Chapter 1428: Chapter 1428: Primary Task 4

Upon hearing that it was a special approval from the old chief, a few young soldiers rubbed their heads and chuckled.

Gradually, more and more people arrived to report for duty.

Feng Qingxue glanced around and then moved to the shade of a tree to make way for others, quietly observing for a moment. No matter how she looked, it didn’t seem like there were over ten thousand people reporting. She asked Ping Zhengkai in a low voice, "How many students were enrolled this year? Have you guys inquired about it?"

"We’ve inquired!" Coming from the troops, they all believe in knowing the enemy and oneself, Ping Zhengkai replied, "We found out that this year there are over two thousand students in total, with more than one thousand six hundred in the main campus and several hundred in branch campuses. Although most departments have enrolled students, some have not, with military students primarily in the foreign language departments."

"Why is that? Why are they all arranged in the foreign language departments?" Feng Qingxue felt it was very strange.

"I know this," Nie Jianguo raised his hand, "It’s to promote foreign language shouting within the troops and to train intelligence personnel. How can we soldiers gather foreign intelligence if we don’t understand foreign languages?"

Ping Zhengkai nodded in agreement, "Not only the Spanish department, but nine-tenths of the students in the Eastern languages and Russian departments are our military students as well."

Feng Qingxue suddenly understood.

Although she lived in the military compound, she wasn’t in the army itself, and the difference in arms meant her knowledge was limited.

The staff responsible for greeting the students, who were members of the propaganda and military propaganda teams, witnessed this scene and heard their conversation. They couldn’t help but exchange glances, seemingly not expecting Feng Qingxue, who had received special approval from the old chief to enter the academy, to actually be a revolutionary comrade of the Viva Army commander, which was rather extraordinary.

A young female soldier from the military propaganda team whispered: "I heard that Comrade Feng Qingxue was once a medic who was awarded a first-class merit, but later retired due to illness. The old chief wanted her to rejoin the troops as soon as possible. We didn’t expect her to come to study instead."

The young female soldier by her side was stunned, "This Feng Qingxue is that Feng Qingxue? I had no idea."

In the beginning, many people thought it was just a coincidence of names.

The military propaganda team is attached to two units stationed in the Capital; since large military districts exchange information, news travels fast.

After that, no one spoke until finally someone opened up in a low voice: "Later on, when assigning cleaning duties to the students, let’s arrange some lighter tasks for Qingxue, not because it’s unfair, but because Qingxue retired due to illness and is definitely not fully recovered. We need to care for comrades who are often sick."

Everyone nodded in agreement, "Don’t worry, we understand."

Due to various damages over the years, Capital University was a scene of dilapidation everywhere, with heaps of trash and buzzing flies and mosquitoes. The doors, windows, podiums, and blackboards were all broken.

Therefore, the primary task for Feng Qingxue and her fellow new students upon enrollment was cleaning!

This task was the responsibility of the propaganda and military propaganda teams, and all the reporting students were organized according to military system into squads, platoons, and companies, with squad leaders being students, some platoon leaders being students or faculty, but company leaders were all from propaganda teams. The company leader responsible for Feng Qingxue’s unit was Zhou Haiyan, the female soldier who mentioned arranging lighter tasks for Feng Qingxue.

Zhou Haiyan assigned Feng Qingxue tasks such as sweeping and cleaning blackboards, whereas repairs of doors and windows, and garbage transportation were given to the male soldiers in the company. Of course, there were some female soldiers who professed gender equality and toiled at the forefront of labor, busy and in high spirits.

...After researching data until my head is on fire, I have unfortunately caught a cold early in the morning. I must quickly rehydrate to prevent the need for a prolonged IV drip. I will continue to update tonight, probably around nine o’clock.
