Chapter 127 Learning to Swim, Qi Jianping Goes to the Island



Troops stationed on the island.

Dong Yongguang sat on a chair and said to Du Fengguo: "This batch of new recruits come from all corners of the country and have never been trained. Their physical fitness is fine, but their conditions are also uneven. Which company they will be assigned to depends on their situation after training."

Du Fengguo asked hesitantly, "Who will be sent to train the new recruits this time?"

Dong Yongguang took out the documents that had been prepared long ago from the drawer and said, "The higher-ups have already made a decision to let Feng Yunhao and Liao Tingming go."

Du Fengguo frowned, "Isn't Liao Tingming too young? Training newcomers at the age of 25, there is a high possibility that he will not be able to convince the crowd by then."

Dong Yongguang pointed at the red seal on the document and said, "If the recruits are not convinced, just do it. In the army, whoever is more capable is the boss. Feng Yunhao is a bit older, so he is a good match for the younger Liao Tingming. These recruits are all young people, some of whom are not even 20 years old. I am worried that Feng Yunhao is out of touch with the new recruits and cannot keep up with their thinking."

This year, the Second Battalion's ship company was short of a lot of people, so arranging Liao Tingming to go for training was also to supplement the manpower.

Du Fengguo bent down and took the order document, "Okay, I'll pass the order down and ask them to get ready."

Dong Yongguang nodded in agreement, "The new recruits will arrive at Jinshan Island in five days. Don't be polite to them, just train them hard."

Du Fengguo nodded.

Feng Yunhao and Liao Tingming knew that there would be new recruits to fill the vacancies left by retired veterans, but what they didn't expect was that the leaders above would actually let Liao Tingming and Feng Yunhao work together.

In previous years, such tasks should have been assigned to the battalion commander. Liao Tingming is still the company commander. Could it be that his superiors intend to promote him again?

Du Fengguo stared at the two men's stunned faces and said, "We trust you to be entrusted with such an important task. Don't disappoint the leaders' expectations of you. Work hard and strive to train more good talents for the army this year."

Feng Yunhao saluted: "Yes, Captain."

Liao Tingming was a beat slower to react, "Got it."

After Du Fengguo left, Feng Yunhao and Liao Tingming looked at the red-headed document and looked at each other for a few seconds.

"Teacher Wang, why do you need to bring a lifebuoy?"

Today Feng Lili is going to take Wang Shuning to the beach to learn swimming. When they first arrived, Ding Hui said she would let her daughter teach her, but there was no suitable time and it has been delayed until now.

Wang Shuning said while holding a life buoy: "You are not yet grown up, and you can't hold up the teacher. With the life buoy, you won't sink."

Feng Lili pointed to the ground and explained: "Teacher Wang, we will learn at the beach. Mom and brother will watch us. When there is a wave, we will go up. The depth is at most up to the teacher's knees. We can stand up as soon as we stretch our legs. We don't need a swimming ring."

Wang Shuning insisted on bringing it with him. "Let's bring it with us. It can be used in case of an accident."

When we arrived at the beach, there were no reefs here. It was all golden sand as far as the eye could see. There were a few small black spots on the ground, which were empty shells and seaweed that were washed ashore by the waves.

"Teacher Wang, please go into the water and lie on your stomach, spread your arms and legs, and I will hold your waist."

Feng Lili's identity transformation from student to teacher was very successful, but her speaking voice is still that of a child.

As soon as Wang Shuning lay down in the sea, she sank. Even though there was buoyancy in the water, Feng Lili's small hands could not support her.

After trying several times, Feng Lili stood aside with her two little eyebrows twisted into a caterpillar.

"Mom, Teacher Wang is too heavy for me to lift. Please come down and help me."

An arrow hit Wang Shuning's heart.

Ding Hui told her son, "Open your eyes and watch carefully. If the waves come, shout at us immediately."

Feng Guoqiang nodded vigorously, "Mom, I understand."

His lips were not closed tightly and the sea water rushed into his mouth, filling his mouth with a salty taste. Wang Shuning quickly closed his lips tightly.

After two hours of unremitting efforts, Ding Hui and Feng Lili were finally able to remove their hands from Wang Shuning's belly.

You will fall down before swimming two meters.

Ding Hui looked at the sea surface, the temperature was starting to drop a bit, "Teacher Wang, let's stop here for today, come up and dry your clothes before we go back."

Wang Shuning stood up with his limbs, and the hair tie loosened and fell off, leaving his hair disheveled. "Okay."

Even though he could only swim a little over one meter, Wang Shuning felt a great sense of accomplishment.

After twenty minutes of sun on the beach, your clothes will be completely dry.

The four of them walked slowly towards the family area.

In the distance, a dense row of green figures jogged past on the road. Ding Hui raised her hand to block the sun and looked out. "They look like new recruits."

Wang Shuning opened his eyes wide: "New recruit?"

Feng Guoqiang and Feng Lili ran forward excitedly to watch the fun.

Ding Hui nodded. "It's like this every year. Old soldiers are discharged in early March, and new soldiers arrive on the island in mid-March. My husband told me that the number of new soldiers arriving on Jinshan Island this year is three times that of last year. I always feel uneasy and a little worried."

The last time Feng Yunhao went out to sea for several days, he came back injured, which really scared Ding Hui.

Wang Shuning looked at the group of recruits who were not even running in an orderly manner. In the novel, the male and female protagonists had never been to Jinshan Island. According to the original plot, they were now in the countryside of City B and were not clear about the situation in the outside world.

Therefore, Wang Shuning did not have any relevant information about the war on Jinshan Island or Dashan City in his memory.

As the distance shortened, the end of the recruits was about to pass in front of them.

Qi Jianping, who was running at the end of the team, turned his head and glanced at Wang Shuning's face who was standing on the side of the road.

Wang Shuning opened his lips slightly. Why did he come here?

Looking at the figure gradually going away, it was that tall guy.

After returning home, Wang Shuning thought about it and felt strange. Qi Jianping was the son of a car manufacturing plant director. Why did he give up his good job and join the army?

How could it be such a coincidence that I chose to serve in the army on Jinshan Island?

The recruits go to the island for a three-month training period.

During the training period, they have no personal time and all they do every day is training except eating and sleeping.

Feng Yunhao often did not go home during this period and lived in the army to take care of these people.

Sometimes there would be surprise attacks at night, and Wang Shuning would often hear noises in the middle of the night, causing her sleep quality to plummet.

Others could hear it too, but they had been on the island for so long that they had long been accustomed to it.

Feng Yunhao looked at Qi Jianping who was doing push-ups in the sea with a look of satisfaction in his eyes, "He has good physical strength and can hold his breath for a long time, but he is a little too tall."

Liao Tingming agreed, "Every year, a number of people are eliminated due to their height. There are people in the army who are 1.9 meters tall, but this is the first one on our island."

1.85 meters is considered tall, but Qi Jianping is actually 1.95 meters tall.

Feng Yunhao said, "Many people from the ship company retired this year. One fifth of these new recruits will be yours. How many do you like?"

Liao Tingming smiled and evaded the question: "The recruit training is not over yet, let's wait and see."

Although Feng Yunhao is his superior, he is the battalion commander of the first battalion and he is the company commander of the ship company of the second battalion. In terms of competing for new recruits, they are competitors.
