Chapter 805: I Respect the Old and Cherish the Young
"Continue! Can't do it anymore? Don't be like that, your son and your mother are watching."
"For those advanced in age, I do not raise a hand; I respect the elderly."
"For those of tender age, I do not strike; I cherish the young."
"As for you, someone neither old nor young, who can't manage his mother above and can't manage his child below, do you really think I'm going to indulge you?"
Seeing Battalion Commander Li standing still, An Yinan walked straight up, dragged him down, grabbed him by the collar, and gave him a sound beating.
The onlookers, seeing the reversal, covered their eyes one by one; some even silently vowed to themselves that they must manage their parents and children well when they got home.
If your mouth is offensive, you deserve a beating; if your mouth is vile, you deserve a fatal beating.
They certainly didn't want to end up like that.
"Let go of my son! Someone is hitting people! Someone is killing people! Is there anyone here to take charge?" Li Laotaitai began to cry, but the onlookers just watched the spectacle, and some even publicized the cause and effect of the matter.
Those who had previously thought An Yinan was going too far now kept their mouths shut.
If you don't beat someone like that, who knows whose child they might talk about next?
Until...
Battalion Commander Li stopped even resisting, looking utterly hopeless. An Yinan finally stepped back, looked at Battalion Commander Li, and sneered, "Is this it? What capital do you have to speak ill of other people's families?"
She turned her head, took the clothes Chen Xun handed over, and put them on directly.
Some of the elders nodded in affirmation toward An Yinan.
Not bad, this girl from the Yun Family is not bad; she has backbone and an unyielding spirit.
They looked back at Battalion Commander Li, who was still sprawled on the ground. The elders shook their heads; they didn't fear prickly soldiers—the pricklier the soldier, the better the soldier—but they feared cowardly soldiers, the kind of spineless wretches who couldn't be propped up even with mud.
"Grandfather said to let you rest for a few more days; you've been exhausted these days." Chen Xun held onto the two children, not letting them crowd around his wife.
"You two, settle down for a moment. I'm going home to change my clothes, then I'll hold you." An Yinan looked at the longing expressions on the two children and said helplessly.
Xiaobao pouted, looking unwilling.
Dabao was obedient; he immediately calmed down and hugged Chen Xun's neck.
"Did you win?" Chen Xun looked at his two children, especially at Dabao.
Dabao wasn't proud, just nodded, but he couldn't help having a troublesome sister like Xiaobao.
"Yeah, we won! Big brother was so amazing. He went up and sat right on top of that Li Xiaopang, then started punching. Li Xiaopang's face is all swollen!"
Xiaobao spoke with gusto. Dabao saw his father's gaze and quietly tugged at Xiaobao, but since his younger sister was in the middle of her excitement, he couldn't stop her.
"Very amazing?" Chen Xun looked at them, his expression somewhat serious.
An Yinan raised an eyebrow but didn't speak.
"There is a saying: act according to your ability."
"He is so much older than you, why did you make a move? What if you had lost?"
Chen Xun looked at Dabao and asked directly.
Dabao looked at Xiaobao. Xiaobao, who had been smug just a moment ago, was now cowering, looking like a little quail.
Sigh! What could he do?
"We play together often, so I understand his stamina. Besides, he's too fat and lacks agility; I had the ability to beat him."
Dabao said truthfully. As children in the same Dayuan, they often played together and knew what to expect. If he couldn't win, he would use other methods. Uncle and Uncle Yun Qi had both said that sometimes using your brain is more ruthless than using your hands.
Using your hands is for a moment, but using your brain can last a lifetime.
He knew how to use his brain too, but his sister didn't give him the chance...
An Yinan smiled. Looking at Dabao's expression, what else was there not to understand?
If there was trouble, it was definitely Xiaobao causing it, with her big brother cleaning up the mess.
"Did you make a move?" When An Yinan returned home, Yun Fei had already returned. Seeing the family of four enter the room, he shook his head helplessly; none of them had a patient temperament.
"Mm, they were too fragile to hit; a bit disappointing." An Yinan shrugged her shoulders. Since coming out of the Gun King Special Training, she hadn't made a move yet and felt like she was getting rusty.
Yun Fei looked at her expression and said helplessly, "What's this? Are you blaming them for being too fragile?"
An Yinan nodded, "Fragile or not, that's not the point, but the military needs to improve the quality of the entire force. If things like this can happen in the Dayuan, what about elsewhere?"
This won't do; ideological and political classes really need to be taught!
"I will propose it at the meeting." Yun Fei nodded.
The quality of the military must be improved; otherwise, how can they lead the people and protect the personal and property safety of the masses?
As for the Military District Compound, they had been granted their own courtyard. One reason was An Yinan's merit; although she wasn't a soldier, that was only in name. Her achievements and the missions she had completed were not something an ordinary person could compare to.
Another reason was that Chen Xun's military rank was sufficient for him to live in the Military District Compound.
The children returned to their new home, looking at the familiar layout and the unified design.
"Mom, I want to live here." Xiaobao pointed to a room; in the Yun Family, this room was the children's room.
An Yinan nodded, "Alright. In a while, tell me what you need."
"Dabao, which room are you living in?"
Dabao looked around and chose one next to Xiaobao's, "I'm here."
"Good, tell me directly what you need."
Although the house had been granted, the rooms were empty, and everything inside needed to be purchased. She called Qian Zhao over directly, told him her requirements, and left the rest to him.
"An Yinan, Nan, did you forget something when you returned to Beijing?" Guo Tiexiong gritted his teeth. It had been several days, and there hadn't even been a message. If he hadn't heard the report from Xiao Guo, he wouldn't even have known she was back in Beijing.
An Yinan rubbed her nose, "I was going to go tomorrow anyway."
She had planned to go tomorrow, but she intended to visit the elderly couple first, then check if Lao Weiya was getting used to living there. Given the status of Lao Weiya and the others, they couldn't stay in the Military District Compound, so they had been settled in a courtyard near the Kyoto Academy.
"An Yinan, Huaxia is just too fun." Aila held a roasted corn cob in one hand and lamb skewers in the other, feeling absolutely wonderful.
Huaxia was actually such a place; he was almost reluctant to return to the Base.
Lao Weiya kept a gourd in his hand, drinking tea and admiring the flowers; anyone who didn't know better would think he was a refined scholar.
"Have they been in this state for the past few days?" An Yinan pointed at those two people.
Siweike nodded, "It seems they have found the true meaning of life."
An Yinan was somewhat worried, "How about we just shut down the training Base? The instructors have turned over a new leaf."
"What, shut it down? That won't do!" Lao Weiya stood up immediately, and the infatuated expression he had just a moment ago was gone.
The Gun King Training Base was something he had always insisted on; how could it just be shut down like that?
