666: The fifteen-day training session has ended.

Xiao Niannian understood Lu Jing's intention. After eating, they put the money and supplies into the baskets. When they left, the villagers wouldn't be able to catch up.

"Yes, then please accept it. Thank you. Tomorrow morning, we'll send the baskets back to you."

"Alright, alright, alright."

Secretary Yang and the others were overjoyed when they heard this.

"comrade Soldiers, you don't need to send them. We'll come and get them ourselves."

"How can that be? Of course, we'll deliver them ourselves."

The Team Members carried the food over, distributing some to each team.

The Womens Team Members received the most. Looking at the food on the table, they were very happy.

"Captain Xiao, this food looks delicious. We'll wash these bowls and pots later, and then put some money in them."

A Team Member spoke up.

"You eat. You don't need to pay. The team has funds."

"Okay."

Xiao Niannian looked at the dishes on the table and began to taste them.

There was plenty of oil, and the sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, winter melon, and pumpkins from home had all been sent over. The meat was also in large chunks.

After eating, the Team Members washed all the bowls and pots clean.

Xiao Niannian looked at Shen Yan and the others.

"Have the villagers taken the fishing nets back?"

Shen Yan shook his head.

"Still here."

"Tomorrow around six o'clock, you lead the team, find people to fish in the river, and catch more fish for them. Then take people to return the baskets."

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, Shen Yan immediately agreed.

"Yes."

Xiao Niannian planned to put more fish from her space into the area where Shen Yan and the others would be fishing tomorrow.

She would also take one hundred yuan from the team's funds and put it in the baskets for the villagers.

They couldn't take a single needle or thread from the masses; they had to abide by the rules.

Shen Yan was overjoyed to hear this. Catching fish! He loved to eat.

He liked it even more when he was ordered to catch fish.

For these Team Members, it would count as training.

Not long after, Instructor Qin returned with the Team Members.

"How are things?"

Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian walked forward.

"They were sent to the doctor in time. Two children had pneumonia. After half an hour of emergency treatment, their lives were saved, but they are still under observation in the special care ward. The other children can be discharged tomorrow..."

Instructor Qin was also very happy.

All saved!

"Political Instructor, you all hurry and eat. We saved some dishes for you."

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing were also very happy to hear that the children's lives were saved.

In the morning, the Team Members returned the baskets, which contained one hundred yuan and two full baskets of fish.

"Bang bang bang."

Hearing the knock on the door, the cadres in the Production Brigade headquarters woke up.

Secretary Yang also got up.

"comrade, we're here to return the baskets and bowls. Thank you..."

"You're welcome."

After thanking them, these Team Members ran a little further away.

"comrade, there's some money inside, it's for yesterday's food. Thank you..."

What?

The villagers and Production Brigade cadres finally came to their senses. They wanted to chase after them, but the Soldiers had already run far away.

"Quick, open it and see."

Seeing that it was a hundred yuan and two baskets of fish inside, Secretary Yang and the others were stunned.

"Why did they give so much?"

"Quick, find two fast runners and return these," Secretary Yang instructed the Production Brigade cadres.

"Secretary, there's a note here."

What?

Secretary Yang took the note and saw a few sentences written on it.

"Thank you all... This money is for the food, and these fish were caught in the river..."

Secretary Yang was incredibly surprised.

The villagers were also shocked.

"My goodness, they actually managed to catch so many fish in the river."

"This river is so deep, they are truly amazing."

"Quick, return it all."

"Secretary Yang is absolutely right."

But no matter how fast they ran, they couldn't catch up with the Special Forces Brigade Team Members.

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing continued their journey with the team.

Today they had to walk fifty li of mountain road, while the car would wait for them in advance at the destination.

The fifteen-day wilderness training finally concluded.

Along the way, quite a few things happened.

The Team Members were all a few jin lighter than before, but their spirits looked very different from how they used to be.

Xiao Niannian felt her own flesh was firmer.

These days, her feet hadn't gotten blisters, which was the happiest thing.

When they encountered rivers, the Team Members would swim for several hundred meters, but they were always led by instructors, and no one was allowed to swim in the river privately.

On the way back, Xiao Niannian and the others rode in military trucks.

Lu Jing was driving and saw his wife sleeping in the passenger seat, so he moved a little more gently.

However, the roads now naturally couldn't compare to those decades later.

A few hours later, Xiao Niannian woke up.

"Are we there?"

Xiao Niannian opened her eyes and looked at the gate of the training base.

Finally, they had arrived. They were back.

Fifteen days of training, it was truly arduous.

She looked at Lu Jing and smiled. It was precisely because Lu Jing was driving that she could sleep so soundly and peacefully. If it were anyone else, she would definitely be on alert.

The assembly whistle sounded.

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing ran towards the training ground.

Captain Chen and Political Commissar Li, along with other leaders, stood in front, talking.

After more than ten minutes, the team disbanded.

They had one day of rest.

Xiao Niannian looked at her watch; it was already past five in the afternoon.

She decided to take a shower first, then go to the cafeteria for dinner.

While showering, Xiao Niannian heard someone arrive.

"Where's Niannian?"

Hearing this voice, Xiao Niannian was very happy. She hadn't seen her Older Brothers in several months.

"She's showering, she'll be out soon."

Xiao Niannian changed her clothes and walked out.

"Niannian, you talk to Eldest Brother."

Lu Jing walked outside. After only a few steps, he saw Military Doctor Shen and Shen Yan approaching with food.

"Brother Lu, I heard Brother Yuan is here, so we brought some dishes to eat."

Shen Yan had gotten much darker these days, but he looked more energetic than before.

Now his eyes were sparkling as he looked at Lu Jing, full of spirit.

"Okay."

Lu Jing looked at them and said.

"I still have dishes steaming on the stove. Remember to tidy up. I'll go to the cafeteria to get other dishes."

"Alright."

Xiao Niannian looked at Eldest Brother. After not seeing him for some time, she felt that Eldest Brother had become even more handsome.

Looking closely, Eldest Brother and Second Brother also resembled her greatly.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Eldest Brother, you're quite handsome."

Hearing his younger sister's compliment, Gu Yuan couldn't be happier.

"Thank you, little sister."

His younger sister called him handsome. Although he already knew it himself, was being praised by others the same as being praised by his younger sister?

"Why do you seem a little unhappy?"

Hearing his younger sister's words, Gu Yuan immediately forced a smile.

"How could Eldest Brother be unhappy seeing you?"

Seeing Eldest Brother's smile, Xiao Niannian felt something was off.

Could it be that something had happened at home these past few days?
