"All the soldiers of the third squad come out." The company commander ordered the soldiers of the third squad.
Obviously, in this run, the third class was last, and it was inevitable to receive punishment.
"I said that the person who is ranked last must be punished. All members of your third class will do 300 push-ups for me."
The company commander made a slip of the tongue and said two hundred instead of three hundred. When he heard that he had to do 300 push-ups, the third squad leader immediately stood up and spoke.
"Company Commander, did you remember correctly? I just remembered that you were talking about two hundred push-ups. Besides, after finishing three hundred push-ups, everyone will not be able to pick up chopsticks after breakfast." The third squad leader I want to intercede for the brothers in my class.
"Third squad leader, do you still have the face to say, is three hundred push-ups too much? If it is more, add one hundred more and do four hundred push-ups." The company commander hated it when someone bargained with him, so he immediately added another hundred push-ups. . "Li Xiang, you are responsible for counting and supervising the third class to complete four hundred push-ups. Remember, no one is missing. After the third class is finished, come and report to me."
Because Li Xiang performed well, the company commander remembered Li Xiang's name.
"Yes, company commander."
After receiving the order, Li Xiang immediately stood at the front of the team, preparing to count for class three.
"Now, the third class will stay and continue doing push-ups, and the others will disperse."
After the company commander gave the order, all the officers and soldiers of the company left. Only Li Xiang and the veterans of the third class were left on the playground. At this time, all the veterans of Class Three gave Li Xiang a vicious look, then got down and started doing push-ups. If it hadn't been for the arrival of these new recruits, they would not have suffered such a punishment.
"Class leaders, can we start?" Li Xiang politely asked the veterans of Class Three.
"Let's get started." The monitor of Class Three said coldly.
"One, two, three,..., one hundred and two, one hundred and two."
Li Xiang counted meticulously. Whenever he found that any veteran missed one, Li Xiang would stop and count again.
"Hey! That new recruit, please don't be so serious, okay? The company commander isn't here anyway. As long as you don't tell me and I don't tell you, the company commander won't know that we did a few less push-ups. You keep counting the numbers again and again. , when can we finish it?"
Seeing Li Xiang's serious look, Xiao Yong from Class 3 became a little unhappy and stood up directly to talk to Li Xiang.
"The company commander said, it won't be enough if one person is missing."
In Li Xiang's dictionary, the word "favoritism and malpractice" has never been found.
"Hey! You're a new recruit, why are you so disrespectful?"
Seeing that Li Xiang was not given any face, Xiao Yong, a veteran of Class 3, was very angry and looked at Li Xiang with a ferocious face.
"If it doesn't work, it won't work. Unless the company commander says you can stop doing it, otherwise, I will tell the company commander to go ahead."
Li Xiang is not afraid of the threats from veterans.
"Okay, your name is Li Xiang, right? I'll remember you. Don't regret it when the time comes." Xiao Yong pointed at Li Xiang and said.
Seeing that Xiao Yong was about to fight with Li Xiang, the third squad leader immediately stood up and ordered Xiao Yong: "Okay, Xiao Yong, stop talking, get down and do push-ups seriously."
"Li Xiang, keep counting." The third squad leader then said to Li Xiang.
After finally finishing four hundred push-ups, Li Xiang turned around and left the playground, while all the veterans of the third class lay on the ground panting, their arms trembling constantly. Looking at Li Xiang's leaving figure, the veterans of Class Three were full of resentment towards Li Xiang. This new recruit was so disrespectful.
…
After breakfast, on the way back to the dormitory, Xiao Yong, a veteran of the third class, took the initiative to catch up with Lu Gang and whispered in Lu Gang's ear: "Lu Gang, are you free? Let's go smoke a cigarette together."
Lu Gang turned around and saw that it was his fellow countryman Xiao Yong, and nodded in agreement.
"Then let's go."
Afterwards, the two came to a deserted place, lit a cigarette and enjoyed the beautiful moment after the meal.
"Lu Gang, that new recruit in your class is really shameless. He doesn't know how high the sky is and how high he is. He doesn't take us veterans seriously at all."
The two were smoking and chatting.
"You're talking about Li Xiang, right? I can't stand him. What's wrong? Has he provoked you?" Lu Gang asked with a smile.
"It's not about running this morning. Do you know? The company commander asked our third class to do 400 push-ups, and that's all he said. Tell me, who can do these 400 push-ups? Besides, Well, the company commander was not around at the time, so I just asked Li Xiang to do a few, and don't take it so seriously. But he was nice, and didn't give me any face. He had to let our third class finish 400 push-ups, and our class only needed If a person misses one, he has to count it again. Originally, it was only four hundred push-ups, but it was forced to do five hundred. Do you think this recruit is too shameful?"
"Haha, it's indeed a bit outrageous."
Lu Gang nodded.
"Also, this guy seems to be in pretty good physical condition. I think our company commander likes him quite a lot. Lu Gang, if you can't find a way to punish him and make him be more honest. I see, your status as the first brother in our company is terrible. There is no guarantee." Xiao Yong shifted his attention to Lu Gang.
Lu Gang thought about Xiao Yong's words for a moment, and it seemed like that was the case.
"Also, if you can help our third class subdue Li Xiang this time, I can guarantee that the veterans of our third class will fully support you in the next class cadre election, because now, our third class All the veterans in the class are very angry with Li Xiang." Xiao Yong continued to increase his intensity.
Upon hearing this temptation, Lu Gang immediately asked Xiang Xiao Yong, "Well, yes, he should be punished, but how should I punish him?"
Lu Gang is a straight-tempered man, and he has no idea at all about how to discipline others.
"Hey! This is not simple. Is Li Xiang just a new recruit? Is it the tradition of our army that recruits should respect veterans?"
Xiao Yong asked Lu Gang, and Lu Gang kept nodding.
"Then, you find something for this new recruit Li Xiang to do, such as going to the cafeteria to get food, turning on the water, cleaning the dormitory, etc. If he doesn't do it, you say this to him."
Immediately, Xiao Yong came to Lu Gang's ear, whispered a few words, and gave Lu Gang some guidance.
"Well, you're right. I will definitely make this guy Li Xiang docile later." Lu Gang nodded.
After Lu Gang returned to the dormitory, Lu Gang had already remembered what Xiao Yong had just said. Besides, Li Xiang, a new recruit, wanted to show him off, as he might endanger his position as the number one brother in the company in the future.
…
After dinner that night, Lu Gang put his bowls and chopsticks directly in front of Li Xiang without saying a word.
"That new recruit, I have something to do today. After dinner, you can wash my dishes and chopsticks together."
When Lu Gang spoke, his eyes showed disdain and his tone was stiff. The veterans in the first class were stunned at first, but soon understood what Lu Gang meant, which was to give Li Xiang some color. Immediately afterwards, all the veterans in the first class followed Lu Gang's example and took their dishes and chopsticks to Li Xiang's table and asked Li Xiang to help them wash the dishes.
"I have something to do too, Li Xiang, please wash my dishes and chopsticks too."
"Me too."
…
Seeing the piles of dishes and chopsticks in front of him, deputy squad leader Wang Ming was about to stand up and stop them, but the veterans had already quickly left the canteen. Later, the deputy squad leader Wang Ming comforted Li Xiang and said: "Li Xiang, you don't have to worry about these veterans. If you don't want to help them wash the dishes, just put the dishes and chopsticks of these veterans aside. I will inform them later." Come and wash."
"Deputy squad leader, let's forget it. I'll just help them. Besides, I'm a new recruit. I should work more. There are still many things I need to ask you veteran comrades for advice. I also hope Build a good relationship with them, after all, we are all comrades in the same class." Li Xiang said very modestly.
Deputy squad leader Wang Ming patted Li Xiang on the shoulder and was very pleased with Li Xiang's attitude. For the sake of unity in the class, Wang Ming acquiesced to Li Xiang's approach.
After Li Xiang washed the dishes and chopsticks for everyone in the class, placed them in fixed places in the cafeteria, and then returned to the dormitory.
