Chapter 45 If You're Going to Be a Captain, Be the Captain



After finishing work, Tian Dahua walked home with Xiaoman. A year later, Tian Dahua dared to ask Xiaoman a question: "Grandma Hanli really doesn't like her?"

"Um."

"Your mother told you that?"

"no."

"How did you know that?"

"You'll find out if you want to." She can even gather intelligence on the enemy; this is something she can easily find out with a simple investigation.

Tian Dahua knew Xiaoman didn't want to tell her: "Did her mother-in-law really say she can't lay eggs?"

"Um."

"Then she came back and said that her mother-in-law treated her incredibly well."

Xiaoman didn't say anything.

After a while, Tian Dahua asked again, "Is it really because her husband doesn't sleep with her that she doesn't have children?"

"no."

"I thought her man really wouldn't touch her."

Xiaoman smiled and said, "It's no use moving."

Why?

"Punishment. Five years." Although the original owner was useless, Liu Cheng was also partly to blame. Their royal family had everything, including many secret medicines. To avoid falling into others' traps, she had specifically researched them. Making Liu Cheng unable to conceive for five years was far too easy for her.

Tian Dahua thought Liu Cheng had abandoned Xiaoman, and Xiaoman was resentful. So she cursed him, saying he couldn't have children. "By the way, why aren't you hunting in the mountains anymore? Meat is so expensive!"

"I don't have time." Since the cooperative was established, Xiaoman has stopped bringing back game. She feels that, at this rate, the wild animals in the mountains will soon be taken.

Adults are easy to talk to; if you tell them not to, they won't. But children are different. You never know when they'll let something slip. It's better to just buy meat. She's not short of money. And the children will eat comfortably.

Now, Xiaoman basically doesn't hunt anymore. Small prey isn't worth much, and large prey is too conspicuous. Gathering herbs is different; it's neither conspicuous nor doesn't fetch a high price.

Tian Dahua was both distressed about the money and wanted her children to eat better, so she complained, "It used to be so much better, now we have to work together all the time."

Xiaoman looked at Tian Dahua seriously and said, "Words can cause trouble. This is not something you can say. Also, the land used to belong to the landlords, but now it belongs to everyone. Which is better for you?"

"Of course it's better now." Before, her family didn't own a single acre of land and could only work for landlords, which was exhausting and left them hungry.

"Then don't complain." It's a new country, a new system; there are many precedents to follow, and you have to figure things out yourself. Mistakes are inevitable. "If you have nothing to do, think about what to eat for lunch."

"Yes. You're right, things are better now than before."

After returning home, Xiaoman told others about it. She also told her family when she went back to her parents' home.

Ten days later, people were working in the fields. Suddenly, shouts of alarm came from afar: "Run! Wild boars are coming! Wild boars are coming!"

Just as people were about to run, the wild boar charged at them, followed by seven or eight militiamen. Seeing that the boar was about to injure someone, Xiaoman picked up a palm-sized clod of dirt and threw it at them.

Thump! The wild boar fell down.

Crash! Crash! Crash... The militiamen couldn't stop and several of them fell down.

Militia captain Han Yong charged ahead, tumbling directly onto the wild boar. Just as he was about to get up, he saw a palm-sized clod of dirt embedded in the boar's head: "My goodness! Who threw this?"

Han Hongying was working next to Xiaoman just now. "Xiaoman threw it. Xiaoman threw it."

Han Yong was about to ask Xiaoman, "How did you do that?" when the village chief came over: "Did you hurt anyone? Did you hurt anyone?"

Han Yong: No.

The village chief breathed a sigh of relief: "Where's the wild boar?"

Han Yong pointed to the ground. "This."

After inspecting the wild boar, the village chief patted Han Yong on the shoulder: "You're pretty good, kid. You killed a wild boar with just a clod of dirt."

Han Yong was a little embarrassed: "Village chief, I didn't kill this pig."

"Not you?" The village chief asked, looking at the militiamen behind Han Yong. "Then who are you? Well, you're even more capable than your captain."

Han Yong: "It wasn't them either."

The village chief was taken aback: "If it's not them, then who is it?"

Han Hongying: "Xiaoman! Xiaoman! Village Chief, Xiaoman killed the wild boar."

After hearing this, the village chief thought: The people the organization found are really capable.

He was present when Xiaoman robbed Han Bin. Han Bin was quite tall, and Xiaoman lifted him up with one hand.

The village chief felt it was a waste to let Xiaoman farm: "Binzi's wife, do you want to be a militia member?" There were no female militia members in their area, so he hadn't thought of it before.

"I can take the job. But... I'm going to join the army next year." Han Bin was always talking about it; she wanted to see what the army was like. "Also, if I'm going to be a captain, I want to be one."

The village chief looked at Han Yong and asked, "Do you want to learn some skills from Binzi's wife?"

"Yes." A year later, he was still the captain.

The village chief then looked at the other militiamen: "Where are you guys?"

The other militia members were also willing.

The village chief looked at Xiaoman and said, "Comrade Wang Xiaoman, from now on, you are the captain of our Hanjiazhuang militia team."

Xiaoman: "Mmm."

Han Yong was willing, but his wife was not. "Village chief, my Yongzi hasn't done anything wrong. Besides, what kind of place is she, a woman, among men?"

Before the village chief could speak, Han Yong interrupted, "What nonsense are you talking about? There are female soldiers in the army too. Comrade Wang Xiaoman is more capable than me, so she should be the captain."

"I..." She was about to say, "Wasn't it all for you?" but Han Yong interrupted her, "Shut up. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Village chief, I'm willing to let Comrade Wang Xiaoman be the team leader."

The village chief nodded approvingly: "Not bad. He's a real man."

"hey-hey……"

The village chief looked at the wild boar on the ground: "Comrade Wang Xiaoman, what about this boar?"

Tian Dahua was also working in the field. Hearing this, she tugged at Xiaoman, but Xiaoman ignored her. Such a big pig; if she took it all by herself, others would be jealous. Besides, now that she was the militia captain, she had to get something for everyone: "Distribute it. The militiamen should get more." Even if they hadn't done anything particularly meritorious, they had still worked hard. "Han Yong should get even more; he was at the forefront just now."

The village chief thought to himself: The people the organization has chosen are truly enlightened.

Han Yong: "Thank you, Captain."

The other militia members also thanked Xiaoman.

The villagers were quite happy to have free meat to eat.

The village chief had the pigs carried away.

Tian Dahua whispered to Xiaoman, "You're really willing to spend that much."

Xiaoman smiled. She really was willing to part with a pig.

Han Yong led the other militiamen over: "Captain, what do we do now?"

Xiaoman: "Do you know why we couldn't catch that wild boar just now?"

Han Yong: "We can't run as fast as it?"

Xiaoman: "I just stood here and killed it without moving."

Han Yong: "We're not strong enough."

Xiaoman smiled and said, "You don't need to be very strong to kill a wild boar. First of all, you don't know anything about wild boars and don't know how to deal with them. Secondly, you didn't coordinate well. If you had coordinated well, you could have killed the wild boar."

When Xiaoman was teaching the militia how to hunt wild boars, Commander Wang called Han Bin to his office: "Regimental Commander Han, let me introduce you to someone."

"good."

A man walked in from outside: "Commander Han, hello."

Han Bin turned around and exclaimed, "What are you doing here?!"
