The night before military training, Zhuang Zhimeng and her husband did not go home.

I talked to the children for a long time through their watches, until they fell asleep.

The couple exchanged a few more words and then went to sleep in their respective dormitories.

When Zhuang Zhimeng opened her eyes in the morning, she habitually glanced at the warehouse screen.

She discovered that her lover had sent her a message.

"Honey, I feel so bad."

I haven't slept much; someone in my dorm grinds their teeth at night, it's driving me crazy.

Zhuang Zhimeng smiled and sent her lover a kiss in return.

An Qingbai's screen immediately displayed a large image of his wife's mouth.

They were still kissing.

"Haha, honey, that kiss of yours was really interesting."

An Qingbai then returned the kiss to his wife.

"Haha, this is so much fun."

"Honey, I'm getting ready to get up. I have some earplugs here; I'll give them to you at lunchtime."

"Okay, honey, I'm getting ready to get up too. I love you."

Zhuang Zhimeng always felt very sweet when she talked to her lover.

I changed into my military training clothes and got out of bed.

Jiang Yanxia gasped in surprise.

"Wow, Zhimeng, you're so cool."

Zhuang Zhimeng struck a pose as if holding a gun.

"How is it? Doesn't it look like a soldier?"

Zeng Mengdie quickly took out her camera and snapped a picture.

"Old Six must keep this photo safe."

As a result, everyone in the dormitory wanted to have their picture taken.

Zeng Mengdie shook her head and chuckled.

"Okay, line up, I'll take a picture of each of you."

What's it like to have a roommate who majors in journalism?

They could become her material at any time, and could be photographed at any time.

After Zhuang Zhimeng and the others finished taking photos, they looked at Zeng Mengdie.

"When Mengdie develops the photos, she will print out my picture. I want to keep it."

“Okay, no problem. I’ll print one for each of you so you can keep it as a souvenir.”

Everyone in the dormitory is in a good mood right now.

After chatting and laughing through our morning routine, we finished washing up and then ate together.

They couldn't smile anymore once military training started.

The instructor assigned to Zhuang Zhimeng's class was someone Zhuang Zhimeng knew.

She is Shi Yanan, the granddaughter of Grandpa Shi, who also lives in the military compound.

Shi Yanan clearly still remembered her.

She's been hearing about Zhimeng (a dream) from her husband more than once since she came back recently; he's practically worn out from hearing it.

Shi Yanan was furious and prepared to teach this girl a lesson.

They made the class stand at attention for an hour right from the start, specifically choosing a sunny spot for them to stand.

Fortunately, it was just past winter, so the sun wasn't too strong.

As Zhuang Zhimeng stood at attention, she mentally cursed Shi Yanan.

I breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.

Shi Yanan secretly observed Zhuang Zhimeng and was very satisfied.

As expected of Commander Zhuang's granddaughter, her posture is perfect.

An hour later, Shi Yanan finally made the announcement.

"Rest in place for ten minutes."

My name is Shi Yanan, you should call me Instructor Shi.

I will be your military training instructor for the next two weeks.

"You need to submit a report before you can act. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

"Didn't you eat? Speak louder, did you understand?"

The whole class shouted together.

"I understand."

"Very good, rest where you are."

Zhuang Zhimeng squatted down to rest.

Jiang Yanxia was massaging her legs next to her.

"I felt like my legs weren't mine anymore; I was already on the verge of giving up at the very beginning."

We should be grateful.

Imagine if it were the dead of summer, how hot it would be, drenched in sweat, and having to stand at attention.

"That's true. By the way, Zhimeng, do you feel like our instructors know you?"

I saw her look at you several times.

Zhuang Zhimeng nodded, leaned close to Xiazi's ear, and whispered something to her.

"Her grandfather and my grandfather were of the same rank."

We used to play together a lot when we were kids, it would be strange if she didn't recognize me.

Jiang Yanxia muttered a complaint under her breath.

"It seems the instructors aren't going to go easy on us at all."

"I doubt it. It would be merciful of her not to make things really bad for us."

"We're in such a terrible situation."

Zhuang Zhimeng felt even more fortunate.

Shi Yanan didn't become the second sister-in-law; I feel their personalities wouldn't mesh.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Shi Yanan demanded to continue standing at attention.

People seem to have adapted a bit and aren't feeling so bad anymore.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out among the classes on the playground.

Someone fainted.

Shi Yanan kept her eyes straight ahead.

"No one is allowed to look. Keep standing at attention."

You are the new generation of college students; how can you manage without good physical fitness?

I spent the whole morning standing at attention.

I ate with extra relish at lunchtime.

"Honey, what did you two do this morning?"

Zhuang Zhimeng took a bite of the steamed bun.

"Don't even mention it. I stood at attention all morning and only got a 20-minute break."

"Well, we're a bit better off than your class. We've had a total of one hour of rest."

"So enviable."

Our instructor is Grandpa Shi's granddaughter, and she doesn't go easy on us at all.

"Grandpa Shi?"

"Oh, I remember now, we met Grandpa Shi in the military compound."

"Yes, that's his granddaughter."

An Qingbai put the meat into his wife's bowl.

"Eat more meat. The food has been much better during military training. We can buy meat and vegetables every day."

This morning, someone in our class fainted because they hadn't eaten breakfast and had low blood sugar.

Zhuang Zhimeng also put some meat on her lover's plate.

"Abo, eat more meat too."

There's absolutely no need to develop hypoglycemia. The cafeteria offers meals for a few cents each, so you should at least eat something.
