Chapter 172: Old Horse Knows the Way (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Lao Ma's persuasion made Xu Sanduo puzzled, so his gaze let Lao Ma know that he still didn't understand enough, but he couldn't let him say to the recruit comrades: "You don't care about those salted fish, they are just a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day, and your behavior makes them feel uncomfortable."
Therefore, Lao Ma said, "Let me tell you a story." Xu Sanduo likes to listen to people's reasoning, because he thinks that if he can accept the truth of others, he can take this truth as the standard for his own actions, and it is the standard for not making mistakes.
Therefore, the story of the five queen dogs was told by the old horse. Maybe this is still too profound for Xu Sanduo, maybe Xu Sanduo still doesn't understand the way to survive in the fifth class, he doesn't understand the story of the old horse deep enough, or it can be said that he basically doesn't know that these dogs are the reflection of a few of them, he is the unsociable dog that runs in the opposite direction, and the other four are dogs running in the opposite direction, but in the end, the old horse said it wrong, the reverse one was not killed, if the one in the direction does not change, then their fate will be doomed.
In the end, the conversation between the two also ended in Xu Sanduo's doubts. Lao Ma now feels that he is not a person at the two ends, he supports Xu Sanduo, but he wants to maintain the unity of the class, and the collision of these two trends of thought makes it difficult for him to grasp.
It's not because he favors veterans, it's a matter of ideology, didn't the Third Company give him a chance, no, the Third Company put the best squad leader of their company here, just to reverse this squad, the atmosphere here, but they chose the wrong object.
For an old-fashioned soldier like Lao Ma, the first consideration of the management class must be unity, which is a belief imprinted in their bones, and it is also the magic weapon for their generation to defeat the enemy.
But for here, the steppe five classes. The resolute reform that is needed here is just like the military reform that our army is carrying out now, and the old set can no longer keep us able to adapt to the times, not that it cannot function, but that it cannot keep up with the pace of the times and needs to be reformed.
If Lao Ma, the vanguard, can't catch up with his thinking, then he will not be tired and will not have results, that is, Lao Ma has the glory and ethics of a soldier, even if he doesn't change the atmosphere here, it doesn't make this place completely rotten, otherwise Xu Sanduo may witness a different scene.
The fifth class is now a miniature version of the army, she needs to reform, Lao Ma is considering left and right, whether to maintain this situation for a few more years, or let this variable continue to play, and finally he chose to compromise.
Of course, Xu Sanduo is not the savior of the fifth class, he just does it according to his own code of conduct, although he meets the characteristics of reform, but if you tell him that you are the vanguard of this reform, he will definitely shake his head and say that he doesn't know what it means.
This contradiction in the fifth class continued to backlog, although Xu Sanduo was not obviously targeted, but the atmosphere of the whole class also made him feel a little wrong, so he repeatedly thought about how to break through this situation, and finally found the old horse who he thought was the most capable.
"Squad leader, I figured it out, wouldn't it be interesting for you to say that this dog would run along for a while, and run against it for a while. And this dog that runs backwards can also learn from those who run along the way. Xu Sanduo figured out the general situation of this story, although he figured it out, but he didn't know how to deal with it.
So he continued to make up the story according to this story, and the running and running backwards were all said by him, which made the old horse feel like it was ironic, and finally said to learn from them, which made the old horse a little doubtful that this nerd was really satirizing them.
"If they have anything you can learn, I'm convinced." After saying that, Lao Ma angrily went to inspect the oil pipeline, they belong to the supply station of the training ground, mainly to guard the oil pipeline here, to ensure that it will not be stolen by oil rats, if it is wartime, it is also a strategic place.
All kinds of oil pipe and oil gauge inspections are already familiar, and Lao Ma is making all kinds of records, which is also the only place in their class that can be regarded as a task.
How could Xu Sanduo let go of this opportunity, he still had a lot of questions to ask the squad leader, he wanted to integrate into here, so he continued to communicate with Lao Ma, Lao Ma really couldn't stand this one-tendon question and answer, so he gave him an order to build a road, saying that this was something that their head of the regiment had not done at that time, and if Xu Sanduo felt that it was meaningful, he would build this road.
This became Xu Sanduo's next task in the fifth class, although he would try his best to help others tidy up housekeeping every day, but more time was spent on building roads, laying foundations, finding stones, and drawing lines, which made him busy flying alone.
It was the only thing he had been able to do so far, and that he felt was meaningful. He was also thinking about some things these days when he was building roads, and he gradually understood that what he did may not have brought him friendship, but may still bring rejection or even hatred.
Xu Sanduo is busy, but for the remaining three salted fish, as long as they are compared to highlight their wasteful behavior, they are the target of their attack, they feel that Xu Sanduo is redundant to repair roads, and playing poker, sleeping a lot, and even drinking by himself are normal operations.
They didn't want to intervene in Xu Sanduo at first, but as Xu Sanduo built day by day, the scale of this road took shape day by day, which made them realize that they were a waste. How can this be, why do I have to be a waste, no, we have to stop the behavior that highlights our waste, they have to start acting.
The night was dark and the wind was high, and the three figures sneaked out of the dormitory, pickaxe and hoe in hand, intending to destroy the path that highlighted their waste, perhaps this venting would make them feel happy.
Along this road, which has been repaired for a fifth of the time, the three of them are walking tap-and-tap, in fact, everyone's heart is a little turbulent. They have studied even in elementary school, but this is what they are doing now, which makes them put another stupidity on their own label of waste.
"You're saying this road is holding us back?" In the end, Lao Wei, who was still unbearable, said that he was known as the smartest person in the fifth class, and he didn't want to add a stupid label to himself.
"Nope." The other two replied.
"Then why are we tigers coming over to destroy this road, thankless?" Lao Wei said again.
The other two were silent, they were also bored with this behavior of their own, others built their own paths, and they continued to salt fish. But it was because other people's behaviors highlighted their own shortcomings, so they retaliated for destruction, which made them feel ashamed, plus Xu Sanduo, who was standing guard, discovered the abnormality here, and suddenly ran here, and several of them immediately ran away, and the road was not destroyed.
I don't know much about my behavior that night, but Lao Ma understands. He was ashamed of this behavior of Class 5, although they did not succeed in the end. He thought that this balance he usually maintained was a success, but he did not expect that this was an example of a loving mother who failed her child.
It reminded him of the past, of the pacesetters who came out of his hands, of his previous dreams, of his thoughts when he came here, and of retiring.
Maybe he's not the good squad leader anymore, he's no longer able to offer his talents here, and he's only disappointed with his superiors. He hoped that this time he would indulge and put away his old standards. Let the fifth class and Xu Sanduo know what the army is like.
