Follow the army to the island, the rebellious male protagonist was led by me to counterattack

Chapter 42 Going to Help

Shi Xia felt the fiery gaze of Captain Cheng. In order to prevent Wen Cheng'an from getting too excited, she spoke to divert Captain Cheng's attention.

"Captain Cheng, are you sending me a letter of commendation?"

Captain Cheng finally shifted his target and looked at Shi Xia with even more fiery eyes.

"Comrade Shi Xia, do you have any other recommendations?"

"No."

Shi Xia's words were like a basin of cold water that cooled Captain Cheng's feverish head.

"That's right, it's not easy to pick up cabbages like this."

Wen Cheng'an just stood up and looked at Captain Cheng who turned around.

Battalion Commander Cheng smiled awkwardly.

"I'm not saying you... you're not a cabbage, you... you're a pig's head!"

The kind that gets snatched up as soon as it's served.

Wen Chengan's mouth twitched slightly. What an abstract compliment.

"thank you."

He looked past Captain Cheng and towards the smiling Shi Xia.

Never mind, it's worth it to make her laugh.

Several people left the beach, and Wen Cheng'an ran back to change clothes and take a shower.

Afterwards, several people went to the drying yard, because Uncle Cao was inspired by Shi Xia: some things have to be done in a big way.

For example now.

Good things like the army sending letters of commendation must be publicized!

The "Wall of Honor" in their village is still empty.

He had carefully selected this wall and even painted it white so it wouldn't go to waste.

As soon as the islanders heard that the army had sent a letter of commendation, both those who participated in the rescue and those who did not came.

When everyone gathered in the drying yard, Captain Cheng thought for a moment that he had taken the wrong path.

Does reading a letter of praise require such a big fuss?
He subconsciously straightened his clothes and for the first time regretted not bringing the eloquent political commissar with him.

If that guy came, he wouldn't have to rack his brains to praise Wen Cheng'an's pig head.

When Uncle Cao saw Captain Cheng, who had gone to look for Shi Xia, coming back, he first exchanged a few simple greetings with him.

After the greetings, it was time to read the letter of praise.

Battalion Commander Cheng is a cadre after all. He walks with a steady pace and exudes a sense of authority without even getting angry.

"Hello everyone….."

A letter of commendation should be concise and clear, summarizing the event briefly, expressing gratitude, and signing off at the end.

After reading the last word, Captain Cheng saluted to express his most sincere gratitude.

Shi Xia took the lead and applauded enthusiastically.

Most of the islanders are simple and honest, and given the background of the times, they have great respect for the army.

Battalion Commander Cheng, standing on the stage, felt his heart swell as he faced hundreds of pairs of passionate and admiring eyes.

What simple people!
Battalion Commander Cheng stepped down from the stage with great emotion. After reading the letter of praise, he was ready to leave.

Before leaving, he gave Wen Chengan some instructions.

"Don't go far. You'll have a physical examination in about half a month."

Wen Cheng'an responded nonchalantly, his eyes looking back, and suddenly his expression lit up.

"Captain Cheng, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first!"

Wen Cheng'an ran as soon as he said he would, and Captain Cheng looked over curiously.

Shi Xia was also there, still standing in the middle, seemingly distributing something.

"Village Chief Cao, what are they going to do?"

Uncle Cao looked at Shi Xia and his group who were getting on the boat. He looked guilty inside but serious on the outside.

"They go to land...to help for free."

That's right.

Helping in a fight for free is the same as doing work, there is nothing wrong with that.

Captain Cheng frowned slightly, looking at Shi Xia who was surrounded by people, and he always felt that he looked like a mountain king.

On second thought, I felt that I was overthinking it. They were just a group of simple villagers.

“Everyone is warm-hearted.”

Uncle Cao: Haha, I don’t know if my heart is warm, but my hands are itching. Battalion Commander Cheng left with his men and notified Li Daniu before leaving.

Li Daniu said innocently: "I will definitely go! I promised my boss."

Captain Cheng opened and closed his mouth.

Forget it, let’s wait until the troops can break this stubborn bull.

Captain Cheng's boat left a few minutes after Shi Xia, in two directions.

At this time, Shi Xia was on a fishing boat, with one foot on a stool, looking like a bandit.

"Let's split into three groups."

"The first group is the elderly group, headed by Second Grandpa Wen. You are responsible for hitting the porcelain. Stand at the front. As soon as the Chen family makes a move, you lie down and scream in pain."

An old man with gray hair but a vigorous spirit stood up solemnly and called to a few old friends, "Let's go practice somersaults."

The senior group is ready to go.

"The second group is led by Uncle Wen. Strong men, you don't have to do anything. Just hold your sticks and stand back fiercely!"

"The third group will be led by the aunts. You will be responsible for verbal attacks. You can fight, but you must do so with reason and without anyone finding fault."

As he spoke, Shi Xia stepped forward and said to the aunts, "Come on, everyone, familiarize yourself with your lines. The order is important. Don't be nervous when you speak. I will check for any omissions."

Shi Xia dragged a few aunts to practice their lines. The elderly group practiced somersaults and studied their acting skills.

The middle-aged group ran to the deck, seizing the opportunity to bask in the sun and make themselves look more fierce.

In the blink of an eye, Wen Chengan was left alone again.

"No...what should I do?"

"You're responsible for watching."

Shi Xia walked over and said, "I'll avenge you, just be happy!"

Shi Xia left after saying this and continued to perfect the details of the operation.

Wen Cheng'an's heart, which had been empty for nineteen years, was finally filled.

He thought about how after he and Wen Laoshi went out last night, the father and son walked a long way without saying anything.

It was not until he arrived at the door of his second grandfather, Uncle Wen Laoshi's house, that Wen Laoshi said five words: Dad will avenge you.

Wen Laoshi took Wen Cheng'an to his second grandfather's house and told him about the Chen family's affairs without exaggeration.

Grandpa Wen asked: When are we going?

"tomorrow."

"Row."

After Wen Laoshi brought Wen Cheng'an out of Second Grandpa Wen's house, they went to several other houses with whom they had good relations. Everyone went without hesitation.

When the father and son returned home, Wen Cheng'an asked in confusion: Why?
The moonlight illuminated the road, and Wen Laoshi spoke slowly.

"Cheng'an, you were alone for the past nineteen years, but in the next few decades you will have family, friends, and your own lover."

Wen Laoshi is not stupid. He can see that Wen Cheng'an finds it difficult to trust people, and his carelessness is just the first step to force others to retreat.

Wen Cheng'an lowered his head and said nothing.

"Let's go home."

Wen Laoshi walked in front, without any big reason, just walking in front silently, like a bright light, illuminating the way home for Wen Chengan.

"Hey—what are you thinking about? So lost in thought?"

Shi Xia interrupted Wen Cheng'an's thoughts.

"I'm thinking about what position I'm going to use to have fun later."

Posture....cool?
Shi Xia blinked and looked at the sea. There must be something ambiguous in what he said, not that I have too much nonsense in my head.

When the fishing boat arrived at the port, a group of people carried shoulder poles and sticks and went to Chen's house in a mighty procession.

Today is Sunday, so I have a day off.

Aunt Zhang was in the lead, with Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an standing beside them, and behind them were three groups of old wives. It looked like they were about to cause trouble.

For the Chinese people who have good intentions in their genes, they will not be able to sleep at night if they don't take advantage of the excitement that comes right to their doorstep.

The crowd grew.

We have arrived at the Chen family’s door.

Aunt Zhang gave Shi Xia a look.

Shi Xia nodded, stepped forward, raised his foot, and kicked.

"boom--"

The Chen family’s gate… was broken.
