Chapter 556: Li Yi’s Plan!

The moment they stepped into the dining hall, the sound of singing filled the air. It was a military song, loud and clear, with voices perfectly in sync. Zhu Yanyi had heard that soldiers sang before meals, but seeing it in person was different. Yang Chuang led them inside. The hall was full of soldiers sitting at tables, singing instead of eating. They would only line up for food after the song finished.

It felt strange to Zhu Yanyi. This world seemed different from the ordinary one. She thought for a moment and realized it was more disciplined. People here lived very regular lives. This order was forced, trained, and quite impressive.

"Yang Chuang, are these the twenty young guests for this event?" A man in a military uniform walked over. His shoulder badges showed he was a leader. He likely knew about the children's summer camp.

"Deputy Regiment Commander, yes, these are the twenty young guests." Yang Chuang turned to the twenty children and said, "Alright, everyone stay in your group lines. Follow the soldier uncles to line up for food. Take only what you can eat. You can get more if you are hungry, but do not waste food. Understood?"

"Understood!" the children shouted together. Then they picked up their bowls and went to line up.

The food in the army was not very fancy. It was not as careful as home cooking. For example, the meat here was mostly fatty. Zhu Yanyi saw this and only asked for a little potato. Her appetite was small anyway, so she just wanted to be full.

Each group sat at their own table. Zhu Yanyi and five others sat at a small table and started eating.

"Sister, do you want some meat?" Zhu Zhibin asked with concern, seeing only potatoes in Zhu Yanyi's bowl.

Zhu Yanyi shook her head with a smile. "No need. I don't like meat. Potatoes are fine for me." She looked at Zhu Zhibin and added, "I know you like meat, but you shouldn't forget vegetables. Remember to eat a balanced diet."

Zhu Zhibin nodded quickly, looking very obedient. "Don't worry, Sister. I will eat vegetables if there are any." In his heart, he thought, If I say I don't eat vegetables, my sister will definitely make me suffer.

Zhu Yanyi knew Zhu Zhibin was lying, but with so many people around, she didn't say more. Anyway, she could eat as much meat as she wanted for these two weeks. After they went home, she could teach him slowly. Thinking this, Zhu Zhibin suddenly shivered. He felt like someone was plotting against him. But he shook his head and quickly forgot about it.

Zhu Yanyi took a bite of rice and noticed Yun Yue staring blankly at her food. "What's wrong? Is the food not to your taste?"

"No," Yun Yue shook her head. "Actually, I just miss home a little." Among the six of them, Yun Yue was the youngest. Although she was almost a big kid, this was her first time going out like this, so it was natural to miss home. No one would blame her for saying this.

Zhu Yanyi was the oldest. She reached out and rubbed Yun Yue's head. "It's okay. We can go home in two weeks."

"Sister Yanyi, don't you miss home?" Yun Yue tilted her head and asked curiously.

Zhu Yanyi laughed. "Yes, I do. But we will have the chance to go home. Before that, we must take good care of ourselves. That way, when we return, Mom and Dad will see we are healthy and feel relieved."
