porridge for two

"Hurry up and wash up, and call me as soon as you get back. Hey, you're all going to get through it, we won't start until tomorrow." Xie Xiuping said in a dragged tone.

"Okay. Hurry up at noon, I'm sorry. You hang up first this time!" Su Zeyu's voice was gentle.

"Hmm! Bye!"

Xie Xiuping hung up the phone after finishing speaking, but he complained in his heart, why did the tone of his speech sound like two men and women falling in love, and the two elders would explain who hung up first.

"Jingle bell! Jingle bell! Jingle bell..."

Xie Xiuping had just hung up the phone and was about to go to bed when the phone rang again.

"Hello?" Xie Xiuping answered the phone.

"Gold?" came the voice from over there.

"Yuanyang! When I first logged on to QQ, you were not online, so I left you a message. You guys can do it, so I'll call now." Xie Xiuping said.

"I've made several calls, and the line has been busy. The phone in your dormitory is busy, haha." Gao Yuanyang smiled.

Gao Yuanyang is Xie Xiuping's high school deskmate and good friend.

"Yeah, business is busy!"

Before that, he had been using the phone all the time. Xie Xiuping couldn't say it was him. He always felt that after talking with a man on the phone for a long time, if he talked about it, would others think that he was sick in the head.

Xie Xiuping obviously realized that it was very strange for two strangers to chat so much as soon as they came, but there was nothing excessive or uncomfortable during the chatting process.

The phone was called again, and when I picked up the phone, I had already put aside these strange mentalities, and the conversation was very lively and comfortable as soon as the topic was brought up.

"How is it, your school? The dormitory, cafeteria, environment, mainly girls."

Gao Yuanyang didn't pay attention to his tone, let alone know what was going on in his heart, so he asked excitedly.

"The school is okay. The environment is okay, there are quite a lot of girls, and they are also handsome. When are you going to play?"

"Okay, look for a few water spirits, and remember to show it to your buddies when the time comes."

Gao Yuanyang always has a sunny and carefree look, and his tone is always upbeat.

After chatting for a while, Xie Xiuping hugged the pillow and rested with anticipation of tomorrow's military training.

After 9:12 pm on September 9, dormitory 305.

A few boys who had just finished self-study were soaking their feet, calling their mothers and mothers.

"My feet are blistered, what can I do?" Si Huo hummed.

"My crutches are bleeding!" Tan Aihua also muttered.

"My heel is also bleeding, and my calf hurts to death. This is the first day, brothers, hold on!" Xiao Guoqing couldn't even stand up, but he still wanted to encourage everyone.

"Everyone massage and beat the muscles and bones of the legs and hands, it may be better.

I have some medicinal wine here, rub some and massage the acupoints. It will be better after a night of sleep, and I will feel better when I wake up tomorrow morning, otherwise I am afraid that I will be sore and weak tomorrow. "

Xie Xiuping sat on the edge of the table soaking his feet, holding a glass bottle the size of a beer bottle in his hand.

Xie Xiuping's limbs were also a little sore, and the sun's scorching was even more uncomfortable.It's just that these hardships are nothing to Xie Xiuping. Don't you still have to help the family with some farm work at home?

It's just that the military training is all in accordance with the instructions of Officer J. After a long period of tossing, Xie Xiuping will inevitably have some discomfort.

Xie Xiuping poured a few drops of medicinal wine into the palm of his hand, rubbed his hands together, rubbed his shoulders, poured out another few drops, rubbed it, and rubbed his calf.

"Where the muscles and bones are uncomfortable, rub it. Rub it with your hands. It's a little hot. Rub it to promote absorption and relaxation. Avoid the bleeding place."

After Xie Xiuping finished speaking, he handed the bottle to Tan Aihua next to him.

Seeing that everyone was soaking and rubbing their feet, Xie Xiuping washed up, leaned on the head of the bed, and opened a novel to read.

"Jingle bell! Jingle bell! Jingle bell..."

the phone is ringing.The nearest Tan Aihua picked it up, gave a hello, and called Xie Xiuping, "Jin Zi, call me."

Tan Aihua was about to put the microphone on the table, but accidentally pulled his aching waist, and let out a "tsk".

It suddenly occurred to him that everyone was quite tired, even though Xie Xiuping was better than the three of them, they were still tired.

So he untied the rope that tied a large circle of telephone wires, handed the phone to Xie Xiuping, and said:

"Put the phone on top of you. We all use mobile phones, and the landlines are not very useful."

"Thank you!" Xie Xiuping took the phone, put it on the small table next to the bed, raised the microphone to his mouth and said, "Hello!"

"What are you doing? Have you washed up?" A voice came from the phone.

"I've just soaked my feet, and I'm lying on the bed." As soon as I heard the voice, I knew it was Su Zeyu.

"How? How did you feel on the first day?" Su Zeyu asked.

"It's okay. After all, we even have two officers, both of whom are very interesting people." Xie Xiuping said.

"What's the matter?" Su Zeyu was curious.

Xie Xiuping slowly talked about the funny things that happened during today's military training, listening over there, asking a few funny points from time to time, Xie Xiuping answered again, and the two chatted happily.

……

There are twelve or thirteen square teams in the huge football field, and Xie Xiuping is in the third battalion and the fifth company.

When he came to gather, he saw that there were also three square teams gathering in the small square on the other side of the cafeteria.

I don't know how many people are in the military training in the squares of this school that he didn't see. It is estimated that they will only know when they meet for inspection on the last day.

Male and female students are separated in military training, and Xie Xiuping's company is from his class and majoring in forestry, just a hundred or so people.

"Everyone stand in two lines according to height, and line up!" The little J officer told everyone to line up in two lines, and he pointed at this and that as if picking something, and said:

"You are here, you are there, you stand in the middle...you stand at the end."

Officer J commanded everyone to line up in a 10×10 square, and then said: "Everyone remember the people in front of you, around you, and Officer Zhou J will be here soon."

After the little J officer finished speaking, he watched an instructor walk over and directly entered the topic, or it was a show of authority.

I saw his fingers pointing a few times here and there and said:

"You, you, you guys, those with afro hair and dyed hair, Shamate is very arrogant! Before the assembly in the afternoon, the hair should be cut and dyed!"

As he spoke, he walked into the formation, and then said: "Everyone stretch out your hands and look at your nails, do you want to be a rake hand? It's time to cut it!"

He walked to Cheng Yi's side, buttoned Cheng Yi's coat, turned his head and said to everyone:

"Everyone, check your clothes. Are the buttons buttoned? Are the epaulets crooked? Don't roll up your sleeves and trousers.

If you have accessories, pack them yourself, or wait for me to pack them for you. "

Xie Xiuping said in his heart: "Fortunately, I did my homework before and paid attention to it. Otherwise, it would be a bit embarrassing!"

When Officer Zhou J arrived, he gave everyone a dressing class.

Then there is standing in a military posture, stepping, some are indistinguishable from left to right, some have the same hands and feet, some are sunstroked by the sun, and various situations happen.

Tired, but also a lot of fun!

The time of the military training passed day by day, and every day Su Zeyu's phone call was on time, just like the time in Officer J's hand, and the dormitory landline seemed to be Xie Xiuping's special phone.

"Our festivals are different from those in the city. If you have a chance, you can go to our hometown to experience it." Xie Xiuping leaned on the bed and talked on the phone.

"Go whenever you have time." Su Zeyu replied.

"Our New Year's Eve is also very lively, with a New Year's flavor." Xie Xiuping said.

"Hmm!" Su Zeyu replied.

"On February [-] in our day, we boiled red eggs for children to pray for good luck for them. Some adults rolled boiled red eggs into the foot of the bed and asked the children to crawl in and pick them out, which meant calling out to the soul.

Adults also use wool to weave an egg cage to hold an egg, so that children can carry it around! "Xie Xiuping said while thinking about those festivals at home.

"On April [-]th, every family takes maple leaves, dyes rice flowers, magenta and royal blue, etc., and dyes colorful flower rice.

Some even use the principle of toning to dye the glutinous rice into various colors of different shades! "

Xie Xiuping shook his head as he spoke, he admired the people who started doing these things very much, they were very talented.

"On the seventh day of the seventh month, let the Seventh Girl go, an unmarried girl will act as the Seventh Girl, and a Guoyin Grandma will act as a guide.

The guide will lead Seventh Girl into a state, as if in a fugue. The guide will sing and guide her everywhere she walks, but the time should not be too long, otherwise the soul will not come back.

It's very fantasy, at least with the knowledge I have now, I haven't figured it out yet. "Xie Xiuping said, scratching his head.

"Actor?" Su Zeyu also found it incredible.

"I've seen it a few times, and each time it's a teenage girl, some of whom are quite shy and usually don't talk much, where's their acting skills?

Besides, the procedures are similar every time, but the content is not the same. "Xie Xiuping snorted.

"Uh, psychological hint?" Su Zeyu pondered.

"If you put it that way, it's really a bit like the hypnotist on TV."

Xie Xiuping smiled, feeling suddenly enlightened.

Talking about everything, talking about things, talking about things, there are always endless topics to talk about.

Of course, most of the time it was Xie Xiuping who was speaking and Su Zeyu was listening.

Most of the time, Xie Xiuping talked about the differences between his hometown and the outside, such as festivals, customs, and dialects.

Su Zeyu said that Qingzhou City has the largest video game city, the most luxurious KTV, the most stylish Qing Bar, and the forest park in the east of the city can roast whole sheep;

The Qingshui River in the west of the city can be used for boating, the city park in the south of the city can enjoy flowers and animals, pray for Buddha and visit temples, and there is also a super large comprehensive wholesale market in the west of the city.

Through the communication with Su Zeyu and the city map of Qingzhou City bought at the school gate, Xie Xiuping now has a general understanding of Qingzhou City.

He even secretly made a plan, that is, to finish walking around the city before graduation, yes, walking instead of taking a car, but he felt that his approach seemed a bit silly.

……

"Have you eaten the mooncakes?" Xie Xiuping looked at the box of mooncakes received today on the small table and asked.

There are only two mooncakes, but they are packaged very delicately. Along with the mooncakes, there is a postcard of the full moon. It looks like it was taken in the city. You can see two tall buildings in the foreground.

"Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival!" Su Zeyu said.

"We practiced today, and the school gave out mooncakes for lunch," Xie Xiuping said.

"How about the training, is it fun? There is no training in our military training."

Although he heard yesterday that he was going to train today, he was still a little curious about the specific training.

"Start at 8:5 am and return to school at [-]:[-] pm. The destination of the training is still far from the school, which is Xinfeng Village in the west of the city. You should have heard of it.

On the way to Xinfeng Village, there is a special school bus to pick you up.After arriving at the starting point of the training, the large troops walked in front, and drove the car behind to pick up people all the way, haha. "

Xie Xiuping couldn't help laughing as he recalled how the big troops were walking slowly in front and chasing after them, picking up people all the way.

The road twists and turns along with the terrain of the village, and you can see the heads of the large troops in front from a distance, but the ones behind can't catch up no matter how they run.

Fortunately, Xie Xiuping's company was in the middle and front position, otherwise it would kill people.

"On our way to the shooting range, we also set up a smoke barrier, which choked everyone to death, and felt a faint smell of gunpowder.

When we arrived at the shooting range, everyone was exhausted and had to line up to the mountains to shoot targets. "

Xie Xiuping wrinkled his nose as he spoke, still disgusted with the smell of smoke.

"Then did you shoot the target? Did you buckle it yourself or did the instructor do it for you?" Boys are obsessed with guns, and Su Zeyu was a little excited.

"I dunked it myself. Officer Zhou J is on my side. He has all the bullets ready, so he will teach me how to put my hands.

Putting it on the shoulder, just after aiming, I heard someone commanding in unison, shouting to let go, and I dunked it. I only felt three vibrations on the shoulder, and the three bullets were finished.

Thirty or dozens of students fired together, and the gunshots were really earth-shattering.Before we had time to understand it carefully, the instructor drove us down and replaced us. "Xie Xiuping obviously still didn't feel satisfied.

"A real gun?" Su Zeyu was excited.

"They all discussed that it was a Wulu-style semi-automatic rifle, so it should be true. They said that some troops often train there or something."

"That should be true. That's great, you can still touch the gun. But you really know how to buckle it yourself. In such a tense atmosphere, many people forgot to buckle it, right?"

"Girls generally don't dare to detain it, and the J officer helps to detain it, and the boys usually do it themselves.

We have a shotgun at home, you can go and touch it when the time comes to get addicted? Xie Xiuping covered the microphone and said in a low voice.

"Oh."

Su Zeyu listened to the first half of the sentence, and carefully chewed the second half of the sentence. He felt a little unreal, and asked curiously: "Really? No, what?"

"There are big mountains and forests over there. My uncle is a mountain guard. He is assigned to guard against some vicious animals. He is registered and has a certificate."

Xie Xiuping really wanted to roll her eyes, but the other party couldn't see it.

"Hey, this, it's okay to have fun." Su Zeyu smiled.

"The instructor gave me three bullet casings, when will I give you one to enjoy yourself first?"

"Okay, remember to leave one for me!" Su Zeyu was very excited like a child who got his favorite toy.

This night, after some chatter, the two hung up the phone and prepared to rest.
