Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

"Zhao Pengfei, what happened to you just now?"

In the company office, instructor Bi Yuan slammed the table and criticized seriously.

"How could you be so rude to a new recruit in the mess hall, in front of so many people?"

"You even put the bowl upside down on the table and made a dish called 'Indian Dumplings'. You think you're being humorous, don't you?"

"Report to the instructor, no!"

Zhao Pengfei stood at attention and accepted the instructor's criticism.

Bi Yuan snorted and said sternly, "Leading troops, especially new recruits, requires careful attention to methods and techniques. This is not ten years ago, let alone twenty years ago!"

"You need to lead your troops scientifically and civilly. You're still using the old ways, yelling and getting angry at every turn. How can that be effective?"

"Nowadays, living conditions are better, and young people have grown up in a sweet environment, which is different from what we used to do."

"It's understandable that he has some ideas and a little personality, right?"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Zhao Pengfei admitted his mistake with a good attitude, Bi Yuan didn't say anything more.

Then he turned to look at the company commander who was drinking tea and said something unhappily.

"Old Ge, this guy is your soldier. You need to give him a good word. I need to go to the fourth squad and give that soldier some psychological counseling."

"Yeah, let's go."

Ge Zhiyong quickly spat the tea leaves into the cup and waved at him.

Then he pointed at Zhao Pengfei with a serious face and scolded: "Zhao Pengfei, your problem is quite serious. How could you..."

But as soon as the instructor left, Ge Zhiyong stopped.

Then he took out a pack of Huazi from the drawer.

After opening the package, he threw one to Zhao Pengfei.

"Captain, this..."

"Don't ask, don't talk too much, just take your turn."

Zhao Pengfei was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

The instructor asked you to criticize me, and now you're treating me to a cigarette?

With a cigarette between his lips, Ge Zhiyong began to grope around his body, searching the table for a lighter.

"The instructor has his own standpoint. He's the head of the regiment, and he talks about big principles. He's different from us roughnecks. We're practical people."

"Leading soldiers, especially new recruits, is it really effective if you just rely on words?"

"Where did your lighter go just now..."

Zhao Pengfei quickly came over and lit his cigarette with his lighter.

Ge Zhiyong smiled and pointed at him with an expression that said "You are very sensible."

After exhaling a puff of smoke, he continued, "New recruits nowadays have many ideas and many problems, and are more difficult to lead than before."

"On the first day, we have to shock these guys so that we can start the rest of the work."

"You made a good start today. I saw a few upset kids from other classes, and they all calmed down immediately."

Zhao Pengfei chuckled and said, "Captain, that's all thanks to your good teaching."

Ge Zhiyong gave a matter-of-fact smile, then pointed at him while holding a cigarette.

"Hey kid, lead the troops this time and pay attention. Just make sure you get results. I'll personally submit your promotion application for you."

"Really?"

"When did I lie to you?"

"Thank you, Captain. Thank you so much!"

Zhao Pengfei's face was full of excited smiles.

He has been working diligently in the army for so many years.

And with his own efforts, he won two third-class merits in the regiment.

It can be said that he has now reached the standard for promotion from soldier to officer.

But there were too many people applying to join the group, and he could never get a number.

The company commander's words were like a reassurance to him.

But immediately afterwards, Zhao Pengfei was stunned for a moment and looked at Ge Zhiyong curiously.

"Captain, didn't you tell me a while ago that this matter would have to wait a little longer, maybe until next year? How come you suddenly changed your mind..."

Ge Zhiyong looked at him with a smile.

"Do you want to know why?"

"Yes, I really want to!"

Seeing the company commander hooking his finger at him, Zhao Pengfei immediately moved forward.

But, what I got were two words.

"Secret."

“…”

Seeing Zhao Pengfei's speechless look, Ge Zhiyong couldn't stop laughing.

But immediately afterwards, he returned to his serious demeanor.

"I've only heard about that. The specific documents haven't come down yet. I'll tell you when they're finalized."

"Remember to put on a sad face when you go back later. You still have to pretend to be nice in front of the instructor, okay?"

"Yes!"

"Get lost. Oh, and leave your lighter to me. I don't know where I put it."

“…”

Zhao Pengfei reluctantly left the lighter, saluted and walked out.

Ge Zhiyong naturally put the lighter into his pocket.

Obviously, he has done this a lot.

"Wait a minute."

"Company Commander, do you have any other instructions?" Zhao Pengfei stopped again and turned his head.

"Is there someone in your class who graduated from a martial arts school?" Ge Zhiyong flicked the ash from his cigarette and said casually.

"Yes, his name is Qi Meng."

"How about it?"

"Haha, a little arrogant, saying he wants to arm wrestle with the veteran."

Ge Zhiyong also laughed: "You're a little bit ignorant, but if you polish it well, it can also be a good piece of steel. As for the rest, is there anything special about your class?"

Zhao Pengfei thought for a moment and said, "The guy who was in a bad mood and refused to eat noodles at night comes from a well-off family. His father is a businessman and drives a Maybach."

"The most difficult thing I've ever experienced is probably drinking coffee."

"There's a guy from my hometown who looks a bit goofy. As for the others, it seems like..."

"By the way, there is a boy who is very special. I think he is very interesting."

"Interesting? And special?" Ge Zhiyong suddenly became interested.

He liked this kind of unique recruit.

They're all the same, what's the point?

Zhao Pengfei chuckled and said, "Captain, I'd like to observe for a while. Once I have a conclusion, I'll report back to you."

"You bastard, are you keeping me in suspense? Get out of here and close the door!"

"Yes!"

After Zhao Pengfei left, Ge Zhiyong put out the cigarette in the ashtray.

He took out a mobile phone from the drawer and opened WeChat chat.

Afterwards, the editor sent a message to a girl whose nickname was "Not Very Smiling".

"Are you there?"

"have you eaten?"

"Do you like plain noodles?"

......

"Instructor, I don't think I did anything wrong. That noodle just tasted terrible!"

In the corridor, Li Jiasheng complained to the instructor with a look of grievance on his face.

Bi Yuan, like an old mother, comforted her, "You really didn't do anything wrong, but this is the army, and the army has its own rules. I hope you can understand."

"The kitchen team didn't know when you would arrive, so they didn't cook at night. So this meal will be a little simple."

"If you really can't get used to it, I have two boxes of cookies. I'll give them to you later."

After hearing this, Li Jiasheng felt much better.

This is the army, we have to be reasonable.

So, he shook his head gratefully and said, "No need, instructor, I'm not hungry at all. I had a full lunch and also had some snacks on the way."

"Instructor, the things I brought were all imported from abroad, including chocolate and beef jerky, but they were all collected."

"If you like it, just go get it. The chubbyest bag in Class 4 is mine."

Bi Yuan frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with his "bribery" behavior.

Also imported snacks...

He is so spoiled, no wonder he can't get used to the noodles in the cafeteria.

"No, you can keep it for yourself later. Go to bed early tonight and have breakfast in the morning."

"If you encounter any problems later, you can come to me directly."

"Well, thank you, instructor."

After seeing the instructor off, Li Jiasheng felt very proud.

It feels like I have found a backer.

However, any new recruit in the army who has had a few words with the instructor will have this illusion.

The reason is simple. In an unfamiliar environment where you have no relatives or friends, it is easy to gain their favor as long as someone speaks for you.

However, just listen to what the instructor says and don’t take it seriously, otherwise you will definitely not end up well.

Li Jiasheng returned to the dormitory with his head held high. As soon as he sat down on the edge of the bed, he began to vent his dissatisfaction.

"We're all comrades in the same squad. Just now in the cafeteria, I saw the squad leader bullying me, and there wasn't even anyone to help and speak up for me?"

Everyone looked at him and said nothing.

Qi Meng said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "No, buddy, you are obviously asking for trouble. Whoever helps you will suffer with you."

"I was telling the truth!" Li Jiasheng immediately became unhappy when he was refuted.

"We've been singing our asses off outside, and we finally get to eat, and this is what we have to eat?"

"I've done some research online before, and the army meals consist of six dishes, one soup, and one staple food. They're clearly trying to fool us, thinking we new recruits are easy to bully, and they're trying to intimidate us!"

"I'm doing this to fight for everyone's rights. You should support me!"

Qi Meng smiled, thinking that the boy might not be very smart, and was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

Chen Sanxi felt that what Li Jiasheng said made some sense, but not much.

However, he didn't know what to say.

Others simply pretended not to hear and played deaf and dumb.

But only Qin Feng had a smile on his face, and he raised his chin slightly towards Li Jiasheng.

He looked like, "So, wasn't I being righteous just now?"

Li Jiasheng's heart skipped a beat.

He swallowed and looked away guiltily.

For some reason, he felt a little afraid of Qin Feng.

He couldn't say specifically.

I always feel that there is something wrong with this kid's aura.

Li Jiasheng had only seen this feeling in a few core veterans in his father's company.

This type of people often appear ordinary and unremarkable on the surface.

But just by chatting with you for a few minutes, he can expose your true secrets and leave nothing but your underwear.

After he sells you, you still have to count the money for him.

And at this moment, Li Jiasheng had this feeling when he looked at Qin Feng.

This is really weird.

But, maybe it was just his illusion.

After all, Qin Feng's family conditions are definitely not comparable to his.

Knowledge, thinking, and ideas are even more different.

When most young people had never even traveled far away, Li Jiasheng had already traveled abroad with his parents several times.

The depth of his life is simply incomparable to that of other people of the same age.

Just then, footsteps were heard in the corridor.

Zhao Pengfei came in from outside with his hands behind his back, holding a plastic bag.

What was inside looked like a lump, no, it was a ball of noodles.

"Take it." Zhao Pengfei directly threw the tied plastic bag to Li Jiasheng.

"There's never a tradition of leftovers in the army. No one will eat your own food for you."

"This must be resolved before tomorrow morning. This is an order, no room for bargaining!"

Looking at the swollen thing in his hand, Li Jiasheng's face turned ugly.

Earlier in the cafeteria, he was lucky enough to escape thanks to the help of the instructor.

Unexpectedly, the squad leader still insisted on holding on to him and even helped him pack the noodles and brought them back.

But Li Jiasheng learned his lesson this time and didn't dare to say anything.

Instead, he agreed obediently and threw the things into the small yellow basin under the bed.

He planned to secretly dump it out when he went to the toilet after turning off the lights, so as to get away with it.

Zhao Pengfei clapped his hands and asked everyone to gather around: "Okay, it's still early for bed. I'm going to teach you how to fold the quilt. Everyone come around."

In the army, folding blankets is an old tradition.

Even if many people have never served in the military, they have heard of tofu quilts in the army.

It is square and angular, which is really pleasing to the eye.

Qin Feng was actually quite interested in folding military quilts.

Although, in his previous life, he never had the habit of folding his quilt, and his bedroom was as messy as a doghouse.

But this did not affect him at all, and he wanted to try the experience of folding a military blanket.

Previously, he often saw many videos about folding military blankets on short video platforms.

Of course, what really attracted him was not the video itself, but the various tricks in the comment section.

What impressed Qin Feng the most was a comment titled "Retirement but not fading."

The picture below is a white square quilt, but it has the words "Foot Massage" printed on it.

I have to say that many veteran squad leaders are extremely serious on a daily basis.

But in private, they are all experts in making things happen.

At this moment, Zhao Pengfei has begun to demonstrate how to fold a military blanket.

Because there was too little space on the bed, he simply spread the quilt on the floor.

Some people with obsessive-compulsive disorder have begun to find it unacceptable.

But in fact, the army has very strict sanitation and cleaning, and the floor tiles are also wiped very clean.

Zhao Pengfei didn't say anything nonsense. He squatted on the ground and folded the quilt while explaining the techniques in detail.

"If you want to fold a quilt properly, the most important thing is to press it."

"Like me, use your arms to push forward hard, compact the cotton, smooth the quilt, and then..."

Although everyone was gathered around to watch, many of them had actually already started to slack off.

The process of folding the quilt is very boring.

Just looking at it made many people yawn.

Then, they were greeted with a scolding from Zhao Pengfei.

However, Qin Feng looked at it very seriously.

He never blinked and didn't miss any details.

Because at this moment, the system [imitation] has begun to take effect.

Like a high-precision camera, it recorded every move Zhao Pengfei made in detail...
