The wake-up call echoed at the base, piercing through the hazy and slightly cold air, far away and bright.

"Get up!" As soon as the wake-up call rang, the squad leader Xiang Haotian quickly sat up from the bed and shouted to the recruits in the squad while dressing neatly.

Jiang Xiao slept on Xiang Hao's bunk, heard the voice of the squad leader, sat up, the cold cold of the early morning on the plateau made him shiver, and he woke up in an instant, and looked at the time of the clock at the door, it was half past six.

Jiang Xiao quickly put on his clothes, feeling much better than yesterday, feeling a lot more refreshed, folding the quilt, combing the sheets, going down the bed ladder to the ground, and seeing that the squad leader Xiang Haotian had already neatly arranged the bed at this time, the sheets that were smooth without a trace of wrinkles, and the sculpture-like "tofu block". This is the housekeeping on the soldier's bed, the standard of a work of art, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but sigh.

The others were sleepy-eyed and slowly dressed, as if they hadn't realized they were in the barracks.

"Hurry up!" Xiang Haotian shouted loudly.

Everyone got dressed, made up the bed, and came to Xiang Haotian to gather one after another.

"As I said, since you have just come to the army and need to buffer altitude sickness, you will not come according to the standards of the army today, and today I will mainly familiarize you with the daily life system of the army, and it will be officially implemented from tomorrow!" After lining up the team, Xiang Haotian stood in front of the queue and said solemnly, "Everyone heard it, the horn just now is the wake-up number of the troops, and the troops get up at half past six in winter, and after getting up, they first use the fastest time to sort out the internal affairs, go out to see the queue, and enter the door to see the internal affairs, which is an important embodiment of the work style of the troops......"

From housekeeping to evening class meetings, the recruits felt like they had experienced four seasons in a day.

"The theme of today's class meeting is the selection of class deputies!" Xiang Haotian said seriously, "The deputy of the squad is a person who assists the squad leader in his work, and at the same time plays a positive role model. We choose democratically. Today, we all got along for a day. Everyone now writes the name of the deputy in their hearts on a piece of paper, and does not discuss, communicate, just write it down. The one with the highest number of votes is the deputy of the class! ”

Xiang Haotian took the piece of paper handed over, and said with an expression that was not expected to be planned: "Have you discussed it, everyone chooses Jiang Xiao, except for himself." ”

Jiang Xiao looked at everyone a little inexplicably.

"Report to the squad leader, we didn't discuss. Today, from getting up, learning to tidy up housekeeping, to the queue outside, Jiang Xiao is doing the best in all aspects! These are the facts, and we all see them. Ouyang Ming reported that he said.

"Report to the squad leader, what Ouyang Ming said is right, and Jiang Xiao will also take the initiative to help us learn things about housekeeping and queues, we all trust him!" Ge Xiaoliang then reported.

"That's what the rest of you think too?" Xiang Haotian listened to the words of the two and looked at the others in the class and asked.

Everyone nodded earnestly.

"Okay, after the democratic decision of the third class, I announce that the deputy of the class is Jiang Xiao!" Xiang Haotian announced.

Jiang Xiao looked at everyone calmly in the applause.

"Class deputy, let's say a few words." Xiang Haotian smiled.

"Thank you to the squad leader and comrades-in-arms for their recognition! I will do my best as a squad deputy in the back, assist the squad leader's work, and set a positive example! I believe that with the leadership of our so-called 'bully' squad leader, as well as the joint efforts of my comrades-in-arms, the third class will definitely get stronger and stronger until it is the strongest! Jiang Xiao said seriously.

The words were greeted with warm applause.

This sentence is not a talk, but a trace of the third squad of the Eighth Company being confirmed step by step during the three-month new training in the new barracks.

In the blink of an eye, the next day came, and the wake-up call sounded.

Jiang Xiao quickly got dressed, sorted out the housekeeping on the bed, jumped off the bed ladder and rushed out of the squad door to stand behind the squad leader, preparing to assemble the company according to the squad system, Ouyang Ming, Ge Xiaoliang and several other people in the squad followed one after another while buttoning their clothes and pulling their belts. Xiang Haotian turned his head and glared at the few people who came in a hurry and a little embarrassed, turned his head and shouted loudly: "There are three shifts, run and go!" One-two-one, one-two-one, one-two-three-four! ”

"One, two, three, four!" The recruits in the squad shouted the password loudly and followed Xiang Haotian to the door of the company and ran to the queue.

"Stand! Turn left! Joining the team, Xiang Hao gave a good order, and glanced at the rest of the people in the squad who were standing crookedly except for Jiang Xiao, although they were the first day of officially entering the rhythm of the army, they still couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Here, let's get the team together! Everybody, take a break! Attention! Look to the right, look forward! Take a break, stand upright! The platoon commander on duty shouted the slogan of the whole team loudly, only listening to the sound of crackling footsteps in the queue, the platoon commander on duty frowned and turned to salute and report to the company next to the queue: "Report to the company commander, the company has been assembled before the morning exercise, please instruct!" ”

"Nothing to instruct! Listen to the crackling footsteps in this queue and set off firecrackers! The foundation of this group of soldiers is too poor! Step up your training! The platoon commander on duty took the drill! The instructor took the rest of the platoon commanders to each squad to check the housekeeping! That's it! Even Davaro reprimanded sternly.

All the recruits below couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, feeling that the hard days were really about to begin, Jiang Xiao's eyes flashed a streamer, as if he was looking forward to something.

"All of them, turn right! Run and go! The platoon commander on duty gave an order and led the company to run towards the cement runway of the base, but it was still crackling.

On the first day, I went out in a highland environment, jogging for one kilometer and walking two kilometers with the company's recruits. Everyone seemed to be dying, panting back to the door of the company, and after disbanding, they returned to the squad, and found that a lot of housekeeping quilts had been thrown out of the corridor, and some were in the toilet.

"What's going on?" Ge Xiaoliang was puzzled.

Everyone had an ominous premonition, and returned to the dormitory out of breath, seeing that except for the squad leader and Jiang Xiao's housekeeping quilts on the bed, all the other people's housekeeping quilts were gone, and the sheets were torn off.

Everyone looked at each other with a puzzled expression, Jiang Xiao shook his head calmly and looked at everyone.

"Those who are thrown out are all unqualified in the housekeeping inspection, those who are 'a piece of' in housekeeping will be thrown out, and the sheets are not paved and wrinkled when they are torn open. A piece of housekeeping on Jiang Xiao's bed was barely thrown away. The items in the washing area are placed, and there are ......" Xiang Haotian suddenly shouted sternly when he entered the house.

Everyone was dumbfounded and stared at the squad leader at a loss.

"Because you've wasted so much time on your today! There are still ten minutes to gather for dinner, and ten minutes to get all your housekeeping in order, at least get back to their places! Otherwise, don't eat! Xiang Haotian suddenly calmed down and said lightly.

Hearing this, everyone in the class immediately exploded, and hurriedly rushed out to look for their housekeeping quilts.

Jiang Xiao took advantage of this time to come to the washing area and quickly put in order the stacked non-compliant towels that were torn off by the comrades in the class and the non-compliant toiletries that were thrown aside.

All the comrades-in-arms in the squad finally barely got in place and gathered in the company before dinner, and the second squad next door was not so lucky.

In the morning queue training, the crackling action made Xiang Hao Tianhuo all morning. In the winter of the plateau, the sun is still scorching during the day, and training under the scorching sun makes people even more tired and anxious.

Back in the dormitory, I was faced with the same scene, the housekeeping quilt that was thrown out, the sheets that were torn open, and the entire lunch break was spent in confrontation with the devilish housekeeping quilt.

In the afternoon queue training, the movements are not standard, the movements are inconsistent, the queue is small and small, and the queue speaks...... It also puts training in dire straits.

Afternoon physical time, 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 30 pull-ups, three kilometers of lightweight......

Every item Jiang Xiao seemed to be much easier to complete than other comrades-in-arms, and all this was not only seen by Xiang Haotian, but also by Davaro.

Not surprisingly, back in the dormitory, the picture is still the same.

After dinner, the company collectively watched the news in the study room, and after returning to the class until the lights went out, everyone gritted their teeth and used all their body weight and strength, and pressed the housekeeping with all their might.

"Squad leader, how did you do your 'tofu block'? It feels so hard! Ge Xiaoliang struggled to press the quilt while asking the squad leader who was sitting next to him watching TV.

"Just like you, when you are a recruit, you are thrown out again and again, and then you pick it up again and again, and keep pressing, and keep stacking!" Xiang Haotian said seriously.

"Ahh How many more times will I be thrown! Ouyang Ming said with a bitter face.

"It's a natural success! The housekeeping quilt itself is to polish the hearts of the soldiers, and it is an important embodiment of the good style of the soldiers! So, come on, everyone! Xiang Haotian said seriously, "I've been following me for almost five years!" I have feelings! ”

"I heard that the guns and housekeeping of soldiers were spent longer during the service than with their wives, and they all have deep feelings!" Jiang Xiao said thoughtfully while pressing the quilt.

"Definitely! But then again, except for officers and some senior non-commissioned officers, aren't all the troops basically singles! Ha ha! Listening to Jiang Xiao's words, Xiang Haotian smiled bitterly.

One sentence drew laughter from the audience.

"That's right, I had a girlfriend before I became a soldier, and I basically divided it into the army! What woman in this era would wait for a man for two years, and everything is still unknown after two years! Ge Xiaoliang is not a big person, but he said a lot of real truths.

"There's nothing wrong with it, my girlfriend was divided when I came to be a soldier, but it doesn't matter, with our handsome face and the experience of the army, I'm worried that I can't find my girlfriend when I go back, hahaha!" Ouyang Ming seemed to be heavy, so he said happily.

"I don't have much culture, so I can only tell you in the vernacular, although the army is very hard and tired, many times you will feel very difficult and even want to give up! But it is this rare experience that will teach us a lot of things, so that we can really grow and slowly transform into a real soldier, a real soldier! The soil under his feet and the sweat and blood flowing out of his feet are all the bearers of a PLA soldier! Xiang Haotian said seriously, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

After listening to the squad leader's words, everyone fell silent and pressed the quilt even harder!

As soon as the lights out, after a day of new training, the recruits climbed into bed and fell asleep physically and mentally exhausted.

"Wait for you for two years!" When parting, Jian Wen's words echoed in his ears again, and Jiang Xiao's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

The barracks is an extraordinary holy place, where glory and mission, responsibility and responsibility are bred.

The rebirth of the eagle, the phoenix nirvana, all the transformation and rebirth need to go through the baptism of storm and darkness, only the real warrior gritted his teeth and insisted on walking through such a period of darkness, loneliness, thunderstorms, thorns and thorns, in order to usher in the dawn of the dawn and achieve another better self.

Everything has just begun, and the real baptism is still waiting for them.

Jiang Xiao closed his eyes and prepared for the arrival of a new day.
