Chapter 8: Can't Talk About the Object

The art troupe canteen and the army canteen are separate and do not eat together. The art troupe canteen is not far from the dormitory and the art troupe building.

Because it was noon, there were quite a lot of people in the cafeteria, but they were all elderly people. Only five people, Lin Shuyin, Sa Ren, Su Xiangwei, Li Jinyue, and Wang Yanlin, were new recruits.

The art troupe recruited five new members this year.

Lin Shuyin and a few others knew the regiment commander who had registered them in the morning, but the others did not. A few of them went over to salute the regiment commander and greet him.

The leader's surname was Huang, he looked to be around 40 years old, very friendly, he said with a smile, "We are just having a meal, no need to be so serious."

"Li Ting, take them around this afternoon to get familiar with the military area." said a female soldier at the next table.

"Got it, Captain."

Lin Shuyin and others breathed a sigh of relief when their superiors were so amiable.

Even though Lin Shuyin was reborn, she was only 24 years old in her previous life. She was admitted to university at the age of 17, and completed four years of undergraduate study and three years of postgraduate study. She just graduated not long ago.

Since her family was rich, she was not in a hurry to find a job. Besides, she had previously created an account on the Internet and earned a lot of money by singing and playing the piano every day.

Then I wore it here.

So she doesn't have much social experience and is still a novice in dealing with people.

"Okay, all of you, go get your food. There's meat today." Captain Huang waved his hand.

There is meat, stewed chicken and potatoes.

Sarin said, "I like to eat chicken stewed with potatoes the most. The chicken soup is especially delicious when poured over rice."

Lin Shuyin smiled, "I like stewed chicken, too."

She also likes to eat beef stewed with black fungus, radish and tomatoes. The soup is particularly appetizing. She also likes stewed mutton. The mutton soup is also very delicious, and it is even more fragrant when some coriander is added on top.

Lin Shuyin asked, "Saren, are you from the village? Or the city?"

Sarin, "You are from the village, what's wrong?"

Lin Shuyin, "Does your team raise sheep?"

Sarin, "Yes, we have cattle and sheep. Why do you want to eat mutton?"

Lin Shuyin chuckled, and Salen understood. She said:

"During the New Year and other festivals, our team will kill sheep and pigs. I will ask for you then."

Lin Shuyin, "Thank you, Sarin."

Sarin waved his hand, "You're welcome."

After dinner was ready, Li Ting came over as soon as they sat down.

"Is your dormitory on the first floor or the second floor?"

"Second floor, second floor, room 203." said Li Jinyue.

Li Ting, "Okay, wait for me in the dormitory this afternoon, and I'll take you around the military area."

Several people nodded like chicks pecking at rice.

Today's lunch was to Lin Shuyin's liking. She didn't leave even a grain of rice. She ate all the soup and made her belly full.

The chicken at this time is delicious and can be stewed into yellow chicken fat. The chicken soup tastes especially fragrant, unlike the chickens raised with feed in later generations.

Lin Shuyin doesn't like to eat the feed chickens raised in later generations. She prefers to eat the free-range chickens raised by farmers.

Lin Shuyin was in a good mood after having eaten and drunk her fill. She was very picky about food in her previous life, but after traveling to this era for half a year, her picky eating habits had completely changed. She couldn't even feel full with corn cakes and was still picky about food.

But not being picky about food is one thing, and eating meat and the food she likes is another. She would be in a bad mood if she only ate potatoes, cabbage, and cornmeal buns every day.

She was in a good mood when she could eat meat and her favorite dishes as much as she wanted.

After lunch, the four of them went back to the dormitory to rest and take a nap.

afternoon.

As soon as Lin Shuyin and the others woke up, Li Ting came over.

"Please get your appearance in order. I will show you around."

"I came here a year earlier than you. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me." Li Ting was also very talkative and enthusiastic.

Lin Shuyin and the others nodded, "Yeah."

Li Ting asked, "Who among you is in the choir?"

Lin Shuyin: "It's my squad leader."

In the army, anyone who joined earlier than me and does not have a clear position can be called squad leader.

Li Ting laughed when she heard this, "Just call me by my name, that's too serious, what's your name? How old are you this year?"

"I'm Lin Shuyin, eighteen."

Li Ting, "Well, I'm two years older than you, and I'm also in the choir."

"By the way, Shuyin, besides singing, are you able to do anything else? For example, can you play other musical instruments?"

Other instruments

She can. She can play the matouqin, piano, guitar and erhu.

She learned to play the piano, erhu, and horse-head fiddle in elementary school, and learned to play the guitar in college.

Her parents were the type who cared a lot about reputation. As the family had a little money, they wanted their child to develop in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor. They enrolled her in countless courses when she was young.

She was also required to learn dance, art, and vocal music well.

The result was that she was not good at anything and finally they divorced. Her grandmother asked her to choose a subject and she chose vocal music. In the end, she lived up to everyone's expectations and was admitted to the best music college in the country.

But this is the Lin Shuyin of the 21st century, not the Lin Shuyin of this era.

She shook her head. “I can’t.”

Li Ting knew this would be the result. Most of the people in their art troupe knew the same thing before joining the troupe, and they learned it after joining the troupe.

She smiled and said, "It's okay. I didn't know how to sing before, but I have to learn after joining the art troupe. I have to learn at least two musical instruments."

"It's not just the choir, the orchestra, the dance troupe as well. In addition to your major, you also need to learn other things."

These words were said to Su Xiangwei, Li Jinyue and Sa Ren.

Saran, "In addition to playing the matouqin, I can also sing."

Su Xiangwei, “I learned a little dance when I was a kid.” But dancing was too tiring, so she learned the violin.

Li Jinyue, "It's over, I can't do anything else except playing the accordion." Her singing is also average, with a hoarse voice, which can't compare with Shuyin's voice at all.

Li Ting: "Anyway, in addition to your major, you have to learn at least two other things."

"The commander will tell you after your recruit training is over."

Several people nodded, "Yeah, got it, squad leader."

Lin Shuyin finally understood. No wonder the actors from the art troupes in the last century were so amazing. It turned out that they learned their skills in the troupe. This is the true all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor!

The winter in Hohhot is very cold, much colder than the winter in Sichuan Province. Several people were caught off guard and took a breath of cold wind as soon as they left the dormitory.

Li Jinyue took a breath and asked, "Is winter in the north always this cold?"

Sarin, "Yes, it's not too cold today, there's sunshine."

"When the weather gets colder than winter, it can freeze your head off. If you stand outside for five minutes, your head will be buzzing."

Several people followed Li Ting like quails, huddled up.

A few people arrived downstairs of the men's dormitory, and Li Ting asked the comrades inside to call Wang Yanlin, who was also a new recruit.

After Wang Yan arrived, Li Ting took them for a stroll in the military area, introducing it to them as they walked.

"By the way, let me tell you that in the military, no matter male or female soldiers, they are not allowed to date, unless they are promoted. Otherwise, if they are caught secretly dating, they will be severely punished."

Except for Lin Shuyin, the others were all confused.

Lin Shuyin knew this rule. How did she know it? She learned about it from watching TV in her previous life.

Lin Shuyin has no partner, Li Jinyue has no partner either, and I don’t know if Wang Yanlin has any, but Su Xiangwei does, and she is in her hometown.

Several people talked about this on the train.

They were not looking at Su Xiangwei stupidly at this moment.

Sarin, on the other hand, was very straightforward. "Sergeant, what about what we discussed before joining the army?"

The squad leader must have meant that we cannot talk to people in the army.

What about those who are talking outside?
