Chapter 52 Fighting an Octopus: Winning by Overcoming Size



After putting the bucket in the yard, Zhang Tong pulled Zhou Shi and ran towards the third row of small courtyards.

She was worried about leaving her unruly child home alone.

After relaying Xiao Dan's words to Li Pengfei and his wife, he went home.

They can handle things; she doesn't need to get involved.

On the way back, I heard several children crying and military wives scolding and beating each other coming from several houses.

The crying sounds were all from girls.

The criticisms boil down to these guys being worthless, not even good enough to eat, only good for manual labor.

What angered her was that when people scolded the child, they had to bring up Zhou Shi as an analogy.

They said if I'm capable, I should grow up and marry a battalion commander like that idiot, so I won't have to worry about food and clothing, and I can even help my family.

She shook her head, dismissing the foul language, and reaffirmed her decision to adopt Zhou Shi as her daughter.

Only by establishing a solid relationship can I take care of Zhou Shi without any reservations.

In her eyes, the girl was not a waste of money, but a treasure, and she would never allow outsiders to have another chance to insult Zhou Shi.

Even using metaphors won't work.

Back in the courtyard, things still needed to be tidied up.

Without seawater, these seafood items won't survive. If we leave them like this until tomorrow, in this hot weather, they'll probably go bad.

Prepare the shrimp and mantis shrimp as you did during the day. Kill the two fish, rub them with salt, and hang them to dry, to be used for sour fish soup tomorrow.

We have pickled cabbage and two fish this big at home, enough for three people to eat for two meals.

The remaining octopus, amidst the little girl's grumbling and expectant gaze, was used to make her a late-night snack.

Stir-fry octopus with scallions and garlic. It's so big, it should make a whole plate.

No one knows what grudge she held against the octopus, but when she put it in the basin, she squatted down with a stick and challenged the octopus to a duel.

"Come on, hit me! Poke my head with your foot! You little brat, I'm bigger than you, you can't beat me."

Snap snap~

The sound of a stick hitting an octopus.

"You have feet, I have a stick, I'm stronger than you, humph."

As she cut the octopus into pieces, she cheered loudly, "Chop it, egg, chop it hard!"

As the oil sizzled in the hot pan, she peeked out and clapped, "Yay! We've got rid of the bad guy! We need to cook him thoroughly, he's dead!"

When I smelled the aroma while stir-frying, my eyes widened in surprise.

"Egg, the bad egg smells so good. Corpse is going to go to the sea and catch all its kind, leaving none behind, and eat them all."

The child's innocent words left Zhang Tong both amused and exasperated.

Only this little tyrant could win a fight against an octopus by using its size to its advantage.

They showed absolutely no awareness of bullying the weak.

As soon as it came out of the pot, Xiao Dan came into the house with a dark face.

Zhang Tong knew things weren't going well, so he brought the dishes into the main room, divided one portion into the pet's bowl, and then turned to ask his wife.

What happened?

Xiao Dan opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he let out a long sigh.

"The man is Liu Guofei, a company commander of the third battalion of the first regiment, and the woman is Wang Dali, the younger sister of Wang Ping'an, the deputy battalion commander of the third battalion."

"I heard that Wang Ping'an's mother sent Wang Dali to the army to find a partner."

"The atmosphere in the family compound needs to be improved. Atong, tomorrow you should talk to Comrade Liu Mei and Comrade Yao Lixiang and discuss it with them. Let's promote the slogan of self-discipline in the family compound."

During this period, the regiment has been involved in numerous scandals. It's time to give the regimental commander and political commissar a good talking-to.

The military encourages families to accompany soldiers to their posts, so that soldiers can feel at ease, not distressed.

If it's all this kind of mess, he'd rather it be all just empty talk.

They've caused two incidents in just a few days; they've really disgraced the military.

He regretted that Tian Gang had been lenient with the matter out of consideration for the army's reputation. He should have set an example to make those scoundrels with the desire and courage to thieves shrink back into their filthy tails.

Fortunately, both of them were unmarried, which at least left a fig leaf for the military.

"Wang Dali? Isn't that the person Wang Ping'an's wife, Miao Lanhua, wanted to introduce to Xie Xiaozhi?"

Xiao Dan frowned. "You know him?"

Zhang Tong nodded, "You forgot? That time I bought lychees and asked you to invite Xie and Lu over to eat."

"As a result, the two of them ran away as soon as they entered the family compound, and you had to bring the lychees back to the barracks for them the next day."

"Later, I found out that Wang Dali blocked them at the door and said that her sister-in-law wanted her to date Xie Xiaozi, and Xie Xiaozi scolded her for it."

"Xie got annoyed by her crying and whining, so he cursed at her and turned around and left."

The two looked extremely grim.

Couldn't the person making the introduction ask the other person if they're willing to go?

First came Fan Rou, then Wang Dali.

Neither of them are good. If you want to climb up to the most promising man in the camp, you should at least have some self-respect.

Xie Lincai took his wife home to his family compound, and then Fan Rou and Tian Gang's affair was exposed, indicating that they had been together for a long time.

It only took two days for Wang Dali to be able to sleep with another man, which shows that she can't stand being alone, and at the very least, she's just looking for something better while she's still single.

Were Liu Guofei and Tian Gang out of their minds? They risked their promising futures by messing around. One is facing punishment, and the other has been dismissed.

Xiao Dan was starting to doubt himself. Was it because he was getting old that he could no longer keep the brats in check?

It seems the training wasn't intense enough, and the person wasn't tired enough, otherwise they wouldn't have the mind to think about that kind of thing.

Alright, starting tomorrow, all you brats, train like crazy!

"Egg, come and eat fish."

Egg said this is called an octopus, and an octopus is also a fish.

Perhaps because they had gotten to know each other better, Shishi learned to share. After finishing her own bowl, she didn't touch the remaining half plate.

Her sharing instantly dispelled the haze and brought the couple brilliant sunshine.
