"Mom, didn't you say that people with minor injuries should not leave the front line? Then why did you ask for leave for my brother? We should go to school today." Erdan got up in the morning and was confused when he saw his brother in a grass-green military uniform, without a schoolbag, and helping mom stack the bicycles outside the door.

"Well, he has to take a day off today because I have something to take him to the mine, but you have to go to class. Drink your soup and leave early. At noon today, if your mother doesn't come back in time, you can go to Tiantian's house for dinner. Do you understand?"

"Okay, Mom, I got it." Erdan finished brushing his teeth, took a big sip of soup, sighed, and said, "It smells so good."

"Mom, are you really not going to take me with you today?" This is what Sandaner regrets the most.

"I really can't take him with me, so go play with Little Jinbao. Maybe I can come back by noon."

After getting on the bus, Nie Weimin was actually very worried.

In fact, he understood Chen Lina's temper better than his father. For her, nothing could be concluded without a summary.

However, he abandoned his two younger brothers and ran to the Baiyang River to watch the arrest of Su Xiu. Such a big thing, but she ignored it after that, just like collecting interest. Nie Weimin was very scared.

I really don't know how she asked for forgiveness in the end.

"Hello, District Chief Gao. Are you the one who will preside over today's public report on the capture of the Su Xiu spy?" Chen Lina asked District Chief Gao when she met him in the district government building. He was wearing a Liberation suit and black-framed glasses.

"Why, the guards are here to sit in as well?"

"Yes, he was in your car at the time and participated in the battle. I want him to hear the whole story."

"This Yanghe turbulence is the most destructive incident since the 1966 exodus from Xinjiang, in which we have lost the most soldiers. Leaders from all the military corps and counties in the autonomous region are here, and I have to make this report. Come in quickly, don't you have to go on stage and make a report today? Leaders from all over the autonomous region are waiting to see you, a heroine." District Chief Gao joked.

After taking the speech, Chen Lina walked in.

Because she had made a great contribution in reporting Gong Hongxing, she was arranged in the first row. There was no seat for Nie Weimin, so she had to hold the child.

"Mom, how many comrades did the armed forces sacrifice that day?"

"Look, according to the statistics above, fifteen people were injured and five died."

"What about the Soviet spy?"

"Two helicopters, a total of 20 people, three were captured alive, and the remaining 17 were all killed."

"What about Secretary Xiao Zhang? He was shot in the shoulder. Have you asked Uncle Gao if he is still alive?" Nie Weimin asked eagerly.

The mother sighed and shook her head. "The shrapnel in the shoulder was just a minor injury. What really caused him to fall into a coma and lose too much blood was the bullet in his heart. Guardian, he has died."

Although Nie Weimin was only a first-grade elementary school student, he read a lot of books. After receiving the speech, he began to read it carefully.

Children born after the founding of the Republic have watched too many anti-Japanese war movies and too many gun battles in movies.

But to actually experience it, to watch the bullets whizzing through the glass, is another feeling altogether.

"Now, please invite Chen Lina, the director of Mulan Farm, to come to the stage and let her tell us how she discovered that Gong Hongxing was a Soviet revisionist counter-revolutionary."

The part about Nie Gong monitoring the Soviet radio station and the intelligence from above was hidden, so all the credit was put on Chen Lina, who is now a heroine.

Chen Lina then stood up and went on stage.

The comrades from the Armed Forces took the lead in applauding, and some even led in cheering. The applause was so loud that Nie Weimin's eardrums hurt.

"First of all, I have to express my deep self-examination to everyone. I have to admit that all along, it was because I did not want to cause trouble and I wanted to avoid inspection because of my background that the Soviet revisionists took advantage of the opportunity to run rampant in our mining area. They even blatantly sent telegrams, exposing our coordinates and almost causing irreparable losses." She bowed deeply, and everyone fell silent immediately.

Let’s not talk about the people in the autonomous regions. At least the leaders of the mining areas, like Secretary A and Minister Gao, to be honest, are quite ashamed.

Although they said they did not cooperate when Gong Hongxing was active in the mining area, everyone let her do what she wanted for fear of causing trouble.

What is more terrifying than adding fuel to the fire, or even participating in it personally, is turning a blind eye.

When the flames of war did not reach them, they chose to hide, and thus they gained temporary peace. It can also be said that the flames of war did not burn on them.

But what is the final result?

5 dead and 15 injured. A bridge built with great difficulty was almost destroyed by the enemy.

After taking off his glasses, District Chief Gao stood up and bowed deeply. "There is really nothing to commend him for. Director Chen needs to reflect on his mistakes, so should I? In fact, as a leader, I should take the lead in reflecting on my mistakes."

Slowly, all the leaders of the mining area stood up. The air suddenly became terrifyingly quiet...

"By the way, Xiao Chen, why didn't Nie Gong come? He was the first person to monitor the radio code and the first to decipher the code.

Although we have to keep this secret because of his special identity, he is a great hero in this case, so it would be inappropriate if he didn't come, right?" After the meeting, Secretary Ah waited for Chen Lina at the door of the conference room.

"He had some work to report to his superiors, so he went to Beijing and will probably be back today," said Chen Lina.

"You went alone, why didn't you inform me?" Secretary Ah seemed to be thinking about something. He remembered that the leader was very ill recently and it seemed that he had not called the mining area.

"It's a new scientific research achievement of his. The leader called the base directly at that time. He probably didn't have time to report it to you."

It was time to file a complaint, but Nie Gong did not hand over all the evidence in his hand to the Armed Forces. He personally rushed to Beijing with the evidence, of course, hoping to give the leader first-hand evidence so that the seriously ill leader could help the intellectuals fight a beautiful turnaround.

After listening to the report, Chen Lina went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy five pounds of biscuits, packaged them into five cents, and went to the mining area hospital to visit the comrades in the armed forces who were injured in the gun battle.

Staff Officer Yu always led the charge in every battle, and of course he was injured and had a big bandage on his arm.

He refused to take even a pound of dried biscuits. "I don't have any children at home. Take it back and give it to the three sons of the factory worker."

"If you don't eat, then Xiao Bao won't eat either, Chief of Staff Yu, even if Comrade Xiao Bao is promoted to Mrs. Yu, your treatment cannot change. I've noticed that you haven't shown much loyalty recently."

"No, no, I have a burning heart in my chest. Besides being ready to sacrifice for the Republic at any time, I am also thinking about how to appreciate the beauty of our Comrade Xiao Bao. Don't you agree, Xiao Bao?"

"That's enough, just lie down quickly." Xiao Bao, who had an overbite, slapped Staff Officer Yu on the elbow. Staff Officer Yu's whole face twitched in pain.

"Director Chen, do you have any extra photos? Can you give me one?" Xiao Bao peeled the apple and handed it to Chen Lina. Seeing Chen Lina pass it to Nie Weimin, he started peeling another one.

"Why, why do you want my photo?" Chen Lina asked back.

Xiao Bao smiled and said, "My cousin is in the Hongyan Military Region. She has been writing to me, saying that she wants to see your photo."

"Hey, is she a classmate of my husband Nie? How come she also works in the military system?"

"She is the mainstay of our Hongyan Military Region Song and Dance Troupe. Her recently created musical "Dream of Dunhuang" is about to be released."

Wow, I can tell she's a beauty right away. How could she be the one to take on the lead role in "Dream of Dunhuang"? That musical is a classic piece of music in Hongyan Province. In the future, when leaders go abroad, they will have to bring the touring repertoire with them.

It seems that the female student who works as a nurse thinks she is superior to others and wants to see who she is.

"Tell her that it won't be long before the New Youth Daily publishes a full page about our Mulan Farm. I'll put it in the newspaper, so let her read it."

Before Guo Bin left, he showed her the black-and-white photo that Master Jin had taken of her. She was kneeling in a field covered with snow-white earth, with corn seedlings growing clumsily and vigorously. There was only one bad thing about the photo, as it looked like Liu Hulan.

Bao Manli is an excellent dancer, and Chen Lina is also good. They will be featured in newspapers as the best farm managers.

"Okay, I'll tell you, but Director Chen, you really should have practiced dancing. Your body is so beautiful." Xiao Bao said, and then came over and said, "Tell me, what kind of makeup do you use?"

"My mother uses mutton fat, don't you use that, Auntie Xiao Bao?"

Nie Weimin knew this. Because her mother had switched to lanolin, all the families in the mining area had recently switched from vanishing cream to lanolin.

"Okay, you must take the biscuits back. As long as you can come to see me, I will be very happy." Having said that, Chief of Staff Yu still stuffed his biscuits back to Chen Lina.

Every time she returned to the mining area, no matter which child was with her, Chen Lina would go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some delicious food for the child.

Well, to win the hearts of the people, of course, and also to allow the children to adapt to following her, this hectic and boring job.

After all, she had to talk about seeds, and she also had to go to the library to look up information and buy seeds. The children followed her happily, but it was so boring. Without some sweet treats, they really didn't want to go.

After attending a report today, Chen Lina returned to the base before noon.

As expected, the two children were waiting anxiously at the iron gate.

The laborer also came back, with a scruffy beard, carrying his canvas travel bag, and stood behind his son. There was nothing he could do, as he had forgotten to bring his keys when he went out.

"The guards are very quiet today." When Nie Gong heard that they wanted to eat shredded potatoes with noodles, he took the initiative to help Chen Lina peel potatoes.

"Yes, it's noon and he has to go to school in the afternoon, but he's just hoeing the ground." Chen Lina opened the back window and said with a smile, "Look at how hard your son is working."

"Hey, Weimin, just wait for daddy to come out. Come out of the toilet for me."

Farm manure, which is collected and used by oneself, is of course the most fertile raw material for the land compared to nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer. But what does it mean for a child to apply fertilizer by himself in the middle of the day?

"Oh, Dad, I don't think it stinks."

"Why do you need to plug your ears with cotton balls if they don't stink?" The worker took the dung spoon from his son and said, "Go quickly, this fat man, I'll take care of it when I have time. After dinner, hurry up and go to school."

"Xiao Chen, did you scold Wei Min today? Otherwise, why did he behave like this... He is completely different from the past." You know, in the past, Nie Wei Min would stuff cotton balls in his nose when he went to the toilet. In his words, he would rather kill people than fertilize them.

"Your son's stubbornness is not because he is stupid, but because he is too smart. Deep love does not last long, and extreme wisdom will be hurt. People like him have their own logic in their minds to convince themselves. No matter how much you nag in his ears, it will be useless. Today, I took him to a report meeting and took him to the hospital to see the wounded in the Battle of White Poplar River. I guess he is regretting it deeply in his heart."

Of course, if I died, it would not cause any loss to the country, the collective, or the school.

But his father has no son, his younger brother has no older brother, and he will never understand the deeper mysteries of this world. This kind of self-blame and self-reflection is enough to make Nie Weimin know how to cherish life.

"I just want to ask, Comrade Xiao Chen, didn't you say that you only had dogs in your previous life and no children? Where did you learn so many ways to educate children?"

The effect can be seen immediately, and there is no grudge against the child.

After all, children will grow up in the wrong way if you don't beat them. If you beat them, they will hold a grudge and will become more difficult to control as they grow older.

"In my previous life, I always loved to drive fast. You said it many times but it didn't work. Then one time, I went to the traffic police station to deal with a violation. It happened to be a traffic publicity day that day. There were a lot of signs sprayed outside the traffic police station. They were all full of various accident scenes, severed limbs, and half of the head was crushed. It was so horrible. So, before that, as long as there was no surveillance, I would drive 180. After leaving the traffic police station, whether there was surveillance or not, I would only drive 120 on the highway. The alarm bells are ringing, isn't that what it means?"

"Okay, I know you're great, but Erdan, why don't you go to school?" Nie Bozhao turned around and saw the second brother leaning against the door frame, so he asked.

"The teacher said that I should go home and pick up manure, and I don't have to go to school anymore." Erdan looked very happy. He was jumping around and eating carrots, taking a bite and feeding a bite to his sister.

"What do you mean by going home to pick up shit? A child of your age should go to school. Come quickly."

"But the teacher doesn't want me. She said that even if I were to herd sheep on the Gobi Desert, it would be better than what I am doing now."

"Why?"

"She said, I'm a poop-making machine. Dad, what does a poop-making machine mean?" Erdan's two big eyes were still shining with innocence. Maybe because there were two words "machine" in them, he thought the teacher was praising him.

"Well, Dad will explain it to you later. Now hurry up and go to school."

After Erdan carried his schoolbag and left, Nie Bozhao began to have a headache. "I don't know what's wrong with these teachers nowadays. How can they say such hurtful words in front of children?"

"Okay, your son is still too stupid to understand that the teacher is scolding him. This is also a good thing." Chen Lina said with a smile.

Nie Weimin's female teacher was named Tian. She was a Red Expert graduate and also came from the mainland. She was very good at cursing people in roundabout ways.

"Xiao Chen, you don't want to pick some radishes to give to the teacher, do you? Are you going to get into bribery too?" Seeing Chen Lina washing a few radishes from the ground and picking them up, Nie Gong, with his keen sense of smell, guessed at the first moment that she was going to give them to the teacher.

"This is not called bribery, this is called building good relationships. I'll use sugar-coated bullets to corrode first, and see if your son can have a better life in school. If this doesn't work, I'll think of other ways. I have always respected intellectuals. Isn't it popular to use courtesy before force in everything? What do you think, Nie Gong?"

The two of them arrived at the school gate together, and Chen Lina gave the carrot to Nian Gong. "Why don't you go? The beauty trap is applicable at any time."

Nie Gong was petrified instantly. "I am sending carrots to a teacher for my son's study? No, no, I think I should criticize the teacher's work. You know, when I was in school, I had just been liberated, but I didn't meet a teacher who always criticized students without knowing right or wrong."

"Forget it, forget it. If you go, not only will Teacher Tian not accept the radish, but I estimate that your son will suffer even greater damage. You know, Erdan is already thick-skinned enough.

Moreover, because he was scolded since he was a child, he has a strong ability to withstand blows. I don't know if it was this teacher Tian who finally scolded him and expelled him from school, leading him to the path of gangsters.

But what I want to tell you is that besides scolding in person, teachers have at least a hundred ways to isolate a student and make him suffer. You want to scold one away, that's fine, but when the next one comes, can you guarantee that she won't scold your son? "With that, Chen Lina got off the bus.

In the quiet playground, the May sky is so blue.

Nie Bozhao walked to the classroom door and saw his eldest son sitting upright at his desk, listening attentively. This kid was smart and unruly, and with the energy he put into life, it was really hard to control him.

Well, look at Erdan again. Good, the child is quite serious. So he is quite relieved. Isn’t this good? Why does the teacher always scold my son?

But then the math teacher on the podium hit him with a piece of chalk, "Nieh Weiguo, what are you daydreaming about again? Why aren't you paying attention in class?"

Fortunately, he did not criticize Teacher Tian directly, otherwise he would be unreasonable and unreasonable. However, this teaching method does need to be improved.

After walking around the classroom, Nie Bozhao went to the principal to report the problem.

The principal's attitude was very correct, and Nie Gong felt that his trip to the school was not in vain.
