On the morning of New Year's Eve, Li Xiang came back from going to the toilet. When he passed by the entrance of the cafeteria, he found that the floor of the cafeteria was full of good meat and vegetables. He immediately ran back to his dormitory to share the good news with everyone.
"Comrades, we can have a hearty meal today. The cooking team has brought a lot of delicious food, including lamb legs, lobsters, and various seafood. They are all delicious dishes and meat."
"Really? You're not kidding me."
Gao Jie didn't believe himself, because in normal times, the dishes brought by the cooking team, except for radishes, vermicelli, and Chinese cabbage, contained very little meat. But today, so many good dishes were brought to the cooking class. It was like the sun was coming out from the west.
"It's true. I saw it with my own eyes. If you don't believe it, you can go and have a look."
Gao Jie was about to go over to the cooking class to take a look, when the squad leader walked into the dormitory.
"Squad leader, I heard that the cooking team brought over a lot of delicious dishes. Is this true?"
Gao Jie knew that the squad leader would never tell lies.
"Well, yes." The squad leader continued: "By the way, the cooking class needs someone to help cook today. Which of you is willing to go?"
"Help the cook?"
This is the first time Li Xiang heard the term helper.
"What kind of activity is helping in the kitchen?"
"I just go to the cooking class and help the veterans in the cooking class do some work of picking, washing and cutting vegetables." explained the first squad leader.
"I'm going."
"I also need to go."
…
When they heard about this good job, everyone raised their hands and were willing to help cook in the cooking class and take a look at what delicious hard dishes are available today.
"It's definitely not possible to go all of them. Our class has other tasks and we also need manpower. Let's do this. This time, just you two, Li Xiang and Li Erniu, will go. Later, we will take turns to arrange for others to help in the cooking class."
After hearing the squad leader's arrangement, the others had no choice but to leave disappointed, but Li Xiang and Li Erniu were very happy.
"Deputy squad leader, take the two of you to the cafeteria and teach them what to do." The first squad leader arranged work for the deputy squad leader.
"Yes, monitor."
The deputy squad leader took the order and then took Li Xiang and Li Erniu to the cooking class.
"Gululu!"
As soon as he entered the door, Li Erniu saw that the floor was filled with good food and meat. His stomach suddenly made an unsatisfactory sound, and at the same time, his saliva flowed out.
Li Xiang looked at Li Erniu with contempt.
"Li Erniu, can you have some potential?"
"Hehehe..." Li Erniu smiled stupidly.
"Comrade veterans, this is a new recruit from our class who is here to help in the kitchen. What do you think we need to help with?" the deputy squad leader introduced to the veterans in the cooking class.
The veteran looked up at Li Xiang and Li Erniu.
"Hey, you two new recruits, come here and carry this basket of cucumbers to the sink to wash them."
Seeing the new recruits coming to help with the cooking, the veterans in the cooking class directly directed Li Xiang and Li Erniu to start working.
"Okay! Here we come."
Li Erniu and Li Xiang immediately stepped forward, lifted a basket of cucumbers and put them into the sink, and then began to wash the cucumbers with water.
Halfway through washing the cucumbers, Li Erniu stuffed a cucumber into his mouth and started eating it because he was too hungry.
"Who's eating my cucumbers?"
A fat veteran in the cooking class heard someone eating cucumbers and immediately became unhappy. He turned around to see who was eating cucumbers. At this time, Li Erniu had not finished eating the cucumber in his hand, and he still held the remaining half in his hand, so he had to admit it.
"Reporting to the squad leader, it's me, hehehe..."
Li Erniu smiled stupidly, hoping that the veteran would let him go. However, the veteran in the cooking class did not give him face. He slapped Li Erniu on the head. Then, the veteran took the cucumber from Li Erniu's hand and threw it into Li Erniu's hand. face, to insult the new recruit in front of him.
"Are cucumbers delicious?"
"Which class are you in? Who is your class monitor?"
"How did your monitor teach you that you don't have any literacy at all?"
While cursing, the veteran grabbed Li Erniu's neck and tortured him.
Li Erniu was completely irritated by the veteran's endless pestering, and he couldn't care less, so he pushed the veteran in front of him to the ground.
"Well, you're such a new recruit, it's amazing that you actually attacked LZ."
Because the veteran was too obese, after being pushed to the ground by Li Erniu, he couldn't get up for a while. Upon seeing this, Li Xiang quickly stepped forward to help the veteran up, and at the same time, he did not forget to help Li Erniu apologize to the veteran.
"Squad leader, I'm sorry, Comrade Li Erniu didn't mean it."
The veteran looked up at Li Xiang, and then said in a sinister tone: "Oh, it's not intentional, it's just intentional nagging. Don't pretend to be pretentious in front of me. I can see that you two are in the same group."
Li Xiang didn't expect that the chubby veteran in front of him was really unreasonable. No matter who he caught, he would take a bite. So, Li Xiang angrily let go of his hand, but he didn't expect that the veteran had just stood up at this time, and before he could stand firmly, he suddenly lost his support, staggered, and sat down on the ground again with a "pop".
"Ouch, are you trying to kill me? My ass has been smashed by you."
The veteran bared his teeth and groaned.
"Okay, you guys." The veteran of the cooking squad pointed at Li Xiang and Li Erniu, "Let's go and reason with the company commander. You ate cucumbers secretly and beat the veterans. I won't finish this with you today." .”
Upon hearing this, Li Xiang knew that things had become serious. I went to the company commander and he was a veteran. No matter how hard I tried to explain, it wouldn't work. then. Li Xiang quickly pulled Li Erniu and ran back to the dormitory, preparing to seek help from the squad leader.
"Is the kitchen service going to end so soon?"
Seeing Li Xiang and Li Erniu running back in a hurry with frightened expressions on their faces, the squad leader had already guessed that the two might have gotten into trouble.
"Monitor, we..."
Halfway through the words, Li Xiang didn't know how to explain it, because it was indeed Li Erniu's fault.
"Squad leader, it's like this. When I was helping the cook in the cooking class, I took a cucumber to eat because I was hungry. However, the veteran in the cooking class not only took the cucumber from my hand, but also beat me. Then I resisted, and in the process, I accidentally pushed the leader of the cooking class down."
Li Erniu knew that it was not convenient for Li Xiang to tell, so he took the initiative to confess to the squad leader.
"Later, I was going to help the veteran up, but the veteran wrongly accused me and Li Erniu of being in the same group. When I got angry, I let go of my hand, and the veteran fell to the ground again."
Li Xiang continued what Li Erniu said.
"Oh, what next? Is this over?"
The squad leader knew that there must be more difficult things waiting for him to deal with later.
"Then, the veteran in the cooking squad said he wanted to find the company commander, so we rushed back to report to you."
The first squad leader originally thought that this matter was no big deal. When the veterans from the cooking squad came to find him, he would just intercede and that would be it. But when I heard the veteran from the cooking class saying that he was going to find the company commander, I couldn't sit still. He would inevitably be scolded by the company commander.
"What? Ask the company commander, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Li Xiang and Li Erniu stared blankly at the squad leader. Didn't they just come back? They wanted to tell him earlier.
"You two, hurry up and follow me to the cooking class to apologize."
With that said, the squad leader quickly ran towards the cooking class. As long as he stopped the veterans from the cooking class before they went to the company headquarters to report, there might be a chance to avoid making the matter a big deal.
