Chapter 45 The Evil Chu Zhao! [Please read on! Please vote!]
Just as Ye Pengfei and Li Jiahao were looking at each other in bewilderment.
Gu Pan looked at her blanket, which resembled a steamed bun, and then at Li Jiahao, who appeared calm on the surface but was actually panicking inside. After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly raised her hand timidly and whispered.
"Jiahao... could you teach me too...?"
Before she finished speaking, the eyes of the remaining nine people in the dormitory all fell on Gu Pan, their expressions full of doubt.
This is really a child...
You actually believed that?
Seeing his comrades looking at him with questioning eyes, Gu Pan, who was short and thin, thought he had done something wrong. His freckled face turned bright red.
"W-what's wrong...?"
Seeing Gu Pan's somewhat confused look, Ye Pengfei sighed helplessly in his heart.
Ugh!
What kind of junk is this in my class?
Li Jiahao goes without saying. Now, when class leaders and cadres mention him in private, they all call him "Brother Hao" to show their respect.
Now another simpleton has appeared... Do local armed forces departments no longer select recruits?
Why are they sending all sorts of species to the military?
Among all the new recruits... the one who really exhausted Ye Pengfei the most was Chu Zhao...
Although the misunderstanding was cleared up, Ye Pengfei and Chu Zhao no longer had any conflicts.
However, Ye Pengfei still highly agreed with the assessment of Chu Zhao by the armed forces officer.
This kid... is definitely not someone to be trifled with!
How long has Chu Zhao been back from the hospital? How many minutes has Ye Pengfei been gone? Yet Chu Zhao has already produced such a quilt that even Ye Pengfei would be ashamed of.
In a short time.
Ye Pengfei suddenly felt a little lost... He didn't know what standards to use to regulate the cleanliness of the new recruits' quarters.
Logically speaking, a training squad leader should expect new recruits to emulate him.
But judging from Chu Zhao's current state... in two months at most, no, in a month at most, once Chu Zhao has tidied up the blankets properly, he will be the undisputed "model of housekeeping" for the Third Platoon, even the Fifth Company, and even the entire recruit regiment!
To make Chu Zhao's domestic affairs conform to his own standards...?
Just thinking about it made Ye Pengfei feel incredibly ashamed!
Besides, a new recruit's blanket was folded better than his squad leader's...
If this gets out, it won't sound good at all.
With this in mind.
Ye Pengfei sighed inwardly, thinking to himself that this batch of new recruits was just too damn hard to manage!
Especially Chu Zhao!
The word "troublemaker" is no longer sufficient to describe him.
Rather, it's "evil," radiating evil from head to toe!
Although I'm very tired.
However, on the surface, Ye Pengfei still encouraged Chu Zhao.
"Not bad, you really have a talent for folding this blanket."
"Keep this momentum! The squad leader hopes you can be the first in our company to become the model of housekeeping!"
As he spoke, Ye Pengfei didn't forget to take the opportunity to give a warning to the other new recruits in the class.
"And you guys! Look at other people's blankets, then look at the pile of dog poop you've folded!"
"They're all new recruits, and Chu Zhao even spent a few days in the hospital, how come there's such a big difference?"
"Class monitor..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sun Li cautiously mimicked Gu Pan's earlier manner, raising his right hand and tentatively speaking.
"Li Jiahao isn't exactly a new recruit, is he...?"
"But his blanket doesn't seem to be folded as well as Chu Zhao's..."
Li Jiahao, who had been silent and trying to blend into the air, raised his head in anger and anxiety upon hearing this, glaring at Sun Li!
Ye Pengfei's reaction was even more direct; he unleashed a powerful punch at Sun Li!
"Snapped!"
"Don't argue with me!"
"..."
After a brief interlude.
The new recruits sat on the stools again, recalling the steps Chu Zhao had taken when folding the blankets, while continuing to struggle with their own blankets.
Two new recruits tried to stitch the quilt covers like Chu Zhao had done, but the stitches they made were not only disjointed but also crooked, making their already poor tidiness even worse and earning them a good scolding from Ye Pengfei!
"What are you two doing? Are you arranging threads or drawing talismans on the blanket?"
"I'm asking you two, what's the standard of your housekeeping... Don't you have any self-awareness at all?"
"Two athletes with brain thrombosis... and they're already thinking about Olympic gold medals... The Paralympic Games don't even want you two!"
"I'm giving you two half an hour to fix the marks on the blanket!"
The two recruits pitifully replied "Yes," and began to clean up the mess they had made, still feeling extremely puzzled.
Weird!
Chu Zhao just did it like that?
Why doesn't it work for us?
Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but look at Chu Zhao. They saw that Chu Zhao, who had impressed everyone in the class with his neatly folded bed, was not sitting on a stool in a daze or doing nothing because of his excellent housekeeping skills.
Quite the opposite.
He is now arguably the most serious and focused of the new recruits.
Chu Zhao did not continue to work on the trap as she had done before.
Because he knew very well that these "superficial efforts" could not last.
As a true veteran, Chu Zhao has his own pride.
The previous demonstration was merely a showcase of strength for Li Jiahao and the others.
Next, Chu Zhao will use his patience and skill to mold this new military quilt into the best and most perfect state in his mind!
This is both a technical and a physically demanding job.
To break the cotton inside, you not only have to do it in one go, but you also can't relax your strength at all. You have to rely on the index and middle fingers that are crossed up and down to exert force. After a while, your two fingers will feel sore and painful, and in severe cases, they may even cramp!
Every soldier has to repeat this action thousands of times after arriving at the unit, until calluses form on the two fingers near the palm, which is considered to be the initial way to pinch out the lines.
The amount of sweat and effort required to achieve this is self-evident.
Why do all soldiers cherish their blankets so much?
Not only because these blankets are "close comrades-in-arms" that have accompanied them throughout their military careers, but also because every corner of the blankets bears their sweat, tears, and even blood.
By carefully observing a quilt, one can discover the bittersweet experiences, joys and sorrows contained within it.
People are always curious about what military life is really like.
To the new recruits at this moment, military life is roughly about the folded blankets they long for, the sergeant's scolding after a housekeeping inspection, and the heartbreaking tears of finding their blankets in the toilet, the gradually damp sheets, and the fear of being seen by the sergeant.
at the same time.
The more than two thousand new recruits of the 6th Mechanized Infantry Division this year, like Chu Zhao and others, were huddled in their dormitories, mending their quilts with worried expressions.
outside the window.
The howling wind from the snow-capped mountains grew stronger, as if it couldn't wait to deliver the transformation that comes with the high plateau to every new recruit!
