1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 221 You, wait for the medal to be awarded at the commendation meeting (Request for full order)
"What? Xuemin, you, you, you...are you serious?"

On the way here, Cheng Xuemin did not explain in detail how he broke out!
But when they invited him to the art troupe, both Lao Shi and Lao Hu praised Cheng Xuemin generously.

It also explains how Cheng Xuemin broke out from the enemy's blockade area!
Li Shuanggang was stunned on the spot, looking at Cheng Xuemin in disbelief and exclaimed!
My goodness!

If it weren't for Lao Shi and Lao Hu praising Cheng Xuemin so confidently, Li Shuanggang would never have believed it!
"Old Li, I've always told you that my shooting skills are very accurate. Let me go up with you, and I will definitely not hold you back!"

Cheng Xuemin exchanged a few polite words with Lao Shi and the others, then turned around and made a joke with Li Shuanggang.

"Yes, yes, Xuemin, your shooting skills are indeed amazing. If anyone is holding you back, it's me who is holding you back!"

"But that...that is...that is..."

Li Shuanggang nodded in shame upon hearing this. If there was anyone holding back, it was him, Li Shuanggang, who held Cheng Xuemin back.

In the end, it was Cheng Xuemin who fought bravely and risked his life to cover the rear, and they were able to retreat smoothly.

But no matter how good his marksmanship is, it can’t be this terrifying, right?

After being trapped in the enemy's blockade area for forty or fifty days, we killed enemies one after another. It's no longer a matter of whether your shooting skills are accurate or not!

It's simply against the will of heaven!
Anyway, Li Shuanggang took a deep breath after hearing this and was unable to react for a long time.

"In fact, it's all about the right time and place. My hometown is at the foot of the Qinling Mountains, and I've been hunting in the Qinling Mountains since I was a child!"

"So being in the mountains on the front line is like being a fish in water!"

Seeing that Lao Shi and Lao Hu had the same doubts, Cheng Xuemin simply made up another factor.

"I have been hunting in the Qinling Mountains since I was a child. No wonder you are such a good marksman!"

Li Shuanggang nodded after hearing this, somewhat accepting it, and then said with great shame: "Xuemin, it is me as the captain who failed this time, I want to reflect on it!"

"Moreover, Xuemin, you have always emphasized not giving up and not abandoning, but when you were trapped in the heart of enemy territory, I not only failed to lend a helping hand, but also gave up rescuing you in advance. I am ashamed!"

"Lao Shi, Lao Hu, I want to ask the regiment to punish me!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Shuanggang stood at attention in front of the two men and asked for punishment.

"Shuanggang, you go back first!"

"The group will conduct a serious study on this sudden incident during the visit! As for the final specific results, you can go back and wait for notification!"

The head of the art troupe nodded and sent Li Shuanggang away first!

Then he called Cheng Xuemin and said, "Xuemin, you finally managed to break out. Otherwise, I really would not be able to report to Old Wu!"

"Captain Shi, you are seriously injured!" Cheng Xuemin stepped forward and said politely, "I was lucky to break through this time. I came back yesterday!"

"According to the regulations, I should have reported to you as soon as possible yesterday!"

"I request to be punished!"

Lao Shi nodded when he heard this, then waved his hand and said, "Not really, not really. I heard that it was fortunate that you returned in time yesterday, otherwise your wife... I hope that mother and child are safe!"

"Xuemin, congratulations on becoming a father. I heard it's a son, right?" Old Hu also congratulated him with a smile.

"Yes, Political Commissar. My wife gave birth to a boy yesterday. He weighed 18 pounds!"

Speaking of this, Cheng Xuemin smiled happily.

"It's good to have a son!"

"Xuemin, you should train him well. When he grows up, he will definitely be a promising young pioneer!"

When he was old, he also gave generous congratulations and blessings.

After some pleasantries, Lao Shi got down to business and told Cheng Xuemin that the art troupe would hold a celebration party for all members of the southern visiting delegation!

The date is set for next Thursday, and Cheng Xuemin, the non-staff member who has made the greatest contribution, is sincerely invited to attend.

Speaking of this, Lao Shi really wanted to recruit Cheng Xuemin, a capable man, directly into his art troupe and give him the same level and treatment as a company instructor.

It's a pity that the battalion commander didn't even leave Cheng Xuemin at the front line. The company instructor of their art troupe was not that good enough.

And Old Wu also interfered!

There were other arrangements for Cheng Xuemin, the young pioneer, so this capable young player had no chance to join their art troupe.

It may also be that the timing and destiny are not right. Old Wu wants to train this young player, so he must go through this stage of their art troupe.

Even if you are on a temporary assignment, you still have to go there, there is no way around it.

I just don't know when this opportunity will come. It depends on the arrangements made by Old Wu.

Cheng Xuemin was invited to the celebration party of the art troupe. He did not dare to be complacent and readily agreed to come and attend.

He also reported to Lao Shi and Lao Hu that he had obtained a lot of inspiring materials during his visit to the front line to comfort the south. He said that he would start writing as soon as possible and try to finish the work as soon as possible and send it to Lao Shi in the group for review.

The most important purpose of Cheng Xuemin's visit this time was to write a military article about the theme of this battlefield.

Even though the group didn't mention it, Cheng Xuemin still took the initiative to report it.

In this regard, the troupe's head Shi and political commissar Hu attach great importance to it and are looking forward to seeing how Cheng Xuemin, the young pioneer, will write this work!
The group also gave Cheng Xuemin a suggestion, which was to be as realistic as possible based on real materials.

Cheng Xuemin accepted it humbly on the spot!

After all, his previous work, "The Record of Director Qiao's Taking Office," was somewhat fantasy-oriented, and the content was actually fabricated.

But the key work that the group is focusing on this time must be written more realistically.

This is also the main reason why Cheng Xuemin accompanied us this time and went to the front line to express condolences and interviews.

When they came out of their office, Li Shuangkang, Ge You, Yan Weiwen, Gong Yu, Han Qiaoyue and others were waiting outside.

In addition to Cheng Xuemin's comrades in the condolence team, many other members of the condolence group were also waiting outside!
See Cheng Xuemin coming out from inside!
"salute!"

Accompanied by a clear and sharp shout, the comrades in the condolence group saluted Cheng Xuemin in unison.

Cheng Xuemin was somewhat flattered by the sudden treatment. Then he had to chat with his comrades who had gone to the front line with him to express their condolences and experienced that period.

When Li Shuanggang revealed how Cheng Xuemin broke out from the enemy's blockade!

All members of the condolence delegation gasped and looked at Cheng Xuemin with strange eyes.

Especially Gong Xi and Han Qiaoyue!
They met Cheng Xuemin yesterday, but because his wife was giving birth, they didn't exchange too many polite words, nor did they ask how Cheng Xuemin broke out!
Now, after hearing Li Shuanggang's revelations, the others gasped in shock, and Gong Qi and Han Qiaoyue gasped twice.

They really didn't expect that Cheng Xuemin, who had fought side by side with them for more than two months, was so fierce under his gentle appearance! He killed so many enemies with a sniper and rushed out directly! ?
This……

Is it the God of Literature or the God of War?
"Never give up, never abandon, Xuemin. I accept the punishment of drinking tea instead of wine. It's my fault that I couldn't wait for you to break out!"

Originally, after Cheng Xuemin reported to the art troupe, he was planning to go to Mr. Wu who lived not far away to say hello.

But I was delayed for a while because I was stopped by the members of the visiting group to talk!
Later, when it was time for dinner, the captain of the condolence team, Li Shuanggang, hosted Cheng Xuemin and his team comrades for dinner in the art troupe's cafeteria.

Then, Li Shuanggang brought up the old matter again, picked up the teacup and drank tea instead of wine to apologize to Cheng Xuemin.

With Li Shuanggang's statement, Ge You, Yan Weiwen, Gong Di, Han Qiaoyue and others all raised their tea cups to toast Cheng Xuemin with shame and ashamed expressions.

Never abandon or give up. When on the front line, Cheng Xuemin always emphasized this and always took this as a guideline. No matter how dangerous the crisis was, he never gave up on any of them.

But finally!
However, when Cheng Xuemin was trapped in enemy territory, not only were they powerless to provide any effective support or rescue, they even did not wait until the end.

This made them feel extremely ashamed and embarrassed!

"Old Li, Old Ge, Xiao Yan, Gong Xi, Squad Leader Han, this cannot be possible. You were all ordered to retreat and return to Beijing. Let's not talk about this. It's all in the past, it's all in the past!"

No matter how much Cheng Xuemin blames others, he will never blame them for this.

We are trapped in enemy territory, within the enemy's blockade line. Due to the armistice agreement, it is difficult for us to send troops across the border to rescue people. Otherwise, we will take the initiative to initiate a war, and the impact will be at a disadvantage.

When they broke out, they personally explained the situation to Cheng Xuemin.

As for the condolence delegation, they are all art soldiers in the art troupe, not front-line fighters, and they must withdraw to the rear immediately.

But even so, Li Shuanggang and his team still stayed at the front line in Malipo, continuing to perform consolation shows and waited for more than 20 days.

Therefore, Cheng Xuemin really had nothing to complain about.

"Hello, comrade!"

After meeting with Li Shuanggang and the others, Cheng Xuemin was still thinking about how to get back after the meal!

When I came here, I was picked up by a special car, but I won’t get the same treatment when I go back. I will definitely have to take the bus back by myself.

But what Cheng Xuemin didn't expect was that not long after he came out of the art troupe canteen, someone saluted and greeted him.

Is it the security driver who picked him up this morning?

"Comrade, are you calling me?" Cheng Xuemin asked uncertainly.

"Yes, the group asked me to drive you back, please get in the car!"

The guard driver retracted the salute and explained to Cheng Xuemin.

"Okay, thank you!"

If it were someone else, they would definitely politely say no, but Cheng Xuemin was not polite. He would miss out if he didn't take the special car that would take him there.

Moreover, Cheng Xuemin also planned to requisition this car directly this afternoon and take him to meet Old Wu next door.

If there is enough time, I will go to my father-in-law's Foreign Language Bureau and collect the 6,000 yuan in foreign exchange coupons as royalties.

As for the Humanities Society...

Cheng Xuemin thought about it and decided to wait until he could finish painting two or three volumes of the unfinished "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" comic book and send them over.

There's no need to make a special trip.

But in fact, after going to Old Wu first, he was directly detained and scolded Cheng Xuemin in person for being too bold and rushing too far!

"The exact number is one hundred and twenty-one!"

"what?"

Before coming out of Old Wu's office, Old Wu called Cheng Xuemin again and mentioned something to him. Cheng Xuemin was confused for a moment and didn't react. He just said "ah".

"Photo film!"

"If you took every photo without missing any, the exact number would be one hundred and twenty-one in total!"

"Hey, some sensitive films were withheld by the censors in this group, and the rest are all returned to you!"

After saying that, Lao Wu took out an object from the drawer and handed it to Cheng Xuemin.

This was the camera that Cheng Xuemin brought to the front line to take pictures. It was the one he and Feng Jiayou bought when his parents came over during the Chinese New Year.

Cheng Xuemin brought it with him when he went to the front line to pay condolences, preparing to use it to take photos during battlefield interviews.

Of course, the films are distributed uniformly and the quantities are recorded. After the consolation performance is over, all the films, whether used or not, must be handed in in full.

If anything is left behind, the situation must be explained and it will be reviewed by the higher authorities.

As for Cheng Xuemin and his group, they were not allowed to bring in a single roll of film privately!

Of course, there are very few people like Cheng Xuemin who carry personal cameras to the front line to express condolences.

Cheng Xuemin received ten rolls of film from Lao Hu and carried them with him to take photos when interviewing the soldiers on the front line.

But who knows.

Zaohua Wuchang was trapped in the enemy's hinterland. Cheng Xuemin had no other choice but to take pictures, so he took pictures every time he killed an enemy in order to keep evidence.

When they broke out, the camera was naturally collected immediately, and it became the most favorable evidence for Cheng Xuemin's visit to the front line to express his condolences.

It was not unexpected, because the photo record proved Cheng Xuemin's specific battle results.

One hundred and twenty-one?
Cheng Xuemin only collected one hundred epaulettes, so this camera added a lot of military merits to Cheng Xuemin's military medals.

"Old Wu, did I not bring shame to our group by going up to offer condolences this time?"

Cheng Xuemin took the camera handed to him by Old Wu with surprise, and asked Old Wu a question in a smug and arrogant manner.

"One hundred and twenty-one, what do you say?"

"You... just go back and wait. I will personally present you with a certificate of commendation when the time comes!"

Asking for a monthly ticket!
