The squad leader became even more annoyed when he saw that no one dared to admit it.
"Okay, you all don't dare to admit it, right? Then let's run five kilometers together until someone admits it."
Although Li Xiang did not come up with the idea of adding water, in order to prevent everyone from being punished together, Li Xiang immediately stood up from the team.
"It was my idea to report to the monitor."
Seeing that Li Xiang had taken the responsibility, Gao Jie also stepped forward. This idea was originally proposed by Xiaopang, but now that Xiaopang is in the hospital, it would be a bit too unkind to put the responsibility on him.
"It was not Li Xiang's idea to report to the monitor, it was my idea." Gao Jie replied loudly.
"Squad leader, this was my idea and has nothing to do with Gao Jie." Li Xiang pushed Gao Jie aside, stood in front of the squad leader, and took the responsibility on himself again.
"It's not Li Xiang, it's me, monitor." Not to be outdone, Gao Jie continued to argue with Li Xiang.
"It's not Gao Jie, it's me."
…
Li Xiang and Gao Jie kept arguing back and forth. Watching the two fighting back and forth, the first squad leader felt a little dizzy, and then said: "Okay, you two, stop fighting and accept the punishment together. Starting from noon today, the deputy squad leader will take you two to make quilts. When will Fold the quilt, and you can go back to the dormitory to rest at noon."
Hearing this punishment, Li Xiang immediately opened his mouth. "Squad leader, didn't you ask us to run five kilometers?"
"Hehehe..." the squad leader smiled evilly, "You think so well. I know you are good at running. Five kilometers is not a punishment for you."
Then, the squad leader turned around and said to everyone: "Now, let me solemnly declare to everyone that in the future, when you fold quilts, you are not allowed to add water to the quilts, not even a little bit of water. Do you understand?"
"I know." Everyone replied in unison.
…
At noon, Li Xiang and Gao Jie, under the supervision of the deputy squad leader, had to carry the quilt to the corridor and start folding the quilt. Although there were ten thousand reluctances in their hearts, since the squad leader issued an order, it must be carried out. They could only follow the deputy squad leader to the corridor to fold their quilts.
"Li Xiang, Gao Jie, how to fold a quilt, I taught you yesterday, in great detail. Now, you two practice it first, I will deal with something first, and I will come over later to check how you are doing. "
After the deputy squad leader left, the two of them did not fold the quilt seriously, but complained in the corridor.
"Li Xiang, do you think the squad leader's handling of the quilt folding is a bit unfair? Why can other classes sprinkle water on the quilt, but our class can't? We are not allowed to sprinkle water on the quilt, and we want to Let's fold the quilt, and I'll see if the squad leader's brain is flooded with water." Gao Jie whispered in Li Xiang's ear, he was afraid that the squad leader would hear it.
"That's right, it would be weird if it didn't get water."
Li Xiang also complained.
"I don't understand. Is there any connection between the quilt folding we practice every day and fighting as a soldier? We also conduct internal affairs evaluations every day. What's the use of folding quilts into tofu blocks? Can we kill the enemy on the battlefield?"
Gao Jie didn't expect that Li Xiang would actually complain a lot when he just brought up this topic, and his words would be even worse than his own.
"Gao Jie, I don't want to fold the quilt anymore. Even if the deputy squad leader comes over in a while, I won't fold the quilt anymore. I have decided that I will fight the squad leader to the end on folding the quilt."
Li Xiang decided to go all out. Li Xiang had already been at odds with the squad leader over the matter of folding quilts.
"What? Li Xiang, you don't fold the quilt? Are you disobeying military orders? When the time comes, the squad leader can take you to solitary confinement!"
Gao Jie didn't expect that his casual words would arouse such great resistance from Li Xiang.
"There's nothing to be afraid of in confinement. Just confine yourself. I'm not afraid." Li Xiang said righteously.
"Okay, Li Xiang, you have the guts." What Gao Jie admires most about Li Xiang is this kind of righteousness and awe-inspiring spirit, "Then I, Gao Jie, will risk my life to accompany you. If you don't fold the quilt, and I won't fold it, the worst will happen to both of us. Confinement together.”
"Um."
Li Xiang nodded and shook hands with Gao Jie.
At this time, the deputy squad leader came back from finishing his work and found that the quilts of the two of them did not seem to have been moved much. They were just as they were when they left, and they were still the same when they came back. Their quilts were spread flat on the corridor.
"How many times have you folded your quilt?" the deputy squad leader asked seriously.
"Deputy squad leader, we have decided not to fold the quilt." Li Xiang responded to the deputy squad leader resolutely without any secret.
"What? Did I hear it correctly?" The deputy squad leader plucked his ears with his fingers, and then asked Li Xiang. He couldn't believe that these words would come out of Li Xiang's mouth.
"Yes, deputy squad leader, you heard it right, we just decided not to fold the quilt." Li Xiang responded to the deputy squad leader with certainty.
"Li Xiang, you two should stop joking and fold the quilt seriously. If the squad leader hears this, he will skin you both. You two should fold the quilt carefully first. Maybe one day, the squad leader will look at you two. If you perform well, I won't punish you two. And I will pretend that I didn't hear what you two just said, and I won't tell the monitor."
The deputy squad leader tried to persuade Li Xiang with good words, but this time Li Xiang was really determined to confront the squad leader.
"Deputy monitor, you don't have to persuade us. This time, we are determined not to make quilts again." Li Xiang reiterated it again seriously.
At this time, the smiling face of the deputy squad leader suddenly solidified.
"Li Xiang, you have to think carefully. If you really don't want to fold the quilt, then I will have to go find the squad leader. By then, when the squad leader comes, you two will definitely be walking around without food. Don't blame me. I didn’t remind you two.”
Seeing Li Xiang and Gao Jie standing there without caring, the deputy squad leader had no choice but to invite the squad leader over and let the squad leader handle the matter.
"Li Xiang, Gao Jie, what's going on with you two? Do you dare to disobey my orders?" After the squad leader came over, he looked at Li Xiang sternly. However, Li Xiang did not intend to show weakness.
"Squad leader, just put me in confinement. Anyway, I just don't want to fold the quilt."
Li Xiang had no intention of backing down.
Seeing Li Xiang's firm attitude in speaking, the first squad leader stared at Li Xiang for a while. If Li Xiang and Gao Jie were to be dragged into solitary confinement, the first squad leader would be reluctant to do so. After pondering for a moment, the squad leader continued to ask Li Xiang: "Okay, you don't want to fold the quilt, right? Then there must be a reason. Tell me your reason and let me hear it?"
"Squad leader, I don't understand. Why don't we spend our daily training time on physical training, but waste a lot of time on folding quilts every day? Besides, what's the point of insisting on folding quilts every day? "
When asked by the squad leader, Li Xiang finally expressed the doubts he had been harboring in his heart for a long time.
"Hahaha... It turns out that's the reason. Then let me tell you why we make quilts every day."
Hearing Li Xiang speak his mind, the squad leader burst into laughter.
“First, folding quilts every day can maintain the concentration and unity of military officers and soldiers.
Officers and soldiers exist for fighting. On the battlefield, the troops are required to be highly centralized and unified, and to enforce orders and prohibitions. So how can we maintain a high degree of centralization and unity in the daily training and management of the army? Of course, one of them is the internal management of the army. One of the internal management tasks is to fold the quilt into tofu blocks.
In a company, each officer and soldier must have the same daily necessities such as sheets, quilts, wash basins, toothbrush tubs, etc., and they must be placed neatly and uniformly.
Of course, the quilt must be square. In order to cultivate the organizational discipline of the officers and soldiers, folding the quilt after getting up every morning and returning from exercise has become a compulsory course for the officers and soldiers.
Year after year, day after day, we have cultivated a high degree of consciousness and organizational discipline in our officers and soldiers, so that they can give orders in emergencies, be fully armed, and be able to pull out, follow up, and fight. Gotta win. "
“Second, folding quilts can cultivate a strong style of officers and soldiers.
As the saying goes, watching the housework at home, watching the queues when going out, and tidying up the housework by folding quilts every day can cultivate a soldier's good habit of loving cleanliness and not leaving things around, and develop good living habits and work style. "
“Third, it is to strengthen the regularization of the army.
Strengthening the revolutionization, regularization, and modernization of the army involves all aspects of the construction of the army, and folding quilts is one of the important tasks in the regularization of the army.
Only when housekeeping is formalized can officers and soldiers develop a strong style of work. Only with a strong style of work can they form effective combat effectiveness in daily training and handling various emergencies, and achieve the goal of using me in the first battle and winning with me. "
The squad leader said so much in one breath that he felt a little thirsty. "Deputy monitor, go get my water glass. I'm a little thirsty."
After the deputy squad leader left, the first squad leader asked Li Xiang and Gao Jie again: "Li Xiang, Gao Jie, do you two understand now why we have to make quilts every day?"
After listening to the squad leader's explanation, Li Xiang and Gao Jie suddenly understood, and then they looked at each other and smiled. It turns out that it is just a small thing like folding a quilt, but it can reflect so many great principles.
