Chapter 1984 Did We Go Over The Top?
“All of you should take it easy. Even if you think you can eat a lot, if each of us makes 100 dumplings, there’ll be thousands of dumplings for the less than 100 of us here. If we can’t finish them, we can’t go back to the dormitory.” A middle-aged man in the middle joked. His ten fingers moved nimbly, and with just one sentence, he made a perfect dumpling. It was obvious that he was skilled at it.
The middle-aged man’s surname was Deng. He was a lieutenant and was the company commander of the sniper base. He was also a soldier with military achievements. He was 34 years old this year.
The soldiers roared with laughter. Someone replied, “I’m not afraid of eating too much. I’ll eat a few and run three kilometers. A hundred dumplings won’t be a problem!”
“That’s a good idea! Comrades, what do you think?”
Everyone objected in between laughter and merriment.
Ye Jian didn’t have much contact with Company Commander Deng. Firstly, she had only been here for a short period of time. Secondly, Company Commander Deng only came back yesterday. Principal Chen only introduced her to the sniper base when she came back today. That was why she had only said a few words to Company Commander Deng.

Company Commander Deng, who came from the Northeast, was famous in the sniper base. He had not been home for eight Lunar New Years in the army. This would be his ninth year.
Initially, he planned to go home to visit his wife and children this year. However, the father of an instructor who was supposed to stay in the army for the Lunar New Year fell seriously ill. Without a second thought, Company Commander Deng took over that instructor’s duty and asked the instructor to return to his hometown early in the morning to visit his parents.
Principal Chen looked at Company Commander Deng, who was talking and laughing with the soldiers. He said to Ye Jian, “He had bought the tickets long ago. The night before the trip, he told me that he could finally go home to see his family and daughter. He hasn’t seen them for a long time. He also told me about his parents. When his mother knew that he was going back, she was so happy that she cried.
“When I came back yesterday, I found out that the father of one of the instructors was seriously ill. He gave his train tickets to his comrade without a second thought. He’s a true man. Girl, there’s no lack of true men in our army.”
She thought that they were just talking about Company Commander Deng. After hearing the last sentence, Ye Jian understood Principal Chen’s good intentions. He was using this as an excuse to teach her a lesson. He was afraid that she would be rash again.
“Commissioner Cai… did he say something to you?” Ye Jian put down the dumpling she was holding and picked up another dumpling skin. She didn’t look up at Principal Chen. Her long eyelashes were trembling slightly. “Can you tell me?”
Principal Chen felt that Ye Jian was good at everything, but there was one flaw of hers. She was too scheming.
He sighed softly and tried to persuade her. “Girl, I’m starting to suspect that Uncle Gen and I may have gone overboard when we were teaching you to be strong… Did we go over the top? Is that why you want to solve everything by yourself? You even like to solve things in secret. Even I don’t know what you’ve done in private.”
If Commissioner Cai hadn’t called, he wouldn’t have known that she left the base for revenge.
Seven days and he didn’t notice anything wrong with the girl!
Ye Jian pursed her lips and pinched the dumpling skin. She looked down and replied softly, “You need to rest. I didn’t want you to worry, so I didn’t tell you.”
