Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 244 Jackie Chan is tortured to the point of collapse! (6000 words, two chapters combined)

"Um, cough cough, Second Aunt, there's no rush. Let's go home first, let's talk about it when we get home."

Jackie Chan really couldn't handle the blind date, but he didn't want to offend his aunt's good intentions, so he could only make excuses and try to delay it, saying he would go home first.

Jackie Chan is about to turn 24. In the rural areas of the late 90s, this age was definitely considered "late marriage," an age that would make his parents very anxious.

Fortunately, Jackie Chan has always stayed in the military, otherwise he would have been tormented by blind dates several times over.

"Pfft~"

When Cheng Cai heard his second aunt start by introducing him to potential partners, which startled his eldest brother so much that he wouldn't even flinch if the sky were to fall, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Xu Sanduo's expression was also strange; in his mind, women were a very distant concept.

My second aunt was clearly a professional matchmaker; her skills were impeccable.

Ever since the county officials came to Cheng's house with great fanfare and presented him with a pile of golden plaques that brought glory to their ancestors, Cheng's family has become famous throughout the county.

Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai, two outstanding brothers, caught the eye of their professional matchmaker, Second Aunt.

He had thoroughly investigated the two brothers' situation beforehand, taking advantage of their kinship ties, and was just waiting for them to return from the army.

Today I was going to the Cheng family home to "scout out" the location, and I happened to run into the two Cheng brothers returning from the military.

This luck made my second aunt feel that it was ordained by God.

She's definitely going to take the matchmaker's money!

Originally, the second sister-in-law wanted to win over Jackie Chan first and get him to agree to a blind date with the girl from the next village, but Jackie Chan's smile caught her attention.

Turning her head, she said, "Chengcai, it's not that your second aunt is saying this, but you're not getting any younger. It's time to get married and continue the Cheng family line."

Since you two brothers rarely come home, why not just settle your marriages together?

My cousin's third cousin's sister's granddaughter just graduated from high school this year and is working in the county town. She's a talented woman from all around, and matchmakers are practically lining up to see her. Shall I take you to meet her tomorrow?

"How...how did this get on my head?!"

Cheng Cai had only intended to enjoy watching the drama unfold, but unexpectedly, it happened to him. He was completely bewildered, staring wide-eyed and unable to process what was happening.

Now it was Jackie Chan's turn to chuckle to himself.

Seeing his second aunt staring at him expectantly, with an expression that said she wouldn't give up until she agreed, Cheng Cai had no choice but to try a different approach: "You can only get married at twenty, eighteen won't do, right? How about we wait a couple of years?"

"Sure, sure, why not?"

My second aunt waved her hand and said confidently, "So what if she's eighteen? We'll marry her first, have two big, healthy sons, and then we can get the marriage certificate, right?"

This is how it is here, it's a traditional custom, it's nothing to worry about. You can rest assured that once the bride price is paid, it won't run away.

Seeing that this tactic wasn't working, Cheng Cai came up with another idea: "I only have a month of leave to visit my family, it's not enough time."

"There's plenty of time, plenty of time, how could it be too late? As long as you two hit it off, I'll bring your wife home in less than a month, half a month." Auntie spoke with absolute confidence.

"God can't escape!! God gets married every two weeks!!"

The aunt's unrestrained and bizarre remarks left Jackie Chan completely stunned.

As someone who traveled from the 21st century, Jackie Chan doesn't actually object to men and women meeting through blind dates, but there should at least be a process of getting to know each other before discussing marriage.

My aunt's outrageous remarks, which show absolutely no regard for feelings and prioritize bringing people home to have children, are truly appalling.

Jackie Chan really can't take it anymore!

Even Cheng Cai, with his smooth personality and eloquence, was forced to his wits' end at this moment, completely speechless, and could only bury his head and move forward.

I can't argue with that.

Let's just not talk about it.

The second aunt, who had been preparing for a long time, did not intend to give up easily. She continued to follow Jackie Chan and his wife, tirelessly promoting their products.

From the east village, the west village, the neighboring village, the county, those with stable jobs...

One girl after another was thrown out!

Second Aunt's main strategy was to catch them all in one fell swoop. Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai were caught and tempted, and Xu Sanduo, who was traveling with them, was not spared either.

"Sanduo, don't just listen from the sidelines. What kind of girl do you like? Tell your aunt, and I'll find one for you right away," Second Aunt said confidently.

Although Xu Sanduo looks much worse than the Cheng brothers.

But the Xu family has been doing well these past few years. The eldest brother works hard at the quarry with Xu Baishun, and every truckload of stones is a truckload of money.

The second brother, with a large group of brothers, was doing very well in the county town.

In the 1990s, even if a millionaire's son was a snotty-nosed idiot, there were still a lot of girls eager to marry him.

Not to mention that apart from being a little short, Xu Sanduo is no less than perfect in any other aspect.

The second aunt thought that if she could win over all three of them, both families would be quite well-off, and the matchmaker's fee would be substantial. She was sure she could make a fortune comfortably, so she talked even more enthusiastically.

"Get me a wife?"

Xu Sanduo had never seen such a scene before; women were completely foreign to him.

Her face immediately turned bright red with embarrassment.

It looks like a monkey's butt!

"Look at you, you coward. It's just a woman, why are you so shy? Stay a few more days this time, and I'll personally find you a good one. There are plenty of women at the textile factory in the county, all of them very pretty."

Xu Erhe patted Xu Sanduo on the shoulder and jokingly scolded him for being so thin-skinned, determined to give him a good workout.

It's easy to tell from Xu Erhe's tone that this guy has been doing very well in the county these past few years, and he's probably had his fair share of women.

It's no longer a rare item!

After all, our comrade Erhe's skills in picking up girls are ingrained in his bones; even if he's ugly, beautiful women will still sit on his lap.

Not to mention he's still a millionaire, so it goes without saying that he can find women to date.

"Erhe, you can't say that. The girls on my side are all honest girls, we know them well, and they can support a family if we marry them."

Seeing that Erhe was going to be a surprise attack, Second Aunt was afraid that things would fall through, so she quickly added more pressure on herself.

She even set her sights on Erhe, patting her chest and guaranteeing, "Erhe, your aunt knows you're capable. You've found several lovers in the county town. I know all of that, but they're all after your money."

Listen to your aunt's advice, I'll find you someone who will be fertile, bring you wealth, and have sons as easily as laying eggs; she'll give you a whole litter of little ones.

"..."

Xu Erhe was speechless!

Although this is the custom in rural areas these days, you must try to have more sons so that it will be easier to get things done in the village and no one will dare to bully you.

However, describing it as "like laying eggs" really hit Xu Erhe where it hurt.

"Having a son is as easy as laying an egg, another classic quote, awesome."

Jackie Chan sighed inwardly, feeling utterly defeated.

There was really no way to deal with the silver-tongued second aunt, so he could only grit his teeth and keep dealing with her, greeting the villagers he met along the way.

Xia Rongshu Village is such a small place, and almost everyone there is related by blood or marriage.

It's either an uncle, a senior, or an aunt.

When Jackie Chan and his two companions greeted them, everyone in the village beamed with joy and showered them with compliments.

Cheng Cai continued to use his smooth manner, taking out cigarettes and handing them out one by one.

Smoking the cigarettes that Cheng Cai specially bought, Cheng Long is a big celebrity in the whole county. Cheng Guoqiang is now the village chief. Many people in the village work in the mine owned by the Cheng family, and some villagers have even invested in it.

With so many buffs stacked on top of each other, there were those who fawned, those who flattered, and those who were curious...

More and more people followed behind!

What started as a small group of four people gradually grew into a long procession, marching along the village road toward Chengjia.

At the quarry.

The rocks that fell from the blast this afternoon are now being sorted into several categories and loaded onto trucks according to their size and texture.

Those large stones, weighing dozens of kilograms, can be sold for building foundations and embankment protection.

The middle part can replace pebbles and be used for pouring concrete or something similar.

Small pebbles can be used to make terrazzo or as a substitute for sand.

Cheng Guoqiang and Xu Baishun stood on the sidelines, watching the stone crusher roar and the small excavator busily shoveling stones.

Every shovelful of stones loaded onto the truck represented a bag of money.

The two of them were beaming with joy.

The people working in the mine are all from the village, and most of them are shareholders. The more money the mine makes, the more money they can get.

They worked with such enthusiasm that not a single one of them tried to slack off.

"Old man, this little bucket isn't enough; it can't handle it anymore. How about we chip in some more money and get a bigger excavator?" Cheng Guoqiang suggested.

"Even the small one costs over ten thousand, so how much would the big one cost?" Xu Baishun was a little reluctant.

"It'll probably cost several hundred thousand, but I can't bear to part with my child. How can I catch a wolf without risking my life? The mining business is so good, getting a big excavator would make me more money."

Cheng Guoqiang is clearly more visionary and also more ambitious than Xu Baishun.

"This is no small sum. I need to discuss it with my second son and see what he thinks..."

"Village chief, village chief."

Suddenly someone shouted and ran into the mine, interrupting Xu Baishun's words.

"Aiguo, what's up? Why are you running so fast? Be careful not to fall!" Cheng Guoqiang shouted.

"Why are you still here? Hurry up and go back! Your sons, Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai, are back from the army!" shouted the villager named Aiguo.

"What?"

This news is explosive.

Cheng Guoqiang thought he had misheard.

"Your sons, both of your sons are back. They've reached the village entrance and are heading home now. Erhe drove them back."

"My goodness, these two brats of mine don't even bother to call before they get back."

Cheng Guoqiang, who had just told his patriots not to run too fast, was so excited that his face turned red and he took off running as fast as he could.

He ran to the mine exit, got on his motorcycle, and couldn't wait to leave.

"You old codger, slow down."

Xu Baishun said sourly, "It's just that your son is coming back from the army. Look at how anxious you are, like you've never seen your son before."

"Baishun, why are you still standing there? Why aren't you going back with the village chief?" Aiguo asked later.

"It's his son who's coming back, why would I go back?" Xu Baishun asked, puzzled.

"Your son Xu Sanduo is back too, he came back with the Cheng brothers. Are you sure you don't want to go back?" Aiguo said with a smile.

"What? My third child is back? Oh my~"

Xu Baishun, who was calm just a second ago, suddenly slapped his thigh and took off chasing after him, shouting as he ran, "Old man, old man, wait for me, give me a ride."

"Hahaha."

When Aiguo saw Xu Baishun's embarrassed look, he burst into laughter, holding his knees.

……

When Cheng Guoqiang rushed back, his house was already packed with relatives and friends.

Cheng's mother was holding her two sons' hands, her eyes brimming with tears as she murmured, "My sons, it's been four years, almost four years! You two have finally come back."

Jackie Chan, you're taller and stronger than when you left. It seems like life in the military is great, and your mother can rest assured.

Cheng Cai, you're much darker than before. You must have suffered a lot in the army.

Are you not going back this time? Mom really wants you to stay, get married, start a family, and live happily together as a family.

Your second aunt cares about you two very much. She's been running around for you two brothers, and has connections with several girls..."

"It's my second aunt again, we're doomed, we're doomed."

Jackie Chan inwardly groaned, sensing something was wrong; his mother's words were very ominous.

Fortunately, Cheng Guoqiang finally returned at this moment, and the crowd blocking the outside made way for him to squeeze into the house.

"Good, good, you look very energetic. Those years in the army were worth it."

Fathers and mothers are completely different; their ways of speaking and expressing themselves are entirely different.

Upon seeing the military rank on Jackie Chan's shoulder, Cheng Guoqiang, a veteran of the military, was overjoyed and asked in surprise, "My eldest son, you've become an officer? You really became an officer in the military? What rank does that represent?"

Cheng Guoqiang knew a little about the military, but not much. He asked with surprise while touching Cheng Long's rank insignia.

They handled it as carefully as if it were a precious treasure!

"Dad, this is the rank of captain. In the army, that's equivalent to a company commander or deputy battalion commander. If you want to take up a post, you can at least become a company commander," Jackie Chan said proudly.

This pride was mainly for Cheng Guoqiang to see, so that he could be proud of his son's achievements.

"Haha, a company commander? My son is a company commander? That's wonderful! Our Cheng family can finally hold our heads high! Did you all hear that? My son is a company commander, he can command more than a hundred people in the army."

Cheng Guoqiang was so excited that his family's dream of becoming an official had come true. Like a child, he kept showing off to the onlookers.

The villagers who were watching were all sensible people; they would definitely support the old village chief's happy occasion.

A constant stream of flattering remarks.

Cheng Guoqiang's eyebrows shot up when he heard this, and he announced to the public that he would be holding a big banquet at his home the next day, inviting everyone in the village to come and celebrate.

No one needs to give money as a gift; it's just about having a good time.

Celebrating Lao Cheng's family bringing honor to their ancestors.

They could enjoy a big meal without having to give money as a gift, and the villagers who were watching were all overjoyed. They expressed their gratitude and offered to help.

Now...

The Cheng family home is even more lively now!

On the first day back, they barely moved. Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai became breathing question-and-answer machines, facing all sorts of questions from relatives and neighbors.

This is the most basic procedure after returning to one's rural hometown after achieving success in the countryside for many years.

Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai both came from classified units, so they could only answer what they could and try to gloss over what they couldn't.

After all, they were all from the same village, and some were even elders in their families, so the younger generation couldn't refuse.

The day after we returned was even more lively.

Cheng Guoqiang hosted a banquet at home for a whole day, hauled a whole truckload of ingredients back from the county town, found the best chefs from the surrounding villages to cook, and invited everyone in the village to come and join in the fun.

With more people in the family, Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai, the two main characters, were also propelled to even greater heights.

Seven aunts, eight uncles, nine cousins...

One comes and another goes, an endless stream.

Even a strong man like Jackie Chan was exhausted after being bombarded with these attacks, and he had no desire to go home at all.

Cheng Guoqiang, the father, was quite happy.

He felt incredibly proud of his two successful sons, and he was so smug at the banquet that he walked with his back ramrod straight.

Jackie Chan thought that after today's banquet, things would finally calm down tomorrow.

Then, Cheng Cai and Xu Sanduo will go together to visit the village and the city, relive the feelings of those years, and experience the changes in our hometown.

result……

Jackie Chan is oversimplifying things!

After the celebratory banquet the following day, news of Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai's return quickly spread throughout the surrounding villages and towns through word of mouth among the guests.

Jackie Chan was a child prodigy in the county from a young age, and his fame spread throughout the province when he took the college entrance examination.

That's a name that's already quite prestigious!

Now, Cheng Guoqiang and Xu Baishun's quarry earns tens of thousands of yuan every year, making them well-known wealthy people in the surrounding area.

In addition, Jackie Chan is now a military officer, and he will definitely have a secure job in the county town after his military service.

They have connections! They have money! They have power!

Regardless of the era, these three things are undoubtedly hard currency, especially in the rural matchmaking market, where any one of them is a winning combination.

however.

Jackie Chan has all three of these qualities!

This was terrible; the situation spiraled out of control.

Matchmakers from all around, like drunkards drawn by the aroma of wine, flocked to Lao Cheng's house in Xia Rongshu Village.

They came mainly for Jackie Chan.

Secondly, they come to achieve success.

In the past, it was often said that if someone's daughter was pretty enough, people would describe it as their doorstep being worn down by people walking all over it.

This saying now applies perfectly to Lao Cheng's family, but in a completely different way. It's as if all the high-quality women from the surrounding villages are practically wearing down Lao Cheng's doorstep.

Both the father and mother were overjoyed, as it concerned their son's lifelong happiness.

They always warmly welcomed any matchmakers who came.

Then, Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai were required to go with the matchmaker to meet the woman.

Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai returned home on this family visit mainly to see old friends and parents, and to relax both mentally and physically.

It's not like he took a month-long leave to visit his family and spent every day and night going on blind dates.

The two of them were absolutely against going on a blind date.

However, Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai were unwilling to go on blind dates, which was no problem for the matchmakers, who could easily find a way to resolve the issue.

Since the man is unwilling to go out to meet the woman, then invite the woman to the man's home.

Even the proudest peacock would lower its head when faced with such high-quality men as Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai, who are practically diamond men in the county.

And so.

Matchmakers, one after another, with girls in tow, appeared at Lao Cheng's house in an endless stream.

The woman had already arrived at their home, so the two brothers had no choice but to reluctantly accept one blind date after another.

Although many of the girls there are quite attractive, they certainly live up to the matchmaker's description of them as "sparkling and beautiful."

But whether it's Jackie Chan or Cheng Cai, they are both currently in the high-growth phase of their careers and simply don't have time for romance.

It's even more impossible for someone to complete such a major life event at home during a short one-month family visit leave.

and.

Jackie Chan's marriage was also very troublesome because he was a military officer. He needed to submit a report to the military and deal with all sorts of miscellaneous matters, which greatly affected his career development.

However, if you stay at home all the time, matchmakers will still keep coming to your door.

This continued for half a month.

Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai were so bothered by this that they felt they were going crazy if things continued like this, so they had to secretly discuss it and make a decision.

Before the official operation, Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai found Xu Sanduo.

The three brothers, using special forces techniques, sneaked out of their homes at night and met up in the woods where they used to play as children.

At this time, Xu Sanduo's condition was also very bad.

Xu Baishun didn't want Xu Sanduo to go back to the army. He insisted that Xu Sanduo stay and help with the family's work so that he could get married and have a child as soon as possible.

These past few days I've been busy making arrangements everywhere, trying to find a matchmaker for Xu Sanduo to find him a partner.

Jackie Chan told Xu Sanduo about the plan he and Cheng Cai had come up with, and asked him if he wanted to go back to the army with them ahead of time.

Xu Sanduo was initially very scared.

Xu Sanduo was always afraid of his father.

However, after being brainwashed by Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai, he realized that he had now become a pillar of the country and could make decisions for himself.

Finally, after gritting his teeth and making a tough decision, he agreed to return to the army early with Jackie Chan and the others.

The three reached a consensus, finalized their action plan, and returned home, spending the night as usual until the early hours of the next day.

It was still dark.

Like thieves, Jackie Chan, Cheng Cai, and Xu Sanduo each left a letter on their parents' beds and then sneaked out of the house.

I ran from the village to the town, and then immediately took a bus to the train station.

I bought the nearest train ticket and left my hometown without saying goodbye.

After finally getting on the train, Jackie Chan, Cheng Cai, and Xu Sanduo looked at each other and instantly felt a sense of relief.

To think that they, as special forces soldiers of Team A, were forced to flee their homes today by a blind date.

Everyone thought it was hilarious and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Just as the three of them boarded the train, both the Cheng family and the Xu family welcomed guests, and the matchmaker began a new round of matchmaking.

As usual, Cheng's mother went upstairs to call Cheng Long and Cheng Cai down for a blind date.

That's when they realized the person was already gone and the bed was empty!

On the other side, Xu Baishun was so angry that he cursed the bastard. After reading the letter left by Xu Sanduo, he stood there blankly for a long time before finally sighing.

He muttered to himself with a sense of relief, "That little rascal has grown up, his wings have hardened, I can't control him anymore, I can't control him anymore."

……

PS:

Still in the fourth month of voting, and they're adding extra chapters every day! You guys are really awesome, thank you!!

My journey home has come to an end.

Next.

Jackie Chan, who has been thoroughly tormented by blind dates, needs to find a place to vent his frustrations.
