Chapter 10 Split Up
However, since Commander Gao Cheng had yet to say anything, everyone sat down in a dignified manner. No one picked up their chopsticks. The current them was a world of difference from the beginning. The basic discipline and rules were deeply rooted in their hearts and remembered at all times.
When Li He observed everyone from a new perspective, he found it funny. On the surface, everyone was calm and chatting happily, but their eyes could not help but drift to the food on the table from time to time.
Gao Cheng clapped his hands and stood up. He probably saw through everyone's desire.
"Everyone!"
Everyone immediately stopped talking and sat up straight to look at Gao Cheng. The entire cafeteria was so silent that even a pin drop could be heard.
Gao Cheng was secretly happy in his heart. He was very satisfied with everyone's current performance. At least they did not relax their discipline just because they were about to go to the lower company.
"I know that everyone is hungry now, so I won't say much. Everyone, pick up your wine glasses and have a drink together. Then, everyone can start eating.”
It had to be said that there was one good thing about the army at this time, which was that they were allowed to drink.
Li He had heard from the instructor that drinking was allowed in the army before, but it was suddenly banned. He didn't know what happened exactly.
Although drinking was allowed, platoon leader Zhou Junjie had told everyone in advance that everyone could only drink two bottles of beer at most during the recruit company's meal. As for how much alcohol they could spend in the guest house when they went to the lower company in the future, that was their own business.
Gao Cheng rolled up his sleeves and poured himself a full glass of beer.
Everyone followed him and filled their glasses.
Li He's alcohol tolerance wasn't very good, so he was careful and only poured himself half a glass.
Although He Hongtao was an instructor and his job was almost a civilian one, he looked chubby and looked very refined with his glasses. However, he was still very straightforward when it came to drinking. He also poured himself a full glass.
"Good! Then let's all have a drink together. I wish all the new recruits comrades here a great show of strength and strive to become outstanding soldiers. Cheers!”
As Gao Cheng finished his speech, all the recruits shouted in unison,""Cheers!"
A deafening sound rang out.
This was already the first batch of recruits that Gao Cheng had brought. Every time he looked at these energetic young people, he could not help but feel a surge of emotion. He could not help but think of when he was still a recruit.
After Gao Cheng and He Hongtao finished their drinks, everyone followed suit and took a sip.
Li He saw that everyone around him was drinking with their necks raised and no one noticed him. He secretly poured some of the wine in his glass onto the ground, leaving only a sip, pretending to finish it in one gulp.
When everyone put down their glasses, he pretended to shout," Awesome!”To prove that he had drunk.
Suddenly, Li He realized that Zhang Enci was looking at him with a resentful expression. His face was delicate and pitiful, and it looked quite disgusting.
"What are you doing? Don't be so horny!"
"F * ck you, you're the one who's just turned on, look for yourself!”
Zhang Enci moved his leg and kicked Li He.
Li He then lowered his head to take a look." F * ck, why is it all on your feet?”
This was a good opportunity to extort people, so how could Zhang Enci let it go? He leaned over to Li He's ear." Brother Li, we're brothers. We'll settle the score. We'll say it once and say it twice. We have to settle this score!"”
“艹!”
Li He looked at him with a surprised expression." Calculating? What debt? Just wipe it with a rag. It's not a big deal!”
Li He deliberately changed the topic and asked the obvious. He was sure that Zhang Enci definitely did not mean that. This kid definitely did not have good intentions.
Zhang Enci continued in a low voice,"It's such an important gathering. You can skip anything, but you definitely shouldn't skip the wine."
Li He knew that Zhang Enci was prepared to use this matter to extort a sum of money from him." Tell me, what's the condition?”
"A bag of Tashan."
"You're robbing me!"
"Then exchange it for a pack of Red River."
"A pack of Spring City, do you want it or not?”
"Alright, alright, alright. I'll listen to you. Spring City it is.”
After reaching a consensus with Zhang Enci, Li He couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that he had to find an opportunity to practice his alcohol tolerance in the future. He felt a little unsociable when he was a soldier but did not know how to drink!
Just now, Zhang Enci wanted to take the opportunity to extort a pack of Tashan. That was really asking for an exorbitant price. A pack of Tashan was ten yuan. Their monthly allowance as a conscript was only one to two hundred yuan. It was really quite extravagant to smoke cigarettes that cost ten yuan.
Every time he thought of this, Li He would sigh. Later, when he was hospitalized, Xu Sanduo gave him 3,000 yuan. One could imagine how long it would take for him to save up. Although he had already become a sergeant at that time, his salary was not that high.
One had to know that Xu Sanduo's family was in trouble at that time. He borrowed 200,000 yuan from Yuan Lang. He told Xu Baishun over the phone that he would need to pay back 17 years with his salary.
What kind of concept was that? It was equivalent to him being a special forces soldier in Old A. His monthly salary was equivalent to 900 yuan. It was very low from the current point of view, but under the purchasing standards at that time, this salary was considered very good to live in his hometown.
The dinner party lasted for nearly an hour. This was already the longest time they had spent eating.
Usually, the training was intense, and the time for a meal was usually five to six minutes. He also took the dishes and immediately returned to the barracks after he was done.
After returning to the dormitory, Li He washed up and lay on the bed, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
He knew that there would definitely be many people who couldn't sleep tonight. They were all nervous and excited because of the next day's event.
At some point, Li He had fallen asleep. When he woke up again, he was already blowing his wake up whistle.
Since today was the day to go to the next company, everyone's task was to clean up the barracks after getting up, so they did not organize morning exercises.
After breakfast, Li He sat quietly on his bed. He had already tidied up his blanket and mattress. The next step was to wait for the notice and wait for their turn to go to the storage room to get their own luggage.
At nine o'clock in the morning, everyone lined up in the center of the field. There were five cars parked neatly on the field: a bus, a small car, and three military transport vehicles.
At first, Li He was relatively calm. It was only when Gao Cheng began to read out the bus that everyone was going to take next that he became nervous.
Although he had always thought that it didn't matter if he was assigned to the company, he had already entered the world of soldiers 'assault. He had fantasized about being assigned to the Steel Seventh Company.
