Learning about his parents' situation and her situation from the letter finally put his mind at ease.
Not only that, but when she heard about Mianmian's situation from someone else again, she didn't know what to say.
A little girl dared to follow enemy agents, but then again, they had been learning skills from their master since they were young.
They were all born into military families, so they were indeed more sensitive and bolder than others.
But she was too bold. She made such a fuss out of nowhere, and it actually caused such a huge stir.
It's precisely because she lives in the countryside that she's in the city; otherwise, she would have faced retaliation.
However, for some reason, I would often think of the little girl in my spare time, and it wasn't until I saw her again that I realized I had already put her in my heart.
However, at this time, the girl was not yet an adult, but in any case, she understood her own feelings.
Then we have to tell her what to do if she gets a crush on someone.
Can he just stand by and watch his little girl marry someone else?
That's impossible, so from then on he would go to see her whenever he had free time.
Fortunately, due to the enemy spy incident, her safety was taken into consideration by the higher-ups, and it was also deemed unsuitable for her to continue working in the original brigade.
So they moved her to a different spot, and surprisingly, this brought the two of them closer together.
I still remember the surprised look on her face when I confessed my feelings to her.
"What? Third Brother, are you out of your mind? Why are you talking nonsense?"
“Mianmian, Third Brother really didn’t talk nonsense. If you don’t believe me, Third Brother can test it against me…”
"Stop, can you let me catch my breath? Let me calm down."
Seeing her like this, I knew she couldn't accept it for the time being. After all, in her eyes, I had always been her brother, and even if I was her brother, nothing had happened.
They weren't related by blood; they were just fellow disciples. It's not like it's impossible.
Besides, he remembered that when he was a child, his father had mentioned to his master and Uncle Li that the two families wanted to arrange a marriage between their children, but his master and Uncle Li did not agree.
But isn't it too late for the baby now? I'm her senior brother, after all. Even if Master and Uncle Li were still alive, I'm definitely more suitable for the little girl than anyone else.
Rather, if the little girl were to marry him, his master and Uncle Li would surely be at ease.
I was initially worried that the girl wouldn't agree, but not long after, she said she could give it a try.
Although I didn't know what she meant by "give it a try," I took it as her agreement.
Fortunately, they are close to each other now, so even if he is busy, he can still take care of her.
Even so, living nearby doesn't mean I can help her often; she basically still has to rely on herself.
Since having children, she has not only had to take care of her own children, but also the children of her older brother and second sister.
To be honest, sometimes I really don't want her to be so tired, but there are always reasons why it can't be done, whether it's with my eldest brother or my second sister.
I would never agree to anything unless there was absolutely no other way.
Every time I had a break, I would come home to find my children making a ruckus. At first, I thought it was just a lot of fun, but after a while, all that was left was the endless arguments.
Before I even entered the door, I could hear those little guys arguing again.
"It was Third Brother who accidentally hit me first! Why should I apologize?"
"I didn't mean to, I'm sorry."
"Hmph, I'll forgive you for now! Then tell me, Xiao Wu, why did you attack me from behind?"
"I, I..."
"Xiao Wu, let me tell you, my mom just said that you have to recognize the mistakes you've made."
Otherwise, none of us will be able to lift the standing punishment, and we can't even help in the process. You'd better think of something quickly.
I saw my mom making delicious food there. If you delay our meal, I'll give you a good beating later, hmph.
"Fourth Brother, I... I didn't mean to, it was just an accident."
I thought everyone was just joking around. I never imagined things would turn out like this.
"Alright, Xiao Si, stop making things difficult for Xiao Wu. Let's just stay here and reflect on our mistakes."
Didn't Mom say that after facing the wall in self-reflection for an hour, a verbal apology would suffice?
Now everyone should think about how to write a self-criticism when the time comes!
Sigh! Luckily, we don't know many words yet, and besides, Mom hasn't thought of this. Otherwise, we'd have to write a written self-criticism, and if that happened, we'd be in big trouble!
"Brother, is writing a self-criticism difficult?"
"Little Six, the issue now isn't whether it's difficult or not, but whether you can write it down and recognize the characters."
If you don't know how to write or don't recognize the characters, how can you write a written self-criticism?
"I, I don't want to write a written self-criticism. I only know my own name now, but I can't even write it. How can I write a written self-criticism?"
Waaaaah, waaaaah.
"Little Six, don't cry. If you offend your aunt, you'll be punished even more severely later."
"Waaah, oh, waaaah~ waaah."
And so, upon entering the house, I saw a row of tiny children standing there.
To be honest, I've seen scenes like this countless times.
Whenever anyone makes a mistake, they are all punished by standing in the corner. What can be done about it?
This method is most effective when there are many children in the family and only one elder is around.
"Dad, you're back."
Third Uncle
Third Uncle
Seeing their expectant faces as he tried to save them, he dared not say a word at this moment and could only speak bluntly.
"What, you guys made a mistake again? Since you made a mistake, then you should reflect on it properly by facing the wall."
Try to pass the self-criticism review on the first try later, otherwise the punishment will only get longer and longer.
"Oh no! Dad, really?"
"Don't you guys know? We've been punished so many times already, don't you know that yourselves?"
"oh!"
And so, even after returning to Beijing, whether they lived in a family compound or moved to a hutong, none of these children could escape punishment, no matter who made a mistake, as long as they were at home.
Why did I, as the older brother, fail to set a good example for my younger siblings?
That's why. Their relationship is better than that of children from ordinary families.
Even though they weren't born to the same parents, there wasn't much of a barrier between them.
It's clear that their relationship is very deep, but there are exceptions. Fortunately, the exception is only one person, not all of them.
