Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

"Shi Jin, about the pilot program I mentioned to you last time, have you added all the data and information?" Half of the recruit training has passed, and this matter concerns Shi Jin's future, so Zhang Anbang is naturally very concerned.

Gao Cheng chimed in, "Yes, yes, Shi Jin, this is very important. I think Xiao Qi's idea is great. There's an 80-90% chance he'll keep you here. You should take it seriously."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jin's smile immediately faded. Writing was indeed more difficult than training. "Company Commander, Deputy Company Commander, I will definitely do my best to complete this task you have assigned me."

The report is written, and all the data and information have been added, but I feel it's a bit lacking. I'd appreciate it if the two leaders could give me some feedback.

"Do you even need to tell me? After dinner, bring it over, and Xiaoqi and I will help you figure it out." Gao Cheng has been very interested in this method ever since he heard about it.

……

During the new recruits' class meeting that evening, the recruits in the fifth squad looked at the newspaper in Shi Jin's hand behind Wu Liuyi and immediately felt their arms ache.

"No way, not again."

"My goodness, although the meat buns for breakfast are delicious, I really don't want to do newspaper push-ups anymore. The price to get two meat buns from the deputy platoon leader is just too high."

"I'm afraid of newspapers now."

"The deputy platoon leader did a terrible job."

Hearing the new recruits whispering among themselves, Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi couldn't help but chuckle.

"Alright, comrades, quiet down, quiet down. This newspaper isn't for you to do push-ups, it's for our meeting, it has other uses." Shi Jin quickly reassured the new recruits whose faces had changed.

Sure enough, the recruits breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Fortunately, as long as they weren't doing push-ups on newspapers, they didn't care about anything else, even if they were asked to copy something.

The newspaper push-ups and the two emergency tear gas mobilizations in the middle of the night are memories they will never forget.

"June 1st, let's begin." As the new recruit platoon leader, Shi Jin would spend some time in each dormitory; it was his job.

"Yes, comrades, let's begin today's class meeting. First of all, our class performed very well overall today. Whether it was in terms of formation or physical fitness, we made great progress. This deserves praise. Let's all give ourselves a round of applause."

Wu Liuyi is a straightforward person, and he won't hesitate to praise any new recruits in his class who make progress.

The ten new recruits in the fifth platoon were quite happy to hear this. Although there was no substantial reward, the praise was still very nice. No one dislikes praise.

Wu Liuyi waved his hand, and the applause from the new recruits immediately stopped.

"First of all, we must commend our outstanding comrade, Cheng Cai. As one of the best in our class and even the entire recruit company, he has done very well in all aspects. Everyone should learn from Cheng Cai. Comrade Cheng Cai can also help his comrades when he has time in private."

"Yes, squad leader. As the deputy squad leader, I have a duty to help my comrades improve. If anyone has any questions in the future, you can come to me anytime if you don't have time."

Cheng Cai stood up and made a passionate promise.

Zhang Anbang, who was passing by, also heard this conversation. He had to admit that this was quite a talent; he immediately emphasized his status as the deputy squad leader.

"Hmm, not bad. Then there are some comrades who need to pay special attention. Whether it's in formation, various projects, or housekeeping, there are a few comrades who are still quite far from being excellent."

All the events were only barely passable. This is something I need to pay attention to in the future. I can't just finish training with the team and call it a day; I need to work harder on my own, practice more, and reach an excellent level as soon as possible.

When Wu Liuyi spoke, he stared intently at Xu Sanduo until Shi Jin coughed softly, at which point he looked away.

"Chengcai, as the vice class monitor, you have performed excellently in all aspects. In the future, please take more care of Xu Sanduo and help him make progress together. We are in the same class, so we should help each other and not let anyone fall behind."

Wu Liuyi patiently gave his instructions. In order to help the squad leader make it possible to stay in the team, Wu Liuyi had been holding back for a long time.

Given Wu Liuyi's personality, when teaching marching, he would never squat down to help Xu Sanduo break his arms and legs like Shi Jin did, nor would he speak softly and gently to explain the key points.

If Wu Liuyi were to teach, for example, Xu Sanduo would be walking in unison with his feet turned out the same way.

Wu Liuyi must have kicked Xu Sanduo in the open space next to him to scare him. His loud voice could be heard by the whole platoon, "Xu Sanduo! Are your arms and legs separated or filled with lead?"

"Walk in the same direction! Walk in the same direction! Eyes forward! Step according to the commands! Do it one more time, and you get extra practice until lights out!"

When teaching the formation arm swing, he would absolutely shout, "Arm swing is not like swinging a hoe! Bend your elbows to ninety degrees! Follow me!" Then, in front of the whole class, he would demonstrate again and again, his movements so precise it was as if they had been measured with a ruler, forcing Xu Sanduo to stare and follow along.

Xu Sanduo's stamina couldn't keep up, and Wu Liuyi certainly wouldn't run slowly with him. He would definitely drag him to the front of the group and say, "You hold on! Can't run anymore? Then do fifty push-ups!"

Finish what you've done and keep running! Do you think the army is your personal garden? You can rest whenever you want?

Wu Liuyi isn't a bad person; he's just too pure, a pure soldier, a man of steel. He's not good at the gentle, persuasive teaching style of Shi Jin.

If Xu Sanduo really gets into trouble during training, Wu Liuyi won't really abandon him. For example, when Xu Sanduo is so tired from running that he's about to collapse, Shi Jin will pull him up and comfort and encourage him.

If it were Wu Liu, he would most likely throw a bottle of water at Xu Sanduo, say, "You're really useless. Take a five-minute break and catch up with the main group." Then he would adjust his pace and hold the line while waiting for Xu Sanduo.

Hearing Wu Liuyi's instructions, Cheng Cai immediately stood up and said, "Yes, squad leader, I will definitely try to help Comrade Xu Sanduo more in the future."

Xu Sanduo looked at Cheng Cai with gratitude. Cheng Cai was indeed a great person. "Thank you, squad leader, thank you Cheng Cai. I will definitely work hard."

"Hmm, not bad, that's good. Also, we still need to pay more attention to the housekeeping of our class. Housekeeping is the face of the army and also a place to temper one's character."

The housekeeping training we do in basic training isn't just for show; it's to cultivate meticulous and rigorous habits that you'll maintain even in your senior units. When tidying your quarters each day, check carefully and don't be careless.

"Yes, sir." The recruits listened to the daily reminders about housekeeping, and while they verbally agreed, they felt a burning pain in their fingertips again.

Wu Liuyi's rough, loud voice rang out again, "It's been a month and a half since you enlisted. Has anyone missed home? Or is anyone having trouble adjusting to the training intensity? Feel free to talk about it, don't keep it bottled up inside."

The new recruits in the fifth platoon remained silent. At this age, eighteen was considered quite mature. In many rural areas, it was common for people to get married at eighteen. Although they didn't have a marriage certificate and thus weren't legally recognized, holding a banquet and wedding ceremony was considered a marriage in the countryside.

Xu Sanduo twitched his hand slightly, then immediately put it down again. The movement was very subtle, but it did not escape Wu Liuyi's eyes.

"Xu Sanduo, is there something you want to say? Speak up!" Wu Liuyi looked down on Xu Sanduo's attitude.

"Reporting, squad leader, I... I want to write a letter home, talk to my dad, and pass on a message to my brother..."

Xu Sanduo's mental state is much better now than when he first entered the recruit company, but as soon as Wu Liuyi speaks loudly, he subconsciously backs down.

"Yes, it's normal to miss home. You can write letters, of course. According to the rules, Sunday night is the time to write letters. I'll get you some stationery and stamps then."

But remember, when you write, you can only say that your training is going well and that life is good. You must not say that the training is tough or that you are not adapting well, so as not to worry your family. And you must not mention any classified information, understand?

Xu Sanduo nodded. "Yes, squad leader, I understand. I'll only say that I've improved, and I won't say anything else."

The other recruits in the fifth squad secretly resolved to keep a close eye on Xu Sanduo when he wrote the letter, making sure that no classified information appeared, as they never wanted to copy the confidentiality regulations again.
