Chapter 48 Inquiry (2/2)



Qin Guifen responded loudly from inside the room.

She was probably dressing the child, and Yun Qiao even heard her petting the child in a low voice.

"You stretched out your arms when I told you to, but why are you pinching Xiaohong's face?"

"You said it was fun? Even fun is not allowed."

"You should learn from Xiaohong. You're the same age, but you're only two months older than her. Xiaohong has already learned to dress herself, and you still have to ask me to serve you. Aren't you ashamed?"

Yun Qiao went to the educated youth dormitory and moved his quilt and mattress from the east room to the west.

She chose a spot against the wall by the south window and folded her bedding and put it away.

The luggage was left unpacked and placed on the kang.

The main thing is that there is no place to put it after it is disassembled, and there is no wardrobe or box in this room.

There were boxes in the east room. Yun Qiao guessed that they were their personal belongings. He didn't know whether they bought them from a furniture store or had a carpenter make them.

Yun Qiao thought about asking Chen Fengxia to see if he could get a servant.

She brought a lot of luggage. Although she had put money and other valuables in the luggage, there were no valuables in the luggage, but she couldn't just leave it like that forever. She still had to leave it without a suitcase.

After packing up his things, Yun Qiao grabbed a handful of candy and put it in his pocket and left the educated youth dormitory.

She first walked around the Fifth Company to familiarize herself with the environment, then she found a place where many children gathered, recruited a group of them, gave them a few candies as a doormat, and then beat the children inside.

Children can't keep secrets, so Yun Qiao asked a few questions casually, and a group of children chattered away, rushing to tell her everything like beans being poured out.

For example, Yang Yongxian, the company commander of the 5th Company of the 3rd Regiment, had a loud voice and loved to glare. He cursed people every day, but he never hit children.

Instructor Zhao Jiandong was a bespectacled man. He looked gentle behind his glasses, but he was able to discipline the loud-mouthed company commander, Yang Yongxian, into submission.

The women's director was Jiang Ling, the wife of instructor Zhao Jiandong. She could drive a tractor and shoot a gun. Not only was she an accurate shooter, she could also kick a child accurately.

As expected, instructor Zhao Jiandong is afraid of his wife and is dominated by his own husband.

There is also the female squad leader of the kitchen team, Lin Shengnan, a gentle fat girl. She is very kind to children and every time she fries meatballs, she feeds them to the group of children.

All the kids in the fifth company like her.

Another thing is that this camp has been built for many years, but the kids couldn’t tell exactly when it was built.

However, a seven-year-old child said that this place has existed since he was born, because he was born in this place.

In addition, there are more than fifty households in the Fifth Company, most of whom are retired military officers and their families.

When Yun Qiao asked whose parents had served in the military, almost all the children raised their hands.

The only one who didn't raise his hand said that his father came here to support construction in 1958 and was one of the first group of people to aid Xinjiang. It has been exactly ten years now.

Yun Qiao listened to the babyish voices of these children, imitating the adults and solemnly reciting the poem "Soldiers are not afraid of the hardships of the expedition, and thousands of mountains and rivers are just a matter of course. Heroes rush to the Great Northern Wilderness to build a large granary." Her eyes moistened, and a seed in her heart slowly took root and sprouted.
