I enlisted four times! My former unit blacklisted me.

The veteran slapped him on the shoulder: "Get lost, you brat!"

"Let me share some experience with you veterans." He took out two unopened sanitary napkins from his bag. "These are essential for soldiers, especially during long marches. You can put them under your feet. They're soft and absorbent. Change them when they get wet."

"If you feel chafing between your legs, put one on too," the veteran said with a wink.

The new recruit blushed instantly, embarrassed: "Brother Jun, you're just teasing me!"

"Brother Jun, you're not giving me one of these good things!"

"Give me two, I want to stick them on too."

"Are there any left? I'll have one too."

A group of new recruits reached into the old soldiers' bags.

"Damn it, save two for me, I need them myself!"

After everything was done, everyone quickly took the time to rest and replenish their energy.

Qian Kun and Sun Dawei, the two with the worst physical strength, also fell asleep.

In the distance, several veterans unloaded several boxes from a vehicle.

The soldiers, who had been walking all morning on an empty stomach, were already quite hungry.

Wu Hanfeng woke up Qian Kun and Sun Dawei.

"Wake up, it's time to eat."

The two men's eyes lit up when they heard they could eat something.

"Finally, I can eat something."

"You didn't eat anything this morning, so you'd better eat more at lunch."

"I don't even know what to eat today..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the box was opened.

"Each person gets three steamed buns, a chicken leg, an egg, and a packet of pickled vegetables. If you don't have enough steamed buns, there will be more."

Everyone: "..."

"No, we're just going to eat this?"

"Even if you don't have three dishes, you should at least cook us something hot, right?"

Qian Kun's stomach was growling with hunger: "Old Ma, I'm starting to doubt whether the barracks you mentioned even exist."

"Steamed buns are fine too, just eat whatever you have."

Sun Dawei had just picked up a steamed bun when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Deputy squad leader! Lunch break?!"

The group looked in the direction of the sound and saw two familiar figures carrying two large bags walking toward them.

It was Wang Erniu and Lin Xiao.

Wang Erniu glanced at their lunch, his brows immediately furrowing: "Is this all you're eating?"

"Luckily I came. I made some braised pork buns for you, and these are pan-fried chive and egg pancakes. Have a little something to eat with the braised beef for now. I'll cook you a proper meal after your training is over."

Lin Xiao also opened the bag, inside which were neatly arranged a lot of medicines, each with a small label indicating what symptoms they were treating.

"Brother Feng, this is medicine for mosquito bites, this is for abrasions, this is for heatstroke, this is for inflammation, and this is to refresh..."

The veterans from other platoons were filled with envy when they saw this.

"How come they get special treatment?"

"Damn it, this lousy steamed bun suddenly tastes bland."

"Wang Erniu's steamed buns are the best in our group!"

"I'm getting anemia from all the mosquito bites, why isn't anyone bringing me some medicine?"

Not only were the soldiers envious, but even the regimental commander and political commissar, who were inspecting the area from their car, were drooling when they saw what Wang Erniu had brought.

"That brat Wang Erniu, why don't we usually see him making such delicious steamed buns for us?"

"Was he deliberately trying to tempt us?"

Li Cuicui became increasingly hungry and craving as she looked at the food. He steeled himself and brazenly walked over.

"Erniu is here."

"Greetings, Commander." Everyone quickly stood up and saluted.

"Is this food for Wu Hanfeng?"

Wang Erniu chuckled and said, "I just made a little extra steamed buns, in case he doesn't like the food here. You know, the squad leader is a bit spoiled."

Wu Hanfeng took a bite of the big steamed bun. "Erniu, what do you mean by 'deputy squad leader'? I'm not being spoiled, I just have high standards for my life."

Wang Erniu was speechless.

Li Cuicui looked at the big steamed bun that had been bitten into and was sizzling with oil, the aroma wafting into her nose.

"I see you've made quite a lot. Is there any left? Let me try your cooking."

Before Wang Erniu could speak, Wu Hanfeng said, "Haven't you had enough of Erniu's cooking every day?"

Li Cuicui's face stiffened. "I wasn't talking to you."

"Tsk tsk!" Wu Hanfeng took a big bite of his steamed bun. "You, such a high-ranking leader, are asking soldiers for food? Aren't you ashamed?"

"Wu Hanfeng, even food can't shut you up!" Li Cuicui said through gritted teeth.

He then turned his pleading gaze to Wang Erniu.

As a result, Wang Erniu pretended to be an honest man when it came to the crucial moment, and all he knew was to laugh foolishly: "Hehe, the regimental commander is gone."

"How can there not be! I see there are still so many! You little bastard, you're showing favoritism, giving the new recruits special treatment right in front of the battalion commander! I think you want to get punished." Li Cuicui cursed angrily.

Wang Erniu packed his things, looking innocent: "I didn't get any punishment, I just prepared the squad leader's own."

Then Chong Linxiao gave each other a look, and the two of them exchanged a glance before taking off running.

"You little brat, don't let me ever see you again."

Wu Hanfeng, munching on a steamed bun and adding more filling, asked, "Old Company Commander, you're not eating in the mess hall anymore?"

"Hehe, did your sister-in-law suddenly become kind and prepare to bring you lunch?"

"Wu Hanfeng!" Li Cuicui roared, "Don't bring up things you don't want to talk about!"

Li Cuicui returned empty-handed.

Zhao Long had already eaten a steamed bun with pickled vegetables.

"Old Li, you've lost both your wife and your army. Knowing Wu Hanfeng couldn't give it to you, why did you still go and embarrass yourself?"

Li Cuicui glared at him: "That's not what you just said."

"I wonder who said that big steamed bun looks tempting."

Zhao Long was embarrassed. He took a bite of the chicken leg indignantly. "Alright, alright, let's not make fun of each other."

"Same to you."

Looking at the bland steamed buns and pickled vegetables in front of her, Li Cuicui exclaimed, "Ah, those steamed buns smell so good!"

Just then, two more figures that should have been there appeared.

When everyone saw the two white helmets suddenly appear, they reflexively began to tidy their appearance.

"Holy crap, these police officers are incredibly dedicated. They chased us for dozens of kilometers to catch us."

"Look, are there still crumbs of bread on my mouth?"

"Put your backpacks on quickly and stand at attention, or you'll get points deducted."

"They're still blaming us after all this! Is there no justice in this world?!"

"You're heartless! Help me up, you bastard! The blisters on my feet are so painful I can't stand up."

Seeing the chaotic group of people preparing to stand up, He Dong and Li Pengfei quickly said, "Don't panic, everyone. We're not here to inspect."

Everyone was completely stunned.

The group of soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.

The police officers, wearing white helmets and with serious expressions, said they weren't there to enforce discipline.

This is even stranger.

Surely they didn't go on a training exercise too?

However, since the entire regiment was training together this time, it seemed only natural that they should participate.

But if they don't question it, what are they doing here?
