Several children happily ran to the basin at the door to wash their hands, and rushed into the kitchen to get the noodles.

Wang Fengjiao was surprised to see that the children were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"He passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer? Why are you all so happy?"

Zhou Haiyang said happily, "Aunt Yang gave us 20 cents each to buy popsicles."

When Wang Fengjiao heard that they asked for Yang Niannian's money, she took a slipper and was about to hit Zhou Haiyang, but he dodged it flexibly.

She yelled, "Aunt Yang, come and see, my mother is going to beat someone up."

Wang Fengjiao pointed at him and yelled, "What did I teach you? How dare you ask your Aunt Yang for money?"

Yang Niannian just happened to enter the main room with chopsticks in her hand and explained with a smile, "They didn't ask for it. I gave it to them as a reward to motivate them to study hard."

Then she said to the children, "Come and sit down to eat."

Zhou Haiyang didn't dare, "My mother has to promise not to hit anyone before I go over."

Wang Fengjiao was not really angry. Nian Nian was kind enough to give the child money to spend, so she was grateful. That was why she would not lose her temper and hit the child, making the atmosphere awkward and embarrassing for everyone.

He said angrily, "How can I catch up with you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the children burst into laughter.

After the exams, it was officially the holiday. The children were all very relaxed. After dinner, Zhou Haiyang took the initiative to take on the task of washing the dishes. Although this child is usually naughty, his eyelids are the most active and he works diligently.

In the afternoon, the children all went out to play, but Wang Fengjiao couldn't sit still. She was knitting sweaters and sewing shoe soles, and her hands never stopped.

Yang Niannian was sitting nearby chatting, thinking, it would be nice to have a TV to watch. But she was just thinking about it, when she heard that evening that Ding Lanying had bought a TV and brought it home.

Although it was just a black and white TV, it was the first one in the military family compound. The wives and children of the soldiers were so curious that they all ran to Ding Lanying's house to watch TV in the evening.

The house couldn't hold so many people, so Political Commissar Zhang simply moved the TV under the eaves. An anti-Japanese war drama was playing on TV, and the soldiers' wives and children watched it without blinking.

"Director Ding, this TV must have cost several hundred yuan, right?" Yu Hongli complimented him. "You and Director Ding are the most generous people in our military family compound. You bought a new TV and put it under the eaves for all of us to watch together."

Mrs. Xu echoed, "Yes, your family spent hundreds of dollars to buy a TV, and you still have to pay for the electricity. If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't be willing to move it out for everyone to watch."

"Otherwise, why do we say that Political Commissar Zhang and Director Ding are broad-minded?"

Everyone echoed what was said.

Political Commissar Zhang and Ding Lanying were so delighted by the compliment that the depression that had accumulated over the past two days was relieved a lot. Both of them smiled so hard that their faces were full of wrinkles, and they looked like flowers were about to bloom.

Political Commissar Zhang spoke in an official tone, "This is what we should do. When we have good things, we should not enjoy them alone, but share them with everyone. This is the most basic awareness of being a party member."

The military wives just wanted to bring their children over to watch TV, so they didn’t understand what was going on. Haha, they just agreed with a few words and then focused their attention on the TV.

Only Yu Hongli couldn't stop talking. "Director Ding, I heard that Yu Ting is coming to Haicheng Hospital for internship. When will she be back?"

Speaking of her daughter, Ding Lanying's face was full of pride. "She'll be back the day after tomorrow."

I received a letter from my daughter in the afternoon, saying that she would be back the day after tomorrow and that she bought the TV for her as a surprise.

During the Chinese New Year, my daughter was complaining at home that she was bored and wanted to watch TV series.

This time, after discussing it with my husband, I used up all my savings and bought a TV.

"Oh, in our military family compound, you and Political Commissar Zhang are the most amazing. Both of your sons and daughters have been admitted to college. There are not many families in the whole Haicheng with such achievements. You will be blessed in the future." Yu Hongli praised again.

The other military wives echoed, "Yes, now the children have to go out to work, you have finally made it through."

"It's mainly because the children work hard. If they don't, it won't be any use no matter how capable Lao Zhang and I are." Ding Lanying spoke modestly but had a proud look on her face.

"I heard that this has something to do with genetic inheritance. It's because you and Political Commissar Zhang have good genes. If your genes are not good, you won't be able to get into college even if you take the exam eight or ten times." While Yu Hongli was flattering him, she did not forget to tease Yang Niannian.

Seeing that the conversation was about to go off topic, Political Commissar Zhang quickly interrupted the topic and said, "Just focus on watching TV. Adults, please stand aside and don't block the children's view."

Yu Hongli stepped back and seemed to step on something. Then she heard An An scream "Ah".

"You stepped on An An."

Zhou Haiyang pushed Yu Hongli. Even though he was only 9 years old, he was quite strong.

Yu Hongli staggered and almost fell.

When I turned around, I saw An An limping on one leg, grimacing in pain.

Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to An An, Yu Hongli explained with an embarrassed expression, "I didn't use any force. Did you learn this from your stepmother? You're so squeamish."

"Aunt Yang is not a spoiled child." Zhou Haiyang retorted.

"Hey, I didn't say your mother is a spoiled child. Why are you so fierce like a little wolfhound?" Yu Hongli said sarcastically.

Zhou Haiyang said loudly, "Anyway, you can't say anything about Aunt Yang."

Mrs. Xu was a little unhappy that the two of them were interrupted from watching TV, so she interrupted and said, "Hongli, stop teasing the child and watch TV."

Yu Hongli was holding back her anger and felt uncomfortable if she didn't let it out, so she glanced at An An.

"Doesn't your aunt make a lot of money from her business? Why doesn't she buy you a TV?"

An An was a little afraid of Yu Hongli. He didn't know how to answer this question. In addition, his toes were a little painful, so he didn't say a word with red eyes.

Zhou Haiyang was not afraid of Yu Hongli. "Didn't your family buy a TV? You are allowed to watch it, but we can't?"

Yu Hongli was too lazy to pay attention to Zhou Haiyang. Seeing An An's red eyes, she felt relieved and continued to speak in a strange tone.

"Your stepmother makes so much money, but she can't even afford to buy a TV. Is she spending all the money on herself? I see she wears different clothes every day. Even the owner of a tailor shop is not as prosperous as her. Go back and tell your stepmother that you want to watch TV, and see if she will buy you a TV."

An An couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and bravely retorted, "You're talking nonsense. My aunt didn't spend all her money on herself. You're a bad aunt. I won't watch TV anymore."

After saying that, he turned and ran away.

"I won't watch it either." When Zhou Haiyang saw An An leaving, he ran after her.

"Forget about watching it. How can it scare me?" Yu Hongli curled her lips and watched the TV series leisurely.

Everyone was so absorbed in the TV series that they didn't even notice two children walking in the yard.

At this time, Lu Shishen was hanging clothes in the yard, and Yang Niannian was sitting at the door of the main room reading the letter sent by Lu Qingyuan.

The letter said that Lu Ruoling's husband's grandfather was seriously ill, and the man's family wanted to get married early to celebrate.

If you don't get married now, according to the rules of your hometown, you have to wait three years after the elder passes away before you can hold the wedding.

Three years is too long.

After discussion, the two families decided to hold the wedding banquet half a month later and wrote to ask if the two had time to go back.

"The letter was sent a week ago. Ruoling is getting married in a few days. Can you take a leave to go back?"

Lu Shishen shook his head, "The wedding leave has been used up."
