Chapter 307: Second-Class Merit Plaque
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Dong ~ Dong…” the gong rang.
On August 1st, in Wang Ye’s hometown county, something that shook the entire city happened.
A boss surnamed Wang in the south of the city had set up dozens of tables of running water tables by the roadside at the entrance of the only villa community in the county.
At the same time, on the side of the armed forces, there were dragon and lion dances in front, banners behind them, and people carrying signboards and good news as they walked through the county town.
The last time he delivered the third-class merit report, Wang Jian Jun restrained himself. He only invited some friends and set off some fireworks. As for the armed forces, they actually took a bus to the neighbourhood and got off the bus to knock on the gong.
However, it was different this time.
Second-class merit. In a situation where such a first-class merit might not even appear in the entire county for N years, second-class merit counties would make a plaque and send it to the door together with the good news.
Of course, the lion dance and dragon dance were all invited by Lao Wang himself.
Just like today, Wang Jian Jun stood there and shouted with a loudspeaker.
“Come, come, come, fellow villagers and neighbours. You are guests if you pass by. Don’t be shy. Sit down and eat.
Today, I, Wang Jian Jun, am happy and I will hold a banquet for three days. My neighbours, please come when it’s time ~ Don’t be shy!”
Although Wang Jian Jun was actually very worried when he saw Wang Ye jump into the flood.
Later on, when he found out that his son was going to military school and couldn’t come back after two years, he was a little lost again.
But he was a man after all, and a successful one at that.
He was definitely not lacking in ambition. His son was in danger in the army, but from a man’s point of view, from a father’s point of view, he was actually happy from the bottom of his heart that his son had made contributions.
Especially as time passed and as his friends and family praised him, he felt a little smug.
The armed forces department was sending a plaque over today.
He started to make a big fuss.
It was not an exaggeration to say that although Boss Wang was famous locally in the past, it was only limited to a small circle. He was not well-known throughout the county.
Of course, this was mainly because he usually kept a low profile.
But this time, his name was bound to be known throughout the entire county.
Of course, this was also the effect he wanted.
He wanted to tell everyone loudly that he, Wang Jian Jun, had a good son.
He was a second-class hero of the country.
“Which family is this child from?”
“That’s right! Looking at the plaque, it was a second-class meritorious service.
If it was hung on the door, even wild ghosts would have to salute it!”
On the side of the armed forces, they swaggered through the city.
Along the way, they had attracted the attention of many people.
“It’s really amazing, but I know that it seems that the son of Boss Wang’s family in Cheng Nan has made a contribution in the army again.
Don’t you remember? At the beginning of May, fireworks were set off in broad daylight in the south of the city. Later on, 1 heard that it was the son of a boss with the surname Wang. He joined the army and achieved third-class merit.
I heard about it this time too. It seems that his son made another contribution during the flood in June!”
“Good boy, what kind of son is this! One award after another, it was too scary!”
“It’s true. My cousin just called me and said that Boss Wang of Cheng Nan has set up a three-day banquet at the entrance of the community!”
“Damn, I want to eat!”
“1 want to go too. Oh right, I’ll go home first and bring my kid along.
The little rascal was about to enter high school, but he only knew how to play games every day.”
“Yes, it’s the weekend today, and my kid is at home too. I’ll go back and get him. Little bastard, you can’t study well.”
“Haha, being a soldier is not bad. When the time comes, I’ll get you a big meritorious plaque like Boss Wang’s son!”
“Haha! If there really comes a day, I’ll set up a three-day banquet in front of my house even if 1 have to sell everything!”
The plaque of meritorious officials was carried by the crowd, causing heated discussions among the people on the streets.
In fact, it wasn’t just on the streets of the county.
On the Internet, in the QQ group of Wang Ye’s high school classmates, there were also photos of this ostentatious scene appearing.
Some of Wang Ye’s high school classmates saw this situation and even took photos and uploaded them to the group.
“Everyone, come and see the hero of our class.”
After saying this, the student who posted the post even tagged Wang Ye.
“Damn, damn, is it really Wang Ye?
My mom just called me.”
“That’s too awesome. I heard that Wang Ye achieved a third-class merit on May 1st, and now he’s a second-class merit again?”
“@ Wang Ye, CEO Wang, come out and tell your story!”
“Li Han, are you stupid? He’s in the army. How can he play with his phone?”
“@ Gu Shuqi, Class belle, Wang Ye has become a hero. Are you tempted?”
In the group chat, someone suddenly tagged a girl from the special class.
The next second, the girl replied,[What’s there to regret? I just didn’t expect it!]”
“Haha, Class belle, she’s not just a good-looking student now!”
During the period of youth, it was common for men and women to have a good impression of the opposite sex and then confess their feelings in school.
Although Wang Ye loved computer games in high school, he had actually confessed to a girl in his first year of high school.
Looking at the current situation, it was obvious that the confession had failed.
In the group, the topic suddenly went astray. However, not long after, as another student posted the photo of the flowing water mat in front of Wang Ye’s house and the close-up second-class meritorious plaque, the topic in the group was corrected again.
“I’m impressed. I really didn’t expect Wang Ye to be so wild after joining the army!”
“My brother is a soldier now. He told me before that first-class merits will be received by the family, second-class merits will be received when lying down, and third-class merits will be received when standing. I’m very curious, how is Wang Ye now?
Could it be that he really could not stand up in the future?”
Someone suddenly said this. What was even more surprising was the next second.
Don’t listen to your brother’s nonsense. There are also first-class merits that allow me to stand unharmed. In addition, I didn’t lose a single hair!”
“Damn, the hero is here?”
“Aren’t you in the army? You can use your phone to surf the internet in the army?”
“Damn, Brother Wang is out. Please tell us your story!”
After Wang Ye sent out the message, the group was silent for a short while. Then, the messages in the group exploded.
There were only a few dozen people in the class group, but at this moment, the effect of a group of hundreds and thousands of people appeared.
The Ironbones Hero Squad’s 4th Company’s encampment.
At this moment, Wang Ye was sitting leisurely under the shade of a tree on the side of the training ground.
Today was a special day. In addition, it was the weekend, so Wu Jian Feng asked Wang Ye if he wanted to take out his phone last night.
After all, if you used a landline, you would have to remember the number yourself. However, there were so many family and friends. Who could remember all of them?
Therefore, Wu Jian Feng took the initiative to ask Wang Ye if he wanted a phone.
Naturally, Wang Ye would definitely choose to take it.
After charging his phone last night, he went to the convenience store to pay the phone bill.
He had just turned on his phone.
Wang Ye didn’t make the call.
His parents should be very busy today, and Wang Ye couldn’t be bothered to call his other relatives.
Grandpa and Grandma could have told him about it, but they didn’t know how to use their phones. There was a landline at home, but they must have gone to the city today.
Therefore, Wang Ye took out his phone and tried to go online.
It was just that this previous year’s production of the Nokia-branded mobile phone was not a smart phone, and the internet speed was extremely impressive.
However, he logged into QQvery quickly.
Then, the scene just now happened.
When Wang Ye saw that someone had tagged him in the group, he didn’t intend to say anything.
However, someone actually said that he was only capable of lying down.
Wang Ye felt that he still had to explain.
These were all classmates, and their social circles were actually from their families.
If he really allowed them to make wild guesses and spread rumours, Wang Ye felt that if he didn’t explain, the next time he went back, the first thing others would say when they saw him would be…
“How can you still stand?”
Therefore, Wang Ye typed a rumour.
Of course, Wang Ye didn’t say much to them, let alone the class belle in the group.
In his memory, it seemed that this guy in this life had a good impression of this girl.
However, that was the previous Wang Ye.
After his rebirth, Wang Ye had seen a lot of things. Not to mention anything else, in the future while swiping on short videos, they would usually have a bulge in the front and a bulge in the back. In his memory, that girl was obviously a washboard girl. How could he continue to be infatuated with her?
“Brother Wang!”
A voice suddenly came from beside him. Wang Ye put away his phone and turned his head.
In the next moment, Wang Ye saw Zhang Ping An running over with a smile.
He directly came to Wang Ye’s side and sat down. He turned his head with a smile and said,”I knew you could rest again!”
The guy chuckled and took out two apples from his pocket.
“Come, Brother Wang, let’s eat apples and watch them practise!”
This guy actually had a very relaxed weekend.
After breakfast, there was not much to do for the day.
This was because on weekends, the company would take turns to arrange for people to help out in the kitchen.
In other words, they were doing odd jobs. They didn’t have to do anything like washing and cutting vegetables.
Under such circumstances, they had time to come out and play in the morning and afternoon.
“Hehe, alright!” Wang Ye took an apple with a smile.
Although it was the weekend, there were people training on the training ground.
The participants of the 4th consecutive martial arts competition.
The division competition was originally scheduled for the middle of July.
However, because of the flood fighting and rescue, not only did it delay the training time, but there were also many soldiers who were injured later. This situation would also delay the training.
Therefore, the division headquarters pushed back the date of the martial arts competition for a month.
In any case, the competition was organised by the division headquarters themselves, so it could be postponed with a word from the division headquarters.
Of course, this was actually not necessary for Wang Ye.
After his flesh wounds recovered in a few days, he could go on stage and participate in the competition at any time. The training results of all subjects made the soldiers of the 4th company not want to train with Wang Ye.
It was also because of this that after Wang Ye returned from the teaching team every weekend, other than the team events, he could rest after casually practicing the other individual events.
This was also why Zhang Ping An said that he knew he would be able to rest again.
He actually didn’t know that Wang Ye’s family was going to give him a meritorious plaque today.
