Lin Qiushui herself didn't have much luggage, but her child had a lot of homework and textbooks.

With the help of Zhao Dong, Gao Wen, Gao Wu, and others, Lin Qiushui moved her home to Zhang Yang's guest room.

The room next door was empty; Zhang Yan explained that she deliberately separated herself from Zhao Dong and his group because their snoring was too loud.

A-Ting excitedly pulled Lin Qiushui along, wanting to show her his room.

Zhang Wen and Zhang Fei were not to be outdone and insisted on pestering Lin Qiushui.

They currently live together, but as they grow older, they will have their own little space.

After the group finished their commotion, it gradually got dark, and Zhang Daji, Zhang Guapi, Shen Yiming, and other militia members arrived.

The young people joked and played around, leading the children toward the commune.

Zhang Yan, holding Ya Ya, followed beside her.

Along the way, countless eyes turned to them.

The older generation envies their youthful vigor.

The young yearn to become like them when they grow up.

Lin Qiushui was led by the hand by Zhang Yang the whole way. She was still not used to the change in status, and her face was red the whole time.

When Zhang Yang arrived at the commune, he saw children everywhere, playing and jumping around. He then realized that the commune had hired an opera troupe to perform.

Zhao Dong quietly approached Zhang Yang and said, "Yangzi, I have something to do, I'll be right back."

Zhang Yang asked, "Where are you going?"

Zhao Dong snorted unhappily, "Now that you've won over Teacher Lin, I'm going to go after my little elephant too! Otherwise, all that medicinal wine I drank would have been for nothing!"

As soon as Zhao Dong left, A Ting sidled up to Zhang Yang and said slyly, "Brother Yang, when do you think I can have a sip of your medicinal wine?"

"Are you out of your mind?" Zhang Yang retorted, grabbing A Ting's chin with one hand. "Be careful, or you won't grow tall!"

"No way! I want to grow taller! I want to be taller than you, taller than Brother Dongzi!" A-Ting stood up excitedly.

Zhang Guapi shouted from the side, "Then you can walk on stilts!"

A group of people laughed.

Just then, Zhang Wumao exclaimed, "Here he comes! Look, Brother Dongzi is here!"

Everyone turned to look in the direction the five-cent note had pointed, and saw Zhao Dong walking alongside Rong Xiuxiang and several female nurses.

Zhang Wumao, who wasn't much older than A-Ting, suddenly said, "Wow, look at them, they're all so pretty! Our captain has a girlfriend, and Dongzi is working on it too. I'm telling you guys, why don't you go find a girl to pursue?"

Zhang Yan turned around while holding Ya Ya, and her eyes immediately fell on Huang Wan'er, who was standing next to Rong Xiuxiang.

Huang Wan'er was dressed very stylishly and beautifully today. Her features were already pretty, though not as bright and delicate as Qin Lianzhi's. But in the entire clinic, she was the most eye-catching.

Over the past six months, she has frequently visited Zhangjiatun, and her pursuit of Zhang Yang has been open and straightforward; everyone knows that she has feelings for him.

Later, Zhang Yang even had someone tell her that he wasn't there; he was on the mountain, in the fields, or at a road construction site—he was never home.

Today, Zhang Yang cannot be gone.

But Zhang Yang had a girlfriend next to him...

Zhang Yan withdrew her gaze, turned her head to look at Lin Qiushui beside her, and then remembered that not everyone knew that Huang Wan'er liked Zhang Yang.

Lin Qiushui was the one who didn't know.

For the past six months, Lin Qiushui has been busy teaching, going back and forth between home and school. Whenever she has time, she buries herself in lesson plans. She really wants to teach all the children in Zhangjiatun well.

Just then, Zhao Dong and his group of young and beautiful nurses arrived.

Huang Wan'er's voice rang out first, clear and strong: "Zhang Yang!"

The men around Zhang Yang all wore smiles of anticipation, as if watching a good show.

Zhang Yang frowned slightly, seemingly reluctant to turn around.

Lin Qiushui sat down next to him, glanced at Huang Wan'er, and then looked at Zhang Yang: "Zhang Yang, Nurse Huang is calling you."

Her seating arrangement and the way she spoke intimately surprised Huang Wan'er and the nurses next to her.

Zhang Yang stood up. He was tall and had long legs. As soon as he stood up, everyone could see that he was holding Lin Qiushui's hand.

Huang Wan'er stared in disbelief, then her eyes gradually reddened.

Rong Xiuxiang exclaimed in shock, "Captain Zhang, you and Lin Qiushui are together!"

Zhao Dong answered for Zhang Yang: "Yes!"

The young female nurses instinctively looked at Huang Wan'er.

Huang Wan'er's eyes reddened, and she turned and ran away.

The nurses, including Rong Xiuxiang, called her name and chased after her.

"Hey!" Zhao Dong saw his little elephant run away, told Zhang Yang and the others, and quickly went after it.

Lin Qiushui watched Huang Wan'er leave, then turned to look back at Zhang Yang, and seemed to notice something.

Zhang Yang didn't say anything. He and Huang Wan'er had nothing going on. He looked at Lin Qiushui and simply held her hand firmly.

Lin Qiushui smiled faintly and sat back down.

Zhang Fei asked Zhang Yan in a childish voice, "Big sister, what happened?"

Zhang Yan, holding Ya Ya, shook her leg and said, "It's nothing, let's watch the show!"

After a pause, Zhang Yan added, "It's watching the show on the stage!"

On the stage, a play about loyalty to one's country is being performed.

Zhang Yan listened to the resounding drumbeats, a smile spreading across her face.

She was forced to marry Wang Jie from Wulipu back then, but fortunately her younger brother is strong enough that he will protect her in the future. Zhang Wen and Zhang Fei will definitely not follow in her footsteps.

Of course, there's also Ya Ya, whom she cherishes most in her arms. Ya Ya will surely have a bright future and be able to freely choose the lover she wants to spend her life with.

The singers on stage sang with bold and unrestrained voices; after one performance ended, another began with a gentle and melodious tune.

After the banquet began, everyone happily flocked away.

Zhao Dong also arrived, looking dejected and full of frustration.

Gao Wen and Gao Wu were the first to speak: "Failed again?"

Zhao Dong said, "There's no way!"

Zhang Yan laughed and said, "You can't force matters of the heart. If there's really no chance, then so be it!"

Everyone laughed.

Ah Ting leaned over and patted Zhao Dong's chest: "Brother Dong! If you ask me, there are women everywhere in this world! You're only in Zhangjiatun right now, but once you get out there, you'll find that there are just too many beautiful women in this world!"

Zhang Yang slapped A Ting on the forehead: "Go away, you little brat, you're teaching people here."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Zhao Dong's expression turned thoughtful as he thought of the movie he had seen in town with Zhang Simao and Zhang Wumao not long ago.

The blonde woman in there was truly beautiful and radiant.

"Yangzi," Zhao Dong lowered his voice, "you said before that you wanted to go to Hong Kong, are you still going?"

Because Lin Qiushui was sitting on the other side of Zhang Yang, she could hear Zhao Dong even though he was speaking softly.

Hearing this, Lin Qiushui was somewhat surprised and looked at them.

Zhang Yang said without hesitation, "Go."

“I’m going too!” Zhao Dong said.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Okay!"

Ah Ting chimed in again, "Where are we going? I'm going too!"

Zhao Dong pushed him back down: "You'll be as tall as my shoulder before we talk about where we're going!"

Everyone burst into laughter again.
