When it was time to practice, the deputy squad leader left the corridor, leaving the recruits in the first squad each with a space, lying on the ground and folding quilts carefully. Although the deputy squad leader explained it very carefully, it was still difficult for everyone to fold the quilt. The more Gao Jie practiced, the more angry he became. Isn't it just folding quilts? There is no need to be so serious.
"Li Xiang, I don't understand. Why does the squad leader make us compete with this quilt every day? Why don't we let us have a good rest?"
Gao Jie and Li Xiang complained, just to vent their dissatisfaction.
"Hi! I can't figure it out either." Li Xiang also shook his head and smiled bitterly.
At this time, Xiaopang came out of the dormitory with a smile, and then said to everyone with great interest: "Comrades, come here quickly, I have a secret to tell you."
Hearing the word "secret", everyone put their heads next to Xiaopang.
"Hey, do you know? I discovered a huge secret. When I went to check the quilts of Class 3 just now, I found that the quilts of their class were damp. No wonder their quilts are folded so neatly and every time The reason why I won first place was because I added water to the quilt."
"What? There's water in the quilt. I'll go take a look."
Xiaopang's secret suddenly became explosive news. Li Xiang didn't believe it and went to the dormitory of Class 3 to check. It was exactly as Xiaopang said. Most people's quilts had some water sprinkled on them, so , the quilt can be folded with edges and corners.
"Li Xiang, are the quilts in class three really filled with water?" Gao Jie saw Li Xiang coming out and quickly stepped forward to ask.
Li Xiang did not deny it and nodded slightly.
"Li Xiang, should we add some water to our quilts? I don't want to practice folding quilts in this corridor every day without having to take a break at noon. It's so damn embarrassing."
Li Xiang thought for a moment, then snapped his fingers in mid-air.
"Since they do this in class three, we do the same and add water."
Later, at Li Xiang's call, the recruits in the first class added water to their quilts, wetted them, and then folded the quilts again. Fatty's behavior was even more exaggerated. He even brought a basin directly from the dormitory. Li Xiang was about to stop him, but before he could, Fatty directly spilled the basin of water on the quilt.
"Little Fatty, why did you add so much water?" Li Xiang asked Little Fatty.
"Hehehe..." Xiaopang giggled, "If you add more water, wouldn't it be easier to make the shape?"
"It's winter now, how can you sleep at night?" Li Xiang shook his head and sighed.
"Uh..." When Li Xiang reminded him, Xiaopang was dumbfounded. He didn't think so much when he was fetching water. However, now that the quilt is wet, it is irreversible.
Quilts that have been added with water are naturally much easier to organize. No need to think too much, everyone's quilts are neatly folded and look like tofu cubes.
After a while, the deputy squad leader came back and started to check how everyone's quilts were folded. Looking from afar, everyone's quilts were folded neatly. It seemed that today's training was effective. The deputy squad leader didn't think much and hurriedly invited the squad leader to come over for inspection.
"Squad leader, come here quickly."
The deputy squad leader stood at the door and waved to the first squad leader, who put down his work and walked out.
"Look, with our class's current internal affairs level, I don't believe it can't get first place." The deputy squad leader said proudly.
"Well, it's indeed good. It seems that today's training effect is good, so let's call it a day."
The first squad leader did not check carefully, but just stood at the door and took a general look. From a distance, it seemed that the quality of everyone's housekeeping had indeed improved very quickly. According to the current level, he could indeed win first place.
"Squad leader, do we still need to continue practicing at noon tomorrow?"
The deputy squad leader also doesn’t want everyone to practice folding quilts at noon every day. The squad leader thought for a moment, and then told everyone: "There will be no need to practice at noon tomorrow. However, our class's internal affairs from now on will have to be folded according to today's level, you know?"
"I know." Everyone replied in unison.
…
At three o'clock in the morning, while Li Xiang slept until midnight, he suddenly suffered from leg cramps. The severe pain quickly woke him up from his sleep.
Li Xiang quickly opened the quilt, sat up from the bed, and kept rubbing his leg muscles to prevent them from being strained by cramps. After struggling for a long time, Li Xiang eased the pain in his legs. Then, Li Xiang pulled up the quilt and prepared to rest. Inadvertently, Li Xiang touched the quilt and felt a biting chill. It may be that adding water to the quilt during the day caused leg cramps. It is better to add water to the quilt as little as possible in the future.
At this time, Gao Jie, who was sleeping opposite, also sat up from the bed and sneezed loudly.
"Li Xiang, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" Gao Jie asked in a low voice when he saw Li Xiang sitting on the bed.
"Hi! Why haven't you slept? I just had leg cramps. Get up and rub them. How about you?" Li Xiang explained.
"Oh, I just woke up from the cold. Tell me, did our quilt have too much water?"
Li Xiang nodded, and then warned Gao Jie, "It seems that when we fold the quilt tomorrow, we still need to add less water. In such a cold day, it is not worth it if you catch a cold."
"Um."
Gao Jie hummed, then continued to lie down and sleep.
…
The next morning, the wake-up call sounded on time, and all the recruits in the first class got up one after another and went out to gather, but only the little fat man was still lying in bed and did not get up.
The squad leader thought that Fatty was sleeping in, so he angrily ran over and pushed Fatty's body a few times, while shouting loudly: "Little Fatty, stop sleeping in, it's time to get up."
After the squad leader yelled a few times, Xiaopang just turned over, but still had no intention of getting up. Immediately, the squad leader became angry. He hated this kind of procrastinating recruits. He lifted the quilt off Little Fatty on the spot and gave a stern order: "Little Fatty, I order you to get out of bed immediately."
Hearing the monitor's voice shouting beside him, Xiaopang had no choice but to raise his heavy eyes, prop up his weak body, and sit up from the bed with difficulty. It was only then that the squad leader noticed something was wrong with Xiaopang's physical condition. He was feeling weak and his face was red.
"Little Fatty, what's wrong with you?" the squad leader immediately asked with concern.
"I..., my head hurts a little."
The squad leader quickly reached out and touched Xiaopang's forehead. It felt a little hot. It turned out that Xiaopang had a fever. Without saying a word, the first squad leader took a military coat and put it on Xiaopang, and immediately walked out of the door with Xiaopang on his back.
"Deputy squad leader, you will organize this morning's training. I will take Xiaopang to the hospital now." Walking outside the door, the squad leader handed over the command today to the deputy squad leader, and he carried Xiaopang to the hospital. .
"Yes, squad leader." The deputy squad leader took the order.
The squad leader sent Xiaopang to the hospital. After everything was settled, he returned to the dormitory. When he was making Xiaopang's bed, he accidentally discovered that the quilt on Xiaopang's bed was wet. He could squeeze out the water with just a slight twist of his hand.
"No wonder the little fat guy has a fever. It's such a cold day with such a damp quilt. It's weird that he doesn't have a fever. No matter how strong his body is, he can't withstand such a torment." The squad leader thought to himself.
"No, why is Little Fatty's quilt wet? Is it because he sprinkled the quilt with water in order to fold it?"
"Also, during the noon training yesterday, why did everyone's housekeeping skills improve so quickly?"
A series of questions suddenly flashed in the mind of the squad leader. With these confusions, the squad leader came to check the quilts of Li Xiang and Gao Jie, and found that Li Xiang and Gao Jie were also damp. Looking at other people's quilts, they were also a little wet. Moist, but the little fat quilt has the most moisture. No wonder I saw Little Fatty bouncing around yesterday and suddenly had a fever this morning.
Later, a squad leader came to the training ground very angry and began to question everyone.
"Whose idea was it to sprinkle water on the quilt during the quilt folding training at noon yesterday?"
Seeing the livid complexion of the squad leader, the recruits in the squad knew that the squad leader was here to investigate. In fact, everyone knew very well that Xiaopang had a fever in the morning.
