Chapter 16 Becoming a Soldier for the Object
Although I have been to the recruit camp for 11 days, many people at most know each other's names and hometowns when introducing themselves at the class meeting, which is not a deep understanding.
The training schedule after the start of the training was full, with only one and a half hours of rest at noon. Everyone was eager to squeeze out some time from their teeth to sleep well. At night, they were so tired that they returned to the queue room and saw the bed, they pounced on it like a prostitute who saw a bitch and didn't think about it. Who has time to chat?
What's more, the squad leader and platoon leader live in a large yard, and they are afraid that the walls will be heard if they want to talk about private things.
On the contrary, the current wash period has become the only free time for the recruits in the day.
Everyone is inevitably curious, especially the recruits.
Hearing Zhuangyan raised his words and asked about the reason for joining the army, the big guy's interest was like ignited gasoline, and the gossip heart blew up and burned.
"Yes, Lao Guo, tell me, why are you here to join the army?"
"Do you want to take the military academy or go back to arrange your job after three years?"
"Tell me, don't be shy, we are all comrades, so I won't laugh at you."
It is rare that Guo Xiangyang has the natural sincerity of a Shandong person. He blushed for a while, scratched his huge head, and pressed his voice down lower than that of a mosquito: "I..."
At this point, he stopped.
The recruits felt uncomfortable as if they were scratching their heads.
Someone couldn't help but cheer: "It's not that you were asking you to have a baby, you have to wait for a long time to say something?"
"Yes, yes, say it quickly, our necks are all long."
Unable to resist everyone's urging, Guo Xiangyang gritted his teeth and said, "My partner is the most handsome person... I want me to be a soldier and go back to marry her in a military uniform..."
"Wow!"
"Ao!"
The recruits suddenly screamed.
Zhuang Yan couldn't help but tease Guo Xiangyang and said, "Old Guo, Lao Guo, I respect the honesty and simple people of Shandong people. You kid look stupid and stupid. I didn't expect that you were full of colorful things. How old are you, and you have a marriage partner?"
Guo Xiangyang blushed and retorted: "I am eighteen this year, and I have been in the army for three years and have returned to 21 years. It's already considered late for me to get married in the village!"
Everyone bent over with laughter.
This happy and short time lasts until breakfast begins and then stops.
After returning to the queue after breakfast, the recruits became nervous again.
Because this is the time to check for housework.
When you come back from training every day, you must first fold the housework and then wash it.
Whenever I return to the garage after breakfast, it is the time when the squad leader checks the internal hygiene.
Since the start of training, the requirements for internal hygiene have become increasingly nitpicious.
There should be no wrinkles on the quilt. The surface of the quilt must be straight, the angle of the quilt must be 90 degrees, and the length of the creases on the upper and lower sides of the quilt must be consistent. If you do not fold well, you will be punished.
If the housework check in the morning does not meet the requirements, then all rest hours after lunch will be cancelled. In order not to affect the rest of qualified recruits, the unqualified person can only move the quilt to the basketball court in front of the queue to fold it until the squad leader passes the acceptance.
Every noon, there is always a lively scene on the basketball court in front of the line-up.
Dozens of new recruits lined up in rows, holding the quilt and tinkering on the ground. After tinkering, they carefully moved the quilt into the queuing room for the squad leader to check.
Whenever someone completes his “work” and walks into the queue, the others on the blue court will stretch their necks and look towards the window.
After a few minutes, if there is no movement, you will prove to be qualified and pass the test.
If you fail, the failing quilt will fly out of the open window like a bird with wings and then fall back onto the court.
A few seconds later, a recruit walked out of the platoon dejectedly, returned to the basketball court to pick up his cup, and continued to sit on the ground toss...
On the road outside the camp, I occasionally walked by some local people. I looked at the silly soldiers from a distance from Jiulixiang, less than one meter high, and then laughed and left.
This strict rule made Zhuang Yan feel extremely uncomfortable, and even felt that this was too inhumane.
He felt as if he had no dignity at all, but was just a machine that obeyed orders. He knew very clearly that soldiers were actually a combat machine and needed this determination and consciousness to obey orders completely.
Today's internal affairs inspection, Zhuangyan still failed.
This is not the most surprising thing. In fact, few recruits in a platoon can pass the test, and they can count it clearly with just one finger on the hand.
What surprised him the most was that Guo Xiangyang actually passed the test!
I felt incredibly solemn to Guo Xiangyang's window, and walked around the quilt as neat as tofu for a few times. I was so impressed that I immediately smoked and learned from the scriptures: "Old Guo, come one! Awesome! Awesome! How did I fold it?"
Guo Xiangyang smiled with a white big teeth on his mouth, and was sure that there was no squad leader next to him, and then he said carefully: "Hey! It's amazing! I won't tell you, hey!"
Zhuang Yan suddenly felt fooled.
Could it be that this kid stuffed cardboard into the quilt?
It is just a violation of operational regulations and is not allowed.
In a hurry, he reached out to touch it, trying to see what was in the quilt, but as soon as his hand touched the quilt, he immediately screamed: "Wet!"
Only then did he realize that the reason why the quilt is so neat is not that it has cardboard placed, but that the surface of the quilt is very wet.
The wet quilts are easier to fold, which is why Guo Xiangyang suddenly made rapid progress in his internal affairs.
Guo Xiangyang was immediately panicked, covered his solemn mouth with one hand, and made a silent expression: "Shengyan, don't yell! I say, I confess..."
It turned out that Guo Xiangyang had tasted enough of folding quilts on the basketball court under the sun at noon. After thinking hard, he came up with a solution. After dinner, he immediately made a bowl of water with a rice plate. Before the squad leader was still having breakfast, he wet the quilt noodles a little before he returned to the queuing room, and then folded them again.
It is definitely much easier to fold a wet quilt than a dry quilt. These distinctive water chestnuts and folds are all due to wetness.
Guo Xiangyang also said that he should try to wear clothes to sleep at night, avoid taking off the quilt, placing it under his body and pressing it, and then covering his coat, the pressed quilt-core cotton will become hard and solid, which is definitely easy to fold.
Zhuangyan seemed to have obtained the true scriptures, and she immediately smiled.
"Okay, I will definitely learn from you, Lao Guo tomorrow!"
Xu Xingguo, who had been listening with his ears, suddenly said: "It's really good to be a soldier. You are taking advantage of the opportunity to do evil things!"
Zhuang Yan rolled her eyes disapprovingly, and said unconvincedly: "Comrade Xu Dianxing, you have a high awareness, and my level is low, so you can only do this evil thing!"
Chapter completed!
