Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 599: Ordered to Cheat

Meng Zhiyuan looked at the two of them, walked over, and said with a smile: "Sure! Every year our regiment has a big competition, you can sign up for me then! See if you can get a place."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole raised his eyebrows.

He will definitely participate in this!
He had heard Feng Guanhua talk about various opportunities to make meritorious service.

The big competition is one of them.

The first place winner in a single event of the Production and Construction Corps' competition can receive second-class merit.

He even won first-class and special-class merits in major military region competitions.

Is it difficult to make meritorious service?
Many veterans who have served for more than ten years may only have one third-class merit, and this third-class merit is given to them because they have served in the army for a long time and the company gave them the third-class merit because of their hard work and great contributions.

The main purpose is to get more severance pay when you retire and to get extra points when you are resettled.

Zhang Xuesong said directly: "What month does it start? I wonder if I can get a chance to win if I train harder."

He still has this self-awareness.

There are so many hidden talents in the army. Compared with me, those people are just animals.

He would wake up with a smile if he could get a rank.

Seeing this, Meng Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Every year at the end of October, there will be a competition for the entire army. There will be a selection process at that time. You can give it a try."

The one he had his eyes on was Yang Xiaole.

Although Zhang Xuesong is excellent, he is not good enough. Not to mention in the Corps, it is hard to say whether he can rank high even in the company.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Platoon Leader, sign me up when the time comes. I will bring honor to our regiment!"

Hearing this, Meng Zhiyuan smiled.

He is optimistic about Yang Xiaole, but he doesn't have a comprehensive understanding of him. The result will only be known after further training.

……

"Ouch! It hurts me so much!"

As time went by, the troops came back one after another.

Liu Bing sat on the ground, hugging his feet and feeling around.

Yang Xiaole took a look and saw that it was red, but not injured.

And quite a few people fell down and were covered in dust.

After all, it was my first time running so late at night, so accidents were bound to happen.

"Dabao! Are you okay?"

Xu Min looked at Xu Jinbu's miserable appearance and came over to see him with heartache.

But these words made everyone burst into laughter.

Xu Jinbu's face flushed red, and he said loudly to Xu Min: "Sister, I am a soldier now, you don't need to care about me anymore. Didn't I tell you not to call me by my nickname?"

Xu Min saw that he was fine and said, "I was worried about you and forgot about it!"

Looking at the others, he felt that this would hurt his brother's face, so he said, "Okay, I'll go first!"

Then he left.

At this time, men and women were mixed together and there was no gathering.

"Dabao! Are you okay?"

Li Jianguo called out in a delicate voice and came over to pretend to check his body.

Xu Jinbu was so angry.

She pushed him away and said, "Get lost!"

Then he went to hide aside.

Leaving behind a group of people laughing.

Life in the army is boring, so any funny thing will be magnified infinitely and can be talked about for a long time.

It is estimated that Xu Jinbu will keep the name "Dabao" until he retires from the army.

With Liu Bing's last group arriving, everyone in the class was finally present.

You don’t have to wait for others, you can lead the team back on your own.

"gather!"

Yang Xiaole shouted and everyone gathered quickly.

After gathering, I took everyone back to the dormitory.

When you come back, you can light the lamp.

The whole house was in a mess and everyone started looking for their things. Many people wore the wrong shoes and clothes.

Started complaining there.

"Damn it! Where are my socks?"

Zhao Gang looked at his fellow villager Song Guoqiang, complaining there, and pulled off his socks.

He threw it over again: "Wash it for me later."

Such scenes often occur in the house.

Yang Xiaole looked at the time. It was almost three o'clock and there was not much time left before the gathering.

It’s definitely too late to catch up on some sleep.

Everyone was there tidying up their affairs.

New recruits are generally slow in tidying up their personal chores, so many of them don't brush their teeth or wash their faces, and many of them get up half an hour in advance to fold their quilts.

Today is early.

Yang Xiaole folded the quilt into a tofu quilt and placed it there.

Although it was the quilt at home, he still folded it into a tofu block.

After finishing the work, I saw Zhang Xuesong coming back embarrassedly.

Because he was fulfilling his promise to fetch water for the class to wash their faces, but unfortunately there was not much water left in the bucket when he came back.

"Um... monitor, wait until the morning class is over, and I'll come back to get some water!"

Zhang Xuesong looked at him awkwardly.

Yang Xiaole smiled indifferently: "Okay!"

It was obvious that he had never done farm work before, as he spilled most of the water after fetching it.

Zhang Xuesong was full of gratitude when he heard this.

The main reason is that there is not enough time.

After a while, Meng Zhiyuan came over.

Looking at the quilts folded in the class, he nodded and said, "Well, although they are not folded very well, at least they look good. The quilts and other things will arrive this week, and they will all be folded into tofu blocks for me by then."

After some comments and some precautions, the horn sounded.

Hearing the sound, I hurried to gather for morning class.

……

After a few days, everyone had temporarily adapted to the basic life in the army.

The deputy instructor didn’t come to cause trouble!
On Sunday morning, the trumpet was blown half an hour later than usual.

Sundays are a day off, but not completely free.

The work and rest schedule still needs to follow the previous work and rest schedule of the army, but the training volume does not require such a large amount.

As the wakeup call sounded, everyone got up.

Morning classes are a must.

For half an hour, we lined up and the company commander gave a speech.

Then it was disbanded.

"Yang Xiaole! Zheng Guowei!"

While thinking, Meng Zhiyuan shouted to Yang Xiaole.

Yang Xiaole was about to lead his men away, but stopped when he heard the words, thinking that they were going to hunt wild boars.

"Here! (Here~)"

The two agreed.

"Your uniforms, blankets, and guns have all arrived. Everyone in your squad, please follow me to the quartermaster's office and get your things back!"

Meng Zhiyuan said something to him.

Everyone was excited when they heard this.

military uniform!

Many of them were wearing "military uniforms", but they were imitations and slightly different in color from real uniforms.

Yang Xiaole agreed and followed Meng Zhiyuan to the logistics warehouse with his men.

The girls naturally came over as well.

They immediately started chatting there with laughter.

Yang Xiaole didn't have time to chat with these people, so he followed Meng Zhiyuan to register and get his things.

More than clothes, quilts and guns.

There are also some toiletries.

All tied together.

The guns come in a box and can be carried by two people.

Yang Xiaole arranged people to carry guns, quilts and piles of clothes.

An hour later, the inventory was completed and everyone happily returned to the dormitory with their belongings.

"Quick, look at the gun! Quick!"

Everyone can't wait.

Yang Xiaole ignored these people and said, "Wait a minute, sort out the daily necessities, clothes and blankets first, and then move the gun later."

After hearing this, everyone could only look at the gun on the ground in disappointment.

Come and distribute the things. Each person gets a set of quilts and mattresses, a set of summer military uniforms, a pure white sweatshirt, a pair of Jiefang brand sneakers, a bar of soap, toothpaste, a towel...

Soon, all the things were divided up.

"It's just one set! How can I change it? Can I wash it and change my own clothes?"

Xu Jinbu was excited at first, and then he complained.

Zhang Xuesong hit him there, "You're still thinking about changing? You're dreaming! The amount of training every day is not that heavy now, so you still have time to wash clothes and take a shower. When you start physical training next week, you'll know. I guarantee you won't want to wash clothes or take a shower for a week."

"Ah? Isn't that really dirty?"

"That can't be helped! If you wash it, it won't dry the next day and it will affect your training! Of course, if you have the energy, you can wash it. I guess you won't even want to wash it by then."

Zhang Xuesong was muttering there.

With a lot of physical training and emergency gatherings from time to time, I basically have no energy to do laundry.

"Isn't this enough training? I'm losing a layer of skin!"

Liu Bing also wailed!
In five days, except for Yang Xiaole, no one was white, and everyone's neck had shed a layer of skin.

Zhang Xuesong glanced at him and said, "This is just a big training! Wait, you will know later. On Sunday, the squad leader will organize everyone to wash clothes."

He has been in the army, so he naturally knows the situation.

But soon his words were forgotten.

Military uniform!
Finally put it on.

They measured their sizes and exchanged them with each other.

Yang Xiaole directly found a set of clothes that suited him and changed into them.

The dress is thin enough, but still thick.

There are no training uniforms yet. There is one set of military uniforms for the entire summer, one set of spring and autumn uniforms, and one set of winter uniforms.

There are three sets in total.

"Report to the squad leader!"

Xu Jinbu put on his clothes and saluted with a smile.

Yang Xiaole also saluted back with a smile: "Not bad, it looks good!"

"hey-hey!"

Xu Jinbu was tidying up his clothes in a rare manner.

Yang Xiaole looked at the happy crowd and said, "Mark the clothes, quilts, and the backpack straps for packing the quilts. Don't take someone else's when you can't find your own."

He'd better take precautions in advance.

After all, this kind of thing can happen easily.

After they were basically dressed, Xu Jinbu looked at the gun and said, "Squad leader, when will we get the guns?"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole came to the wooden box and opened it.

It was wrapped in butter paper.

He took out one and opened it to reveal the true appearance inside.

A Type 56 rifle covered with butter!
"Hey! So much oil! How do I use it?"

Someone saw something and muttered.

Yang Xiaole said, "This is the oil that was applied for preservation. We need to get rid of it! Ask the platoon leader if we can use hot water to clean it. This way it will be easier to clean."

He had seen the matter of boiling guns in some military memoirs in his previous life.

Explanation is OK.

At least it shows that these guns are new and not second-hand ones.

But it is true that they are a border defense company after all, and are different from the educated youth on the farm and the rural militia.

There are exactly 11 in a box!
It was obvious that they had been divided before, because one box could hold 28 rifles.

It's written on the box.

"Wait for the platoon leader to come over! See what he says!"

Yang Xiaole put down the gun and spoke to everyone.

Everyone was a little anxious, but the squad leader said that they could only wait, after all, the gun was such an important matter.

Then he fiddled with the clothes curiously!

After a while, Meng Zhiyuan came back.

"Platoon leader!"

Seeing him coming, Yang Xiaole greeted him.

Meng Zhiyuan nodded, then smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you impatient?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

How can I not be anxious?

"Okay, divide the guns, wipe the grease off the guns, and remember, from now on this gun is your life and your wife, you are not allowed to damage it!"

Hearing the gun is my wife.

Everyone was laughing there.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole opened the box again and asked, "Platoon Leader, there is butter all over it. Can we boil it in hot water? We don't need to use such a high temperature, so as not to damage the performance of the gun. Then take it out and wipe it clean quickly."

Hearing this, Meng Zhiyuan nodded gently: "Okay, the company commander and his men have done this before, let's think of a way to get some hot water."

After that, he said to him, "Give them this gun. The platoon leader is waiting for you in the square. Go there and I'll get you your gun!"

Yang Xiaole looked at the situation and nodded gently: "Okay, I'll go over first. I'll make sure you guys can eat pork today."

Meng Zhiyuan smiled when he heard this: "That's all thanks to you!"

"Zhao Gang!"

"To!"

"I'm leaving first, you take care of this for a while!"

Yang Xiaole explained to Zhao Gang!
Seeing that the other party agreed, he went out directly without changing clothes.

After coming out, go straight to the square.

There are ten old acquaintances here at this time.

The leader was none other than Platoon Leader Gao Lin, who was led by squad leader Xu Jin and his squad, including Liu Shengli.

"Platoon Leader Gao!"

After Yang Xiaole came over, he saluted him.

The other party replied with a smile: "Did Platoon Leader Meng tell you?"

"Yes, I told you, we're going to hunt wild boars later!"

Then he looked at it and smiled, "Where's the gun?"

Hearing this, Gao Lin gestured to Xu Jin and handed him a Type 56 pistol.

"There are ten bullets in there! Use them sparingly!"

Yang Xiaole took it, tried it a little, and then smiled and said, "It works!"

Then he said, "Platoon Leader Gao, are you coming over too?"

"Well, I'll go too! You'll be divided into groups of two and I'll assign you an area of ​​responsibility. Search in that direction! If you can't find it, forget it."

Yang Xiaole nodded.

Seeing this, Xu Jin said, "You and Liu Shengli should go together. You two should get to know each other better!"

This is not training, so there is no need to be so serious.

Yang Xiaole looked at Liu Shengli who was grinning at him in the back row, and nodded with a smile.

"Then I'll go over there!"

After saying hello, he came and stood next to Liu Shengli.

Seeing this, Gao Lin began to assign tasks.

Yang Xiaole was assigned a task to go to the riverside and was given three big white steamed buns.

This is to prepare not to come back at noon.

After the tasks were assigned, they split into two directions, with a total of 12 people, six people on each side.

Xu Jin led three groups in one direction, while platoon leader Gao Lin led one person to another direction, all surrounding the farm.

"I've been so exhausted from training these past few days that I don't even have time to look for you!"

Yang Xiaole smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay! Take me with you later! I don't know the roads nearby."

"Hey, don't worry, I won't lose it."

Although the others were not very familiar with the place, they had at least been there for more than half a month and were all asking questions.

Everyone was walking and chatting.

Halfway through the journey, two people left.

After walking for a while, Xu Jin said, "Yang Xiaole, follow Liu Shengli. Just stay in this area. Don't run too far. Also, be careful of the nearby swamps. Don't chase rabbits or pheasants if you see them."

Yang Xiaole nodded after hearing this: "Okay, got it."

After giving the instructions, Xu Jin took his men away.

Yang Xiaole and the other person began to grope around in the nearby bushes.

The two walked and talked.

There were some wild animals nearby, but they ran away when they heard the noise.

The two wandered around for half an hour but didn't see any wild boar.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Yang Xiaole shouted with a frown.

"what happened?"

Liu Shengli shouted in a low voice and looked around: "Is there something?"
