Chapter 316 Captain He is particularly happy

The next day, noon.

Under the scorching sun, a company of soldiers were working in the field.

After a whole morning of intense work, they were finally able to take a breath and have a good rest.

The midday sun was directly overhead, and even the shadows cast by the trees became very small.

The soldiers hid in the shade of the trees in groups of three or four to keep cool, but beads of sweat still broke out on their foreheads.

The military uniforms on their bodies were already wet, and some of them had even taken off their clothes, leaving their upper bodies bare.

His strong body was tanned and shiny by the sun.

The location where they were carrying out their mission this time was quite far from the military camp. If they went back for lunch at noon, the trip back and forth would waste both time and energy.

So lunch was prepared by the kitchen staff and then served to everyone.

Each person was given two steamed buns, one Wo Wo bun, and a bowl of loofah and salted vegetable soup.

"Steamed buns again? When can I eat steamed buns again? I haven't had any oily food for a week."

"Are you the only one without meat? We all didn't get any! Stop nagging, and take a rest after eating. We still have work to do in the afternoon!"

"Meat... my braised pork... last night I had a dream about a sow running around in front of me, and then I chased it... chased it... chased it... but I couldn't catch it!"

As the little soldier was talking, he picked up a steamed bun, stuffed it into his mouth and took a big bite.

When pork belly was mentioned, the soldiers around did not respond out loud, but they could not hide the greedy expressions on their faces.

A soldier swallowed hard and asked with his eyes wide open.

"The kitchen staff has been raising seven or eight sows for almost half a year, right? I went by and took a look a couple of days ago, and they were really fat, probably around 200 to 300 kilograms, and almost ready to eat. If we don't eat them, they'll turn into old sows."

"A sow? Didn't the kitchen staff say they wanted to keep it for breeding? But they wouldn't even let me touch it. How could they be willing to kill it for us to eat?"

"That's right! The guy in the kitchen who was trying to steal the door wanted to make three dishes out of one potato, and we were still counting on him to give us extra food. Forget it, I might as well continue to dream. I will definitely catch that sow in my dream tonight!"

The little soldier yelled and clenched his fists hard.

The other soldiers around were also finding joy in their hardship.

Finally, an older soldier, Squad Leader Chen, stood up and spoke to the crowd.

"That's enough. Don't complain. You didn't have this steamed bun before, but now you have it. Just be content. Look at the company commander. He eats the same as us."

"No way? Where's the company commander's snack? Isn't it said that every meal for company commanders and above is given an egg as a snack? Didn't those bastards in the kitchen team screw them over?"

When it came to this, the soldiers became angry, and the people around them all looked filled with indignation.

This shows the status of He Donglai in everyone's hearts.

Squad leader Chen hurriedly explained, "What are you yelling about? It's not the kitchen staff's problem, it's the company commander who refused. The company commander has always eaten the same food and worn the same clothes as us. If the company commander can eat it, what else do you have to say?"

The little soldiers lowered their heads one after another, and the steamed buns in their hands became extremely precious to them.

Some of them had also heard rumors that He Donglai could have been promoted to regimental commander instead of company commander of their company.

Even every time the military held a meeting, only officers above the rank of battalion commander could attend, but their company commanders would be specially called over and allowed to attend as an exception.

In this respect, their company is far ahead of other companies.

Who made them not have such a powerful company commander!

The soldiers admired and worshipped He Donglai.

If only they could be half as good as their captain, that would be enough!

Everyone turned their eyes to He Donglai who was sitting under the shade of a tree not far away.

But this day, something was different.

As a young soldier, he couldn't help but whisper.

"Do you think the company commander is acting strange today?"

"What's so strange about that? The company commander is like this every day. He did more work today than I did. I can't catch up with him no matter how hard I try. How can smart people work so fast? Those nerds in my hometown village can't even feed pigs or cut wild vegetables."

"Don't compare the nerd from your hometown with our company commander. How can they be compared? There is a huge difference between them! Our company commander went to Shanghai to study and can speak foreign languages! And a while ago, the company commander defuses a bomb like that! Squad leader Chen was so scared that his hands were shaking, but the company commander was not afraid at all!"

Every time the young soldiers mentioned He Donglai, they could not hide their pride in their words.

He Donglai's existence is the greatest honor of their company.

Finally, Squad Leader Chen couldn't stand it anymore and patted the young soldier on the back of the head.

"Praise the company commander if you want, but stop making fun of me."

"Squad Leader Chen, you are amazing! You are amazing!"

Even though they said this, the little soldiers continued to talk.

A low voice came out.

"Don't you think the captain seems to be in a particularly good mood and happy today?"

Squad leader Chen also felt this.

My heart is itching and I can't sit still.

Squad Leader Chen walked towards He Donglai.

He is older than He Donglai and has served in the army longer than He Donglai, but he is fully convinced by He Donglai's command.

The two have worked together for a long time and have a close relationship.

So after sitting down, he asked straight to the point.

"Captain, is the military going to commend you for defusing the bomb last time? Do you have a certificate of honor or a third-class merit?"

He Donglai said, "No, it's just an ordinary mission."

Squad Leader Chen asked again, "Does the military plan to give us a holiday? Will the whole company take a three-day break?"

He Donglai frowned and asked in confusion, "Are they tired?"

"No, no, we're not tired." Squad Leader Chen explained with a smile, "I saw that you looked very happy today, Captain, and I thought something good had happened."

Happy look?

Is his performance that obvious?

He Donglai thought that his performance was no different from usual.

He even wanted to reach out and touch the corner of his mouth. Did he laugh at some point?

A feeling of overwhelming joy had filled He Donglai's chest since last night.

last night.

After drinking those few cups of hot knives.

At the beginning, He Donglai was really drunk.

When he left Zhou Chongshan's house, he was in a daze, with reality and memory constantly intertwined in his mind.

Even he himself didn't realize what he had done.

However, the night wind was blowing along the way.

In addition, after returning home, Song Qingqian fed him strong tea.

The confused memories became clear in his mind.

People with good brains can remember everything clearly even after drinking.

My daughter...

He Donglai didn't expect that he would actually shout out...
