The first day of training started with tidying up the room.
These girls are basically children of soldiers. They all have the habit of getting up as soon as they hear the reveille, and they also make their beds neatly.
Tan Lujin entered the female soldiers' dormitory, followed closely by platoon leader Hu Dali, holding a packed backpack.
All the girls stood at attention in front of their beds nervously.
Tan Lujin walked up to Jiang Yun and stopped, pointing at the bed and asked, "What's wrong with your quilt?"
It looks bulgy and is one size larger than other people's quilts.
Jiang Jun whispered, "I..."
Tan Lujin scolded: "Louder!"
Jiang Jun shouted, "Report, I folded it three times."
She doesn't even fold the quilt at home, she just rolls it up. She has tried her best to fold it like this, okay?
Tan Lujin said expressionlessly, "Platoon leader, demonstrate!"
Hu Dali opened the backpack in his hand, shook out the quilt and spread it on Jiang Yun's bed. In a blink of an eye, he folded the quilt into a square tofu block in less than ten seconds.
Jiang Jun: "Report, the platoon leader's quilt is an old one, and it already has creases. It must be very square when folded."
They just received a new quilt yesterday. The cotton was all new and soft and comfortable. The tofu-block quilt looked like it had old cotton that had been used for several years and felt ice-cold.
Just like what Old Man Du said, a cloth quilt becomes as cold as iron after years of use.
Tan Lujin: "Platoon leader, use her quilt to demonstrate."
Hu Dali reached out to grab Jiang Yun's quilt, and when he shook his hands, a towel fell out of the quilt and landed on the ground.
This was Jiang Yun's homemade bath towel. Since she didn't have the large bath towels she was used to, she compromised by sewing four face towels together to create a large bath towel.
Hu Dali quickly picked up the towel.
Tan Lujin glared: "Sew them together, you're so shameless!"
Puff, puff, puff...
There was a soft laugh from a female soldier.
Tan Lujin shouted, "Be serious!"
Hu Dali shook out Jiang Yun's quilt and spread it out, and also folded it in less than ten seconds. He had big hands, thick bones, and calluses on his palms. With just a press and a rub of his two hands, a tofu block came out.
Jiang Jun pouted and didn't dare to speak.
She found that whenever she spoke back, the company commander would become even stricter.
If she continued to make excuses, the company commander would probably punish her.
Here are the other details.
For example, towels should be hung in the same position, and the horizontal line should be consistent with the horizontal line of the entire dormitory. The toothbrush should be placed in a fixed position on the bedside table, and the toothpaste and toothbrush should be facing the same designated direction.
If you can’t do one thing, run three laps on the playground. If you can’t do two things, run six laps on the playground, and so on.
Tan Lujin: "Platoon leader, watch over us. Everything must be done before this afternoon!"
Hu Dali: “Yes!”
In the military, when a subordinate speaks to a superior, they must first say "report" before continuing with what they want to say. When a superior gives an order to a subordinate, the subordinate can only respond with "yes."
Tan Lujin turned around and went out. He still had to check the new training of the male soldiers.
As soon as the company commander left, the female soldiers began to fold tofu cubes in a hurry.
Girls like soft and beautiful things, and like streamlined shapes. They can fold quilts neatly, but they just can't make the lines straight.
All sorts of powerful moves suddenly appeared in the dormitory.
Some used their two palms to squeeze there, some used their fingernails to carefully pinch out a line, and some lay on the quilt and bit it with their teeth, wishing they could bite a obedient crease in the quilt.
Others simply went to Hu Dali for help: "Platoon leader, please teach me again!"
Hu Dali is from Henan Province. Although he looks strong and powerful, he is actually a soft-hearted person. As soon as the female soldiers opened their mouths, he immediately demonstrated his skills without getting tired.
But once he finished demonstrating, he immediately took apart the tofu blocks he had folded, and no matter how the female soldiers tried to persuade him, he did not hesitate to take them apart.
The main difference is too big. The company commander saw it as soon as he came in. He knew that the one running was Hu Dali!
Hu Dali also stopped them from helping each other: "If you help your comrades at this time, you will harm your comrades!"
Jiang Yun was in trouble because she couldn't fold her quilt into a proper shape.
In the end, she gave up completely and thought, just run, it’s just three laps!
But what Tan Lujin couldn't stand was her nonchalant attitude. He was saying to Guo Heping in the office, "Old Guo, look at Jiang Jun's demeanor. She thought she was just here to get some gilded status. Humph, how could it be so easy? I must teach her what a real soldier is!"
When the inspection was conducted in the afternoon, Jiang Yun indeed failed.
There were thirteen people in the female soldiers' dormitory who had to run three laps on the playground. Several girls started crying on the spot.
Jiang Jun didn't care. She had been planning to go for a run and wanted to finish early so that she could eat when she got hungry and enjoy the meal more.
When she went to the playground to run laps, she saw the male soldiers practicing standing at attention. Each of them was as still as a wooden stake, their eyes staring straight ahead. She was still admiring in her heart that being a soldier was indeed a training exercise, and their mental outlook immediately changed!
When the female soldiers went to practice standing at attention the next day, Jiang Jun's praise turned into lamentation: "Damn it, what a stupid teammate! Help!"
The whole day is: at ease, stand at attention, look to the right, look forward!
The action looked super simple, but under the command of platoon leader Hu Dali, the female soldiers just couldn't do it in unison.
When the teacher shouts "At ease", some people stand at attention. When the teacher shouts "Attention", some people stand at ease. When the teacher shouts "Look to the right", some people look to the left. When the teacher shouts "Look forward", some people look to the left and right.
You can’t laugh yet, because if you laugh, you will end up running laps on the playground.
Girls are shy, and running laps is not only physically tiring but also embarrassing. Running laps isn't a drill, it's a punishment, and it feels like you've made a huge mistake.
They practiced like this for three days, and before they even started practicing "march in step", these female soldiers were almost exhausted.
Jiang Jun stood at the dormitory door. There was an empty bed near the door. She pointed at the empty bed and said to Wang Aiping, "Aiping, you're fine. You can do somersaults as much as you want when you sleep at night."
Before she finished speaking, Hu Dali's voice rang out from behind her: "Step aside. Let me introduce you to a new comrade."
Jiang Jun took two steps inside and looked back sideways. All the female soldiers in the dormitory also turned their heads to look at the door.
Hu Dali led a slender female soldier in, placed the washbasin on the bedside table near the door, and gave the soldier a simple instruction: "Your bed is here. Put your things away and go to the cafeteria. I'll go find them to prepare dinner for you."
The female soldier put her backpack on the kang, glanced at the other female soldiers in the dormitory, and introduced herself with a gentle smile: "Hello everyone, my name is Mo Xiaohui."
