Chapter 1248 Seriousness, Liveliness, Unity, Tension

Third class merit.

If we talk about it in detail, it can be divided into several types.

The fixed quota each year usually goes to veterans, and some grassroots officers may also get it. However, after a company or platoon-level commander wins one, all the remaining quotas will go to the veterans under his command.

Generally, they are squad leaders or personnel with outstanding performance who want to stay in the team. They sit in a row and eat fruit. The longer the service time, the greater the probability of obtaining the third-class merit.

Li Nan and Liu Feng's third-class merit awards did not occupy the quota of the troupe, but were specially awarded by the General Logistics Department. However, Xiao Suizi's award used the quota of the troupe and also did not occupy the quota of the stage design team.

For some veterans who are expected to be evaluated for merit and awards this year, they can breathe a sigh of relief, but for their peers, it is a different story.

The glory of meritorious service and receiving awards is more than just a light aluminum (early aluminum and later bronze) medal. For conscripts, it is a channel for early promotion.

Outside the art troupe auditorium.

All the members of the stage design team had assembled at this time, each of them carrying a small stool on their arm, and some old squad leaders were holding small stools in their hands.

This is something that some skilled people make in their own time, and some are heirlooms passed down from generation to generation. A small stool that does not pinch the buttocks, is not loose and shakes, and is comfortable to sit on is also a popular item in the army.

And its wonderful use is that in the auditorium, whether you are taking a boring political culture class or watching a movie on Friday with great interest, no one wants to twist their waist to relax one second, and then have their buttocks attacked by the gap in the bench the next second.

That really hurts~!

Everyone in the crowd remained quiet, and some slightly "naughty" squad leaders were doing small actions in private, such as quietly stepping on someone's heel, and "kindly" helping him take off his shoes when he ran in.

Generally speaking, during this time, everyone is relaxed. There is no need to rehearse or go out to perform. They can just listen to the people on the stage speaking.

Those in the back can do some small movements and sit in any relaxed manner, but those in the middle have to pretend and bend over to relax while taking notes, and those in the front row have to straighten their backs so that those above can see the full energy and spirit of the officers and soldiers nearby.

As the squad leader who led the new members, Xiao Suizi, who was originally in the middle position, took the opportunity to change her position and became the first one to shout slogans.

"Everyone in class, run~walk!"

"Everyone in Class 2, run~~walk!"

Because the company commanders had already entered the venue in advance with their stools to find seats, the old soldiers who were not under any supervision took advantage of this time to change positions and play tricks on each other, showing the real life scene in the army.

Serious and lively, the two big characters on the wall seemed to be completely depicted in reality.

Not surprisingly, the new recruits who were assigned to the new company were treated as sitting in the front row and had to shout slogans loudly. After entering, they found the supervisor of their company and lined up behind him (her) in a jogging team according to where he (she) was standing.

Then……!
“Let go!”

"Boom~~!"

The sounds when the stools fall to the ground have to be uniform. When I was in the recruit camp, I had been taught by the recruit squad leaders that if the stools fall lightly, I have to do it again. If the sounds when the stools fall to the ground are too random, I have to do it again.

This is the reason why many small stools have cracked surfaces. In an era without scotch tape, Liu Feng, a carpenter craftsman, was undoubtedly very popular.

"Sit~!"

The company commanders and the old squad leaders in the back row did not have this concern, and the benefits of the stool were demonstrated.

The new recruits who had just joined the company, put their hands on their knees and looked straight at the stage. The veterans in the middle seats could chat in private, and those sitting in the back row were even more casual.

"Stand up straight, what are you doing? Who is your recruit squad leader? Is that what he taught you?"

After changing seats, the person sitting behind Li Nan was Hao Shuwen.

The notebook in her hand had been rolled into a stick, and she poked Li Nan's lower back from behind with a contemptuous tone and some indescribable pleasure.

"Get out~!"

In public, Hao Shuwen knew that Li Nan would not dare to talk back to her in public like he had done before, because at that time, other units were also there, and if a fight really broke out, she, as a new recruit, would be the first to suffer.

"Is that how you talk to the squad leader? Even if you have won the third-class merit, so what? A new soldier, you have to behave like a new soldier~!"

As she spoke, Hao Shuwen pushed harder, holding the notebook tightly. The pleasure of revenge made her very proud, and she had to hold back any anger she had.

"Are you endless?"

Li Nan turned her head slightly, her neck was very stiff. At this moment, she had to consider the choreography team as a whole. She really couldn't fall out in public. If they fought in the auditorium, it would be no small matter.

"You rely on your good father to show off everywhere. Doesn't it prove that you are incompetent? I don't think your recruit squad leader is that good. She must regret raising someone as narrow-minded as you for the rest of her life~!"

Feeling the increasing force on his waist, Li Nan used a voice that only the two of them could hear to insult Hao Shuwen to the extreme. It doesn't matter if I can't turn against you in public. I, a new soldier, can bury you in a worthless state. "If you leave your father, you are nothing. You have thrown away the face of your fathers. You are a scum who sneaked into the revolutionary team, a villain among scums~!"

The destructive power of these words was not only huge, but it also tore off Hao Shuwen's face inside and out.

The original intention of switching positions was to take the opportunity to teach Li Nan a lesson because she was too arrogant. Although he couldn't take off her clothes, he could use his military service to teach her a lesson. In the end, he ended up being stabbed in the heart.

“Guchi~!”

"Ouch~!"

The notebook hit empty air as Li Nan turned sideways. Li Nan leaned forward and his head hit Xiao Suizi's body heavily. Even Captain Su in front was alarmed.

Li Nan rubbed his head with one hand and his lower back with the other, looking extremely uncomfortable. Facing Captain Su's staring gaze after he turned around, he spoke to Squad Leader Xiao in a wronged and low voice.

"Hao Shuwen poked me~!"

Not surprisingly, Captain Su heard the whisper clearly. He frowned and looked at Hao Shuwen who was flattening the notebook again.

Her act of pretending to be nonchalant made Captain Su's eyes look even colder.

"Be honest, what kind of occasion is this? Don't do these little tricks~!"

"Yes~!"

Li Nan nodded and accepted Captain Su's reprimand seriously. On the other hand, Hao Shuwen started to mutter and explain her previous behavior.

"Who told her not to sit up straight~!"

"Squad leader, let's switch seats. You sit behind me~!"

Li Nan, holding her lower back, leaned forward. She knew that Hao Shuwen would do something naughty later, so she asked her squad leader in a voice that Captain Su could hear.

"Xiao Suizi, switch places with Hao Shuwen~!"

Before Li Nan made any move, Captain Su had already turned around. Perhaps he knew about the private conflicts among the female soldiers, so he directly named them and replaced them.

Hao Shuwen's chest heaved when her name was called, but she didn't dare to refuse. She just glared at Li Nan fiercely when she walked past her, and then she took a seat with Xiao Suizi.

"Class monitor, sit in the front row and keep your back straight. We need to show our choreography team's style~!"

Wow, the offense and defense changed. This time it was Li Nan who poked Hao Shuwen's lower back with his finger in a slightly teasing voice.

Xiao Suizi, who was sitting behind him, also had a headache at this time. She tugged at Li Nan's outer belt, signaling her not to add fuel to the fire.

After receiving the signal from the squad leader, Li Nan calmed down. Seeing that Hao Shuwen's neck was red with anger, her eyes were bright and she winked at Ke Minmin in the next queue.

As the regiment commander and political commissar walked from behind the scenes to the front, the audience burst into warm applause.

"The Chinese New Year has passed. To be more precise, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has ended, and those on vacation have returned to the team. In this new year, I hope that all members of the art troupe will show new enthusiasm and devote themselves to new work~!"

Captain Xiong was sitting on the stage speaking, holding a speech manuscript in his hand. His neither humble nor arrogant voice spread throughout the auditorium through the microphone.

"A lot of things happened last year, and a lot of tasks were completed. When I was away, the political commissar led everyone to successfully complete many support tasks~!"

"Especially the condolence work for border guards has been well received by brother units. It doesn't matter if our work is a little tiring or hard. We must integrate the cultural and artistic service work for all officers and soldiers into their daily lives~!"

"...!"

The speech was very long and the people in the front row were very tired, but they could not relax at all. At least they had to look like they were doing something serious, after all, there were other squadrons nearby.

Li Nan has gotten used to it. When the superiors speak or give lectures, they usually just say a few simple points, and each point is divided into several smaller points. It is long and tedious, and very painful. He still has to pretend to be taking notes seriously and cannot be negligent in the slightest.

But for Hao Shuwen, it was too tormenting. She was not like Xiao Suizi, who was leading new recruits. She hadn't sat in the first row for a long time. If she relaxed a little, the pen in Li Nan's hand would secretly poke at her. She was now angry and anxious, and was more anxious to end the meeting than Li Nan.

After the regiment commander finished speaking, the political commissar came up, and there was also a chief of staff next to him. There are many such meetings every year, at the beginning of the year, in the middle of the year, at the end of the year, and even more frequently during political and cultural assessments.

"Last year, the group's political work was not perfect, but this year, it has made a good start. Jie Fang Military Newspaper. I didn't expect that after the beginning of the year, someone in our group actually submitted an article, and it was published, and it was on the front page. I was very surprised and delighted. Here, I want to praise him~!"

"Dance team, Xiao Suizi~!"

"Arrived~!"

　I want to give up, I also want to go out and play, I don’t want to type, I don’t want to type~!
