War Military: From 1978

Chapter 26 The authority of the squad leader!
There is a large round table in the spacious cafeteria.

At present, each of these round tables is placed with a pot of braised pork with potatoes.

In addition, there were twelve plates placed next to the vegetable bowl, and twelve sets of bowls and chopsticks placed on the table.

"Everyone, take your bowls and line up for food!"

After Chu An and others came to the table guarded by Li Guoping, Lao Wang gave an order.

Everyone immediately took their bowls and prepared to get their meal.

"Squad leader, let me help you!"

Someone was smart enough to reach out and take Lao Wang's bowl.

enThis kind of thing is very normal and happens in almost every class.

This kind of thing happened before we were divided into classes.

"Squad leader, let me serve you the food first!" Someone was too slow to grab the bowl from Lao Wang, so he immediately put down his own bowl and prepared to help Lao Wang serve the food first.

Now there is only one pot of food on each table. When eating, people use the spoon in the pot to scoop the food into the plate in front of them and then pick it up themselves.

"Stop, go get the rice first, we'll get the dishes later!" Lao Wang hurriedly stopped them.

The same is true for other classes.

Before we were divided into classes, everyone ate very casually. It was normal for the veterans to get their food first when the new recruits were getting their meals.

But today no squad leader came to get food in advance.

The changes happened silently, but many recruits didn't see it clearly.

Chu An saw it clearly, but he didn't think much about it. He picked up his bowl and followed the long line to queue up for food.

Soon, it was Chu An's turn. He just took a spoonful and turned around without even filling his bowl.

When eating in the army canteen, the dishes are rationed. The pot of food on the table is the food for the whole class, and there will be no more if it is not enough.

But the food is a bit more particular.

Although this is also a quantitative amount, it is determined based on the total number of people.

All the food is served in large bowls placed in a special place for serving food.

Whoever finishes eating can continue playing.

Chu An now eats about half a bowl of rice for the first meal.

This is something I learned from a short video before my rebirth from a richest man who used to be a soldier.

The first bowl is half a bowl, so I eat it faster than others.

In this way, the second bowl can definitely be served.

When it comes to the second bowl, Chu An usually presses it tighter and tries to pile it higher.

One bowl is as good as two.

no way.

It is almost impossible to have a third bowl of food in the cafeteria. Even if you eat slowly, you won’t be able to get a second bowl.

But now Chu An has a big appetite, and he won’t be full unless he does this.

Naturally, after a few days, Chu An’s little tricks would not be hidden from others.

However, not everyone eats as much as he does, and he hasn't had much physical training these days.

So for most people, just filling the first bowl is enough.

"Let's eat!"

After everyone had finished their meals and sat down, the battalion commander at a table at the back of the cafeteria picked up his bowl and gave orders.

Immediately, the recruits at each table in the cafeteria started moving.

But the next second, a shout suddenly rang out from the cafeteria: "What are you doing? Did I say it's time to eat?"

This is the sound coming from the second company.

All the recruits in the cafeteria who heard the sound looked over there.

Chu An saw that one of the new recruits was very quick. He had already scooped a spoonful of potatoes and meat from the bowl in his hand and put it on top of the rice.

"Squad leader!" The recruit was a little overwhelmed.

But his squad leader's face was now dark and frightening: "Do you think this is your home?"

"I heard the battalion commander say"

"Did I say that?" the squad leader glared at him. His words instantly startled many of the new recruits in the cafeteria.

Even at Chu An's table, Li Guoping also picked up a spoon.

"Squad leader, I...I want to help you with the food!"

Li Guoping looks silly, but now he is making full use of his brain.

"Yeah!" Lao Wang nodded expressionlessly.

Glancing at the other people in Class 4, he calmly picked up his bowl and looked at Li Guoping: "Why are you standing there? Aren't you supposed to help me get the food? Go ahead!"

After that, he looked at the others and said, "Let's eat!"

Immediately, everyone in Class 4 looked at each other, and no one moved until Li Guoping finished putting the food on the plate in front of Lao Wang and put down the spoon.

It was not until Lao Wang picked up the meat from the plate with his chopsticks that Chu An couldn't hold back first.

"Squad leader, shall I start eating?"

Chu An stood up and said something.

"Eat! They said dinner is ready!"

Immediately, Chu An no longer hesitated, walked forward, took the spoon and scooped the vegetables into the plate in front of him.

The other recruits also stood up silently and came over to take the spoon after Chu An finished beating.

At the same time, over at the Second Company, the new recruit who had been scolded had put down his bowl and chopsticks and started doing push-ups beside their table.

Not only him, there were at least seven or eight tables in the cafeteria where new recruits had put down their bowls and chopsticks and lay down.

There are more than one recruit like the one from the second company just now.

This is mainly because there were not so many rules before the classes and companies were divided.

At that time, the veteran squad leaders of each dormitory simply warned everyone to wait for the cadres' orders before eating.

So basically everyone can start eating after their respective recruiting officers give the order to eat.

Some new recruits are sensible and will rush to help the veteran squad leader serve food first.

But some recruits only care about themselves. As soon as they grab the spoon, they will be the first to eat it.

Before the classes were divided, the veteran squad leaders were all cheerful and easy to talk to even when they encountered such a situation.

But that obviously doesn't work today.

They have been divided into classes, so now the new recruits in their respective classes are their own soldiers.

Bad habits must not be tolerated.

What's more, this is an educational lesson.

By killing those chickens, we tell all the new recruits that the battalion commander is the boss, but you cannot ignore your squad leader either.

Next, the meal was a bit depressing.

Before we were divided into companies, the cafeteria was actually very lively during meal times, and everyone had smiles on their faces.

But all the new recruits who were eating this meal didn't dare to say a word.

In particular, there was a person in a certain class who was not afraid of death. He couldn't help but whispered something to the new recruit next to him while eating. After his squad leader slammed the table and warned him not to talk while eating or sleeping, everyone in the cafeteria tried to control the strength of the chopsticks hitting the bowls.

After five or six minutes, Lao Wang said, "I'll give you two more minutes. I'll put down the bowls and clear the table in two minutes." Then, a few students in the class who were slow eaters hurriedly sped up their swallowing.

The meal felt like going to a battlefield, very scary. Fortunately, nothing else happened until I finished the meal.

Everyone lined up and walked out of the cafeteria, then lined up outside the door. Led by their respective company commanders, they shouted one, two, one, and walked back in competition with the second company next to them.

At this moment, all the recruits don’t know is.

The two company instructors and the deputy company commander, as well as the political instructor and the battalion commander who were still in the cafeteria were surrounding the泔水袋 in the cafeteria.

"These guys, I told you, we definitely don't need to take action!"

You can see that there is not only rice but also a lot of potatoes in the泔水袋 in front of them.

Although people are generally not able to eat enough now.

But the general environment is the general environment, and there are always some individual families who can meet their basic food and drink needs under this general environment.

It is very normal for children from such families to be picky about food, to have the habit of throwing away food after taking extra because there are no more vegetables or because they cannot finish the food.

"It's a bit insufficient. Go to the kitchen and get some more. At least let everyone grab a handful!"
