The moment he saw his grandfather's body, He Biting's emotions completely collapsed.

Li Shuai, who was standing far away, his nerves that had been beaten to the point of being extremely tough, softened in the heart-wrenching cry, and a layer of mist gradually rose to his eyes.

Niu Jun could not move with his cell phone in his hand. She could not take such a scene outside. There was no endless people to pay tribute, no ceremony to mourn, only relatives kept in mind the wishes of the deceased. The car at the funeral home was parked in front of the door and waiting by the roadside, and the staff of the funeral home lined up and stood there quietly waiting.

Grief makes the night darker.

"Photo shoot, you should leave some things that future generations can see." Li Shuai said.

Niu Jun looked at Li Shuai, wiped away his tears, took a deep breath and adjusted, and walked in.

The temperature in the mountains was particularly low, and the biting chill made Li Shuai, who was wearing a single clothes, clenched his teeth involuntarily. He had to come and drive away the chill. At five o'clock in the morning, under the lights radiated from the room, the exhaled heat was as clearly visible as the water mist coming out of the open steamer.

The staff of the funeral home strode in. The He family cried and watched the old man's body be carried out to the funeral car. Niu Jun helped He Biting out, and He Biting wiped away his tears and did not cry anymore. He gritted his teeth in front of Li Shuai. Li Shuai approached, held He Biting's shoulders and hugged her gently, as if he had hugged the helpless child and patted his back to comfort him.

The funeral cart roared away and the mountain village returned to quiet.

The group and their relatives took a car to the Martyrs' Cemetery dozens of kilometers away. A squad of soldiers stationed in the local armed police troop were in winter uniforms and carrying Type 03 automatic rifles at the Martyrs' Cemetery. At 9:05 in the morning, the hearse arrived. Under the witness of relatives and friends, the soldiers of the armed police troop placed Mr. He's ashes in the military manner.

Following the deceased's last wish, He Biting's family bid farewell to the old man.

Wu Chengyong called Li Shuai aside and whispered, "The high-speed train will be at 5:15 tomorrow afternoon. There is still some time to let He Biting accompany her parents. Her parents will send people to the Armed Forces Guesthouse before 3:00 tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay." Li Shuai agreed.

"Call the reporter Niu, let's withdraw first and give the family some space," said Wu Chengyong.

Li Shuai walked over and said to He Biting first, "I will report to the Armed Forces Guesthouse before 3 pm tomorrow. Before that, you should stay at home and spend your time with your parents."

"Yes!" He Biting gritted her teeth and said.

Niu Jun gently patted He Biting's back and comforted him, "Don't be too sad."

Li Shuai and others left in a car with the officers and soldiers of the armed police squad, giving the rest of the time to the He family for worship and memorial according to local customs.

More people feel shocked in their hearts. The younger generation probably cannot understand what the older generation hides their merits and fame, or they cannot understand what drives them to charge forward and forward.

The next day, when he parted with his parents again, He's father said to He Biting earnestly, "Your grandfather wants me to join the army, but unfortunately he failed to do so. He worked hard in the army and made some achievements to comfort your grandfather's spirit in heaven."

He handed over his daughter to the army again, and He's father and mother watched the car go away.

The group rushed back to Pengcheng overnight. It was already past ten o'clock when they returned to the base. Chen Xueer worked in the company office with lights. After knowing that Li Shuai was back, she quickly sorted out the materials and prepared to have a meeting with Li Shuai.

Li Shuai was talking to Niu Jun downstairs, "You should pay more attention to He Biting's situation, you women can talk about it. Among the thirty recruits, I like her the most. She has the ability to become an excellent combatant."

"I can do it, but you don't have to worry too much. He Biting is a strong girl." Niu Jun said.

"The shooting is about to be launched. The ideological work of the army is very important. After shooting, the second major assessment will be conducted, and the title will be awarded immediately. The work that goes on is important, and it is impossible not to worry." Li Shuai said.

Niu Jun said, "The main thing is that you discussed with Instructor Chen. After all, I am not justified."

"The clerk is the No. 3 leader of the company. You are too legitimate." Li Shuai said.

Niu Jun said, "In short, I will definitely do my best. You must also try your best to cooperate with my shooting work. Public opinion propaganda is also very important, you know that."

"No problem." Li Shuai agreed very readily.

Chen Xueer went downstairs, and her camouflage shoes stepped on the steps and made a light and dull sound.

"Shishou squad leader, Niu Ji." Chen Xueer pressed her voice and spoke in a hurry, "You have come back too timely. There is a very urgent matter. Half an hour ago, the Political Department issued an emergency order, requiring all troops to investigate the social relations of all recruits, with the focus on finding out whether there are Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan relations or overseas relations."

After saying that, she followed the documents and materials in her hand to Li Shuai.

Li Shuai took it and pointed to the second floor company room and said, "Go to the company and say."

The company was brightly lit, and the files of the thirty female recruits were placed on the table one by one. Several of them were turned on. Obviously, Chen Xueer had been doing this after the lights were turned off.

Everyone sat down, Li Shuai looked at the documents carefully, and thought of some things in the past few days, and he quickly understood them. He said, "There is no big problem. When the recruitment was conducted, the relevant departments conducted a complete political review."

He looked at the time and said, "It's 22:30 now. Comrade Niu Jun and I asked the recruits to understand the situation separately and strive to complete it before zero."

The document notice requires that the survey work must be completed today, and time is very tight. If Li Shuai and the others do not return to the team, Chen Xueer will have to complete it independently. The archives cannot fully reflect social relations. Individual heart-to-heart talks must be conducted, and even if necessary, they must call the direct relatives of the recruits, or require local relevant departments to conduct more detailed investigations.

However, according to the spirit of the document notice, what we need to do now is a preliminary survey, and then conduct the next investigation of some of the situations that require in-depth investigation according to the requirements.

As soon as He Biting lay down, several comrades next to her whispered to comfort her, and many of them were not asleep. He Biting's mood was much more stable. After saying a few words to Chen Xiao and others, he asked everyone to calm down and sleep.

It was at this moment that Li Shuai walked in and called He Biting and another female soldier from the first squad. The company was ready, Niu Jun was responsible for asking one person, Li Shuai was responsible for asking one person, and immediately started work. He Biting and the other female soldier were both a little confused, but the serious appearance of the instructors forced them to cheer up.

After Li Shuai and Niu Jun began to ask, He Biting and another female recruit came to their senses. It turned out to be the second political review. This is not wrong. After the recruits join the army, the troops will organize a physical examination. If there are new recruits who seriously do not meet the standards during the physical examination, they will still have to go back. The second political review is generally not needed for the troops. What kind of troops will conduct a second political review on the recruits?

The 404th special force that Li Shuai once served is.

The inquiry speed is very fast. After more than half of the people, half of them have been questioned, and each soldier takes an average of seven or eight minutes. Generally speaking, the chance of several situations prohibited by superiors is extremely low. Local recruitment departments pay special attention to overseas relations when conducting administrative reviews for recruits.

At 2315, Li Shuai and the others completed the inquiry of all the female recruits, and confirmed that no one had overseas relations, no relations between Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and no matter how special attention was paid to family and social relations.

After sorting out the preliminary investigation results, Li Shuai encapsulated it in a cowhide envelope and said to Niu Jun and Chen Xueer, "After resealing all the files and saving them in a confidential cabinet, you can rest first."

"Okay, please rest assured, handsome squad leader, there will be no mistakes." Chen Xueer said.

Soldier archives are very important. If there are no cadres present and are qualified to read archives, Li Shuai cannot unpack the files of female recruits. It is just that the actual operation process will not be too strict. After all, Li Shuai is not an ordinary non-commissioned officer.

Li Shuai walked towards the other side of the government building with a cowhide envelope. Sure enough, the lights in Political Commissar Yuan's office were still on. What surprised him was that Li Zewen was actually waiting downstairs.

As soon as he saw Li Shuai, Li Zewen quickly came up and whispered, "There is getting more and more fierce there. In case of a precaution, the political commissar urgently notified the new recruits to conduct a preliminary survey after the lights were turned off. Now only the female recruits have not yet been handed over the result of the independent platoon. There is a political commissar waiting."

"Is there any new news?" Li Shuai asked.

Li Zewen shook his head and said, "I don't know and can't access information in this regard."

Li Shuai stopped asking and rushed to Political Commissar Yuan's office immediately.

After seeing the results of the survey submitted by him, Political Commissar Yuan was obviously relieved and said, "You came back in time. Less than thirty minutes after the order was just over thirty minutes, the superiors asked to submit this investigation into the shortest time. It came just right, and I can report it now."

"Political Commissar, how serious is the situation?" Li Shuai couldn't help asking.

Political Commissar Yuan smiled and said, "How serious can it be? It's not a big deal. It's mainly because of the stability of the recruits. It's time to award ranks after New Year's Day. Time flies very quickly. Once the ranks are awarded, the training of the recruits will be fully on track. You have to be prepared. The base is already considering equiping you with manpower."

It is obvious that something very important in Li Shuai’s mind is not a big deal at all for Political Commissar Yuan.

"There was a second major assessment before the award of the title. Political Commissar. I have considered it. I planned to put the first hiking marching after the major assessment. I spent a day before New Year's Day to carry out a thirty-kilometer hiking marching." Li Shuai put other things aside and asked in a deep voice.

Political Commissar Yuan started to think about it.

In the past, the hiking marching was carried out after the recruits were lowered. After the new training reform, it was put into six months of training. In other words, after the recruits were trained for six months, the military skills they mastered were almost the same as those of the veterans, and they could immediately form combat effectiveness.

Political Commissar Yuan asked, "Do you mean adding another hiking marches? Or will you hold the hiking marches that will be held in advance before New Year's Day?"

"One time, the standard has been reduced. Instead of carrying a big backpack, the distance has also been reduced from 40 kilometers to 30 kilometers. According to past experience, the recruits will go to the company in more than ten days. In the past, they had to conduct their first hiking marching training shortly after they got off the company. In fact, the current situation is similar to the past. I hope that the army will have more experience during the sixth month of training and assessment." Li Shuai explained his reasons.

Political Commissar Yuan lit a cigarette and took a few sips. After thinking for a while, he said, "I will consider your suggestions carefully. I will submit them to the military training meeting on Monday to discuss it."

"Thank you, Political Commissar." Li Shuai stood up and saluted Political Commissar Yuan and left.
