Chapter 8 I guarantee you will be able to walk sideways in the Sixth Company!
There is actually nothing important about the company assembly. It is just to let the company cadres come up and show themselves so that the new recruits can get to know them.
From the company commander to the three platoon leaders and the quartermaster, after each of them said a few words of welcome, the instructor Jiang Da promoted the glorious history of the Sixth Company. Afterwards, the clerk and the communicator came over with their cameras and mobile phones to take pictures and videos.
What surprised Xu Ge was that Luo Shan, the third platoon leader, was promoted from second lieutenant to first lieutenant, and also served as deputy company commander.
It was already past four in the afternoon when the welcome ceremony ended. Liu Guoping then asked the veterans from each class to take the new recruits on a tour of the camp.
The old company’s camp was not big, just a yard with a training ground and basketball court in the middle. Opposite the gate was the canteen, and next to it were the equipment yard and clothes drying room.
The dormitory building is simpler, with most of the rooms on the first to third floors being dormitories, and the fourth floor being the honor room, study room, and entertainment room.
"Let me tell you, do you know how many people wanted to come to Class Nine but couldn't?" Niu Sanxian said as he climbed the stairs. "You three are really lucky!"
Li Dongshui asked curiously, "Class monitor, why do so many people want to come to Class 9?"
Niu San didn't answer first, but stopped and asked, "Do you know what the first thing you need to learn when you come to Class 9?"
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui both shook their heads.
"Kaiyoumu, you go tell them both!"
"The first thing is to learn how to pronounce the name of our old class vice-chairman!" Kai Youmu whispered.
"Whenever I get bullied or caught by patrol officers, I'll immediately shout out my former squad leader, Guo Yuanshuai. In most cases, I can escape."
"Kai Youmu, your expression is too arrogant. You should be more low-key!" Niu Sanxian corrected him, "We can't make enemies for our old class deputy outside, right?"
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui: ???
The three of them followed Niu San up to the fourth floor and took a quick look around, mainly to see the Hall of Honor.
The place is filled with various awards and trophies, and there are various photos on the walls.
Some new recruits exclaimed in surprise when they saw the veterans from their class in the photos, and the veterans also complacently enjoyed the praise and admiration of the new recruits.
Niu Sanxian didn't seem to be interested in this and just leaned against the corridor window looking down.
The sound of basketballs hitting each other can be heard on the playground.
"Nine out of one! Nine out of one! Is anyone else coming?" Some old soldier shouted from below, "Father and son bureau!"
"I, I, I! Wait, I'll change my clothes and come down now!"
Niu San shouted to the crowd below, then said to the Hall of Honor, "You three can watch it yourselves. When you're done, come find me on the playground!"
At this time, another squad leader cursed: "Niu Sanxian, aren't you a sick person? How dare you go play basketball? Watch out, the instructor will fuck you!"
"I was a patient last week, and this week I was unlucky enough to become the class monitor. What's wrong with playing ball?" After saying that, he ran away without looking back.
Kai Youmu was introducing the names of the people in the photos on the wall with Xu Ge and Li Dongshui when someone came and called him away, saying that the deputy company commander was looking for him.
After Kai Youmu left, Xu Ge and Li Dongshui wandered around there by themselves.
Since I am in the Sixth Company, I must learn more about its history.
"Xu Ge, look!"
Li Dongshui suddenly pointed at the wall and said, "Niu Sanxian was a brave warrior in our regiment last year!"
Xu Ge looked over and saw Niu Sanxian's photo in the Warriors' roster over the years.
"Let's see if there are any other people on the list."
The two looked at the list of warriors from previous years and soon found the names of Liu Senlin and Wang Lin.
"Damn, Kai Youmu is right, the veterans in our class are so awesome!" Li Dongshui was surprised.
"That's right, they're all tough guys. The toughest one is our old squad leader. He was number one in the brigade for seven consecutive years. I can't even imagine how awesome he must have been back then!"
Xu Ge nodded and continued to look around.
"I didn't see Su Liujun's name, but that's normal. It's impossible for all the people in a class to be... Holy shit! Warriors?!"
There were only a few people on the list of warriors, and Xu Ge saw Su Liujun's photo at a glance. He was the winner of the warrior title in the brigade two years ago.
"What are you two doing making so much noise over there?" Kaiyoumu's voice came from behind. "Are you done watching? If you're done, go downstairs and stretch your legs. Dinner will be served soon."
"I've finished reading it... What the hell?" Xu Ge turned around and was stunned when he saw Kai Youmu.
The limp on this guy's shoulder was actually replaced by a brand new first-class non-commissioned officer rank!
Li Dongshui was stunned: "Deputy, what's going on?"
"Don't call me the class vice-chairman. We will only have one class vice-chairman in Class 9 from now on."
Kaiyoumu winked at the two of them and said, "I'm a second-time enlistee. What's the big deal about being promoted directly to the rank of corporal in the company?"
Xu Ge immediately felt uneasy: "So, out of the eight people in our class, except for the two of us, everyone else is a non-commissioned officer?"
. . .
. . .
On the playground, a fierce basketball game is going on, with shouts coming one after another.
Dozens of new recruits were watching around, cheering for the veterans in their class from time to time.
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui saw Zhou Meng shouting the loudest and were about to go over to say hello when whoosh! The basketball flew out of bounds and headed straight towards them.
Bang!
Li Dongshui subconsciously reached out to catch it and looked inside the field.
Niu Huanxi stood under the basket and waved, "Li Dongshui, throw the ball over here!"
Perhaps because his hands were itching to do it, Li Dongshui held the ball above his head with both hands and threw it with all his might.
brush!
The basketball drew a big arc and went into the net!
The entire playground was quiet for a moment, and then became noisy.
“Wow!”
Niu Sanxian was also stunned for a moment, picked up the ball from under the basket, raised his hand and threw it back, shouting: "Come on, try throwing it again?"
Bang!
Li Dongshui caught it with both hands, thought for a moment, and passed the ball to Xu Ge: "Xu Ge, you come on, you're strong. I think I sprained my arm just now."
Xu Ge took it and threw the ball over with one hand under everyone's gaze.
This distance is equivalent to outside the midfield, but with his current physical level, it is effortless for him to throw it with one hand.
Boom!
brush!
The basketball hit the backboard heavily and bounced accurately into the net.
“What the hell!!!”
The whole playground was in an uproar.
The veterans all asked which class the two new recruits were from and what their names were.
“Wahahahaha!”
Niu Sanxian held the basketball and laughed loudly, then pointed his finger at the surroundings, "It's really like thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Listen to me, you bastards!"
"On behalf of Class 9, I declare that from now on, Class 9 must participate in the weekly basketball games! Hahahaha!"
Some veterans looked grim.
Damn, Team Nine is so lucky! How come they got two such perverted new recruits?
At this time, Zhou Meng also saw Xu Ge and Li Dongshui and ran over to greet them: "Are you two assigned to Class 9?"
"Well, which class are you in?" Li Dongshui asked.
Zhou Meng: "Hey, Zhang Haoyu and I are both in Class 1. I heard from our monitor that you guys in Class 9 are all..."
"Xu Ge!" someone shouted from behind.
Xu Ge turned around and saw Wang Lin coming over.
When Zhou Meng saw the sergeant coming, he stood at attention and shouted, "Hello, squad leader!"
Wang Lin frowned. "What are you yelling about? You're the squad leader. Your whole family is a squad leader!"
Zhou Meng was stunned and stood there at a loss as to what to do after being scolded.
As a new recruit who had just joined the company, he naturally did not understand the special nature of the position of squad leader of the ninth squad.
Seeing that Wang Lin's reaction to the word "squad leader" was even greater than Su Liujun's, Xu Ge couldn't help but want to laugh and asked, "What do you want from me?"
"Come on, let's talk over there."
Wang Lin called Xu Ge aside and whispered, "Is it true that your girlfriend is a major in our military hospital?"
Xu Ge held his forehead with his hand: "Sergeant... Sergeant Wang Lin, Doctor Lin is really not my girlfriend!"
"Are you still pretending? The platoon leader told you that they even arranged for someone to bring you some fruit at lunch at the Sanshili Barracks today."
Wang Lin hugged Xu Ge and said, "What's wrong with admitting it openly? Don't worry, no one will compete with you for it!"
"Really not, she is my doctor, she just treats me..."
"Just tell me if the spark between you two friends has died out?" Wang Lin interrupted Xu Ge.
Xu Ge was stunned: "That's not the case."
"Isn't that the end?"
Wang Lin immediately changed his address, "Dad Xu, can you help me get a hospital admission form?"
Xu Ge was puzzled: "What hospitalization order?"
Wang Lin: "It's the hospitalization order. You know, I'm a patient. Isn't it normal to be hospitalized in the military hospital?"
Xu Ge looked him up and down for a while, the corner of his mouth twitching: "But you really don't look sick."
"Why would I lie to you? I have a second-grade anterior talofibular ligament tear in my left leg. When I retire, I'll be assessed a minimum of a tenth-grade disability!"
"Is this true?"
"I lied to you, you're my real dad!"
Wang Lin said seriously, "I got injured during climbing training. I went to the hospital for surgery and am now recuperating."
Xu Ge: "Then why don't you just rest?"
"I think the food in our company is not good enough, the nutrition is not enough..."
Bang!
Before Wang Lin could finish his words, he was slapped on the head.
"I was wondering why you came down so early today. Are you trying to trick Xu Ge into giving you a backdoor behind my back?"
Guo Yuanshuai came over at some point, followed by Su Liujun and Liu Senlin, both of whom had expressions of gloating on their faces.
Wang Lin shrank his neck and dared not say a word.
"It's the new recruit's first day at the company, and instead of showing any concern or care for him, you're asking him to find his girlfriend to help you. Aren't you deliberately trying to cause him to break up?"
Guo Yuanshuai became more and more angry as he spoke, and he was about to move forward and start fighting again.
"Who in our class isn't sick? My waist hurts so much that I can't sleep all night."
"You idiot! Medical resources are so tight these days. Even getting a checkup requires a one- or two-week queue. I haven't even gotten one yet, and you still want to get admitted?"
When Guo Yuanshuai wanted to fight, Wang Lin dodged, and the two of them circled around Xu Ge.
Xu Ge reached out to stop Guo Yuanshuai and said, "Deputy Ban, calm down. Wang Lin is indeed injured."
"Get out of the way. Who doesn't have any injuries? Liu Senlin just broke his leg not long ago, and Su Liujun still hasn't had surgery for his varicocele. And he's thinking of being hospitalized after spraining his ankle?"
"Deputy squad leader, how about I ask Doctor Lin if the space at the military hospital is tight right now?" Xu Ge said quickly.
brush!
Guo Yuanshuai and Wang Lin stopped at the same time.
"Xu Ge, will this affect your relationship?" Guo Yuanshuai looked concerned.
Xu Ge: ???
He suddenly felt like he was being tricked.
But since the words have been said, he doesn't really care.
"Deputy, Doctor Lin and I are just ordinary friends. It shouldn't be a big deal to ask."
Liu Senlin and Su Liujun rushed over, each holding Xu Ge's arm. "Dad Xu, come on, let's take you for a walk around the playground."
Xu Ge was stunned: "Why are you spinning in circles?"
"You'll know later. I guarantee you'll be able to walk around like a fool after you leave the Sixth Company!" Su Liujun blinked.
So, during the period before dinner, a strange scene occurred.
A new recruit who had just joined the company was surrounded by four or five corporals and sergeants and was walking in circles on the playground. The old squad leader Guo Yuanshuai followed behind with his hands behind his back.
Even Niu Sanxian, who was on the basketball court, ran over to join the team and whispered in Xu Ge's ear, "Dad Xu, can you help me ask the military hospital how long it will take for me to get out of bed and move around freely after a circumcision?"
Xu Ge: ...
"Squad leader, I really don't want to ask about this!"
"Dad Xu, you're still young. You don't know that this kind of topic can actually promote the relationship between two people! Don't worry about asking..."
Bang!
Guo Yuanshuai slapped Niu Sanxian on the head: "Get lost! Go play your ball!"
Xu Ge gradually got to the point of understanding and discovered that wherever he went, all the veterans looked at him with admiration.
Several squad leaders even began to whisper to the new recruits in their squads:
"What's the name of that new recruit from Class 9? Xu Ge, right? Don't mess with him anymore!"
