Protagonist:

Lin Xiyu

"Swimming isn't allowed anymore. Someone will be coming shortly, so you need to set a good example."

Zhang Director entrusted her with an important task: "Take your younger brother and leave first, so everyone can see the Street Office's determination to carry out orders."

"Got it."

Lin Xiyu nodded reluctantly, looking somewhat unwilling.

Zhang Director was using her as a pawn!

But since Zhang Director was right, she had no choice but to listen.

—

"Ah, we can't swim anymore?"

After hearing her assurance, Zhang Director left satisfied, while Lin Xiyu returned to the poolside listlessly. Her female cousin and Wu Meng turned pale at the words "swimming ban."

"Not being allowed to swim is even harder to accept than not being allowed to relocate."

Wu Meng looked devastated, her eyes red, nearly in tears.

"Why?"

Her female cousin found it hard to accept: "How many years have we been swimming here? We've never dirtied the spring water, hasn't the Wangfu Pool always been this clean?"

"Maybe they think people swimming here would be an eyesore for tourists."

Lin Xiyu analyzed from the perspective of municipal leaders: "After all, not everyone swimming here is a child; there are also shirtless old men, some not even wearing pants, just a pair of big underpants, which really isn't a sight to behold."

"This is going to cause another commotion."

Her female cousin sighed and retorted: "Railings can stop children, but not adults. If those old men want to swim, they'll swim in the middle of the night. Can the Street Office staff be on duty 24 hours a day without stopping? Someone will definitely find a loophole."

"We can't control others; let's just manage ourselves first."

Lin Xiyu rubbed her brow with a headache: "Xiao Yi just learned to swim and is at his most energetic. Trying to pull him out of the pool won't be easy."

—

"There's an order from above: starting today, all spring pools, including Black Tiger Spring, Baishi Spring, Wangfu Pool, and the Moat, are forbidden for swimming."

Just as she was worrying, the sound of a loudspeaker suddenly came from outside the railing.

Zhang Director returned, accompanied by several Street Office staff members, holding a loudspeaker and shouting at the pool: "Everyone leave immediately. Violators will be fined 20 yuan."

"Ah, why can't we swim anymore?"

"On what grounds?"

"Not letting us swim in this scorching heat—isn't that driving people crazy?"

"You're meddling even with my swimming. Are you being too intrusive?"

"Fine? Fine your damn self, are you broke? Fining people for swimming—you can't just squeeze us common folk to generate revenue!"

As expected, once the ban was issued, the poolside erupted in commotion.

An impulsive young man jumped over the railing, snatched the loudspeaker from a staff member's hand, and smashed it on the ground.

The scene grew even noisier, with both sides shoving each other, accusing and cursing.

Zhang Director was caught off guard and unfortunately was pushed down again, spraining her ankle.

The wound on her forehead had barely healed, and now her foot was twisted—truly miserable.

Lin Xiyu's eyelids twitched, and she hurried over to help her up.

"Xiyu, now it's all up to you."

Zhang Director urged anxiously: "Hurry and take your younger brother away, set an example for everyone."

"Alright."

Lin Xiyu looked at the chaotic scene, feeling as if she were being roasted over a fire.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up."

Zhang Director kept urging her.

"Sigh."

Helpless, Lin Xiyu could only sigh in resignation.

—

"No, I don't want to leave."

In the pool, a group of children stared with innocent, wide eyes at the adults' argument.

Seeing his sister arrive, Xu Yi resisted and hid toward the center of the pool.

The other children had the same idea, afraid of being caught by their own adults, and they clustered together in the middle of the water.

"Xiao Yi, be a good boy, come up quickly."

Lin Xiyu tentatively tried to communicate with him.

"No, they haven't left, so why am I the only one who has to go?"

Xu Yi not only refused to listen, but splashed around harder, swimming even farther away.

"This child, what stubbornness has gotten into him?"

Lin Xiyu was in a bind and no longer cared whether she was wearing a skirt; she dove into the water and hauled him back.

"Aaaah, I don't want to leave..."

Xu Yi let out pig-slaughtering screams in the water, kicking his short legs in protest, but he was no match for his sister's strength and was forcibly dragged back to the shore.

"What kind of ghostly noise is that?"

The female cousin pulled him out of the water and slapped his butt.

"Wuu wuu wuu......."

Xu Yi covered his butt and protested, about to howl a few more times, but Lin Xiyu's one sentence hit his deadlock.

"If you keep making a scene, I won't take you to see the plane tomorrow."

Xu Yi was like someone who had stepped on a chicken's neck, let out a cry, and fell silent.

The commotion between the brother and sister alarmed everyone, and pairs of doubtful gazes swept over like searchlights.

"Let's go, go home."

Lin Xiyu climbed ashore dripping wet, wiped the water from her face, pulled Xu Yi, and turned to leave.

There was a moment of silence by the spring pool.

The masses confronting the staff, as if betrayed, all showed expressions of disbelief.

"None of you make a scene anymore, making a scene is useless, whoever's child, take them away quickly, those violating regulations will all be fined 20 yuan."

The staff of the Street Office took the opportunity to shout through the loudspeaker, gradually gaining the upper hand in momentum.

"Liu Quan, was it you who pushed me just now?"

Zhang Director pointed at a youth leading the trouble, furious: "If you dare make a scene again, I'll go to your house to find your old man and make your old man pay my medical fees."

"Tch, it's just a twist, is it a big deal?"

Liu Quan muttered indignantly a few times and ran away.

"Little bastard, you run pretty fast."

Zhang Director limped and chased a few steps, couldn't catch up, and gave up the plan to beat him up brutally.

The one leading the trouble ran away, and the rest lost their momentum.

Some feared being fined and called their children, telling them to go home quickly.

The children didn't understand and didn't know what a 20 yuan fine meant, making a scene and refusing to leave.

The adults cared about money and jumped into the water one after another to catch their own little brats.

There was another round of ghostly cries and wolf howls in the spring pool, and after a long commotion, it finally quieted down.

—

As Wu Meng expected, the ban was not enforced smoothly; some people outwardly complied but secretly defied, engaging in guerrilla warfare with the staff on duty.

If they weren't allowed to swim during the day, they swam at night; as soon as the duty staff left, the spring pool was like boiling water, with swimmers appearing from all directions and jumping in to splash around.

The "No Swimming" signs hanging on the fence also suffered; hung up during the day, they would be taken down at night and smashed to pieces.

The office had to speed up the construction of the railing; almost overnight, a railing over a meter high was built on both sides of the spring pool.

Even so, they couldn't stop the revenge swimming; the agile young and middle-aged people developed another special move.

Various fancy dives, with eye-catching poses emerging endlessly.

—

The noise at Wangfu Pool had nothing to do with Lin Xiyu.

That afternoon after returning home, she called Director Du and truthfully conveyed Zhang Director's request.

Director Du, considering the railing was not yet built, temporarily delayed the filming.

Lin Xiyu received an accurate reply and stopped worrying about it, taking her younger brother to the public bathhouse for a hot bath and changing into a set of clean, fresh clothes.

Xu Yi wanted to follow his sister to the military camp early the next morning, so he stayed at his maternal grandmother's house that evening.

The little fairy was very excited, tossing and turning on the bamboo mat, unable to sleep.

The female cousin also had worries; as expected, her maternal grandmother felt guilty toward her maternal aunt and agreed to her request.

A strange child was about to come to the family, and no one knew what would happen in the future.

The female cousin felt blocked in her heart, her emotions somewhat irritable, and the little fairy who couldn't sleep made a scene giving her a headache, so she gave him another slap in a bad mood.

Xu Yi was beaten and finally learned his lesson, no longer humming and complaining, hugging his pillow and pretending to sleep.

The child was energetic, looked full of energy, and fell asleep quickly once he said sleep.

He was very sleepy, his little head tilted, and unconsciously fell asleep.

Lin Xiyu pulled his arm out from under the pillow, straightened his body, and covered him with the towel quilt.

The little fairy lay spread out, hummed comfortably, and started snoring.

Lin Xiyu found it funny, pamperingly rubbed his little head, then lay down beside him and closed her eyes.

—

Early the next morning, Xu Yi, thinking about seeing the plane, opened his eyes before dawn.

The little fairy was very excited, crawled up, jumped around in the room, made a scene so the whole family couldn't sleep, and everyone got up early.

Lin Xiyu had something on her mind, took out all the clothes she thought looked good, and screened them one by one.

"Sister, you look good in anything, stop changing, let's hurry up and go."

The clock gradually pointed to 8 o'clock; Xu Yi couldn't wait and started howling with his small voice again.

"What good day is today? Dressed up so grandly?"

The maternal grandmother saw through it and smiled happily in her heart.

"Guben's grandfather lives in the Military District Compound."

Lin Xiyu's pretty face blushed: "He said he wants to take me to see his grandparents today."

"This is an ugly daughter-in-law going to see her parents-in-law."

The maternal grandmother deliberately teased her: "You should dress up nicely."

"Grandma, why do you say that too?"

Lin Xiyu puffed her cheeks unhappily: "Is my granddaughter ugly? Where exactly is she ugly enough to be an ugly daughter-in-law?"

"Good, good, good, not ugly, not ugly."

Grandma covered her mouth and laughed: "Our Xiyu is the most beautiful; whoever marries her is blessed. Grandma just worries she's too beautiful and will be watched, with someone coming to snatch her as a bride."

"Hehe."

Xu Yi found it funny, grinning with his little mouth, stupidly happy.

"Xiao Yi, watch your Sister."

Grandma continued teasing: "There are many people in the Military District Compound; don't let someone snatch her away."

"Grandma, what are you saying again?"

Lin Xiyu was both shy and annoyed: "We're going to the Family Compound, not a bandit's den."

"You haven't seen that scene."

The wife fanned herself, laughing so hard she couldn't close her mouth: "Once you go, you'll know. A bunch of New Recruits staying in the unit for a long time, rarely seeing a woman, it's like looking at monkeys in the Animal Zoo, so novel."

"Hahaha."

Xu Yi was amused by Grandma, holding his little stomach, laughing bent forward and backward.

"Laugh again, I won't take you."

Lin Xiyu couldn't stand him laughing so recklessly, and poked his Forehead in a bad mood.

Xu Yi was pinched at his Deadlock by Sister again, covering his Mouth with his hand.

"Hehe."

Grandma watched the close interaction of the Sister and Younger Brother, with smiles at the corners of her eyes and Eyebrows.

—

The Jinan Air Force 12th Division is located at Zhangzhuang Airport in the West Suburbs. Setting off from Daming Lake, it takes about an hour by bicycle.

Lin Xiyu, finding cycling inconvenient, thought it over and still gave up the idea of wearing a Skirt. At the very last moment before going out, she changed into the set of Clothes she wore when climbing Taishan.

At exactly 8 AM, when the Sister and Younger Brother arrived at Daming Lake South Gate, Guben and the others had already arrived.

Wang Fan was also there, and for once he didn't ride his flashy Motorcycle, switching to a relatively low-key dark green variable-frequency Mountain Bike.

Li Liang still had his 28-inch bicycle, Wu Meng rode her own bicycle, and like Lin Xiyu, she didn't wear a Skirt, wearing a T-shirt and Shorts, looking especially youthful and beautiful.

"Xiao Yi, come here, Brother will take you."

Wang Fan saw Xu Yi and used the same old trick, taking advantage of currying favor with the Younger Brother to show off in front of Sister.

"Yay."

Xu Yi's eyes lit up at the sight of the Mountain Bike. He nimbly jumped off Sister's Women's Bicycle and ran over patteringly.

"Let's go."

Guben didn't mind his little scheme, kicked off with his Foot, and took the lead in front to lead the way.

"Oh oh, going to see Planes."

Wang Fan followed behind. Xu Yi was very Excited, howling with his little voice.

"This guy, since last night, has been like he took an Excited Agent..."

Lin Xiyu helplessly held her Forehead: "The three words 'Plane Viewing' hanging on his Mouth, he keeps muttering endlessly."

"Don't talk about him..."

Wu Meng laughed awkwardly: "I haven't seen a Plane either. Last night I was almost too Excited to sleep."

"Hurry up and follow them."

Li Liang saw the two ahead had ridden far, and hurriedly urged: "It takes over an hour on the Road; there's plenty of time for you two to chat."

"You go your way, what's it to us?"

Wu Meng was chatting happily and was interrupted, very unhappy. She waved her Hand impatiently: "We know the Road; we can get there ourselves."

"Your attitude is a bit arrogant."

Lin Xiyu got on her bicycle, laughing and teasing her: "I've never seen you treat someone like this before. You're relying on someone liking you, sticking your nose on their face."

"How am I arrogant?"

Wu Meng instantly understood who she meant by 'someone.' Her Cheeks turned red: "Obviously he manages too much. I can't even say a word to you."

"Go ahead and Show Off."

Lin Xiyu pedaled hard a few times, starting to Accelerate: "Someone treats you well and you're still not satisfied? One day if you drive him away and he doesn't want to manage you anymore, you'll cry again."

"Hey hey, wait for me."

Wu Meng isn't good at Exercise. Her cycling speed couldn't keep up, and behind her she was in a Hurry, grunting.

Li Liang remained Silent, staying by her side.

The two gradually fell behind the main group, opening a large Distance.

—

"Wu Meng is really Lucky to be engaged to Li Liang."

Lin Xiyu rode faster and faster, catching up with Guben and Wang Fan: "Li Liang has a good Temper, a Gentle nature, and can Tolerate her Little Temper. Qu Peng wasn't like that before, always Disliking her. When they were together, I felt Tired just watching."
