503: Did the elite team members eat too many mushrooms?
Xiao Niannian immediately went to the First Team's training ground.
Lu Jing was leading the team in training, and when he saw Niannian approaching, his stern expression immediately softened a few shades.
"Report."
Seeing Niannian salute, Lu Jing returned a military salute.
"The Captain and Political Commissar said that I should train with your First Team for the next few days."
Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, Lu Jing immediately nodded.
"Xiao Niannian, fall in line."
"Yes."
Xiao Cui and Fang Qiang immediately cheered.
"Oh!"
"Great."
The other Soldiers immediately made way for her in the very center.
Xiao Niannian smiled at her Comrades-in-arms.
"Squad Leader Li, Fang Qiang... are your injuries healed?"
"Thank you for your concern, Deputy Company Commander Xiao, my injury has healed."
"Thank you, Comrade Xiao."
Instructor Qin listened to their lively conversation and said loudly,
"Welcome, Comrade Xiao."
"Welcome."
The Soldiers clapped vigorously.
The people training here were dozens of elite Team Members, most of whom had completed missions with Xiao Niannian, and some had been saved by Xiao Niannian. Naturally, they were extremely happy to see Xiao Niannian now.
"Welcome, Comrade Xiao."
Not far away, the elite Team Members of the Second Team and Third Team were surprised to hear the cheers from the First Team.
"Are those people from the First Team crazy?"
"Could it be that they were trained to madness?"
"Shouting so loudly, is there some good news?"
"I don't know."
Lu Jing had a smile on his face and looked at Niannian. After the applause stopped, Lu Jing spoke.
"Continue training."
"Yes."
Xiao Niannian trained with her Team Members. Although she hadn't trained with them for more than half a year, she could keep up with all the training. Moreover, Xiao Niannian was very relaxed now.
After a full day of training, many Team Members were a bit tired, but Xiao Niannian stood there, her complexion still excellent.
"Comrade Xiao, will you be a member of our Special Forces Brigade from now on?"
"Yes."
"That's great."
"Comrade Xiao, I heard that our Production Brigade will have a Womens Detachment in the future, is that true?"
"It's true."
"That's wonderful."
After training, Xiao Niannian was surrounded by many Comrades-in-arms; everyone was extremely enthusiastic.
"I heard you got promoted, Comrade Xiao, congratulations."
Fang Qiang said with a smile.
"Comrade Xiao, since you've been promoted, are you treating us today?"
Hearing Fang Qiang's words, Xiao Niannian smiled and agreed.
"Okay."
The other Soldiers cheered again when they heard Xiao Niannian.
"Thank you, Comrade Xiao."
Xiao Niannian led her Comrades-in-arms towards the cafeteria. In fact, she had long planned to treat these Comrades-in-arms. Moreover, the cured meat and other local specialties mailed to her from home had arrived in the past two days. She moved more than half of it to the cafeteria, and the rest she had Captain Lu entrust someone to send back to the Family Courtyard at the Division Headquarters.
"Today, the cafeteria is adding two extra dishes to each table."
Xiao Niannian said with a smile.
"That's great, thank you, Comrade Xiao."
The Soldiers happily ran towards the cafeteria.
The Soldiers from the Second Team and Third Team looked at the First Team, who seemed to be full of energy, with confusion.
"Could it be that the elite Team Members of the First Team ate too many mushrooms?"
"They've seemed a bit abnormal all day today."
"What exactly are they up to?"
"Let's go take a look."
Although the First, Second, and Third Teams ate in the same cafeteria, they had assigned seats.
After the First Team Members sat down, some Team Members brought extra dishes from the cafeteria.
When the Second and Third Team Members passed by after getting their food, they saw the First Team's extra dishes, and some Team Members were immediately surprised.
"Look quickly, the First Team has extra dishes again."
"Could it be that the cafeteria staff only gives extra dishes to the First Team?"
"It seems to be cured meat and other meats."
"That's too much."
The First Team Members and regular Team Members were very happy. They had the most extra meals in the entire Special Forces Brigade. The team would provide extra meals for the entire Production Brigade once a month, but Captain Lu would pay out of his own pocket to give them extra meals. Sometimes, Captain Lu would take them to the back mountain to catch some game, and whenever Captain Lu was there, they would hunt more than usual.
They didn't bring guns, only bows and arrows and made some traps.
Today's extra meal was paid for by Comrade Xiao.
Most of the Team Members had seen Xiao Niannian and been trained by her, and a small portion of Team Members had heard of Xiao Niannian but hadn't met her.
Now they finally met Comrade Xiao, and Comrade Xiao was indeed as impressive as they had heard.
Today, she even paid out of her own pocket to give them an extra meal.
"The Captain bought soybeans and made us soy milk. Let's raise our soy milk instead of wine to Comrade Xiao. Thank you, Comrade Xiao."
The Team Members all raised their cups and said loudly,
"Thank you, Comrade Xiao."
The sound was so loud that all the Team Members in the cafeteria looked over.
Thank you, Comrade Xiao? Who is Comrade Xiao?
The Team Members of the Second and Third Teams looked at the First Team with puzzled expressions.
And a few people in the Second and Third Teams who knew Xiao Niannian were also surprised.
Previously at the training base, Comrade Xiao Niannian was an instructor, training them in parachuting and five-kilometer sea training, among other drills.
Unexpectedly, Comrade Xiao is now at the Special Forces Brigade.
Could it be that the Production Brigade will really form a Women's Special Forces Detachment? Or a Women's Special Forces Squad?
That would be truly wonderful!
There isn't a single Female Comrade in their Production Brigade's team.
Lu Jing sat next to Niannian, watching her talk to her Comrades-in-arms with a beaming smile, and he also had a smile on his face.
Xiao Niannian drank the soy milk, finding the soy milk made in this Special Forces Brigade truly delicious.
It felt better than what she had tasted in the Capital City, City Name, and other places. She guessed that the Cooking Squad Comrade had a family secret recipe. After the 1980s, this Comrade could start a business and would definitely sell well with such a skill.
At that time, if any Comrades-in-arms retired and wanted to start a business, she could invest in some, becoming an investor, and perhaps invest in many ten-thousand-yuan households, hundred-thousand-yuan households, or even million-yuan households.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Niannian looking at the soy milk in her cup, Lu Jing asked.
"This soy milk is delicious."
Lu Jing picked up the pot next to him and filled Niannian's cup.
"Here's a pot, you drink it. I'll take a pot to the dormitory later."
"No need, I can't drink that much, I was just sighing."
Xiao Niannian said with a smile.
Hearing Niannian's words, Lu Jing did not change his mind.
After eating, Xiao Niannian went to the office to call home.
Grandma and Mom were still living in the Family Courtyard at the Division Headquarters, while her eldest brother and second brother had already returned to Chengdu.
Xiao Niannian talked with her Grandma and Mom for a while, then called her Grandparents in the Capital City.
