and just spoke about her experiences in a factual manner. She felt that her brother's eyes had a deeper meaning.
Sure enough, after dinner, Zhou Chuanwu hurried to the company, but Qiu Dahe said that he had three days of vacation and wanted to take his sister out for a good walk.
He even knew that Qiu Yuling had gone to the horse farm yesterday. Seeing that she enjoyed it very much, he said hello to her grandmother and said he would take his sister to go horseback riding.
Naturally, grandma would agree.
Qiu Yuling knew that his second brother might have something to say, so after walking out of the barracks for a while, Qiu Dahe carefully asked his younger sister about what she had seen and heard since arriving in Xinjiang.
Qiu Yuling pretended not to know and just casually explained the trivialities of her daily life in detail. At this moment, she silently warned herself in her heart: Don't stand out from the front again! Don't stand out from the front!
Qiu Dahe always knew that his sister was smart. Looking at her expression, he knew that she had come to her senses, but she was obviously overthinking it.
He then sighed and said bluntly: "Yuling, Second Brother knows that you have understood in your heart, and what you did is right, but..."
After a pause, he continued, "But from now on, I can only tell my second brother that he is not allowed to interfere in anything outside, and he is not allowed to get involved. Do you understand?"
Qiu Dahe has been here for nearly two years. During his time in the army, he obviously knows more about important matters and the trends and directions of the superiors than his sister.
He was afraid that his sister was too smart, but she was just a child after all and might be exploited by someone with ulterior motives. He was even more afraid that her intelligence would attract inappropriate attention and cause unnecessary trouble.
Only then did Qiu Yuling realize that she had made a fatal mistake. She had preconceived notions that Zhou Chuanwu was the head of the family who could take charge, but she forgot that she was only his cousin, and the two of them had only spent a short time together and did not have much friendship.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly today and made timely adjustments, only stating the facts and not showing off her vague memory. Fortunately, she noticed her second brother's ambiguous look when she first brought up the topic...
"Brother, I really know I was wrong. I will never trust others based on my subjective assumptions again." A smart person's words don't need to be explained in detail. Qiu Dahe also knew that his sister had really realized what she should pay attention to, so he talked about riding.
Knowing that her second brother was truly thinking about her, she changed the subject.
Oh, by the way, she almost forgot the serious matter, "Second brother, I'll give you some candy. Sugar can replenish your body with energy."
Qiu Dahe was both amused and confused. His little sister was probably using this excuse to coax her mother to ask for candy. After saying it so many times, she really took it seriously. "Second brother is an adult now. He doesn't want to eat candy. You keep it for yourself."
It was specially prepared for him, so he could eat whatever he wanted, but he still peeled a normal one and ate it himself, "Here, I've eaten it, you can eat it too."
Unable to persuade his younger sister, he took the candy.
"Second brother, eat faster and give me back the candy wrapper. I'm saving it for later use." There was no point in doing that. I just didn't want him to look at it in his hands for too long.
Qiu Dahe didn't think much about it. He ate the candy and returned the candy wrapper to Qiu Yuling.
"How's it? Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious." His little sister didn't save it for too long, so why did it taste a little bitter? But he was a grown man, and eating it wouldn't hurt anyone, so he chewed and swallowed it.
Qiu Yuling watched him swallow it and gestured for him to open her kettle and drink some water, but there was still some.
"I really don't want to eat it anymore. You can eat it yourself." He is a grown man and can only eat candies a few times a year. His younger sister has already fed him three in just a short while.
She even tricked him into chewing fruit candies, saying they would make them crunchier and taste different.
“Hehe, second brother, is it still hard this time?”
"It's not bitter anymore."
That's not right. It should taste a little bitter. It's all sugar with medicine added. Could I have made a mistake?
She simply spread out all the candy wrappers she had just taken back. These candy wrappers were marked, and there was nothing wrong with them!
"Second brother? Really not bitter?"
As soon as Qiu Dahe saw Qiu Yuling's attitude, he knew that he had made a mess of things. It turned out that she knew that the candies she gave him were expired, and she was afraid that they would be mixed up and eaten by herself, so she checked again and again.
"It's bitter, but it's okay. Next time, don't save it for too long, or it will become tasteless."
"Oh, then I'm relieved." I looked up and saw Qiu Dahe's eyes widened. "No, then I know, sugar will become bitter if it is left for too long, hehe..."
The awkward but polite smile was interrupted by a voice saying, "Yuling, here, I'm here."
Wang Xiaotao was there too.
"Did you come to my house to look for me? I told my grandfather that if a girl like you comes looking for me, he should tell you that I'm at the horse ranch."
Isn't this a coincidence? Qiu Yuling reported truthfully that she came here with her brother and had no intention of looking for her.
"Is this your brother? He doesn't look like you. He's much darker than you." What Wang Xiaotao didn't say was that although he was dark, he was still quite good-looking.
Qiu Dahai's injury was not suitable for strenuous exercise at the moment. He had originally planned to play with his younger sister for a while, but when he saw that his younger sister had a friend, he went to the stable on his own initiative, picked up the bucket, and went to clean up with the little soldier who fed the horses.
"By the way, your brother is also a soldier, so you can join the army?" Wang Xiaotao thought of this and suddenly spoke excitedly. This way she wouldn't have to worry about her little friend going back.
Although Qiu Yuling had never been a military dependent before, she thought the threshold for joining the army wouldn't be so low, right? Even sisters could follow?
But he still replied: "No way?"
"It's okay. Let's go ride horses first. I'll ask my grandfather when I get home."
