Time passed quickly, and by June, spring planting was basically over. The 43rd Army issued an internal notice that the military compound and military factory were about to start expansion.

Not only will two more family buildings be built, but a kindergarten, a military primary school, a post office and a bank will also be built within the compound, and public bathrooms will be expanded.

Before, if comrades wanted to send a package or remit money home, they had to ask their comrades on leave for help. Now that the facilities are complete, the military compound is about to become a complete community that is relatively isolated from the outside world.

This is undoubtedly good news for soldiers and their families.

Firstly, life will become more convenient, and all newborns in the compound will be able to receive good-quality basic education. Secondly, the number of places for accompanying the troops will be relaxed, and more families will be reunited.

Yun Suisui was naturally happy too, at least she wouldn't have to worry about her child's education in the future.

But you don't have to become a great person in the future, but at least you should be honest, kind, patriotic and loving. Children who are educated in military schools don't have to worry about these things at all.

It was a rare occasion that Gu Jun and Gu Yan were on vacation at the same time. The two brothers were playing chess in the yard, while Yun Suisui and Aunt Yang were discussing the expansion of the compound while entertaining the children.

As they were chatting, Wang Man's voice suddenly came from outside: "Doctor Yun, are you there? There's a call from Aimin Village in Bing City!"

After the grocery store opened, Wang Man established a good relationship with a telephone operator so that he could answer and make calls more conveniently and quickly.

Seeing this, Yun Suisui shamelessly tried to use her connections and gave the grocery store's address and phone number to help them find her. Sure enough, the waiting time was shortened.

Although she didn't know what the family was calling about at this time, she still stood up and said, "I'm coming!"

Gu Jun and Gu Yan also got up and prepared to go see what instructions their mother had.

When they arrived at the place, Yun Suisui just picked up the phone and heard Gu Yue crying clearly on the other end.

She couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with Xiaoyue? Why is he crying so miserably?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qinglan quickly said, "Look at this kid, he just stayed at your place for a few days, and now he's so spoiled! He complains about everything being dirty, but he's the only one who's clean. When he was a kid, he was covered in lice and nits, but no one looked down on him!"

Yun Suisui asked carefully and found out that after coming to Yan City, the Gu family washed their bodies every day, and she would fumigate the house with insect repellent herbs from time to time, so that everyone was clean and there were no insects.

This was actually a good thing, but Gu Yue couldn't stand it when he returned.

It was fine at home, as the Gu family paid more attention to hygiene. But as soon as he went to school and saw his classmates covered in lice, he collapsed.

Especially since he originally wore the new clothes bought by his sister-in-law and went to school looking clean and pretty. However, after only two days, he felt itchy all over his body. When he scratched his head, he found lice on his hands!

He burst into tears on the spot, crying even more miserably than he did today.

It was winter at that time. Seeing him crying so pitifully, the teacher thought of a way to help him. He told him to go home and hang his clothes outside to freeze the lice to death.

"and after?"

Yun Suisui was quite curious, "Does this trick work?"

Ye Qinglan sighed and handed the phone to Gu Yue, "Let him speak for himself!"

Gu Yue took the phone and sobbed, "It's okay, it works well. I won't feel itchy anymore if I put it on again."

"Isn't that good? The lice are all frozen to death, why are you still crying?" Yun Suisui said.

"What a good thing!"

Gu Yue gritted his teeth and said, "That thing was frozen to death outside, but it came back to life once it got warm inside, and it's even more itchy!"

puff--

Yun Suisui couldn't help laughing and tears came out.

Gu Jun heard this from the side and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Gu Jun accurately complained: "Then you can't call it freezing to death, you can only call it freezing stiff."

Once it gets warmer, people will be more active. Just like people, when they are freezing outside, they have to stamp their feet and shake their hands to warm themselves up when they get back home, right?

Gu Yue burst into tears, describing the situation as he sobbed, "You didn't see the lice swarming in the seams of my clothes. My scalp was numb, and when I scratched my head... there were still lice!"

"Brother, please save me! Xiaoli and I are about to be eaten by lice! Wuuuuuu! Please save us!"

Yun Suisui laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She really didn't have the strength to hold the phone, so she gave it to Gu Jun and leaned in his arms and laughed.

Gu Jun naturally took the phone with one hand and put his arm around her with the other, saying helplessly, "Then what do you want to do?"

The crying on the other end of the phone stopped for a second, and Gu Yue seemed a little embarrassed, "Brother, can Xiaoli and I go to school with you?"

Gu Jun didn't show much expression, just asked: "What about our mother?"

Without waiting for Gu Yue to answer, Ye Qinglan said, "If he wants to go, let him go. I'm not too old to be unable to move. It's fine for me to be here alone. I can take care of the people when I have nothing to do. Your uncle is taking care of our family, so you don't have to worry!"

Gu Jun and Yun Suisui looked at each other and said, "That won't do. I'm worried about you being alone in the village. If Xiaoyue and Xiaoli want to come, you have to come too, otherwise they shouldn't come either."

Yun Suisui also said, "Yes, Mom, since we've already planted the land, you can just come over. When the autumn harvest comes, ask your uncle to hire a few people to help with the harvest. We don't need the work points."

When the house in the town was just completed, she suggested bringing Ye Qinglan over. Firstly, she could help out at home, and secondly, she was old and not in good health. Instead of being busy in the village, it would be better for her to come here to retire and enjoy family happiness.

Moreover, the military region’s resources in all aspects are indeed better, and Xiaoyue and Xiaoli can also enjoy them.

But it was spring planting at that time, and Ye Qinglan was definitely reluctant to give up her work points, so the two of them didn't mention it.

Now that the opportunity has come, Yun Suisui just said it.

After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Ye Qinglan subconsciously refused: "That won't do. The land is the root of our family!"

Gu Jun simply said, "You definitely can't stay home alone. If you don't come, let Xiaoyue stay home with you. A comrade of mine will be passing by our house on leave soon. I'll ask him to bring Xiaoli over then."

How could Gu Yue bear to hear this?

He almost jumped up and shouted, "Brother, how could you do this?!"

Gu Jun, however, was firm in his attitude. "Xiao Yue, I'm not the one you should be trying to persuade."

Gu Yue also reacted and pulled Ye Qinglan over, crying and making a fuss.

Yun Suisui felt dizzy even through the phone call.

Ye Qinglan was also very annoyed. She said "I'll think about it" twice and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Yun Suisui looked at the calm Gu Jun and said, "You are so insidious! Mom must be having a headache!"

Gu Jun curled his lips slightly, rubbed the top of her head, and said calmly: "This is an open conspiracy."

Yun Suisui gave a thumbs-up, "Great, really great!"
