Fire Captain

Chapter 45 Ode to Joy 01

Bai Ziyang had been doing horse stance in the yard for half an hour, and it looked like he would have to do it for another half an hour. Looking at the old man listening to the radio and enjoying the cool air under the big tree, Bai Ziyang had the urge to rebel.

The background of this time travel is quite good. He is a third-generation red with a good family background. His grandfather is an old general. He lives well in the Beijing Military Region compound. There are guards standing guard for you, and you can play around in the three-story villa. There is a nanny who cooks for you, so you don't have to worry about food and drink. There are also other old men and women to keep you company. How nice.

Bai Ziyang's parents are the commander of a military district and the director of a military hospital respectively. They are away from home all year round. As the saying goes, when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king. Bai Ziyang thought he could live the life of a legendary dandy. He even thought about which road he would go for racing at night. In his dreams, there was a group of little girls throwing themselves at him. Although he is only twelve years old now, he still has great ambitions. Before he could laugh out loud, he was awakened from his beautiful dream. The old man insisted that fallen leaves return to their roots and he had to go back to his hometown.

Bai's father and mother couldn't persuade him, but Grandpa Bai insisted on coming back. Fortunately, there were only four people in their family, so the old man left as soon as he said he would, and he also packed up his bags and sent Bai Ziyang over.

A place called Nantong. If the old man hadn't mentioned it, Bai Ziyang really wouldn't have known there was such a place. The three-story villa was replaced with a two-story board house with a small courtyard, which was fine, but where was my luxury car? Where were the guards who went out? Fortunately, there was a nanny who took care of the cooking...

Now Bai Ziyang has just graduated from elementary school and is on summer vacation. He will report to Nantong No. 1 Middle School when school starts in two months. Grandpa Bai thinks that he is not a good person for playing all day, so he caught him and said he would train him, starting with horse stance. Although ancient martial arts have declined, the Bai family still has a set of family skills. It is said that now is a good time for him to lay a foundation, so that he can get twice the result with half the effort when he joins the army in the future. Bai Ziyang is sweating in his heart: There are many good things in my space, so why do I need to lay a foundation like this? By then, any food he eats can cleanse his essence and marrow, and he will be reborn, and it will be effortless to go to the fifth floor in one breath.

But it's useless to say all this, so I'd better just do the horse stance honestly. When Bai Ziyang checked the time for the 32nd time, the system suddenly popped up and said, "The target has appeared, host, please pay attention."

Bai Ziyang shook his head and said, "Where? Where?" As he was looking for it, he saw a little girl walking towards him on the side road. She was carrying a basket of vegetables. She was in a hurry and kept wiping the sweat from her forehead in the scorching heat.

Bai Ziyang couldn't help but say to the system: Is this my heroine? How old is she?

System: Yes. She is about the same age as you, and we are childhood sweethearts.

Bai Ziyang watched the little girl walk into the residential building next to him. Bai Ziyang's small building was built by ordinary residents, not a luxurious villa, so next to it was a six-story residential building where ordinary people lived. Bai Ziyang and his family, an old man and a child, who had just moved in, had no other attractions except that they attracted a few more glances at the beginning.

"Xiaoyang, it's time for dinner!" The nanny Qingyi's voice called back Bai Ziyang's attention.

The little girl was picking and washing vegetables on the third-floor balcony opposite. When I was carrying the vegetables home, I saw the handsome boy from the newly moved-in grandparents' duo doing horse stance under the scorching sun? It seemed that this kind of action could only be seen on TV or in martial arts movies. I didn't expect that there are still people doing horse stance so seriously today. Thinking of the boy's grinning expression, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Fan Shengmei, why are you so slow when I asked you to pick some vegetables? Do you want to starve your father and brother to death?" The woman next to her immediately scolded her when she saw the little girl's smile.

Fan Shengmei quickly withdrew her thoughts and focused on the dish in her hand.

"Wake up, get up!" Bai Ziyang was sleeping soundly with his arms around his pillow, but he didn't expect Grandpa Bai to come in and slap him on the back.

Bai Ziyang squinted his eyes and watched the sky just getting light. He couldn't help but shout, "Master, you are my real master!"

Grandpa Bai said without any appreciation: "Gather in the yard in three minutes." Then he turned and left.

Bai Ziyang rolled off the bed and onto the floor, muttering, "You're only training me, and you need to train the whole group?"

Mr. Bai was feeling frustrated because he had no soldiers under his command, so he used Bai Ziyang as a soldier for training. When he saw Bai Ziyang coming to the yard, he shouted, "At ease, stand at attention! Turn right, run... go!"

Bai Ziyang had a gloomy expression on his face and ran out of the yard with footsteps. They had just moved in a few days ago, and it was very hot, so Bai Ziyang didn't like to walk around. Therefore, he didn't know the surrounding area very well. During this morning run, Bai Ziyang planned to walk around.

After running for an hour, when he was about to come back at about six o'clock, he saw his "female protagonist" coming out of the corridor, holding a lunch box in her hand, apparently going to buy breakfast. Bai Ziyang thought: Is there no one else in her house? Why do I always see her walking alone? I was embarrassed to look at her for too long, afraid that people would think she was a pervert, so I passed by her curiously.

Fan Shengmei got up early in the morning to buy breakfast for the whole family. As soon as she walked out of the corridor, she saw the interesting boy from yesterday, running slowly towards the rising sun, sweating and full of energy. Fan Shengmei thought that maybe she would never forget that morning, the boy facing the rising sun, the sunshine that could dispel her darkness.

This happened every day for the next half month. After morning exercises, he would do horse stance as usual, and then he would practice the legendary inner strength. It was amazing to think about it. One day after lunch, Bai Ziyang wiped his mouth and said, "Grandpa, I'm going out to play basketball with my friends this afternoon!" He put down his bowl and chopsticks and ran away. Just kidding, with Bai Ziyang's skills, how could he not make friends after being here for more than half a month? Here are a group of little brats who are not even as tall as a basketball rack, running around on the basketball court in the community. Grandpa Bai shouted from behind Bai Ziyang, "Buy a bottle of soda for each of your friends in this hot weather. Don't be stingy... Do you have enough money?"

Bai Ziyang waved his hand without even turning his head and said, "I know... enough to spend..."

Fan Shengmei put away the dishes and took them to the kitchen to wash them. After washing the dishes, she went to the balcony to wash clothes. From a distance, she saw a group of classmates of average age sweating hard on the basketball court. Although the weather was very hot, it could not stop their happy smiles. Thinking about how her classmates had asked her to play together before, but she was blocked by Fan's mother, she looked at the clothes in her hands and decided to wash them quickly, otherwise her eldest brother would make a fuss about having no clothes to wear.

In a blink of an eye, Bai Ziyang thought that he had been here for almost two months. In ten days or so, school would start. Bai Ziyang took advantage of the free time in the afternoon to go shopping in the mall. His mother was going to have a birthday, and Bai Ziyang planned to choose a gift for his mother. In two days, Bai's father and mother would come to visit his grandfather and send him to school, so it would be a good gift for her. His mother was still very nice to him, of course, when she didn't lose her temper.

Although this place is a bit small, it still has everything, and there are large shopping malls, so life is still quite convenient. Bai Ziyang walked around the three floors of the mall for several times, but he didn't know what to buy. He wanted to buy a bracelet, which was pretty, but Bai's mother didn't have time to wear it. It seemed that he shouldn't buy a ring by himself. If his father knew about it, it would be a problem. As for buying a bag, he didn't like any of them, mainly because all the bags he saw were the same style... How about a pair of shoes? If he didn't try them on, he was afraid they wouldn't fit... In the end, Bai Ziyang held a popsicle in his mouth and squatted at the entrance of the mall, trying to calm down. His eyes were tired just now.

On the eve of the start of school, Fan Shengmei finally had time to go shopping with her classmates. With the only twenty yuan she had, which she had saved for a long time, she planned to go shopping with her classmates, and then buy some pens and notebooks at the stationery store inside, waiting for the start of school. She would be promoted to junior high school soon after the start of school. I heard that junior high school students would use ballpoint pens instead of pencils... She was very happy and excited just thinking about going to school. Huh? Why is he here?

Fan Shengmei saw Bai Ziyang at a glance. He was squatting at the entrance of the mall, enjoying the air conditioning with a popsicle in his mouth. His eyes were dull and it was obvious that he was daydreaming. He thought about how she had met him many times before, but she didn't seem to know his name until now. Just then, her friend called her, and Fan Shengmei quickly turned around and laughed with her friend. When she passed by Bai Ziyang, she didn't stop.

Bai Ziyang bit off the popsicle with a crunchy sound, and finally decided to buy a piece of clothing, which would be suitable for both sizes. Hey, Bai Ziyang was quite surprised when he saw his "heroine": Doesn't she have to do housework today? Thinking of the several times they met before, she seemed to be very busy every time... Seeing her smiling and entering the mall with her friends, he thought: I didn't expect her to be so beautiful when she smiles.

The day before school started, Bai Ziyang came back from morning exercise and saw an ordinary army green jeep parked at the door of his house. Two people got out of it. They were Bai's father and mother. Bai Ziyang suddenly jumped out from behind, got in between the two people, hugged them on the left and right, and shouted happily: "Dad and Mom!"

Bai Ma looked at her eldest son and rubbed his head happily, saying with a smile: "This child is still making trouble even at this age."

Bai Ziyang took Bai Ma's arm and said, "Mom, I'm still a baby."

Bai's father said sourly from behind: "Yes, a baby of 1.6 meters!" (I originally wanted to write 1.7 meters, leaving some margin for high school)

Bai Ziyang made a face at him, then happily took the two of them into the yard. From a distance, one could see him gesticulating and talking about something, and the happy smiling faces of the family of three.

Fan Shengmei held breakfast and hid behind a tree, watching with envy.

Bai's father and mother have special jobs and are busy, so it is not easy for them to take out two days to handle the admission procedures for Bai Ziyang and send him to school. After sending Bai Ziyang, they have to rush back to the military area to continue their work.

On the first day of school, the main thing to do was to divide the classes and then introduce the teachers. The head teacher was a female teacher named Wang. The students got to know each other. Most of the students here were from nearby children. Many of them might have been in the same class in elementary school. Even if they were not familiar with each other, they looked familiar. After a while, they became familiar with each other. After Teacher Wang adjusted the seats, Bai Ziyang was left as an outsider, and no one knew him. Teacher Wang looked around and pointed and said, "You just sit there."

Bai Ziyang walked over, looked at his deskmate and said, "Hello, my name is Bai Ziyang."

His deskmate smiled and nodded and said, "Hello, my name is Fan Shengmei."

My hair is just beginning to fall, I am picking flowers in front of the door. My lover comes riding on a bamboo horse, playing with green plums around the bed. We live together in Changganli, and there is no suspicion between the two children.
