Chapter 16: Running for the Pacesetter
Through these few days of hard training, every student has now adapted to this harsh military life. Even many students have begun to love this kind of intense and orderly training, and the original complaints are gone, and the complaints are gone.
The unanimous slogan, the neat team, and the sonorous pace made the entire training ground incomparably majestic. The rows of olive-green squares are the Great Wall of steel of the motherland, and every military salute is facing their own motherland.
Whether it was a thunderstorm or a scorching sun, they lined up in a neat square team to train on time every day. In that bad weather, the slogan of "heighten vigilance, defend the motherland" became louder than usual. The weight of each military salute is also more dignified, pride and majesty are written on the faces of every student, and pride and spirit are engraved in the hearts of every student.
On the eighth day of military training, the selection of pacesetters began, and each company should select two students with standard movements as pacesetters, and take the square team behind them through the rostrum to accept the leader's review at the parade. The pacesetters are generally one boy and one girl, which can be regarded as promoting equality between men and women.
After a morning of careful selection, each company selected its own pacesetter. Among them, the male pacesetter of the third company is Wang Zhicheng, and the female pacesetter is Cheng Xuelian, which makes many boys jealous of Zhicheng.
It is natural for Zhicheng to be elected as a pacesetter, which is inseparable from his usual dedication. As soon as he began his military training, he sought to be the best he could be. As for Xuelian being able to become a female pacesetter, it is naturally understandable, because she is also relatively hardworking among girls, and coupled with her special status, all this is a natural thing.
After lunch, he returned to the dormitory, and the stuttering rich man was the first to lose his breath. Seeing that Zhicheng hadn't come back yet, he said to his roommate: "Old man...... What a dick, what a ...... I didn't expect that, let Jean ...... Wang Zhicheng...... This grandson has become a pacesetter. Damn, no, no, no...... Strength, injury, injury...... Not great. The more excited he became, the more he stammered, and he laughed when he spoke.
Liu Guangming smiled and patted him on the shoulder, learning from his stuttering and said, "Brother...... Guys, you take your time...... Say it slowly, don't don't don't ...... Suffocate to death. ”
"I, I, I...... , take a look...... Look down on my brother and brother...... Yes, yes, yes...... No? ”
"Hey, hey, hey...... No, no, no, no...... Which is the ...... How dare you! ”
Guangming learned from the stuttering of the rich and noble, and the roommates laughed more than once.
After a while, Zhicheng walked into the 310 dormitory with a white military uniform, which was specially equipped by the school for the students who were selected as pacesetters, and would be returned to the school after the military training.
In the afternoon, before the training, all the pacesetters had a collective meeting, and Zhicheng changed into military uniforms in the dormitory and came to the military training headquarters located on the literary building in advance. He glanced around the hall and saw that seven or eight pacesetters in military uniforms had arrived. Most of them came in groups of men and women, and they sat and laughed with each other.
Zhicheng turned his head and found that his partner Cheng Xuelian also entered the hall with a smile. When the eyes of the two met unexpectedly, Zhicheng was a little overwhelmed. It is said that they are not strangers, but Zhicheng is still very nervous when he sees her, and he always has an indescribable inferiority complex in front of this handsome and surprisingly beautiful girl.
Cheng Xuelian walked straight to Zhicheng and smiled mischievously at him and said, "Comrade Wang Zhicheng, hello! Giggles, it's a pleasure to be your partner, and may we have a happy cooperation in military training. Come, shake hands! She held out her right hand to him in a friendly and generous manner, "We're old friends, aren't we?" Please take care of my little sister......"
Zhicheng was a little embarrassed, and smiled shyly at him, but he didn't expect her to shake hands with him. Zhicheng, who is from the countryside, is still very restrained in the relationship between men and women, and he is embarrassed to shake someone's hand in the face of this unfamiliar girl. Don't hold it! People have taken the initiative to reach out, showing that they are ignorant and not giving her face.
Zhicheng was embarrassed to reach out and shake her hand, the slender hand of the opposite sex was really soft, fine skin and greasy flesh, and extremely smooth, so that people didn't want to let go when they held it. When he withdrew his hand, his face was red with embarrassment, and he didn't know if he had lost his temper in the process of shaking hands with her just now.
At this time, there was the sound of snow lotus giggling, crisp and pleasant, very beautiful. Slim and elegant, she put on a heroic white military uniform, making this handsome person more youthful and bright, and radiant. Under the sacred military hat is a vivid and amiable smiling face, although the charming face is a little blackened, but it is still vigorous and radiant, and it cannot hide her handsomeness and charm. The bright eyes shimmer with aura, and the thin willow eyebrows are full of style. The crimson tie around her neck brought a touch of solemnity to her feminine appearance. The long figure, the peugeot posture, the good appearance, and the elegant temperament. It makes people awe-inspiring and at the same time suddenly admired.
"Giggles, what are you looking at me? Am I wearing this outfit mentally? She said generously and sat with him, looking intently at her male partner.
The high bridge of the nose, the thick eyebrows, and the somewhat melancholy eyes, these parts are well-defined, and the combination is very handsome, and it has a manly taste. It's just that his cheeks are thin and his expression is cold, which makes people feel a little serious. Xue Lian couldn't understand why he was always so melancholy, as if he was preoccupied. If there were other boys at this time, I would have chattered to her endlessly. Either compliment her beautiful singing voice or praise her excellent appearance. Anyway, it won't be like this stupid pillar.
Xue Lian pouted and wanted to laugh, but now even she, a lively and cheerful girl, couldn't find anything suitable to say, so the two of them could only sit silently, and the atmosphere was a little solemn for a while.
Zhicheng's shyness and reserve made Xuelian feel a sense of intimacy, because she was really tired of listening to the boys' unbounded compliments and praises. Today's Zhicheng is like a person who is tired of eating fatty meat, and suddenly sees a plate of bitter gourd scrambled eggs.
"Alas, Wang Zhicheng, you look quite handsome in this military uniform......" she broke the silence with a smile.
"......" Zhicheng opened his mouth and didn't know how to respond, so he had to smile at her.
"Giggles, why don't you speak, I heard that you were admitted to Hechang No. 1 Middle School from the countryside. Handsome guy, speak. ”
"Hmm...... Yes......" He nodded at her handsome face, his face flushing again.
"Giggle...... looked at his wooden and over-the-top honest appearance, she really wanted to laugh enough, but it took a lot of effort to hold back for the sake of politeness.
Xue Lian had never met such a thin-skinned boy, and her face flushed when she saw the girl. She took out a pack of tissues from her body and handed it to him, and said kindly: "Look at your hot, give it, wipe your sweat!" Take it! ”
When she learned that he was really from the countryside, she became more interested in him. I really want to get to know him and get closer to him. If nothing else, just because he was from the countryside, it was enough to arouse her strong enthusiasm.
The countryside is both familiar and unfamiliar to Snow Lotus. Familiar because she lived in the countryside for five years when she was a child, and strange because she left the countryside for nearly five years in a blink of an eye. She always has a special emotion hidden in her heart for the countryside, which is the emotion that she can't let go of in her life, and it is the place where she has always missed and cherished.
Just as she was about to open the conversation box to ask him about the situation in the countryside, the captain walked into the hall with a folder in his hand. The audience suddenly fell silent, and Xue Lian had to reluctantly close her mouth. The captain said for a long time, which was nothing more than to let all the pacesetters train hard, and strictly demand that they strive to achieve the best results in the final military parade.
The military training parade simulated training on the ninth day was miserable. On this vast training ground, running for a while, walking in unison for a while, and walking in unison for a while, these students who were tossing and turning collapsed one by one, and their physical strength was seriously overdrawn. But every student still insisted on training, over and over again, but fortunately, there was only one day, and they came over as soon as they gritted their teeth.
The military training parade on the last day officially began at 8 o'clock in the morning, and rows of heroic olive green squares were neatly arranged on the training ground in front of the rostrum. After adjusting the formation, the eighty-five company commanders reported to the group commander in turn: The assembly is complete, please instruct.
Next, the flag-raising honor guard composed of 170 pacesetters slowly marched to the flagpole in front of the rostrum with neat steps, and the long-awaited military parade kicked off in the national flag raising and playing the national anthem.
To everyone's admiration, the well-trained flag-raiser pulled the national flag to the top of the pole at a uniform speed in the 46-second performance time, and the accuracy was almost exactly the same, and even the relevant leaders sitting on the rostrum couldn't help but nod their heads secretly when they saw this wonderful scene.
Immediately afterwards, the captain personally led 170 pacesetters to conduct a comprehensive drill in front of the rostrum, and the highly coordinated and uniform movements were pleasing to the eye. After the 170 pacesetters returned to their respective companies, the queues of each company stood neatly in the pre-designated positions, ready to be reviewed and reviewed by the leaders......
This year, "Cheng Qizhang", director of the Hechang City Education Bureau, as the chief, conducted a final review of the military training, and he first went to each company under the leadership of the captain to express his condolences one by one.
"Hello students......"
"Good ...... chief" immediately erupted into a high-pitched and loud voice.
"Students have worked hard!" Immediately afterwards, he waved to all the students of the second company.
"Serving the People ......"
When he came to the third company, he smiled kindly, because he saw that his precious daughter had also become a pacesetter. Not to mention, that little appearance is quite like that, military uniform, military hat, and white gloves on his hands.
This obedient girl, who has always loved to be coquettish in her arms, used to be always naughty and crazy with giggling, but now she has changed from before, seeing that he still maintains a serious and solemn expression, as if she is a stranger to his father, which makes Cheng Qizhang feel a little funny.
When the 85 companies had finished their condolences one by one, the leader Cheng Qizhang returned to sit in the middle of the rostrum, and the military parade of each company officially began, and each company passed through the rostrum in turn from east to west in order.
"One-two-one, one-two-one, one-two-three-four" first in the form of running under the leadership of the company commander from the east starting point to the rostrum, under the order of the company commander, the entire olive green team from running to walking in unison with the two pacesetters in front of the team slowly walked to the rostrum, when they reached the front of the rostrum, the whole team from the step directly changed to the positive step, at the same time, under the command of the pacesetter, all the team members marched a military salute, shouting the slogan of heightened vigilance to defend the motherland through the rostrum.
Subsequently, the 85 companies passed the rostrum of more than 50 meters in a heroic manner.
