The first day at the base

The bus stopped at the training ground of the military training base. Lu You said goodbye to Li Yu and the other three, and took the four people who were carpooling in the class to his own shuttle bus to get their luggage.

Meng Yi followed Lu You closely, thinking incessantly.

"You traitor, you traitor..."

Lu You didn't want to pay attention at first, but he really couldn't stand the monk chanting sutras, so he had to respond: "Okay, you should tell me where I betrayed."

"You agreed that we would sit together."

"When did I say that? I only promised that you would sit on other buses with me, but I didn't say that I would also sit together, right?"

"Uh..." Meng Yi was speechless for a moment, but he quickly responded, "You also said that you are single and don't have a girlfriend. But as soon as you got in the car, you started chatting with the girl."

"It's true that I don't have a girlfriend now, but that doesn't mean I can't talk to girls, right? Is this also called betrayal?"

Meng Yi's eyes turned red when he thought of the appearance of the two girls who were talking to Lu You in the car, "I'm so f*cked up, can you introduce me to them?"

"No." Lu You refused without saying a word. "If you really want to get to know them, just go to them and tell them yourself. I won't make connections or provide any personal information."

"It's so stingy to be so strict with her even before she's a girlfriend." Meng Yi muttered softly.

"It's not a matter of being stingy or not." Lu You said in a slightly serious tone, "Leaking out other people's personal information without their permission can easily cause trouble to others. This is my basic principle as a person."

Seeing that he became serious, Meng Yi no longer hesitated, but licked his bangs and said confidently: "Okay, I will go directly to them then. I think even you can talk to them, With your outstanding temperament, Brother Meng, I would have no problem making friends with them, and a further relationship is not impossible."

Lu You turned his head, looked at him with a half-smile and said, "You'd better not say that you are my roommate when we strike up a conversation. When they come to ask me, I will just say I don't know them."

"Exactly." Meng Yi said disdainfully, "When does Brother Meng need to rely on other people's reputation to strike up a conversation?"

"That's best."

One minute later.

"Brother Lu, can't you really say that I know you?" Meng Yi asked humbly.

"'When does Brother Meng need to rely on other people's reputation to strike up a conversation?'" Lu You repeated what he said in full.

"Brother Meng is joking, Brother Lu, don't pay attention."

Lu You sighed and said, "If you really want to get to know each other, just walk over and say hello. Just speak in a normal manner and be measured. Girls are not devils. As long as you don't do the next thing, It's okay to speak normally."

Meng Yi was a little moved, "Brother Lu, do you agree..."

"No. Live by your own means and have enough food and clothing." Lu You refused this time before he could finish his words.

"I haven't said yet..."

"Then don't say it."

The group quickly got their luggage and found the team of Class 3 in front of the flag-raising platform. Lu You consciously came to the front of the team, stood with the deputy squad leader, and performed the duties of the squad leader.

After waiting for a while, a group of teachers and instructors in military uniforms came over.

Then a fat man in military uniform walked to the flag-raising platform, holding a large speaker in his left hand and a stack of papers in his right hand.

"Ahem." The man cleared his throat and began to read the contents of the paper into the speaker, "Hello, fellow students and teachers from Chunhua. I am the person in charge of your military training this time. My surname is Fu. When you see me, you can ask me to be the commander of the regiment. Don't ask why there is no official regiment leader. Don't ask such boring questions. It will make you look naive. First of all, welcome to our military training base..."

Then there are a lot of various rules, arrangements and so on. Lu You really wanted to speak directly, but due to his responsibilities, he could only listen carefully to the speech and summarize the useful things.

Basically, there will be a loudspeaker to wake up at 5:50 every morning. At 6 o'clock, everyone must gather in front of the flag-raising platform to raise the flag and sing the national anthem. After disbanding, at 7 o'clock, they must gather at the assembly point arranged by their respective instructors for training. During this period, the dormitory housekeeping must be tidied up. There will be dedicated personnel to check. In the afternoon, we meet at two o'clock and in the evening at six o'clock. You have to turn off the lights and go to bed at 11 o'clock in the night, etc.

Captain Fu held a loudspeaker and talked for more than half an hour, talking about various rules and things about his original military camp.

Although there were a few white clouds in the sky covering the sun, the temperature of 30 degrees Celsius still made Lu You's entire back wet. I could only straighten my back to prevent the travel bag from getting on my back, and beads of sweat appeared on my forehead.

Lu You looked like he was about to die, and the student team also had some commotion due to the heat.

Captain Fu seemed to realize that he had spoken for a bit too long, so he quickly ended the topic and said, "That's it for today's speech. Each class will follow their respective instructors. Disband now and exit from both sides in an orderly manner."

A young man with a serious expression and Teacher Zeng came to Lu You. He looked Lu You and Li Womeng up and down, then asked, "Are you in Class 1 (3) of high school?"

"Yes." Lu You responded.

"Lead the team to follow."

The whole class walked to a dormitory building, and there were already two groups of people standing downstairs. Lu You found Tang Wan and Li Yu in the crowd.

The young instructor stopped, turned around and said to the whole class: "We're here. Remember this location. We will gather here in the future."

After everyone roughly memorized their positions, he continued: "Let me introduce myself first. My surname is Liu. You can just call me Instructor Liu. The general process and rules of military training have just been explained by the regimental commander, so I won't I'll say it again. But I have to talk about some details. We are the third squad, here we are the third company, and form a performance camp with the other one, two, and four companies. The specific performances will be arranged tomorrow. "

"Tell me about the dormitory inspection standards. There can't be anything in the hallway. Your luggage and everything else should be placed under the bed. The bedding and mosquito nets on the bed must be stacked according to the standards. How to stack them will be taught in the afternoon."

"Then there are toilets. Each of your dormitories will have four clothes-drying rods. The first one near the window sill is for drying military tops, and the second one is for drying bottoms. You can arrange the rest by yourself. There are some that I can't remember at the moment. Let's talk about it when we meet."

"The last is your dormitory. It is in the dormitory building in front. The boys are in 206 to 208, and the girls are in 507 to 508. Your respective bed arrangements have been posted on the door. You must strictly follow the arrangements and align them one by one. Now, I'll give you ten minutes to find a bed in the dormitory, put away your luggage, and then gather here. Dismissed!"

Everyone took their luggage and walked quickly to the dormitory building.

Lu You was lucky and found his name directly in 208. The bed happened to be on the right side of the door and he was the first to go to bed.

As soon as he entered the dormitory, Lu You settled in Bengbu.

"Damn it! There really isn't a fan."

Then there were several more complaints.

"Nm, this toilet is even worse than when I came to junior high school!"

"Why is this broken door rotten at the bottom? Didn't you see all the poop?"

"I'll wait until the lights go out before pulling it up."

…

Soon the whole group gathered at the original location again.

Instructor Liu still had a serious expression. He first looked at his watch, then nodded to everyone and said, "Yes, we will all gather in ten minutes. Next, we will line up. After lining up, follow me to get it." Each of you has a military uniform, a plastic bucket and a small chair. After you have collected the things, you can disperse and move around freely. We will gather at this location at 2 p.m. and everyone must wear military uniforms."

By the time Lu You returned to the dormitory carrying a bucket of military uniforms and a small rubber chair in hand, it was almost half past eleven.

He sat down on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah~ I'm really hot and tired."

Meng Yi's bed happened to be just as Lu You got out of bed, and he also sat aside.

"Want to eat? Together?"

Lu You shook his head and said, "I won't eat with you."

"Eating with girls again?" Meng Yi clenched his fists.

"What else?" Lu You glanced at him, then stood up, "Let's take a step first and see you later."

…

Lu You and Li Yu lined up to prepare their meals and found a corner seat to sit down. As for girls? That's not the case. The relationship between the four of them is not enough to allow them to have dinner together casually.

The two of them looked at the lumps of rice like bricks, a few extra-long lettuce, and a few pieces of fat that looked like pork connected together, and remained silent.

Li Yu was the first to break the silence, "What should I say?"

"There's nothing to say. I prepared that the food here would be unpalatable, but this still exceeded my expectations." Lu You's face was solemn.

Li Yu rubbed what could be called pork with a spoon, and his whole body got goosebumps. "Mmp, I can't eat anymore. Let's go to the small shop and buy something else."

Lu You rummaged in the lunch box and after a lot of hard work, he found a piece of lean meat, then scooped it up with a spoon, and there was still some sticky gelatinous juice attached to it.

Looking at the lean meat the size of a fingernail in the spoon, after some mental struggle, Lu Youcai said: "I'll try the taste first. If I really can't eat it, I'll go to the canteen. I can't go to the cafeteria this week." After that, he took the spoon. Put it in your mouth.

After just two chews, Lu You's expression became distorted.

"How is it? Can you eat it?"

Lu You closed his eyes and swallowed it directly. After waiting for a while, he said, "I'm very curious about how they make lean meat look fishy and greasy like fat meat."

"What do you think of the dining hall?"

"Physically I can't eat, but mentally I want to die." Lu You gave a reply after thinking for a while.

"Let's go, go to the canteen."

The two stood up, picked up the full lunch boxes, and walked towards the swill bucket.

Lu You sighed: "This is my first time cooking, and it tastes better than this thing."

"Ah..." Li Yu thought of the beef brisket and tofu he ate at his house, "I want to eat your cooking."

"Let's talk about it after the military training. There are still several days."

"Then how are you spending these days?" Li Yu's face was a little gloomy, as if there was no light in his life.

Lu You could only say bitterly: "How to live? Survival is considered a victory. Buy some fish fillets, chili sauce, olives and other things."

"That's all it can do." Li Yu responded listlessly.

The two finished washing their lunch boxes, left the canteen, and walked on the way to the canteen.

I happened to meet Tang Wan and Xu Nian next to the dormitory.

"Have you finished eating? So fast!" Xu Nian greeted Li Yu and Lu You.

Logan smiled and waved to them, "Hello."

Seeing Tang Wan's delicate face and smile as warm as the spring breeze, Lu You suddenly had the motivation to survive the hell dining hall alive.

"I'm done eating, now I'm going to the canteen." Li Yu responded with a slight hesitation.

Xu Nian didn't feel anything strange in his words, and continued: "You guys eat so fast, that's why we planned to go. How is the food in the canteen today?"

After Lu You heard this, he immediately put on a serious expression and said, "It's very delicious. I strongly recommend you try it. It's not as scary as those people said."

"Really?" Xu Nian was a little confused, "I remember it was pretty average when we came to junior high school, right?"

Li Yu also put on the same expression as Lu You at this time, "There will always be some changes in three years. Although the dormitory here is still so shabby, the dining hall has indeed improved and it is worth a try." After speaking, he turned to Lu You Yuu looked over.

The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

When Xu Nian heard this, he felt a little more hopeful. Then he took Tang Wan's wrist and said, "Wan Wan, let's go quickly. I want to go to the dining hall to see him."

"Well, let's go." Logan then said to the two of them, "Let's go first, bye."

"By the way, Logan, what kind of instant noodles do you usually eat? Can you recommend it to me?" Lu You asked quickly.

Logan felt a little strange, why did he talk about instant noodles? But he still responded: "Not spicy, something like mushroom stewed chicken, tonkotsu ramen, etc."

Lu You poked Li Yu with his elbow and signaled him to speak.

Li Yu also quickly asked: "What about you, Xu Nian?"

"Me? I'm similar to Wanwan." Xu Nian also looked confused, not knowing what they were thinking.

"Then you go to the canteen quickly, otherwise there will be a lot of people waiting in line." Lu You began to urge the two of them to leave.

Although Xu Nian's mind was still full of questions, eating came first at the moment. He put everything else aside and then pulled Tang Wan towards the dining hall.

Lu You and Li Yu looked at the two girls leaving with pity.

"Let's go to the canteen to buy a bucket of noodles to make amends to them." Lu You patted Li Yu on the shoulder.

"Well, just wait here after buying. It seems more sincere. And there are many people around, so I'm not afraid of them taking action." Li Yu was already taking remedial measures after deceiving others.
