After being complimented by everyone for a while, Lin Manzhi felt happy and treated other military wives very well and spoke to them in a gentle manner.
"Okay, okay, everyone, stop chatting and play shuttlecock!"
These sisters-in-law usually take care of the children. The most relaxing time of the year is when they come to visit relatives during the New Year. However, after being idle for a long time, they feel like they have no backbone and become anxious.
Now there is an entertainment activity, and the military wives are in a playful mood. They took the shuttlecocks from Lin Manzhi and kicked them for a while.
I don’t know if everyone was intentionally giving Lin Manzhi a break or if she really had some skills, but she was the best kicker and could even do some tricks.
Without a doubt, she was praised by other military wives.
After Lin Manzhi said a few humble words, she shifted her attention to Yang Niannian.
"Niannian, shuttlecock kicking is very simple. You can learn it after a little practice. Would you like to play with us for a while?"
Seeing that Lin Manzhi still didn't reveal the real purpose of asking her to come down, Yang Niannian fanned the flames and said it deliberately.
"I just said I don't know how to play shuttlecock anymore, you guys play it! I also came down to play for a while at your request, now I'm going to go up, do you have any objections?"
When Xu Yinglian heard that Yang Niannian was going up, she became a little anxious.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave! Now that you are here, why not play for a while? If you don't know how, we can teach you."
Yang Niannian frowned and said with a cold expression.
"Mrs. Xu, I just told you that I was not feeling well, but you insisted on me getting down. Now that I am down, you still insist on me playing shuttlecock. Do I have a deep hatred against you? Do you have to torture me like this?"
Xu Yinglian felt a little guilty and didn't know how to respond for a moment, so she subconsciously looked at Lin Manzhi.
Lin Manzhi cursed inwardly, calling him a useless thing, then spoke with a smile.
"Niannian, actually we called you here this time just to let you experience kicking shuttlecock with us. Military wives usually take care of the children at home, and it's very tiring. After finally coming to visit their families, they stay in the army for ten days or half a month, which is quite boring. Kicking shuttlecock can not only exercise the body, but also kill time."
As she spoke, she observed Yang Niannian's expression, "In the future, we won't have those performances on stage during the New Year. It's the same thing every year, and people don't like to watch it. Why not do something new? A shuttlecock kicking competition is good, and it can also reflect the self-worth of the military wives."
Yang Niannian sneered in her heart, thinking that she was just trying to get her to influence her.
Lin Manzhi wanted to organize a shuttlecock kicking activity for the military wives to play and compete together, but she insisted on showing off in the army.
Regardless of whether it is legal or not, first of all, the army celebrates the New Year, and it is the soldiers' home ground. It is a good thing to let the soldiers participate in tug-of-war competitions like the one Lu Shishen mentioned.
Lu Shishen had his own plans, and she didn't want to get involved, so she pretended not to understand the meaning of Lin Manzhi's words and spoke in a cold attitude.
"You can decide these by yourselves and apply to the army, you don't need to tell me. I can play shuttlecock, and now I'm trying to get pregnant. I can't play shuttlecock when I get pregnant. After the baby is born, I have to take care of the baby by myself, so I definitely can't participate."
Lin Manzhi had long guessed that Yang Niannian would not participate in shuttlecock kicking.
Although it was a bit regrettable not to see Yang Niannian being outdone by her, as long as Yang Niannian could help whisper a few words in front of Lu Shishen, this matter would definitely be accomplished.
So he said.
"It's not appropriate for us female comrades to go to Teacher Lu to talk about this. How about you help talk to Teacher Lu about this?"
Yang Niannian decisively refused, "Since you feel that it is inappropriate for you to talk to Shi Shen, you can ask Deputy Head Wei to do it."
The smile on Lin Manzhi's face was a little hard to maintain. If her man was willing to help her talk to Lu Shishen about this matter, why would she come to Yang Niannian?
Yang Niannian is clearly showing off.
Lin Manzhi took a deep breath and tried to maintain a smile on her face.
"Master Lu is your husband, you can talk to him privately, and just let us know if it's possible. If you let Mochen go and ask, he'll have to submit an application, which is too troublesome."
It would be best if Lu Shishen gave Yang Niannian the face and agreed.
If they don't agree, it means that they are only showing affection on the surface.
Yang Niannian said in a businesslike tone, "Things involving the army are official business, and official business should be handled in a businesslike manner. It's not appropriate for me to get involved."
Without giving Lin Manzhi a chance to speak again, she continued, "If there's nothing else, I'll go upstairs first."
When Lin Manzhi saw that Yang Niannian was so disrespectful to her, her face immediately turned cold.
When Xu Yinglian saw Yang Niannian was about to leave, she became anxious and grabbed Yang Niannian's clothes while saying something.
"Nian Nian, don't leave in such a hurry!"
Yang Niannian was wearing a military coat, and she didn't button it when she came out just now. Xu Yinglian pulled it and directly pulled half of the coat off her body.
A cold wind blew and she shivered. She suddenly felt dizzy, her vision went dark, and her body went limp.
When Tao Hua saw that something was wrong, she quickly went forward and supported her. Since she couldn't lift her up, she could only help her sit on the ground. She was so scared that her voice changed.
"Nian Nian, what's wrong with you?"
No one expected that Yang Niannian would suddenly faint. It all happened so suddenly that everyone was scared and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Xu Yinglian, in particular, was so frightened that her legs went limp and she was at a loss for words to explain.
"I didn't do anything. I just pulled her, not too hard."
Lin Manzhi suspected that Yang Niannian was pretending to be unconscious, but had no evidence, so she scolded Xu Yinglian.
"Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Why don't you go get a military doctor?"
Xu Yinglian finally reacted, but before she could turn around, a cold voice came from behind her.
"What's going on?"
Xu Yinglian shuddered all over and turned around to see Lu Shishen walking towards her quickly.
When Tao Hua heard Lu Shishen's voice, she shouted loudly.
"Master, come and have a look, Nian Nian has fainted."
Almost the moment the voice fell, Lu Shishen came up and picked the person up without saying a word.
He exuded a cold and sullen aura, and his eyes seemed to reveal panic. The military wives had never seen such a look in Lu Shishen's eyes before.
For the first time, I felt that this man who usually didn't say much was so scary.
The military wives all held their breath and dared not say a word, especially Xu Yinglian, who was almost paralyzed by fear.
Fortunately, Lu Shishen carried the person to the infirmary and ignored these military wives.
Xu Yinglian was really frightened and explained with trembling lips.
"I, I just gently pulled her, I didn't use any force, I really didn't use any force."
Lin Manzhi pushed the responsibility onto Xu Yinglian and glared at her.
"If Nian Nian wants to leave, just let her go. Why are you holding her back? Even if nothing happened to her, it's your fault now."
There was a hint in his words that Yang Niannian was pretending to faint on purpose.
Tao Hua couldn't bear to listen to it anymore and couldn't help but feel sorry for Yang Niannian.
"Nian Nian said a long time ago that she was not feeling well and wanted to sleep, but you insisted that she come down. Now something has happened, right?"
Lin Manzhi said, "Fortunately, he came down. If he was alone in the room, no one would know if he fainted."
Although she said this, she was actually a little worried in her heart. She also had a part in asking Yang Niannian to go downstairs.
It would be fine if Yang Niannian was just pretending to be unconscious, but if she really had some health problems, it would be her fault.
And the look in Lu Shishen's eyes seemed like he was very afraid of losing Yang Niannian.
It was just a faint, I don't know why he cares so much.
