Chapter 359 Ode to Joy 5

"Really?" Yunzhi responded, but she was thinking in her heart: These two little devils are naughty and playful all the time, why are they suddenly so sensible and well-behaved today? Did they get into trouble again and pretend to be obedient to please me? Thinking of this, Yunzhi couldn't help but frowned and decided to question them later.

Luo Wenxuan was completely kept in the dark, and had no idea that his and his sister's whereabouts today had been exposed. However, unlike her brother, Luo Yining's mind was as clear as a mirror. She knew very well that with their little tricks, it was impossible to hide from their parents' sharp eyes. However, she also knew very well in her heart that even if her parents knew about this, at most they would nag a few words and express their concern for the two of them, and would never really blame them. In this case, since her brother has decided to do this, how can she, as a sister, not accompany him? Moreover, it feels quite interesting to act secretly like this! Unconsciously, Luo Yining seemed to have returned to her childhood and became like an innocent, playful and naughty child. Tuanzi on the side saw all of this and found it very funny to see Luo Yining like this. But it didn't intend to remind her, so let this little farce continue to develop.

At this moment, Yunzhi walked into the living room with graceful steps and slowly sat down at the dining table. Then, the two little ones also sat down next to their mother with a smile on their faces. Finally, Dad Yiran also came over and sat down. The family sat together, but the atmosphere seemed a little solemn because no one had picked up the chopsticks to start eating.

Yunzhi stared at the two children in front of her with a serious face. After a moment of silence, she finally asked, "Tell me, what did you two do today?" Yunzhi knew the temperaments of her two precious children very well. Her daughter Ningning was relatively well-behaved, but sometimes she knew all the naughty ideas clearly, and Ningning was definitely involved. Alas, there was really no one who was worry-free!

Luo Wenxuan and Luo Yining looked at each other, and when their eyes met, it seemed as if an invisible electric current transmitted each other's inner thoughts. The tacit understanding was like telepathy, and they reached a consensus in an instant - this matter has reached the point where it has to be said.

Luo Wenxuan took a deep breath. As the eldest brother, he knew that he had to step forward and take responsibility, so he slowly said, "Mom, my sister and I went to the mountains to play today. Everything was normal at first. We walked along the winding mountain road, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way and feeling the fresh breath of nature. Later, as we walked, we found a mysterious cave. The cave is hidden in a lush forest. If we hadn't accidentally caught a glimpse of a faint light coming out of the cave, it would have been difficult to detect its existence."

Luo Yining immediately agreed, "Yes, Mom! We were curious at the time, so we decided to go in and take a look. After entering the cave, it was pitch black. Fortunately, we brought flashlights, and we moved forward carefully with the weak light. The road in the cave was rugged and uneven. Sometimes we had to bend down to pass through narrow passages, and sometimes we had to climb steep stone walls. But in the end, apart from finding the book in Dad's hand, there was nothing special."

After hearing this, Yunzhi frowned and showed anger on her face. Although this mountain is visited by people on weekdays, there are still many hidden dangers. And these two little guys actually dared to go up the mountain together without saying a word, which is really outrageous! Thinking of this, her face became more serious, and she stared at the two children in front of her sternly, and said in a deep voice: "You two little brats are so daring! How many times has mom told you not to run around casually, especially not to run to dangerous places like the mountains alone! This time, not only did you sneak out without telling your family, but you also ran to the mountains to take risks! What if something unexpected happens? What did mom say before?"

"You must never go to the mountain alone! You must tell Mom and Dad before you go, okay? And you can only play at the foot of the mountain, remember?" Luo Wenxuan warned his sister Luo Yining with a serious face.

Luo Yining nodded obediently and responded, "I know, brother, we won't run around anymore."

At this time, the mother Yunzhi said, "Since you are all aware of these rules, you should be very clear about what kind of mistakes you have made, right?"

The father sitting next to her watched his wife educate the two children quietly, and he did not intervene. In fact, he and his wife had already discussed the way to educate the children. Because he was busy and had limited time, most of the time it was his wife who was responsible for the children's education.

He tries his best to avoid interfering in his wife's education of the children so as not to disrupt their rhythm.

At this moment, the two little guys looked at their father with pitiful eyes, hoping that their father could come forward to intercede for them. However, Yi Ran just looked at them helplessly, and then gave them a helpless look, indicating that he was powerless.

Luo Wenxuan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he saw his father's reaction. He muttered to himself, "Huh, this dad is really unreliable. He can't help at all at the critical moment."

Luo Yining certainly noticed her father's expression, but she knew better than Luo Wenxuan that this was a tacit understanding and cooperation between her parents. After all, they did something wrong this time. When she and Luo Wenxuan sneaked up the mountain and sneaked back, they had already anticipated that they might face such a situation. So, although she felt a little guilty, she was not particularly afraid of being blamed.

"Yunzhi, the dishes are ready, come and eat! We can talk about other things after dinner." Mother Li looked at the two children in front of her with a loving face and said softly. Her weather-beaten face was full of pity at the moment. After all, in her heart, these two children were no different from her own grandchildren.

"Well, Grandma Li has prepared delicious food. I can smell the fragrance! But what should you say?" Yunzhi said, and saw the table filled with sumptuous dishes, which were delicious and made people salivate at the sight.

"Thank you, Grandma Li! You've worked hard!" Luo Wenxuan and Luo Yining both thanked her almost at the same time, their voices clear and loud, full of childlike innocence and gratitude.

"Oh my, what are you thanking me for! Come and try it. Today I made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs and steamed fish. Eat more, so you can grow taller!" Aunt Li smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits. As she spoke, she kept putting food into the children's bowls.

"Okay, let's eat." Yunzhi smiled and said. Hearing this, the two little guys picked up their chopsticks and couldn't wait to eat.

Afterwards, Yunzhi also picked up a piece of attractive and fragrant pork ribs and placed them in the bowls of Luo Wenxuan and Luo Yining. Although she was a little angry because of some things before, she still couldn't bear to be too strict with these two lovely children. She knew in her heart that every child had his or her own ideas and plans, as long as they were not too outrageous, they could be guided appropriately. Thinking of this, Yunzhi's anger gradually dissipated a lot.

After the family finished their meal, they saw the two little guys standing obediently at the foot of the wall, with their heads down, looking like they were honestly reflecting on their mistakes. Although Yunzhi's anger had almost dissipated, she still felt that she should let the children understand that they would have to bear the corresponding consequences for doing anything. Only in this way could they be more cautious and consider things more carefully in the future.

Yiran watched all this quietly. He knew very well that it was not appropriate to say anything in front of the children. However, after they returned to the house together, Yiran slowly spoke: "Actually, I think the two children did something wrong this time. But after all, they are still young and have limited abilities, so we don't have to worry too much. Just give them a little punishment and let them remember it."

Hearing this, Yunzhi couldn't help but smile and said jokingly, "Huh, why didn't you speak just now? Now you are talking."

Yiran hurriedly walked behind Yunzhi, hugged her gently, and rested his head on her shoulder, explaining softly: "Oh, dear, it's because I want to establish absolute prestige for my good wife!"

At this moment, Yunzhi suddenly remembered something and continued, "By the way, I saw that you seemed quite interested in the books that the two children brought back. Is there anything special about them? As long as they have no problem reading these books, then it's fine."

"I've observed carefully. The two little guys are obviously very interested in this book. Moreover, they understand the benefits that this book can bring to them much better than I do. So there is no need to worry about it." Yiran said calmly.

"That's great." After hearing this, Yunzhi confirmed that there was no big problem and stopped paying too much attention to the matter.

In the next two days, Yiran planned to explain the contents of the book in detail to the two children. Then, he planned to report this matter to his superiors tomorrow. After all, the methods recorded in this book are quite helpful for the training of some soldiers. Once adopted, their strength will be greatly improved. Therefore, he must report this matter no matter what.

However, Yiran had no worries. First, the book was discovered and read by the two children. Second, it would be no problem for the two children to learn the contents of the book. The superiors would agree. As for him, it was very likely that he would participate in the relevant research and practice and become a part of it. Since it would benefit everyone, why not do it?

The two people who were facing the wall and thinking about their mistakes had just stood there for a while when Yi Ran called them to stop. In fact, Yun Zhi had instructed him to do so.

"Ningning, Xuanxuan, Dad wants to tell you something important, you must be prepared." Yiran said seriously.

"Okay, Dad." Luo Wenxuan and Luo Yining looked at each other in tacit understanding, and understood each other's thoughts from each other's eyes - Dad must have something important to say this time. After all, this situation is not the first time. In the past, when they exercised with their father, Dad would occasionally be so serious. So this time, they knew they had to concentrate and listen carefully.

Yi Ran looked solemn and said slowly, "Children, I read the book you brought back today carefully, and was surprised to find that the book is of great value and is really important. That's why I came here to ask for your opinions. Because this book was brought back by you, it naturally belongs to you. No matter what I want to do with it, I have to ask for your wishes first. I think that if the knowledge in this book can be studied and applied well, it will be of great benefit to the daily training of soldiers. So, I have the idea of ​​handing in this book, but whether I will do so in the end depends on your thoughts. Don't worry, even if you disagree, I will never act on my own."

After saying this, Yiran stared at his two children quietly, his eyes full of respect and love. He knew that as a soldier, he had the mission of selfless dedication to the country and the organization, and he could sacrifice personal gains and losses for the collective interests without hesitation. However, when facing his family, he always adhered to a bottom line and would never use tough means to force them to make decisions against their will. Unless they made unforgivable mistakes, he would give them full freedom and understanding.

Luo Yining agreed without hesitation, because from the beginning, she took out this precious book with a very clear purpose - hoping that her father would pass it on to the leader. However, she also knew in her heart that Luo Wenxuan also loved this book.

So Luo Yining asked, "Dad, can we still read it in the future? Can we still learn knowledge by reading it?" She felt that she had to figure this out. After all, if she handed it over like this, and lost the opportunity to take another look at it and gain wisdom from it, it would be a waste.

Luo Wenxuan stood aside, staring at his father, his heart also full of expectations. His father smiled and replied, "Of course you can! After all, you were the one who brought this book back. As for how much you have read, understood and mastered, only you know best."
