Chapter 245: Chang Wansha reminisces about the past
After everyone relaxed, they slowly fell asleep, and they went to bed earlier than a few days ago, and Chang Wansha fell asleep at almost nine o'clock.
The next morning, the instructor also got up late, and the training recruits for more than ten consecutive days could not bear it, and he himself was very tired, his throat was unpleasant, and he would drink six glasses of water to moisten his throat every day.
Now that he can finally take a day off, he is also happy in his heart, the instructor is thirty-five years old, he has already married a family, and his wife and children are in his hometown.
The wife has no complaints with the children, she is a good military wife, and the instructor will always go back when the army is on vacation, and she can usually write a letter to tell her to eat well at home, be healthy, take care of the children, and parents on both sides.
Some military wives are good women, and some have changed their minds, after all, they have been separated for a long time, and some military wives need help in their lives, and if someone else helps her, she may empathize and say goodbye.
In such a situation, when getting married, they will seriously ask each other whether they can endure loneliness? If the woman did not regret it at that time, and later got married, she regretted it again, and the soldier was helpless, and no matter how bitter the emotional injury was, she had to endure it.
The next morning, all the recruits got up late and did not go to breakfast, and the instructor had already told the head chef that breakfast did not need to be made, and they would eat together at noon.
This way the chefs can also take a break and sleep in. Ten o'clock in the morning passed, and the recruits in each dormitory slowly got up. Stretching my waist, I felt a little at home for the first time.
After everyone gets acquainted with each other, they all regard each other as comrades-in-arms, and living together is quite lively, which is much better than living alone at home.
Chang Wansha had already told his dormitory companions about his past, including that his family was poor, his mother died very early, and that the girl he liked was married.
I went crazy for a year, and then I was rescued by a girl named Yibai, so I came here.
Everyone sympathized with him when they heard it, and felt that he had suffered a lot, and now that he is here, his companion's family is poor, but his parents are still there, and they are better off than him.
Slowly get dressed, wash your face and brush your teeth, and then go to the cafeteria to eat, many people go to the cafeteria, and find that the food is not ready, and their stomachs are already hungry, so they have to sit there and look at the kitchen.
There was no food in the dormitory, because it was not allowed to buy snacks to eat, and there were no shops around the place where I lived, so I could only eat what was in the cafeteria.
Just for them to develop the habit of saving money, the salary of being a soldier is not high, and they should not be used up all at once.
They are required to send half of their wages home, of course, some people have better conditions at home, and they don't want to send it, and the instructor has no choice.
There is also to prevent them from eating snacks and eating bad stomachs, affecting the progress of training, so that the team doctor is busy treating them, and the team doctor will complain.
The third purpose is to prevent them from eating snacks and not being able to eat, which will affect their physical development, and most of the boys who come here to serve as soldiers are about 20 years old, and they must be strong and healthy in their youth.
When performing tasks in the future, you cannot be discharged from the army because of poor physical development. The instructors are for their good.
Everyone sat there quietly and waited for the meal to be ready, this was the first time to wait for dinner, and they used to come and eat directly after singing.
After waiting for about half an hour, the chefs finally cooked it, and everyone lined up to eat, and their stomachs were already rumbling with hunger.
The instructors also came, and when the cafeteria was full, the newcomers had to wait outside, and each time they would be divided into five groups to eat.
After getting up in the morning, hearing the whistle, everyone quickly got up to fold the quilt and get dressed, some people moved slowly, and they didn't have time to brush their teeth and wash their faces, so they had to finish training and eat at noon, and then returned to the dormitory to brush their teeth and wash their faces.
Of course, this instructor is allowed, as long as the training is not delayed, and all recruits should not have too long hair.
When I first came in, I had to be cut into a uniform short haircut by the barber in the army, so that I would not miss the time to wash my hair and save water and shampoo.
Most of them wash their hair once every three days, and they wash it together when they take a bath, so they dry quickly and are not prone to colds.
Before joining the army, there is a physical examination report form, and people with infectious diseases are not allowed to come in, and the requirements of this unit are very strict. You can't have any tattoos on your body.
There are also height requirements, at least one meter six or more, and you can't accept it if you look too short, because the army has a task at any time, and I'm afraid that you won't have the strength to lift something, and your body can't bear it.
On the first day of the army, the doctor of the army will also carefully check once and pass the test before you can stay in the army.
This situation is for the good of everyone, just in case, of course, you can enlist in the army, and the results of the examination in the hospital cannot be sloppy, I am afraid that some people will buy the results of the physical examination and enlist in the army.
If you are detected by the army, they will send someone to take you home immediately, and they will go to that hospital to ask about the responsibility of that hospital. Nothing like that happens.
When you come to the troops, you have to obey the orders of the instructor, Chang Wansha has already cut her hair before coming, and each dormitory will be issued a bottle of shampoo, so that everyone can save some money, and there is a time requirement. Use one bottle every two months, and it will be issued when it runs out.
Considering that everyone has short hair, it doesn't take much, and only girls' long hair will be a waste of shampoo. After three months, everyone will be arranged to line up for a haircut.
Most of us are from rural areas, and we wash our hair at home once every three days, which is still customary.
A bottle of shampoo is 800 ml, the old brand xx, everyone will consciously save a little money, and when they don't want to be enough, they will be complained by their peers.
There is also a soap for bathing, and each person is issued with a piece, which requires a minimum of three months of washing, and it cannot be wasted. This instructor also said it.
Everyone also uses soap for bathing at home, which is cheaper than shower gel and takes a long time to wash.
Everyone will remember to take it out every time they wash it, and they can't fall into the toilet.
The army also built a public bathing place, but they didn't want to wait for time to go, and the boys were shy at first and didn't dare to go, because they would also have feelings for the same sex.
The instructor will also say at the beginning that you can't fall in love in the army, that is, to prevent them from falling in love with the same sex, and if you are found out, you will be persuaded to retire and send you home.
And this consequence will be serious, because with feelings, it will affect the mood of some people, and it will affect the usual training.
After everyone finished eating at noon, they went back to the dormitory together, and soon after arriving at the dormitory, the instructor came and asked everyone to get a thick quilt, because the weather was a little cold.
Because of these ten days of training, the instructors will be very humane, usually the weather will continue to train when there is light rain, and the weather will rain heavily, the instructor will let them go back to the dormitory, and the weather will be good for a long time.
The instructor was also afraid that they would get sick when they first arrived, and they had the idea of going back home, so they waited until a long time before the training became more difficult.
Everyone immediately got up and lined up to go to the instructor's office, where two rooms were already stacked with thick green military quilts.
Everyone lined up to receive it, wrote their names in the notebook, and then walked away with the quilt they had made.
A few veterans helped to send it, and the instructor watched from the side, and everyone would say thank you after receiving it, and leave with a smile on their faces.
The weather was cold, covered with a thick quilt to warm up, and it was comfortable to lie on the bed to sleep, Chang Wansha went back to the dormitory with the quilt in his arms, put the quilt on the bed, and was very happy in his heart.
Chang Wansha recalls that when he sleeps at home, he will also cover a very thick quilt in winter, with a thick layer of straw underneath, and a layer of quilt, and when he is at home, he sleeps with his father.
Since his mother died, his father began to take him to sleep, when he was a child, his grandmother took him, and his father went out to work in the fields, and when he was studying in the village, his grandmother would pick him up.
When he was ten years old, he began to help the family, and his homework would be finished, he didn't know how to ask the teacher, the family was poor, and his father didn't marry again, because ordinary aunts didn't look down on their own family.
Grandma has been helping with the work until now that he is older, and grandma is older, so she has less work.
When I was twelve years old, I started cooking at home, and my grandmother had taught me that I could stir-fry vegetables, so that my father would be relieved to dry the crops in the field.
His tuition fees were sold by the two fat pigs raised by the family, as well as chickens and ducks, and he gave birth to eggs and duck eggs, but his grandmother was reluctant to sell them, so she cooked them all for him to eat.
Usually he rarely eats meat, and his grandmother is afraid that he will not grow tall, he is a descendant of this family, so let him eat enough no matter what.
Dad would also let him do less farm work, and when he was fifteen years old and much taller, he would let him help with the crops in the field, and he would let him finish his homework before he would come out.
The two fat pigs raised every year are the hope of the family, grandma is carefully fed, grandma is a budget-conscious old man, her wife died, she lives carefully, and she usually picks up the firewood burned at home.
Because pigs eat well and eat a lot, they will grow fast and fat, and the crops they usually plant can be used as firewood and all of them can be carried back.
She will save on laundry detergent at home, she will wait for more clothes to wash, the clothes are not dirty, and they will only be changed in two days, unlike the people in the city, who will change every day.
Only when the farm is busy, sweating a lot every day, will change every day, grandma just got married and had long hair, and then cut it twice to sell, and then did not keep it anymore.
First, there is a lot of work to do, there is less time to wash hair, and if you don't wash your hair for a long time, you will grow lice, and it will be very itchy to climb on your hair.
The second is the provincial shampoo, at the beginning my grandmother used soap to wash her hair, and then used laundry detergent and soap, and later the countryside began to sell shampoo, and my father bought a bottle for everyone to wash.
Grandma asked Dad to cut her every time she grew up like this, and Dad bought a pair of sharp iron scissors for a few dollars, and Dad began to cut Grandma and Wansha's hair without going to the barbershop.
In this way, you can spend a little less money a year, and it is not easy for rural people to earn money, and they will be tight on a small amount of money.
After Dad finished cutting his grandmother, he carefully cut it neatly, and there was okay, unlike people in the city, who wanted to cut their hair.
It will be cut once every three months, and Wansha's hair is also cut by his father, so that his classmates will not laugh at him after seeing it, his father will cut it very carefully.
It's worse than a barbershop, and sometimes the classmates laugh, and Wansa ignores them. The most important thing is to study your own.
