The Spring Festival is approaching, but in the special forces team, Fugui did not feel any festive atmosphere. Instead, because the assessment is approaching, he feels more nervous.
He could not imagine how cruel it would be to him once he was eliminated: he returned to the original army in shame and waited for his retirement. Although he didn't know what it meant to him to stay here, he was unwilling to be eliminated. He wanted to prove with practice that he was the most qualified team member here.
He trained hard every day on the training ground, but after training, a kind of depression often lingers on him, making him feel extremely melancholy. He has been here for almost a month, but he has not written a letter to the Swallow at home. He can imagine how lost and melancholy it would be without his letter.
Sometimes on sleepless nights, he silently took out the photos of the swallow and looked at the handsome smile of the swallow. He could not stop the longing and longing in his heart. The distant and sweet memories were always full of helpless space.
Sometimes, he touched the scars on his body and doubted his original choice. He felt very confused and didn't know what fate would be waiting for him when he came here. He didn't know whether he chose this place at the right time...
One day, after dinner, he returned to the dormitory with Zhang Chengliang. When he saw Liming lying on the bed and writing something, he was delighted and walked over quietly. However, he was soon disappointed. Liming was writing a diary.
Li Ming turned around and glared at him: "What are you doing, sneaky."
He smiled embarrassedly: "Haha, I thought you were writing a letter."
Leon closed his diary and sat up: "Write a letter? To whom? Besides, there is no place to send it if you write it."
Fugui sat blankly for a while and said depressedly: "Liling, what kind of troops do you think this is? We have been here for more than a month. We don't know the number of troops, and we can't communicate with the outside world. We don't know how worried our family members are."
Li Ming said disapprovingly: "What's the matter? There is a saying that you can rest assured when you come. I think life here is quite suitable for me, but it doesn't matter. As for communication or not, it's nothing to me. Anyway, my parents are in Yunnan and I don't care about me. I am alone now, and there is no one to worry about me, and I don't have to worry about my family."
Zhang Chengliang winked at Fugui and smiled, "Fugui, I've long seen you restless. Are you worried about someone at home? They are all buddies, be honest."
Fugui seemed to have his worries exposed and blushed. He tried his best to defend himself: "How could it be? I just think these military disciplines are not very humane." After saying that, he sighed.
Zhang Chengliang looked at Li Ming and said with a smile: "Li Ming, do you have any ideas? Can you write a letter home? Or you will have to miss you even if you see wealth and honor."
Liming thought for a while and said, "There is a solution, but it depends on whether you are willing to do it."
Fugui almost jumped up excitedly: "Is there really a way? Tell me quickly."
Zhang Chengliang pointed at Fugui and laughed: "I'm right. Look at Fugui, you're happy. Dawn, don't keep it aside. Tell me what you do. Fugui and I will wash your clothes for you."
Li Ming looked at them proudly: "Really? How many times did you wash it?"
Fugui held his hand and said, "Will ten days be successful?" Seeing that Liming was still hesitating, he said, "It's okay for half a month."
Dawn jumped out of the bed and took out a lot of clothes from the cabinet: "These are all things to be washed. You can go and wash them now. I will tell you after they are washed."
Seeing that Zhang Chengliang was still hesitating, Fugui pulled him and said, "Okay, let's go wash now. You have to keep your word."
After they finished washing their clothes, Li Ming was watching TV with Jinhui, Du Shengli and Liu Long.
Seeing them coming in, Liming asked casually: "Have you washed it? Have you hung it on?"
Fugui pulled him aside and said with a smile: "It's ready, Dawn, you can't go back on your word, tell me your solution."
Li Ming scratched his head, looked down at his feet and said, "Look, I'm just trying to find a way for you. My feet haven't washed. Why don't you ask me to get some hot water?"
Fugui took the basin from the shelf and said, "Okay, I'll go and fight."
He fed the water and handed it to Liming with hot water: "Can you tell me now?"
Li Ming slowly took off his training boots, put in hot water, raised his head comfortably, and after a long time he pretended to be mysterious, "My solution is..." After that, he secretly glanced at Jinhui and the others.
Zhang Chengliang said anxiously: "They are watching TV and can't hear it. What can I do?"
Li Ming said in a low voice: "Aren't we about to take the exam? You can find a way to fail the exam, so that you can return to the original army. If you return to the original army, of course you can write letters casually." After that, he laughed happily.
Fugui felt disappointed when he heard that he had such a bad idea. Li Ming smiled sly, and Fugui stared at him hatefully, wishing to pick up the basin of foot washing water and pour it on Li Ming's head!

The day of assessment is coming soon.
That morning, he was awakened by a crisp sound in his mind. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Dawn on the lower bunk wiping the gun.
Fugui looked at his watch, but it was still early. He sat up and asked, "Why are you doing so early?"
Dawn did not even raise his head and continued to wipe the gun: "Today's assessment, I can't sleep, so I get up to do preparations. Oh, don't sleep anymore, get up and prepare."
Fugui asked while wearing clothes, "Liaoming, do you think we can pass the assessment today? Do you think if we fail, will we really be repatriated to the original troops?"
Li Ming glared at him: "Stop! Don't say these words of chaos in the army." He was silent for a while and said: "Whoever has cigarettes? I have to smoke."
Fugui handed him one, and Liming lit it and took a sip. Because he was not used to it, he coughed for a while: "What kind of cigarette is this? It's so hard to smoke." After that, he pinched it hard on the floor.
Jin Hui poked his head out and muttered, "What are you quarrels about? Why are you so nervous? The most important thing now is to have a good mentality. This is a problem with psychological quality. I think you have problems with your mental quality."
Li Ming glanced at him: "Fatty, get up quickly, I tell you, today is a day that determines our destiny. The training for more than a month will all look at today. If we really can't pass the assessment and go back to the original army in shame, that would be embarrassing. It would be better if your original army is all field troops. I want me to go back to raise fish, and I won't do it if I kill you."
Zhang Chengliang looked at Li Ming and said in disbelief: "What did you say? Li Ming, did your former army raise fish?"
Li Ming looked at everyone awkwardly: "Oh, how could it be? Our army is a service center, that is, a security battalion."
Jin Hui smiled while wearing clothes: "Lu is sinking, Liming, you said you are a fish farmer, why are you here to show off? I think you are good at raising fish. You can go back to raise fish after you have been discharged from the army. It's great."
Li Ming waved his hand in annoyance and interrupted him: "Don't talk about this. Alas, I'll tell you, in today's assessment, everyone will try their best and even get the best results. Isn't it just a few items? We have been training for a month, can we be scared by the assessment? When we are off-road, we will be exhausted and crawl back for me. There is also Sanda, don't care who your opponent is, first of all, you must have confidence, believe that no one is our opponent, we are the strongest. There is also shooting, wealth and honor, you have the best shooting results, and introduce your experience to you."
Fugui said embarrassedly: "I really can't tell you. In fact, everyone knows the key points, that is, three points of positioning, just be able to keep your hands from shaking and your gun from tilting. As for experience, it's really nothing."
Liu Long looked at Fugui disdainfully: "I think you are keeping a hand, right? Then we do the same when shooting, why are the grades not as good as you?"
Fugui didn't know how to explain it, so he patted his head and said, "Really, I don't know how I aimed. Anyway, it hit the bull's-eye when the bullet pops up. I really can't tell the experience."
Liming nodded and said, "Then we won't say it anymore. Anyway, we just say it now, and we don't have time to practice."
Liu Long wiped his face and looked at Fugui and said, "Fugui, I think you will never be eliminated. You have such a good marksman and are the seedlings of excellent snipers. How could the brigade be willing to let you be eliminated? And Dawn, our captain likes you so much, and he will not be willing to let you go. Only a few of us are pitiful people who are no one to love. If you can't pass, you will be eliminated."
Jin Hui took over the conversation and said, "I think so, hey, Liming, what kind of friendship do you have with the captain? He just likes you so much?"
