Chapter 604 Duck, Charge!!!
Chapter 604 Duck, Charge!!!
Fortunately, the busy military spouses in the family compound work in groups.
One group mechanically unloaded the truck, while the other group transported it back and forth to the reclaimed fields along the riverbank.
So, the busy military wives didn't notice anything amiss—
No one in this era would have thought of such a magical "space".
The A711 unit had twelve soldiers responsible for escorting the seedlings: Xu Chunfei, deputy battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment; Luo Tao, deputy battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion; Lei Minggang, battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment; and one greenhorn under each of their command.
The journey from Unit A711 in Jilin Province to Unit J111 in Beijing was long, so two people had to take turns driving a green pickup truck to ensure that Miao and others were delivered to their destination safely and on time.
Commander Lu Chenting, the "Living Yama," is in closed training, and Lei Minggang, Xu Chunfei, Luo Tao, and twelve others will not be seen this time.
……
Half an hour later, after unloading the seedlings, the six olive-green staff members from Jilin Province began to feel aggrieved.
"Battalion Commander Lei, Deputy Battalion Commander Xu, Deputy Battalion Commander Luo, and the three of you... there will definitely be plenty of opportunities to see your Regiment Commander Lu in the future."
“When we have time, we will go back to Jilin Province and to the A711 unit. That’s our ‘home’!”
Seeing the six men, including Battalion Commander Lei, looking aggrieved and regretful, Su Nianxi quickly spoke in a sweet and gentle voice to comfort them.
"hey-hey--"
"Sister-in-law, we just feel it's a bit of a pity..."
Xu Chunfei, the deputy battalion commander of the first battalion of the first regiment, whose eyes were filled with something indescribable, scratched his head and grinned.
"Sister-in-law, you have no idea, after you and Commander Lu left, all the soldiers in our unit and the women in the family compound were like...like...what was it again—"
"Battalion Commander Lei, come here, you speak!"
Luo Tao, the deputy battalion commander of the third battalion, who was not good at expressing himself, got stuck halfway through his sentence. He quickly moved aside to move the old soldier's path.
Just now, he only noticed that the thing in the eyes of Xu Chunfei, the deputy battalion commander of the first battalion of the first regiment, started to spin around, which was quite disappointing, so the barbarian went in to provide cover.
When Regiment Commander Lu Chenting, nicknamed "Living Yama," was in the A711 unit in Jilin Province, Deputy Battalion Commander Xu Chunfei was one of his soldiers. Naturally, among the six of them, Xu Chunfei felt the strongest reluctance to see his regimental commander transferred.
"Hehehe——"
"I don't know either."
"However, Political Commissar Jiang said when he was reprimanding us a few days ago that with the departure of Regiment Commander Lu and Sister-in-law Su, all the soldiers in our unit, as well as the military wives in the family compound, are like crops that have been uprooted in the field, wilting and despised—"
Lei Minggang, the battalion commander of the third battalion of the second regiment, suppressed his inner bitterness and offered a forced smile to defuse the situation.
Fortunately, the other three greenhorns were quick-witted and spoke up to ease the awkwardness.
……
"Thank you all for your hard work this time."
"Let's go have lunch at our unit's mess hall."
"Everything has been arranged over there."
It was midday when Su Nianxi invited them. Since the ruthless regimental commander Lu Chenting wasn't there, it was impossible for her, a woman, to take the six men to their home in the family compound. She could only take them to the military canteen.
Political Commissar Gao Songming of J111 learned that the A711 unit in Jilin Province had specially dispatched soldiers to deliver vegetable seedlings to the unit. He found it unbelievable that they had gone to his grandmother's house. He put on his sacred military cap and went straight to the mess hall to entertain people.
Because of the A711 unit from Jilin Province delivering seedlings and seeds to the J111 unit, the entire J111 unit, from top to bottom, now has immense admiration for the seemingly delicate Su Nianxi.
Especially the military wives in the family compound, they all inexplicably became obedient to Su Nianxi Baozi.
……
For the next four days, the military spouses in the military family compound seemed to have inexhaustible energy, keeping themselves extremely busy.
The number of military spouses participating in the development and planting of wasteland along the Niudahe River has grown rapidly, reaching 36, accounting for nearly 70% of the total number of military spouses in the J111 unit's family compound.
There's no way around it; at the very beginning of the morning, groups of military wives, like a joyful, surging tide, eagerly flock to the beautiful and hopeful banks of the River of Bonds.
They were all radiant and overjoyed—
Moreover, the enthusiastic and energetic aura they exuded was incredibly infectious and had an exceptionally strong driving force, making it truly remarkable.
Even the most laid-back military wives in the family compound cannot resist the allure of this united and positive work ethic.
The hopeful and joyful atmosphere of labor is irresistible, making it inevitable that military spouses will join in.
As the adults' ranks grew rapidly, the little army under the four little ones was no exception. Not wanting to fall behind, they added seven more four- to six-year-old toddlers, bringing the total number to nineteen.
The adults worked actively and happily: some sowed seeds, others planted seedlings, and laughter filled the fields of hope.
The little egg-shaped children on the distant green riverbank were also very busy, their playful noise filling the air.
"Walk--"
"Over there, charge! Captain, I'm in!"
The chubby little boy, Sanbao Manman, was like a vibrant little sun; with his sharp eyes, he saw the arrow on the homemade duck-catching device in the hand of the little fire leopard Erbao Yuanyuan "whoosh" out with lightning speed and precision.
Then, a few meters away, the wild male duck in the air immediately fell like a meteor that had been struck, and the mischievous Sanbao Manman cried out in a cute little voice.
"Charge!"
"Charge!"
"Duck meat, mine! Charge!"
"..."
Sanbao Manman was a man of complete influence, and his team members were all in high spirits. They rushed out with their captain Sanbao Manman while cheering him on.
"Fourth team, charge! Go!"
"Grab it! Don't let the third team get it!"
"..."
Little Sibao Dangdang, like an enraged little tiger, was full of a defiant spirit. He suddenly became fiercely cute, and with a wave of his short arm, he sounded the battle horn to his little followers behind him, giving them a loud command.
"Chong duck——"
"Grab it!"
"Duck, charge!!!"
"Ours—"
"Grab it, grab it, grab the ducks—"
"..."
As soon as the bugle sounded, the little devils under Xiao Sibao's command, like firecrackers, spontaneously sprang into action and gave chase.
The art style is a bit off; the Egg Babies' demeanor has been influenced by the Little Four Treasures, making them look rather thuggish.
