Chapter 253: Patrolling and Helping People During the Day
When the mud and sand filled the four trucks, Huang Feiang and He Hanri hurriedly put down the tools in their hands.
The two men ran over together, gave a military salute, and said loudly together: "Report to the instructor, the mud and sand have filled four trucks, please instruct." ”
The two instructors nodded and smiled, and Instructor He immediately said loudly: "You guys are watching here, to prevent accidents, remember to tell everyone to run away, and we will drive away immediately." ”
Huang Feiang and the others immediately said that they were instructors, and stood where they were just now, and began to pay attention to the nearby mountains and the situation in the distance.
The six veterans were also called away by the instructors, and six recruits were immediately called in to take charge of their guarding duties.
Two instructors and six veterans climbed into four trucks and drove away one after another, seeing better during the day, but paying more attention to the situation in the distance, for fear that residents would pass by.
The four military trucks drove away, slowly heading towards the big crater where the mud and sand had been dumped last night.
After the car drove away, everyone put down the tools in their hands and wiped the sweat on their faces, sweat and dust stained their faces, a little uncomfortable, their bodies were hot, and they wanted to take off their thick cotton clothes.
Some people began to complain that it was so hot and began to prepare to undress, and some people began to complain that their hands were so painful, mainly the people who had been carrying the barrel just now.
Everyone put their tools on the ground and sat down to rest in the place they had just cleaned up.
I've already shoveled some, probably more than last night's pavement.
The eight recruits in charge of the guards did not dare to sit down, as they were aware of the situation around them and from a distance.
The wind blew in the already cold weather, and the people who had already taken off their clothes immediately shivered and hurriedly put their clothes back on.
After a while, I felt that it was not hot, and everyone hoped that the instructor would drive back soon, finish shoveling work early, and go back to lunch, it may be almost noon, and some people have begun to be hungry.
The recruits who did not come out for training had to go to the library and read books as a day off, and there might be training in the evening to recuperate their spirits.
It was almost noon for the recruits who had been trained last night, and everyone was hungry and had to get up, put on their clothes, hold their own plastic buckets, and clean clothes, and prepare to go to the public bathhouse to take a bath.
I probably didn't have time to take a wash last night, but now I'm lining up to go to the public bathhouse.
Usually shy and don't want to go, but now I can't take care of it so much, and the public bathhouse has installed six faucets for cold water and six faucets for hot water, which the army specially asked the decorator to install.
Usually you can wash cold water in hot weather, and you can wash hot water in cold weather, and everyone has lined up to carry green and uniform plastic buckets to receive water.
The long queue waited patiently, and when the people in front of them were no longer filled with half of the buckets, they quickly connected their own buckets.
The steaming water was bubbling and flowing, and it didn't take long for many people to pick it up. Go to a place where you can hang your clothes and hang up the plastic bag you are carrying. Inside there are clean clothes.
It is a small room like a school, and there is a wooden door, but it is not tiled, and it is painted with a layer of cement.
The person who was receiving the water next to him saw each of the small wooden doors that had been closed, turned off the faucet, and waited beside him.
Everyone quickly undressed and began to wash, everyone washed their own, and no one was talking.
Only the people who were standing and waiting outside saw a pair of big feet wearing slippers inside, and the soap-smelling hot water that kept flowing out, and whispered, who was the person washing inside?
How long does it take to wash and come out, and the people outside keep urging them, telling the people inside to hurry up. Many people are already hungry, so they will urge, take a shower and wash their clothes, hurry up to eat, and maybe train in the afternoon.
The people who were washing inside said as they washed, don't rush them to be washed soon, and each of them called the names of their fellow dormitories, telling them to come over quickly, and they would come out immediately.
The faucet outside turned on again, and the people outside began to connect the hot water, and when the people inside came out, they hurried in and hung up their clothes.
Racing against time to take a bath, the people who finished the bath opened the door one by one and came out, full of the smell of soap, carrying the bucket of dirty clothes to the cold water faucet, turning on the faucet, and starting to wash clothes.
Some people brought laundry detergent and put it aside in advance, and the companion who held the laundry detergent began to pour the buckets lined up together and pour them into a little bubble.
I started to scrub my clothes, but I changed the clothes and pants inside, because they didn't dry so quickly, and the troops issued three sets of green thin military uniforms on hot days.
The people who went in to wash were also washing quickly, and the people waiting outside were also urging, looking at the big feet inside the pair of slippers under the small door, few people's feet were very white, most of them had done farm work in the countryside, and they had already sunned.
If someone's feet are very white, people standing outside and waiting will whisper there, "Who is this?" How can this foot be so white? Surely they are not from the countryside, and there are a few people from the city who come to serve as soldiers.
There are also children in the city who come from poor families, who have gone to junior high school or high school, and who have come to serve in the army, and who have never done farm work, and of course they may be whiter than them.
The washer quickly finished washing, carried his bucket and left, hurried towards his dormitory, found his washed clothes on his hanger, and hung them on the balcony outside.
The hangers are also issued by the army, six per person, and they can be replaced if they are broken, but they are required to be used for at least one year. So no one will break it on purpose.
The hanger is also the kind of iron hanger we use with a layer of green, which is not so easy to break. Three pairs of black cotton socks can be worn all year round. It is required to be worn for one year, and a new one will be issued the next year.
Everyone also hangs the washed socks and clamps them with a bamboo rack, and each person will send ten, and they can only be broken if they are bad. It will also be used for more than a year.
The companion who had dried his clothes breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the cafeteria with his already hungry stomach.
Wansha and Kunke were still waiting in line at the bathhouse, they were the last in line, they wanted them to wash in front of them, and there were two other recruits, who were also sitting in front of the veterans.
The laundry was quickly washed and left, and the companions who had washed in the wooden door came out one by one, and Wansa and they took the hot water and carried their buckets into the small room.
Quickly take off your clothes, quickly wash up, quickly wash out, hurry to wash clothes, at this time there are a lot fewer people in the bathhouse, most of them have been washed, and the rest of the people hurry up and wash quickly.
The two instructors and six veterans who had finished pouring mud and sand outside quickly returned in empty cars.
The recruits, who were sitting together to rest, heard the sound of the car coming from a long distance, and quickly stood up one after another, began to pick up the tools on the ground, and waited for the car to arrive.
The instructor drove nearby, jumped out of the car, looked at the time, and Instructor He said loudly, you put down the tools first, go back to eat first, and come back in the afternoon after eating to continue sweeping.
Everyone said yes loudly, put down the tools in their hands, and stood in line.
Instructor Qin immediately said loudly: "Now please sit in the back of the car first, let's go back to eat, we can't finish it at one time, please walk and wait for those who don't get in the car first." ”
After speaking, he opened the car box behind him and asked everyone to line up to climb up, and the four trucks were opened one after another, and the recruits in line got on one after another.
When it was full, two instructors and six veterans quickly climbed into the cab and slowly drove the car away.
The rest of the people walked slowly in a line, the wind blowing in their ears hurt a little on their faces, it was still much better than the recruits they had trained last night, and the two instructors had already considered that if they worked a little longer, everyone would definitely be hungrier.
So let everyone go back to eat early, and the recruits who walked slowly looked at the situation in the distance, and slowly someone walked towards this side, as if they were a family.
When they got closer, they saw a pair of elderly people, dressed in ethnic minority clothes and wearing shell-like ornaments.
The two old men each carried a basket containing a chicken and a duck, as well as some dried carrots.
Chickens and ducks crowed from time to time, and Huang Feiang in the team hurriedly walked out, and so did He Hanri, and the walking team stopped.
Hurriedly stopped the two old men, Huang Feiang first told the old man in xx words, there was a lot of mud and sand in front of them, telling them to be careful when they walked by.
The two old men couldn't understand it, they were the local xx compatriots, and Huang Feiang had to speak in Mandarin again before they understood.
A bunch of words were spoken in x, and these recruits couldn't understand it, because it had only been here for more than a month, and the two old men might not be able to speak Mandarin and speak several local dialects, Huang Feiang had to guess, maybe he was talking about relatives.
Seeing that these young people couldn't understand, the two old men had no choice but to shake their heads and slowly walk forward.
Seeing that the two old men were leaving, these recruits had to line up and follow them to prevent accidents.
The two old men, a little strange, looked back at the recruits who were following them, said a few words in the local dialect, and then walked away again.
Huang Feiang hurriedly said to them in Mandarin: "Uncle and aunt, the road ahead is not good, we will send you." ”
The two old men walked for a while, came to the road they were cleaning, saw the road full of mud and sand, said a few words in Tibetan, and continued to walk.
The rest of the recruits had no choice but to follow, and the two old men had mud and sand in their shoes, and they walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, muttering something in their mouths, and the expression on their faces was a little regretful.
After walking for a long time, they took off the cotton shoes on their feet and poured out the mud and sand, and Huang Feiang and the others hurriedly helped to help them prevent them from falling.
After pouring, the two old men put it back on, made a Tibetan salute to them, thanked them in Tibetan words, and then continued walking.
The recruits hurriedly gave them a military salute, and Huang Feiang immediately said in Mandarin: "Uncle and aunt, you go slowly." ”
Finally getting out of the muddy and sandy road, the two old men breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out their hands to say goodbye, turned around and continued walking.
The recruits also breathed a sigh of relief, and stood there in line watching, not following, hoping that they would go home soon.
