After the morning training, Li Xiang took advantage of the break after lunch to go to the playground alone to continue practicing the queue in order not to hold back the first class. When he came to the playground, he realized that he was missing one person to help shout commands. Just as he was thinking this, someone suddenly came out from behind Li Xiang. Li Xiang turned around and saw that it was Gao Jie.
"Gao Jie, why are you here at the playground too?"
Since Li Xiang and Gao Jie reconciled, the relationship between the two has undergone earth-shaking changes, from the previous enemy relationship to a close comrade-in-arms relationship.
"I saw you coming, so I followed you. What's wrong? Is it because you had a problem with turning smoothly during the queue training in the morning, and now you are working overtime to correct your movements?"
Li Xiang nodded sheepishly, expressing his acquiescence.
"Hahaha... you see, I guessed it right away."
Gao Jie laughed and patted Li Xiang on the shoulder.
"Well, today at noon, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman and shout the commands for you. As for you, don't be anxious and practice slowly. I won't rush you until you are proficient. I believe you can change it. He's got the habit of being obedient."
After finishing speaking, Gao Jie did not forget to give Li Xiang a thumbs up. Li Xiang seemed a little overwhelmed by Gao Jie's sudden show of kindness to him.
"Gao Jie, thank you."
"Hi! Thank you for that. Haven't we made peace with each other? All those previous festivals have passed. From now on, we will be brothers. Shouldn't brothers help each other?"
Gao Jie asked Li Xiang.
"Yeah." Li Xiang accepted Gao Jie's help calmly.
"Come on, Oli." Gao Jie clenched his fists and cheered for Li Xiang.
…
About half an hour later, the deputy squad leader suddenly discovered that Li Xiang and Gao Jie were not in the dormitory. Thinking that the two would cause some trouble, he quickly reported their absence to the first squad leader.
"Squad leader, no, Li Xiang and Gao Jie are missing. Are they going to fight again?"
Regarding the deputy squad leader's reminder, the squad leader's heart suddenly skipped a beat, because the two had always been enemies, and now that they were not in the dormitory, an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his mind. However, judging from the morning training, they should have reconciled.
"Did they both go to the bathroom at the same time?"
The squad leader tried his best to think things in a positive direction.
"There is no one in the toilet. I asked a recruit to go and search in the toilet, but no one was found." The deputy squad leader was afraid that Li Xiang and Gao Jie would cause trouble again, so he kept an eye on them.
"Come on, let's go to the playground quickly."
The squad leader and deputy squad leader hurried to the playground, but what they saw was a heart-warming scene. Li Xiang and Gao Jie were facing the scorching sun, one shouting commands and the other performing movements, sweating and practicing the same sequence of movements over and over again. By this time, Li Xiang's problem with Shunguai had been basically corrected.
"plum……."
The deputy squad leader was about to call Li Xiang to go back to the dormitory to rest, but the squad leader immediately stopped him.
"Deputy squad leader, look at these two guys, they used to be bitter enemies, but now they have finally reconciled. Let's not disturb them just yet and let them continue training." The squad leader looked at Li Xiang and Gao Jie seriously. Suddenly there was an inexplicable feeling in my heart.
…
On this day, after the first squad leader came back from the meeting at the company headquarters, his face was gloomy and he said nothing. Normally, the squad leader would be talking and laughing when he came back from the meeting, but something seemed wrong today.
"Squad leader, I see you don't seem very happy today. What's going on? Have you been criticized by the company commander?" the deputy squad leader asked cautiously.
"Yes, our housekeeping is really bad." The squad leader said with a sigh.
Then, the squad leader picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, stood up, and said to everyone solemnly: "From today on, our squad will not rest at noon every day. Everyone uses the rest time to practice folding quilts. When you fold the quilt, you don’t need to practice anymore.”
As soon as these words came out, the recruits immediately aroused objections and began to complain. At the same time, the deputy squad leader didn't quite understand, but he knew that since the first squad leader had made this decision, he had already made up his mind.
"Squad leader, please think about it again. You guys are so tired from training every day, and they don't let you take a break at noon. How can these recruits keep up with their physical training?" The deputy squad leader whispered in the squad leader's ear. The big guy intercedes.
"Can't you bear such a small amount of hardship? I think we suffered much more than you young soldiers back then. There is no need to discuss this matter. It will be implemented today." The squad leader directly raised his voice and addressed all the recruits in the squad. said.
Seeing the resolute attitude of the squad leader, the deputy squad leader did not dare to say anything. He just asked weakly: "Squad leader, how many names are ranked in the internal affairs evaluation of our class?"
"Then you still need to ask? The last one."
After saying that, the squad leader waved his hands angrily and left the dormitory.
…
At noon that day, all the recruits in the other classes of the second company were resting and sleeping. Only the recruits in the first class, holding their own quilts, followed the deputy squad leader to the corridor outside the dormitory to practice folding quilts. Because it couldn't be used in the dormitory, the deputy squad leader chose to fold the quilt outside the corridor.
"Deputy squad leader, the ground is so dirty, are you sure we can fold the quilt here?" Li Xiang asked the deputy squad leader.
The deputy squad leader responded: "If you don't fold the quilt here, where else can you fold it? Could it be that you go to the playground to fold the quilt? The floor is dirty, just clean it with a broom and mop it again."
"Li Xiang, Gao Jie, one of you sweeps the floor and the other mops the floor. Clean this corridor immediately." The deputy squad leader continued.
After hearing the instructions from the deputy squad leader, Li Xiang looked at the deputy squad leader with a dark look on his face. He really shouldn't talk too much. He was just asking. He still had to work now.
"Everyone, please hurry up. There is only a short time at noon, so we must seize the time to train. Why do you think your internal affairs performance is so poor? You are ranked last in the company."
At the urging of the deputy squad leader, Li Xiang and Gao Jie had no choice but to get brooms and mops to work. After the two cleaned the corridor, the deputy squad leader also put his quilt on the ground and showed everyone his own quilt.
"Everyone, be careful, when you fold a quilt, you must not be too fast. If you are too fast, you will not be able to fold a quilt well. Only if you spend time and polish it can you fold a quilt well..." The deputy squad leader taught everyone how to fold a quilt over and over again. and finishing quilts.
Li Xiang was not very interested in folding quilts, but was a little disgusted with it. Therefore, he did not take the deputy squad leader's guidance to heart. Because he believes that folding quilts has nothing to do with being a soldier. He joined the army to join the army to kill enemies on the battlefield one day. If he wants to kill more enemies on the battlefield, he must improve his physical fitness and train his ability to kill enemies. Now, he has been in the army for a week. In addition to physical training, the daily training is either queueing or folding quilts. These trainings even make him doubt the combat effectiveness of such an army.
"Li Xiang, did you hear what I said?"
The deputy monitor saw Li Xiang in a daze and reminded Li Xiang.
"Oh, I heard it." Li Xiang responded casually.
"As long as you heard it, repeat what I just said." The deputy squad leader knew that Li Xiang was distracted and deliberately asked Li Xiang to repeat what he said.
"Fold the quilt..., want..."
Li Xiang hesitated for a long time, but couldn't tell the truth.
"Okay, you don't need to say it anymore. Now listen carefully. I will teach you one last time, and then you can practice on your own." The deputy squad leader took the trouble to demonstrate it to everyone again.
