Folding quilts is a long, boring and time-consuming task in itself.
Inside the dormitory.
Chen Ming led a group of new recruits, who relied on street lights to illuminate their beds from dark to busy until daylight came out.
I echoed what the monitor said yesterday.
If the quilt is not folded well, these soldiers will be lucky enough to see the new soldiers rising in the east.
This is not true at all.
It was busy until after five o'clock, but the squad leader and Wei Chongchong did not come back. Seeing that the recruits in the dormitory were so tired that they could not stand up straight.
Chen Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Okay, brothers, stop pressing. I'll teach you to start folding."
"This damn weather, it's already mid-October, why is it still so hot? I feel so stuffy and dizzy early in the morning."
"Come on, come on, spread the quilt on the floor, and I'll teach you how to make creases. It's quite difficult to fold tofu blocks with the new quilt pressed to this extent."
"If you want to save trouble, you can pull out some cotton wool, but we can't do that. Take out the pens and the little red book in the drawer to use as props, start painting, and try to finish it before six o'clock."
Chen Ming greeted, and the other recruits followed suit in an orderly manner.
However, if you want to stack it into a serious tofu cube, it is basically impossible.
Chen Ming can do it by himself. He can trim the edges and corners of quilts with experience. In fact, anyone can fold the shape of a tofu block. The most difficult thing is trimming the corners. Without experience, it is really not possible. The new recruits are almost useless.
Anyway, on the first day, just make it look visible.
Nine quilts were laid out on the ground, and Chen Ming squatted in the middle and started teaching. The process was complicated, and everyone was busy for almost half an hour.
During this period of repair and picking, the quilts were finally trimmed into something a little more attractive.
When Chen Ming stood up and was about to move the quilt to the bed, he turned around and saw many veterans standing scattered outside the window.
Looking around, there were ten or twenty of them, not even one with two crutches to be seen. They were all non-commissioned officers, many of whom were in the third phase.
Chen Ming was a little confused. This was the recruit company.
Even Laoye's single combat company can't gather so many second and third phases. There are no cannons to repair and no tanks to teach.
What are they here for?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Just like on TV, the new recruits are greeted with big red flowers as they get on the train. At first glance, it seems that a big leader is present.
Chen Ming and the others got into the car with nothing but two steamed buns and a pack of pickled mustard. It was obvious why.
He has two lifetimes of experience behind him, and by observing some situations, he knows that something important may happen to the recruit company today.
At this time, it is impossible for the squad leader to supervise Wei Chongchong's punishment at the training ground, and he will probably be back soon.
Thinking of this, Chen Ming quickly greeted: "Brothers, put all the quilts on the bed, and try to repair any areas that are not working."
"The monitor is coming back."
"No way." Wang Shuaibing shook his head, "Brother Chen, you are thinking too much."
"Old Wei has become a drowned rat. If he wants to dry out his quilt, the squad leader will definitely be there to watch. What if that guy loses his mind and runs away?"
"I won't come back. I guess we'll have to go to the training ground by ourselves later."
What he said was certain, but it was a pity that he was a little wrong.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Lifei opened the dormitory door and led Wei Chong back.
Looking around with a cold face, he saw that the quilts were all neatly folded, and his expression softened slightly: "Everyone is here, the beds are made, and we will gather in front of the military mirror in the hall on the first floor of the dormitory."
"Put on your military uniform, hat and belt, and be quick."
"Chen Ming."
"arrive"
"You don't have to go over there yet. Help fold Wei Chongchong's quilt and fix it. The quilt is easy to fold if it gets wet. Hurry up and get it ready and go out to gather."
"Everyone else, speed."
"Yes." Chen Ming responded and looked at Wei Chongchong's quilt. The child was wearing a quilt and his face was pale. I'm afraid he was punished a lot.
The roguish air of the morning was gone at all.
"Why are you still standing there? Give the quilt to Chen Ming and go change clothes. Do you need me to remind you?"
At this time, Zhao Lifei was like a bag of explosives. Who dared to get into trouble?
Wei Chongchong was so frightened that he quickly put the quilt on the bed, got up and went to the iron cabinet to get another set of military uniforms to put on.
The other recruits didn't dare to say anything. They quickly put their things away and ran outside to assemble.
Chen Ming squatted down and helped fold the quilt. The quilt and quilt were soaked and dripping. It was not easy to fold them into tofu cubes.
At this time, the squad leader and other recruits had gone out, and only Wei Chongchong and himself were left in the dormitory.
While folding the quilt, Chen Ming glanced at Wei Chongchong secretly. The other party seemed to notice Chen Ming's gaze and said with a wry smile: "I'm fine. I was forced to stand for two hours."
"Thanks brother, I really should have listened to you and gotten up quickly this morning."
"Oh, by the way, a veteran at the training ground just came over to inform us that someone seems to be coming today. There will be a big overhaul at our place today, so be mentally prepared."
"Well, I understand."
Wei Chongchong didn't say much, changed his clothes and hurried out.
Even with the quilt folded, Chen Ming could hear a lot of movement outside. It seemed that other dormitories were no exception. They were all gathering in the lobby on the first floor of the dormitory.
The army is a violent institution of the country. It has many rules and many things to do. This is normal.
But the fact that the recruit company was so lively really puzzled him. After folding the wet bedding, Chen Ming went to the dormitory to tidy up his military appearance.
Run quickly towards the meeting point in the hall.
Before they could reach their destination, they saw all the recruits from the first group gathered at the far left side of the hall. Wang Shuaibing stood there motionless with his head raised high.
Recruit company commander Guo Yuanzheng, instructor Lin Fengcheng, platoon leader Jiang Peng, squad leaders, and veterans who came over were all discussing something in the open space outside the dormitory building.
The atmosphere was quite tense.
Chen Ming did not dare to delay, quickly entered the queue, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
"Who did the squad leader say was coming just now?"
"No, just come here and let me line up without saying anything." Wang Shuaibing shook his head slightly: "Look at the posture, will the leader be coming?"
"As far as I know, only when the regiment leader comes can there be such a big battle. It makes me, a person who has never touched a gun, feel like I am going to the battlefield."
Forehead...
"Maybe." Chen Ming said perfunctorily. The commander of the Hammer was coming. Where could the commander of the artillery brigade come from?
The regiment-level units had long been abolished when the division was transformed into a brigade two years ago. Besides, Chen Ming didn't think that someone of the level of the commander of the new company would come over.
What can you do here?
Condolences to the new recruits?
The leader should not be so free.
Just when Chen Ming was thinking about what would happen here, six small military vehicles drove into the recruit company.
The car door opened and a dozen people got out of the car.
The people who came this time had higher military ranks, but from the direction of Chen Ming, there were six or seven captains and two majors. The dark group of people felt even more oppressive.
Seeing these people coming, Jiang Peng, the recruit platoon leader, immediately shouted: "Each class, today's morning exercises are cancelled. Each class will arrange a person on duty to help in the canteen."
"Quick, squad leaders, take action."
