49: They're going to bomb the movie theater.
It was the familiar routine. After running for half an hour, they returned to the dormitory, quickly washed up, and tidied their internal affairs.
After Hu Ping clumsily folded her quilt, she saw Squad Leader Li looking at Xiao Niannian's spot. She also looked over and was astonished to see Xiao Niannian's quilt folded perfectly.
"Xiao Niannian, you didn't use something to fold your quilt, did you?" Yang Fang started to suspect again.
Xiao Niannian ignored Yang Fang. She took her enamel mug to wash her face and brush her teeth. Looking at her young self in the mirror, Xiao Niannian smiled.
When Xiao Niannian returned to the room, she heard an argument.
"Yang Fang, you're going too far! How could you ruin Niannian's perfectly folded quilt?" It was Zheng Wu's voice.
Xiao Niannian looked at her bed. Her already folded quilt had been tossed into a mess.
Xiao Niannian looked at Yang Fang and said in an icy tone.
"Apologize."
Yang Fang was startled by Xiao Niannian's gaze. Xiao Niannian's eyes were extremely cold and very oppressive.
She was too scared to speak.
Hu Ping, however, spoke up.
"Xiao Niannian, Xiaofang didn't do it on purpose. We thought you cheated to fold your quilt so well, so she opened it to check..."
"Exactly, she didn't mean to. Can't you just refold the quilt?" He Juan also jumped in.
"You say it so easily. If folding a quilt is so simple, why don't you refold it?"
"You clearly did something wrong, so why are you talking like this?"
Seeing that Yang Fang wouldn't apologize, Xiao Niannian walked directly to Yang Fang and threw Yang Fang's quilt onto the floor.
"Xiao Niannian, how dare you throw my quilt! You're going too far!" Yang Fang trembled with anger. She hadn't expected Xiao Niannian to actually throw her quilt.
She quickly picked up the quilt, patted it, and put it back on the bed.
"If you can throw my quilt, why can't I throw yours?"
Xiao Niannian's words made Hu Ping and the others even angrier.
"Xiaofang just opened your quilt to look; she didn't throw it. How could you throw her quilt on the floor? It's so hard to fold."
Xiao Niannian's gaze swept over their faces, her tone laced with warning.
"From now on, whoever touches my quilt, I'll deal with them twice as harshly."
"Don't be so arrogant!" Hu Ping glared at Xiao Niannian angrily.
"Try me if you don't believe it."
Xiao Niannian's provocative words made Hu Ping and the others even angrier. Yang Fang, seeing Xiao Niannian's demeanor, rushed forward.
"What are you doing? It's almost breakfast time. What's all this commotion about?"
Li Le happened to walk in, saw the scene, and quickly intervened.
Seeing Li Le, Yang Fang immediately complained.
"Squad Leader, Xiao Niannian threw my quilt on the floor."
Li Le looked at Yang Fang's bed and saw the quilt on the bed.
Yang Fang immediately explained.
"Squad Leader, Xiao Niannian just threw it. Pingping, Dandan, and Xiaojuan can all testify for me."
Li Le looked at Xiao Niannian's bed.
"Your quilt was folded, why is it such a mess?"
"She threw it," Xiao Niannian lifted her chin.
Li Le heard Xiao Niannian's words, her expression serious as she looked at Yang Fang and asked.
"Why did you throw Xiao Niannian's quilt?"
"Squad Leader, I didn't throw her quilt. I was just curious about her quilt and thought she might have put something improper inside..."
Yang Fang explained anxiously.
"Yang Fang, I watched her fold her quilt. Even if there was a problem, it would be up to the inspectors to check. What right do you have to throw Xiao Niannian's quilt?"
With one sentence, Yang Fang was speechless, but she was still unconvinced.
"Apologize."
Hearing Squad Leader Li tell her to apologize, Yang Fang felt even more displeased, but Squad Leader Li was the senior squad leader, the one in charge of them.
"Sorry."
Xiao Niannian heard the soft apology and said.
"What did you say?"
Yang Fang hadn't expected that even after apologizing, Xiao Niannian was still making a big deal out of it.
"Sorry."
"Too quiet, I can't hear you."
"SORRY!" This time, Yang Fang yelled loudly.
Hu Ping and the others' faces also looked terrible.
"Alright, all of you, fold your quilts now and then quickly get ready for breakfast."
Xiao Niannian quickly folded her quilt, and everyone who saw her movements was somewhat surprised.
Time flew by, and two more days passed.
When everyone woke up and gathered in the morning, Company Commander Hong announced the orders from above.
"After breakfast today, you can all rest. There's no training today, and you can go out, but you must report back before six in the evening."
As soon as he finished speaking, several people cheered, but a glance from the Platoon Leaders and Squad Leaders silenced them.
After breakfast, everyone dispersed.
Zheng Wu, Qian Si, and a few others asked Xiao Niannian.
"Niannian, are you going to the County Government? We're planning to go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and then watch a movie."
Originally, the New Year holiday was supposed to last until the fourth day, but for some reason, training started on the second day this year, and these past few days of training have been truly exhausting.
"I'll go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but not the movie theater."
Xiao Niannian really didn't have any interest in current movies. She had already seen all of them.
"Come on, I heard there's a new movie out recently. Let's watch it together, my treat," Zheng Wu invited with a smile.
"Right, right, our treat!" Qian Si echoed.
The few of them looked at Xiao Niannian expectantly. After interacting for these past few days, they all felt that Xiao Niannian was an excellent person with outstanding abilities, and they all wanted to be friends with her.
"You really don't have to treat me."
Xiao Niannian couldn't refuse, so she had to agree to watch a movie with them.
They took the regiment's car to the county town.
They first went to the county movie theater.
During the New Year, many people were also queuing outside the movie theater. Xiao Niannian followed them in line, observing her surroundings.
Suddenly, she smelled gunpowder.
Xiao Niannian looked around. There were two long queues, and many people were talking.
"I heard they're showing 'Heroic Sons and Daughters' and 'Tunnel Warfare' today, plus a few other films, all of which are very good."
"Then I want to see 'Heroic Sons and Daughters'."
"Why are there so many people today?"
Xiao Niannian stepped out of the line and looked around.
"Niannian, hurry up and come over!"
Zheng Wu and the others, who had bought tickets, called out to Xiao Niannian.
Xiao Niannian looked at the people around her. She saw two men in suits looking around, carrying black briefcases, and walking towards the movie theater.
She immediately walked towards Zheng Wu and the others.
"We're sitting in the back row." Zheng Wu handed the tickets to Xiao Niannian.
Xiao Niannian took the tickets and followed them inside. She saw that after the two men entered the movie theater, they met with two others wearing blue and gray jackets in a corner.
"You two, go in and get ready!"
"Today, we must make a big explosion!"
"Boom!" One of them said proudly, making an explosion gesture with his hand.
Although they were far apart, Xiao Niannian still heard these words.
These four people are spies; they want to bomb the movie theater.
She immediately walked towards them.
