263: Promotion ceremony for officers in the division.

"I heard that Company Commander Xu from our regiment won several awards in the Division Headquarters competition this time."

"Yes, yes, yes, I heard Company Commander Xu took first place."

"Sister-in-law Xu, your Company Commander Xu is truly outstanding."

"Sister-in-law Xu, you look really beautiful today."

Xiao Yueyue grew even more smug listening to the words of the sister-in-laws.

Since arriving here, she had inquired about Xu Yang and knew how capable Xu Yang was.

What could Xiao Niannian possibly use to compare with her now?

Xiao Niannian would never be able to beat her in this life. It was impossible for Xiao Niannian to find a man better than Xu Yang.

Xiao Yueyue sat in the area reserved for family members, and her gaze fell on the distance, where she saw Grandma Xiao and Cheng Yu approaching.

Her expression immediately turned unpleasant.

That Old Woman, helping outsiders; she was clearly her own grandmother, yet she helped that bitch Xiao Niannian.

If that Old Woman hadn't complained to Regiment Commander Wang, Regiment Commander Wang wouldn't have sent the Military Unit personnel to investigate in the City Name, nor would he have demanded the return of those thousand-plus yuan.

If her parents couldn't be brought back this time, she wouldn't let the Old Woman off the hook.

But right now, she couldn't cause a scene with Xiao Niannian and Grandma Xiao in front of the Division Headquarters personnel. Her mother-in-law had warned her that if she embarrassed Xu Yang or the Xu Family, she would definitely be forced to divorce Xu Yang.

She knew Xu Yangs Mother was a formidable person, so although she had made some small moves these days, she didn't dare to overdo things.

Otherwise, she would truly lose everything.

Xiao Niannian returned to the formation.

Soon, it was time for the commendation meeting.

After Division Commander Yu and the Commanders sat down, the host immediately began speaking.

Afterward, the Division Commander, Political Commissar, and other Commanders spoke a few words.

The host began announcing the rankings of the various competitions, and the names of the regiments and battalions.

"First place in the shooting competition, Division Reconnaissance Battalion's Xiao Niannian..."

Xiao Niannian stood up and walked toward the stage.

Xiao Niannian stood in the center position, with the second and third place winners standing beside her.

As soon as Xiao Niannian received her award and stepped off the stage, it was time for another subject where she won first place, so she walked back up.

Four times in a row, Xiao Niannian stood right in the center.

Division Commander Yu and Political Commissar Zhao presented Xiao Niannian with medals and certificates four times consecutively.

Xiao Yueyue watched this scene in shock. The first time Xiao Niannian went up, she was filled with disbelief, thinking Xiao Niannian hadn't earned it through skill.

But with four consecutive awards, and Xiao Niannian taking first place and standing in the center, she saw the Soldiers holding cameras taking photos of Xiao Niannian, and Division Commander Yu, Political Commissar Zhao, and others treating Xiao Niannian so well—what exactly was going on?

She saw that her husband only got second and third place, and his expression was extremely ugly.

Xu Yang's expression at that moment truly looked worse than crying, even though he was smiling.

Xiao Niannian received her awards from Division Commander Yu and Political Commissar Zhao, while he only received his from other Division Headquarters Commanders.

Seeing Xu Yang's expression, Xiao Niannian smiled.

Hearing Xiao Niannian's mocking laughter, Xu Yang looked at Xiao Niannian with a dark expression.

Xiao Yueyue, however, interpreted this scene as Xiao Niannian deliberately trying to attract Xu Yang's attention.

"Grandma, look, these are the awards I won."

Xiao Niannian handed both the certificates and the medals to Grandma Xiao.

"Good, good, good! Our Niannian is truly amazing. You are Grandma's pride..."

Grandma Xiao couldn't stop smiling.

Looking at these medals, Grandma Xiao felt extremely happy.

Xiao Yueyue and Grandma Xiao were only separated by a few rows, and she overheard Grandma Xiao talking to Xiao Niannian.

She felt terribly jealous.

All she heard around her were words praising Xiao Niannian.

"I heard this Comrade Xiao is a fresh recruit who performed exceptionally well back in the New Recruit Regiment."

"I heard she's only twenty years old, yet she's so capable."

"She won against the entire Division Headquarters personnel!"

"Oh my goodness, how did she manage that?"

The more Xiao Yueyue thought about it, the angrier she became, and her gaze towards Xiao Niannian grew even more vicious.

"Brother Xu Yang."

Thinking of her parents' matter, Xiao Yueyue withdrew her gaze and called out to Xu Yang in a sweet voice.

But Xu Yang was annoyed and didn't pay any attention to Xiao Yueyue's words.

"Are you still thinking about her?"

Xiao Yueyue got angry and immediately shoved Xu Yang.

Xu Yang snapped back to reality and looked coldly at Xiao Yueyue.

Xiao Yueyue's voice was quite loud, attracting the attention of many people.

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense."

Xu Yang hadn't expected Xiao Yueyue to be jealous and fighting for attention at a time like this. How did he end up getting entangled with a woman like this?

He thought again of how good Wu Jiao was. Although Wu Jiao sometimes had a small temper, she never acted crazy in public settings.

Unfortunately, it was too late for anything now.

His gaze fell upon Xiao Yueyue's belly, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he looked away.

"Even if you're going crazy, pay attention to the setting."

The warning words instantly brought Xiao Yueyue back to her senses.

Seeing many people looking at her, she quickly lowered her head, nervously twisting the corner of her clothes, her teeth grinding audibly.

Soon, the host announced the list of winners for the Division Headquarters team competition.

Xiao Niannian walked onto the stage with her Comrades-in-arms.

Enthusiastic applause erupted below.

"Clap, clap, clap."

The Soldiers of the Reconnaissance Battalion clapped with exceptional force.

"Our Battalion is number one!"

"We defended the honor of the Reconnaissance Battalion!"

Listening to the cheers from below, Xiao Niannian smiled.

She had previously wanted to lead the Reconnaissance Battalion to become number one in the Division Headquarters.

Now she had done it.

The next step was to be number one in the entire military, and eventually, number one in Great Xia.

"Reconnaissance Battalion!"

"Reconnaissance Battalion, first place!"

Someone below shouted loudly.

Other Comrades-in-arms from the Reconnaissance Battalion also shouted loudly.

Xiao Niannian looked at those adorable Comrades-in-arms and shouted too.

"Reconnaissance Battalion, first place!"

The sound was uniform and loud, and many Soldiers in the auditorium looked at the Reconnaissance Battalion personnel with great envy.

Xiao Niannian lowered her hand, and all the Comrades-in-arms from the Reconnaissance Battalion quieted down.

After Xiao Niannian and her Comrades-in-arms saluted, enthusiastic applause erupted again at the scene.

"Clap, clap, clap."

Xiao Niannian led her teammates off the stage, just about to return to the Reconnaissance Battalion formation.

"Comrade Xiao Niannian, please come up to the stage again."

Hearing the host's voice, Xiao Niannian turned around and quickly walked onto the stage.

"Today is not only the commendation meeting for the Division Headquarters competitions, but also the Officer Promotion Ceremony..."

Hearing the host's words, many Soldiers below were astonished.

Asking Comrade Xiao Niannian to stay, and it's the Officer Promotion Ceremony?

Could it be that Comrade Xiao Niannian is going to be promoted to officer?

This news was never heard before; why is she suddenly being promoted today?

That makes sense. I heard Comrade Xiao Niannian has performed meritorious service several times and even received a third-class merit.

"Comrade Xiao Niannian is going to be promoted to officer?"

"She is so outstanding, we are fully convinced by her promotion to officer."

"This is truly wonderful."
