Faced with the silent cafeteria, the college students who were originally whispering were also frightened by the scene before them and all fell silent.
"Starting now, 10 people per table, quickly sit down. Without instructions, absolutely do not touch the food on top. Remain silent! Start now!"
The chief instructor was speaking again, and the cafeteria with more than a thousand people was filled with the chief instructor's loud voice.
"Sit down, stand up, sit down, stand up!"
It wasn't until the chief instructor was satisfied that he gave the order to start eating.
Everyone was already starving, especially those who had felt carsick on the way here. They had vomited out all the food in their stomachs long ago, and after such a long training session, they were all extremely hungry.
The entire cafeteria was filled with the sound of people chewing food. Although the food was simple whole grain steamed buns and stir-fried dishes, they tasted especially delicious because everyone was so hungry.
After dinner, you can go back to the dormitory to rest. There is a total of one and a half hours of rest time.
"Oh my god, I'm so tired!"
"Who says it isn't? It's even more tiring than working in the fields at home."
"This is much stricter than the Boy Scouts back then!"
"Okay, okay, stop talking and take a rest. You'll probably be even more tired in the afternoon."
"Who came up with this military training?"
As the complaints continued, the sound of breathing gradually became lighter, and everyone gradually fell asleep.
"Siya, Siya, hurry up and get up! The break is over."
Lin Siya was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly woken up. She tried hard to open her eyes and found that it was her classmate, Zhang Zhi, who was sleeping in the bed next to her.
"Thank you, Zhang Zhi!"
"You're welcome. Hurry up and get up, or we'll be late."
Then she went to call several other classmates who were still deep in sleep.
Lin Siya quickly went to get a basin of water and washed her face to wake herself up. While no one was paying attention, she applied some sunscreen on her face and arms. After she was ready, she filled the water bottle she carried with her with boiling water, and then ran to the playground with her roommates.
From a distance, they saw the instructor standing there with a gloomy face. Everyone immediately slowed down and walked into the team nervously.
Lin Siya also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhang Zhi woke her up today, otherwise she would have been late.
As time passed, the instructor's face became more and more ugly because many students had not arrived yet.
As the whistle sounded, the instructor's slightly angry voice also rang out.
"Don't go into the team, all of you, come here!" the instructor shouted with a dark face, scaring these people so much that they quickly stood aside.
It wasn't until the last person arrived that the instructor said, "What did you say this morning? You must gather on time. How did you do it? You're so late! Those who are late, run 10 laps around the playground."
“Ah, no!”
There was a groaning from those who were late.
"What are you shouting for? If you keep shouting, give me five more laps!"
Suddenly no one shouted anymore, and these latecomers could only start running around the playground.
Those who were not late were not much better off. They were being made to stand at attention by the instructors of each class.
When those who had finished running 10 laps came back panting, they found that those who had not been punished to run were standing at attention in the sun, sweating profusely. They immediately felt much more balanced.
The afternoon was a very boring training session, turning left, turning right, standing at attention, etc., all the movements were repeated over and over again.
Lin Siya found it relatively easy to do because of her experience in her previous life. Some of the others who had been Boy Scouts or were future classmates were also able to keep up, but others could not.
Either they couldn't tell left from right, or they couldn't remember the movements, and coupled with the scorching sun, everyone was sweating profusely.
As a result, several female students with weaker bodies fainted from heatstroke.
Seeing this situation, the instructor waved his hand and asked them to go to the shade of the tree to rest for a while. The female student who fainted was also examined by a doctor, who gave them medicine for heatstroke and told them to just rest for a while.
Lin Siya did not suffer from heatstroke, but she sweated a lot. She also took the time to rest and replenish water.
The days of military training passed one by one. Every day was very hard, but the changes in everyone were visible to the naked eye.
During this process, Lin Siya got along well with the other nine female classmates in the dormitory. When they couldn't sleep at night, they often had dorm chats, so she also learned some about their situations.
Among the nine female classmates, only two were from Beijing and had good family conditions. One of them was Zhang Zhi, who woke her up. She was 20 years old and not married yet, but she already had a fiancé. She said that she and her fiancé grew up together and he also got into college like her, but he was studying in the university next door.
Zhang Zhi's parents both work in a meat processing plant. They are a dual-income family. She has only one younger brother. Both parents are not patriarchal, so Zhang Zhi is relatively favored at home.
Because there is a big age gap between her and her younger brother, she has been raising him since he was a child. Therefore, like an older sister, she is more willing to take care of classmates younger than her in the dormitory.
The other one is called Xiang Wenling, also a native of Beijing, and the only daughter in the family.
In this era when every family has many children, it is really rare to have an only daughter. According to her, her mother had heavy bleeding when giving birth to her, which scared her father, so her father did not allow his mother to have a second child.
Lin Siya thought to herself that Xiang Wenling's father was probably in love.
Apart from these two local female classmates, the rest are from all over the country.
There is Li Meidi from the Northwest, a cheerful girl with a rough skin but white teeth. She was able to be admitted to a university in Beijing from the Northwest. In her words, it was a great honor for her family’s ancestral graves.
However, her family conditions are not particularly good, and there are many children in the family. Fortunately, she is the youngest in the family, and her older brothers and sisters have already started their own families.
Knowing that she was admitted to a university in Beijing, and one of the best universities in the country, they were very happy and supported her very much. After all, the university also provided subsidies and they didn't need to pay anything. Despite this, before she came to university, several brothers and sisters still gave her some money.
Therefore, Li Meidi was very frugal during her college years, because her parents were very old and their health was very poor due to long-term labor. She wanted to save more money and send it to her parents so that they could buy medicine.
So during the two months of summer vacation, Li Meidi did not go home and kept trying to find a temporary job.
