It was raining a little fast. It was clear that the wind was nice and sunny in the morning, but at this time the raindrops were already falling like beans.
The training of soldiers will not be delayed because of rain.
A group of grown men were crowded into a room changing into training clothes. The room was filled with honey color.
Lu Yunzheng moved quickly. Before some people had finished taking off their clothes, he had already finished changing, and stood waiting for Yang Zhiqiang and Qian Baoguo.
Seeing the two people's extraordinarily slow movements today, Lu Yunzheng couldn't help but urged impatiently, "Don't delay, hurry up."
As if he didn't hear anything, Yang Zhiqiang took off his socks, bunched them together like a baby, and put them together with the clothes he took off.
Lu Yunzheng glanced at Yang Zhiqiang coldly, "What are you doing taking off your socks to change into training clothes?"
Yang Zhiqiang said happily, "These are new socks that my wife bought for me in the department store yesterday. My wife asked me to wear them carefully."
"Hey! Brother Baoguo! That's a new watch!" Yang Zhiqiang quickly came to Qian Baoguo's side and took a closer look, "When did you buy it? It's so beautiful! Let me have a look."
Qian Baoguo bared his teeth and laughed "hehe" twice. He hid the hand holding the watch and said, "My wife bought it for me in the department store yesterday. I can't wear this watch during training. You Don’t look around and don’t do anything bad again.”
"Hey, hey, this is precious!" Yang Zhiqiang teased coquettishly.
"Aren't you the same? I want to give up a pair of socks!" Qian Baoguo counterattacked.
"The things my wife bought must be precious!" Yang Zhiqiang straightened his back and said happily.
"Eh? That's right! Lu Tuan, our three wives went to the department store together. My wife bought me new socks and a new shirt. Baoguo's wife bought him a watch. What did my sister-in-law buy for you? Yeah? Take it out and show it to us! Can’t you just buy nothing?”
Yang Zhiqiang put on his clothes and said to Lu Yunzheng.
Lu Yunzheng's expression did not change. He glanced at his watch and said, "Gather at the training ground within thirty seconds."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the training ground.
After hearing Lu Yunzheng's words, Yang Zhiqiang stopped laughing. Like everyone else, his expression suddenly became serious. He quickly packed his clothes and ran to the training ground.
The rain slapped on the faces of the soldiers, but they seemed not to notice it, and they were not slacking off at all compared to usual.
Today's training was not much different from usual, but when it came to the battle, Yang Zhiqiang happened to be assigned to Lu Yunzheng.
Lu Yunzheng is recognized as the most skilled in the group, but Yang Zhiqiang has also fought against Lu Yunzheng before, and his loss was not ugly.
But today, the person on the opposite side was like a chicken. Before the two of them could exchange a few moves, Yang Zhiqiang fell into the mud with a "pop".
"Damn! Lu Yunzheng! Why are you using so much force?"
Yang Zhiqiang wiped the mud on his face and struggled to stand up.
Rainwater flowed down Lu Yunzheng's angular face. Lu Yunzheng wiped the rainwater on his face roughly, "Training is not playing house, come again."
The two bodies struggled together again, and once again the winner was quickly determined.
When Yang Zhiqiang returned home from training in the afternoon, his whole body was sore and sore, as if he had experienced a disaster.
On the other hand, Lu Yunzheng was walking in front as if nothing had happened.
Yang Zhiqiang didn't know when he offended this giant Buddha, but Yang Zhiqiang dared not say anything when he was angry. He only hoped that the next battle would not be his turn with Lu Yunzheng...

Lu Yunzheng took a meal from the cafeteria, and when he arrived at the hospital, he found that Xu Wantang was not in the ward.
He put down his things suspiciously, went out and looked around, and found that the other party was in the next ward, holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand, listening to the gossip of two aunts.
"As soon as her wife entered the door, she saw the widow in the village..."
Xu Wantang listened very seriously, his big eyes reluctant to blink, full of expectation.
The melon seeds were placed between her lips. Xu Wantang was so fascinated that she forgot to knock them open.
Lu Yunzheng looked at her expectant look and knocked on the door of the ward like a child mischievously.
"Dong dong dong."
Lu Yunzheng's eyes kept falling on Xu Wantang without moving away for a moment.
Seeing Xu Wantang blinking as if awakened from a dream, he immediately looked in his direction.
There was still a little confusion in her eyes, which looked interesting.
Seeing this, Lu Yunzheng said with an imperceptible smile, "It's time to eat."
Auntie's gossip story was suddenly interrupted by Lu Yunzheng, and the content of their discussion began to revolve around Lu Yunzheng and Xu Wantang.
"Hey, girl, is this the one from your family? He's also an officer! He's so majestic!"
Auntie has lost one of her front teeth, but when it comes to gossiping and praising people, she is not ambiguous at all.
Xu Wantang was listening to the story enthusiastically when he was interrupted by Lu Yunzheng, feeling very aggrieved.
She glanced sideways at Lu Yunzheng out of the corner of her eye and said "hmm" as an answer to the aunt.
Lu Yunzheng naturally noticed Xu Wantang glaring at him, but he pretended not to notice and still stood at the door, silently but occasionally urging Xu Wantang dutifully.
"Go back and eat quickly. I'm hungry too. My wife will be back soon to prepare food. Come see me tomorrow, girl!"
The aunt squeezed Xu Wantang's arm and said enthusiastically, "Eat more, let's see how thin you are!"
Seeing what the aunt said, Xu Wantang was embarrassed to stay any longer, so he had no choice but to nod, say goodbye to the aunt, and return to his ward.
When Xu Wantang and Lu Yunzheng stayed together, they basically didn't speak unless they had something to say. They seemed to be used to each other's silence.
Back in the ward, Lu Yunzheng opened his lunch box and took chopsticks very consciously.
Tonight's meal is fried pork with bean sprouts, braised fish and a cold dish.
Xu Wantang took the chopsticks from Lu Yunzheng's hand, thanked him, and started eating quietly.
This kind of food is considered very good in today's era. Xu Wantang is very satisfied, but Xu Wantang is somewhat picky and begins to miss his own craftsmanship.
Fortunately, she will be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate in a few days. She happened to go home and cook sea cucumbers and seafood. They must be delicious!
Xu Wantang was so focused on eating that he didn't notice that Lu Yunzheng was hesitant to speak.
From the moment he started eating, Lu Yunzheng always glanced at the pocket in the corner.
Xu Wantang got that bag back when he went shopping in the department store yesterday. After Xu Wantang fainted that night, Lu Yunzheng took the bag to the hospital.
Lu Yunzheng pulled the rice in the bowl into his mouth with a few clicks, chewed it a few times and swallowed it all.
"Have you packed all your things?" Lu Yunzheng put down his chopsticks and asked Xu Wantang while looking at the big bag.
