War Military: From 1978

Chapter 20: Quit smoking for the sake of your health!
"Why do you have a butcher knife? We are a military unit, not a slaughterhouse!"

"What? Your family is a butcher, and your father asked you to carry something for self-defense? You..."

"Nonsense, who told you to carry bullets?"

The new recruits were formally divided into companies and classes. Now, after each class entered the dormitory, they began to check everyone's luggage.

At this moment, Chu An and others who were staying in the dormitory could hear the roars of other class leaders nearby.

What a disgrace! This kind of talent exists not only in Class 4, but also in other classes.

The local customs are too tough. Most importantly, few people in the country have any experience traveling far away, and they lack various safety educations.

For various reasons.

It is not surprising at all that some bullets are found in the luggage of some new recruits. Just look at Wang Qinghe's reaction.

Even when Qiu Wei pulled out a pistol, Wang Qinghe didn't react much. It was only after he found out that Qiu Wei had secretly taken things from his home that he started to get angry.

"Boom~"

In the dormitory of Class 4, Lao Wang checked Qiu Wei's pistol, removed the magazine and threw it on the table.

The dull sound made Chu An unable to help but look again and again.

Although he remembered that he had touched a gun during the national military training, he was young at the time and had only touched it but had never fired it.

As for his self before rebirth, there is no need to mention it.

In a society that has long banned guns, he only touched a toy gun when he was a child.

Now, this is a real gun!

It was just thrown so casually at a close distance, and the magazine of the gun was still loaded with bullets.

To be honest, he really wanted to touch it.

Of course, this is just thought.

"We are in the army, not going up to the mountains to be bandits!"

Wang Qinghe's expression was unusually serious, and when he spoke, his tone was even a little dull: "When you arrive at the army, you don't need to bring your own guns and ammunition.

At the same time, as soldiers, even if you have just joined the army, as long as you put on this uniform, you must abide by the army's discipline, understand?"

"Yes!"

Some people responded, while others remained silent. But the next second, Lao Wang suddenly stared at everyone and shouted, "Don't you have mouths?"

"Yes!"

This time, all the recruits responded loudly.

Only then did Lao Wang let everyone go.

The inspection continued, and this time nothing unexpected happened.

At most, two recruits had cigarettes and matches in their bags, which were found and confiscated.

"What are you looking at? Where's yours?"

After lighting everyone's cigarettes and bags, Lao Wang suddenly looked at Chu An.

Chu An immediately smiled awkwardly and reached into his pocket to take out a pack of cigarettes and a box of matches.

This is the pack of "economy" cigarettes that I bought for Lao Wang that day.

Chu An just secretly smoked one when he went to the bathroom that night after buying it.

After being exposed by Lao Wang the next day, Chu An made up his mind not to smoke anymore!

The main thing is that Chu An finally figured it out after being exposed by Lao Wang.

It will probably be difficult to smoke during the next period of recruit training.

Moreover, Chu An also knew that smoking was harmful to health and it was not just talk.

This thing does affect a person's lung capacity.

Thinking that I would have to go to the battlefield early next year.

So, Chu An made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and decided to quit this thing.

"Just one cigarette? You didn't hide anything on you, did you?"

Old Wang took the cigarette handed to him by Chu An, looked at it, then turned his head and stared at Chu An with squinting eyes and asked.

"Report, really no, I don't actually smoke at home, I was just curious that day, so I bought a pack!"

Chu An was just talking nonsense. Of course, it wasn't really nonsense, because Chu An's original self in this life really couldn't smoke.

"Well, okay!"

Wang Qinghe nodded and turned his attention to the other recruits: "Those of you who still have cigarettes on you, be more careful!"

After a pause, he said again with a serious face: "Smoking is strictly prohibited during the recruit company. This is for your health!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at everyone and said, "We are soldiers, so I won't search you, but I'm going to leave this to you.

If I catch you smoking during subsequent training, don't blame me for not reminding you today!"

Still no one said anything, so Lao Wang waited for a while and then said directly, "Okay, since there's no more, then everyone pick up your bags and we'll go store them!"

"It's not a pleasant experience to smoke for the first time, right?"

I followed Wang Qinghe out to store my bag. As soon as I left the dormitory, Li Guoping came up to me and spoke in a low voice with a smile.

"Well, I choked to death!"

Chu An looked at him and responded casually to what he said.

Immediately, the guy laughed even more happily.

But the two of them didn't talk much now because the private room was not far away.

It's one of the red brick houses in the row in front.

After Chu An and others stored their luggage under the guidance of Lao Wang, they moved to another place in front of this row of houses to queue up.

Things like military uniforms, bed sheets, and mosquito nets.

When we were at home, we were only given one set of military uniform. Even this uniform has not been changed or washed in the past few days since we wore it at home.

And now, I finally have something to change into.

"Squad leader, can we take a shower today?"

When they returned to the dormitory, someone couldn't help but ask Wang Qinghe a question that everyone was concerned about.

Although it was March, this was the south and I hadn't taken a shower or changed my clothes for several days, especially after spending two days in the stuffy environment of a train.

In fact, everyone is not feeling well right now.

"Okay, everyone will take a shower today!"

Wang Qinghe's words instantly made the new recruits in the dormitory restless.

Chu An was also full of anticipation.

He actually asked Lao Wang this question the day before yesterday.

But the answer he gave at that time was to be patient and make unified arrangements for everyone after the companies and classes were divided.

And now, the wait has finally come!

Next, everyone started to make their beds neatly under Lao Wang's arrangement, and he taught everyone how to hang mosquito nets on their beds correctly and in a standard manner.

I have to say, this thing is definitely something that everyone urgently needs.

In March, there are no mosquitoes in southern Hunan.

But now we have arrived at the southwestern border of our motherland.

During the few nights Chu An stayed here, even though Lao Wang would light mosquito coils in the middle of the dormitory before going to bed, he still ended up being bitten by mosquitoes every night.

By now, Chu An's body had broken skin and scabs on many parts of his body.

This is because it was too itchy and I scratched it with my own hands.

I don’t know what kind of mosquitoes here are. Not only do they make you itchy after biting you, but the itch is also very persistent, so persistent that you have to scratch it.

"Beep beep~assemble!"

Suddenly, when everyone in the dormitory was still fiddling with the mosquito net, a whistle suddenly sounded outside.

"go!"

Old Wang was originally sitting at the square table in the dormitory, watching everyone messing with the mosquito net.

Now pick up the hat that you have put aside and put it on.

A little flustered.

In the two rows of red brick dormitories, nine squads of new recruits now ran out quickly under the leadership of their respective squad leaders, and then, following the shout of an unfamiliar cadre, began to assemble on the playground on the side of the dormitory building.
