The strongest rocket soldier

Chapter 4 House Rules, Quilting
The recruits on the first few beds who arrived in the early batch put on their clothes and hats nervously. Ding Xiaojun was not very used to it, so he quickly put on his clothes and hats together, and when he was dressed, he followed the others to the door to gather.

"You three, it's overtime, do 20 push-ups, get ready!" The recruit squad leader yelled at the three of them including Ding Xiaojun.

The three climbed down and began to do push-ups. Ding Xiaojun was doing push-ups and said loudly: "Squad leader, we definitely didn't exceed 3 minutes, and we came here, and you didn't tell us that much."

"Speak in the queue, you have to make a report first, and add 10 push-ups."

The recruit squad leader looked down at the three people on the ground again and said: "I hate people who don't understand the rules the most. In this class, if I say exceeding the rules, it means exceeding. There is no reason, understand?"

"Understood." The three whispered.

"The voice is so low, haven't you eaten?"

"Understood." The three said loudly.

"Is that right? This is what looks like a soldier."

"Report." Ding Xiaojun obviously felt blocked.

"Why is it you again, tell me." The recruit squad leader was obviously a little angry.

"Report to the monitor, we really haven't eaten yet."

"Oh." The third squad leader was taken aback for a moment.He looked at Ding Xiaojun again: "I dare to tell the truth. I like soldiers who tell the truth. I'm adding 20 push-ups."

The other two had done 20 push-ups and reported "report, done".

"Okay, stand up and enter the queue."

The third squad leader turned around and walked in front of Ding Xiaojun, squatted down, and looked at Ding Xiaojun who was still doing push-ups: "Do you know why you were fined to do 20 push-ups?"

"Report, I don't know." Although Ding Xiaojun was angry, he still held back.

"Then I'll tell you, listen clearly, you talk too much nonsense, do you understand?"

"Report, I don't understand."

"If it weren't for the rules that you are not allowed to beat recruits, I would really fucking want to beat you."

"Hey, third child, isn't it good? That new recruit is a bit fierce, and his personality is a little too aggressive. It should be because he doesn't fit your horoscope. Otherwise, switch to my class."

"First squad leader, this soldier is assigned by the company commander. You can change it if you say so, go and go, if it's cool, stay there." The third squad leader obviously showed a proud look on his face.

'call out! ' Another whistle sounded.

"A row, assemble."

"Squad Three, turn right, run away, one two one... stand still." Under the leadership of the squad leader, Class Three came to the assembly area.

A platoon leader walked to the front of the queue, and the first squad leader ordered: "Look to the right."

Then there was the sound of small footsteps in the queue.

"Look ahead, take a break." The first squad leader ran towards the long row and saluted: "Report to the platoon leader, the first row is assembled before morning exercises, please give instructions."

"Get out!" The platoon leader simply said two words. The first squad leader saluted next time. After the platoon leader returned the salute, he ran to the front of the queue again, "Stand at attention, turn right, target the playground, and run."

The queue soon arrived at the big playground along the cement road in the camp, and ran neatly around the playground track.

After a full ten laps, most people obviously felt that their legs were weak. At this time, the squad leader gave the order to walk in unison, brought the queue back, and reported to the platoon leader once they arrived at the new barracks area.

"Report to the platoon leader, a row of morning exercises is over, please give instructions."

"Bring them back from each class."

"Relax, stand at attention, each squad will bring them back." The first squad leader ordered in front of the queue.

"Squad Three, turn left and run."

Soon after returning to the third class, the class leader began to speak: "Today, three new recruits have been added to the class. The staff is already full. Now, let's start the first subject of recruits, 'Household'. You follow me to memorize."

"Article [-] of the Internal Affairs Regulations. In order to standardize the internal affairs system of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and strengthen internal affairs construction, this regulation is formulated in accordance with relevant laws and the actual situation of army building..."

"You have to memorize these internal affairs regulations for me. As long as you are still in the army for a day, you must memorize them by heart and never forget them. From today onwards, all the time you spend in training, except for eating and sleeping, will be used to memorize the regulations. Now, let me teach you how to fold the quilt first."

"Everyone take down the quilt and spread it on the ground, watch how I do it, first fold the quilt in three vertically, then take out your little stools, press it on the folded place and push it, you have to remember, the so-called" Chopping wood is not afraid of the sharpener. "The third squad leader said while demonstrating.

"If you want to fold the quilt well, the first thing is to push the quilt firmly. The time for pushing the quilt cannot be completed overnight. This process is also long. It will accompany your entire life as a recruit, and it is even possible that you will not be able to do so in a row. Still have to continue. Only when the whole quilt is flat, thick, wrinkle-free, and can be perfectly combined with your quilt cover, remember?"

"remember."

Everyone who was pushing the quilt said in unison.

"After the quilt is pushed and pressed, it needs to be folded in half at both ends, and then folded in half again, that is, folded horizontally and four times. There should be no gaps in the middle. After these are done, it is repairing. You are in the military camp, you must remember, the troops The quilt depends on folding three parts and repairing seven parts."

"If the quilt is to be folded well, the most important part is the later trimming. The 'surface' involved in trimming the quilt must be flat and free of wrinkles, and there must be no protrusions or depressions on any surface. It should be at a right angle of ninety degrees to the surface."

"All the 'lines' that need to be involved, you have to pinch them with your hands. When it comes to the 'corners', you have to dig out the shape with your fingertips."

"All in all, the quilts in the military camp are to be stacked with edges and corners, flat and neat, like a square 'tofu block'.

"Okay, next, before breakfast, I will spend all my time tying the quilt. In the last 10 minutes, I will fold the quilt and go out."

During this period of time, you get to know each other a little bit. From now on, you will be in the same class, you will be brothers, and you must take the collective honor of the class as the primary goal. That's it, you continue, I will go to the company department to see the training subjects. "

The squad leader went out after the explanation, and then began to introduce themselves to each other.

"My name is Wei Dekang, from Anhui."

"My name is Han Lei, and I'm also from Anhui."

"My name is Wang Kai, from Guizhou, but I enlisted in the army in Sichuan Province, and I registered on the university campus. Who else among you enlisted directly from school."

Everyone except Ding Xiaojun shook their heads.Wang Kai looked at Ding Xiaojun who did not shake his head and asked.

"Stab, you are also a member of the school."

"First of all, I'm not called Statou. I have a name. Remember, my name is Ding Xiaojun. I'm a member of the army at school, but it's not a university, it's a middle school, a high school."

"High school, how old are you?"

"17 is old."

"You're quite young. I'm 22. I'm five years older than you. My big brother will protect you from now on."

Ding Xiaojun looked at Wang Kai viciously, and Wang Kai immediately shut up without saying anything.Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Wei Kang quickly said: "Okay, everyone is in the same class, so stop making trouble, and you guys should make an introduction too."

"My name is Li Ming."

"My name is Gao Jianguo."

"My name is Liu Guodong."

"My name is Wang Tao."

After being introduced to each other, the eight recruits got to know each other. In terms of age, Wang Kai was the oldest, followed by Gao Jianguo, Wei Dekang, Wang Tao... Ding Xiaojun was the youngest, and they called him 'Little Ba' in private.

The morning was spent making quilts. In the last 10 minutes, everyone folded up the quilts and began to trim. It didn’t take long before the assembly whistle sounded, and then the entire company gathered in front of the cooking class.
