After finally staying up until the end of training, Xiaopang quickly went to the phone booth and dialed his home phone number.
"Mom, I want to go home."
Xiaopang couldn't help crying to his mother about his grievances. Because Xiaopang is too young, his mind is still very fragile.
"Son, what's wrong? Tell mom, is someone bullying you?"
The mother on the other end of the phone was heartbroken when she heard the cry, and quickly asked her son anxiously what happened.
"Mom, they all bullied me. They said behind my back that I wet the bed."
Hearing this, Xiaopang's mother understood the reason for Xiaopang's grievance and hurriedly comforted him.
"Son, it turns out you wet the bed. It's okay. If they are talking about you behind your back, just let them talk. Even if they say it, you won't lose a piece of flesh."
"Mom, but the training in the army is too hard. I have to run, do push-ups, and stand in a military posture every day. I can't stand this kind of training at all. I don't want to stay in the army anymore. I want to go home, wuwuwu..."
Hearing her son crying so sadly on the other end of the phone, Xiaochuang's mother thought for a moment and said to her son: "Son, if you really don't want to stay in the army, then come back."
Xiaopang's parents are both illiterate and do not understand the army's regulations. Soldiers are not allowed to flee the army privately.
"Well, Mom, I understand."
Xiaopang hung up the phone, wiped the tears off his face, then returned to the dormitory, sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze gloomily.
"Little Fatty, you haven't participated in training in the past few days. Some training subjects have become out of touch. In a moment, I will ask the deputy squad leader to take you to an overtime class to make up for all the subjects that have been out of touch in the past few days."
The squad leader saw Xiaopang sitting and resting in the dormitory, so he came over and assigned Xiaopang tasks. Regarding the arrangement of the squad leader, Xiaopang had a bitter look on his face, but he had no way to refuse and could only nod in agreement.
"Vice monitor."
The squad leader gave orders to the deputy squad leader.
"arrive."
Upon hearing the order, the deputy squad leader responded immediately.
"Now take Xiaopang to the training ground and help him catch up on the subjects that he has been disconnected from recently."
"yes."
At this time, after hearing the conversation between the first squad leader and the deputy squad leader, Li Xiang also jumped out of bed and ran to the deputy squad leader.
"Vice squad leader, I will also train with you."
Originally, one day of training was tiring enough, but Li Xiang actually asked for more training. The deputy squad leader thought Li Xiang was joking with him. But when he looked up at Li Xiang, he didn't look like he was joking, so he nodded in agreement. Anyway, having one more person training can actually improve the atmosphere of the training ground.
"Well, let's go."
The three of them came to the equipment training ground together.
"Li Xiang, come and show Xiaopang the essentials of pull-ups."
"Yes, deputy monitor."
Li Xiang is very willing to show off. At the same time, he is also the only person in the entire company who can do more than 100 pull-ups.
Standing under the horizontal bar, Li Xiang moved his body briefly, then took a deep breath, and after a simple jumping movement, he grabbed the horizontal bar with both hands.
"Little Fatty, did you see that the upper bar movement must be standard? When pulling the horizontal bar, your chin must exceed the horizontal bar to be considered qualified."
Li Xiang was in charge of demonstrating the movements, and the deputy squad leader stood beside him and explained to Xiaopang. However, although Xiaopang was watching Li Xiang's demonstration with his eyes, his thoughts were not here.
"Okay, Fatty, come and try a move." After finishing the demonstration, Li Xiang said to Fatty.
"Huh?..., oh."
Xiaopang was in a daze, and it took him a long time to react.
Walking under the horizontal bar, Little Fatty imitated Li Xiang's example and moved his body. However, Little Fatty didn't pay attention to Li Xiang's demonstration and had already forgotten all about it at this moment.
After completing the preparations, Xiaopang jumped on the horizontal bar, grabbed the horizontal bar with both hands, and tried to pull up. But to his surprise, he just pulled one and it immediately fell down and sat on the ground.
"Ouch!"
The deputy squad leader hurriedly stepped forward to help Little Fatty up, and then asked about the situation: "Little Fatty, what's going on? Why did he fall down?"
"Vice squad leader, I can't hold on to this horizontal bar."
Little Fatty complained endlessly.
"Little Fatty, you can't do this. As soon as the recruit company ends, the pull-up must be tested. You can't even grab the horizontal bar now, which means your arm strength is not enough. Let's do this. I will practice hanging with you. Come on, work on your arm strength first."
Li Xiang is very concerned about Xiaopang's training results. After all, we are all fellow villagers.
"Yes, I agree with Li Xiang's suggestion, Xiaopang, come on, let's exercise with Li Xiang on the hanging bar."
The deputy squad leader was worrying about how to improve Xiaopang's arm strength, and Li Xiang happened to give him a good suggestion. As for Xiaopang, he originally wanted to find a reason to avoid training, but now, Li Xiang's suggestion made it difficult for him to get off the bar, so he had no choice but to hang with Li Xiang.
"One, two, three, start."
Li Xiang and Xiaopang jumped on the horizontal bar together, then grabbed the horizontal bar with both hands and did not let go, just hanging there.
"Very well, I'll give you both a timer to see who can last longer."
The deputy monitor first praised Xiaopang, then took the watch in his hand and calculated the starting time on the watch.
"That's right, I've been holding on for two minutes, little fat guy, come on!"
The deputy monitor knew that Li Xiang could persist for any length of time, so he just kept encouraging Xiaopang. After being encouraged, Xiaopang seemed to have a little more strength, but soon, the strength disappeared again. Before he could hold on for a while, Xiaopang's face was already flushed.
Three minutes later, Xiaopang couldn't hold on any longer, so he let go of his hand, fell to the ground, and sat down on the ground unable to get up.
"Deputy squad leader, I can't survive. I really can't hang myself anymore." Xiaopang called out breathlessly.
"Little Fatty, get up quickly and hold on to the bar for a while. Look at Li Xiang, he has been training all day today, and he will accompany you to practice the horizontal bar in the evening. You should learn more from Li Xiang, Little Fatty."
The deputy squad leader pointed at Li Xiang who was hanging on the horizontal bar. He saw that Li Xiang's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he continued to hang on the horizontal bar calmly. He could occasionally pull up a few pull-ups to move his body.
"Deputy squad leader, please don't compare me with Brother Xiang. Brother Xiang's physical fitness is not matched by many in the company."
Xiaopang rolled his eyes at the deputy squad leader's remarks.
"Even if you don't compete with Li Xiang, you still have to practice this horizontal bar. At least twelve pull-ups are the passing mark during the assessment. It seems that you haven't done any pull-ups yet."
Seeing that Fatty could not be persuaded, the deputy squad leader simply walked to Fatty himself and directly started to pull Fatty up. Unexpectedly, the little fat man acted like a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water. He hugged the bracket of the horizontal bar tightly and refused to let go.
"Deputy squad leader, I really can't practice anymore, please spare me."
There was no other way, so the deputy monitor had no choice but to let go and no longer forced Xiaopang to practice the horizontal bar.
"Li Xiang, you'd better come down here. That's it for tonight's overtime training. Let's go back."
"What? Are you going back so soon? I just moved my body a little bit."
Li Xiang, who was still on the horizontal bar, looked at the deputy squad leader in disbelief, but when he saw the fat man sitting on the ground, Li Xiang knew the reason.
"Little Fatty said he can't practice anymore." The deputy squad leader pointed helplessly at Little Fatty sitting on the ground.
"Yes, Brother Xiang, please spare me. I really can't practice anymore. Let's just finish it tonight." Xiaopang continued what the deputy squad leader said.
Li Xiang saw that the fat boy was begging for mercy, and thought that he really had no strength left, so he had to follow the deputy squad leader back to the dormitory.
