As the vehicle entered the squadron gate, the self-defense sentry saluted and reported.

The car stops at the door.

As soon as Zhou Heng got out of the car, he saw Huang Shan and his squadron start beating drums and gongs.

"Dong qiang dong qiang—"

"Dong dong qiang—"

The sound of gongs and drums was deafening.

At the entrance of the courtyard,

Huang Shan and Liu Meng stood at the front, while Sun Hao and several key members stood on the side.

Fang Lin and Li Meng were also in the crowd, their faces flushed red.

The daily quote on the LED screen in front of the squadron building has also changed to...

Warmest congratulations to Comrade Zhou Heng on being awarded the Second-Class Merit Citation!

Learn from exemplary role models, faithfully perform duties, and train diligently!

As for Zhao Deng

Then naturally there's no place for him.

Zhou Heng stood beside the car, momentarily unsure which foot to step with first.

This is way too enthusiastic!

Zhao Deng also got out of the car.

"Holy crap?"

"Is it that grand?"

At this moment, Zhou Heng saw Bao Cheng in the gong-beating team.

Bao Cheng stood at the front of the line, a large drum hanging from his chest, his face still stern.

But the corners of her mouth couldn't be suppressed at all.

Just then, Huang Shan saw Zhou Heng still standing by the car and called out with a smile:

"What are you still standing there for?"

Come here!

"yes!"

Zhou Heng straightened his back and walked quickly to Huangshan.

Zhao Deng followed him over.

Looking at the medals on their chests, Huang Shan could no longer suppress his smile.

"good!"

"very good!"

"Comrade Zhou Heng, Comrade Zhao Deng, welcome back to the team!"

Liu Meng led the applause.

Next second,

The entire squadron erupted in applause.

"Clap clap clap—"

"Dong qiang dong qiang—"

"Dong dong qiang—"

Then the sound of gongs and drums began again.

Huang Shan turned around and looked at the entire squadron.

"Comrades!"

"This morning, Comrades Zhou Heng and Zhao Deng attended the brigade's commendation meeting."

"Comrade Zhou Heng was awarded a second-class merit."

"Comrade Zhao Deng was awarded a third-class merit."

"This is their personal honor, and also the honor of our First Squadron!"

"Extra meal and rest this afternoon and evening!"

"good!"

"Wuhu~"

Applause erupted again, accompanied by cheers from others.

Zhao Deng stood to the side, his face also slightly flushed.

The feeling of facing the leaders at the brigade and facing the cheering brothers back now is completely different!

Huang Shan continued:

"How is honor earned?"

"It didn't fall from the sky."

"That's what we get from our regular training!"

"It's because of diligently fulfilling my duties!"

"He stepped up at a crucial moment!"

"We hope all comrades will learn from them!"

"Did you understand?"

"clear!"

Upon hearing the sound, Huang Shan nodded in satisfaction.

He then looked at Zhou Heng.

"Come on, let's eat! The mess hall has been busy all morning!"

"yes!"

Upon entering the cafeteria, the dishes were already laid out.

Zhou Heng was just about to sit down in Class 1 when Huang Shan pulled him over.

"Come to this table at the team headquarters, you're the star of the show today!"

"this....."

Zhou Heng glanced at Bao Cheng, who nodded slightly, signaling him to come over.

It's just a meal, what's the big deal?

"Yes."

Zhou Heng felt somewhat uncomfortable after sitting down.

Huangshan kept putting food on his plate.

Seeing Zhou Heng's stiff expression, Huang Shan couldn't help but laugh:

"Relax."

"Today is a celebration for your success!"

He then picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Monitor, turn off the surveillance cameras in the cafeteria!"

"receive!"

Over there in Class One.

Fang Lin held his bowl, his eyes practically gleaming as he looked towards the team headquarters table.

Holy crap.

"Is this the treatment for a second-class merit award?"

Li Meng was also staring at that direction.

"Are there more dishes served at the team headquarters?"

Fang Lin examined it carefully.

"It seems the same."

Li Meng was somewhat disappointed.

"That's pointless."

Bao Cheng heard their whispers and glared at them.

"Are you two country bumpkins?"

"The dishes are definitely the same, don't talk nonsense!"

Fang Lin shrank back.

"Class monitor, I'm just envious~"

"envious?"

Bao Cheng also looked at Zhou Heng.

"You think I'm not envious?"

"That's a second-class merit!"

"But what's the use of envy?"

"Zhou Heng's ability to encounter and handle situations well is a testament to his skill!"

"With your two pathetic cowards, you'd be scared out of your wits if something really happened!"

Fang Lin: "..."

Li Meng: "..."

The desks in Class 1 fell silent instantly.

Cao Jun almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Fang Lin hesitated for a while before whispering:

"Class monitor."

"I don't think I'd pee, do I?"

Bao Cheng looked at him.

"Indeed, I reckon the poop will come out too!"

"what?"

Li Meng put down his chopsticks with a complicated expression.

"Squad leader, are we eating?"

Bao Cheng raised his eyebrows.

"What's wrong?"

"You can't eat anymore?"

"All you ever think about are pointless things. You all know what Zhou Heng was like when he first arrived."

"But what are they like now?"

"Although this guy likes to act, he now has something to show for himself."

"Where are you two?"

"There's nothing there, just a mouth that keeps babbling on and on all day."

"To put it bluntly, you two still haven't practiced enough?"

"Class monitor..."

"Shut up!"

Bao Cheng stuffed a piece of braised pork inside.

"Although it's said that you shouldn't flirt at the dinner table, you still have to say what needs to be said."

"However, you two have indeed shown significant improvement in the last two days, which is commendable!"

"Keep it up."

"Rest this afternoon, we still have to practice tomorrow!"

"yes!"

At the team headquarters.

After Huang Shan put down the walkie-talkie, the atmosphere in the cafeteria became noticeably more relaxed.

What's there to be afraid of if there are no security cameras?

People are less reserved when eating and talking.

Huang Shan put a chicken leg on Zhou Heng's plate.

"eat."

"Don't just look."

Zhou Heng quickly picked up the bowl.

"Thank you, Captain."

Huang Shan said with a smile:

"You're the boss today!"

"By the way, regarding this plaque, the brigade's idea is to take you home to visit your family on Saturday morning."

"what?"

Zhou Heng stopped eating with his chopsticks.

"So fast?"

Huang Shan nodded.

"The process is still being finalized."

"We're tentatively scheduled to depart on Saturday morning."

"If the local schedule is okay, then we'll proceed with this."

"You'll be wearing casual clothes then."

"The brigade will arrange it!"

"what?"

Zhou Heng still felt it was a bit too fast.

Take the plaque home.

this.....

Liu Meng smiled as she observed his reaction.

"What? Do you think it's a bit too fast?"

"Don't panic, just leave everything to the brigade."

"However, local TV stations will probably come to interview you too."

"Just be careful when the time comes."

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng suddenly asked:

"Does my family know about this now?"

Liu Meng shook her head.

"The detachment will contact the local authorities according to procedure."

"The local authorities should notify your family in advance."

"We don't know if we've received a formal notification, but you can ask them when they send it to your phone this afternoon."

"yes!"

"Yes."

Huangshan put another piece of meat on his plate.

"Alright."

"Stop thinking about it, let's eat first!"

"yes!"

Happy Holidays to all of you!
