Seeing the murderous aura that Bai Shuang inadvertently revealed between her brows, Deputy Chief Zhu became afraid.
He no longer dared to underestimate this woman who was not yet thirty. No wonder the commander appointed her as the base commander and dared to entrust the entire base to her.
How blind I must have been to think she was just a woman with a little bit of ability.
"I was wrong, I was blind to your greatness!"
Actually, I regretted asking that question that day.
You're right. I originally thought that when the leader left, he would hand over the base to me to manage, just like last time.
Unexpectedly, he would rather give it to you, a pregnant woman, than to me.
You can manage internal affairs, but I really can't stand you interfering in the military.
I was wrong, terribly wrong.
But rest assured, I will never do anything detrimental to the base.
"Can you release me from my prison?"
"That's because you haven't figured out your place. You think that in the entire base, apart from Lu Yu, you are the most important person, second only to one person, right?"
Your ambitions are too big; you're no longer suited for this position.
As for your future, we'll discuss that when the commander returns.
Bai Shuang thought for a moment, "Since you know you were wrong, I'm temporarily relieving you of your confinement. I hope you'll abide by the law from now on and not make me take action again."
A month or so of imprisonment is enough. Considering that he has followed Lu Yu for many years and made numerous contributions in battle, he will be released for the time being.
But that position can no longer be given to him. As for how much his rank will be reduced in the future, that will depend on his performance.
On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Ying came to see the white frost.
She knew Bai Shuang was worried about Lu Yu, "You're pregnant, so take care of your health and don't rush things."
When you're out and about, things happen beyond your control; perhaps they're on their way home.
"Aunt Wang, I know. Getting anxious won't help. I'll try to calm myself down."
Wang Ying couldn't help but ask, "Do they have enough food?"
"There's no problem with food; we brought plenty."
“Then there’s no problem. You said they’ve already loaded their weapons, and they have everything they need, including the two most basic items. General Lu is a veteran of countless battles.”
That's how it is in theory.
My concern is that he will be surrounded and blocked by various forces.
Otherwise, our base would have been surrounded by enemies long ago after receiving oil from the Babylonians. How could we be so peaceful now?
"You mean, those forces have concentrated their power on them?"
"Yes, this phenomenon occurred right after they set off. To maintain the peace of the base, he deliberately led the enemy to a distant location..."
"Don't worry, if he can take those enemies away, he'll find a way to deal with it. As a general, he knows what's important."
"Too."
"Don't worry, if they haven't returned by the New Year, Auntie will help you look for them."
This made Bai Shuang laugh. "Even if there's no one else, I wouldn't ask an old lady like you to fight for me."
Do you know how dangerous it is outside?
"Don't underestimate your Aunt Wang, she's quite capable."
Oh, by the way, I haven't asked you yet, is the child behaving well?
"She's very well-behaved; she hasn't had any adverse reactions at all."
"You're in good health. When the baby is born, Auntie will help you take care of it."
"Okay, I trust you to take care of the child."
Compared to Li Xueer and the others who had never raised children, she preferred Wang Ying. Wang Ying had given birth to and raised children, was well-educated, and had a good character.
Bai Shuang chatted with Wang Ying for a while and felt much better.
"Aunt Wang, let me bring you a chicken."
"You got the New Year's benefits, didn't you? I'm all alone, I can't eat that much."
When she left, Bai Shuang gave her a few bottles of canned fruit.
On New Year's Eve, the entire base was given a holiday. Bai Shuang and Bai Jiu took a walk around the base. They were usually too busy with work to go outside.
Suddenly, she heard the familiar singing again, and Bai Shuang realized that the celebrity couple had probably returned.
The group followed the sound and saw them singing. There were quite a few people standing around, so the three of them went over to join in the fun.
While they were singing, I quickly spotted Bai Shuang and the other two. I exchanged glances with them and then continued singing.
After finishing the song, he accepted payment from the person who requested the song and walked towards Bai Shuang.
I asked them and found out that they had just arrived yesterday and were on temporary annual leave. They would have to work after the New Year, so they thought they could make some money during the holiday.
Bai Shuang: "Now that the great disaster is over, you can reconsider your old profession and pick up our art again."
I have all kinds of books here, so let's start with art education. You can find two people who know about early childhood education and set up a kindergarten.
You teach the children singing and dancing, while the other teachers teach academic subjects.
The two listened with delight, nodding repeatedly, but still had questions.
"But are there any children at the base?"
"There are a few, a few years older or younger, it doesn't matter. During this special period, we earn whatever we can. If it's not enough to live on, the base will subsidize a portion."
Now that childbirth is encouraged, you can treat it as an experiment to gain experience. Once you have more children, the education system will be more mature, and that's when you'll be able to make a lot of money.
"If you do nothing else, just focus on making a good kindergarten, and that'll be enough to earn money."
"If you want to sing during the Spring Festival, sing for a few days, earn some points, and have some fun. After the Spring Festival, come back to me to get the teaching materials and prepare for kindergarten."
"Okay, thank you, Boss Bai."
With something related to their professions to do, the two beamed with joy, feeling that their lives suddenly had a purpose.
Bai Shuang asked them to run a kindergarten for the sake of the base's educational development, but she also had her own selfish motives.
They're running kindergartens now, so by the time their own children start school, the education system will be fully developed.
Once the food problem is solved next year, primary schools, middle schools, and universities will gradually open.
Bai Shuang remembered that she was already four months pregnant and it was time to start prenatal education. She should go back and find the prenatal education recordings; she couldn't afford to neglect this.
I have everything I need, so I want to give my child the best education.
Next, Bai Shuang instructed Bai Jiu and his wife to deliver the New Year's gifts that needed to be given, including to their in-laws.
She wasn't extravagant; ten catties of rice, ten catties of flour, and five catties of oil were enough for each family.
We are still in a period of scarcity, and we must not exceed the scope of other people's understanding.
And he told his uncles that there would be no gathering this year.
With Lu Yu and the others gone, and many relatives yet to return, Bai Shuang was preoccupied with prenatal education for her child and had no time to deal with anything else.
For New Year's Eve dinner, it was still just her, Bai Jiu, and Xiao Zhao. They didn't stand on ceremony; they just picked what everyone liked, made a table full of dishes, enough to eat, and didn't want to waste anything.
When Bai Jiu was looking for the Spring Festival Gala after dinner, he flipped through the pages repeatedly, and found that he had watched it several times before.
"Miss, when will there be a new Spring Festival Gala?"
"It'll be soon; we'll organize a new one next year."
Everything should be done on the premise of having enough to eat.
