Chapter 52 Lantern Festival (1/2)



The young soldier on guard trotted over and saw the pile of supplies about a hundred meters away from the military camp.

He ran to the sentry post excitedly and quickly reported the incident to his superiors.

Not long after, the army leader came over with a team of people.

"Commander He, the supplies are right there."

"Show me the letter, and don't tell anyone about what happened today." Commander He was curious about who the person was who delivered supplies to the troops.

The young soldier hurriedly handed the letter over. Commander He opened the letter and saw a simple message on it: "I heard that your troops are short of supplies, so I specially prepared food and meat to give to you. I hope you will accept them. I recently obtained a batch of weapons from Xiao Rizi, and I will also present them to you! I hope you will defend the land and the people and live up to the expectations of the people. Respectfully presented by patriots."

After reading it, Commander He frowned, his heart full of doubts. Who on earth was this patriot and how could he even get the weapons he needed for daily life?

"Commander, we have already checked. Among these supplies are grain, pork, beef, mutton, and 8 small boxes filled with weapons, including guns and bullets, tanks and bombs. These weapons are very lethal, and we must check and store them immediately." At this time, the people sent by Commander He to check the supplies also arrived.

"Captain He, listen up. Take ten people to store the weapons. Captain Liu, you will be in charge of the food and meat. The two of you should take people to move all the supplies to the troops."

"receive!"

When Commander He saw so many supplies, he was filled with gratitude but also with doubts. He decided to report the incident and let the leaders deal with the weapons.

After Commander He reported to his superiors, they also attached great importance to this matter and sent people to investigate this mysterious patriot. However, several days passed without any clues, and the entire investigation seemed to be deadlocked. Everyone had to shift their attention from the patriots to the supplies.

The supplies sent by patriots this time were all what the troops needed at the moment. The leaders above asked Commander He to hand over most of the supplies, especially the weapons, all of which were taken away by the research institute.

Commander He was also rewarded, his position was promoted from commander to lieutenant, and his rank was promoted from lieutenant general to general. Lin Qingmei did not expect that her momentary care would lead to her future father-in-law being promoted ahead of schedule. Commander He's promotion was not entirely due to Lin Qingmei's contribution, but mainly because the chief and deputy chiefs of the South Island Military Region were demoted.

Now the South Island troops are leaderless, and the people above can only promote Commander He to stabilize the situation.

Time is fast approaching the Lantern Festival, and Lin Qinglan started kneading dough and making glutinous rice balls early this morning. The farm is not closed today, and she has to make glutinous rice balls for more than a dozen people.

"Lan Zi, why don't we make big dumplings and use shredded radish, peanuts, and minced meat to stir-fry and then use them as fillings. These small dumplings are too small and won't fill you up at all." Lin Qingmei doesn't like sweets very much, so she wasn't really looking forward to the dumplings.

When Grandma Lin was still a little girl, she would make big dumplings for her to eat. She hadn’t eaten them for more than half a year, so she was just craving for them.

"Sure! But I don't know how to do it. You have to teach me."

"No problem, you knead the dough first and I'll mix the filling."

When we ate glutinous rice balls at noon, everyone was satisfied with the big ones.

The three experts were particularly satisfied with the food. Lin Qinglan was a good cook, and since they lived by the sea, there was no shortage of seafood to eat. The three experts all felt that they had gained weight in Linjia Bay.

The demoted members of the Red Flag Battalion, Yang Siwei and Yang Hongmei, were having lunch at this time.
