War Military: From 1978

Chapter 12: Brain mutation?
"Chu An, why didn't you call me when you got up?"

On the camp roads, all the new recruits were jogging along with the recruiting officers and the veteran squad leaders.

There was no mention of how far they had to run, and they didn't run fast, so the new recruits who were running now had the leisure to talk.

So, Li Guoping came up to Chu An and complained in a low voice.

Chu An glanced at him unhappily and whispered, "I didn't know he was out sweeping the floor. I thought it was something else. I only found out after he left the house!"

"You must call me tomorrow!"

In an instant, Chu An felt a little overwhelmed.

Sure enough, the thing I was most worried about happened.

What he was most worried about was that this matter would lead to internal friction. After waking up this morning, he fell into the trap.

But he really doesn't want to do that again tomorrow.

But it was obvious that he didn't have the final say in this matter.

Looking at Tian Weimin's expression after being praised, and thinking about the purity of people in this era, Chu An guessed that someone would get up before dawn tomorrow just to get praise.

If that happens, you and I will curl up together, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to sleep well.

It’s a headache, but there’s nothing I can do about it.

"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Chu An sent him away casually and ran forward a few steps faster.

I don't want to be pestered by him to continue chatting.

Twenty minutes later, all the new recruits, led by the recruiting officers and veterans, slowly ran two laps around the not-so-large camp.

After returning to the dormitory, everyone took their toothbrushes and toothpaste and went out to wash up.

It is worth mentioning that nowadays most people bring their toothpaste from home.

The army only distributes toothbrushes, but does not distribute consumables such as toothpaste and soap. You need to bring your own or buy them after arriving at the army.

"Come on, look carefully, it will be your turn soon!"

In the dormitory, after washing up, everyone did not wait until the meal was served.

It was still too early, and now the squad leader named Wang, who had slept with everyone last night, began to teach everyone how to fold their quilts.

There was no bed, and the quilt was rolled up and placed on the cement floor in the middle of the dormitory.

"Making your blanket is your first lesson in the army, and it's also the most important lesson at the beginning of your military career!"

After Squad Leader Wang spread the quilt on the ground, he first looked at everyone and said this, then he leaned over the quilt and began to squeeze and smooth it with his hands.

"Folding the quilt is a delicate job. Watch carefully what I'm doing now, otherwise you won't be able to fold it properly later!"

There is not much theory or reason for doing this, and I don’t know whether Squad Leader Wang can’t say it or doesn’t want to say it.

After he said this, he stopped talking and started to fiddle with the quilt silently, while the group of recruits gathered around him and watched him intently.

Squad leader Wang folded the quilt very slowly. It took him at least four or five minutes to fold a quilt.

In fact, it is mainly the final repair.

He fingered and pinched it for at least three minutes.

But the result was indeed very good, square and just like the tofu-block quilts Chu An saw on the Internet in later life.

"Did you see it clearly? It's your turn now, go!" Squad leader Wang stood up and looked around.

Immediately, the recruits turned around.

Everyone was busy picking up their own quilts.

I have to say that the space in this Soviet-style dormitory is really large. Now fourteen people can spread out in the dormitory with their quilts.

Of course, this is also because everyone lives next to the wall and there is nothing in the middle.

Chu An spread the quilt on the ground and recalled what Squad Leader Wang had just done.

The next second, Chu An's eyes widened a little.

Because he suddenly realized that as he recalled this, the process of Wang the squad leader folding the quilt just now was flowing through his mind as clearly as a visual image. This.
Chu An was dumbfounded.

This scene is very familiar. Chu An’s previous memories after fusion were also like this. It was like a movie, and the picture was extremely clear.

But he hadn't thought much about it before, thinking it was a normal phenomenon after memory fusion.

But now.
Now this is not a fused memory, this is something that just happened.

The human brain is not a computer. Even if one can remember what just happened, it cannot be so clear, as if it were engraved in the brain.

I recalled again the scene of eating noodles in the cafeteria after getting off the bus after my rebirth the day before yesterday.

Really, that clear picture like a movie flowed through my mind again.

What's going on with me?
Chu An felt a little terrified.

My brain won't mutate, right?

"Don't worry, the first step is to press out all the air in the quilt.

Also, try to smooth out the edges and creases of your quilts!"

The voice from behind interrupted Chu An's daydreaming.

At that moment, Chu An no longer cared about his own changes.

Anyway, rebirth has already happened, and I could predict the future before, so it’s not difficult to accept a few more changes like this now.

Leaning over the quilt, Chu An slowly started to fix it, imitating the way and manner in which Squad Leader Wang had handled the quilt just now.

However, even if Chu An could replicate what Squad Leader Wang did just now, some things cannot be changed by simply replicating the operation.

For example, Chu An's quilt was used as a mattress on the train for two days and one night, and then as a mattress again last night, which resulted in some creases on it that could not be smoothed out no matter how hard I tried.

"Report!" Chu An turned around and looked at Squad Leader Wang and raised his hand.

"What's the matter?" Squad Leader Wang didn't say anything serious and walked towards Chu An while speaking.

"Squad Leader, can I get some hot water in a cup and iron the quilt? I've noticed these creases are impossible to remove with my hands!"

"Report, squad leader, I've discovered this problem too!"

"Yes, squad leader, this is me too!"

Before Chu An made the report, no one said anything. Now that Chu An had spoken, the other recruits immediately started talking.

Squad Leader Wang looked around at everyone, then a smile appeared on his face and he said, "Don't worry, this is the first time today, so I won't be too strict. You just need to fold it into the shape of tofu.

As for the creases on the quilt, I'll have time to fix them for you later in the day!"

Well, with what he said, Chu An stopped worrying about the creases on the quilt and started folding it directly.

The movements were slow but methodical, which made Squad Leader Wang, who was standing behind Chu An, feel a little weird.

As a veteran squad leader, when teaching new recruits, it is necessary to take advantage of their mistakes, point them out and correct them while building up your own prestige as a squad leader.

He never stopped talking before, constantly pointing out the mistakes of other recruits in the dormitory.

But before that, he ignored Chu An who looked very serious.

But now Chu An reported, and he also came behind Chu An. He wanted to take a closer look and give a warning to this new recruit who not only had a big appetite but was also obviously brave.

Although the recruit's technique and movements in folding the quilt were a bit immature, there was nothing wrong with it. It looked as if he had folded it himself.

I watched Chu An fold the quilt and then slowly began to mend it.

Finally, he gave up.

Apart from the fact that Chu An's movements were a little clumsy, he couldn't find any other problems.

But there's nothing that can be done about the clumsy movements, and to really bring this up is like nitpicking.

After all, this is the first time for a new recruit to fold his quilt.
