Chapter 42: Can eat spicy food, can fight
That night, the punishment training continued.
While the other platoons were hiding in their rooms for shift meetings and resting, the soldiers of the second platoon were still carrying their equipment on their backs and being tossed again and again on the large playground.
Duck step, frog jump, push-up......
However, no one rose up to disobey again.
Including solemnity.
That afternoon's game had already taught a lesson to all the recruits in the second platoon.
When you become a soldier, you are not alone.
As a soldier, you are part of a fighting collective.
A person's honor can be the honor of a platoon, and a person's shame can also be a platoon's shame.
Even the unruly solemnity has gradually realized this.
The army is an alternative world that exists differently from the real world.
Although in this real world, the people living in the army camp also have to face some practical problems that all kinds of people in society have to face, and sometimes they even have to deal with some broken things such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc.
However, it does not prevent a group of men with dark skin and strong muscles, who like to smell gunsmoke, and like to touch steel guns, to establish a set of behavioral rules and thinking that are different from the real society on their own unique territory.
Zhuang Zhuang felt that in the army, no one seemed to reason with him.
They're just talking about orders, or that thing called honor.
This kind of thing is very scarce in the real society, especially in the current era of economic leadership, which is rare.
Just like myself, from the moment I entered the barracks, I had to accept this set of rules that were completely different from my previous life.
At home, Majestic is definitely a rebellious child.
Father Zhuang Zhenguo is also very sad about his little son.
Zhuang Zhenguo is a typical traditional soldier.
Fought a war.
Bleeding.
I've done it with real knives and guns with real enemies.
To fight the battlefield, Zhuang Zhenguo has never been afraid of anyone in his life.
But in the face of his own children, he is like a tiger facing a hedgehog, and he has no way to start.
Due to his long service, Zhuang Zhenguo spent most of his solemn childhood in photographs.
This circumstance has hopelessly led to a cold relationship between the two fathers and sons.
After Zhuang Zhenguo changed jobs, he still had a strong military atmosphere.
The way he educates children is basically the same as that of the army, and he treats the children as his own soldiers.
When the set of troops is put into real life, it is so incompatible, which leads to the complete collapse of the relationship between the two fathers and sons.
His solemn personal requirements were not up to standard.
For example, Zhuang Zhenguo asked his son to cut his hair to a plate, but Zhuang Zheng always kept his hair almost a shawl, and then smeared it with mousse and hairspray in front of the mirror every morning so that even a fly could not stop on it.
For this, he beat his son.
But the solemn character is not afraid of beating at all.
If you hit him, he will stare at you and fight whatever you want.
After the fight, what should he do or what he should do.
This is a bull!
Zhuang Zhenguo suddenly found that his invincible set of education methods in the army could not control his son at all, and he often felt desperate for this.
And the sentence that solemnity is often used to talk back is so ironic - your set has long been outdated!
This sentence is in the period when the economic wave after the reform and opening up has driven the progress of the times, and every new generation will say to their parents.
The difference is just in saying it in the mouth, or muttering it in the heart.
Zhuang Zhenguo, who was helpless, could only pin his hopes on the troops in the end.
The army is a melting pot, Zhuang Zhenguo feels that his son is not hopeless, since this is the case, let him go to the army to be tempered.
Throw this piece of broken iron into the melting pot of the army, and in a few years, it will become a good piece of steel.
But as a son, the solemnity can't understand Zhuang Zhenguo's hard work at all.
There is a bit of realism and pragmatism in accepting this set of rules for the troops.
Since he came to be a soldier and couldn't run away, he could only accept everything here, including the logic of thinking that seemed a little unreasonable to him.
Before Zhuang Zheng came to serve as a soldier, he spent a year in his brother Zhuang Buping's company.
Zhuang Buping is in the building materials and transportation business, and has several large transport vehicles of his own, and he is solemnly responsible for helping him manage the daily expenses of several vehicles.
There is an old driver surnamed Li in the team, who has first-class skills, and he doesn't need to go to the maintenance shop to solve the general minor problems at all.
Solemnly admired this Driver Li so much that he threw himself to the ground, and later asked to know that Driver Li was originally a boss, and he also had two cars to run transportation, but unfortunately he was infected with the vice of gambling, and finally gambled all his family property, in order to live, so he could only come out to help others work.
In the words of Driver Li, this makes people have to accept reality.
Solemnity is like this, he feels that he has to accept the reality, and since he is powerless to resist, then let it be.
The most uncomfortable thing for the recruits in the second platoon was that early the next morning, the battalion commander Teng Wenji fulfilled his promise, and the first platoon of the eighth company, which had won the holiday reward, was led by the platoon commander and squad leader.
Of course, the most uncomfortable is not only the recruits in the second platoon.
There is also platoon commander Adai.
The platoon commander, who was the most coaxive on weekdays, sat at the door of the row room with a small bench that day, his eyes looking directly at the direction of the camp gate, and he didn't know what he was thinking all day.
After the recruits went out for training, Adai asked all the squad leaders to come back to the platoon room for a meeting, leaving only one deputy squad leader to lead the team.
What this meeting of squad leaders said, no one knows.
However, when he was standing guard the next night, Yan Yan heard some words from Yin Xiancong's mouth.
It was already the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the atmosphere of the New Year in the new barracks was not too warm, but a pair of Spring Festival coupons uniformly distributed in the battalion were still posted on the door of each row room.
Dinner was rich, eight dishes and one soup, and beer, but the recruits were limited to one bottle per person.
This is the most hearty meal that has been eaten in the barracks.
Because he found that he could finally accept chili peppers, something that he would never sweep away before.
Before joining the army, solemnly did not eat spicy, but when I got here, the dishes were almost spicy.
Fried chili with egg, fried chili with chicken, fried chili with pork, fried chili with luncheon meat......
Even fried lettuce should be put in chili peppers......
The veterans of the cooking class don't seem to know how to stir-fry without chili.
Regarding this matter, Zhuang Yan once protested to Platoon Commander Adai.
But Ah Dai's eyes widened after hearing this, and he said: "If you can eat spicy food, you can fight!" Any idea why you're training so badly now? It's because you can't eat spicy! ”
A baseless snatch of white choked solemn and rolled his eyes.
