As the days grew hotter, they finally shed their heavy military coats and donned green Spring and Autumn Military Uniforms.
He had caught the attention of his company back in the New Soldier Company by helping everyone with their studies. As the weather improved and the variety of vegetables increased, his cooking also received recognition from his superiors, especially for the creative ways he prepared the diverse wild vegetables, giving the soldiers a taste of novelty and deepening their impression of him.
However, he never dared to show off when he shouldn't, such as correcting the so-called college students' English grammar and pronunciation mistakes—he knew that in those times, a slight misstep could get someone treated as a "D" agent, so excelling in Chinese and math was enough for him.
