The soldiers, seasoned by the winds and rains of life, were accustomed to grandeur, yet they were profoundly moved by eight-year-old Lin Xiao Yu. What they initially thought was a childish performance turned out to be filled with professionalism and infectious energy; every gesture exuded an air of sophistication. That night, the stage lights illuminated the soldiers' hearts, as Lin Xiao Yu sowed the seeds of art in the military camp with her innocence and hard work, igniting a dazzling flame. 0
 
On that day, sunlight poured into the small courtyard, warming hearts. Lin Xiao Yu, dragging her suitcase, stepped into the house with a light and cheerful gait. Song Ying caught sight of her and instantly felt tears welling up in her eyes. She rushed forward to embrace her daughter tightly, tears streaming down onto Lin Xiao Yu's shoulder. "Oh my baby, you’re finally back!" In that cry was a mixture of longing turned into grievance, but more so, it was filled with relief and pride. She gently patted Lin Xiao Yu's back as if trying to press all her worries from the past month into her palm. 0
 
Lin Dongzhe and Xiao Ting quickly gathered around, their eyes sparkling with curiosity as they tugged at Lin Xiao Yu's arms excitedly. "Sister, tell us what the military camp was like! Were there real guns? Are the soldiers really impressive?" Lin Dongzhe fired off questions like a machine gun, while Xiao Ting nodded eagerly beside him, her face full of anticipation. Lin Xiao Yu beamed with joy and animatedly described, "The military camp is huge! There are neat barracks everywhere, and the soldiers train so hard! Their shouts echo like thunder! They even taught us how to fold our blankets into tofu blocks!" Everyone listened intently as laughter and gasps filled the courtyard, instantly reviving the joyful atmosphere of old. 0
 
Just then, a teacher from the Youth Palace arrived at their door, a broad smile on his face as he praised Lin Xiao Yu: "This child is incredibly talented; her training has been remarkable—she’s a great prospect!" No sooner had he finished speaking than a teacher from the Training Base arrived as well, looking sincere and enthusiastic. He addressed Lin Wufeng and Song Ying: "I would like to take Lin Xiao Yu as my student to nurture her dance skills. This child has limitless potential; given time, she will surely shine in the dance world. What do you think?" 0
 
Lin Wufeng and Song Ying exchanged glances filled with surprise and hesitation, momentarily unsure how to respond. They felt as if their daughter's path in dance was being opened up by shining doors leading to infinite possibilities. 0
 
Upon hearing Teacher Zhang's request from the Training Base, Song Ying's eyes sparkled with joy as she nodded vigorously in agreement. Her face beamed with pride that she could hardly contain. Lin Xiao Yu stood by shyly, her cheeks flushed, still maintaining her low-key demeanor while nervously tugging at her shirt hem. 0
 
"Oh my! Teacher Zhang, it’s such a great fortune for our Lin Xiao Yu to have your recognition; we are truly grateful!" Song Ying exclaimed excitedly, her eyes glistening with tears. She turned to Lin Wufeng and exchanged a knowing glance; he understood immediately and patted his chest in assurance that they would fully support her training. 0
 
Song Ying then hurried off to the market, carefully selecting several pounds of fresh meat to treat the teachers and mentors well. After returning home, she busied herself in the kitchen amidst swirling smoke; soon enough, delicious aromas wafted through the courtyard. The teachers initially intended to decline but could not resist Song Ying's warm hospitality and had no choice but to stay for dinner. 0
 
At the dining table, the Youth Palace teacher set down his chopsticks and cleared his throat before animatedly recounting moments from Lin Xiao Yu's training: "This child is truly moving when she trains! She practices each move repeatedly until she gets it right without giving up. When it came time for the performance at the military camp, she truly shone! The soldiers praised her for having such spirit at such a young age; every gesture showed deep respect for them. She portrayed the bond between soldiers and civilians beautifully!" 0
 
Everyone listened intently, their gazes fixed on Lin Xiao Yu filled with admiration. Laughter and joy echoed through the courtyard as they celebrated Lin Xiao Yu’s remarkable achievements together. 0
