Chapter 22 Oh, you invited everyone.
Chen Mo was indeed quite observant and knew that the squad leader was angry because the military uniforms were scattered everywhere.
He immediately went to the metal cabinet, took out his military uniforms one by one and folded them, trying to divert Lao Pao's attention away from himself.
But Chen Mo overlooked one point. The entire Class 8 was made up of new recruits. Even though they knew they were being trained, they had no idea what they were busy with.
As anxious as a headless fly.
I'm not busy at all.
He was the only one who did the work in an orderly manner, so naturally he was noticed by Zhou Yongjie at the first moment.
Watching Chen Mo take out the luggage from the metal cabinet and squat on the ground to carefully fold his military uniform.
Lao Pao stared at it for a while, then bent down, pulled over a wooden bench next to him, sat on it, and said, "Chen Mo."
"arrive!"
"Open your bags, including everyone else's. Bring all your bags here and open them."
"In addition to your underwear, you can also leave the items issued by the armed forces in your bag. Any other valuables that need to be stored separately should be taken out and registered in advance. Chen Mo, you are responsible for checking them."
"yes."
I knew that the veterans in the army were all lazy, but I didn't expect them to be this lazy.
Chen Mo stood up, picked up his luggage, put it in front of Zhou Yongjie, and opened the bag.
Before he could get up, several other recruits in the dormitory followed Chen Mo's example and quickly brought all the bags over.
In the late 1990s, many families were not well-off, and electronic products were not yet popular. Even if there were mobile phones, ordinary people could not afford them.
So Chen Mo didn't think there was any need to check the bag.
As for smoking, if young people of this era dare to touch that thing before they reach the age, they will really be corrected by their serious fathers with a whip.
Not many people are brave enough to try it. Most of them smoke secretly, but they are not addicted.
What's more, I can't get the money to buy it.
Anyway, there was nothing too "amazing" in Chen Mo's bag, except for a pair of briefs with two holes on his buttocks, which he quickly grasped in his hands and brushed away.
Leftover snacks and leftover pancakes are all normal things.
When it's the second bag's turn.
Since the mouth was not open, Chen Mo just pulled it open.
But when he glanced at the things in the bag, he was stunned for a moment.
Lao Pao's eyes were so vicious. He noticed that Chen Mo's expression was not right and thought that there was some contraband in the bag. He immediately stood up, grabbed the bag and put it at his feet.
But even a veteran like Zhou Yongjie was dumbfounded when he saw the things in the bag.
He grabbed a handful of yellow and black stuff that looked like talisman paper and looked up at the new recruit standing beside him.
"Whose?"
Lao Pao frowned, and seemed to be on the verge of getting angry.
In the crowd, Yang Dali, who had been walking relatively close to Chen Mo, took a few steps forward hesitantly and whispered, "Mine."
"I'll repeat it again." Zhou Yongjie's eyes widened. "In the army, if you answer questions from your squad leader, other veterans, and even officers, you have to file a report."
"Whose?"
"Report, it's mine." Yang Dali's voice was trembling a little at this time.
"Then tell me, what is this used for?"
"I..."
"Report, this is the blessed amulet. My family specially asked for it for me before I joined the army."
Yang Dali clenched his fingers on the edge of his pants, feeling extremely awkward.
Other recruits, including Chen Mo, were also staring at the talismans. There were many kinds of amulets, and they were sold in the streets and markets.
But it's quite rare to see something so mysterious.
Lao Pao was obviously not the kind of person who would hold on to a problem. After he recovered from the previous impulse, he glared at Yang Dali again.
He fiddled with a few pieces of talisman paper and said, "This is more than just a talisman. What is a grown man like you doing with a marital harmony talisman?"
"There's also a talisman for a happy life, a talisman for eliminating all disasters, a talisman for partial wealth, and even a talisman for bringing wealth to the five ghosts, a talisman for protecting the body, a talisman for changing luck, and a talisman for warding off evil spirits. You've got it all, right?"
"Chen Mo."
"arrive."
"Check what else is in Yang Dali's bag."
"yes."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo bent down and opened his bag. Soon, he took out a book called "Qigong Encyclopedia" from the bag.
Now, don’t say that Chen Mo is speechless.
Even Lao Pao, who had just recovered, stared with his eyes wide open and did not move for a long time.
Fortunately, Chen Mo reacted quickly. In order to avoid angering Lao Paozi and causing harm to innocent people, he quickly checked the remaining five bags.
Fortunately, Yang Dali's situation did not occur again.
Zhou Yongjie also saw that the packages of the new recruits behind him were normal, so he suppressed his anger and said coldly: "I tell you."
"If you join the army, you should behave like a soldier. It's better to be strict with yourself than to pray to gods or Buddhas."
"As long as you obey the army's rules and regulations, listen to me during training, think more about how to improve your performance in regular training, rush to do the work when you see it, and carry the red flag when you see it, you will be an excellent soldier in the army."
"It's much more useful than the things you guys are tinkering with." Zhou Yongjie raised the talisman paper in his hand.
He snatched the Qigong book from Chen Mo's hand, then continued: "I'll go downstairs."
"Before you come back, if you find anyone's clothes still here, the dormitory floor hasn't been swept, or there's rust on the cabinets, then you can save dinner tonight."
After a few symbolic threats, Lao Pao turned around and left with the things he had found.
Wait until the footsteps in the corridor disappear.
Yang Dali plopped down on the hard bed behind him and said with a worried look on his face, "Did I get into trouble?"
Listening to the question, Chen Mo spat secretly, thinking that it was a good thing that the times were different. If he were a soldier in the future, he would have to bring so many things with him.
I'm afraid that a promotion ceremony will be organized in the dormitory on the spot.
I have to use my fists to correct your thoughts.
Seeing the other people also had sad expressions, Chen Mo shrugged and said with a smile: "Old Yang, I don't know if you are in trouble."
"But if we don't hurry up and fold the clothes, clean up the house, and wait for the monitor to come back, I think we'll be even more miserable."
Maybe Chen Mo's words worked, or maybe Zhou Yongjie, as a veteran, really had something that scared the new recruits.
In short.
As soon as he finished speaking, the few people who were originally standing together stupidly soon imitated Chen Mo's movements in folding military uniforms and found an empty cabinet to put their uniforms in.
Yang Dali hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and joined the busy crowd.
Chen Mo had brought mops and brooms to the dormitory beforehand, and everyone cleaned up on their own initiative without any instructions or arrangements.
This is not surprising. As the saying goes, children from poor families grow up early. Many children from rural families are proficient in everything, not to mention labor, at home when they are in their teens.
At least if you can sweep the floor and wipe the table, you will have quite a lot of experience.
About half an hour passed.
Zhou Yongjie returned to the dormitory slowly, and the talisman paper and qigong book in his hand were gone.
I pushed open the door and saw a group of new recruits in the room, each doing their job in an efficient manner.
Squad Leader Zhou then nodded and walked around the dormitory with his hands behind his back.
"Well done."
"Chen Mo, it's your turn to be on duty today. Go downstairs and ask the quartermaster for some basins, soap, shampoo, and some hardwood chips."
"Just say I told you to go. Go downstairs and pick up the one with the longest line."
"Go ahead."
"yes!"
Chen Mo nodded in response. He had originally hoped that the squad leader would assign him two more people.
After waiting for a while and hearing nothing, he had no choice but to go downstairs by himself.
There's nothing we can do. Other classes have two veterans in charge, and some even have three veterans in charge.
There is only one person in their Class 8, so they just need someone with a little bit of eyesight to command him.
