Chapter 20 Personal Habits and Personality Cultivation
The next morning.
Just as the sky was getting light, a loud horn sounded, breaking the tranquility of the early morning.
The recruits woke up from their sleep and hurriedly dressed and folded their quilts. The entire recruit company dormitory area suddenly became noisy. Xu Yan woke up dazedly, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and shouted, "What are you doing? Can't you let us sleep?"
"Xu Yan, gather together. If you don't want to be punished, get up quickly." Luo Yifei, who was sleeping on the lower bunk, was already dressed neatly. He folded the bedding neatly into a tofu block, greeted Xu Yan on the upper bunk, and rushed out of the dormitory with his comrades.
"What time is it?" Xu Yan complained in a low voice, yawned, lifted the quilt, slowly put on his clothes, buttoned them casually, left the quilt in a mess and did not fold it, and walked out of the dormitory with his mouth covered.
Yawning continuously, Xu Yan walked out of the dormitory building. With the loud call of numbers, he found the location of Class 3. Just as he was about to join the queue, he saw everyone looking at him, especially the class leader Sun Xin, who had a sharp gaze.
"Xu Yan!" Sun Xin said in a low voice with a sullen face.
"Here!" Xu Yan stood at attention and shouted loudly, his eyes rolling around. It seemed that he knew he had made a mistake.
"On the first day of morning exercises, you were 40 seconds late. You are awesome!"
Seeing Sun Xin's bad face, Xu Yan rolled his eyes and was about to give an explanation , but Sun Xin said with a stern face: "If you are late for one minute, you will be punished by doing 100 push-ups. Start!"
When he heard that he was going to do push-ups , Xu Yan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He leaned over and did a hundred push-ups in one breath. He jumped up from the ground. His face was not red and he was not out of breath, but his breathing was a little heavier.
"Report to the squad leader, after you have done 100 push-ups, if you are one minute late, you will be punished by doing 100 push-ups. I was 40 seconds late, so I should have done 67. I did 100, so the remaining 33 are just for free!"
puff!
Upon hearing this, Luo Yifei and others couldn't help laughing!
Sun Xin's already gloomy expression became even gloomier. He looked at Xu Yan deeply and said in a muffled voice, "This will not happen again. Join us!"
Xu Yan trotted back to the line and a day's training began. When Sun Xin wasn't paying attention, Luo Yifei poked Xu Yan and gave him a thumbs up.
Xu Yan smiled smugly and lowered his voice and said, "If I had known that I would be punished to do 100 push-ups for being late for one minute, I would have slept for another five minutes."
Sun Xin noticed him talking and asked, "What are you mumbling about?"
"Report to the squad leader, I am reminding myself that I must get up early in the future and never be late again!" Xu Yan's face became serious and he replied righteously.
Sun Xin looked at Xu Yan with scrutiny. He did not believe a single punctuation mark in what he said. However, Xu Yan's words sounded very righteous at this time, so he did not know what to say and could only continue training.
The following training went smoothly and nothing happened, except that Jiang Danian was still confused about left and right as usual. Sun Xin had given up hope and just let it go.
After the training, Sun Xin took Class 3 to the cafeteria for breakfast, and then took them back to the dormitory to rest. As soon as he arrived at the dormitory, his mood suddenly became bad again because some people did not fold their quilts.
The messy quilt on Xu Yan's bed was as dazzling as a boil against the background of the tofu blocks around it. Sun Xin's pupils shrank and his expression lengthened. "Whose quilt is this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Xu Yan. Without any answer, Sun Xin knew that the quilt must be Xu Yan's.
call!
Sun Xin took a deep breath, feeling a sense of powerlessness rising in his heart. Xu Yan had only been on the third shift for less than 24 hours, but problems kept occurring one after another. If this continued in the long run, it would be disastrous. So he decided instantly that he must criticize him severely.
"Report to the squad leader, this quilt is mine." Xu Yan said loudly.
Having the courage to admit mistakes is Xu Yan's strength. Of course, this strength cannot extinguish Sun Xin's anger. He just saw his face tense and asked, "Why don't you fold the quilt?"
"I got up late and didn't have enough time, you know that, but I was still 40 seconds late..."
Before Xu Yan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Sun Xin, "You think you are ? Let me tell you, getting up late is not an excuse. As a qualified soldier, you must first take care of your housekeeping. If you can't even do your housekeeping well, you are not worthy of being a soldier!"
"It's not that serious." Xu Yan curled his lips and said, "I just woke up late accidentally. I'm nostalgic and like to sleep in the same bed I slept in the day before. I just didn't make the quilt. There's no need to elevate my personal living habits to the level of personality cultivation!"
puff!
Luo Yifei, Yuan Guoqing and others burst into laughter and looked at Xu Yan with interest. This new comrade was so funny. Fresh words always came out of his mouth. He could talk about living habits and personality cultivation just by folding a quilt. What a talent, an absolute talent!
"Not that serious?" Sun Xin sneered and said loudly: "If you can't even clean your own house, how can you clean up the world? If a soldier can't even do his housework, how can you expect him to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy?"
After hearing this, Xu Yan was immediately dissatisfied. He rolled his eyes and said, "Report, can I say a few words?"
"explain!"
"Internal affairs are internal affairs, and killing the enemy is killing the enemy. They are two completely different things. How can they be confused? I don't know why you take it so seriously, but if this happened in the special forces, they would definitely not handle it this way." Xu Yan argued, not giving Sun Xin a chance to speak, and then asked: "Do you want to know how the special forces handle similar incidents?"
A group of people were immediately attracted when they heard Xu Yan say this, even Sun Xin was the same. He sneered and said, "I want to see what you have to say."
After getting Sun Xin's approval, Xu Yan curled his lips and smiled, saying, "It's hard to explain clearly. How about this, I'll show you!"
As he spoke, Xu Yan walked directly out of the dormitory. A group of people were attracted by his words and looked at him curiously, but saw him coughing pretentiously and walking in with his hands behind his back, walking like a dragon and a tiger, with an eagle's eyes and a wolf's look, like a special instructor.
Xu Yan placed a stool in the middle of the dormitory, pointed at Jiang Danian, and said in a commanding manner: "You, take the quilt down and put it on the stool!"
Jiang Danian glanced at Sun Xin, who nodded slightly, indicating that Jiang Danian should do as Xu Yan said. He wanted to see what this kid was up to.
Seeing that Sun Xin agreed, Jiang Danian hurriedly picked up the quilt from the bed and placed it on the stool. Noticing that the four corners of the quilt were a little uneven, he pulled it again, then stood aside with his hands folded.
Xu Yan glared at Jiang Danian for a while, then said sinisterly, "The quilt is folded nicely!"
