On the other side, Old Ma felt embarrassed after hearing Li He's words.
He felt that Li He was trying to comfort him by saying that. He had just told Li He about his relationship with Uncle Ho, which had established the image of an old class monitor in Li He's mind. Li He was instantly slapped in the face.
As an old class monitor, how could Old Ma not feel awkward when a recruit saw such an environment in the room?
However, he was thinking too much about this. Li He already knew about this, so he didn't have any other intentions. After all, he had watched so many television dramas, so he knew what Prairie Class 5 was like.
Li Mengren was the smart one among the people present. She could tell at a glance that Old Ma's expression was not right. Then, she looked at Li He and immediately understood," Old Wei, Xue Lin, what are you two doing?" Can't you see that there's a guest? Hurry up and pack up!"
"Ah! Yes, pack up."
"Immediately!"
Xue Lin and Ol 'Wei immediately understood what he meant. They quickly stood up and gathered the cards that were still on the table. One of them cleaned up the table, and the other went to empty the ashtray. The division of labor was clear.
Li Meng also quickly took a rag from another table to wipe the tables and chairs. Xu Sanduo saw that everyone in the class was busy. He looked around and picked up a broom from the corner to sweep the floor.
Seeing that everyone in the class had taken action, Old Ma's expression softened a little.
"Come, Li, sit here."
"No need, class monitor. You guys go ahead. I'll just stand here.”
"Why are you being polite? You must be tired from playing the game. Sit down and rest for a while. I'll get you a glass of water.”
Li Meng quickly said," Class monitor, you can just sit. There's no need to pour more water. I still have some in my kettle. Let me do it."”
Although he knew that Old Ma was a good person, he was still a recruit. How could he trouble Old Ma, the old monitor, to pour him water?
Old Ma was the one who had the least prejudice against the recruits. Li He still remembered that once, when the 5th squad came to Steel Seventh Company to look for Xu Sanduo, Old Ma asked where Xu Sanduo was. He saw Chen Cai, this recruit, calling him squad leader just to beg them to tell him where Xu Sanduo was.
Li He had nothing to say about Old Ma's character.
After Li He sat down and looked at the busy crowd, he couldn't help but feel a myriad of emotions. He didn't expect to have the opportunity to watch the scenes in the TV series personally.
According to the training requirements, after the line was set up, everyone would receive a call from the first position every hour. The soldiers at each sentry post had to reply to ensure that the communication device was fine.
After confirming that the route was correct again, all the sentries were ready to retrieve the double-tracked line.
Therefore, Li He only had less than an hour left in Class 5. It wouldn't be long before he had to return to the phone and wait for the notification.
After explaining the situation to Old Ma and the others, they expressed their understanding.
After a round of introductions, Li He took the initiative to give out cigarettes to everyone in the class. When Li Meng and the others saw that it was a good cigarette like Red River, they immediately felt that this recruit was very sensible.
Although Li He knew that Xu Sanduo didn't smoke, he still gave him one out of courtesy. Xu Sanduo took it and gave it to Old Ma. He apologized to him and said that he didn't smoke.
"Sanduo, how have you been in class five?”
Li He glanced at the watch hanging on the wall. There was still some time, so he could chat with him.
When he heard Li He ask this, Xu Sanduo revealed a simple and honest smile, revealing his big white teeth." I'm doing quite well here. I also heard from the instructor and Li Meng that although the work here is difficult, it's very meaningful.”
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Li He was interested. He handed the water that Old Ma had poured for him to Xu Sanduo and took out the water bottle that he had been carrying with him.
After Xu Sanduo took the water, he stole a glance at the old horse. After seeing the old horse nod, he dared to take a sip.
Ol 'Wei, Li Meng, and Xue Lin were also looking at Xu Sanduo with interest. They wanted to see what he would say about Prairie Class 5.
"I still remember that on the first day I came, Li Meng told me that the land under our feet was full of automated oil pipes. Our 702nd Regiment has many tanks, and they need to replenish fuel at any time during training. If there is any problem with the pipeline here, it will affect their training, so our existence is very meaningful.”
"He also said that glory comes from dullness, and difficulty comes from length. We have to devote our limited lives to unlimited careers. I think he said it very well.”
Xu Sanduo explained his understanding of class five, and Li He nodded repeatedly.
He knew the nature of Prairie Class 5, but he couldn't refute Xu Sanduo. He knew that Xu Sanduo still had a long way to go in the future. If he interfered too much now, it wouldn't affect him.
Li Meng, who had said these words, couldn't help but laugh after hearing it. She almost choked on her cigarette.
Old Wei and Xue Ling's eyes were also a little erratic, but from their expressions, it could be seen that they also thought that Xu Sanduo was a little too naive.
However, the honest Xu Sanduo did not notice this. It was rare for him to see someone he once knew, so he chattered non-stop to Li He. Li He was also considered to have a good temper. He cooperated with Xu Sanduo and kept nodding. From time to time, he would hum twice as a reply.
"Alright, alright, Sanduo. " Li He is already very tired after running for ten kilometers. Let him rest well. You should go outside and practice aiming first. Military training can't be skipped just because you see someone you know.”
Old Ma really couldn't listen to it anymore, and he didn't want to see the strange expressions of the others in the class, so he came over and sent Xu Sanduo away.
"Yes, sir!"
Xu Sanduo had always listened to the class monitor's words. He didn't think too much about it. After saluting, he turned around with his gun and prepared to practice his marksmanship.
Although there were no bullets in the gun, Xu Sanduo had always been serious about training.
After Xu Sanduo left, Old Ma opened the curtain and confirmed that he was practicing aiming. Then, he pulled Li He to the other side to talk.
"What's wrong? Squad Leader Ma."
Li He was a little confused by Old Ma's attitude.
"Squad Leader Ma, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't hide it.”
According to Li He's understanding of Old Ma, what he was going to say next was most likely related to Xu Sanduo.
When Old Ma heard Li He's words, he took a deep breath and said," Li, I have a principle of leading troops. I think the most important thing in a class gathering is not individual achievements, but the atmosphere of unity and harmony. Don't you think so?”
