Chapter Twenty-Three: The Test of Carrying Water Tolerance after meals

On the first day that Chen Qiang came to the Eighth Company, Instructor Du threw him a "hot potato", he was very surprised, and it was really funny, is he really a "jack-of-all-trades"? But no matter how difficult it is, he has to fire the "first shot" in the Eighth Company! He sat and thought about it for a long time, without a clue, and couldn't help but feel irritated in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this way, the military horn sounded at noon, and Chen Qiang walked to the bathroom on the south side of the dormitory with his basin, and there was a large cistern as soon as he entered the door, which was used to prevent water outages.

Immediately against the walls on both sides are two long rows of pools, which are equipped with dozens of faucets for the daily needs of the soldiers of the whole company, so under normal circumstances, they have to queue up for water. The walls and pools are covered with small snow-white tiles, and the floor is a solid concrete floor.

Chen Qiang walked to the pool, stepped forward and turned on the faucet, put half a basin of tap water, then carefully washed his face, and hurried back to the dormitory in the third row. After a while, the bugle sounded again.

"Get off the ground, each platoon go down," the platoon on duty today shouted to the dormitory of each platoon. Chen Qiang and other platoon members came to the tool room on the south side of the dormitory under the gathering of the platoon commander, and picked up their labor tools one after another to do their own work.

"Squad leader, I'm going to fetch water in the field." Chen Qiang picked up two wooden barrels and said to squad leader Huang. "Okay, there you go! Remember to watch the road! Ah, Guo Zhixin, Lang Ji'an, you two, take a flat pole and pick up a wooden barrel one after the other and follow me, I will hand over the "fertilization" work of the greenhouse to you. The squad leader said as he walked out of the utility room with a long tin spoon.

Chen Qiang and the other veterans in the platoon lined up and slowly walked to the vegetable field of the third row and eight classes. "Chen Qiang, what are you doing in the afternoon?" At this time, Xu Zhiqiang, a third-year soldier of the eighth class who was walking in front, spoke, "Ah, hello squad leader Xu, squad leader Huang asked me to water the northernmost pieces of small greens in the afternoon. ”

Chen Qiang said with a smile. "Okay, you must slow down, you can't be in a hurry in this work, take a rest by yourself when you are tired, no one will say anything about you; If you need help, you just shout at the ground, "Thank you!" The two of them were talking and laughing, and they walked to the vegetable field in less than five minutes.

"Let's go, let's carry water together", Xu Hongbing, a veteran in the platoon, said and pulled Chen Qiang, he didn't know where to carry water anyway, and was about to ask others, so Xu squad leader came to call him.

He was happy, so he followed, and it turned out that there was a small pond on the east side of the vegetable field, about an acre in size!

Even when you go down to the pond, you have to go up the next dirt slope, although you have stepped out of a path, but you can go down with an empty bucket, but if you carry two buckets full of water, it will take a lot of strength!

At this time, more than a dozen recruits with wooden barrels also followed, and it seems that they have also received "guidance from experts"!

After Xu Hongbing went down by himself first, he filled the wooden barrels he was carrying in the pond one by one.

Then use the two ends of the flat shoulder, wear it in the rope buckle tied on the edge of the two barrels, then sink down, put the flat shoulder on his right shoulder, and the left and right hands tightly grasp the long rope worn on the edge of the barrel in front and behind, gradually straighten up, step by step to the slope, after a while, he easily picked the barrel and walked up, and then picked it not far away and put it down, ready to come over to help the recruits.

At this time, Chen Qiang had also gone down to the pond, he learned it in a good way, and after beating the water, he picked up the wooden barrel, and used the inner strength of the "Golden Dragon Hand" in the palm of the dragon gossip, and the inner strength of the dantian was on his feet and legs, and he walked up the uphill path step by step.

"That's good! You've done this at home before! Everyone has seen it, this Chen Qiang is doing very well. Don't be in a hurry, you still have to take your time, that's how we all came."

"It's the hardest uphill climb, it's easy to walk on flat ground, the key is to master the skill of balance. After a long time, you will be able to do everything, and you will naturally get used to it! Xu Hongbing said and handed over a cigarette, Chen Qiang quickly took it, and then lit his match and took a big puff.

The other recruits were not so lucky, only a few such as Cai Cheng, a Sichuan recruit in a row, and Wang Zhiguo, a Shandong recruit in the fifth row, picked them up, and the rest cried anxiously below; Some stood aside and were silently stunned; Others are just going up hard, and the result must have been a big fall. For a time, this small pond seemed to have become an insurmountable "chasm" for the recruits.

The veteran Xu Hongbing didn't look at the joke, but shouted the three recruits who came up smoothly and helped everyone pick up the buckets together. This taught them to pick only half a bucket of water or even less each time, and then increase the amount of water every day, and they can fill it up after a long time. In this way, the recruits carried a small half bucket, and when they came to pick up the water again, it was much easier, and no one came out of the "foreign appearance" anymore.

Chen Qiang is like this, picking back and forth dozens of times in the afternoon, and after arriving at the vegetable field, he sprinkles the iron spoon on the ground one by one to the field, although his physical fitness is good, and he is quite adaptable, but other recruits are tired like "panting old cows" under such a large workload.

In this way, when the class horn sounded, he carefully watered the five vegetable patches with small greens from beginning to end. "Gone, gone, everybody went back!" At this time, the voice of a platoon leader sounded in the field again, and Chen Qiang hurriedly picked up two more wooden barrels and went back to the dormitory with the veterans.

He first put the wooden bucket into the tool room with others, and then hurried back to the dormitory to take out the basin and go to the bathroom, to clean himself up simply, good guy, it is muddy water when you wash it! He couldn't help but shake his head and change the water again.

When I returned to the dormitory, I took off my coat and pants again, went to the courtyard outside, patted and shook the soil on my clothes a few times, and then I put it on. Poured a glass of boiled water, it was very hot! He couldn't wait, so he ran to the bathroom with the green tea jar, put half of the tap water, and drank it all as soon as he looked up. It's really killing him with thirst, it seems that he will have to bring his own water cup to the vegetable field in the future!

At this time, the squad leader and they also came back, and Chen Qiang smelled the faint smell of medicine on Guo Zhixin and Lang Jiping's bodies, and he couldn't help but stay away. Squad leader Huang focused on Chen Qiang's work in the afternoon.

Chen Qiang honestly reported: "It took dozens of trips before and after to finally finish pouring it, but I was tired enough!" ”。

The squad leader was very happy after hearing this, and said: "I also heard that other comrades in the platoon have reported that you not only carried water for watering the vegetable field by yourself in the afternoon, but also helped other recruit comrades in the platoon to carry water. In addition, you should take your time in your work, you can't finish the work all at once, and don't work so hard in the future! ”

After Chen Qiang heard this, he really couldn't wait to roll his eyes, you have to finish pouring it all, now that I have done it, you said to take your time, this good person has let you do it!

However, he still did not show his bad feelings, and said vigorously: "I will definitely change in the future!" Under the leadership of the squad leader, you must work hard! At this time, he had forgotten how he hated Lang Ji'an for filming the squad leader's "sycophants".

At this time, the opening call sounded again, and the soldiers repeated the actions of the morning and noon, and lined up at the door of the canteen to gather, sing, and eat. At dinner time, Instructor Du arranged for each class to go to the camp headquarters on the large playground after dinner.

Go dig some tree pits ready to plant trees, and say that the Pan documents of the battalion headquarters have been marked with white lime powder in the places to be dug, and they must be dug in accordance with the requirements of the battalion headquarters at night to ensure that they can be completed before the lights go out at nine o'clock in the evening!

After everyone listened, no one spoke, who is not tired after this day's work! I have to work overtime this night, it's really choking! The veterans looked at the recruits and were happy, anyway, according to the rules, there must be no business for them, and they used to do it step by step from the company of the recruits.

After Chen Qiang heard this, he thought that he couldn't run away anyway, instead of being named and sent by the Huang squad leader, it was better to take the initiative himself, so he took his heart sideways, and "recommended himself" when he was eating, just like that, the other two recruits in the class, Guo Zhiming and Lang Ji'an, couldn't help but have some good feelings for him, and the mood was also very relaxed when eating.

After dinner, the Eighth Company gathered all the "tolerances" in front of the company department, walked to the battalion headquarters with iron fibers, shovels, pickaxes and other tools to report for duty, and was finally arranged to dig at the easternmost end of the playground. When I got to the place, I saw that I had to dig dozens of them. There are technical requirements for digging tree pits, and they need to be one meter deep on the left and right, and the amount of earthwork is really not small, almost one person has to dig three!

Ma Youde, the leader of the platoon on duty, then divided the workload of each person, this kid only dug two in his platoon, and let the recruits in other platoons dig three to four, this Ma Youde is really a ghost who lacks morality, such a person can also be a cadre, speechless! Chen Qiang screamed fiercely at a row of long bellies in his heart.

Fortunately, Chen Qiang was arranged for three, and looking at the other recruits who were arranged to dig four tree pits and wanted to cry without tears, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart.

In this way, under the moonlight like mercury, the recruits, under the leadership of a platoon of long Ma Youde, some of them also used their own flashlights, worked hard for more than two hours, and finally finished at about 8:20, all the recruits with a body of mud and sweat, and walked to the Eighth Company with neat steps.
