"Hahaha, I didn't expect such a young soldier to be so sweet-mouthed. Actually, I'm not as amazing as you say. My subordinates are all normal people who can lead troops in battle."

Political Commissar Liu Yuxiang said this when he saw Wang Tiezhu about to shake hands with him, so he went to meet him.

"Is dinner ready? I'm growling with hunger."

Li Yunlong came out of his room and said.

"You must be Captain Li, right? I wonder why you're here? I really admire you."

After saying that, Wang Tiezhu stepped forward and forcibly shook Li Yunlong's hand.

At this time, Li Yunlong still hadn't reacted to what was going on.

"What's going on here? This person looks unfamiliar. Did he just arrive?"

"Yes, I just got here. Hello, Captain Li, my name is Wang Tiezhu, and I was transferred down from higher up yesterday."

"Why did you transfer here? The conditions here aren't as good as those above."

"I know, but I just want to live with the heroes I have always admired and respected, and fight against the Japanese together."

Wang Tiezhu spoke passionately.

"Well, that's good. I don't see anything else, but you're quite good at talking. Let me see what you can do when you're free someday!"

After saying that, Li Yunlong walked towards the kitchen.

Later, when I met Li Jingrong, Gao Mingsheng, and Zhang Yang, I greeted them in the same way.

After lunch, everyone took a nap.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining faintly. Li Yunlong pushed open the door and rubbed his sleepy eyes. He saw Wang Tiezhu lying in the chicken coop.

So he walked over.

At this time, Wang Tiezhu was lying on the ground, staring at the hen intently.

"Wow, your posture is pretty impressive. How are you planning on stealing eggs?"

Li Yunlong's words startled Wang Tiezhu, who was concentrating on the hens.

"Ah, it's Captain Li. No, no, I wouldn't dare steal anything!"

Wang Tiezhu hurriedly explained.

"If you're not stealing eggs, then why are you lying here?"

"Ah, you misunderstood, Captain Li. I'm lying here because I want to observe the hens laying eggs."

As soon as Wang Tiezhu said this, he reminded Li Yunlong.

"Yeah, I always ate eggs before, but I've never seen a hen lay eggs. This kid has an interesting way of thinking."

"It just so happens that today I came to see how hens lay eggs."

Li Yunlong thought with his hands in his pockets.

So Li Yunlong squatted there and watched the hen laying eggs with Wang Tiezhu who was lying on the ground.

After a while, their posture attracted Li Jingrong who was passing by.

He noticed the two people's strange postures, so he stepped forward and asked, "Hey! What are you two doing? Why are you still lying on the ground?"

Because the two were too focused, they were frightened by Li Jingrong's voice.

"Ouch! You scared me to death, Comrade Jingrong. It's nothing. Wang Tiezhu and I were just observing the hens laying eggs."

"Comrade Jingrong, would you like to come and observe with us?"

Li Jingrong learned from modern knowledge that hens usually lay eggs in the evening, so he told them.

"It's useless for you to wait now. You won't be able to see him until evening. Waiting now is just a waste of time."

After hearing this, the two looked at each other.

"I know, I just want to see if the hens will lay eggs this afternoon."

Li Yunlong actually didn't know himself, but he could only say this in order not to embarrass himself in front of the newcomers.

"If not, I'll come back in the evening."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

Li Jingrong was just about to turn around and leave when he was asked by Wang Tiezhu who was standing beside him.

"Hey, Brother Li, how do you know that hens only hatch eggs in the evening?"

Li Jingrong panicked for a moment after hearing this, and then hurried to explain to avoid arousing suspicion.

"Ah! I read two books a few days ago that talked about this. Although I'm not entirely sure, the books said that hens are more likely to lay eggs in the evening."

"Oh, so that's how it is. I'll come back in the evening."

Then Wang Tiezhu scratched his head and left.

Li Jingrong suddenly remembered that Uncle Liu and Sister Zhang were usually responsible for daily affairs, so he wanted to find Uncle Liu and Sister Zhang to ask about the specific time when the hens lay eggs?

"Uncle Liu, Mrs. Zhang, I want to ask you if you know when hens usually lay eggs."

It would have been fine if they hadn't asked this question, but this question made Uncle Liu and Mrs. Zhang, who were busy, stop what they were doing and think about it carefully.

After a while, Uncle Liu said.

"I really haven't noticed this before. I just know there are new eggs in the chicken coop every other day."

"And I usually take out all the eggs around 9 o'clock in the evening to clean them up so they will be ready for breakfast the next morning."

Mrs. Zhang on the other side also shook her head, not knowing the exact time.

"How about you and I go to the chicken coop together in the evening to take a look?"

At this time, Political Commissar Liu Yuxiang came in after hearing the conversation outside.

"Okay, I also want to see when the hens in the chicken coop lay eggs."

"Commissar? Do you want to come too?"

Li Jingrong asked in confusion when he saw Political Commissar Liu Yuxiang come in.

"Hahaha, I've lived to this age, and I've never seen a hen lay an egg. How about we get together in a group tonight?"

"Okay, then I'll go ask Zhang Yang and Captain Gao and the others."

After saying that, Li Jingrong pushed the door open and walked out.

After Li Jingrong's repeated persuasion, Zhang Yang and Gao Mingsheng both agreed to follow him to observe.

So in the evening, everyone gathered in front of the chicken coop.

"Hush, let's keep our voices down and don't disturb the hen. If she can't lay eggs, we won't have anything to eat for breakfast tomorrow morning."

Uncle Liu said in a low voice.

Then the group waited quietly.

After a while, the hen stood up and lay motionless, as if ready to lay eggs.

"Look, the hen seems to be ready to lay eggs. Let's not disturb it now. Let it lay the eggs quietly."

The group of people stared at the hen's butt, and soon saw an egg fall under the hen's butt.

Everyone was very happy after seeing this scene.

After a while, the hen laid four or five eggs, so Yunlong prepared to get up and take them.

"....Hey, don't go yet, look!"

As Li Jingrong spoke, everyone's attention turned to the hen again, and they saw the hen sitting on the eggs in the chicken coop.

"It's preparing to hatch chicks."

"Then if it hatches chicks, won't they be able to continue laying eggs when they grow up?"

Wang Tiezhu asked about the system.

"Of course. It's just like human reproduction."

Li Jingrong looked at the time and found that it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

"Then let's all go back first. It takes at least one night for the hen to hatch the chicks. We'll come back and observe tomorrow morning."

Li Jingrong gestured to everyone.

Then everyone evacuated and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Early the next morning, everyone got up just to see if any chicks had hatched.

So everyone came to the chicken coop early to observe, just like last night.

I saw the eggshell slowly breaking.

"Look, it's coming out, it's coming out!"

Everyone watched quietly as the eggshell broke.

I saw a small head popping out from inside, it was yellow and very small.

Then the chicks' cries were heard, and then the eggshells broke one by one, and soon four or five chicks came out.

"Ah, this little chick is really nice, it's very cute."

Wang Tiezhu said.

"This is truly amazing! Not only is it edible, but it can also hatch chicks. I'm really learning something new."

"Okay, now that everyone has seen what they need to see, let's go about our business and let these newly born chicks grow up slowly."

Political Commissar Liu Yuxiang said.

Then everyone went about their own business.

After lunch, Li Yunlong was drinking in his room when Wang Tiezhu pushed the door open.

"Captain Li, I want to discuss something with you."

"Hmm? What's up? Sit down and talk."

Li Yunlong asked while drinking.

"I...I want to join the army!"

As soon as Wang Tiezhu finished speaking, Li Yunlong excitedly spat out the wine.

"What? You want to join the army?"

As Li Yunlong spoke, he put the wine aside.

"Yes! I came here just to join the army."

"So what are your specialties? Or what can you do?"

Li Yunlong asked.

"I can shoot a gun, like what's called a sniper rifle, right?"

Wang Tiezhu quickly replied.

"Hey! Sniper rifle? Are you kidding me? I haven't even seen you touch a pistol, and now you're telling me you can shoot a sniper rifle?"

"It's true, Captain Li. Everyone up there knows it. I've used a sniper rifle up there before, and they all know I can do it. If you don't believe me, I'll give it a try this afternoon."

Wang Tiezhu said confidently.

"This guy doesn't look like someone who can shoot a gun. He looks silly. Is what he said true? But it doesn't seem false."

"Since he said so, he must know something. He can't just say he has nothing to do and comes here to joke around."

"It seems that it is really necessary to let him try it this afternoon."

"It just so happens that the troops are short of snipers."

Li Yunlong was thinking in his mind.

"Captain Li? Captain Li?"

"Ah! I'm fine. Okay, then, come with me to the playground this afternoon for some training. I'll see how good you are and then I'll consider whether to let you join the army."

As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, Wang Tiezhu excitedly stepped forward and hugged Li Yunlong.

"Thank you, Captain Li! Thank you, Captain Li!"

This made Li Yunlong confused and he didn't know what to do.

Li Yunlong slowly pushed him away.

"Don't be too happy, kid. We haven't even tried it yet. If you don't fight well, I won't agree."

"Don't worry, Captain Li, I will definitely not let you down. Just wait and see."

"Okay, then you go back first. I'll call you in the afternoon."

"Well, alright, I'll be leaving now, Captain Li."

Li Yunlong waved to him and then continued drinking, while Wang Tiezhu pushed the door open and walked out.

In the afternoon, the sunlight shines gently on the playground, making it look particularly red.

Li Yunlong came to the door of Wang Tiezhu's room and knocked on it.
