Xiaoman nodded.
"Tell me quickly." This matter concerns Xiaoman, and Han Bin won't feel at ease until it's resolved.
Commander Wang summoned him to ask if he had any good suggestions.
Xiaoman said four words: "Disrupt the morale of the army."
"Disrupting morale?"
“Yes. Historically, opposing sides have always tried to disrupt the morale of the other side.” Xiaoman looked at Han Bin: “You must have encountered something like this before, right?”
Han Bin nodded. "You mean to portray this incident as a conspiracy against soldiers, with the aim of creating panic within the military?"
"Yes. Throughout history, there have often been people who used the name of ghosts and gods to stir up trouble."
Han Bin thought about it and decided it was a good idea: "I'll go and talk to Commander Wang."
"Um."
After listening to this, Commander Wang had someone call Chen Chuan over.
All three felt that the longer this matter dragged on, the worse the consequences would be. Furthermore, the enemy certainly had many methods at their disposal: sending spies, enticing and corrupting officials, spreading rumors, and using ordinary people to gather information for them…
Although the enemy didn't do this, they can use it to serve as a warning to the soldiers. In addition, Commander Wang has always wanted to invite military academy instructors to the military region to give lectures to the soldiers.
After Chen Chuan found out, he took the responsibility for the matter.
The next day, Commander Wang called a meeting. "Comrades, the matter that Comrade Chen Chuan encountered a few days ago has been investigated. It wasn't a monster; it was someone playing tricks. Comrades, the enemy has many methods. To enhance everyone's awareness of prevention, I plan to invite some teachers from the military academy to give lessons to the soldiers. If it's effective, we'll invite them to give lessons to the soldiers more often. In the past, the officers would go out to learn and then teach the soldiers. This time, we'll invite the teachers here so they can teach the soldiers directly."
Two days later, the military academy instructors arrived. The soldiers were very enthusiastic. The instructors were also very dedicated. During their time there, they discovered several geniuses. Later, these individuals all became experts in military science.
The teachers stayed at the military region for half a month. During that time, the soldiers learned a great deal. Even after the teachers left, the soldiers remained highly motivated to learn.
Previously, most soldiers would go back to their dormitories after training. Now, most soldiers go to the reading room after training. Before, there were many empty seats in the reading room; now, many soldiers stand to read.
After Commander Wang learned about this, he discussed it with the military academy. After that, the military academy would periodically send people over to give lectures to the soldiers on nudity.
In addition, Commander Wang built three reading rooms and ten discussion rooms.
The following year, the number of people admitted to military academies increased significantly.
Before he knew it, Han Bin's vacation was over. He held Xiao Man tightly, reluctant to leave.
Xiaoman patted his face: "Good boy."
Han Bin held Xiaoman and shook her: "I don't want to go."
Xiaoman kissed him. "What? Do you want to be outdone by your soldiers?"
"In no mood."
"Then why aren't you leaving?"
"I can't bear to part with you, I can't bear to part with Naonao, I can't bear to part with Tengteng, I can't bear to part with Mom, I can't bear to part with Uncle Guo, I can't bear to part with Uncle Shang, I can't bear to part with Xiao Hei, I can't bear to part with the trees in the yard, I can't bear to part with..."
Stop! Get out.
"I won't leave."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Then I'll throw you out."
Han Bin bit Xiaoman's cheek. "Let me stay a little longer."
"If you don't leave now, I'm really going to throw it away."
Han Bin bit Xiaoman's cheek again: "If only you could shrink, I could put you in my pocket and take you wherever I go."
Xiaoman looked up at the roof and said, "Get out."
"Let me hold you a little longer."
Xiaoman ripped Han Bin off her: "Get lost."
Han Bin lingered for a while longer before coming out of the house with Xiaoman. Everyone was already waiting in the yard to see him off.
As soon as they came out, Nao Nao asked, "Dad, Grandma said you're going to school? Dad, is school fun? Is studying fun?"
"It's not fun."
Xiaoman glared at Han Bin.
Tang Huihui patted Han Bin on the back: "What nonsense are you talking about? What if the kids don't want to come to school to see you in the future?"
Tengteng: "Dad, Grandma said you went to school to learn skills. So... when you come back next time, will you be able to tell me apart from Naonao?"
Han Bin's face froze instantly: "Mom, Uncle Guo, Uncle Shang, Xiao Hei, Xiao Man, I'm leaving. Nao Nao, Tengteng, be good at home." After saying that, Han Bin left. He left very quickly.
Tengteng blinked: "Mom, Dad hasn't answered me yet."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Ask me again next time you come back."
Tengteng: "Okay."
Tang Huihui: "This child, if you can't tell the difference, you can't tell the difference. Why are you walking so fast? I still have so much to say."
Old Shang teased Tengteng: "You scared your dad away."
Tengteng scratched his head: "I didn't scare my dad."
Old Shang: "Ask him if he can tell the two of you apart when he comes back next time."
Tengteng blinked: "Is this a scare tactic?"
Old Shang nodded.
Nao Nao: "Dad is such a coward."
Hearing that Han Bin had left, Zhou Lihua came to find Xiaoman. Xiaoman was teaching Naonao and Tengteng to count. After Zhou Lihua arrived, Xiaoman told Naonao and Tengteng to go play with Xiao Hei.
Xiaoman poured Zhou Lihua a glass of water: "Did you need something?"
"Hmm. I wanted to ask when you're going into the mountains?"
Xiaoman raised an eyebrow: "You still dare to go?"
"dare."
"Come find me in three days, and I'll take you into the mountains."
Okay, thank you.
Xiaoman smiled.
"Well..." Zhou Lihua wanted to chat with Xiaoman for a while, but she was tongue-tied. Xiaoman seemed rather serious, so Zhou Lihua didn't know what to say: "Then I'll go back first."
"Um."
When Zhou Lihua returned, the eldest son was pouring water into the water vat. After missing two meals, the eldest, second, and third sons all started working.
Zhou Lihua went straight back to her room. Neither mother nor son spoke to each other.
The next evening, while Battalion Commander Kong was soaking his feet, Zhou Lihua told him, "I'm going into the mountains with Xiaoman tomorrow."
"What?!" Battalion Commander Kong stood up abruptly: "You still want to go into the mountains?"
"Um."
Battalion Commander Kong walked barefoot up to Zhou Lihua: "Are you crazy?"
Zhou Lihua glanced at Battalion Commander Kong and said, "I want to make money."
"Is money more important or life?"
Zhou Lihua found Battalion Commander Kong's words laughable: "Why didn't you say that last time?"
"I thought Wang Xiaoman was a woman, no matter how brave or capable she was, she wouldn't dare to go deep into the mountains. I didn't expect her to actually dare. And you, you're going to go with her?"
Zhou Lihua glanced at Battalion Commander Kong. "I'm just letting you know."
"You are not allowed to go."
Zhou Lihua turned and walked out.
"Wait, you really have to go?"
"Um."
Battalion Commander Kong knew he couldn't stop them: "Alright. Take that knife with you." That knife was Battalion Commander Kong's prized possession. It was both his trophy and his reward.
"Need not."
Battalion Commander Kong looked at Zhou Lihua and said, "We grew up together and had five children together. You wouldn't even let me ask you to hold a knife?"
"Alright then."
The next day, Xiaoman took Zhou Lihua into the mountains.
When people found out, they all thought Zhou Lihua was willing to risk her life for money.
