In 1972, the enrollment period for worker-peasant-soldier students at Peking University was in September. Logically, the enrollment period had long passed. The Yu family had to go to great lengths to get Cai Bainuo a place in the class through a transfer program.

When Bai Nuo and her three friends returned to Beijing, it was already early November. School had been in session for more than two months, so she needed to finish up her work as soon as possible and get to school.

The thought of going to school gave Bai Nuo an urge to run away. She would rather fight for her country on the border than be a lost soul in the classroom.

"Miss, everything is packed. Are you sure you don't need us to come with you? Who will cook for you then?" Wei Wen carried a box of things into Bai Nuo's courtyard. As soon as he entered, he saw his young mistress packing clothes. After packing for a long time, she only took out a few pieces of clothing to wear.

As for the two big guys lying at his young lady's feet, Wei Wen was already used to it, especially after the two big guys let out a "meow" and a "woof" respectively, the people responsible for guarding the Wei family's old house were really numb.

There are only three people responsible for guarding the old Wei family mansion. They are all orphans who were rescued by the Wei family. They grew up with Miss Wei (Bai Nuo's maternal grandmother) since childhood. They learned business and how to conduct themselves from Miss Wei and were educated and trained as her right-hand women.

After foreign enemies invaded, the three of them went to the battlefield with the young lady.

The three of them had followed Miss Wei through thick and thin for over a decade. They were originally homeless orphans and beggars, whose lives were saved by Miss Wei, and whose surnames were given to them by Old Master Wei. The Wei family was their home, and for so many years they had lived here as the nephews and nieces of Old Madam Wei. Old Madam Wei had once arranged for the three of them to go to Hong Kong, but none of them left. They just stayed and guarded the Wei family.

None of the three men were married. The children of Old Madam Wei were their own brother and sister. After sending Xiao Bai Nuo to Shanghai, Old Madam Wei was afraid that the three men would act impulsively and ruin things, so she kept them from going to Shanghai secretly. Otherwise, the three of them probably would have secretly kidnapped the Ma family and taken them to the mountains, and then killed them alive.

It should be noted that these three men, who may appear to be honest and kind, or gentle and refined, are actually ruthless and cruel, and they protect the Wei family's direct descendants as if they were their own lifeblood.

When Wei Wen, Wei Wu, and Wei Hui heard that the young lady had finally returned, only to have to go back to school alone, they almost burst into tears.

Wei Wen and the others learned a lot of skills from their master's family since they were young. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Old Madam Wei sent the three of them to take the college entrance examination. Now they all have good jobs and usually do not live in the old house. They were only informed after Bai Nuo came back. If Bai Nuo had not stopped them, the three of them would have quit their jobs and come back to take care of Bai Nuo.

"Uncle Wen, don't worry. There are canteens and dormitories at the school. The Public Security Bureau has also arranged a single room for me. The Public Security Bureau is just across the street, and there is a canteen there too. I won't go hungry. You, Uncle Wu, and Uncle Hui can just focus on your work. I'll call your office if I need anything."

"Why don't you bring your sixth aunt with you? She can help you with the laundry and cleaning. You have to go to school and work, so you don't have time to tidy up the house." Wei Wu, who looked honest and kind and was tall and strong, walked in, wearing a coarse cloth apron that seemed out of place with his appearance.

Sixth Aunt was rescued from a Japanese devil's den by Bai Nuo's maternal grandmother during the War of Resistance Against Japan. She was an ordinary country girl whose entire family was killed by the Japanese devils, including her newborn son. She was beautiful when she was young and did not resist when she was taken away by the Japanese devils.

Later, my grandmother told me that when she and her team arrived, they pushed open the door and saw a woman covered in blood, holding a knife in one hand and a gun in the other. The room was filled with the corpses of Japanese soldiers.

She avenged her family with her own hands, but unfortunately, she could no longer speak after that. She stayed by her grandmother's side and never left, and... never spoke again.

When she was little, the elders in her family were all busy, so she, her older brother, Fang Meng, and Fang Meng were all taken care of by her sixth aunt, as well as Xiao An Yun, who would be sent over by the An family from time to time.

Bai Nuo glanced at the petite figure busy in the inner room and really wished she could move the whole house away with her.

He smiled and shook his head: "Sixth Aunt is getting old, so let's not let her go through all this trouble with me. She's more comfortable at home, and she can help you with tidying up sometimes."

"Da da da!"

A light tapping sound suddenly rang out, causing Bai Nuo, Wei Wen, and Wei Wu to immediately turn their heads to look. The family members were very familiar with this sound. Every time it rang out, no matter what they were doing, they would immediately stop what they were doing and turn their heads to look. This was a habit and an unspoken understanding in the family.

Aunt Liu is unable to speak, so whenever she wants to express herself, she will strike a small drum hanging from her waist. It was made by Bai Yili (her maternal uncle) and Bai Yiman (her mother) when they were young. It was a birthday gift from them to Aunt Liu, and it has been hanging on her waist for decades.

Bai Nuo remembered that when she and her older brother were little, the little drum broke once. Her older brother found that her sixth aunt was holding the little drum and crying secretly. Then, after everyone was asleep at night, Bai Yukai and Fang Zhou, two young boys, secretly stole the drum and let their younger sister, who was the most capable with her hands, repair it. The repair materials were stolen by Fang Meng from Mr. Bai's workshop.

In the end, the four children worked together to repair the drum. Aunt Liu was very happy holding the drum and didn't see the four children being taken away and beaten.
