> The Youth Memories Recap
Tong Xiaomei spoke sincerely to Ye Fang, expressing her true feelings. Ye Fang supported her decision, and when her parents heard Tong Xiaomei's words from outside the door, they no longer opposed her going to a remote place to work as a military doctor.
Ye Guohua trained the soldiers of the elite squad diligently. It had been a long time since they had conducted shooting training, and his skills had noticeably regressed. Xiao Chunsheng encouraged him not to be discouraged. The soldiers privately discussed Ye Guohua's poor shooting skills, which Xiao Chunsheng couldn't tolerate. He warned them not to gossip behind their backs, and Meng Jinzhu, in anger, turned and walked away.
Ye Guohua asked Meng Jinzhu to demonstrate shooting to the soldiers, but Meng Jinzhu firmly refused and made many sarcastic remarks. He challenged Ye Guohua to demonstrate it himself. Xiao Chunsheng worried that Ye Guohua would embarrass himself in public, so he stepped forward to offer a shooting demonstration. Meng Jinzhu was unconvinced, so Ye Guohua demonstrated and achieved an impressive score of 89 points. Meng Jinzhu was stunned.
Xiao Chunsheng talked to He Hongling about this incident, and she complained that he acted without considering the consequences. Xiao Chunsheng also realized that his relationship with Ye Guohua had changed. He promised to think carefully in the future to avoid giving others a reason to gossip and causing trouble for Ye Guohua's work. He Hongling reminded Xiao Chunsheng to create some distance between himself and Ye Guohua, not allowing his own brilliance to overshadow Ye Guohua. Xiao Chunsheng became confused.
As He Hongling had predicted, Ye Guohua ignored Xiao Chunsheng for several days in a row. Xiao Chunsheng was frustrated and restless. Qian Amao noticed his concerns and advised him to be cautious around Ye Guohua. Since the shooting demonstration, Ye Guohua had spoken to every soldier individually except Xiao Chunsheng. Xiao Chunsheng began to question Qian Amao's thoughts, thinking that he was overthinking the situation. He had always regarded Ye Guohua as a good brother and comrade, never considering surpassing him. Xiao Chunsheng reflected on himself and took the initiative to apologize to Ye Guohua. The two resolved their misunderstanding and made amends.
Meng Jinzhu refused to accept Ye Guohua's authority, but Xiao Chunsheng earnestly persuaded him to let go of personal honor and disgrace. The company commander happened to hear Xiao Chunsheng's words and praised him endlessly. Qian Amao's wife, Lianfang, came to the military unit with their child Heidou. Xiao Chunsheng helped Qian Amao take a leave of absence and invited him, along with Duan Lei, to have a meal with his family. After the meal, Qian Amao settled his wife and child, and Xiao Chunsheng expressed his doubts. Qian Amao was only twenty-two years old, yet Heidou was already five or six years old. It was impossible for Qian Amao to have a child that age.
Qian Amao briefly recounted his experience. His real name wasn't Qian Amao; his grandfather, Qian Fengzhu, was a famous economist in Shanghai. His father inherited his grandfather's legacy, but their family fell on hard times. Qian Amao and his parents were driven to the rural areas of Zhejiang. His parents passed away due to illness, and Qian Amao grew up in the countryside until he was eighteen. Thanks to Brother Pan's protection, he survived. During a major flood, Brother Pan lost his life while trying to save him. Qian Amao vowed to fulfill his filial duty to Brother Pan and treated Brother Pan's wife, Lianfang, and their child, Heidou, as his own family. Xiao Chunsheng and Duan Lei admired Qian Amao's actions after learning about his background and believed that he would achieve great success in the military.
Xiao Chunsheng hadn't seen He Hongling for several days. He Hongling called Ye Guohua and vented her frustrations. Ye Guohua asked Xiao Chunsheng to find He Hongling during his break. Xiao Chunsheng wanted to accompany Lianfang and Heidou for a stroll and also invited He Hongling to help choose local specialties. However, He Hongling firmly refused.
The next day was a day off, and He Hongling suggested going to the market with her roommates to find an opportunity to meet Xiao Chunsheng. Early in the morning, Xiao Chunsheng accompanied Qian Amao and his family to go shopping. He asked Qian Amao to spend quality time with Lianfang while he took Heidou to play around. He Hongling arrived at the market and looked around until she finally spotted Xiao Chunsheng and Heidou. She treated Heidou to an ice cream.
Lianfang was going to take Heidou back to her hometown, but Heidou clung to Qian Amao and refused to let go. Xiao Chunsheng tried to persuade Heidou, and with great effort, managed to convince him. Qian Amao accompanied Lianfang and Heidou to the train station. The elite squad received a training mission from their superiors, which required them to go deep into enemy territory to complete a reconnaissance task. Xiao Chunsheng made careful plans. When Ye Guohua saw the growing closeness between Duan Lei, Qian Amao, Meng Jinzhu, and Xiao Chunsheng, he suddenly realized that he had distanced himself from them.
Qian Amao noticed the subtle change in the relationship between Ye Guohua and Xiao Chunsheng. He advised Xiao Chunsheng not to deliberately hide his brilliance or let it shine too brightly. Both would make others feel uneasy. However, Xiao Chunsheng didn't think much of it. Zhao Xiaohui wanted to go with Guo Heizi to line up and buy the popular "Da La Mao" scarf. She started applying makeup before dawn. Guo Heizi casually mentioned Li Shangyou, who made a fortune as a profiteer in the south. Zhao Xiaohui hastily interrupted him, not wanting to mention that scumbag Li Shangyou.
