The impassioned voices echoed through the military barracks, military compound, and the general compound of the military region via loudspeakers.
At this moment, everyone in the military hospital and the military compound fell silent, listening quietly to the broadcast.
The audience was already quite shocked when the announcer listed all of the Shu Ying family's contributions.
Unexpectedly, the announcer then announced that Shuying's parents had voluntarily handed over their two ancestral courtyards, which were of great historical value.
The Shu family was originally a family of merchants, and these two courtyards have been passed down from generation to generation. As the business grew, the area occupied by them continued to expand.
The combined area of these two courtyards is now almost half the size of Suzhou.
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock, their eyes wide with astonishment.
While most people might feel that other things are somewhat distant from their own lives, the concept of a house's floor area is incredibly strong for them.
Everyone couldn't help but show expressions of disbelief.
"A house that covers such a large area, and they just donated it like that?"
"My goodness, this house is big enough for our whole village to live in!"
"The Shu family is truly dedicated to contributing to the country... Their vision is truly grand; we were simply unaware of their true nature."
Those who had previously harbored doubts about the Shu family were speechless with shock upon hearing this.
Other things might be seen as a publicity stunt to absolve himself of his capitalist status, but to donate such a large house, the result of generations of hard work, so readily demonstrates a level of courage and vision that is not common among ordinary people.
Yangyang and Yueyue have noticed that Shuying has been leaving early and returning late every day for the past few days, looking exhausted, so they know she's been very busy lately.
I'm busy with my grandparents' affairs, and so many other things.
In addition, the aunt also said that Mom was pregnant with her younger brother and sister and it was very hard for her. So the two children were very sensible and did not cling to Shuying as usual, but let Shuying take them for a walk in the yard every night and play with them.
Every day after meals, the two little ones would help Xie Mingzhu clear away the dishes to avoid disturbing their mother, and then they would hold hands and run to the yard to play with their friends.
It just so happens that Little Stone's personality has become more and more lively recently, so the two little ones invited their older brother Stone to play games together.
Jiang Jiang, whom they had just met, initially watched them play hopscotch, firecrackers, and catch bamboo poles with playing cards. After a while, she got itchy to join in and couldn't resist suggesting that they do it themselves.
The three children didn't reject the new friend. They were a little awkward at first, but after a few rounds, they started playing together.
Jiang Jiang has a good personality and is always cheerful and talkative. When the three children are together, there is constant laughter.
After getting tired of playing games, the four little ones held hands and ran and jumped around. One minute they played "Red Light, Green Light," and the next they had a race to see who could run the fastest and who could be caught first...
For an hour or two after the meal, the four children had a great time playing.
However, in almost every game that tested speed and strength, Little Stone won.
Yangyang and Jiangjiang take turns being second.
After several rounds, the four children were drenched in sweat. Yangyang and Yueyue had long been taught by their parents that "victory and defeat are common occurrences in war," so they didn't care too much about winning or losing. They seemed to have gotten used to the fact that their older brother, Little Stone, was slightly better than them.
After all, we've all spent so much time together and gotten to know each other quite well.
Jiang Jiang, the newcomer, didn't seem to care too much about winning or losing, but she couldn't help looking at Xiao Shitou with envy.
"Brother Stone, you're so amazing! You're so tall, and your arms are so chubby, yet you run so fast, you're kind of like..."
Although Jiang Jiang didn't really want to admit it, she couldn't help but say it anyway.
"He looks a bit like Gu Yanjun."
"Gu Yanjun said that when he was my age, he was a head taller than me."
