Military: If you agree to experience life, you will become a general

Chapter 25 This time I went for the third-class meritorious service.
Seeing such a rich meal in front of me.

The recruits felt a great relief. They couldn't go back home anyway, so they might as well indulge their appetite and eat here.

In the army, the food on weekdays is also considered to be very good.

But after all, today is the Chinese New Year, and the food in the army is many times better than usual.

Lin Tao smiled and said: "Open your appetite and eat as much as you want!"

"Aren't you always clamoring for extra meals? Today, I will eat them hard. If the dishes are gone, I will continue to cook! Save your energy, and let's make dumplings and watch the Spring Festival Gala together in the evening!"

Liu Xiaoshan and the others cheered.

Seeing such a scene around him, Mai Xiaofei was full of nostalgia.

It's just that what Mai Xiaofei showed was a little too plain.

At this time, eating is not so strict. After all, it is the Chinese New Year. Chatting with each other can also liven up the atmosphere.

While stuffing meat into his mouth, Liu Xiaoshan asked, "Brother Fei, I see that your mood is quite stable today, don't you miss home?"

"And you seem to be familiar with this atmosphere."

Mai Xiaofei couldn't help smiling.

Liu Xiaoshan was pretty good at reading people, and he could actually see his true thoughts directly.

Mai Xiaofei was indeed homesick, but he didn't think of his home in this world.

Others called home, and the scene was so sad.

When Mai Xiaofei called home, it was just a normal chat between father and son, which sounded very ordinary and nothing special.

"What's the use of being homesick, you can't go back even if you think about it."

"The army can be regarded as our second home. There is nothing wrong with spending a year here. If there is no accident, you can only spend two years in the army."

"Besides, there is nothing wrong with celebrating the New Year in the army. There are family members at home and comrades in the army. It is also very lively to get together."

What Mai Xiaofei said was very ordinary, but every word came to Liu Xiaoshan's heart.

It's not that Lin Tao didn't say that, the reason why Lin Tao said that is because Lin Tao is the old squad leader.

For Mai Xiaofei to have such awareness and say such words, Liu Xiaoshan was deeply touched.

Also recruits.

But Liu Xiaoshan felt that the gap between him and Mai Xiaofei was too much.

There are many group activities on New Year's Day.

At the end of the day, everyone made Spring Festival couplets and lanterns again. They were so busy here and there that they didn't have a day to spare.

The atmosphere of the New Year in the army is much stronger than that outside.

The homesickness of the recruits has also been greatly comforted. At night, the recruits and veterans gather together to make dumplings and watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Although they were not at home this Spring Festival, it was a different feeling in the army.

The three-month period of new training is either long or short.

It seems that in the blink of an eye, it is time to say goodbye to each other and leave the company.

This past day is the recruit assessment.

Early in the morning, all the recruits assembled.

Xu Zhilong glanced at each recruit with his hands behind his back.

"Tomorrow is the new training assessment. Don't think about cramming on the last day. How you train on weekdays will be how you will be during the assessment."

"We won't be training today. Let me have a good rest and adjust my condition! Don't embarrass me tomorrow!"

heard.

Recruits, you look at me, I look at you, with confused faces.

What kind of crazy is the company commander today? There is an exam tomorrow, and today is a holiday?

Seeing that the recruits were silent, Xu Zhilong said with a straight face, "Why, don't you want to take a vacation! If you don't want to take a vacation, just run five kilometers for me now!"

After the words fell, the recruits shook their heads again and again.

"I want to take a vacation!"

Until they returned to the dormitory, everyone was still feeling a little uneasy.

During the three months of their new training, there was nothing but training. They were still a little unaccustomed to the sudden holiday.

Seeing everyone's appearance, Lin Tao joked, "If you feel uncomfortable without training, I'll take you out for a three-kilometer warm-up?"

Liu Xiaoshan and the others shook their heads.

Of course, only Mai Xiaofei didn't shake his head.

"Give you a holiday, in fact, I want you to relax and adjust your state."

"You have been training for such a long time, and your strength has basically been fixed here. It does not mean that you have no room for improvement in the future. On the contrary, you have a lot of room for improvement. But tomorrow is the company assessment. In this day, you will No matter how much you improve, it won’t improve very high.”

"If you train too hard, it may have a counterproductive effect tomorrow."

"Today and this day of vacation, give me a good adjustment and adjustment, and tomorrow I will face the assessment at the peak level. If you really can't sit still and want to train, don't train too hard."

"Yes."

Liu Xiaoshan and the others responded in unison.

Instead of going back to the dormitory with Liu Xiaoshan and the others, Mai Xiaofei turned around and walked directly to the training ground for training.

After living two lifetimes, two lifetimes as a soldier, training has become a habit of Mai Xiaofei.

Seeing that Mai Xiaofei went to practice first, Lin Tao didn't say anything to let Liu Xiaoshan and the others go to practice too. As long as they still have some competitive spirit in their hearts, they probably have to run out of the dormitory soon.

Go back to dorms.

Liu Xiaoshan and the others fell directly on the bed, wanting to have a good night's sleep. Since the new training, they have never had a good night's sleep.

But when they just closed their eyes, the image of Mai Xiaofei training outside appeared in their minds.

No matter how much he wants to sleep, there is still a shadow of Mai Xiaofei's continuous training in his heart.

People with such talent and strength like Mai Xiaofei have all gone out to train, but those who are not so strong are still slacking off in the dormitory.

The more they thought about it, the more they couldn't bear it.

The recruits of the eighth squad were forced to lie on the bed for nearly an hour. In the end, they couldn't lie down anymore, and they got up and ran outside.

In the dormitory, Lin Tao and the class deputy looked at each other and smiled.

"If Mai Xiaofei hadn't been here, I guess these new recruits wouldn't be as strong as they are now."

The class deputy nodded and said: "The words that can be passed down to this day have their meanings. Those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black."

The two of them were filled with sighs.

Sometimes, there is a strong person in the class, which will really stimulate the competitiveness of others, so that they will work harder and continue to become stronger.

The next day was the day of the recruit assessment.

Mai Xiaofei got up earlier than before. While the others were still asleep, Mai Xiaofei had already run countless laps on the training ground.

When Liu Xiaoshan and the others woke up and saw that Mai Xiaofei was not there, they couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Fei is going for third-class merit this time."
