"Unity is strength, get ready, sing!"

"Unity is strength, this strength is iron, this strength is steel..."

"Speak louder! Haven't you eaten?"

At the entrance of the canteen, the recruits of the recruit company sang military songs at the top of their lungs, waiting outside to go in and eat. So they really didn’t eat…

I sang the military song twice. Because someone was talking, I stood in a military posture for ten minutes, and because someone was moving, I stayed in a military posture for another ten minutes. All in all, it is to convince these new recruits and get rid of their little tempers and shortcomings.

After struggling like this for half an hour, I finally entered the cafeteria. In the end, I was still not allowed to eat, but started practicing 'sitting'. Until no one spoke, I could basically read when I sat down, and the food was mild. Really sit down and get ready to eat.

The food is still good, including shredded potatoes garnished with celery and shredded pork, chicken and potatoes, pork stewed with beans, and stir-fried cabbage, which is also commonly called kohlrabi, and is called gadabai in the Northeast. In addition, there is an egg soup. There are two staple foods, noodles and steamed buns. The meals are all served in basins and the portions are generous.

A bunch of poor, half-grown men had just entered the camp. They received supplies, stood in military positions, and were given some food before eating. They were already very hungry.

But the problem now is that we are still in the stage of ‘preparing to eat’, and the meal has not yet been served…

The recruits didn't know it, but they sat there one by one and picked up the chopsticks to eat meat, clinking their chopsticks together like a war. With one chopstick per person, the vegetables were visibly dry and half of the pot was gone.

"What are you doing? Did I ask you to use chopsticks? Huh?"

Gao Cheng shouted, "Put down your chopsticks! Put them down!"

The veteran squad leaders looked around in circles, staring and clapping their hands, making the recruits put down their chopsticks.

"Sit down, everyone! Sit down for ten minutes first." Gao Cheng clasped his hands behind his back and walked leisurely. "As the saying goes, there is nothing without rules. We are a disciplined force, and we must follow rules. When you get up, there is a signal, and lights out. There are orders, there are instructions when standing in line, and you have to obey orders when eating. Otherwise, if you sit here and grab your food noisily, how can you look like a soldier?

Remember, do whatever you are told. If you are not asked to do anything, then don’t do it. How did you sit? ah? You look hunched over, you don’t look like a soldier at all, is that cool? Push your chest out, tighten your belly, raise your head, and sit up straight! Come on, please correct your sitting posture. "

Gao Cheng personally corrected a new recruit's sitting posture, and then instructed the veteran squad leaders to take action.

This time the recruits were honest. They all sat upright and looked at the food on the table. But not everyone was honest, and some people burst out laughing very suddenly.

Gao Cheng rushed over immediately: "Why are you laughing? Huh?"

The recruit stood up and said, "Report to the company commander, it's nothing."

"Nothing? I don't believe that I can make myself laugh just by sitting there." Gao Cheng glanced at the other people at the same table, and everyone avoided looking.

"Reporting to the company commander, I was just thinking about interesting things while eating."

"Really? Is it so interesting? Come on, come on, tell me about it and make me laugh too."

The recruit stopped talking and just stood there.

"Do you think you can just stand up by yourself?" Gao Cheng smiled, and then shouted, "Everyone, give me another ten minutes. Because this person laughed, it dragged you all down. As for you, get ready for push-ups!"

"yes!"

The recruits didn't know what else to prepare for push-ups, so they just answered yes.

He left the table and stood in the aisle: "Report to the company commander."

"speak!"

"How many push-ups?"

"They were dragged down by you to sit and watch the food for ten extra minutes. How much did you say you did? Of course it was ten minutes too!"

The recruit was stunned for a moment, then he responded loudly, got down and started doing push-ups...

Anyone who has done push-ups knows that after doing dozens of push-ups, your arms will already be shaking, your chest muscles will contract, and you will not be able to exert the strength to hold your body up. Such was the case with this new recruit.

He gritted his teeth and tried to get up, but in vain, he lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.

Of course Gao Cheng also knew about this situation. He walked over and knocked the recruit with his foot and said, "I can't do it anymore. Even if you do it, you still have to do it for ten minutes."

"Yes!" The recruit responded desperately, stretched out his arms again, and sat up on the plank.

Without special training, people's core strength is not that strong, and of course they cannot sustain it for so many minutes. So I watched the recruit fidgeting back and forth, hunched over, lowered his head, shivering, and soon he was sweating profusely.

But Gao Cheng didn't call for stop, and the recruits didn't dare to stop.

The recruits only felt that the time was long, and the days were like years. They stared at the food in front of them and swallowed, and secretly cursed the person who laughed out loud as a fool.

Finally, Gao Cheng knocked the pouting recruit with his foot: "Will you know how to abide by discipline in the future?"

"Report to the company commander, I know!"

"Get up and sit down."

"yes!"

The recruit, who looked as if he had been fished out of water, stood up and sat back, sitting upright.

Gao Cheng glanced around again, and seeing that there was no one challenging him, he nodded with satisfaction: "Let's eat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there were a lot of sounds of chopsticks being thrown together, then there was the sound of chopsticks fighting, and then there was a lot of sounds of squeaking. And at this time, it hadn’t even reached the ten minutes Gao Cheng said…

Xu Sanduo held two steamed buns in one hand, taking a bite of one and another, muttering to Wang Yan beside him: "It's delicious! It's better to be a soldier. It's much better than what I eat at home. Wang Yan, hurry up and eat."

In fact, Wang Yan doesn't eat slowly at all. He is a serious cyclone with chopsticks and a forklift, and he can eat and drink a lot. But he also knew that Xu Sanduo was afraid that he wouldn't be able to grab more, so he asked him to eat faster.

He smiled and said: "The army can still make us hungry? If we run out of food, we will definitely be able to replenish it. There is no need to be so anxious."

Xu Sanduo smiled and still devoured it, as did everyone else. I don’t know if I can eat more in the future, but it’s definitely better to eat more now. Even the recruits who were quite willing to talk didn't have much conversation and were all busy eating...

Gao Cheng and the veteran squad leaders did not look for trouble. Even if the recruits had eaten half of their food and had passed the hunger, they started buzzing quietly again. They just scolded a few soldiers who spoke loudly. .

The first day a recruit enters the camp is somewhat gentle. If the training of the new recruits is really overdone, and there are more than 100 recruits in the company, dozens of them are clamoring to go home, that would be enough for Gaocheng to drink a pot.

After all, if one or two want to go home, that is the problem of the soldiers. If ten or twenty are clamoring to go home, then it is the problem of Gao Cheng, the chief officer who trains new recruits...

In this way, everyone had a full meal, and the veteran squad leaders each led the recruits to speak. It's not serious at this time. I mainly want to tell you about life in the army, the training tasks during the recruit company, etc. Unlike Gao Cheng's speech, the monitors spoke in great detail. It’s not training anyway, even players like Wu Liuyi are chatting and laughing with everyone.

After chatting like this for a while, Wu Liuyi said: "According to regulations, each class must have a deputy squad leader. I propose that Wang Yan be the deputy squad leader of our class. What do you think?"

"No!" Xu Sanduo was the first to express his attitude, grinning, very happy.

Wu Liu glanced at it and barely noticed it. In a short period of time, he had already figured out what these two fellow villagers were like, one was smart, the other was stupid, and the one under his command was the stupid one.

As a fellow villager, he felt ashamed to be in company and felt ashamed of his hometown people.

"What about you?" He looked at the others.

"agree!"

“The king’s words are inappropriate, who can?”

"It's him, I support him!"

Wu Liu nodded: "Okay, since everyone has no objections, then this matter is settled. Wang Yan will be the deputy monitor of our class from now on. If I am not around, I will listen to him."

"Good guy, we have to dare not to listen..." someone muttered.

Wang Yan shook his head in a funny way: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's like I'm bullying you."

"If you don't bully us, the next time someone bullies us, we will come after you."

"Hey, don't think so bad of people. We are all in the same company, we all came together, there is no one who can bully or not bully. Isn't it normal for us to be a bunch of big men and fight and fight."

Wu Liuyi pointed at Wang Yan and said with a smile: "You have to take the lead, you know. As the class deputy, you have to do well in all subjects, so that everyone can be convinced. Usually, you have to be the first to lead the last. Who in the class Even if their training is not good and their movements are not in place, you have to help them improve, right? "

Wang Yan nodded: "There is no shirking the responsibility."

"Okay, that's all. In the afternoon, I will tell you about our rules and regulations, as well as other disciplines, confidentiality rules, etc. In addition, if you have a phone at home, please call home to check that everything is safe. , if you don’t have a phone, then write a letter, which will be sent out by the troops at that time. In short, it is to let the parents know that their son has entered the army camp and become a soldier.

The rest of the time is still housekeeping, the quilt must be folded and things must be put away. Okay, let's go back and take a nap. They all came all the way here, so have a good rest. Bring it back. "

"You guys go back first. I will discuss with the squad leader the future training and life issues of our class." Wang Yan waved his hand, and Xu Sanduo and others left without knowing why.

Wu Liuyi didn't know why, so he asked: "What are we discussing? What is there to discuss?"

"Have a cigarette." Wang Yan chuckled.

"How old are you? You smoke and drink. This is not good."

"Smoking and drinking are not separated from each other. Hurry up."

Wu Liuyi smiled and took Wang Yan to the corner to smoke a cigarette.

"You smoke less." While smoking, Wu Liuyi still advised, "Smoking is not good."

"When did you start smoking?"

"Uh..." Wu Liuyi thought for a while, shook his head and smiled, "Even when I was in the recruit company, I learned bad things from those guys, and I haven't let go after all these years."

"Look, you're still talking about me." Wang Yan said, "I smoked it at home. At that time, I just wanted to show off. Now I'm used to it. I want to have one after eating."

"Your family doesn't care about you?"

"It's really interesting. Who would slap him in front of his parents? But they couldn't control it even if they wanted to. After the car accident, it's gone."

Wu Liuyi was silent for a while and asked, "When did it happen?"

"Three years ago, when I first entered high school, I was a little bit shocked. My academic performance plummeted. Otherwise, I would still be able to get into college."

Seeing Wang Yan's smile, Wu Liuyi knew that Wang Yan was no longer so sad. He turned to say, "Didn't you say you wanted to be a soldier since you were a child?"

"My horizons are too small. Then taking the college entrance examination will not delay joining the army. If a college student becomes a soldier, is it the same as a high school graduate like me becoming a soldier? If I do well in the exam and go directly to the military academy, then I will become an officer. Are you still a soldier? Can an officer and a non-commissioned officer be the same?"

"Then you should study hard. If you really study well, our army will also go to military academies. And if you have good personal qualities, the same will apply to you in the future."

"Old squad leader, what are you talking about? Just do it as you say?"

"I'm not optimistic about you, so you should perform well. If nothing else, first PK all the people in our regiment who have been named, then those in the P division, then those in the P army, and then again during the exercise If you don’t capture several leaders alive, who will?”

"Come on, I'm afraid I'll be the head of the Military Commission if I keep talking for a while. Let's go." Wang Yan put out the cigarette butt on the ground, threw it into the grass, and simply got up and left.

Back in the barracks, everyone's freshness had not worn off yet. They were all talking there, and it was still so lively. But there is one thing that is not good at all. The recruits have all taken off their shoes, and the smell in the barracks is quite strong...

"You're back, Wang Yan." Xu Sanduo poked his head and looked down.

Someone on the side asked: "What did you say to the monitor?"

"Why are you so trustworthy? You're not even tired?" Wang Yan lay on the lower bunk and looked around, paying attention to everyone.

"I'm tired, so I can't sleep. Listen, everyone is talking there. There are more than a hundred people, how can I sleep here?"

"It's not night yet. I'm gritting my teeth, farting, snoring and talking in my sleep. That makes it even more difficult to sleep. I'm not tired at all. Just wait until the training officially starts tomorrow. I'm sure you can sleep on the pillow."

Someone said: "Hey, squad deputy, you are a deterrent, why don't you shout?"

"If you want me to die, just say so. I am a deterrent. I can't beat more than a hundred people by myself. Everyone is chatting enthusiastically. Who am I? They just listen to what I say?"

Wang Yan said with a smile, "Comrades, this is collective life, and we all have to adapt. Sleep when you can, and squint if you can't. If you want to chat, then chat. On our first day here, the management is a lot looser, so I guess we can't. Just take it easy today and start being strict tomorrow.”

Seeing others talking to each other, Xu Sanduo lay on the upper bunk and raised his head to speak: "Wang Yan, it's great that you are the deputy on duty."

"Then you have to give me face and support my work."

"Don't worry, I support you the most!"

Wang Yan put his hands behind his head and looked at Xu Sanduo, who was grinning silly and cheerfully: "Is it okay to be a soldier?"

"Okay! What you had for lunch today was really good!"

"Just good food?"

"I've eaten so much that I can't bear it. Isn't that okay? I've been given clothes, a hair basin, and a quilt..."

Now Xu Sanduo doesn't have so many things on his mind. He is very naive and very irritating.

Wang Yan smiled, smiling at Xu Sanduo's cuteness and silly cuteness...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
