Xiaolan ate her rice absentmindedly, picking up an aniseed with her chopsticks and still putting it into her mouth.
Little Button stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, and said, "Sister Xiaolan, what are you thinking about?"
"I didn't think about anything..." Xiaolan concealed herself and picked up the water glass and took a sip.
Little Button rolled his eyes and said, "You miss your cousin, right?"
Xiaolan almost spit out a mouthful of water. She touched her chest and coughed repeatedly, saying: "Ahem...how did you know...ahem...ahem...ahem..."
"You were talking in your sleep last night."
"Ahem...I'm talking in my sleep? What did I say?"
"Cousin, cousin..." Little Button exaggeratedly imitated Xiaolan's tone.
The two little girls are similar in age, have similar temperaments, and talk endlessly every day, so they do not live separately, but live in a small button room.
Xiaolan defended and said: "I didn't do that."
Little Button chuckled and said, "Who is my cousin? Is he your sweetheart?"
"Don't talk nonsense..."
"I thought about it in my dream, but you still talk so hard!"
Xiaolan was so robbed that she didn't know what to say.
Little Button whispered: "Sister Xiaolan, have you ever held hands?"
"...Hmm." Xiaolan nodded.
"Have you held hands?" Little Button clicked his tongue and exclaimed.
"just one time."
"Then...have you ever kissed me?"
Xiao Lan's face turned red and she pretended to be angry: "Xiao Button, I think you are as big as a brat and your mind is full of messes... Okay, okay, stop guessing, I was thinking about another thing just now."
"What's the matter?"
"I seem to have seen the lady... Oh, she is Mr. Jiang's wife, Hattori Mina."
Little Button said doubtfully: "Didn't she go back to Japan? Did you admit your mistake?"
Xiaolan held her chin in her hands, frowned and said, "Yes, maybe she admitted the wrong person..."
After dinner, Xiao Button went to Tongtong's bedroom to make the bed. She was short, so she took out the quilt from the closet and covered herself tightly.
Tong Tong changed into his pajamas. When he saw this situation, he joked: "I just saw a quilt walking around. If I didn't know, I thought the quilt had become a spirit!"
Little Button put the quilt on the bed, pouted and said, "Miss, you know how to laugh at people."
"In two years, when you grow taller, no one will be able to laugh at you!"
"Two years is a long time."
"Two years goes quickly."
"Miss, when will we go home?"
"homesick?"
"You don't want to?"
"Well...it's okay for me."
"Miss, will you marry Mr. Jiang?"
Tongtong twisted Xiao Button's cheek and said with a smile, "What do you think?"
Little Button said: "Yes!"
Tong Tong sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes filled with endless reverie, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured: "I think so..."
Little Button thought for a while and said, "What if that Hattori Mina comes back?"
"She's in Japan. She'll be back a long time ago!"
"But...Sister Xiaolan said that she saw Hattori Mina today."
Tongtong suddenly jumped up from the bed and said, "Did you see Hattori Mina? Where is she?"
“Near Sanyuan Bookstore.”
"Why didn't Xiaolan say anything?"
"She didn't get it right either. She didn't dare to say anything nonsense. She just thought it looked very similar."
"Not sure?"
Tongtong sat down slowly, his original happy mood turned into irritation. If Mina Hattori was really back, he would be in an embarrassing situation.

The military unified Yanjin.
In the conference room, all department heads of Yanjin Station were present.
Qiao Mucai glanced at his watch and said, "Secretary Wang, go urge Deputy Station Director Wu."
Secretary Wang said in a low voice: "You have forgotten that the deputy minister is in charge of the Far East Investigation Division and does not need to attend meetings in the station."
Qiao Mucai said oh, coughed twice, and said: "Everyone, the military deployment is about to begin. The day after tomorrow, the Eighth Route Army delegation will arrive in Yanjin. Follow the instructions from the headquarters to pay close attention to their movements and never make any noise to them.
Opportunity for Red Industries! Director Feng, has the location of the Eighth Route Army delegation been selected?"
Feng Qingshan said: "The Hunan Guild Hall is located in a remote area, which is relatively easy to control. Moreover, there is a three-story residential building opposite. We can rent a room, which is condescending and easier to monitor!"
Qiao Mucai nodded and said: "In addition to phone monitoring, we also need to install bugs in each room to achieve all-round surveillance!"
"yes!"
"In addition, there will be a welcome ceremony, and representatives from all walks of life will participate. Students are prone to impulsivity and are not calm-minded, so their lists must be strictly scrutinized!"
"Don't worry, most of the student representatives are selected from the Three Youth League, so there won't be any problems."
Qiao Muchai said: "This mission will be handled by the action team. Captain Jiang, rent a room opposite the Hunan Guild Hall, set up monitoring equipment in advance, and have people on duty 24 hours a day!"
Jiang Xinyu bowed and said, "Yes!"
Qiao Mucai looked around at everyone and said: "During this period, everyone should work harder. Each department has arranged night duty personnel to fully cooperate with the work of the action team and the Intelligence Department!"
"yes!"
"There is one more thing I want to announce to everyone. Secretary Wang."
Secretary Wang stepped forward, opened the folder in his hand, pulled out a message, and read: "In order to commend Jiang Xinyu for his diligent work, repeated meritorious service, and outstanding achievements in defending the country with loyalty and courage, upon the proposal of Director Dai and the approval of the Ministry of National Fang, this award is specially issued
Promotion order to lieutenant colonel!"
Qiao Mucai smiled and took the lead in applauding, and warm applause erupted in the conference room.
Jiang Xinyu stood up and gave a solemn half-circle military salute.
"Everyone, please go back and get ready. The meeting is over!" Qiao Mu stood up and walked out of the conference room.
Feng Qingshan was very surprised that Jiang Xinyu was promoted to lieutenant colonel. It took him almost ten years to become a lieutenant colonel. He didn't expect that Jiang Xinyu, who had only joined the military for more than two years, could be promoted so quickly!
Feng Qingshan deliberately fell in last, called Jiang Xinyu, and said: "Captain Jiang, congratulations on your promotion!"
Jiang Xinyu said politely: "Thank you, thank you."
Feng Qingshan thought for a moment and said, "I remember we talked about this before the Spring Festival. I didn't expect it to become a reality so soon."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said, "I'm borrowing your brother's good words."
Feng Qingshan laughed twice and said: "From now on, I will have to rely more on Captain Jiang."
Jiang Xinyu waved his hand and said: "Don't say that! In fact, I have also inquired about it. The action captains of each provincial station are all lieutenant colonels. I am a lieutenant colonel. It is probably a routine job. In terms of qualifications and ability, I am not qualified.
ah!"
Hearing Jiang Xinyu's explanation, Feng Qingshan felt a little more comfortable. He also knew that the provincial station operation captains were indeed in the rank of lieutenant colonel. Maybe it was a routine matter at the headquarters.
A considerable number of people are like this. They can accept the success of strangers, but the achievements of familiar people seem to be stuck in their throats and feel extremely uncomfortable.
