Chapter 3 Small Duty
Why be a soldier? Xu Fei wanted to say that he was here to undergo exercise, but he thought that he still had to earn a performance when he first came, so he said:
"Be a soldier, fight! Do your duty! Protect your family and your country! ”
"That's right, my ideological consciousness is quite high, and I deserve to be a college student. Do you have military training at your university? ”
"Yes." Xu Fei replied honestly, "But we only did it for ten days at the time, and we still did it at school." ”
"Oh, okay. Next. ”
"Report to the squad leader, my name is Zeng Zixuan, 18 years old, 1.70 meters, from Shanxi, hobby, woman."
Zeng Zixuan's words caused everyone to laugh at each other, and the tense atmosphere began to relax.
Zeng Zixuan said that he loved women, and he originally wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but Tang Gen said with a dark face:
"Again, it's class meeting time, it's a very serious matter! Don't flick your tongue again when you have a meeting in the future, do you hear? ”
"Yes!" Zeng Zixuan, who was originally triumphant, suddenly wilted.
"Knowing that you love women, say! How many girlfriends have you had before? ”
"Report, report to squad leader, 5...... No, 3...... Two. ”
"The kid is not honest, and he is still ambushed. Okay, I'll go back and try you again. What do you do at home? ”
"Dig, mine."
"Hey! Dare to love is the rich second generation. Why did you come to the army? ”
"No, no, my dad doesn't want to see me, he has to let me come, saying that I am not stunned, hanging Erlang all day long, and let me come to the army to make trouble. I had no choice but to come. ”
"You're in Mandarin? Okay, next. ”
"Report to the squad leader, my name is Wang Hao, age 18, height 172, Hubei, hobby, playing games"
……
The recruits introduced themselves one by one, and Xu Fei secretly remembered in his heart that these would be his recruit comrades-in-arms, getting along day and night, and it would be good to know each other earlier.
There is a migrant worker's child named Tang Yuanhua, a little fat man from Chengdu named Zhang Xiaodong, and a somewhat gentle-looking man named Li Yuyang.
After the introduction, squad leader Tang began to sing a one-man show, first reassuring everyone, and then talking about some discipline in the army, and Lala talked for more than an hour.
Before going to bed at night, squad leader Tang called hot water and personally washed the feet of the recruits, and then the platoon commander Guo Shiqiang of the third platoon also came, washing the feet of the recruits one by one with a basin of water.
Feeling the warmth of the green barracks, Xu Fei's homesickness also lightened.
But then Platoon Commander Guo's words made people feel more homesick and miss their parents. I saw him take out a mobile phone and say to the recruits:
"It's not popular to write letters now, so let's use my mobile phone to report to my family! Take turns to play, one by one. There is a one-minute time limit for each person! ”
……
Early the next morning, Xu Fei was woken up by the wake-up call while still asleep, and he came back from running two laps with the team in a daze, so tired that he was panting.
Zhang Xiaodong was even more miserable, he couldn't hold on to it in the first lap, and was directly dragged down by Tang Gen in the back, so he fell behind.
Fortunately, Company Commander Xu didn't say anything, and just asked everyone to hurry back and sort out their internal affairs.
In fact, it's just folding quilts.
Back in class, Don Root carried his quilt to the middle of the floor and called everyone over to surround him.
"Come here! Come here! I'll teach you how to fold quilts, and you have to learn how to fold quilts when you are a soldier. We first flattened it and compacted it, then folded it like this, then folded it like this, stuck one end with both hands, and pressed out the strip print...... In the same way, fold the other side, with force...... The middle is also a stripe, yes, like that...... Then, trim the straight line, straighten the ends, and smooth out the folds ......"
Tang Gen was talking and doing it, and soon a boxy tofu block quilt appeared. Tang Gen carefully carried the quilt to the head of the bed and placed it.
"Put it here, do you see the middle position? That's it, you fold your quilt first, I'll wash up, and I'll come back later to see how you fold it. ”
Squad Leader Tang went out, Xu Fei sat on the bed, spread out the quilt, and lay down against the wall, just watching his comrades-in-arms work on their respective beds, motionless, and didn't know what they were thinking.
Li Yuyang, who was on the top of the bunk opposite, turned his head to look at Xu Fei, didn't speak, and went down to the middle of the floor with the quilt in his arms, and began to fold the quilt on the ground.
Tang Yuanhua, who was next to him in the middle, did the same, and also hugged the quilt and folded it on the ground.
The space on the top bunk is limited, and the quilt can't be spread, so it's better to get it on the ground and fold it. The other recruits on the upper bunk also wanted to get it down, but the ground had already been occupied by Li Yuyang and Tang Yuanhua, so they had to wait on the bed silently.
"Xu Fei, why don't you fold?" Zhang Xiaodong, the little fat man next to his top bunk, asked him.
"Oh." Xu Fei answered and did not move. He was a bit of a slight procrastination and didn't want to get his hands dirty until the last minute. And he thinks it's very simple to fold the quilt, just look at it once, and fold it later!
Tang Gen came back, and saw that Tang Yuanhua was sitting on the ground and pressing his quilt hard, Li Yuyang was trying to straighten the angle, and everyone else was consciously acting, only Xu Fei was too lazy to move.
"Xu Fei, what's wrong?"
"Uh, nothing, sit down for a while." Xu Fei continued to lie down in Ge You's posture and replied against the wall.
"I told you to fold the quilt! Everyone else is stacking, why don't you? ”
"Oh." Xu Fei finally sat up and shook off the quilt on the bed. "Squad leader, can't you open it here?"
"Figure it out for yourself!" Tang Gen replied without raising his head.
"Oh." Xu Fei responded, so he had to unfold half of it first and then fold the other half. At the time, he thought that folding the quilt was simple, but when it came time to do it himself, he realized that the quilt he folded was not like that at all.
The quilt is out of his hand, and it looks like a steamed bun, how awkward it looks!
He looked down at Squad Leader Tang's quilt, which was square like a piece of tofu block, with edges and corners, and it looked very beautiful.
Even Li Yuyang's quilt is somewhat formed.
Why can't I fold it?
Xu Fei was ruthless, shook off the quilt, and did it again. But the folded quilt still looked like a swollen loaf of bread.
Damn it! This quilt is simply going to bounce up on its own, okay!
He thought discouragedly, and with a wave of his hand, he lifted the quilt and threw it on the bed, looking at the quilt in a daze.
"Squad leader, what are we doing in the morning?" Zeng Zixuan, who was next to Tang Gen's bed, asked.
"Morning? Fold the quilt in the morning! It is not good to fold at noon. ”
Yes?
Everyone was taken aback. "What about the afternoon?"
"Afternoon training, standing in a military posture. Hurry up and fold your quilt, and I'll see which of you folds it first. ”
At this moment, the whistle blew.
Hush...... Hush!
The watchman shouted at the top of his voice below:
"Each class is on duty, assemble!"
Small duty?
Xu Fei was stunned for a moment, not knowing what a small duty was.
"There you go!" Unexpectedly, Tang Gen directly ordered Xu Fei.
Xu Fei answered, quickly slipped out of bed, hurriedly put on his shoes and ran down. I saw that there were already eight people standing below, all waiting for him.
"Look to the right! Look forward! Turn right! 1st place, take away! ”
The first place was a veteran squad leader, who took everyone directly to the canteen, and actually let them eat first!
