Chapter 415 Bai Xiaonuo, the most lively kid in the family compound
Reading Settings
These past two days, Zhu Kaixuan has been busy following up on the new assault rifle. Only when he is certain that the new assault rifle has no problems can his daughter's merit and reward be implemented.
Bai Nuo also obediently rested at home for two days, and handed over all the team's training to Fang Meng. Ever since Lao Pang witnessed the power of the assault rifle that Bai Nuo independently developed, he really wanted to worship this precious child.
What's wrong with taking two days off? As long as this precious little darling asks, he can give Fang Meng two days off to go back and serve the little darling. He can even have Fang Meng feed him himself.
Bai Nuo has actually had a pretty interesting time these past two days. She doesn't have to train, and she wakes up naturally every day. When she wakes up, there's breakfast that Fang Meng prepared before leaving. This kind of peaceful life makes her feel like she's back in the Seventh Water Brigade.
Not only that, she also found the fun she had back in Qishui Brigade in the family compound. Every day after breakfast, she would go out for a stroll, and if she encountered any aunties or grandmas gossiping together, she would go over to listen and occasionally let out a gasp.
The first time, it startled the older women, but when they turned around, they saw the little girl of the supposedly bad-tempered leader squatting on the ground. She was tiny, with her cute, fair face upturned, her bright, fox-like eyes looking at them with curiosity. When they stopped talking, she couldn't help but urge them to continue.
"And then, auntie, that widowed daughter-in-law really did kick her mother-in-law out with her father-in-law."
The old woman being asked nodded blankly and gave a dry reply: "Mm!"
"Wow, this is even more exciting than the one in the next brigade!"
Bai Nuo's words immediately perked up the somewhat nervous older women, while also leaving them puzzled.
"Girl, what do you mean, the brigade next door? Aren't you from Beijing?"
Commander Zhu comes from the Zhu family in Beijing. The whole family are capable people, especially Old Master Zhu, who was the former commander of the General Military Region Headquarters. He followed the top leader when he was young and fought alongside him all the way up. Everyone knows that. How could his granddaughter be a country bumpkin?
However, Bai Nuo did not feel at all that country people were inferior to city people. Most of the people in their Qishui Brigade were particularly lovely.
The little girl smiled and explained generously, "Auntie, I was a sent-down youth before. I went to a production team in Liaoning Province. The people in our production team were all very nice. When I had nothing to do, I often chatted with the aunties and grandmas in the village. However, our brigade was strictly managed, and such things were not allowed to happen. But it did happen in several other brigades nearby, and they were all quite interesting."
There were two military dependents from the countryside. When the young girl mentioned people from the countryside, there was no disdain on her face. On the contrary, she was very friendly. It was clear that she really liked the people she met after going to the countryside. It was obvious that they had a good relationship.
This surprised the military dependents. They had been married to their husbands for decades and had moved twice after their husbands were transferred to military posts. In one of the family compounds, there was a clear hierarchy among the military dependents. Those from the city only hung out with other city people, while those from the countryside hung out with people from the countryside.
Most urban families look down on women from the countryside, thinking they are unhygienic, uneducated, crude, loud, and unpleasant to listen to.
Especially the daughters of some leaders, when they see these military dependents from the countryside, their eyes seem to look up to the heavens.
The other family compound they moved to was a bit better. Although this situation also existed, it wasn't obvious. Some city wives could get along with good-natured and clean country wives. However, the daughters of the military leaders still looked down on these country wives, which they considered normal.
After arriving at the Kyoto Military Region with the man, they were no longer emotionally affected when they saw the daughters of those leaders treating them with disdain.
Only the daughters of the chief of staff and the political commissar would nod and greet them when they saw them, and the daughters' friendly attitude made the girls feel a little nervous.
I thought this was already pretty good, but I never expected... the army commander's daughter could chat with them so well and even seemed happy.
This... this is what the men in the family mean by "vision," which is why the higher the official rank, the better they educate the younger generation in their families, because they have a broad vision, a high level of understanding, and high moral character.
Bai Nuo had no idea that these older women would suddenly turn to issues of character and manners just because she came to watch the commotion.
If she had known, she would have told them that this had nothing to do with her father, that it was simply the upbringing of a noble family, whose rules clearly stated that no member of the family should bully innocent women and children, abuse their power, or look down on ordinary people.
If she dared to say anything like "country folks are all inferior," her grandmother would immediately bring out the family rules and break her legs herself, without anyone else even lifting a finger.
As for the position of heir!
hehe!
Her grandmother donated it all and wouldn't leave anything for her!
This reflects family upbringing and the refinement of a scion of a prominent family!
Because of Bai Nuo's performance, the aunts and uncles who were initially a little afraid of her immediately relaxed. The more they looked at the girl, the more they liked her. Especially when she was down-to-earth, had a sweet smile, and was even more charming, chatting with everyone about gossip, some of the aunts and uncles wished they could hug the little girl and cherish her.
The army commander's daughter is nothing like what the Wu family said—bad-tempered and spoiled. She's clearly a cheerful and sweet-talking girl.
No wonder all of Lao Wu's family members were taken away and none of them have been released yet. They are truly wicked; they even dared to scold such a cute little girl.
In this way, Bai Nuo happily integrated into the group of aunties and grandmas in the family compound. Every day after meals, she would run out to play with the aunties and grandmas. These military wives from all over the country had more and more melons in their hands, and Bai Nuo would write them down and then write them into letters to the young men to share her fun with them.
Busy old man hadn't come home yet, Fang Meng had taken on a temporary mission, Hua Hua and Fu Gui had been borrowed by Lao Pang to train soldiers, and Bai Nuo disliked staying at home even more.
These past few days, she's basically never home except for mealtimes. She especially enjoys chatting with the older women and aunties in the residential compound. She also plays with the little ones of those older women and aunties she's close to, and has quickly become the most lively kid in the compound.
Bai Nuo originally thought she could enjoy herself so easily until the New Year, but three days later, in the early morning, she was called away by a phone call in the middle of the night.
