The strongest production soldier, awarded first-class merit for feeding pigs.

"Thank you, class monitor."

Chen Jun immediately stood up to express his gratitude and reached out with both hands to take the cup.

He also took the opportunity to observe his "new leader".

He was about 1.67 meters tall, very thin, but his hands were very thick and his arms were very strong, a bit like Popeye.

It clashes greatly with the overall image.

He walks with a slight limp in his left leg. Although it's not noticeable unless you look closely, it's quite rare in the military.

"It seems he really is disabled. However, even though he is disabled, the army did not let him retire. They arranged for him to retire in a local area and gave him this special treatment."

Either he has an extremely powerful background, or he was incredibly skilled before his injury, a legendary elite soldier who made significant contributions to the military.

Chen Jun was curious about the background of the veteran in front of him. What kind of person was he to receive such an honor?

Unfortunately, it's inconvenient to ask, so I can only keep it to myself for now.

I'll find out more when I have the chance.

"You new recruit, you're too honest. You drink every toast offered to you. You don't know how to cheat or be sly. If you keep drinking like that, no one can keep up. In the end, you'll be the one who suffers. You'd better learn your lesson in the future."

The second-class sergeant handed the cup to Chen Jun and patted him on the shoulder, gesturing for him to sit down.

He sat down on the bed opposite him and said, "I am Liu Dazhi, the foreman of the production team. Since you have decided to come here, then you can work here with peace of mind."

I don't have many requirements. Just do what I say, cultivate the land well, and raise the chickens, ducks, and pigs outside. I won't worry about anything else.

You can tell from Liu Dazhi's appearance that it is indeed as he said.

He has large earlobes, round and gentle facial features, and deep smile lines at the corners of his eyes, proving that he smiles often and gives people a friendly feeling.

Chen Jun, who was a little nervous when he first arrived, felt warm inside and his nervousness completely relaxed as he listened to Liu Dazhi's simple and unpretentious introduction and drank the ginger tea that he had personally brewed.

"It seems that life in the production team will be more comfortable from now on," Chen Jun thought to himself.

Chen Jun was most annoyed by those fierce veterans, like Wang Hu from the sixth squad, who always acted arrogantly and thought he was so great. He was always finding fault with the new recruits and would drag them into "special training" at the drop of a hat.

Corporal punishment is prohibited.

Switching to "special training" can avoid this.

On the very first night after the new recruits joined their unit, he used the excuse of disciplining them to deliberately find fault and make two of them squat on small stools for two hours, euphemistically calling it "squatting posture training."

The two new recruits were walking with trembling hands on the second day; he had really messed them up.

Everyone in the company knew Wang Hu's nature; he loved to bully new recruits, not just those in his own platoon, but also those in other platoons.

The company commander and political instructor were actually aware of Wang Hu's poor behavior in the company.

However, because Wang Hu had won first place in the regiment's competition, he was unmatched in the entire company in weighted running, making him a rare talent.

In addition, although many new recruits complained bitterly about being mistreated, Wang Hu basically did not use violence to beat them and did not cross the line of leading troops.

So even though the company officers knew, they had always turned a blind eye.

After all, everyone has their own thoughts.

The honor of the company still depends on the veterans to fight for it.

Perhaps Chen Jun had been too prominent yesterday, becoming the darling of both veterans and new recruits in the company, which aroused the dissatisfaction of this "new recruit executioner".

Wang Hu was the only veteran in the entire company who had ill intentions when offering a toast last night.

The other veterans would normally offer a glass of beer, but this guy specially got two glasses of baijiu (Chinese liquor). Using his position as squad leader, he forced Chen Jun to drink the baijiu he brought, saying that refusing to drink it would be disrespectful to him as the squad leader of the sixth squad.

Chen Jun immediately sensed something was wrong; this behavior didn't seem like that of a good person.

However, the atmosphere had already heated up, and Chen Jun was just a new recruit, so it was not good to embarrass him. He could only bite the bullet and drink it down.

It was because they drank both baijiu (Chinese liquor) and beer that it became a mixed drink.

Chen Jun got so drunk last night that he blacked out.

Compared to the cunning and manipulative Sixth Squad Leader who enjoys tormenting new recruits, and then to the kind-faced Production Squad Leader sitting in front of him, he's practically a living Buddha. It's hard not to like him.

"It seems that my decision to come to the production team was the best one. Since the team leader is so good, I have to perform well and try to get things on track as soon as possible."

If Squad Leader Liu is cooperative in my work in the future, it wouldn't be a bad idea to give him a hand in guiding Xiao Fei.

Chen Jun smiled to himself, gulped down the ginger tea, stood up and volunteered, "Squad leader, I'm almost done. Please assign me some work."

After twelve years of military service, the job assignments upon returning home are tiered and not all are treated equally.

The rules are based on quantitative scoring and job selection. Points can be earned for positions held in the military, personal commendations, merit awards, etc.

The higher an individual's score, the better the job they will be assigned.

If Chen Jun can help Liu Dazhi get a third-class merit, he can get ten points back. With that ten-point difference, he could even change the rest of his life.

"Chen Jun, the work in the production team is not only tiring but also very dirty. Every day you have to be surrounded by chicken droppings, duck droppings, and pig droppings. You also have to clean the pigsty and chicken coop. Are you sure you can really do it?" Liu Dazhi asked seriously.

Chen Jun, the renowned recruit of 800 million, was a household name even among Liu Dazhi's production team.

Since receiving the company commander's order yesterday, he has been doubting whether a pampered soldier from a wealthy family can really endure the environment of the production team.

Farming requires carrying manure, feeding pigs requires cleaning the pigpen, and feeding chickens and ducks leaves droppings everywhere...

These jobs are very dirty!

"Squad leader, please believe me. Since I've decided to come here, I'm fully prepared. No matter how dirty or tiring the work is, I won't back down."

Chen Jun spoke like a model student giving a report, his delivery was full of cadence and passion.

This is also the truth from Chen Jun.

In order to draw more treasure chests, no difficulty is insurmountable. Chen Jun doesn't think it's a problem to sweep pigsties or even sleep in them.

"You make it sound nice, but I hope you can keep your word. If you can't, don't blame me for asking the company commander to transfer you back."

The production team isn't a great place, but it's not a place for just anyone.

Liu Dazhi gave Chen Jun special instructions and warnings, then smiled and got up to leave, saying as he walked, "You've just arrived, you definitely don't know how to do the work in the production team, feeding pigs and chickens, you young master have definitely never done that before."

In this way, for the first few days, we mainly just watched and kept track of what we were doing. Once we had seen enough, we would then try it ourselves.

"Zhang Lianwen, your deputy squad leader, is cleaning the pigsty right now. It's a job we have to do every day. I'll take you there to learn."

Liu Dazhi, as expected of a veteran squad leader, made very thoughtful arrangements, taking into full account Chen Jun's "spoiled soldier" nature.
