A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan

Just before dinner, her father and three older brothers finally came home. Before Cheng Ying even saw them come in, she heard her third brother Lin Yichen's clear and pleasant voice.

"Sister, where are you? Third brother is back!"

Cheng Ying came out of her room when she heard the noise and saw her three older brothers and her father walking towards her.

"Father, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, you're back!"

Lin Zeyang had come specifically to pick up his three sons, and when he saw his well-behaved daughter, he couldn't help but smile. "Tong'er, come to Daddy, look what Daddy bought for you!"

Cheng Ying then noticed that Lin Zeyang was holding two strings of candied hawthorns and some other snacks, which they must have bought on their way back.

Lin Zeyang, as if showing off a treasure, first gave his daughter a skewer of candied hawthorns, then showed her the rest, saying, "My dear daughter, what else do you want to eat? These are all little snacks that Daddy specially brought back for you from outside."

Cheng Ying looked at the food and found that there were a few things she wanted to eat. She picked out a few and then said sweetly, "Thank you, Father. You're so good to me. You love Tong'er the most."

After saying that, Cheng Ying leaned close to Lin Zeyang and gave him a kiss on the cheek. This immediately made her three older brothers jealous, especially the third brother, who loudly proclaimed, "My sister is biased! I want a kiss too!"

Cheng Ying playfully stuck her tongue out at her third brother, "I don't want my third brother to stink." Then, carrying a lot of food, she ran off to find her mother, Luo Wanyin.

This immediately caused the third brother, Lin Yichen, to yell and run after his sister!

The eldest brother, Lin Beichen, and the second brother, Lin Xingchen, were overjoyed. "Hahaha, it's the little sister's words that are most effective. Who told the third brother to always be so smug and look like he deserves a beating?"

After a period of laughter and commotion, the family washed their hands and ate their meal.

After the meal, the family moved to the living room, and once everyone was seated, they started chatting about everyday things.

The eldest son, Lin Beichen, looked at his father and said, "Father, is it after the Dragon Boat Festival that you will set off for Xuan Yue City to take the exam?"

Lin Zeyang nodded. "Yes, we need to set off as soon as possible. After all, Xuan Yue City is in Qingzhou, and the journey is long. We must make plans early."

The second son, Lin Xingchen, asked, "So, who will Father send with you? Uncle Dafu?"

Lin Zeyang frowned and said, "Originally, I didn't want Dafu to come with me. After all, there are only your mother and your sister and a few other women left at home, and I'm worried about them. But there's no suitable candidate."

At this moment, Luo Wanyin said, "Husband, we're fine. It's much safer for us to be at home than for you to go to Xuan Yue City. You should take Dafu with you! After all, it will be much more convenient for you if you need anything if he's here. I don't feel comfortable asking someone else."

Lin Zeyang said worriedly, "But I'm really worried about leaving only you women at home!"

"I will go with some close friends, and we will also pool our money to hire some bodyguards to escort us there."

Just as the two were arguing, Cheng Ying interjected, "Since you're worried, why don't you go together?"

Lin Zeyang and Luo Wanyin looked at Cheng Ying at the same time. "Tong'er, your father is going to take an exam, not to go sightseeing. It's not appropriate for us to go."

Cheng Ying knew that going to take the exam in ancient times involved not only long journeys and bad weather, but also inconvenient food and lodging, all of which needed to be considered.

Moreover, it's only May now, and we have to set off for the exam location, which will take several months just for the journey.

Some people with poorer conditions even had to walk there, which took even longer. "Mother, Father, I know this isn't a trip for leisure. Father is going to take an exam; it's a serious matter!"

"Father, how do you plan to get there? By carriage or on horseback?"

Lin Zeyang thought for a moment and said, "I plan to go by carriage. If we set off after the Dragon Boat Festival, it should take about two months to get there."

Cheng Ying exclaimed in surprise, "What! Father lives so far away! It takes two months to travel from here to where you are taking the exam. Father must be having a very hard time!"

"Father, I'll go and beg my master to prepare a better carriage for you. You can go after that!"

The family members present all asked in surprise, "Master, where did you get your master from?"

"It was during the two days I was sick a while ago that an old man with a white beard said that I had a connection with him, so he wanted to take me as his apprentice, and I agreed to it!"

Everyone was even more surprised. Third Brother Lin Yichen stepped forward and touched Cheng Ying's forehead, saying, "Little sister's forehead isn't hot, why are you talking nonsense?"

Yes, everyone couldn't help but wonder, since Lin Zeyang and Luo Wanyin had been by Tong'er's side for those two days.

No one noticed anyone coming, and they even took Tong'er as their apprentice. It must be that Tong'er was delirious from her illness those two days and took her dream as reality!

After all, they are still too young, and children often cannot distinguish between reality and dreams.
