"Heavy." The older sister stretched out her two little hands to Xiaoman's face: "Look, my hands are all red."
Xiaoman looked at it and it really was red: "This stone weighs the same as your stone."
The older sister shook her head: "It's different, it's different. Meimei isn't heavy. Meimei is very light."
Xiaoman looked at her sister's stone. Could it be that this stone is selective in its weight? Is it lighter in her sister's hands but heavier in other people's?
Xiaoman called Lao Shang over: "Uncle Shang, which of these two stones is heavier?"
"Okay." Old Shang picked up both stones and weighed them in his hands. "They're about the same weight. What's wrong?"
"My sister said hers is light."
Old Shang weighed it again: "It's the same."
Sister: "They're different. Meimei is light, it's heavy."
Xiaoman and Lao Shang exchanged a glance.
Old Shang stroked his beard and thought for a moment: "It feels so good to sit on it, and it's not heavy at all. Hmm, could it be?" Old Shang looked at his sister and then at Meimei: "Could it be that this stone is this girl's mount? No, mounts are supposed to carry their masters around, not the other way around."
Xiaoman looked up at the sky: "A cushion!" Damn you, heavens, did you throw a cushion down wherever your daughter sits? Damn you, heavens, you're smart enough to know better. If you dared to throw a mount down for your daughter, I'd kill it on the spot!
Old Shang laughed when he saw Xiaoman looking at the sky: "Haha, sister, come here, Grandpa Shang is asking you, how much does Meimei weigh?"
The older sister thought for a moment, picked up a stone about the size of her father's palm, weighed it in her hand, put it down, and then picked up a slightly smaller stone and weighed it again. After weighing it, she took it and walked to Old Shang's side: "Grandpa Shang, is Meimei this heavy?"
Old Shang looked at the small stone in his sister's hand: "No wonder you don't complain about being tired when you carry Meimei on your back every day." Xiaoman watches her sister practice her skills every day, so her sister can definitely carry such a small weight.
Old Shang patted his sister's head: "Meimei, you can only talk to me, your father, and your mother about such important matters. Remember that?"
"I've got it."
Xiaoman placed the rock she had found, which was about the same size as Meimei, into her sister's hand: "If anyone asks you how much Meimei weighs, just say this much, remember?"
The older sister weighed it in her hand: "I've got it."
Xiaoman emphasized again that this matter could only be discussed with her, Han Bin, and Lao Shang.
Speaking of Han Bin, the older sister remembered. "Mom, my dad had a big dog. That dog was really stupid. It couldn't understand when Dad talked to it."
"Dogs don't understand human speech." She was lucky to meet Xiao Hei.
"Oh. No wonder Daddy wanted to teach it to talk."
"Is your dad teaching it to talk?"
"Hmm. Mom, that dog is this tall." The older sister gestured with her hand to indicate the height.
"That's quite big. Mom will buy you a bag so you can put Meimei in it." Sitting on a rock is fine, but carrying a rock around is strange.
"No need. Meimei likes to sunbathe. If I put it up, it won't be able to get any sun."
Xiaoman looked at Meimei: "How do you know it likes to sunbathe?"
"That's what it told me."
"How did it tell you?"
"Hmm," the older sister thought for a moment, "I don't know."
"Alright. Go help Grandpa Guo cook."
"Okay." Her older sister carried her stone and left. Knowing that her sister's stone wasn't heavy, Xiaoman wasn't worried about tiring her sister out.
Looking at the stone on her sister's back, Xiaoman couldn't help but wonder: Is that really just a cushion?
Before, when she had her sister carry the stones, people would stare at them. If her sister weren't chubby and well-dressed, people would definitely think they were abusing her. After realizing that Meimei wasn't heavy on her sister, Xiaoman had her sister put Meimei in the car.
Although Meimei wasn't heavy on her older sister, she still had some weight to her. When Xiaoman told her to put Meimei in the car, the older sister immediately hugged Xiaoman's leg: "Mom, you're so good."
Xiaoman rubbed her sister's head: "You're good to your mother. If you're not good, your mother will beat you."
"I'm good, I'm very good."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Go ahead and put Meimei in the car."
"good."
After putting Meimei in the car, the older sister tiptoed and touched Xiao Hei's face: "Thank you for helping me pull Meimei."
Little Black lowered its head and rubbed against its sister's face. Meaning: You're welcome.
On the other side, Han Bin was a little frustrated. After his initial frustration subsided, he comforted himself. Compared to other dogs, Old Wolf was already very smart. Having consoled himself, Han Bin continued training Old Wolf. "Come on, jump, no, jump, right, like that. Come on, again."
Two weeks later, Old Wolf was able to understand some simple words.
The military region allocated Han Bin a large courtyard. The house was furnished. Han Bin added a few more beds. After tidying up the house, Han Bin had someone build a stable in the courtyard. After the stable was built, a doghouse was built next to it.
After tidying up his home, Han Bin also tidied up the land that the military district had given him.
To the left of Han Bin's house was the house of Commander Miao, and to the right was the house of Regiment Commander Bai.
Commander Miao's wife's surname is Du, and everyone calls her Sister Du. Sister Du used to be a soldier. After liberation, she was demobilized and now works for the Women's Federation.
Commander Bai's wife also has the surname Bai, and her given name is Na. She works as a doctor in the military region's hospital, and both her parents are soldiers. When Deputy Division Commander Qiao was about to retire, Bai Na told her parents that she wanted Commander Bai to succeed him. Her father also wanted his son-in-law to be promoted further, so he inquired around and was told that there were already arrangements made at the higher-ups.
When Bai Na found out, she asked her father if he could try to persuade him. Her father said no. There was already a brigade commander between the regimental commander and the deputy division commander, and this deputy division commander was someone sent from above, so...
Bai Na felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.
Han Bin was setting up a swing for his sister in the yard when Bai Na and her daughter passed by. Bai Na's daughter saw this and asked curiously, "Uncle, what are you doing?"
Han Bin looked up and saw Commander Bai's wife and daughter, and said with a smile, "Uncle is building a swing."
Bai Na's daughter is named Huihui. She is four years old. Huihui has never played on a swing before: "Uncle, what is a swing?"
"Hmm, a swing is..." Han Bin thought for a moment, "A swing is a toy. Come and play when Uncle has finished setting it up."
"good."
Bai Na had long wanted to find out about Han Bin's background. After Huihui struck up a conversation with Han Bin, Bai Na led her daughter in: "Deputy Division Commander, how many children do you have?"
Six.
"Your house must be very lively."
"Yes. And you? How many do you have?"
"Three. Two sons and one daughter. And you?"
"Five sons and one daughter."
"Is your partner coming soon?"
"Soon."
What does your spouse do for a living?
As Han Bin set up the swing, he said, "My wife doesn't have a job."
Bai Na was a little surprised: "Didn't the organization arrange a job for your husband?"
“My wife doesn’t like going to work.” As she spoke, the swing was set up. Han Bin clapped his hands: “Come on, Huihui, Uncle will carry you up.”
Huihui walked over to Han Bin and said, "Okay."
Han Bin put Huihui on the swing and then pushed her.
Huihui immediately laughed: "Haha, this is so much fun! Mom, I want some too!"
"Okay. I'll have your dad build one for you when he gets back."
"Okay. Haha, this is really fun."
Bai Na glanced at Han Bin, thinking, "This guy really spoils kids." "Deputy Division Commander, where are you from?"
After Han Bin told her, she asked Xiao Man where she was from. Knowing that both Xiao Man and Han Bin were from the countryside, she wanted to ask Han Bin: Were your parents and your wife's parents all veteran revolutionaries? But she was too embarrassed to ask.
When Han Bin was setting up the swing, Xiao Man and her group were stopped.
