Chapter 56 Military Training
"Do you know that there are three unsolved mysteries in student days?" You Ran held the brim of his hat in his hand, shaking it up and down to fan himself, trying to get some coolness.
The pillow took a sip of water and wondered, "What unsolved mystery?"
"First, why do strong and healthy physical education teachers often get sick?"
"Second, why does it rain so often when the school holds events?"
After You Ran finished saying the first two points, she saw Chen Wan and Jiang Yao narrow their eyes and nodded. It was reasonable and well-founded, and it was hard not to agree with them.
After fanning herself vigorously again, she took out her cell phone, checked the temperature, and let out a sad cry.
"Third, why is the weather forecast so wrong during military training?"
She scrolled up and down the weather forecast, pointing to a small dark cloud icon and complaining, "Isn't it cloudy? Why is the sun so scorching? Why do we have to stand at attention?"
After listening to her, Baozhu pinched his earlobe and said weakly, "You still have the strength to yell. I'm really dying. It's so hot and sunny. It would be better to just drag us to the crematorium and do square dancing. It's better than standing here motionless."
When Chen Wan heard their complaints, he couldn't help laughing and raised his hand to cover his forehead to block out some of the sunlight.
Although most people in junior high and high school have participated in military training, the training in college is still more strict.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be so frightening to talk about it.
Standing at attention on the first day stumped most of the students.
At around seven o'clock in the afternoon, after the chief instructor announced the dismissal, the entire playground was as happy as if it were New Year's Day.
You Ran wiped the corners of his eyes, looking at the crowd of people who were overjoyed with satisfaction, and said with deep emotion, "The situation on the day of the founding of the country was just like this. It was really a great joy."
After standing motionless under the scorching sun for five or six hours, the four people in the dormitory leaned on each other and supported each other as they walked to the cafeteria.
Because the weather was hot and it was the first day, everyone's appetite was not very good. They ate something quickly and then went back to the dormitory.
After washing up, I was almost exhausted and just lay on the bed like a lazy fish, without even the thought of speaking.
But after a few minutes, the small group "国色天香脱单ing" started operating.
Are you still where you are in 2020: Sisters, from today on, please call me the little mermaid princess. Every step I take now feels like my feet are walking on the edge of a knife, and the pain is unbearable!
Besides, don’t princesses always meet princes? From my observation, there is not a single princess in our department who is exceptionally pretty!
world pillow: Who isn't? That instructor insisted on saying that the heels should be suspended in the air and that the soles of the feet should be used to push off the ground. It's so painful that I can dig a line through my toes!
Mingmingyue: There are indeed few male students in our Department of Liberal Arts, and I haven’t seen any handsome guys.
By the way, I just bought a health-preserving foot bath package online. I can soak my feet in it when I return to the dormitory after training. I guess it won’t be so uncomfortable.
After this topic was brought up, the focus of the group instantly shifted and they began to discuss the health benefits of foot soaking, and they all gave Mingmingyue the title of "Health Angel".
After chatting for several long sessions, the three finally realized that Chen Wan in the group had not sent any messages.
I pulled aside the bed curtains and found that she was already asleep.
Half of his face was buried in the soft pillow, and he slept soundly.
"Speaking of which, Chen Wan is the one who suffers the most. She was corrected by the instructor the whole time when she was marching today. But she is so cute. She even clasped her hands and feet together, like a little penguin." You Ran recalled the scene during the training during the day.
Because of his tall stature, Chen Wan stood first in the second row and was considered the face of the team.
I made a few small mistakes when marching, which were pointed out by the instructor and I had individual training several times.
Jiang Yao looked at Chen Wan's sleeping face and smiled. "I think she is very quiet, but she has a really good personality. She didn't get angry after being criticized by the instructor, and she even practiced secretly during breaks."
"Speaking of instructors, there's a real gap between novels and real life. The instructors in novels all seem strict but are actually very gentle. Ours is too fierce!" Baozhu said as he opened the Xjiang Novel Reading Website. "I want to read some sweet and refreshing novels to make up for my fragile heart."
The first day of military training passed with the students complaining and exhausted.
The next few days were spent in various ways of praying for rain.
On the third day of military training, we began practicing marching in formation. The high standards and strict requirements of the instructors seemed particularly cruel in the hot weather.
The students complained bitterly, but they could not do anything about it, and they could not rely on anyone, so they could only look to the sky.
During lunch break, when Chen Wan returned to the dormitory, he heard bursts of singing coming from the corridor. When he listened carefully, he found that it was the theme song of a movie.
Time Cooks Rain
After returning to the dormitory, as soon as I opened the door, I heard You Ran pointing at the sunlight coming in through the balcony window and reciting loudly, "Let the storm come even harder! Come on! I'm not afraid!"
Chen Wan blinked, adjusted himself, and carefully avoided her.
I sat down and drank some water to quench my thirst. After a while, I felt the heat in my body finally dissipated a lot.
She casually browsed through WeChat messages. Because she went to bed early at night and was not allowed to bring mobile phones during military training, she could only check messages during lunch break.
During the military training, Lin Yu sent her some messages intermittently, just asking about her campus life and reminding her to take good care of herself.
I also forwarded some health-related articles from public accounts.
He is caring but polite, and still maintains a distance that is neither too close nor too distant.
Chen Wanben was not good at chatting. She felt very happy every time she saw his message, but she didn't know how to describe her feelings.
I edited a lot of questions in the dialog box.
What are you doing
How’s work going lately?
After she came up with these dialogues, she rejected them one by one.
After pondering for a long time, he just replied, "Okay, thank you."
There was no emotion in the conversation between the two. It was neither too intimate nor too distant. The awkwardness was comparable to that of distant relatives.
She sighed and glanced casually to the side.
I saw Jiang Yao holding three pens in his hands, staring at the computer wallpaper with a pious look on his face, muttering to himself.
As if he was praying at mass, he raised his pen up and down from time to time.
Chen Wan was curious, so he moved his chair and silently turned his head to see what she was looking at.
"Handsome and elegant singing god Jam Hsiao, please, please come to Linbei for a concert soon! Old swan, please make it rain! Please, please, if this works, I will be a vegetarian for the rest of my life."
"No, I sincerely pray that my sisters will be vegetarians for the rest of their lives. I am willing to enrich myself and endure the pain alone."
Chen Wan: ...
Where is the sincerity you promised?
In recent years, the famous singer Jam Hsiao has been given the title of "Rain God". Whenever he goes to a city to hold a concert, it will most likely rain in that city.
So he became the screen saver wallpaper for most military training students and was worshipped devoutly.
But feudal superstition is unreliable, so the weather is still scorching hot and the military training is still unbearable.
It was finally time for lunch, and You Ran and Bao Zhen kept clamoring for takeout.
Because one of them doesn't like carrots and the other doesn't like celery, but both of them are on the menu today.
In order to thoroughly implement military management, each student has a fixed menu of two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, and all dishes must be left clean.
After washing their hands, Chen Wan and Jiang Yao planned to go to the cafeteria for lunch. They asked the other two people, but they both said they didn't want to go.
He leisurely leaned against a tree trunk to take a breath, and browsed the food delivery app carefully to see what he wanted to eat.
"I'm really fed up with this fixed menu. They don't even consider the picky eating habits of some students. I want to start my own business. I want crispy chicken and teriyaki pork chops!" Youran complained angrily. "Even if I, Yan Youran, starve to death, get sunburned, or jump off this playground, I won't eat a single carrot from the cafeteria!"
"Yes, forcing us to eat fixed dishes is really an overreaction. However, the school seems to have set strict requirements during military training and does not allow ordering takeout." The pillow reminded her.
"Well, don't worry. I've asked around. I can pick it up at the north gate. The area near the Graduate School isn't strictly controlled. Go for it!" You Ran confidently placed her order. "And I'm telling you, you can eat in this cafeteria anytime. It's different with takeout. What if they go bankrupt because you don't eat there one day? I'm doing a good deed every day. As the saying goes, after all, wild flowers are not as fragrant as domestic ones."
Listening to her bizarre theory, Chen Wan felt both amused and annoyed, and said helplessly, "Then Jiang Yao and I will leave first."
Youran and Baozhen waved at them and enthusiastically discussed what to order for takeout.
After arriving at the cafeteria and getting their food, Chen Wan and Jiang Yao found a seat in the corner to eat.
Both of them have reserved personalities, which is why they get along well. They ate and chatted casually.
After more than ten minutes, Youran and Baozhen frantically sent messages in the group, asking if there was any food left in the cafeteria.
He said that he had just walked to the north gate to pick up takeout when he was intercepted by the school leaders who were waiting there, so he had to eat in the cafeteria, after all, he had training in the afternoon.
A real man cannot starve to death.
Chen Wan went to the food window and saw that the only dishes left were the rather poorly-received stir-fried carrots with meat and three shreds of celery.
Lunch break time was limited, so Youran and the others rushed to the cafeteria to look at the food, sighed with regret for a few minutes, and then ate anyway.
If a person is tired and hungry, he will enjoy eating anything.
The two people who turned up their noses at carrots and celery finally ate them after struggling for a few seconds.
Feeling the aroma of the food, You Ran and Bao Zhen sniffed and gave a thumbs-up with great emotion, "Smells good, really smells good!"
The three-week military training is finally coming to an end. The instructor reminded everyone to pass the last stage, the review ceremony.
The instructor paid special attention to Chen Wan because she marched with her hands and feet in sync, and told her to practice more in private. After all, she was the face of the class standing in the front row, and she should try not to lower the overall level of the class.
After dinner, she took a quick shower and went to the playground for extra practice.
After seven o'clock, the sky is no longer bright white, but a large area of gentle gray-blue, like an upside-down sea.
There are quite a few students walking on the playground at this time, and people are passing by on the track one after another.
Chen Wan chose an inconspicuous corner, hung his coat on the fence, and casually tidied his hair, making himself look much fresher.
"When I say one, lift your left foot, and when I say two, lift your right foot." She repeated to herself, and then practiced marching with full concentration.
After going back and forth several times, my leg muscles became stiff.
Just as she was conscientiously coordinating her movements, she suddenly heard a sentence: "Another mistake."
The voice was clear and melodious, with a faint smile in it.
