Chapter 266 The Eve of Retirement

Chen Ting is actually a more stubborn person than anyone else.

No matter what others say, they cannot change or shake one's mind once he has made up his mind.

In other words, he is also a very proud person. Now that he is unable to work due to his physical condition, it would be a shame for him if he stayed here because of connections.

He felt that he had already spent most of his military career in this sentence, and it was impossible to change the period into a comma.

The other veterans in the class also understood Chen Ting, so they stopped trying to persuade him and instead started eating and drinking.

Ji Baichang ordered a lot of takeout, which was more than enough for a whole queue of people.

Now there were ten of them in total, which was more than enough. By the end, everyone had a full stomach and a heavy head, but Lu Qinglong still carried them all back to their beds in the classroom one by one.

Lu Qinglong absorbs and metabolizes alcohol very quickly. If it weren't for the high-concentration liquor that he drank bottle after bottle, Lu Qinglong would basically not get drunk.

"Don't touch me, I want more to drink!"

"I'm going to drink more after finally having a drink!"

Ji Baichang was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud. When Lu Qinglong reached out to grab Ji Baichang, Ji Baichang was still shouting.

"What the hell are you drinking? You're the worst person in the room. You're the first one to get drunk. If you can't drink, drink less. Why are you working so hard?"

Lu Qinglong looked at Ji Baichang, shook his head helplessly, picked him up under his armpit with one hand, and led him to the dormitory.

Then he was the only one who was not drunk. He took a series of brooms, mops, garbage bags, etc. and cleaned up all the remaining debris in the club.

All the wine was drunk, and the grilled skewers and other main dishes were also all eaten by Lu Qinglong, so probably nothing was wasted.

After eating the meals of the kitchen staff in Lebanon for so many days, not only Ji Baichang was disgusted with it, but even Lu Qinglong was a little tired of it.

It is quite enjoyable to eat the dishes cooked by fellow villagers, so Lu Qinglong did not waste any of them.

"Alas, although squad leader Chen Ting is about to retire, everyone shouldn't drink so hard."

Lu Qinglong sighed, sent the last veteran who struggled out of the toilet to the dormitory, and lay back on his bed.

Because Chen Ting was about to be discharged from the army, everyone in the class drank too much and got drunk.

The following four boxes of beer were not enough, so Ji Baichang ordered four more boxes. Everyone was really drunk.

Lu Qinglong knew that these veterans were reluctant to see Chen Ting go, and he himself was also reluctant to see Chen Ting go. After all, Chen Ting was the guide who had been with him since he first joined the army.

It can be said that no matter what happens, he can find Chen Ting first, and Chen Ting will give corresponding solutions.

Now, he, Xue Daochao and Ji Baichang are going to the military academy to study soon, and he is quite reluctant to let them go.

After all, the three of them have already regarded the Special Operations Brigade as their home.

There is a kind of feeling of reluctance for a wanderer who has left his hometown.

But there is nothing they can do about it, they always have to face separation, which also proves the old saying:

People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is full of gloom.

Even the moon in the sky cannot be full every day, let alone the people on earth. Separation is the norm, and they can only adapt to it and accept it.

Listening to the even breathing sounds of everyone in the class, everyone had already fallen asleep. Lu Qinglong then closed his eyes and fell asleep soon after.

They didn't have to do morning exercises the next morning. Ji Baichang woke up with his hands covering his head and grimacing in pain.

"Ouch, I'm blanched! Why is there such a big bump on my head?"

Ji Baichang struggled to crawl to the bathroom, looked at the big bump on his forehead in the mirror, and was so angry that his whole body couldn't stop shaking.

Especially since he drank too much last night, now besides his head hurting like it was about to split due to hangover, his body also hurts outside!

Under this double blow, he was a little overwhelmed and had completely forgotten what happened yesterday. He only remembered that he seemed to have drunk quite a lot of beer.

"Have you forgotten? If I hadn't held you back yesterday, you would have insisted on jumping off the third floor to show off the off-camera moves you learned."

Lu Qinglong just walked into the bathroom, listened to Ji Baichang's words, and began to explain.

"Oh no!"

"Then how did I get this big bump on my head?"

Ji Baichang asked Lu Qinglong, the only one awake last night, with an incredulous look on his face.

"You dropped this."

"You drank too much last night, and then you hugged the heavy pillar on the second floor of the company and insisted on knocking on him."

"You ended up hitting your head hard against a heavy wall, and then you passed out."

"If you can't drink, then don't drink next time. Don't drink like a little bitch. If you drink too much, you will get drunk and crazy. My opinion of you is a bit low."

Lu Qinglong shook his head and started brushing his teeth and washing his face.

Ji Baichang was stunned. Looking at himself in the mirror, the scenes that Lu Qinglong had just described emerged in his mind.

"No way! Why would I kowtow while holding a heavy pillar? This must be a mistake!"

“I can drink a lot!”

Ji Bai was muttering to himself in his long mouth. After Lu Qinglong finished washing up, he returned to Class 1.

They didn't have much to do in the morning, basically because they just came back from Lebanon last night. What they might have to do today was just a simple inventory of the supplies they brought there and the supplies they brought back.

After making sure there are no problems, put the goods into storage, and then there is nothing else to do.

Last night, I heard from Company Commander Chen Tianjian that regarding the main force of the army, they would have to wait until tomorrow to return to the brigade.

So during the remaining time, they need to stay in the company honestly and pack up the supplies they brought back.

On the eve of the demobilization season every year, some high-intensity training has been stopped. At the same time, as for target shooting, even those who are about to be discharged from the army will not be allowed to do it, so as to avoid any trouble.

It can be said that the management is very lax. For example, after their class simply counted the supplies they brought back, the others returned to their classes and started playing with their phones.

But after all, it was class time, so they were all hiding. Although there were no patrols in the special operations brigade, if they met any officers on the way and they mentioned something, their lives at the grassroots level would not be very comfortable.

Of course, as they were about to be discharged from the army, these officials did not dare to be too arrogant.

The soldiers of their special operations brigade were well-known throughout the army for their laxity. In addition, as they were about to retire, some soldiers didn't want to do it anymore. They didn't mind helping their brothers who had not yet retired to teach these short-sighted people a lesson before they retired.

It was a good thing that their special operations brigade did not have patrols, otherwise, like the other brigades, they would have to leave early during the daily retirement season, otherwise they would have been blocked at the station by these veterans and beaten up.

"Monitor, are you sorting out everything?"

Ji Baichang, who was originally playing this game, saw Chen Ting taking out several dusty bags that he had placed in the bag storage. He suddenly stopped playing with his mobile phone and planned to help Chen Ting.

"No need to help. I don't have much left. I sent most of my stuff back."

"These camouflage bags were left to me by my former comrades-in-arms when they retired. I didn't expect that today would be my turn as I am about to retire."

"Time flies."

Chen Ting sighed and began to turn out all the luggage inside, taking them out one by one to sort them out. Those who were about to retire needed to exchange some of the clothes that the army had given them at the beginning, and at the same time, they had to return their military ranks to the quartermaster, also known as handing over the old ones.

Of course, with Chen Ting's face, he only needed to say a word and the quartermaster would directly tick the items that needed to be handed in.

But Chen Ting would not do that. He sorted out the things he needed to hand in and put them all into a bag.

Then sort out the other cysts.

"Wow, wow, wow! Monitor! I can't bear to leave you, monitor!"

"Or you can take me with you!"

Ji Baichang grabbed the bag that Chen Ting had sorted out and refused to let go, saying some incomprehensible words.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"You don't want to go out, do you? When the main force comes back tomorrow, it happens to be the weekend, so go to the team headquarters and find a clerk to write a note for leave."

Chen Ting waved his hand and immediately understood Ji Baichang's thoughts.

"Ah? How did you know that, squad leader?"

Ji Bai scratched his head and said.

Many of the things he had bought for his female soldier girlfriend had arrived. It just so happened that the hospital where she was training was about two hours' drive away from them.

Now that he has returned from Lebanon, Ji Baichang wants to go and see her first.

After all, during the peacekeeping period, they were in a cold war and had quite serious quarrels.

Ji Baichang was thinking about compensating the other party.

"I don't know you anymore?"

"Are any of you other three recruits planning to go out?"

"While you are still in the brigade and close to the city, go out and have fun more. When your military service gets longer, you may not want to go out anymore."

Chen Ting looked at Lu Qinglong and the other two and asked.

Lu Qinglong shook his head. He didn't want to go out, mainly because he felt there was nothing particularly fun to do outside.

Li Wa also shook his head. His current life was quite fulfilling and he did not envy the life outside.

"Squad leader, I'll go out with Ji Baichang tomorrow."

Xue Daochao, who was a man of few words, spoke somewhat abruptly.

"Hmm? You want to go out? That's fine."

"Xue Daochao, I am very relieved about your words. Just pay attention to your personal safety when you go out and don't cause any trouble."

Chen Ting was a little surprised, but still nodded in agreement.

"I'm Lao Xue! What are you going to do tomorrow? Are you going to wash your feet too?"

"Then I'll show you the way tomorrow. The massage parlor that Lu Qinglong and I went to last time, the technician there was really pretty. You should try it out!"

Ji Baichang came close to Xue Daochao and gave him a slightly obscene smirk.

"Don't do it, I have something important to do."

"Business? What are you up to? Could it be that something ominous has emerged in this city and needs you, Master Xue, to deal with it?"

When Ji Baichang heard that Xue Daochao had something important to do, he became curious all of a sudden.

"What nonsense! My cousin happened to be here yesterday, and I plan to have dinner with him tomorrow and chat or something."

"You should stop reading novels. If something ominous really emerges in the city, it won't be my turn."

Xue Daochao was speechless about Ji Baichang's performance.

"Wow! Cousin! Are you also from your fortune-telling village?"

"Sure! Can I come along? I'll ask your cousin to tell my fortune for me!"

When Ji Baichang heard Xue Daochao's explanation, he suddenly became excited.

"Whatever. Aren't you going to see your girlfriend? Do you have time to have dinner with us?"

"Yes! Of course! At worst I can go see her in the afternoon. I'll have dinner with you guys in the morning!"

"Okay! It's settled then. I'll arrange where to eat tomorrow!"

Ji Bai excitedly took out his cell phone and started looking for any time-honored stores nearby.

Some Internet celebrity restaurants were directly blocked. Apart from their beautiful exterior decoration, the dishes cooked in these Internet celebrity restaurants were not very tasty.

Soon Ji Baichang found an old store that looked very good, contacted the driver from a while ago, and quickly arranged everything for tomorrow's outing.

He also went to the team headquarters and after writing his own leave note, he also helped Xue Daochao write one.

"Old Xue! Tell me, who is better, you or your cousin?"

While Ji Baichang was putting the gift he was going to bring to his girlfriend tomorrow into his bag, he asked Xue Daochao who was standing beside him.

“I’m awesome.”

Xue Daochao responded casually.

"What the hell? Are you kidding? How old is your cousin?"

"Isn't it usually the case that whoever has more experience has greater ability? Why do you think it's the other way around? You must be fooling me, right?"

When Ji Baichang heard this, he immediately became unhappy.

After all the trouble, it turned out that Xue Daochao's cousin was not as powerful as Xue Daochao, so it was a complete mess.

Originally, he just wanted to see if he could get away from his female soldier partner, but if that was the case, he might as well just ask Xue Daochao directly.

"You really have read too many novels."

"In our industry, it mainly depends on talent."

"The master can only lead you to the door, but the practice depends on yourself. Although my cousin has good talent, he is still a little bit lacking after all."

"That's boring! Then why did you join the army? You might as well just go around and tell fortunes."

"I can't tell you this, so will you still have dinner with me tomorrow?"

Xue Daochao waved his hand.

"Eat! Why not eat! Let me see what kind of people are there in your village."
