Tengteng roughly knew what the vice class monitor was up to. But since the vice class monitor hadn't said anything, he'd just pretend he didn't know. "She probably wanted to figure out how to tell us apart on her own. But after trying for years, she still couldn't. Now that we're leaving, she wants to ask her sister how to tell us apart."
Nao Nao is a little less sensitive than Tengteng. "If there were a trick to it, Dad wouldn't have had to worry so much those years. Do you remember? When we were kids, Dad was most afraid of us asking him this question."
"I remember. Back then, Dad would run away whenever we asked that question."
"I wonder if Father and Mother have settled in yet? Tengteng, why is Mother going with Father this time?"
"I don't know. But with Mom here, everything will be fine. We just need to take good care of our younger siblings for now."
"Um."
Nao Nao and Tengteng discussed what they needed to prepare for the journey to find Han Bin and Xiao Man before going to rest.
On the other side, the deputy squad leader tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
The deputy squad leader has a younger sister, a year younger than her. The two sisters have shared a room since they were little. They are very close. "Sister, don't think about it. Go to sleep."
"I can't sleep. How can I tell the difference?"
Her sister thought for a moment and said, "They are quite similar in appearance and personality. Why don't you just pick one?"
"That won't do."
"Sister, what do you like about them? Mom said that only his father earns money in their family, and they have many brothers and two old men to support. Anyone who marries into their family will have to be their slave."
"Don't listen to your mother's nonsense."
“I think what Mom said makes a lot of sense. Their family definitely doesn’t have any savings. If you marry into that family, you’ll have to buy everything yourself. Not only that, you’ll also have to help take care of his younger siblings.”
The vice squad leader smiled and said, "I don't care about any of that."
"Well...his mother is so serious, aren't you...aren't you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid. My biggest headache right now is not being able to tell them apart. If I could, I would confess to one of them immediately."
"Choose one?"
"Yes. They are both excellent."
"Didn't you give that chubby girl a bag of candy today? What did she say to you?"
She said that if you look at them more closely, you'll be able to tell the difference.
"You've been looking at it for years and still can't tell the difference."
"Yes. They look so alike. They even like to wear the same clothes and have the same haircut."
"Can Lü Hui tell them apart?"
“He said he could. But every time he calls them both, he calls them together. I guess he can’t tell them apart either. That’s why he calls them both together.” She used to call them together too. Now that she wants to date one of them, she can’t just call them vaguely anymore. “If I had another year, I’d definitely be able to tell them apart.”
So what are you going to do now?
"I don't know either. I can't exactly go up to them and say, 'I like you guys, which of you would like to date me?'"
The vice-class monitor's sister glanced at him and said, "If you really say that, people definitely won't date you."
"What should I do? They're leaving in a few days."
The vice-class monitor's sister didn't have any good ideas either. "Sister, maybe... maybe you should just give up."
The vice-monitor was unwilling. "I'll ask her sister again tomorrow."
The next day, after the first class, my older sister was chatting with her deskmate when the vice class monitor, who was in charge of classes with Nao Nao and Tengteng, came over. The vice class monitor took a handful of peanuts out of his pocket and put them on the table. "Jie Jie, these are peanuts that my sister grew herself."
The older sister smiled at the vice class monitor. "Thank you, sister."
"You're welcome." The vice class monitor pulled up a chair and sat down next to her older sister. "Jie Jie, aren't you guys going to Beijing? Your classmates want to give you two little gifts, one for your brother Nao Nao and the other for your brother Tengteng. But we can't tell which one is your brother Nao Nao and which one is your brother Tengteng. Since you're leaving soon, I haven't had time to carefully distinguish the differences between your brother Nao Nao and your brother Tengteng. Jie Jie, could you tell me the differences between your brother Nao Nao and your brother Tengteng? That way, I won't give the wrong gift."
"Hmm..." the older sister thought for a moment. "Their names are different."
"Uh... what about the name?"
The older sister blinked. "We're the same except for the name."
"Uh... then... how did you tell them apart?"
"I am their younger sister."
"Uh...isn't there any other way?"
"No."
Meanwhile, Han Bin took some things to the hospital to visit Commander Zhang that morning. Commander Zhang told Han Bing about their division's situation, his attitude neither warm nor cold.
After visiting Commander Zhang, Han Bin went back to his office. Around noon, Han Bin asked Xiao Qin to go to the logistics department to invite the soldiers who had helped build the stables that day to his home for lunch.
After Xiao Qin told Xiao Liu what Han Bin meant, Xiao Liu immediately said that Xiao Man had already treated them to chicken. Xiao Qin said that this was a task assigned to him by his division commander, and if he couldn't complete it, his division commander would criticize him.
After getting off work at noon, Xiao Qin took Xiao Liu and the others to Xiao Man's house. Xiao Man and Xiao Hei weren't home. Only Lao Guo and Lao Shang were there. Lao Guo was busy in the kitchen. Lao Shang was meditating in the room.
Han Bin returned just after Xiao Qin had finished greeting Lao Shang and Lao Guo.
Han Shi and Xiao Liu chatted for a while before finishing their meal.
Xiao Qin helped Lao Guo bring the food to the table. Han Bin then invited Xiao Liu and the others to come and eat.
At first, the children were a little embarrassed. But soon they started grabbing at it. In the end, they ate all the soup in the plate by dipping their steamed buns in it.
After finishing their meal, Xiao Qin and Xiao Liu washed all the pots and pans in the kitchen.
After finishing tidying up, Xiao Liu said to Han Bin, "Commander, if you ever need any heavy lifting at home, just let us know."
Han Bin smiled and said, "Okay."
After leaving Han Bin's house, Xiao Liu asked Xiao Tai, "Are those two old people relatives of Commander Han?"
"No. They are elderly people living alone who were adopted by the teacher's wife."
After Xiao Liu and his team returned, the logistics staff asked them what delicious food Han Bin had treated them to.
Soon, everyone in the logistics department knew that Xiaoman had adopted two elderly people living alone, one of whom was an exceptionally good cook.
Deputy Division Commander He and his colleagues had always wanted to find fault with Han Bin. Soon, they found out too. They wanted to make an issue of this. However, upon closer inspection, they discovered that the two elderly people not only had proper permits, but had also been living in Han Bin's house for over ten years.
A few days later, Grandma Luo also learned that Xiaoman's family had an old man who was an exceptionally good cook. This made Grandma Luo's impression of Xiaoman even worse.
After Commander Luo returned, Old Mrs. Luo told him about it. "Old Luo, can Commander Han support ten people with his own money?"
