Chapter 5 Old Pao

"Brothers, I have found out everything."

"Anan, what did you find out clearly?"

"Tell me carefully."

······

Take a break at noon.

Xiwa and Xiaozhuang were practicing parallel bars on the playground when Lu Nan came over with a mysterious look on his face, chewing gum in his mouth, looking like a bitch.

Lu Nan took out two sticks of chewing gum from his pocket and handed them to them. Lu Nan glanced at the few recruits who were undergoing additional training around him, then put his arms around their shoulders and brought them together.

Lu Nan said softly: "There is a squad leader in the second company of new recruits. He is my fellow countryman. I bought two packs of Hongtashan to help him establish relationships. What you, my fellow countrymen, told me is about the old cannon."

"Say it!" Xiaozhuang asked eagerly.

"Lao Pao's class is the model class for the whole regiment every year, and so far, no one has escaped from Lao Pao's clutches, and they have to surrender to him. Also, Lao Pao has class sentiments and has no food to eat at home.

Just become a soldier."

"What do you mean?" Xiwa was confused.

Xiaozhuang said dullly: "I just don't like urban soldiers. I will kill them when I encounter them."

"How could this be?"

"Psychological rebelliousness, you don't know."

Lu Nan then said: "And Wang Xiaoya, do you know where he went?"

"Hey!" Xiaozhuang asked back: "If you don't tell me, I will almost forget about him. Where is Wang Xiaoya now?"

"I was discharged from the army because I was physically unqualified."

Xiwa's face changed when he heard this: "Why did you quit the army? You can have food and clothing as a soldier, and you can still have face when you return to the village. Such a good thing, why did he quit the army? If I quit the army, my parents would probably beat me to death."

"

For rural soldiers like Xiwa, they have food, clothing, and a monthly allowance of 20 yuan, and the regional government will also distribute rice and oil to their families. This is also the case for working in cities due to various policy reasons.

For rural youth who are struggling, becoming a soldier is indeed a rare and good option.

"Hi."

Lu Nan held the parallel bars and said: "We can't care about other people's affairs. I ran ten kilometers yesterday afternoon. In the evening, I was led by Lao Pao to study the internal affairs regulations. I have to continue in the evening. Tomorrow, even the political officials will come to class. Lao Pao

Pao said that let us speak enthusiastically.

In particular, we have a college student in Class 8 who has a high level of education. I would like to know how you, a college student, inspires our interest in learning."

Xiaozhuang smiled. He really has no pressure on running, and he has no pressure on studying. Everyone has a meal for the veteran. The recruits ran two kilometers on the first day of the class, and the veteran ran five kilometers for five kilometers, with a fixed eight-mile limit every day.

Kilometers are immovable unless it thunders and rains.

"Right!"

Xiaozhuang suddenly asked: "When the new recruits come for inspection, the money is handed over for safekeeping. Where did you get the money to buy cigarettes and bribe your fellow villagers?"

Lu Nan chuckled: "The platoon leader is also my fellow countryman."

"What nonsense."

"Hey hey hey~~~"

Lu Nan turned to look at the recruits around him. A group of people were chatting and laughing. He subconsciously pretended to have a poker face. When he came to his senses, he realized that he was also a recruit.

Next door to the training ground is the family home of the regiment headquarters. Several women walked out of the balcony upstairs. The recruits present immediately stopped smiling and began to grind hard. The family members upstairs were probably used to this annual 'scenery', smiling kindly.

Laughed.

······

In the afternoon, the day’s training ends.

After taking a shower, Lu Nan walked towards the dormitory with the washbasin in hand, and met Lao Pao head-on.

There was a smile that couldn't be wiped off the corners of Lao Pao's mouth, and he didn't know what he was enjoying.

Lu Nan stood at attention with a washbasin in hand: "Hello, monitor!"

"Um."

"The squad leader is welcome to come and inspect the housekeeping work."

Lu Nan spoke loudly to inform the people in the room. He noticed that the old Pao who had come over had a bad look on his face. As an old scout, he was well aware of Lu Nan's frivolous nature.

When I walked into the dormitory with Lao Pao, everyone in the room put down their things, stood at attention, and saluted Lao Pao.

"Hello, monitor."

"Um."

Lao Pao looked at the people in the room, walked around the personal belongings table twice, picked up Xiwa's "The King of Soldiers" novel on the table, opened it, and then put it down again.

"A group of bear men still want to be the king of soldiers. Their courage is commendable. Whose?"

Xiwa stood at attention and saluted and said: "Report to the monitor, it's mine. But Anan said he liked to read it, so I lent him the book. If you want to read it, ask Anan."

Lu Nan, who was standing at the door, had a face as green as a fly, Hi baby! Hi baby! Why are you so naive? The conscience of heaven and earth touched two pages of the book and studied the internal affairs regulations every day.

Hearing this, Lao Pao turned his head and looked at Lu Nan: "Do you like reading this book?"

"It's just a way to kill time in my spare time. I don't say I like it much."

"I want to be the king of soldiers..."

Lao Pao was silent for a moment and suddenly shouted: "Since you want to be a soldier king, you must have the spirit of never being discouraged and a rock-solid courage! Since you want to be a soldier king so much, then I will give you a way to show yourself

A chance for spirit and courage!”

Xiwa's face turned red: "Report to the monitor, I want to participate!"

In the dormitory, Xiwa signed up enthusiastically. Lao Pao glanced at Xiao Zhuang, who puffed up his chest to show that he would not give up. Lao Pao nodded happily.

"Report to the squad leader..."

"Monitor~~~"

"······"

The dormitory was filled with excitement. In terms of mobilization ability, as the backbone of the army, the veteran's ability was undoubted. Then he turned his attention to Lu Nan. Lu Nan scratched his head. He couldn't hold back the class.

"Monitor, count me in."

"good!"

For the first time, a heartfelt smile appeared on Lao Pao's serious face.

Ten minutes later.

Lu Nan raised his head and looked at the warm sun that was about to set in the sky. He tightened the labor protection gloves on his hands, lowered his head and sighed. The comrades around him looked at Lao Pao in confusion.

The toilet in the family building next door was clogged because there was too much debris in the sewage tank and it needed to be cleaned.

As luck would have it, Lao Pao was passing by for some reason, so he volunteered to take over the job of cleaning the sewage tank.

Lao Pao is a veteran in the eyes of the general public and an old squad leader with a military style. When the recruits in the eighth squad had no idea what to do, he had already put on his labor protection gloves and pulled up the cement board on the sewage tank.

The female comrades of the family members stood aside and laughed and laughed. They verbally praised Class 8 for their willingness to take the job. They never stopped praising them and never stopped smiling.

Pulling up the cement board, Lao Pao began to assign work.

Class 8 was divided into two groups. One group salvaged debris from the sewage tank, and the other group used washbasins to spread pots of sewage into the small vegetable garden and roadside green belt not far away.

The sewage tank has three sections, one is the sewage tank, the other is the sewage tank, and the first is the sedimentation tank.

"Are you scared?" Lao Pao lectured the new recruits who had volunteered just now but were now languid.

Lu Nan raised his head and glanced up, then poked the connecting pipe with a bamboo pole. Xiaozhuang's face was cold, Lao Pao was digging manure. He didn't want to give in now, so he scooped up a basin of green soup with his own washbasin.

According to the request of the eldest sister of the family, I poured it into the vegetable garden.

The one who worked the hardest was Xiwa, who enjoyed ladling pots of mung bean soup, three or four of them on her own.

I don’t know whether Lao Pao did it on purpose or not, but he took three washbasins conveniently, and the washbasins of Lu Nan, Xiaozhuang, and Xiwa were not able to escape.

Xiaozhuang saw Lu Nan poking with a bamboo pole, so he walked over and said confidently: "The sewage tank is blocked, usually at the slag outlet of the sewage tank.

If you poke at the second section of the sedimentation tank, it won't come out overnight. So you need to clear the first section of the sewage tank. If you see that the sewage inlet of the sewage tank is not discharging sewage, then the pipe connecting to the family building must be blocked."

Lu Nan, who was poking the bamboo pole with water stains on his face, slapped his head and immediately reported the matter to Lao Pao. Lao Pao, who was holding Lu Nan's basin to dig out feces, was stunned and looked at the small village carefully.

I was so focused on digging manure and accepting praise from my family that I even forgot about common sense issues.
Chapter completed!
