Chapter 42 - can eat spicy food
That night, the punishment training was still going on.
When the other platoons were hiding in the room to hold a shift meeting to rest, the soldiers of the second platoon were still tossing around the big playground with their equipment on their backs.
Duck walk, leapfrog, push-up…
However, no one rose up to resist.
including solemnity.
The game that afternoon had already taught all the recruits in the second row.
When you become a soldier, you are not alone.
When you become a soldier, you are part of a fighting group.
A person’s honor can be a platoon’s honor, and a person’s shame can also be a platoon’s shame.
At this point, even the rebellious solemnity gradually realized.
The army is an alternative world that is different from the real society.
Although in this real world, people living in army camps also have to face some practical problems that all kinds of people in society have to face, and sometimes they even have to deal with some trivial things such as chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea.
However, it does not prevent the group of men who have dark skin and strong muscles, like to smell gunpowder smoke, and like to touch steel guns, to establish a set of behavioral rules and thinking that are different from the real society on their own unique territory.
Zhuang Yan felt that in the army, no one seemed to reason with him.
They were just talking about orders, or that thing called honor.
This kind of thing is very rare in real society, especially in this economic era, it is considered rare.
Just like myself, from the moment I entered the military camp, I had to accept this set of rules that was completely different from my previous life.
At home, Zhuang Yan is definitely a rebellious child.
Father Zhuang Zhenguo was also very worried about his young son.
Zhuang Zhenguo is a typical traditional soldier.
fought a war.
Bleeding.
I have fought with the enemy with real swords and real guns.
To fight **** the battlefield, Zhuang Zhenguo has never been afraid of anyone in his life.
But in the face of his own child, he is like a tiger facing a hedgehog, and he has no idea what to do.
Due to his military service, Zhuang Zhenguo only existed in photos for most of his solemn childhood.
This situation has hopelessly led to a frosty relationship between the two fathers and sons.
After Zhuang Zhenguo changed his career, he still had a strong military atmosphere.
The way he educates his children is basically the same as that of the army, treating the children as his own soldiers.
When the set of the army was put into real life, it was so incompatible, which led to the complete collapse of the relationship between the two fathers and sons.
He asked for the solemn requirements, but none of the solemn ones met the standard.
For example, Zhuang Zhenguo asked his son to cut his hair to a certain size, but Zhuang Yan always kept his hair almost to the shawl, and then used mousse and hairspray in front of the mirror every morning to shine so brightly that not even flies could stop on it. foot.
For this, he beat his son.
But the solemn character is not afraid of being beaten at all.
If you hit him, he will stare at you, hit as you like.
After the fight, what should he do or what should he do.
This is a stubborn bull!
Zhuang Zhenguo suddenly found out that his unfavorable educational method in the army could not shake his son at all, and he often felt desperate.
And the sentence that Zhuang Yan often uses to talk back is so ironic—your idea is outdated!
This sentence is what every new generation would say to their parents when the economic wave drove the progress of the times after the reform and opening up.
The difference is just to say it in the mouth, or whisper it in the heart.
In the end, the helpless Zhuang Zhenguo could only pin his hopes on the troops.
The army is a big melting pot. Zhuang Zhenguo felt that his son was not hopeless. In that case, let him go to the army to be tempered.
If you don’t do it this way, you can really throw the broken iron of solemnity into the army’s melting pot, and it may become a good piece of steel in a few years.
But the solemnity of being a son could not understand Zhuang Zhenguo’s painstaking efforts.
There is a bit of realism and pragmatism in Zhuang Yan’s current acceptance of the rules of the army.
Now that he has come to be a soldier, and can’t run away, he can only accept everything here, including his seemingly arrogant and unreasonable thinking logic.
Before Zhuang Yan came to join the army, he spent a year in his brother Zhuang Buping’s company.
Zhuang Buping is in the building materials and transportation business. He has several large transport vehicles of his own. The sole responsibility is to help him manage the daily expenses of the vehicles.
There is an old driver surnamed Li in the team. He has first-class skills. There is no need to go to the repair shop for ordinary small problems.
Zhuang Yan admired this driver Li so much. Later, when I asked him, I found out that driver Li was also a boss. To be able to work for others.
In the words of Driver Li, this is one that has to accept reality.
Zhuang Yan is like this. He feels that he has to accept the reality. Since he is unable to resist, he should let it be.
The most uncomfortable thing for the recruits in the second platoon was that early the next morning, the battalion commander Teng Wenji fulfilled his promise~www.mtlnovel.com~ The eighth company and the first platoon who won the holiday reward were led by the platoon and squad leaders. The recruits held their small chests and happily left the camp and took a car to a nearby town to play and eat.
Of course, the most uncomfortable is not only the recruits in the second row.
And platoon leader Adai.
The most cowardly platoon leader on weekdays sat at the door of the platoon with a small bench all day, his eyes fixed on the direction of the camp gate, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.
After the recruits went out for training, Adai asked all the squad leaders to come back for a meeting in the row room, leaving only one deputy squad leader to lead the team.
No one knows what was said at this monitor meeting.
However, when he was on guard the next night, Zhuang Yan heard some words from Yin Xiancong’s mouth.
It was already the 30th anniversary of the new year, and the atmosphere of the new year in the boot camp was not too warm, but there was still a set of Spring Festival couplets that were distributed uniformly in the camp on the door of each row.
Dinner is very rich, eight dishes and one soup, and beer, but the recruits are limited, and each person can only have one bottle.
This is the most enjoyable meal I have had since I entered the military camp solemnly.
Because he found that he could finally accept something like chili.
Before joining the army, Zhuang Yan did not eat spicy food, but here, almost all the dishes are spicy.
Egg fried peppers, chicken fried peppers, pork fried peppers, lunch meat fried peppers…
Even fried lettuce, you have to put pepper…
The veterans of the cooking class seem to be unable to cook without chili.
Regarding this matter, Zhuang Yan once protested to platoon leader Adai.
But Adai stared and said, “If you can eat spicy food, you can fight! Do you know why your training is so poor now? It’s because you can’t eat spicy food!”
In one sentence, Zhuang Yanzhi rolled his eyes with stunned eyes.
