Chapter 1089: Company Commander, Rest Assured; I Guarantee the Mission Will Be Completed

~4 min read 728 words

Liu Chuxue sewed a cushion cover from a few old clothes, stuffing it with cotton taken from quilts she had collected from the Ge family. After Zhui Feng went in, spun around once, and settled right there, his tail wagged nonstop while his eyes kept staring at Liu Chuxue; it was clear he liked it immensely.

Liu Chuxue patted the dog's head: "From now on, this is your home."

As soon as Fu Yan Cheng entered the unit, many comrades surrounded him: "Company Commander Fu, you've finally returned."

"Why are you all here?"

"Of course, we knew you would definitely return today, so we waited for you here."

Fu Yan Cheng immediately reacted: "Alright, alright, alright, don't fight; I'll get them for you."

Fu Yan Cheng took out the candy Liu Chuxue had prepared, grabbed a handful for the person who had started the commotion, then directly handed it to the person on his right: "Platoon Leader Ma, I'm giving you a task."

Ma Wuliang stuffed the candy in his pocket: "Company Commander, speak."

Fu Yan Cheng pointed to the large bag of fruit candy just handed to him: "I'm asking you to run to the company and distribute the fruit candy your sister-in-law prepared to the comrades in the company, so everyone can share in the joy and sweeten their mouths."

Ma Wuliang's face was all smiles: "Company Commander, rest assured; I guarantee the mission will be completed."

After speaking, he looked at the fruit candy in his arms: "Sister-in-law is truly generous; this must be six jin of candy."

Fu Yan Cheng didn't expect the guy to know the weight just by hefting it, so he directly gave him a thumbs-up: "Not bad; it is indeed six jin of candy."

Ma Wuliang's face was full of smiles: "Company Commander, just watch; I guarantee everyone gets two pieces of candy."

After speaking, he laughed and darted out.

By now, training on the field had ended; holding the items, he ran all the way toward the barracks, and within a moment, a crowd was following behind him.

On the road, some tried to intercept a few pieces of candy to sweeten their mouths first, but Ma Wuliang simply wouldn't let them succeed.

Within a moment, a crowd was seen chasing Ma Wuliang: "Platoon Leader, why are you running so fast?"

Ma Wuliang said while running: "I must ensure every platoon tastes the flavor of the wedding candy, so naturally I can't let you all snatch it; I know your character; if I don't run, will it work?"

Soon everyone understood the meaning of his words; he distributed them dorm by dorm, placing two pieces of candy on everyone's bed.

For a moment, cheers were continuous.

It even attracted many soldiers from other companies; upon hearing this was Company Commander Fu's wedding candy, they immediately swarmed around.

Fortunately, only the last dorm remained undistributed; Ma Wuliang directly grabbed a large handful, leaving the remaining candy for everyone to snatch, with laughter echoing far away.

In the distance, Deputy Company Commander Shen Kaiyuan, who got along well with Fu Yan Cheng, laughed and punched his shoulder: "How could you bear to come back?"

Deputy Regiment Commander Gong, following behind him, laughed and added: "How could he bear to come back? It's just that he has no leave left, so he had to return."

For a moment, everyone laughed together.

Shen Kaiyuan leaned in: "I heard your family compound application is approved; why didn't your sister-in-law come with you to join the army?"

Fu Yan Cheng took the cigarette Deputy Regiment Commander Gong handed him: "She still has to work; for now, she can only come on weekends."

Hearing this, Shen Kaiyuan joked: "My wife arrived a few days ago; this morning she even asked me when the sister-in-law next door would come to join the army. I told her it would be soon; when that happens, we'll visit the sister-in-law more, strive to build a good relationship, and go to the sister-in-law's house to mooch a meal together."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from behind: "Company Commander Fu, it seems we aren't the only ones longing for your wife's excellent cooking."

Fu Yan Cheng merely rolled his eyes at them: "I myself can't bear to tire out my wife; what nonsense are you thinking?"
