47: There absolutely cannot be any problems.

"Attention, stand at ease."

"Left turn."

"Quick march."

After another long period of training, everyone finally heard Company Commander Hong call for a break.

"Thirty-minute break."

Upon hearing of the thirty-minute break, several people let out a sigh of relief.

"Finally, we can rest."

Qian Si and Zheng Wu, along with a few others, looked at Xiao Niannian and walked towards her.

"Niannian, are your elders Soldiers? Your military posture is more standard than ours."

"That's right, we were worried you couldn't keep up earlier."

"I originally thought you'd fall behind in the five-kilometer run, but I didn't expect you to actually persevere."

The girls from dorms four, five, six, seven, and eight were all very friendly towards Xiao Niannian, and Xiao Niannian was also very kind towards them.

"I have elders in my family who are Soldiers."

Hearing this, Hu Ping sneered.

"Elders who are Soldiers? What positions? Tell us, don't hide it, otherwise, you're just bragging and lying."

Yang Fang immediately echoed.

"Exactly, exactly. If it's 'elders,' then it's not just parents and Grandparents who are Soldiers. Our Pingping's Grandfather and father are both Soldiers, which is something some people's elders can't compare to."

Zhu Dan and He Juan also agreed.

Xiao Niannian couldn't be bothered to argue with these people. What was the point of comparing statuses? It was like children squabbling.

Seeing Xiao Niannian remain silent, Hu Ping and the others thought she had been exposed, which was why she wasn't speaking.

"See, I told you she was bragging. Now she's not saying anything."

"If you hadn't been walking around the dorm all day, tidying things up, we wouldn't have been late. Apologize to us."

Yang Fang walked up to Xiao Niannian, her head held high, and said arrogantly.

"You must have water in your brain."

Xiao Niannian's words made Yang Fang pause. This Xiao Niannian actually dared to curse her?

"You actually dare to curse me!" Yang Fang glared at Xiao Niannian, furious.

Xiao Niannian narrowed her eyes, simply looking at Yang Fang.

Yang Fang usually followed behind Hu Ping, acting as her minion. She always thought Hu Ping was a child of a high-ranking official, with a father who was a Regiment Commander, and thus very powerful. Her own family was also from a big city, with parents who were factory cadres, so naturally, she looked down on someone from the countryside like Xiao Niannian.

"Xiao Niannian, how can you curse a Comrade-in-arms?" Hu Ping frowned, looking at Xiao Niannian.

When Xiao Niannian put her clothes in the locker earlier, Hu Ping also thought Xiao Niannian came from an important background, so she didn't say anything. But Xiao Niannian remained silent, which made her certain that Xiao Niannian had no backing. And Xiao Niannian arriving so late might have been due to some delay.

"Apologize to Yang Fang."

Zhu Dan and He Juan also chimed in.

"It's your first day in the camp, and you're already cursing a Comrade-in-arms. If the Commanders found out, they would definitely punish you severely."

"If you don't apologize, we'll tell Company Commander Hong and have him put you in solitary confinement."

Listening to them all making a big fuss, Xiao Niannian curled her lips and smiled.

"The Military Unit is a place that observes rules and discipline. You made a mistake, pushed it onto me, and then told me to apologize. If you want to complain, then go ahead and complain. We'll see who Company Commander Hong listens to."

Hearing Xiao Niannian's fearless words, Hu Ping felt a bit uncertain again.

"You're actually so excessive."

"Xiao Niannian, you're not uniting with your Comrades-in-arms..."

Li Le heard the commotion and walked over.

"What happened?"

Seeing Li Le approach, Yang Fang thought Li Le would help them, after all, they were all from big cities, and Hu Ping was a child of a high-ranking official, and Hu Ping's uncle was a Deputy Division Commander.

"Squad Leader Li, you've come at the right time. Just now, Xiao Niannian cursed me. It was clearly her who affected us today, making us late and getting punished..."

Li Le frowned upon hearing this. These four were all from the city, more delicate than their other female Soldiers. During previous training, they would constantly complain about being tired and sore, often getting everyone else punished.

New recruit training usually involved three kilometers, but during this month of New Recruit Regiment training, they were often punished with five kilometers.

Her gaze turned to Xiao Niannian and she asked.

"Xiao Niannian, what's going on here?"

Yang Fang immediately became displeased when she heard Li Le ask Xiao Niannian.

"Squad Leader Li, why are you still asking Xiao Niannian? Are the four of us going to lie to you?"

"Exactly, someone like Xiao Niannian is too much."

"Having someone like her as our Comrade-in-arms is truly a disgrace to us."

"If she doesn't apologize, we'll go find the Company Commander."

Xiao Niannian spoke.

"Yang Fang thinks I disturbed her while packing my luggage, causing her to be late, and she wants me to apologize. I asked her if she had water in her brain."

Li Le's mouth twitched. Xiao Niannian was really direct.

Qian Si secretly gave Xiao Niannian a thumbs up. Xiao Niannian was truly too brave. These past few days in the New Recruit Regiment, they usually avoided Hu Ping and the others, not wanting to conflict with them. Anyway, after joining the company, they wouldn't be in the same battalion; they would be mixed up and assigned to different battalions.

These female Soldiers either became signal Soldiers or joined the Medical Team; very few were assigned to combat units.

Although they wanted to go to combat units, their performance wasn't good enough.

They heard that signal Soldiers and the Medical Team weren't as tough.

"You..." Yang Fang glared at Xiao Niannian, angered by her words.

Hu Ping also spoke up.

"Squad Leader, Xiao Niannian just arrived, she should be united and friendly with her Comrades-in-arms. How can she curse a Comrade-in-arms? I think she should apologize."

Zheng Wu walked over, protecting Xiao Niannian.

"It's clearly you guys looking for trouble, bullying her because she's new."

"We don't think she's wrong."

"Yes, Squad Leader, Yang Fang should be punished, not Xiao Niannian."

Xiao Niannian hadn't expected Qian Si and Zheng Wu to protect her like this.

Li Le frowned, looked at Yang Fang, and said.

"Let's stop this here. It's break time now; you'll continue training later."

Yang Fang was somewhat unconvinced, and Hu Ping was also very unhappy. In their eyes, Li Le would definitely side with them. They hadn't expected Li Le to help Xiao Niannian.

Xiao Niannian looked around and suddenly saw a familiar person.

Lu Jing stood more than ten meters away, talking with a few people.

"Captain Lu, why are you here today?"

"The Commanders want our team to teach the New Recruit Regiment shooting. I brought people to check out the situation."

Regiment Commander Shi of the New Recruit Regiment was overjoyed to hear this.

"That's truly excellent, Little Lu. With you all teaching them, this year's new recruit assessment will definitely break through..."

There weren't usually this many female Soldier squads, but this year the number of female Soldiers was higher than in previous years. New recruits were difficult to manage, especially those children of high-ranking officials. This New Recruit Regiment had several children of high-ranking officials.

They hoped to get through these three months smoothly, with absolutely no problems occurring.
