Chapter 250 Performance
Shi Xia changed direction and went to find Chief Wei, saying that she needed to talk to her superior.

Inside the office, Chief Wei listened for a long time and finally understood.

"You used foreign money to buy our own fabric, shipped it to yourselves, and then had too much fabric to use, so you wanted to donate some to the military?"

"Correct."

After a ten-second silence, Chief Wei asked, "Really?"

"A real donation!"

"Comrade Shi Xia, thank you for your generous donation..."

Shi Xia was forced to accept the thanks for more than ten minutes. Chief Wei personally followed her to Hai San Island and saw the fabric on the cargo ship.

Shi Xia also saw them; there were indeed many.

She walked over to Uncle Cao, said a few words, and then the men from the village came over and started unloading the goods.

After one-third, the rest were handed over to Battalion Commander Wei.

The army doesn't need fabric because their uniforms are standardized. The fabric Shi Xia sent had all sorts of stripes, so they couldn't use it, but they could give it to the wives of soldiers.

It can also be used as currency to exchange for other units.

In short, in an era when everything was scarce, fabric was a kind of hard currency.

Shi Xia didn't go back with Chief Wei; she simply stayed on Hai San Island for the day and only went back at night.

Life returned to normal.

Shi Xia didn't go out for a stroll either; she wanted to stay quietly for a while.

I go to bed late and get up late every day, occasionally go beachcombing, fishing when it's cool, and playing with my friends in the sea.

Shi Xia was enjoying being fed by Lin Sisi and Fu Xue from time to time, as well as the special takeout delivered by Xiao Jinzi to Grandpa Shi.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and New Year's Day is just around the corner.

Chief Wei's cloth trade played a significant role, bringing back a considerable amount of goods, which improved the soldiers' meals.

The hottest topic these past two days has been the upcoming performance by a military arts troupe on the island, and everyone is eagerly awaiting the show.

The day before New Year's Day, the day to watch the performance.

Wen Cheng'an went with his comrades, and Shi Xia, Lin Sisi, Fu Xue and other military wives went together. They sat separately.

Shi Xia walked beside Lin Sisi and helped her.

Lin Sisi appears to be pregnant with twins; her belly is unusually large. Originally, her husband disagreed with her coming to see the baby, saying there were too many people and it was too dangerous.

Lin Sisi said that her lover only agreed when Xia was by her side.

After all, when Xia was around, his existence wasn't that important.

Wen Chengan, Xue Gang, and Lin Sisi's husband Zhou Yusheng arrived at the venue first. The three of them sat together and looked back at the same time, but did not see their wives.

The three of them lifted their buttocks in unison, their eyes searching.

"Can't you three be a little more sensible? Stop staring! You think you can lose your wives?!"

Someone nearby teased them, making Xue Gang and Zhou Yusheng slightly embarrassed, while Wen Cheng'an looked over with a proud expression: "What do you know, you single man!"

Upon hearing Wen Chengan's words, Xue Gang and Zhou Yusheng immediately understood.

Yup!

The three of them searched again, but still couldn't find it.

The three had no choice but to sit down. Xue Gang spoke up, "Battalion Commander Wen, is Comrade Shi Xia quite free lately?"

"If you fart, let it go!"

Xue Gang chuckled nonchalantly, moved closer, and said with a troubled expression, "I just want my wife to pay more attention to me."

Recently, Fu Xue has become familiar with Shi Xia and has become a complete fan of Shi Xia. Fu Xue doesn't understand how one person can be so amazing.

Fu Xue used to make excuses, but now she's completely letting herself go.

What Xue Gang's family eats for dinner depends on what Shi Xia wants to eat and what's left in their house.

Wen Cheng'an was aware of Fu Xue's attentiveness, but it was nice to have someone to talk to Shi Xia when he wasn't home.

"Go talk to Shi Xia yourself."

Wen Cheng'an's words silenced Xue Gang. How could he be so distraught? He should go and talk to Shi Xia himself.

"Forget it, I knew I couldn't count on you." Zhou Yusheng, who was standing nearby, patted Xue Gang on the shoulder and said, "Brother, accept your fate. I can completely accept that my wife Xia was my first choice back then."

The two exchanged bitter smiles, sharing a similar fate. Wen Cheng'an ignored them and continued searching for Shi Xia.

"coming!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Gang and Zhou Yusheng immediately looked over. Wen Chengan had already stood up, and the two of them followed him.

"Tokika!"

"Fu Xue".

"Sisi".

Three people came over, helped Shi Xia and the other two to their seats, and then returned.

This action caused many men who weren't equally considerate to be glared at by their wives.

Of course, some people secretly wanted it but said disdainfully, "They're just pretending, like they don't know the way."

"Keep your voice down, or Shi Xia will hear you and bring all the wives from her battalion over to tickle you."

"That's right. A few days ago, someone was talking about the sister-in-law of their battalion. Not only was Shi Xia blocking her at the door, but her husband was also beaten up by Shi Xia."

The group of crickets chirped, seemingly dissatisfied, but their voices were indeed very soft.

The atmosphere in the family compound has improved a lot because of Shi Xia, who doesn't play by the rules.

After all, she really does step up when something happens!

They not only discipline women, but they beat women even more severely.

After Shi Xia helped Lin Sisi sit down, Lin Sisi sat down as well, ready to watch the performance.

Fu Xue opened the small cloth bag, revealing the peanuts inside.

"I just cooked it."

Give me one.

Shi Xia reached out without ceremony, and Fu Xue stuffed the entire small cloth bag into her hands.

"These are all yours."

Then, Fu Xue brought over two more small bags and gave some to Lin Sisi.

"Eat less, it'll be harder to give birth if you're too big."

Fu Xue is also a nurse, but she works in a different department than Lin Sisi.

"I know, I'll just eat a little less."

The three of them sat in a spot neither too far forward nor too far back, eating peanuts. Wen Cheng'an and the other two could see them clearly, and their eyes were full of doting affection.

Soon, the performance began.

The dances performed by the art troupe were full of power and a sense of justice, which Shi Xia watched with great interest.

"Next, please enjoy a solo dance... performed by Fu Huanhuan."

Fu Xue stopped eating peanuts, revealing a look of disgust. Shi Xia looked at her and asked, "Do you know her?"

"They're more than just acquaintances; they're practically mortal enemies."

Shi Xia raised an eyebrow, but didn't ask any specific questions because the dance had already begun.

Their words were inappropriate, especially since it was a group activity, and it could damage the reputation of military spouses.

After her solo dance ended, Fu Huanhuan didn't leave the stage; she held the microphone herself.

"It is a great pleasure to be here today. It is an honor to perform for every soldier here today. You are guarding our motherland..."

Fu Huanhuan said a lot, but then suddenly changed the subject.

"I've heard that our military spouses are also very talented. How about they give a performance? It would be better if we celebrated New Year's Day together."

Fu Huanhuan smiled gracefully, but Shi Xia accurately retorted: "Idiot!"

Forcing a military wife to perform in front of so many people—you've got some nerve! This is a slap in the face to so many people.

Fu Xue nodded in agreement: "Exactly, she likes to pull these kinds of little tricks."

Shi Xia gave her a look, and Fu Xue quickly explained, "I was wrong before, but I've changed now, haven't I?"
