Stone looked at his third nephew with a face full of black lines.
"Zhang Weiyu, sometimes it's wrong to know something but not say it?"
The children on the bus all laughed.
Upon arriving at Fuzeyuan, Shi Tou didn't get out of the car. He figured he'd better hurry back and tell his family, or he might really get a beating. He nervously carried his luggage into the house.
"Shitou, why are you back? Did you get expelled from school?" Li Cuihua was very surprised to see her second son return.
"Mom, what did you say?" All my unease was dispelled by my mother's words.
Hearing her mother's words, Er Ya came out of the house, supporting her back.
"Stone, are you on holiday?"
"Second sister, be careful."
There was no holiday. It's because Er Lengzi is back, and they need to select ten people from the school to go to his place, so I signed up and got selected.
"So you're saying you're leaving on Monday?"
Shi Tou glanced furtively at his mother, who was staring at him with hostility, and nodded with difficulty.
I thought I was going to get a beating, but my mom just rolled her eyes at me and went out with her shopping basket.
"Second sister, is Mom not angry and not against it?"
"Mom was prepared long ago. What's the use of getting angry with you? She didn't want you to take the military academy entrance exam in the first place. Since you insist on going, the whole family will just grant your wish."
Thank goodness for my simple-minded brother, otherwise Mom would have been so heartbroken.
So that's how it is. Stone completely relaxed this time.
"Second sister, sit down and wait for me. I'll take the luggage in first."
Li Cuihua kept her head down, carrying a vegetable basket, her eyes red-rimmed. How could she feel at ease letting her child go to the border?
But what can we do? We couldn't stop Shitou from choosing a school, so what can we do now?
This situation was bound to happen someday. So I was already mentally prepared.
I bought a piece of meat to make dumplings tonight, and I'll buy more meat for stewing tomorrow.
When Er Lengzi and the others returned, the five children went for their afternoon nap, and he spent the entire afternoon discussing matters with the two old leaders.
Su Chen spent the day organizing his medical books, notes, and personal belongings. He packed everything up, knowing he wouldn't need it for the next few days, to avoid forgetting anything later.
The two went home that night, and it was another very harmonious night, much better than the previous day; at least they were both very happy.
Today is Friday. After finishing her class, Zhang Hongmei rushed home.
Since I started attending classes every week, I really look forward to Saturdays and Sundays.
Sanya rushed home after school that evening. She asked Lu Jing, but Lu Jing didn't tell her what was wrong, and she felt a little uneasy.
When I got home, I saw my second brother was there. "You guys are on holiday?"
Stone was so smug. "No, I'm going to the border with Brother Er Lengzi."
Sanya now knew why Sister Hongmei had asked her to come back.
She sidled up to her second brother and asked, "Mom wasn't angry? She didn't beat you?"
What are you thinking about?
"That's good."
"Hurry up and change your clothes, we're going to Fuzeyuan for dinner today."
Dinner was very lively, which is what the children love most.
Er Ya looked at her son Ping An with resentment. Ping An only greeted her and then ran away. This son of hers really broke her heart.
Cheng Guangxu patted his wife's hand and said, "It's okay. We'll have a daughter. She'll definitely be more considerate than Ping An."
"I'd like to too. But we really can't decide that."
Little Zeng Zhiyu wobbled after them, but Jinsong was much bigger and knew to lead and protect them from behind.
Liu Pengfei finally saw his friends again. The usually quiet boy was now shouting and laughing loudly.
The adults sat in the living room to rest, while the children ran around and played outside.
After dinner, the children were taken downstairs to wash up and go to bed, and Liu Pengfen definitely wouldn't go back with them.
Liu Maocai and his family of six returned home. The elderly couple didn't say anything, but they gave him all the necessary instructions.
After Cheng Guangxu accompanied his wife to take a bath, the couple returned to their room.
Only Shi Tou and San Ya remained in the courtyard.
"Second brother, even with Brother Er Lengzi around, you still have to be extra careful."
"I know, my education was worthwhile."
Sanya, please come back every week from now on. I'm afraid it will upset Mom.
"Okay, don't worry, I won't participate in any more club activities."
"Yes, I know Mom and Dad are just putting on a brave face. Don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of myself. Besides, I have Er Lengzi to look after me."
"You know the truth yourself. Didn't you see that Dad didn't drink any alcohol today? He only ate one bowl of rice?"
Shi Tou nodded. How could he not know? But this was his ideal, and now that he had the opportunity, he was determined to go.
As Er Lengzi said, this is a very good opportunity. There won't be a war there, but there will still be small-scale skirmishes. Now is the best time to accumulate military merits.
Even if we have the convenience at home, we wouldn't miss such a great opportunity.
The next morning, Su Chen tried to get up, but Er Lengzi stopped her. So the two of them didn't arrive at Fuzeyuan until after nine o'clock.
They were all going to the old lady's house at noon today. The children, having finished their morning homework, were laughing and joking, all looking forward to it.
Everything was ready over there. Zhang Hongmei sent two people with ingredients to help with the cooking. There were too many people, but Hu Aifen didn't refuse, knowing that Hongmei was just being considerate of her.
Liu Jingxiang and his wife were helping out. Ma Li's milk had come in, and now little Liu Chongyu was drinking formula, which he seemed to be adapting to quite well. He was still as chubby as ever. Children often resemble their parents.
When Hu Aifen first saw her grandson, she was initially a little disgusted by his face shape and features, which resembled Ma Li's. However, after returning to the capital, the child stopped spending evenings with the young couple and now looks more and more like Liu Aimin.
The whole family was quite happy about this. Especially the grandfather, whose eldest grandson resembled him, which was a wonderful thing.
The little guy really loves playing with others, but no one wanted to play with him, so Liu Jingxiang had no choice but to carry him and follow behind a group of children.
Zeng Zhongkang was the same way; after all, Zeng Zhiyu's path wasn't exactly smooth either.
Stone sat down next to the old lady, showering her with compliments as if they were free.
"Alright, use your cleverness on the battlefield, Stone. Think of the old folks at home."
"Grandma, I know, don't worry. I'm smart enough to be fine."
"You can't do it like this. You have to be down-to-earth and cautious, because that comes at the cost of your life."
"Grandma, I understand this principle. Please believe me, I will definitely be fine."
"Okay, that puts my mind at ease. As long as you know what you want and what you're doing, I'll be content."
