Chapter IV: Military Training (1)
At two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone lined up at the school gate on time to take the school bus, in order to facilitate the counting of the number of people, Zhang Long asked us to sit according to the seats in the class, and I naturally sat with Lu Li.
Some people in the car were excited about the upcoming military life, some people kept complaining because of the harsh and terrifying military training, in short, there was a lot of noise in the car. Because I didn't get enough rest last night, the noise in my ears gave me a headache, and Lu Li next to me began to close his eyes when he first got into the car, and he obviously felt too noisy at this time, and frowned.
I took out the newly bought MP3 from my bag, handed one earphone to Lu Li, and asked cautiously, "Lu Li, do you listen to the song?" ”
Lu Li heard my words, slowly opened his eyes, picked up the earphones and put them in his left ear, and closed his eyes again. I put the other earphone in my right ear and turned on the MP3 to the appropriate volume.
After a while, Lu left the mouth and asked me, "What song is this?" ”
"Mayday's "Stubbornness," I gushed as if the faucet was broken, "Have you ever heard of Mayday?" I was very fond of them when I was a freshman in junior high school. Their songs are very inspirational, and I also used their lyrics in the composition of the high school entrance examination, and later I really got a high score in Chinese. But because they're a rock band, a lot of people think their songs are noisy. ”
"It's quite noisy," Lu Li paused, turned his head and glanced at me, and said, "But it's not bad to cover up the noise outside", and then turned his face out the window and stopped talking.
"yes, that's good." I didn't understand the meaning of Lu Li's words, and I held the MP3 and said to myself proudly.
An hour later, the school bus stopped in front of the gate of a military training base.
Before getting out of the car, Gu Zipei walked up to me and handed me a jar of toothpaste, "Zhenzhen, this is sunscreen, I stole it from my old sister, you wipe it on your face every day, don't get sunburned." As he spoke, he glanced back at Gu Zijin, who was packing her schoolbag on the seat, and after making sure she didn't see it, she continued, "Don't let my sister know." ”
I nodded, smiled at him with appreciation, and tucked the sunscreen into my bag.
After getting off the bus, the instructor took each class away, led us to visit the training ground, equipment room, and canteen, and finally assigned the dormitory to four people, and instructed us to go to the dormitory to tidy up the housekeeping, and after half an hour, change into military training clothes and assemble in the playground.
Unleash the password, and everyone lazily disperses.
Gu Zipei stopped me, "Zhen Zhen, you two wait." ”
Gu Zipei looked around, and then mysteriously took out two small electric fans and a few batteries from his bag, as well as cool oil, and stuffed them into my hands and Gu Zijin's hands.
"This electric fan is battery-based, and when you feel hot when you sleep at night, you turn it on to blow it, and this cooling oil is anti-mosquito, you remember to apply it, there are a lot of mosquitoes here."
Gu Zijin sighed a few times, "I didn't see that your kid is very filial to my sister." ”
Gu Zipei shook his hand at Gu Zijin, "Go and go, I specially prepared it for Zhen Zhen, and I will take your share by the way." ”
When Gu Zijin heard this, he raised his foot and kicked down on Gu Zipei, "You stinky boy of the opposite sex and inhumanity." ”
Gu Zipei immediately jumped away and retorted: "Where are you of the opposite sex, you are a tomboy." ”
The Gu family sisters and brothers fought for a few minutes, I really couldn't stand it, so I stopped it, and Gu Zipei ran away with her luggage.
Gu Zijin and I and two girls were in a dormitory on the third floor, and as soon as we stepped into the dormitory, we saw a girl with short hair standing in the middle of the dormitory, covering her nose with one hand and holding her mobile phone in the other, complaining loudly to the phone, "The quilt smells musty, there is no mosquito net, there is no water heater, how can people live in this broken place, Mom, let my dad complain to the principal, how can we stay in this kind of place for seven days." ”
Gu Zijin and I looked at each other for a few seconds, and then walked past her at the same time and walked to our respective beds.
At this time, a girl with braids walked up to my bedside, smiled softly at me, and said softly: "Hello, my name is Wang Lu, the dew of the dewdrops." ”
I smiled at her too, "Hello, my name is Vera Ye. ”
Gu Zijin came over and waved at Wang Lu to say hello, "Hello, my name is Gu Zijin, Qingqing Zijin's Zijin." ”
"What's that girl's name?" Gu Zijin pointed to the short-haired girl who was still on the phone.
She said her name was Wang Ning. Did you two know each other before? ”
"The two of us have been classmates since elementary school and junior high school, and we have known each other for almost ten years." Gu Zijin stared at the ceiling, his five fingers pinching and calculating, looking like a blind fortune teller.
I burst out laughing, then turned to Wang Lu and asked, "Which school did you go to in junior high school?" ”
Wang Lu bit her lip, blushed a little, lowered her head and said, "I, I was admitted from a rural junior high school, you haven't heard of it." ”
Wang Lu seemed to be ashamed to speak about her junior high school, and I didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, the girl named Wang Ning had already finished the call, she glanced at me and Gu Zijin, and walked straight to the bed to pack her luggage.
The three of us didn't continue chatting and started to pack our bags.
After changing into a camouflage uniform, I took out the sunscreen that Gu Zipei gave me to wipe my face.
Gu Zijin came up and picked up the sunscreen and looked at it carefully for a few seconds, then looked at me suspiciously, "Zhen Zhen, when did you buy this sunscreen too?" ”
"Gu Zipei gave it to me." I obediently confessed, because I knew that any of my lies in front of Gu Zijin would be immediately exposed.
"Gu Zipei, this stinky boy, took my things to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and I had to pick his skin when I went back." Gu Zijin gritted his teeth and said, I secretly sympathize with Gu Zipei in my heart.
Half an hour later, we gathered at the training ground, and the formal military training began.
For an only child who is raised at home like a flower in a greenhouse, military training is indeed a very hard and tiring thing. Get up at half past five every morning to tidy up housekeeping, and the quilts must be folded into squares, and the unqualified ones must be overlapped. Gather at six o'clock, go to the playground and run a few laps before you can have breakfast, then stand in a military posture, walk in military steps, and learn military physical boxing. Before lunch, I sang "Unity is Strength", took a two-hour lunch break, and then followed the morning training in the afternoon. After dinner in the evening, everyone sat and chatted and sang songs.
By the afternoon of the next day, many girls suffered from heat stroke because they couldn't stand the military posture, and the company commander sent each squad leader to the military doctor to receive Huoxiang Zhengqi water, and the others rested on the spot for ten minutes. I sent the potions I brought back to my classmates one by one, and when they were sent to Wang Ning, she was with a black face and a look of displeasure.
I quietly asked Gu Zijin: "What's wrong with Wang Ning?" ”
"Just now, Miss Wang asked Lu Li to help her lie to the instructor about heat stroke, but Lu Li didn't agree. Lu Li's indifferent look when he rejected Wang Ning just now, he was very handsome! ”
After Gu Zijin, a gossip expert, I learned that Wang Ning was in the same school as Lu Li in junior high school and had good grades, but because her parents were the leaders of the Municipal Education Bureau, she had no one in her eyes, and she was arrogant, and her reputation in junior high school was not very good.
Wang Ning may have thought that Lu Li would take care of the feelings of junior high school alumni to help him lie, but he didn't want Lu Li to refuse indifferently, if it were me, it would seem that he would be angry.
I looked in the direction of the station, and he was sitting on the ground, his hat pressed low, and he seemed to be asleep.
Sure enough, before going to bed that night, Wang Ning complained to her mother on her phone about the unfriendliness of her classmates and how unreasonable the instructor was. The other three of us all looked at each other.
On the evening of the third day, the instructor announced that the city leaders had come to visit and that they could move freely in the evening. We were all excited, but we were all so tired that we didn't even have the strength to cheer. Back in the dormitory, we lay on the bed almost like wilted leaves. The feet of the three people in our dormitory were swollen, only Wang Lu looked like a normal person, she said that she came from the countryside, and followed her grandparents to the fields to plant rice and herd cattle since she was a child, and she was used to it all day.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, and Wang Lu, the only one who was not lying down, went to open the door, but the door was closed again in two seconds.
Wang Lu ran to our bedside with a red face and stammered, "Gu Zipei and ...... and Lu Lilai...... Come, get dressed quickly. ”
As soon as I heard that it was Gu Zipei and Lu Li, Gu Zijin and I immediately bounced up from the bed and quickly got dressed. When Wang Ning heard that Lu Li was coming, she snorted coldly and then got up from the bed and straightened her clothes.
After everyone was dressed, Wang Lu opened the door, lowered his head and said, "Please come in." ”
As soon as Gu Zipei entered the door, he unceremoniously sat on the edge of my bed, and Lu Li stood aside. I am not surprised that Gu Zipei came to our dormitory, but I am surprised that Lu Li also came.
Lu Li seemed to see my doubts, pointed at Gu Zipei and said, "He pulled me here." ”
"Gu Zipei, why are you pulling Lu Li to run away from our girls' dormitory?"
Perhaps remembering the hatred of sunscreen, Gu Zijin sat on the bed at this time, massaging the soles of his feet with a displeased face.
"We are here to express our condolences to the girls on behalf of all the boys, everyone has worked hard in the past two days. Look, your feet are swollen. ”
"If you have something to say, you can say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go. What the hell is going on here? Gu Zijin said impatiently.
"That's the case, most of our boys' feet are swollen and worn out these days, and I heard the seniors of the last session say that it will be more comfortable to put something in the insole, so I want to ask you to borrow it...... Borrow ......" Gu Zipei didn't say what he wanted to borrow for a long time, but his face turned red.
"Borrow what?" I couldn't wait to ask.
"Oh, Lu Li, I can't say it." Gu Zipei pushed Lu Li, who was standing next to him, with his hand.
"I only promised to accompany you to the girls' dormitory, but I didn't promise to help you." Lu Li moved indifferently into the distance.
"Let's get out without saying anything, we're going to rest." Gu Zijin stood up from the bed and made a gesture to drive people away.
"Oh, I'd like to borrow some sanitary napkins from you and put them in your shoes."
As soon as he finished speaking, several of us girls also blushed.
"I didn't bring it." Gu Zijin said.
"Neither do I." I shook my head.
"Neither do I." Wang Ning said.
Gu Zipei turned his eyes for help to Wang Lu who was standing in the corner.
"I ...... I seem to have brought it, I'll look for it. ”
Wang Lu walked to the side of the bed embarrassedly, dragged out a large schoolbag from under the bed, rummaged through it for a while, took out a pack of sanitary napkins, and walked to Gu Zipei with a red face.
"Give...... For you, it's new, it's not dismantled. ”
Gu Zipei looked at the sanitary napkin in Wang Lu's hand for a while, but did not take it, he pulled the corner of Lu Li's clothes, and said, "I opened my mouth just now, now you can take this, otherwise I won't give it to you." ”
Lu Li hesitated for a while, stretched out his hand to take the sanitary napkin, and said "thank you". Wang Lu stretched out her hand and brushed the broken hair around her ear, and smiled shyly at Lu Li, the expression on her face was like the shyness of a girl confessing to a boy she had been secretly in love with for many years.
Gu Zipei stood up, patted Lu Li's shoulder, thanked us solemnly and walked out of the dormitory.
After Gu Zipei and the others left, Gu Zijin pulled Wang Lu who looked at the door blankly, "Lulu, do you still have sanitary napkins?" Give us a few pads for shoes. ”
Wang Lu came back to his senses, turned his head and said, "Yes, I'll go get it for you." ”
"Are you enough for yourself?" Gu Zijin asked.
"That's enough, I actually brought quite a lot." Wang Lu smiled and handed us the sanitary napkins.
