Today, the recruits were assessed for a three-thousand-meter run, Niu Zhiyuan ran second, Xia Junhao was the third, and the first recruits were sports school students before enlisting in the army, and they already had a good physical foundation.

"Xia Junhao, how is it, take it!" Because the two of them ran down early, they could walk back and forth on the side, relax and move their bodies, and the squad leaders would not care about them at this time, taking advantage of this gap, Niu Zhiyuan said to Xia Junhao with a proud face.

"What are you proud of, you have the ability to surpass that guy and run the first place in the whole company." Xia Junhao glanced at Niu Zhiyuan angrily and said casually.

Niu Zhiyuan turned his head and glanced at a certain recruit in the third row who was pressing his legs not far away, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, and said: "If you exceed, you will exceed, and when the recruits go to the company for the last 3,000-meter assessment, I will definitely run first in the company." ”

Xia Junhao snorted coldly and said, "What's the use of just running fast for three thousand meters, don't forget, you will never be able to outrun me in a hundred meters." ”

"You're right, just one or two good grades don't mean anything, let's compare if you have the ability to see who has the best comprehensive score in the final assessment before the next company." Niu Zhiyuan has always been full of spirit.

"Light is better than no meaning, but also color." Xia Junhao rolled his eyes, looked at Niu Zhiyuan and said.

"What lottery? If it's a substitute for something like a small duty, forget it. Niu Zhiyuan said with a disdainful face.

Xia Junhao's face was a little red: "Of course it's not for Xiao Zuori, it's just me and Hou Jiangtao joking." ”

"Alright! So what do you say to bet on? Niu Zhiyuan lazily debunked Xia Junhao's habit of hating being a small duty.

"I haven't figured it out yet, so be it! Whoever loses will agree to a request within his ability, and this requirement will be limited to two years, and will expire when our two-year conscripts are discharged from the army. How, dare to bet? Xia Junhao thought for a while, and couldn't think of any good bets, gambling money and goods! Not to mention that it is not consistent with the discipline of the army, and the family situation of Niu Zhiyuan is not suitable, going out for a big meal, who knows when the two of them will be able to go out together.

"Okay, that's it."

After running three thousand meters and returning to the class, Hou Jiangtao learned about the bet between Niu Zhiyuan and Xia Junhao, so he shouted and made another bet with Xia Junhao on behalf of the mutual aid group, comparing the average results of the final assessment of the enlistment training of the two groups, but what is the bet of the two people, they have been hiding it from Niu Zhiyuan and Jin Jiagang, and it is very mysterious, no matter how the two of them ask, they will not reveal the slightest rumor.

……

……

When Huang Jianjun's smiling face reappeared, it was Jin Jiagang in the grenade. In the first trial throw of the projectile throwing training, it was directly thrown 79 meters, which shocked all the recruits and all the cadres and backbones of the new barracks.

"If this kid Jin Jiagang had come a year earlier, and last year's military training competition for the basic subjects of the military region, our regiment would have been able to win one more gold medal." This is the company commander Qin Haibo who ran over and personally looked at Jin Jiagang's grenade. After the bomb was thrown, Jin Jiagang, who looked at the smiling and couldn't close his mouth, said to Huang Jianjun, who showed a smiling face for the first time in half a month.

Hou Jiangtao didn't know about the Jin Jiagang grenade. Bomb throwing is not the first in the whole military region, but he knows that it must be the first in the new barracks, and the two of them are comparing the comprehensive average score, and the first in a subject can pull the total score up a bit, thinking about the bet he made with Xia Junhao, he gritted his teeth and put pressure on himself, plus Niu Zhiyuan took him with him whether it was normal training time or overtime training, and it was difficult to improve his training performance.

Niu Zhiyuan and Xia Junhao's training results were originally top-notch in the entire recruit company, this set a bet, and the training momentum has been improved, the two of you chase me, the training results of each course will "puff" upward, and soon surpass most of the recruits by a large margin, and the company commander, platoon commander or duty officer can be heard praising them in every training end evaluation.

Huang Jianjun saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, often taking the two as an example and comparison, reprimanding other recruits in the class, and a few lazy guys in the class complained about the two at the same time, he had to grit his teeth and catch up, and unconsciously, the training results of the third class as a whole walked in the forefront of the whole company and even the whole battalion.

……

……

After training in full swing for nearly a month, suddenly one afternoon when he came back from training, the company commander said: "Tomorrow is the New Year, suspend training and rest for a few days." ”

Niu Zhiyuan then remembered that this was the Spring Festival.

On the day of the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, both the veteran company and the new barracks must organize a small number of officers and men to go out shopping. The quota is assigned to a company and a row of recruits, and the platoon commander can go out with a recruit to do some New Year's goods for everyone. As a matter of fact, the food, drink, and supplies used for the New Year have already been procured by the secretaries of the various companies, but after all, it is the New Year, and the officers and men want to purchase some other things according to their own wishes.

Because Niu Zhiyuan ranked first in the overall score in the latest preliminary examination, this opportunity to go out fell on him in the form of a reward.

At this time, soldiers were not allowed to wear military uniforms unless they went out on official business, and in fact, when officers and soldiers went out, no one liked to wear military uniforms, and they became the object of attention of the common people, and it was awkward to do anything.

Niu Zhiyuan didn't bring civilian clothes when he came, but before he could speak, Xia Junhao generously went to the warehouse to find out his outfit, and still gave Niu Zhiyuan, the latter was naturally not polite, the two were about the same size, they fit well, and they were very fashionable in Zhao Shiguang's evaluation. Hou Jiangtao also wanted to contribute a set of clothes of a certain brand that he brought from home, but he was half a head smaller than Niu Zhiyuan, so he could only express regret.

When Niu Zhiyuan left, he had a small notebook in his pocket, on which he wrote the things that the whole platoon and each class wanted to buy, and wrote a page densely, and they only had three and a half hours to go out. So he and platoon commander Wang Yang have a heavy task today.

Wu City, where Group A is stationed, is a prefecture-level city where ethnic minorities gather, but the Han nationality still accounts for the vast majority, so the street has a strong New Year's flavor, and there are people rushing home and purchasing New Year's goods everywhere.

But Niu Zhiyuan didn't have time to experience the customs and atmosphere of Wu City. He and Wang Yang were like fish swimming in a sea of people, quickly and vigorously interspersed between various shops and stalls, and after a while, their bodies were full of large bags and small bags, and the whole pile was higher than themselves.

I don't know if Niu Zhiyuan's always straight figure and slightly stiff movements attract people, or because his famous brand and the big bags on his body are extremely incompatible, no matter where he goes, he can always attract a group of strange eyes, especially some of them with shiny eyes.
