"It's okay, Yueyue is already very good."
Huo Cheng gently comforted her, as if he were speaking to Yingyue, but also as if he were speaking to the others.
"You've lived in the mountains since you were little and haven't had much contact with the outside world. You've only been down the mountain for two years, but you've learned a lot. You're amazing."
"If it were me, I absolutely couldn't do it."
Huo Cheng's later statement genuinely indicated that he felt Yingyue was quite remarkable.
Yingyue was delighted by the compliment and smiled as she took his arm. "So what do we do next? Do we have to retrieve those bombs?"
"I accidentally pulled on one just now, I thought it was going to explode!"
Her tone was nonchalant, but Huo Cheng, who was listening to her, was startled.
"Yueyue, are you alright?"
"It's alright, I'm right here, aren't I?"
Yingyue stood up straight, letting Huo Cheng see her.
It's really nothing.
Huo Cheng checked her over carefully again and found that his wife was indeed fine and had nothing wrong with her.
His heart finally settled down.
Now they should discuss what to do with the bombs on the seabed.
Yingyue remained silent.
She listened obediently, and when needed, she would dive underwater and drag the bomb out.
The discovery of a bomb underwater is a major event, and Huo Cheng and his two companions naturally cannot make a decision lightly.
This matter needs to be reported to higher authorities.
The three split into three groups. Zhao Wenming stayed behind to watch over things, Dou Chenfeng was quick and ran to his workplace to call for help, while Huo Cheng took Yingyue home so she could change into clean clothes.
A bomb was found in the sea today, so Huo Cheng definitely can't leave. Ying Yue's plan to go diving will have to be put on hold.
Huo Qing was waiting at home for Dou Chenfeng to come home, but instead of her husband, she found that her brother and sister-in-law had returned.
She quickly went outside, saying, "Brother, sister-in-law, you're back."
"What happened? Where's Brother Feng?"
Huo Qing looked back and, not seeing her husband, asked Yingyue and the others why Dou Chenfeng hadn't returned yet.
"He has something to do."
Huo Cheng told Yingyue to go inside and change her clothes first, while he looked at his sister and said, "It's nothing, go inside and don't overthink it."
"Oh, I see."
Huo Qing turned and went back into the courtyard.
Yingyue also changed into clean clothes.
Huo Cheng realized it was almost time and he needed to go to the beach again.
Yingyue also wanted to go with him.
"I'll go take a look."
"Just in case you need me!"
She spoke while holding onto Huo Cheng's arm.
Huo Cheng couldn't bear to leave her alone at home, so he simply took her to the beach with him.
The two arrived at the beach, where the families and children who had been playing had already gone home, leaving only a group of soldiers in military uniforms.
There were two leaders in Huocheng: one was the political commissar, and the other was the division commander.
Huo Cheng saw them, and they saw Huo Cheng too, and quickly waved for him to come over.
Not only did they want Huo Cheng to go there, but they also wanted him to bring Ying Yue with him.
"So this is Comrade Yingyue? I'd heard about your rescue mission from the ice cave before, but I never had a chance to meet you. Now that I've met you, you truly are a woman who is just as capable as any man!"
Chief Luo smiled kindly and praised Yingyue highly.
Commissar Chen, standing to the side, chimed in with a smile, "No wonder Huo Cheng rejected all the girls we introduced him to before; it turns out he has this little girl hidden away at home."
"yes."
Luo Aiguo smiled and waved, beckoning Yingyue to come to him.
"Comrade Yingyue, you've done a great job today! Just tell me what reward you want, and I'll apply for it for you."
Yingyue is very straightforward; she doesn't engage in insincere pleasantries.
She takes everything others say at face value.
Sure enough, she believed Luo Aiguo's words immediately.
"Any reward is acceptable?"
Her eyes lit up as she looked at Luo Aiguo with anticipation. "May I ask?"
"Can."
Luo Aiguo nodded in agreement.
Political Commissar Chen also encouraged Yingyue to bring it up boldly.
Yingyue looked at Huo Cheng again.
Huo Cheng wore a slight smile, his eyes filled with encouragement.
Yingyue understood.
She went straight to the point, "Can I have money? A lot of money."
The other people on the side...
This requirement is really simple and straightforward.
However, to be fair, it was Luo Aiguo who brought this up first, and Yingyue's response was simply following his lead, so there was nothing wrong with it.
Luo Aiguo laughed heartily, "Okay, money."
"A reward of money."
"I'll submit the application as soon as I get back."
"Thank you, boss."
Yingyue got her wish, thanked him obediently, and stood behind Huo Cheng.
It doesn't interfere with their conversation.
Those waiting for orders had already prepared their equipment. At Luo Aiguo's command, the divers entered the sea.
With them here, Yingyue doesn't need to go down into the sea.
She just needs to watch them go into the water.
A short while later, the soldiers who had dived into the water came out again. They removed their masks and told the leader in charge that everything was ready and they could be pulled up.
The ships on the sea were ready, and the people on board slowly pulled up the bombs that were underwater.
When the first depth charge was pulled out of the water, Luo Aiguo and Political Commissar Chen's expressions changed slightly.
His face, which hadn't been particularly serious before, suddenly became extremely serious.
They were about to go forward and investigate.
Huo Cheng was also going to go.
He told Yingyue to wait aside.
