After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 735: Chapter 493: Goodbye, 2008!_3

Thinking about it, Fang Huai gathered up the bags in his hands, freed one to stop his mom’s shoulder, and smiled,

"To show my true intentions, buying these bracelets and necklaces won’t cut it. Come on, I’ll take you to buy them."

...

The firecracker sounds mark the end of the year, a warm spring breeze carries with it Tusu wine.

Good news: tomorrow is New Year’s.

Bad news: this afternoon, the eighth Five Kilometers test of winter training.

At the Sports Field, snowflakes gently falling, there stood a group of muscular men at the starting line of the Five Kilometers, wearing short sleeves, shaking their hands and feet as they carried 6.8L full air tanks on their backs.

They didn’t want to wear short sleeves either.

But wearing too much would mean they couldn’t achieve good results, and they’d get scolded later as well.

"F*cking Demon King Fang! I knew half a year ago that this day would come, but damn, it’s come so fast!"

"A Five Kilometers test the day before Chinese New Year, Captain Fang has lost all his humanity! Hey, guess what, will there be something even more inhuman tomorrow?"

"Hey, Chinese New Year? Don’t get your hopes up, in Demon King Fang’s eyes, today is just the eighth week of winter training! If you want to know what he’s up to, just open up the work plan, whatever is normal, that’s what we’ll do!"

"Damn... From the day I came, Captain Fang said Second Squadron was busy, and damn, we really are busy!"

As everyone was grumbling, a voice came from behind.

"Hey, what are you talking about? The State mandates a holiday on the 25th of January for Lunar New Year’s Eve. Today is the 24th, a working day! Is it me who’s not letting you off? With all this talk, do you still want to go out tomorrow?"

Fang Huai approached with a scolding tone, holding a stopwatch.

At those words, everyone perked up.

"Captain Fang! We’re going out tomorrow? What for?" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Fang Huai grinned, "Taking you guys to do something every man loves! Hint in one word! Fireworks!"

"Damn...it can’t be..."

Sixty garlic-like heads looked up together, smirking suggestively.

Whether it’s a bunch of guys or girls, when one side gathers together, they love to talk about something racy.

Fang Huai’s face twitched, "Not shooting off fireworks! Setting off fireworks!"

"Tch..." Again, in unison.

Fang Huai chuckled and threw in a racy comment, "Don’t want to set them off, huh? Forget it, I’d rather donate to needy female college students than take a bunch of monks to watch fireworks."

Now everyone’s expression changed.

"Want to! Of course, we want to! Captain Fang, it’s been years since I’ve set off fireworks!"

"Yeah! They banned them in my town even before I enlisted. Captain Fang, the city won’t let you set off fireworks, right?"

Fang Huai smiled, "They won’t let you set off? Where do you think the city’s New Year’s fireworks come from? I’ve already coordinated with the authorities! If there’s no police, after we eat tomorrow, we’ll go on duty at the government-designated fireworks area! Then we can watch the government’s big fireworks and set off our own! I particularly bought large fireworks that can go really high! We can set them off for the whole city to see!"

Wow.

What a blast!

"Captain Fang is awesome!"

Just as everyone was getting excited, Fang Huai raised his hand and said,

"Everyone’s aware of their scores from the last Five Kilometers test with the air tanks, right? This time, you must surpass that! Incorporate the skills your previous coaches have taught us into your steps! I see some of you are still too reckless, think about how to exert force, how to breathe, how to adjust your strength – use your brain!

Today, you challenge yourselves! If there’s no improvement, you’ll lose the right to set off fireworks! Tomorrow, you can only watch, not touch!

Get ready, on your marks, start!"

His last sentence came without any warning: the stopwatch beeped sharply, jarringly loud in the silence.

Everyone was stunned for at least two seconds.

"Captain Fang... it’s started?"

Fang Huai nodded with a smile.

"Damn! Sneaky bastard!"

"Run!"

Like a group of wild boars released from their pens, they charged into the wind.

Fang Huai glanced at his stopwatch and stepped forward as well.

The New Year had come.

Let’s say goodbye to this splendid year with a refreshing sprint.

Goodbye, 2008!
