I enlisted four times! My former unit blacklisted me.

Wu Hanfeng said, "If you think you are, it means you haven't experienced the harsh realities of society, or that the people you know haven't had much experience in society."

"There are many people in society who can't even be considered normal."

"They avoid problems and shift blame when things go wrong. They talk a good game, but it's all empty promises."

"They break down under the slightest pressure, can't stand the slightest grievance, and only complain about everything and everyone else. But they never blame themselves."

The new recruits fell silent for a moment, deep in thought.

Wu Hanfeng sighed, "You're still young. Perhaps after you've served in the military for a few years, taken off your uniforms, and returned to civilian life, you'll truly understand how difficult it is to be reliable, responsible, keep your word, and persevere even when you feel overwhelmed!"

"The military can't teach you many skills. In fact, the shooting, fighting, and combat skills you learn in the military will be worthless in society."

"But the military can teach you how to be a person! That's the most valuable lesson you learn in the military!"

The new recruits were still completely confused, clearly unable to grasp the deeper meaning behind Wu Hanfeng's words.

Wu Hanfeng said, "Alright, I know it's hard for you to understand, and I don't expect you to understand."

"Otherwise, if you suddenly understand everything, you will suffer even more in the next two years."

Qian Kun asked, "Brother Feng, what about training? Is there anything we should pay attention to?"

Wu Hanfeng said, "There's nothing to pay attention to. Just practice however the class monitor tells you to."

"No matter how well you practice, you have to give it your all. Don't think the class monitor won't notice if you're slacking off."

"In the military, those with good military skills are treated like royalty. They can play, eat, and drink as they please."

"If things aren't going well, well... on my days off, I'll have to do chores, clean toilets, help in the kitchen, weed the vegetable garden, and clean the pigsty. I can't miss a single one of them."

"After finishing, we need to come back and continue with extra training."

The recruits stared wide-eyed. "So ruthless?"

"Ruthless?" Wu Hanfeng sneered, "If you think this is ruthless, then you are underestimating the military."

"Forget it, I won't say any more about this, lest you break down before your military career even begins."

Just then, a new recruit, all smiles and full of enthusiasm, asked, "Brother Feng, I heard from a veteran from our village that on the first day of training, the squad leader always prepares water for the new recruits to wash their feet. Is that true?"

Wu Hanfeng nodded, "It's true, there is such a tradition."

The new recruit said, "Shall I try it later?"

The other recruits nodded, their eyes shining: "Let's give it a try!"

Wu Hanfeng looked at the group of kids and almost burst out laughing.

Go on!

Try it and you'll die!

Zhou Haibo returned soon.

When he saw a group of new recruits surrounding Wu Hanfeng, he immediately became nervous.

What are you doing?

Qian Kun said, "Brother Feng is telling us what the troops need to pay attention to."

Zhou Haibo had a bad feeling.

Didn't I tell this guy not to mention that he enlisted in the army four times?

How did I get exposed as soon as I turned around?

Wu Hanfeng knew Zhou Haibo had misunderstood, so he grinned and said, "I just looked up the information online and briefly explained it to them."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Haibo finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But then, a new recruit suddenly clutched his foot and said, "Squad leader, my foot hurts a little."

Zhou Haibo frowned slightly. "What happened? Did you sprain your ankle?"

The recruit glanced at the other recruits, then hesitated cautiously and said, "No...no. I'm probably just tired from walking so much on my way home."

"Um... class monitor, could you get me some water to wash my feet?"

Zhou Haibo: "???"
