Tan Lujin was so angry that his face turned pale.
Guo Heping suppressed his laughter and coughed. "I have something to discuss with the company commander. You all should leave." He waved his hand and asked Mo Xiaohui and Hu Dali to follow Mu Ke to the infirmary to check the medicine. "Colds are highly contagious. We can't let any more soldiers fall ill!"
Tan Lujin slammed his hands on the table. "Tell me, tell me, even male soldiers aren't such assholes! This second squad leader is so bold!"
This is simply lip service and a blatant act of rebellion!
If those male soldiers knew about this, how could he save his dignity?
Guo Heping wasn't afraid of angering Tan Lujin to death, and nodded in appreciation: "You're quite good at thinking of solutions. I think the second squad leader is quite smart!"
Tan Lujin's forehead was bulging with anger. "This is liberalism! Individualism! It's a black sheep!"
He slammed the table and put the big hat on others.
No matter how much you deduct, it will not be enough to quell the indignation in your heart!
Guo Heping thought for a moment and then stated the facts: "Captain Tan, the second squad leader hasn't made any principled mistakes. Her personal skills are still among the best, and she still has some appeal. If we try to make her an example, we won't be able to catch her!"
Tan Lujin was so angry that he was gasping for breath. "How could she not? Her capitalist behavior is so strong! Just for this reason, she is not a qualified soldier!"
Guo Heping shook his head. "As a new soldier, a bit of individualism is understandable. After all, she doesn't come from a poor or lower-middle peasant background! As for your capitalist behavior, that's a bit exaggerated. You think she's too right-wing, but you can't be too left-wing. We're here to resolve conflicts between soldiers, not to create conflicts between superiors and subordinates."
If Guo Heping followed his opinion, he personally thought Jiang Yun was more suitable for the promotion to platoon leader. "According to her resume, the second squad leader is younger than the first squad leader and has lower academic qualifications. But look at her, among these female soldiers, and even among these new recruits, she's considered to be a patient person. I think if she were a male soldier, she would have a bright future."
Tan Lujin resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "She has a future? I think there's something wrong with your eyes. You should get a pair of glasses."
Guo Heping smiled and said, "Okay! When Engineer Zhang and the others come again, I'll ask Engineer Zhang for a pair of glasses."
The experts who visited the military base had some requirements for the female soldiers who were on duty. They specially prepared some learning materials for these female soldiers to study, saying that positions would be assigned according to the assessment results.
From his observation, the way Jiang Jun commanded the female soldiers of Class 2 to study political and military discipline materials showed that she was a person who was good at learning knowledge, and had no problem learning these learning materials with some scientific and technological content.
Perhaps, Engineer Zhang also noticed it, otherwise why would he specifically ask the second squad leader's name?
It seems that Jiang Yun still has hope of being assigned to a military base.
Tan Lujin had thought of this as well, rolling his eyes in disdain. "If someone like that were to go on duty at the military base, he'd corrupt the minds of those experts as well. No, the experts will be back the day after tomorrow. You should make arrangements. The day after tomorrow, you and Hu Dali will take them on a 20-kilometer run in the wild to prevent her from embarrassing herself in front of the experts."
Guo Heping shook his head and couldn't respond.
It is particularly difficult to talk to someone who has deep prejudices.
Fortunately, Captain Tan is a person with a strong sense of responsibility in technical training.
After a fit of rage, Tan Lujin calmed down a little and snatched the cigarette lit by Guo Heping and took two deep puffs.
Guo Heping was heartbroken: "No, the supply truck from the division headquarters hasn't arrived yet, and I'm out of cigarettes. Put it out for me!"
Tan Lujin put his hand back and said, "Go, go, go and arrange for someone to fetch some water. I'll ask someone to cover the activity room with materials. It looks like it's going to rain."
Guo Heping patted Tan Lujin on the shoulder: "You are just hard on the outside but soft on the inside!"
The camp has built a new large water reservoir, two new bathhouses, and the framework of an activity room. The barracks wall is also half built and will be completed in a few days once the materials are delivered.
All this is thanks to the engineers.
Indirectly speaking, it is also the credit of the female soldiers.
Without female soldiers, these infrastructure reports will have to be postponed.
The beauty-loving female soldiers finally ended the problem of having to fetch a basin of water to wash in the dormitory. Washing became their most favorite extracurricular activity.
Without shampoo, many female soldiers would rub soap in their palms to make bubbles, apply the bubbles to their hair, and then wash it off with water. After the hair dried, it would feel rough, and when combing the hair, it would often cause pain on the scalp.
Jiang Yun has a delicate scalp and is most afraid of pain, so she doesn't dare to use anything with strong alkaline ingredients to wash her hair.
Although there is a water reservoir, the company still emphasizes the need to conserve water.
The company commander repeatedly emphasized, "We have a very happy life. We not only have water to drink, but we also have water to bathe in. Those herders can hardly bathe once a year!"
The female soldiers basically use the first basin of water to wash their hair, the second basin of water to wash their hair and then take a shower. They can only use half of the third basin of water to wash their bodies, leaving half a basin of water for washing clothes.
Absolutely environmentally friendly water use!
Jiang Jun secretly muttered to He Xiangdong, "The herders don't need training, and they don't sweat as much in a year as we do in half a day!"
When they are training, they can sweat several times a day, and their uniforms are covered with sweat marks!
During the days of building the house, the camp was dusty and made the female soldiers very dirty.
Jiang Yun was still thinking about going to the river to fetch water.
Even after the engineers had left, the company commander still hadn't agreed to let the female soldiers go to the river.
Jiang Jun scrubbed the white streaks off his shirt diligently while chatting with He Xiangdong: "During the emergency meeting last night, I seemed to see the shadow of a wolf."
He Xiangdong was terrified: "Where is it? Why didn't I see it? Don't scare me!"
In the 1970s, wild animals still lived in peace on the prairie, and hunting had not yet become the end of the food chain.
In winter, prairie wolves often come out in groups to prey on livestock raised by herders.
Jiang Jun had only seen prairie wolves in zoos and in information. As for the animal howls she heard during the night gathering, she heard them following the sound of the wind, probably dozens of kilometers away, and she couldn't be 100% sure it was the same animal.
"I ran twice last night and I'm exhausted. Maybe I heard it wrong."
He Xiangdong pouted: "I better not have heard it wrong! Or I'll really be sick!"
They didn't know when the company commander would blow the whistle, so they all took naps with their backpacks as pillows and their cotton-padded jackets as blankets, which made it very easy for them to catch a cold.
To be on the safe side, they all went to the good-tempered and easy-going Mu Ke to ask for some anti-inflammatory drugs.
Jiang Yun wrung out the water from his clothes. "Then go get the medics and get some fever-reducing medicine. I'll also get some tape and some bandages."
The medical tapes at that time were all as big as A3 paper, not as convenient as the small rolls we have now.
Jiang Yun was not used to wearing Liberation shoes. Her soles hurt, and her toes hurt even more. Every night after washing her feet, she would wrap a circle of gauze and then a circle of tape around her big toe to loosen up her toe bones, otherwise it would hurt to put on shoes in the morning.
