Mo Xiaohui's clothes were all soaked on her first day of training in the military camp.
Practicing marching is really a physically demanding activity.
These female soldiers are of different heights, but they are required to march in unison. For example, their legs must be raised at the same height, their toes must be 30 centimeters off the ground, and their arms must be held in front with their fists placed between the second and third buttons.
The most tiring part is kicking.
Just stand in place, stretch your legs and tighten your toes, then raise them to the specified height. You cannot put them down and keep standing until you can no longer stand steadily.
Even if the sweat was dripping down, they couldn't wipe it off. As long as the person giving the command didn't shout "at ease", they couldn't move and had to stand still in the same posture.
Tan Lujin even shouted at them at the top of his lungs, "Don't move! Even if a fly is staring at your face, you can't hit it. Even if a mosquito bites you and bleeds, you can't hit it. You can only let it bite! You can't move a muscle!"
After "nailing" wooden stakes for a whole day and running five laps on the playground, if there were no male soldiers training over there, the female soldiers in the first squad would have wanted to lie down and rest.
When Mo Xiaohui was in school, she had to run 800 meters in the physical education test. She had to be dragged by her desk mate to run, and she barely managed to pass the test.
The five laps that Class 1 was punished to run made her vision go dark and she felt like her arms and legs were not her own.
Shao Liyun dragged her legs and slowly moved beside Mo Xiaohui, muttering, "I'll go back and lie down for a while, then get up to wash my hair and take a shower. The wind just blew and I got all dirty."
He Qingchun followed up: "With just that little spoonful of water, can you really wash your hair and take a bath? It's not even enough for me to wash my face."
Female soldiers are relatively clean. They wash their faces whenever they sweat, dislike the smell of green onions and leeks after meals, and brush their teeth three times.
The little water in the barracks was really only enough for them to wash their faces and brush their teeth.
If you want to wash your clothes, wash your hair, and wipe your body clean, you really have no choice but to go to the river.
Only then did Mo Xiaohui realize that Jiang Jun's proposal was not pretentious, but the truth.
After finally moving back to the dormitory from the playground, Mo Xiaohui was filled with the smell of sweat as soon as she took off her Liberation shoes. She hurriedly opened the door that she had closed casually.
While the female soldiers from Class 1 went running, the female soldiers from Class 2 had already practiced housekeeping in the dormitory again. Now they were sitting on the kang chatting in groups of three or four, looking particularly relaxed and comfortable.
There is no harm without comparison.
After the confrontation at noon, the two classes in the dormitory also showed two clearly separated states. The students in Class One were exhausted, while the students in Class Two were doing their work with their sleeves folded.
Mo Xiaohui drank a large cup of hot water, rested for a while, and went to find Jiang Jun: "Second Squad Leader, come out for a moment, I have something to tell you."
When they reached the foot of the wall, Mo Xiaohui whispered, "Second Squad Leader, let's go find the company commander and ask him to let us female soldiers go to the river to wash clothes."
Jiang Jun was a little surprised: "Just say it like that, without writing an application?"
"Let's go report it first," Mo Xiaohui said with a wry smile. If she didn't speak now while she still had the urge, the moment she picked up the pen, the thought of the company commander and instructor calling her a spoiled brat would make her want to stop writing. "My clothes are soaked with sweat, and only two changes of clothes aren't enough. Whether they're clean or not is another matter. Wearing wet clothes makes it easy to catch a cold."
If I had known this place was so remote, I should have brought a few more vests when I went out.
Jiang Jun narrowed his eyes slightly: "Go and tell it now?"
Mo Xiaohui nodded: "Let's go now!"
The two of them went to the company office together. Guo Heping was the only one there. "The company commander is out. If you have anything to say, tell me. It's the same."
No matter whether he talked to the instructor or the company commander, they would both discuss it together in the end.
Mo Xiaohui stood at attention: "Yes, instructor!"
He reported the female soldiers' ideas to the instructor in a concise and concise manner.
Guo Heping nodded as he listened. After Mo Xiaohui finished speaking, he turned to look at Jiang Jun, who had a frown on his face. "Second Squad Leader, do you have anything else to add?"
When squad leader Mo Xiaohui was reporting, squad leader No. 2 seemed to be standing obediently in the back, but his face had many subtle expressions. Although they were fleeting, they did not escape Guo Heping's sharp eyes.
Jiang Jun became very impatient. They had discussed ten demands by squatting against the wall before, but when Mo Xiaohui came to the office, she only mentioned one and a half of them, which was the same as if she hadn't said anything at all.
Fortunately, God was merciful and the black-faced god Tan Lujin was not there. The smiling uncle instructor actually gave her a chance to speak.
"Report to the instructor," Jiang Jun decided. He had to say whatever needed to be said. "There's no bathhouse in this camp, and we female soldiers can't take cold showers every day like the men. Can you give each of us a bucket? We can find hay, cow dung, or firewood on the grassland to boil water."
Guo Heping understood that female comrades always have some special periods and do need special care: "That's a good suggestion. I will discuss it with the company commander."
Jiang Jun pouted. Nothing good could come of discussing this with the company commander. Her voice was a little frustrated. "Yes! Thank you, instructor!"
Guo Heping couldn't help but want to laugh: "So you two are lucky, I'll tell you a little gossip."
Jiang Jun rolled his eyes. The instructor looked very gossipy.
"The company is planning to expand its reservoir, so we might also build the bathhouse you mentioned!" Guo Heping was not only happy about the building, but also that the builders would be living in their company headquarters for a while. "You go back and think about it. As long as the conditions allow, we'll do whatever we can!"
Jiang Jun was curious: "Is it those male soldiers?"
The pressure of the water tank also needs to be calculated. You can't just pick up two bricks and build a pool. If you are not careful, it will easily leak.
Guo Heping smiled and revealed a little more: "We have a special person to do it, an engineer!"
Jiang Jun was a little excited: "Engineers! That's great, they're all construction experts!"
If engineers come, she can suggest building a biogas tank to heat water in the summer and a kang in the winter!
Guo Heping seemed to see through what she was about to say and quickly delivered the key point: "The engineers are responsible for military fortifications, not ours. Building a house and a pond for our company is just a side job."
The sound of car brakes could be heard from the yard outside, and Guo Heping began to shoo people away: "Alright, you two go back. Remember to make sure you pass the housekeeping test tomorrow morning!"
If he wasn't there to receive the experts, he would have to have a good chat with these two female squad leaders.
Mo Xiaohui and Jiang Jun walked out of the company office and saw four military jeeps parked in the yard. Several people in Zhongshan suits and bottle-bottom glasses got out of the cars, as well as several unfamiliar officers in military uniforms.
