Chapter 8: The Calm Before the Storm
Just now, I was just listening to the impassioned speech of the company commander, and I was so hungry that I didn't pay attention to the basin with noodles.
Now that he is full, Chen Ming remembered that he had read a report in his previous life, and it was Xu Sanduo, the squad leader, who talked about the topic of "Not enough tools, not suitable teacups" in an interview.
The basin in that show can be described as "experienced in a hundred battles", up to the kitchen, down to the thatched house, and in the middle you can take time to go to the training ground, what to do with the artifact.
No matter how lonely Chen Ming is, as the director of the sports school in his previous life, he has heard the story of the "Little Yellow Basin".
This thing is legendary in every unit, yellow for the military, and green or white for the armed police force.
The usefulness is almost the same.
Wash your hands and face this is the way to go.
Foot washing, bathing, and PP washing are all common.
Washing clothes, washing smelly socks, washing underwear, routine operations.
Not only that, before the 12-year alcohol ban came out, the army still used it to hold beer for dinner, and when they came back from work, they didn't have anything to eat, and a few people used it to fill instant noodles.
Pulling and training in the field, many people blocked the dry toilet on the way, and it also served as a means of removal and transportation....
"Gross..."
The more Chen Ming thought about it, the less fragrant the noodles in the bowl became, and even his stomach began to churn, and the chicken breast with white flowers was no longer attractive.
"Brother, slow down, are you going to vomit?" Wang Shuaibing, who was still feasting next to him, looked at Chen Ming with clear eyes.
"Eat slowly, if you're too hungry, you can eat so hard."
"It's okay, I'm fine."
Chen Ming shook his head, the other people in the cafeteria were eating, and he could make a vomiting sound, he was the number one.
At this time, Zhao Lifei's eyes also came, as if he knew what Chen Ming was thinking, and deliberately knocked on the edge of the bowl with chopsticks: "No waste is allowed, eating well is the premise." ”
"But if you fight too much, then it's on the premise of eating and supporting."
"When we come here to serve as soldiers, we are all supported by the people, and every penny of military spending cannot be wasted."
"You also have to remember that if food is wasted in the army, the punishment will be very severe, not only individuals, but also squad leaders, and even company commanders may be implicated."
"You know what?"
"I understand." Chen Ming nodded quickly, and the big meal he had eaten before kept flashing in his mind, forcibly interrupting the memories just now.
It can be said that in just a few minutes, Chen Ming almost recalled all the happy things he had experienced before and the big meals he had eaten.
The troop welcome noodles actually taste good, and if you don't remember these bad things, anyone can eat them deliciously.
In the end, Chen Ming had no impression of how to finish this bowl of noodles, anyway, he took it all in his mouth.
The veterans and squad leaders actively put away the dishes and chopsticks, and wiped the tables clean in front of the recruits, instructors, and company commanders.
The floor of the canteen is mopped.
Halfway through, I didn't let the recruits intervene, and some people took the initiative to stand up and ask for help, but they were all rejected by those senior soldiers and non-commissioned officers.
This moved them, and they almost burst into tears on the spot to show their respect.
After the dinner, Zhao Lifei led the team to buy daily chemicals.
The supply and marketing cooperatives are the name in the mouth of the squad leader, and the label on the door is "Military Service Society", and the location is on the edge of the main road outside after leaving the recruit company.
It's not close, it's nearly twenty minutes to walk.
Chen Ming didn't have anything to pick when he went in, and when he came, he basically brought laundry detergent, shampoo, and toothpaste.
Take a walk around and buy a few bars of soap to spare, it's a real thing.
In addition to bathing, you can also wash your hair, wash your clothes, and no matter how bad you brush the rice bowl, you can remove the oil.
Prepare more, there is nothing wrong.
When I returned to the dormitory after shopping, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and it was October, and it was dark outside at about eight o'clock
Zhao Lifei casually turned on the light and said, "You guys take a rest first and get to know each other."
"In the future, we will be comrades in a class, and at the beginning of the training, we will be a collective."
"Don't look at the fact that I haven't seen you before, I just looked at the information in advance, and I can remember everyone's name, I hope you can also integrate into the class quickly."
"Okay, I'll come over later, you guys rest first."
Seeing the squad leader leave.
Chen Ming shook his head and put the soap in the locker, this person, either he will be serious all the time, and no one should enter.
Either it's mild and feels like it's easy to get along with.
But their squad leader has a bit of a dual personality, and he was very serious when he came, but now he seems to be very good at talking.
I'm a little unconfident about him.
Several other people also put things in the locker, and a recruit who looked very strong patted his chest and smiled: "Brothers, we will be comrades-in-arms in the future, my name is Dong Ke, haha, the name is a bit feminine, my hometown is good Dongren, who wants to climb Mount Tai in the future, I will arrange, my home is not far from the foot of the mountain, more than seventy kilometers."
"Chen Ming, a native of Pengcheng, should not be far from the barracks, if you go to play on vacation, I may have the opportunity to be your tour guide."
"My name is Wang Shuaibing, and I'm also from Pengcheng, hehe."
"My name is Ma Dazhu, a native of Ji Province, if my brothers have the opportunity to go to my hometown, no matter which city, I will accompany you to provide one-stop service."
"My name is Xu Kai..."
"Zheng Quantong."
"Wei Chongchong."
"Su Pengfei."
"Wen Junchao."
"Zhu Guangzhi."
......
After introducing each other to a group of ten people, Chen Ming was a little surprised, he originally thought that this group of people were all pulled from the Pengcheng Armed Forces Department.
Now it seems that it is not, their group should have been diverted after entering the military region, and the recruits from other places were stuffed here.
It's no wonder that when I was assigned to the class just now, I didn't meet a few familiar faces.
But it's okay to do this, when comrades-in-arms from various provinces get together, it's lively.
Wang Shuaibing belongs to the type of self-cooked, and when he saw that everyone had finished introducing him, he said with emotion on his face: "Hey, it's a pity."
"Our conditions in the barracks are insufficient, if we are outside, we have to get together for a drink, especially Brother Chen Ming, who helped me a lot today."
"Be content, anyway, I feel that our squad leader is quite good." Ma Dazhu also has regrets, but his performance is not so obvious.
"That's it, when I didn't come to be a soldier, I heard that the squad leader here was particularly fierce, so I liked to renovate the recruits, and the routines were endless, and I don't think it's as exaggerated as they say, so our luck is not bad."
Another recruit affirmed the position of the squad leader in his mind.
Chen Ming stood next to him and shook his head as he listened.
These stupid boys are still too young to understand face work.
Just now I showed a little enthusiasm in the cafeteria, and I bought them all.
It's not a good thing to go on like this.
When a storm comes, it is often the unprepared who are the hardest hit.
Chen Ming believes in his own experience, and he also believes in what he has seen and heard.
The squad leader from Hunan Province will definitely not be very kind.
Perhaps their hard days are coming soon.
This should be the calm before the storm.
