Chapter 45: The Performance Begins (1)

  "A group of, come one, come a group of." "Call us to sing, we'll sing, say fight and we'll fight, get ready."...

  When Yang Wei and his friends drove the car to follow Uncle Xia to a temporary camp, they heard that there was a singing performance inside, which was very lively.

  "Haha, Old Xia, you're here! And this must be your little niece behind you, haha, unbelievable! Your niece can even drive a car now! You're really something, equipping all these kids with cars!"

  "Hah, Old Chief, you're wrong about this. This is all thanks to our Commander's keen eye for talent, bringing so many companions to Xiaoxue. All of these things were accomplished by them on their own, and even this car was a scrapped vehicle from our institute that they managed to fix up and make usable."

  "Wow, your little devil has this skill too." This was a lean middle-aged soldier. If it weren't for Uncle Xia calling him Old Chief, and if he weren't wearing a cotton military uniform, one would think he was an old farmer, or rather, the kind of old farmer who couldn't eat his fill.

  "Reporting to the superior officer, Little Devil Squad has arrived. Please give instructions." Xia Xue stepped forward with a neat and tidy report, accompanied by a salute. Apart from being a bit petite, she was indeed a heroic and spirited female warrior.

  This is absolutely not a flattering language, now Xia Xue has grown up to be plump and tall, wearing a neat little military uniform. This is early winter, she has already changed into trousers, otherwise wearing a skirt would even more set off the heroic spirit of this little soldier girl. But now it's also good, with a crisp hat, an open-collared top, clearly outlined pants, and a pair of small black leather boots, with a brown leather belt around her waist, absolutely dazzling to behold.

  "Oh dear, who is this? Little Xue's niece, not bad, not bad, all grown up into a big girl now. Not like the time when she used to pee on her uncle's body. But, how come you're dressed like that?"

  "Uncle, this is our Little Devil Squad's formal uniform, what do you think? Isn't it impressive?" Xia Xue said with a pout, pulling on the old captain's hand.

  "Awesome, awesome, but I feel like this is a reactionary's uniform or something." "What are you talking about? We're just making use of waste, turning the reactionaries' uniforms into our military attire, and letting them reform to serve our mighty Little Devil Squad!"

  "Haha, haha, my niece has grown up and is talking sense now. What's wrong with this dress? Haha, haha."

  "Uncle, didn't you say this was a reactionary outfit? Then they must be reactionaries too. Can I make them change their ways?"

  Xia Xue was unwilling to give in, she had always been a little demon-like since childhood, and couldn't let her uncle get the better of her. Unable to argue back with words, she resorted to action, and shook Director Lao's arm vigorously.

  "Alright, alright, Snow is still polite, but don't shake Uncle's frame apart. How did I discover that Snow's strength is greater than an ordinary warrior? Snow, how old are you this year?"

  "I'm thirteen in virtual age and twelve in actual age, Uncle doesn't remember."

  "I remember, I remember, I was just wondering. What good things did Old Liang use to raise you so strong? Otherwise, come to Uncle's troops."

  "Come on, Uncle, this is digging a corner, or else give me the position of Deputy General, that is Major General, and I will go to your hands to do it." "How come, our Little Snow is still an official fan? What is your current position?" "Uncle, didn't you hear just now? I am a team leader, a deputy division-level Colonel team leader. According to Weizi's words, the full title of this team leader should be Commander-in-Chief."

  "It's no good, it's no good. Uncle can't afford to raise you, and uncle can't give you a deputy military position either. Otherwise, I'll give you a full division." "It won't do, it won't do. Now I'm not much different from a full division, you know that a colonel may also be a full division."

  "Alright, Xiaoxue, no more joking around. I heard that you guys sing pretty well. Yesterday was quite a sensation. Why don't you come join Uncle's team and sing? Uncle is getting angry." The old chief said with intention.

  "Uncle, this is your fault. Who told you to come without telling Xiaoxue? Otherwise, Xiaoxue would have joined your team first. But it's not too late now. We revised everything again last night. Everyone get off the bus and form a horizontal line facing me."

  As she spoke, Xia Xue turned around and gave an order. All the little buddies jumped off the car, including Xiao Li on the passenger seat and two uncles, Xiao Wang.

  "Xia Xue, what about us?" "You two just stand in the back and follow Yingzi." "Okay." Xiaoli and Wang were also very excited, so happy that they could sing along too. These songs were truly magnificent, although there were a few they hadn't heard before, but it couldn't stop their enthusiasm.

  "Turn right, march in step, sing military songs, prepare to rise." "Halt." Xia Xue took out a Japanese war sword from somewhere and hung it on her left side, then drew the sword with ease. She held the sword in her right hand, walking at the edge of the formation like a modern-day honor guard commander.

  "This is great!" The old captain was stunned by Xia Xue's move, Xia Xue was very serious, but the team was hilarious, and the song was majestic.

  "How about it, old chief? Little Snow will definitely raise the morale of your troops to a high level. On the battlefield, you will surely kill more devils. And those two people, one black and one white, they might be American devils, captured by those two wolves who crossed the border. But I think those two wolves were also instructed by that group of kids, otherwise why would they go catch a black and a white person?"

  In the place where Lao Shou Zhang welcomed Xia Xue and her team, a wooden gate was erected, with a couplet written on it. After Xia Xue led her team through the gate, she saw rows of soldiers sitting inside.

  "Lao Xia, I won't tell you, Xiao Xue has already gone in. Lao Liu, take Lao Xia to the office to have some tea." As he spoke, the old chief followed closely behind and ran in.

  "Everyone is here, let's welcome the Xiaoxue comfort team with warm applause." "Wow", suddenly a burst of applause erupted from the scene, drowning out the singing voices of Xiaoxue and others.
