It often snows in the north in winter, especially in the mountains, where the snow often accumulates to half a meter deep. In the extremely cold weather, it is not possible to go to the mountains for training often. The soldiers in the camp also began to take some cultural classes. Every night, they would go to the conference room with small stools and notebooks to attend classes. Mi Zehai presided over the work, and Political Commissar Bai would sometimes come to listen to their progress in class when he was free. The soldiers were still in high spirits.
Political Commissar Bai was very satisfied. Seeing that Mi Zehai didn't have many books on hand, he specially asked an old friend to get some military theory books left over from last year's military academy class. These were issued by the army, and some of them were marked with key points, which were quite useful. At the same time, in addition to military theory, Chinese and politics, which were required for the unified examination, also had to be studied. Mi Zehai took the lead and checked the notes every weekend and gave them grades. Some new recruits had already begun to stand out and their grades seemed good.
Mi Zehai was very happy about this. He had been leading troops for several years. He was very proud of the achievements of his soldiers, which made him as proud as himself.
These had no effect on Mi Yang. He was now four months old and could move around in a very small area. The farthest and most frequently visited place was Xiaobai Luochuan's home.
After walking around for a while, Mi Yang found that the military camp had started to clean the houses and hang red lanterns, and everyone's face began to look happy.
Cheng Qing pulled up his little scarf, kissed his cold little face, and said with a smile: "It's the New Year, it's Yangyang's first time to celebrate the New Year!"
Mi Yang blinked his eyes, the New Year is coming.
Mi Yang spent the Spring Festival of 1989 in the military camp. He didn’t have a deep impression of the military camp life when he was still young. He only remembered that several uncles from the same hometown as his father often visited him and gave him maltose sticks covered with sesame seeds and one or two toys. Going through it again in such a serious way gave him a sense of novelty.
Cheng Qing has been learning how to knit from Mrs. Bai recently. She doesn't have much wool on hand, and she took apart an old sweater. She plans to take advantage of the next few days to knit a sweater with a new style as a New Year's gift for Mi Zehai. He always leads troops on the front line, and his clothes are worn out.
Mrs. Bai came here because she didn't want to be separated from her husband, and she brought her children with her to keep him company. It was lonely in the military camp, and it was more fun to have Cheng Qing as a companion. Cheng Qing was sensible and reasonable, so Mrs. Bai was happy to interact with her more. Not only did they knit sweaters, but the two of them also had more things to talk about when they sat down, and their relationship improved a lot.
Mi Yang's situation was even simpler. He brought his own bottle with him, and occasionally little Bai Luochuan would snatch some milk from him. He would practice his hand strength and try to get it back, and basically the whole morning was gone.
Little Bai Luochuan has started to grow his milk teeth, and some small white teeth as big as rice grains have emerged. He especially likes to chew things.
Mi Yang's milk bottle has been damaged a lot. He has changed three pacifiers this month, but he can't stop this little robber. Mrs. Bai gave him a new milk bottle, but it didn't work. Little Master Bai has always believed that the things in Mi Yang's hand are good. Even if Mi Yang bites his hand, he will sit by and drool. Once he bit Mi Yang's hand. Mi Yang was not to be outdone. He first "poofed" him, and then started to cry and call adults with a fake cry - Bai Luochuan was 6 months old, and he was 4 months old. Who cares about crying and embarrassment? A good man does not suffer a loss in front of him. Getting out of the situation is the first priority.
It was the same today. Mi Yang was drinking milk in big gulps while staring at Xiaobai Luochuan vigilantly. However, the little devil was being held and fed egg yolk. Probably because this was just added at the beginning, he was eating with gusto and made an exception without paying attention to the bottle.
After Cheng Qing finished feeding them, he waited for a while and asked, "Sister Luo, shall we start now?"
Mrs. Bai nodded and said, "Okay."
Before Mi Yang could figure out what was going on, he and Xiaobai Luochuan were carried to the inner room. In the middle of the room was a small bathtub with a small tent-like thing on top to prevent heat loss. Mi Yang only had time to kick his feet before his mother quickly stripped him of his clothes and put him into the bathtub. With a "plop", Xiaobai Luochuan was also let in naked, and sat in the bathtub with him face to face and eye to eye.
Mi Yang turned around and tried to leave, but as a little baby, his ability to resist was not even as strong as that of a cat, and he was soon pinned down and beaten.
The young master Xiaobai opposite was obviously not taking a bath like this for the first time. He was playing while washing and laughing.
Cheng Qing wrapped Mi Yang in a thick towel and carried him to the bed. While taking out the new clothes he brought, he teased him, "It's New Year's Day. Take a bath and wear new clothes. Are you happy, Yang Yang?"
Mi Yang was not very happy. He thought it was fine to just wipe with a hot towel at home. The first time he took a bath in the tub was with Bai Luochuan. This always reminded him of the time when they took a hot spring bath together in their previous life. At that time, Master Bai was in the worst temper, and he was also the most rebellious and not afraid of making trouble. He brought a little star to the party. The little star outside was crying and making a fuss. Master Bai had a sour face and he and him occupied one side of the luxurious and spacious hot spring pool, and they didn't talk to each other. Mi Yang was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Master Bai drank ice wine with a heavy look in his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking...
Just as Mi Yang was thinking, a chubby little face suddenly appeared in front of him, smiling at him with its little white teeth showing.
To be fair, Bai Luochuan has been beautiful since he was a child. With this face, he is more than qualified to star in a milk powder commercial.
After taking a bath, Master Bai was soft and wet, with chubby cheeks and snow-white skin, as white as a peeled egg. He sat there, playing with a building block and babbling. His hair, which had been wiped twice, stood up a little.
Mi Yang packed up much faster than him. He had already put on his little cotton pants. Cheng Qing put a pair of overalls on him on the outside, which was very cute.
Mrs. Bai also saw it and said, "Wow, Yangyang's clothes are so beautiful, are they new?"
Cheng Qing said embarrassedly: "I made this myself. If Sister Luo likes it, I will make one for Luochuan too? Children's clothes are made very quickly. I'll rush to make them these two days. It's just right for the New Year to wear new clothes."
Mrs. Bai didn't bother to be polite with her. She nodded and smiled, "That's great. There's no shopping mall nearby. I'm worried about what to wear for the baby in a few days."
