Liu Sanwa still misses his original clothes.
Although his original clothes were dirty enough to prevent snake bites, they were made of decent cloth and were among the best clothes Liu Sanwa could wear in his life.
However, Qin Laosan told him that his clothes, including everyone else's clothes, and even the luggage that some people had tried hard to hide, would be burned, and the reason was still "disinfection."
Liu Sanwa wanted to protest, saying that even though the fine fabric was torn, it could still be used after washing, perhaps making it into children's clothes. However, Qin Laosan dispelled the idea: "Look at that fire over there; your clothes are inside. But it doesn't matter. The camp manager said they'll give us new clothes when we leave."
"When you left?"
"Yeah, you can't just sit here and eat other people's rice balls for free for the rest of your life. We can stay here for a maximum of fourteen days. I've already been here for twelve days. There are also people in our dormitory who have stayed for ten days and seven days. The most recent one was five days, and now it's you. After you stay for fourteen days, you will be assigned a job based on your skills and wishes. That is to help the county magistrate of Qinghe County. I will leave the day after tomorrow, and after I leave, the one who has been here for ten days will be the new dormitory head, and so on." Qin Laosan looked at Liu Sanwa who was still in a daze and smiled, "Don't be in a daze. We have to go to drill tomorrow morning. We have to go back to sleep."
"What is drill? Don't worry about it. Just follow me for a day and you'll understand everything."
Liu Sanwa followed Qin Laosan back to the dormitory in a daze and fell into a deep sleep on the assigned bunk. Well, there was straw underneath, so soft; there was a quilt on top, so warm; there was food in his stomach, so...
The next day, Liu Sanwa, who was sleeping soundly, vaguely heard a strange sound. It sounded like it was made by some musical instrument, but it did not sound pleasant at all.
"Who on earth is so unethical as to disturb my sweet dreams so early in the morning..." A thought drifted through Liu Sanwa's mind, then vanished. Liu Sanwa, who hadn't slept soundly for a long time, fell into a deep sleep again. Well, in less than ten seconds...
Qin Laosan pulled back Liu Sanwa's blanket. The open door let in a cool breeze, which sobered Liu Sanwa up. Liu Sanwa remembered that he used to be a bad person when he woke up, but this habit was very unfriendly when fleeing. Many people who couldn't change it failed to reach the end for various reasons. So, in order to survive, Liu Sanwa changed many bad habits, one of which was his bad temper when he woke up.
But it didn't matter whether he was in a bad mood or not. Qin Laosan dispelled all his thoughts with just one sentence: "Hurry up, get up, do some exercises, and then you can have breakfast. Those who are late will not get any food."
Breakfast, this long-lost word stimulated Liu Sanwa. He tried a failed somersault to sit up, and then was pulled forward by Qin Laosan.
Several square formations have been formed on the playground in the middle of the refugee camp. Thanks to the fact that the new refugees have become "transfer students", the overall order seems to be good under the leadership of the "old students".
The director of the refugee camp is Lin Hai's sworn brother. As he was injured, he could have stayed in Qinghe to enjoy himself, but he couldn't sit still and insisted that Lin Hai give him a job. In his words, he could do a job and get a salary, so that he would not feel guilty.
Now Big Brother Bu Guixin was standing on the platform in front of the playground, looking at everyone motionlessly.
Liu Sanwa could understand that the person standing on the stage watching over everyone was at least a steward, perhaps even the head steward. But he couldn't understand why the head steward had to gather everyone so early in the morning and arrange them in a square formation. Even if he had something to say, couldn't he just speak directly to the dormitory heads? Was it just to give them a warning? He had seen stewards of wealthy families give all kinds of warnings, but this was a new experience for him to wake everyone up at the crack of dawn to stand guard.
After a while, Liu Sanwa heard what the people in the front row were saying, and then he noticed Qin Laosan saying something to someone else. The message kept coming back one by one, and soon someone ran down the stage and spoke to the steward. Liu Sanwa vaguely heard something like, "Morning training at the Zhaoyang refugee camp. ... people are supposed to be there, ... people are actually there. Please give instructions..."
The steward suddenly waved his only arm, and the people at the edge of the small formation began to run. Liu Sanwa noticed that Qin Laosan had moved from the front of the team to the side and shouted to everyone, "Everyone, run!"
Although he found the words strange, Liu Sanwa understood the meaning. He quickly imitated Qin Laosan's movements and started running. He didn't run fast, nor did he cover a great distance. After leaving the playground, he simply ran three laps around the refugee camp. But for Liu Sanwa, whose physical foundation was already shattered, this was still extremely difficult. He even felt a little disappointed. The two rice balls he had eaten last night clearly wouldn't be enough to sustain him through the run.
Only the word "breakfast" kept him going. He hoped the breakfast here would be good.
Liu Sanwa found that everything here required queuing.
Even breakfast required queuing. Suppressing his restlessness, his group finally reached the cafeteria entrance. Holding the newly issued wooden bowls and chopsticks, Liu Sanwa began to shout like the others:
"Every grain of rice and every porridge is hard-earned and should not be wasted."
"Everything goes smoothly if you follow the rules."
"Being a Qinghe County resident means having enough food to eat, wearing warm clothes, and being hardworking will bring you wealth."
"Qinghe's kindness is higher than the sky, and the county magistrate's kindness is deeper than the sea..."
