When the soldiers were informed that because of the upcoming New Year, training would be temporarily halted, a group of rough men immediately cheered. Even when told that they needed to prepare for the New Year by cleaning and organizing, nobody was discouraged. Each one excitedly picked up shovels and brooms, heading to the training ground area.
Several vice-company commanders and platoon leaders looked at this group as if they were watching a group of fools, eyes filled with helplessness mixed with concern.
Despite having different feelings, the group's efficiency was very high. In less than a day, they had flattened the surrounding area of the training ground. The uneven dirt was leveled and compacted with stone blocks brought from who knows where. Ling Chengyan was quite satisfied too, thinking that in the countryside, this could be directly used as a threshing ground.
