Mrs. Bai and Luo Jiangyuan were also alarmed. Mrs. Bai still had worry in her eyes, and she looked more at her son. Luo Jiangyuan sat on the sofa and looked at Mi Yang with a little curiosity. She had lived here for a while, and she always thought Mi Yang was well-behaved and sensible. She had never seen this child speak loudly to anyone. How could she "take revenge"
Little Ji Baian beside him couldn't help but gesture and repeat it to everyone, and finally sighed: "That's great, I also want someone to help me fight like this, it's so cool!"
Luo Jiangyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and gently tapped his head, "You're using the wrong words again, is there really a way to describe it like this?"
Little Ji Baian looked at Mi Yang with sparkling eyes, full of anticipation.
Bai Luochuan had been listening attentively since just now, with a serious expression, and his eyes were also looking at Mi Yang. On the contrary, Mi Yang stood there very well-behaved, not at all like a little military strategist who was commanding a group fight.
After listening to this, Mrs. Bai turned her attention to Mi Yang. She had received higher education and would normally get angry when encountering such things. But if Mi Yang hadn't brought that group of children to block the door to seek justice, it would have been difficult for them as adults to step forward and argue. It was a relief to just listen to them.
Mr. Bai only listened to half of it on the way, but now he listened to the whole thing very seriously. He felt relieved when he found that his child didn't suffer any loss. Especially when he heard Mi Yang scare the child, he couldn't help but shook his head and laughed: "This sounds like what Luo Chuan said."
Mrs. Bai also laughed and said, "Dad, you don't know, Yangyang is very honest. He has been following Luochuan since he was a child. These must have been taught by Luochuan. He learned to speak from Luochuan when he was a child."
Bai Luochuan was a little proud and nodded, "That's true."
Mrs. Bai laughed angrily, tapped his head and said, "You are still so proud!"
Mr. Bai was amused and asked Mi Yang: "Did you learn to speak from Luochuan?"
Mi Yang: “…Yes.”
Mr. Bai smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Grandpa wants to ask you, you were already fed with mud at that time, why did you scare the children?"
Mi Yang said: "Because his mouth smells bad and is not clean, I just want to purify it and filter out the dirt." He spoke slowly, thinking as he spoke. He was so angry at the time that he didn't think much about it, but now he has to rack his brains to think of how to explain it. "My dad said that sometimes when you can't find a clean water source in the wild, there will be lime disinfection and filtration, but you must not get it directly on your body, otherwise it will be very dangerous. I want to teach him a lesson, but my parents said not to hurt other children... Grandpa Bai, am I doing the right thing?"
"You did the right thing." Mr. Bai nodded with a smile: "Mi Zehai taught you well. Children nowadays should be like you. Children from our field military region must know this basic knowledge of the field."
Bai Lao joined the army at the age of twelve. In those days, an eight-year-old child could be half an adult. He had experienced all kinds of hardships and did not spoil his children. Otherwise, he would not have taken his grandson to the mountains for training. However, Bai Luochuan believed in fighting. The sudden outburst of Mi Yang, who had always been gentle and polite, surprised him a little. After being surprised, he liked him more.
He is reasonable and well-reasoned, doesn't cause trouble, but also never suffers any loss on principle. He is really a good child.
Old Master Bai usually thought that his grandson had a hot temper, but when he saw Mi Yang at this moment, he felt that Mi Yang was a very good whetstone, and it would be just right for the two of them to get along and complement each other.
With such thoughts, his gaze towards Mi Yang softened a lot. He took out a pen from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Here, this is your reward for today."
Mrs. Bai whispered beside him, "Dad, they give rewards for fighting, right..."
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Bai waved his hand and said, "Everything here is up to me. I will reward anyone who makes sense and does a good job. People in our Bai family can endure hardships, but they will never suffer losses!"
Mi Yang hesitated for a moment and took the pen. In return, Mr. Bai's rough big hand rubbed his head hard, and the old man's strong laughter filled his head.
Mi Yang looked up and asked, "Grandpa Bai, Li Mao said my father was injured in the hospital. What happened to my father?"
Mr. Bai hesitated for a moment, and said without hiding anything from him, "Yangyang, you're a big boy now, so I'll tell you. Your dad was slightly injured during actual combat training, and the shrapnel has been removed. His condition has stabilized, and your mom is taking care of him in the hospital now. He'll be able to start rehabilitation in a month or so." The old man patted his shoulder soothingly, saying, "Don't worry, it's okay now. If you want to go see them, I can send a car to take you there. Do you want to go see them?"
Mi Yang thought about it seriously for a while, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, I can't help much if I go, so I'd better wait for them to come back at home."
Mr. Bai was very pleased, he patted his little head and said: "You are a good boy."
When Mi Yang went upstairs, he was still a little worried. This was something he had never experienced in his previous life, so he didn't know how seriously his father was injured. However, judging from the tone of Cheng Qing's voice when he called last time and the comforting tone of Mr. Bai this time, it seemed that the dangerous period had passed.
Mi Yang sighed. He felt that it was not easy for his father to survive in the army.
After today's small group fight, the adults in the family didn't let the children go out to play. Bai Luochuan needed to recuperate, so Mi Yang sat beside him to accompany him. Little Ji Baian wanted to follow, but was ruthlessly kicked out by Master Bai. Master Bai narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm not used to others coming into my bedroom."
Ji Baian squeezed at the door, looking inside and said, "Where's Mi Yang? He's already in there, and he's still sleeping inside!"
Bai Luochuan said: "He is not an outsider."
Ji Baian wanted to squeeze in, "Neither am I... Cousin, just let me in. Can't I just sit there without saying anything?"
Bai Luochuan asked: "Then are you obedient?"
Ji Baian immediately said: "Be obedient!"
Bai Luochuan said coldly: "Then let go now and take a step back."
Little Ji Baian really let go of the door handle and took a small step back. Before he could react, the wooden door in front of him slammed shut in front of him.
Ji Baian was scratching the door outside. Master Bai pretended not to hear him and lay on the small bed with his eyes closed to rest. Mi Yang glanced at the door and followed his example, flipping through a storybook, trying to find some interesting stories to read to him.
Bai Luochuan couldn't lie still while listening to him flipping through the book, so he turned sideways and deliberately asked him, "Why did you learn how to fight with others today?"
Mi Yang lowered his head and read a book while saying: "Because he threw lime at you, it was so dangerous, I got angry."
Bai Luochuan became happy.
He lay there admiring himself for a while, then reached out and pulled Mi Yang to look closer into his eyes. Mi Yang knelt beside the bed and looked up for a while. His pupils were clearly black and white, with no red, so it seemed that there was nothing wrong.
Bai Luochuan stared at him without blinking and asked seriously, "Do many people say this about you?"
Mi Yang didn't understand, "Huh?"
Bai Luochuan said: "You were playing with me, and they said something about you, why didn't you tell me?"
Mi Yang shook his head and said, "No, it's just their family, and it's not a big deal."
Bai Luochuan looked at him for a while, and suddenly said proudly: "Because I'm injured, it's a big deal, right?"
Mi Yang: “???”
Bai Luochuan laughed happily, and after laughing for a while, he began to order Mi Yang to do things as a matter of course, using his patient status: "I want to hear the fifth story, read it to me."
Mi Yang said: "But I read it yesterday."
Bai Luochuan wrinkled his nose and snorted, "I don't care, I'll just listen to this one."
Mi Yang turned to that page and read it to him. Bai Luochuan had a good memory and had memorized some parts. He could hear when Mi Yang misread a word or two and pointed it out to him with his eyes closed. Mi Yang laughed angrily and pushed the book to him: "You recite it yourself, I won't read it anymore."
Bai Luochuan rolled onto Mi Yang's small pillow and laughed too. His eyelashes were very long, casting a small dense shadow. He closed his eyes and said lazily, "Then I won't recite anymore. Bring two glasses of juice and we'll drink together. I'm thirsty from reciting all the words."
In the evening, Political Commissar Bai returned.
Mrs. Bai did not mention this matter at the dinner table. She waited until she returned to the bedroom before she slowly told him about it. The Luo family was also protective of their son. They did not say much outside, but in the bedroom they could not help but mutter a few words in front of her husband. Apart from the mistakes of Captain Li's family, their remaining concerns turned to their son's academic problems.
Mrs. Bai sat on the dressing table and combed her hair while saying, "Luochuan won't do. This environment is not conducive to children's learning. I'm worried that he won't be able to keep up when he goes to Shanghai." She frowned, "I used to think that elementary school was fine. If he wanted to catch up with some lessons, it wouldn't be too late to start in junior high school. We also invited Teacher Wei to teach him, and he is no worse than children from other places, but now..."
Political Commissar Bai has always been a man of few words. He just looked up at his wife with a gentle gaze: "You want to transfer Luochuan to another school, right?"
Mrs. Bai sat there and sighed, then looked up at her husband: "Luochuan can't stay here any longer."
Political Commissar Bai said, "Let's take our time on this matter. Dad still needs to do some work."
Mrs. Bai bit her lip and nodded.
Mi Yang became famous, and the children in the compound participated in it more or less. No one said anything bad about Mi Yang, but instead they all imitated the unreasonable behavior of Captain Li's children. Their own children said so, and the parents also had opinions about Captain Li's family, especially since Mi Yang was an excellent student who skipped a grade, and Mi Zehai and his wife had made good friends in the past few years. The parents had a preconceived notion in their minds, and now they were biased towards Mi Yang.
Captain Li's life was not easy. Although no one deliberately tripped him up, he still had to face strict requirements on some daily issues. His professional ability was average, and he was very busy. He was very grateful that he was not demoted, let alone promoted. Not long after, he was sent to the grassroots because of a mistake at work. After a few years of poverty, he was transferred to the local area and gradually disappeared.
