Chapter 20: The Human Heart Is Complicated

Deepening your relationship doesn't happen overnight.

Therefore, Xiao Chen, who came to the playground, just joined the ranks of a group of people frolicking, and obtained a rare peace before the start of recruit training.

Leaving homesickness aside, the recruits have somewhat regained their senses. Everyone knows that this peace is very rare, and it is very likely that they will not be able to get it for the next period of time, so that in the frolic, mutual feelings have increased a lot.

"Xiao Chen, why do you feel that you are different from us?"

The recruits who asked this question were not from Xiao Chen's county.

In fact, it's not just him, many recruits who can't tell Xiao Chen what he has done in the past few months have this kind of question. Of course, along with this kind of question, it is envy, yearning, and the desire to be appreciated by the squad leader like Xiao Chen.

"He's a prodigy in our county, but he's a college student from a prestigious university. He is familiar with the people from our armed forces department, and he received my registration form. ”

Yi Tuqian, who is from Dahu Township, seems to be very proud of this. Xiao Chen is a fellow countryman with him, and it is naturally excellent to find such a fellow in the army as an example and support.

These teenagers who were not deeply involved in the world were stunned when they heard Yi Tuqian's slightly ostentatious words. In their eyes, the Ministry of Armed Forces is like a unit. A few of them begged their grandfather to tell their grandmother to put the quota on themselves.

And Xiao Chen, when they were desperate to become soldiers, they all went to work in the armed forces department.

This kind of huge gap instantly knocked out the self-confidence of all the recruits in the fourth class who wanted to compete with Xiao Chen, and they couldn't help but feel a feeling of admiration and respect for the peer in front of them who didn't seem to be much stronger than them.

"Boss Xiao, I can't do it, you have to help me more in the future."

It is human nature to cling to the strong. Especially when everyone is in an unfamiliar environment, this kind of emotion of trying to cling will be slightly magnified.

Some recruits who were not very confident in themselves expressed their wishes at that time, and they could see the behavior of folding quilts for the fifth shift in the morning, and how comfortable it was to solve housework easily and happily. It would be nice if Xiao Chen could help them do the same.

Regarding the title of "Boss Xiao", Xiao Chen shook his head.

"The army doesn't do that in society, so don't call me any boss. It is appropriate for comrades to help each other, and as long as I can do it, I will naturally help you. But don't expect me to be the same as that talent, that's not helping you, it's harming you. ”

The recruits still don't know what a help is and what a harm is.

Or, at least Xiao Chen's unwillingness to get started directly like Chengcai was enough to disappoint them.

There was a kind of alienation in the eyes of many people, but Xiao Chen was not moved by this.

If you don't completely get rid of this dependence in your heart, the few people present are afraid that you will never become a soldier. Or rather, they are just wearing a military uniform, and in their bones, they are just a civilian who needs to be protected by real warriors.

But on the battlefield, there is no treaty or convention that will protect the lives of people in military uniform.

Because they are all combatants.

Not civilians.

A break after a meal ended in total silence.

Back in the dormitory, the fifth class is centered on becoming a talent, and they are gathering together to talk about interesting things about their hometowns. If they are familiar with each other, they will also expose their weaknesses, so that the atmosphere of Class 5 becomes very harmonious.

That's right, it's harmony.

Chengcai seems to be born with a talent that can bring many people together, when he is in his hometown, he can gather his peers in the village, and here, he can gather a class of recruits.

If it weren't for the competition between the two squads from squad leader to recruits that anyone with a discerning eye can see, maybe the recruits of the fourth class would be more willing to get together with Chengcai at this time and tell the story of their hometown, so as to integrate into this lively circle and get more friendship and more help.

In the words of Xiao Chen's hometown in his previous life, this is called a group.

This is a kind of behavior in an unfamiliar environment, out of interest and dependence, with the help of the natural closeness and trust of fellow villagers, spontaneously forming small groups.

However, in Xiao Chen's experience, this kind of behavior will eventually end with most of the rapid adaptation to the environment, or the concentrated outbreak of conflicts of interest.

So Xiao Chen was not interested.

Nothing is more practical than doing your own thing and then helping others if you can.

The time for frolicking on the playground was enough to eat, Xiao Chen lay on the bed, directly opened the folded quilt and began to take a nap. Years of experience in school life have allowed him to fall asleep quickly and unaffected in a noisy environment, a rare habit that applies even to an unfamiliar environment like the Recruit Company.

The recruits of the fifth class saw Xiao Chen's outstanding behavior, and they were a little disdainful in their hearts.

They can intuitively feel the dullness of the atmosphere of Class 4 at this time.

Chengcai Nunu mouthed, gestured to the two fellows around him, and then the two recruits turned into lobbyists, got up and came to the bed of the fourth class, and began to invite the recruits of the fourth class to join them in understanding each other.

As for Xiao Chen, since he has become a crane, he is naturally excluded.

The recruits of the fourth class hesitated in their hearts, but they did not hesitate for too long.

Although they knew that the two classes were competing, this competition did not seem to be comparable to their friendship as fellow countrymen. Take advantage of this time to have a good chat, let the familiar country sound pour into their ears, and then forget all the discomfort here, in their hearts, this is a good choice.

After chatting for a while, the content of the chat began to shift to the respective situations of the two classes.

The recruits of Class 5 were a little excited.

This morning, their housekeeping was more standard than that of the fourth shift, and the speed was also fast, and the squad leader Wu Liuyi also expressed his appreciation to them when he was eating. And the success that caused this result was naturally highly praised and supported by the recruits of the fifth class:

"Chengcai has helped us a lot today. When you were eating just now, you didn't see our squad leader so happy. Alas, I said, brothers, what's the matter with that guy in your class? Obviously, he folds the quilt faster than Chengcai, why don't he help you fold it? ”

There are many people with a lot of mouths, and sometimes it is inevitable that there will be such people who like to do things.

In this comparison, the recruits of the fourth class suddenly felt that Xiao Chen was indeed a little too selfish. Compared with becoming a talent, the character of this college student is a lot worse.

Their expressions suddenly looked a little unsightly.

And Chengcai, who was sitting in the middle of the crowd, did not seem to stop such a discussion, but let it develop.
