Author: There is a detective

On the first night in the new barracks, Lu Nan only had dry rice, fragrant braised pork with fried sugar color, and there was absolutely no adequate amount of potatoes, taro or anything like that.

After eating a bowl full of braised pork, I started to make the bed, sort out my personal belongings, and place daily necessities together according to rules.

I took a cold shower with Xiwa and walked out of the bathroom carrying a basin, only to see Lao Pao passing by carrying a basin of hot water.

Lu Nan hurriedly threw the washbasin to Xiwa and reached out to catch Lao Pao's washbasin: "Squad leader, how can this be so embarrassing? In my hometown, I heard from veterans who came from the war years that the squad leader would give the soldiers hot water to wash their feet.

, I didn’t expect it to be true.

Just say it’s better to be in the army. The lyrics are like, ‘The squad leader is our old father~~~’, comrades, don’t you think so?”

"Yes!" When the surrounding recruits replied, they were eagerly looking for their squad leader.

I don’t know why, but there was no hot water at all when I took a shower. I took the basin to the faucet to get a basin of water, but the water was gone before my hair was wet, let alone the hot water for soaking my feet.

Xiwa came over and asked, "Does this song exist?"

"······"

"Monitor, I don't need it."

Lu Nan grabbed the basin and said, "You'd better give the hot water to the comrades in need, especially Wang Xiaoya. He was weak and fell down before running two laps."

Lao Pao didn't say a word. He gritted his teeth and walked into the recruits' dormitory. In full view of everyone, he personally washed the feet of Wang Xiaoya who was resting on the bed. Lu Nan was hiding in the corner and snickering. Suddenly, someone tugged at his clothes.

I looked back and saw that it was Xiaozhuang.

Xiaozhuang looked at Lao Pao who was washing Wang Xiaoya's feet and said softly: "You have a grudge against him, aren't you afraid that he will take revenge on you?"

Lu Nan said: "I'm here to help him connect with the new recruits. The squad leader didn't even have time to thank me. How could he possibly retaliate against me? You were the best runner on the playground before. Let's get to know each other?"

"What do you call it?"

"Lunan, the south of southeast, northwest and northwest."

Xiaozhuang turned sideways and said, "Zhuang Yan, Sanhuo Yan."

After a farce, in front of many new recruits, Old Pao, who was holding foot-washing water, had been elevated from the unsmiling and cold-faced King of Hell to the honest and honest old squad leader who was not good at words.

······

The next day.

After the formation was assembled, breakfast had not been eaten yet. According to the old rules, I had to wake up first and go to the playground to run a few laps.

After running a few laps, everyone was gasping for air from exhaustion. Lu Nan was also panting. Others were panting because their legs were weak because they hadn't digested the run yesterday. But he was panting to satisfy the veteran.

Lu Nan turned his head slightly and said to Xiaozhuang: "Brother, take a breath or you won't even have breakfast."

"I can still run." Xiaozhuang and Lao Pao were on par.

"Don't mess with veterans, brother, I advise you from the bottom of my heart. If you want to fight for a long time, you must first preserve your personal strength, and then take it by surprise and attack it unprepared. Only in this way can you win with one blow."

Xiaozhuang quite agrees with this: "In physical training, I can outrun him."

"I support you."

"Left and right left~~~left and right left~~~"

Lao Pao raised his head and looked at the team: "Who is talking? Run two extra laps!"

Hearing the extra run, Lu Nan sighed, there was nothing he could do.

After running two more laps, Lao Pao saw that Xiaozhuang, who was the most irritated, was also gasping for air. Then he called in the troops and went back to tidy up the housework and have breakfast.

After breakfast, Lao Pao led others to practice military postures. Without any instructions, they stood at attention for half an hour, then turned to the right and continued standing.

While standing in a military posture, he talked about the essentials and norms, and corrected other recruits in the class from time to time. He also set an example and accompanied everyone to practice with extremely standardized postures.

"Are you tired?"

Lao Pao said: "When you are tired, give in and admit that you are not a good soldier."

No one answered his question. Everyone in the recruit class was gritting their teeth and persisting. The class next door started to take a five-minute break after practicing for half an hour, and the practice would not repeat the same action all the time. Lao Pao was the most unique in the recruit camp.

There is no such thing as a solo monitor.

Stand at attention, turn to the right, take a break, stand at attention, repeat.

‘Bang——’

Wang Xiaoya, who was the thinnest, fell to the ground and fell unconscious. He was quickly carried to the medical room for treatment.

Lu Nan couldn't figure out why such a person could pass the physical examination, but he was sure of one thing. After the new military camp, Wang Xiaoya would definitely be sent to the cooking class to raise pigs, or else she would work as a clerk in some agency.

In this society where high school graduation is considered a high diploma, a group of recruits from elementary school and junior high school would be surprised if they can work as government officials. Xiaozhuang is an exception. He is studying in the directing department of a top university in the country, and he is not among the 10,000 recruits.

There must be one.

It started to rain lightly in the sky. It was already late autumn, and the slightest drizzle made me feel chilly.

Lu Nan couldn't help but sneeze: "Ah~~~"

"Who sneezed?"

"Report! It's me." Lu Nan raised his hand and said.

Lao Pao stared at him and said, "What are you doing with your hands? Is it honorable?"

"I'm afraid, squad leader, you may misunderstand me as another comrade."

"Can't I see?"

Lu Nan curled his lips and said, OK, OK, whatever you say makes sense. With Lao Pao as the squad leader, Lu Nan didn't know whether to call him lucky or unlucky.

"I was the wrong monitor."

Lao Pao said: "Did I call you? Let's all practice for five more minutes."

As soon as these words came out, the team remained silent, no one dared to cry, otherwise they would have to practice more.

Xiwa was quite annoyed: "Anan, don't mess with the squad leader, we are the ones who are unlucky."

Xiaozhuang on the side gritted his teeth angrily: "This is simply unreasonable. This is corporal punishment and torture."

Lu Nan clicked his tongue, it was Xiaozhuang who looked at the problem profoundly. Compared with Xiwa, he needed ideological education. The old hammer man would be punished by the group if he sneezed, regardless of the reason. Is it possible that other people would not sneeze?

?

Then Xiaozhuang said softly: "Now I can see that Anan, you are a born veteran. There are many words and sounds in your family to convince you, right?"

"fart!"

Lu Nan retorted: "This is the military education and training, what kind of confusion? And you are not allowed to whisper in the queue!"

······

"All Class 8 assemble!"

The drizzle in the sky and the bone-chilling chill made everyone in the recruit class feel cold unconsciously. The rain was an exception, and it was also God's favor for the recruits, who had basically never received formal military physical training.

New recruits cannot last long under training.

For the health of the new recruits, Lao Pao ended his military posture training and switched to housekeeping.

Lu Nan’s experience is that it doesn’t matter if you fail in military training in the recruit camp. If you don’t learn internal affairs well, you will basically not have a good life after you get down from the company. Don’t fawn over the veterans. The soldiers you used to get along with are the same year soldiers. You haven’t established a good relationship with them. Wait.

Someone was wearing small shoes behind her back.

Housekeeping is a complex and tedious training, and the veteran is unique in his high demands and strictness, especially when it comes to folding quilts. New recruits have difficulties when facing veteran quilts that are like tofu chunks.

Lu Nan, on the other hand, didn't have much to do. He folded three points, buckled seven points, and used his fingers to make edges and corners. While Deng Sanpao was still dancing around explaining the essentials of quilt folding and demonstrating, Lu Nan had already folded a tofu block roughly.

"Lu Nan, you've done a good job in housekeeping!" Lao Pao subconsciously narrowed his left eye and looked at him.

Lu Nan touched his head: "The main reason is that you explained it well, squad leader. According to the essentials and methods you mentioned, it is really effective. Everyone should pay attention to the essentials explained by the squad leader."

"Everyone, listen carefully!"

Everyone else in the recruit class cast envious glances at Lu Nan. Is it difficult to fold a quilt? The veteran’s quilt already had fold marks after repeated folding for a long time. Why is it that the veteran’s quilt is better than that of the recruits? Isn’t it accumulated over time?

Made.

If you really can't fold it well, use a small bench to press it, and dip your fingers in some water to draw out the edges. Of course, you can't do this in front of Deng Sanpao, otherwise it will be a torture. How can you dance in front of Guan Gong with a broadsword?

After folding the quilt for two hours, Deng Sanpao began to teach the new recruits how to pack their marching rucksacks and learn internal affairs regulations.

While the recruits were learning internal affairs regulations, Deng Sanpao began to look around in the dormitory alone, not knowing what he was looking for.

Suddenly, Deng Sanpao found two cigarettes in the small crack outside the window and sighed: "Hey, Hongta Mountain."

"Ahem~~~"

Lu Nan coughed. He even secretly brought cigarettes to the recruit camp. He really didn't want to live his life anymore. It's okay to smoke secretly without getting caught after joining the company. Smoking in the recruit camp was just because he felt too comfortable.

"Is there something wrong with your throat?" Deng Sanpao turned to ask.

"Maybe it just rained a little."

"Want me to take you to the infirmary?"

Lu Nan waved his hand: "It's okay, just drink some hot water."
