Zhao Lifei squatted on the ground and worked hard for a long time. As soon as he stood up, he was greeted by a group of new recruits with wide eyes and confused expressions on their faces.
Suddenly his anger started to rise: "What are you looking at me for? Look at the quilt."
"I'm teaching you how to fold a quilt, not how the quilt teaches you how to fold me. See if I can learn how to do it?"
With that said, Zhao Lifei looked at the time and continued: "It is now eight twenty, the lights-out whistle will be blown at nine-fifty, and the lights will be turned off at ten o'clock on time."
"You have one and a half hours to practice. If you can't learn it today, you will be very lucky to see the beautiful view of the new recruit company's sunrise in the east tomorrow morning."
"Disband."
No one acted on the orders given by the squad leader this time because they wouldn’t.
I don’t know why I disbanded.
Chen Ming turned around and saw the others standing there so stubbornly. He retracted his legs without leaving any trace and stood still.
"Everyone has a tough head. When I first joined the army, I knew how to do it after the veteran squad leader demonstrated it."
Zhao Lifei also knew why they didn't move. After scolding a few times, he said, "I'll demonstrate it again. If you still can't learn it, don't sleep. Go out and run for an hour to stretch your brain."
"Come, take a closer look."
The squad leader was about to squat down and take off the quilt when another voice came from behind him.
"Report."
"Who? What?"
"Tell the squad leader, use my quilt, I promise you can learn it." I don't know if Wang Shuaibing is really stupid or just being clever.
As soon as he finished the report, he bent down and carefully picked up the monitor's quilt from the ground and put it on the bed. He turned around and pulled his own new quilt to spread it on the floor.
He looked at the squad leader with an innocent face, not noticing Zhao Lifei's eyes that were about to spit out sulfuric acid.
Demonstration of folding tofu cubes on a new quilt, even an old soldier can't do it.
Seeing Zhao Lifei's teaching being interrupted and getting angry, Chen Ming quickly stood up from behind.
After all, he is also a veteran squad leader. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, if he wants to look ugly, isn't that just looking for excitement?
At the very least, save face, otherwise we will have to wait for the group to be dealt with.
"Report."
"Tell me, what's your problem?" Zhao Lifei's tone was obviously not as gentle as before.
"Report to the squad leader, let me demonstrate it again to see if I am doing it right. If there is no problem, it just happens that I am not skilled and move slowly, so they can see it more clearly."
"Well, you know how?" There was some surprise in the monitor's tone.
When he first learned how to fold quilts, he asked his squad leader to demonstrate it two or three times, and he also learned from other veterans for a long time before he mastered the technique. As for Chen Ming's just now saying that he could master it after just one look, he was just pretending in front of his squad leader.
Seeing Chen Ming nodding affirmatively.
Zhao Lifei squatted down and threw Wang Shuaibing's quilt on the floor onto the bed: "You don't know how to fold your own quilt?"
"Watch carefully what Chen Ming does. Even if he is wrong, at least he dares to try. What about you?"
After saying that, he put his quilt on the ground, spread it out completely, and deliberately smoothed out the folded marks.
Then he clapped his hands and stood up and said, "Okay, come on, I'll keep an eye on you. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. I'll correct you and there won't be any problems. Come on."
In order to make it easier for Chen Ming to perform, Zhao Lifei stepped back two meters and stood at the end of the bed.
Chen Ming did not write ink, nodded and squatted on the ground. As the saying goes, it is not difficult for those who know how to do it, but it is difficult for those who don’t know how to do it. He had been exposed to folding tofu cubes more than ten years ago. In his previous life, when he was the director of a sports school, he often went there. Check the housekeeping of the student dormitory.
I am a little bit crafty, but my skills will never be forgotten.
I recalled the squad leader's actions over and over again in my mind, combining them with my own experience.
Chen Ming quickly started folding, his movements were regular, neither fast nor slow, and there was no sense of sluggishness at all.
Once the creases are erased, use the palm of your hand to measure and cut bit by bit with a hand knife to shape the quilt.
He did more steps than the squad leader, but his movements were not as slow as he just said. It can be said that he was very skilled.
This shocked the new recruits who were watching from behind.
If they didn't know how to do it, then everyone would be stupid and feel at ease. But now that some people know how to do it, the gap has become clear, and they appear to be useless.
Even Zhao Lifei, who was standing behind, was stunned.
An expert looks at the door, and an outsider looks at the excitement. In his eyes, Chen Ming's actions are definitely not the first time this kid has been exposed to the army and made quilts.
He even knows how to measure and shape, the techniques he just mentioned. Could this be his first contact?
Zhao Lifei's eyes flickered a little, and he even felt a little ashamed.
When he first entered the military camp, he asked the squad leader to teach him three times but still didn't understand it. Later, he didn't dare to go to the squad leader for fear of being scolded, so he went to the veteran to teach him for a long time. It was the veteran who taught him the lesson.
As a result, he has been a soldier for six years and was taught a lesson by a new recruit today?
Chen Ming didn't notice the shocked gazes of others. He calmed down and moved as if he were repairing a handicraft. He measured it carefully. After the quilt was formed, he took out the little red book he had just given and scraped and repaired it over and over again.
It took about seven minutes, and a perfect block of tofu appeared on the ground.
In terms of speed, it is indeed not as fast as what the monitor taught just now.
But in terms of results, the aesthetics and standard are not bad at all.
Seeing Chen Ming stop his movements, Zhao Lifei put away the shock on his face, returned to his seriousness, walked over and walked around the quilt and said: "It's okay so far, my performance is good, but it's just a little worse than what I did before."
"But it doesn't matter, it's already good to be able to do this."
"You guys, learn from Chen Ming."
"By the way, have you been in contact with him before?" Zhao Lifei finally couldn't hold it back and turned to ask.
"Report to monitor, I studied it in school and watched the video. I only half understood it at the time. I also tried it, but it didn't work. After seeing your actions just now, monitor, I really mastered it."
Chen Ming responded quickly. What he said was half true and half false. Zhao Lifei didn't bother to ask more questions, so he simply waved his hand and said, "Okay, put my quilt on the bed."
"There are still one hour and twenty minutes before lights out. Practice on your own. If you don't understand, ask Chen Ming. If he doesn't understand, ask me again."
After Zhao Lifei finished explaining, he moved the maza and Da Ma Jin Dao sat there and acted as a supervisor.
He expected that these new recruits would come to ask for advice, because the first step in folding a quilt was not how to fold it, but how to grind it.
Just grind it down and compact it.
It's not that he deliberately concealed this. Organizing the house itself was a process of polishing the recruits' patience, and they needed to explore many things on their own.
As a squad leader, you can only play a guiding role. Of course, you can't be too insignificant. You still have to reveal the experience of veterans from time to time.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated. When he encountered a new recruit like Chen Ming, his supervisor was of no use.
This place has just been disbanded.
The recruits from Class 1 surrounded Chen Ming. They did not dare to disturb the squad leader. However, facing Chen Ming, who was also a recruit, they did not have so many scruples.
Wang Shuaibing took the lead and grabbed his arm: "Brother, Brother Chen, Brother Ming, Brother Chen Ming, you can call me whatever you want, please teach me."
"Let me learn how to fold a quilt first."
"Don't worry about the others. Teach me and I will deal with them."
