Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Some Thoughts on Military Training
As someone who has been in sales for more than ten years, if there is a chance, if he wants to, he can get along with even the most difficult people in the world, not to mention these students in their twenties who have just entered university.
So when Yan Zhida returned, he saw the other five students gathered together in a harmonious scene, laughing and chatting. They were actually subtly centred around Feng Yiping. He then blamed the others as well. But if he really did that, he would be turning his back on the people. So he smiled and asked, 'What are you talking about? You're so happy.'
'You're back, we've been waiting for you, the opening ceremony will start soon,' Jin Bao said, 'hurry up!'
'Hurry up, Zhida,' Feng Yiping also stood up and said to him with a smile. He originally wanted to say "old two", but thought better of it. We are honest people, and it's no fun taking advantage of a young child.
'Okay,' Yan Zhida responded with a smile, as if the previous embarrassment had never happened.
The current opening ceremony is really unremarkable and still a formality. The leaders are still high on the podium, unlike almost all university opening ceremonies later on, where the leaders will speak with the students on an equal footing. It's the same as the first few items on the news broadcast: it sounds like there's a lot of information, but after listening, you'll feel that you just didn't listen and it doesn't really matter.
After all, it had been an hour of tossing and turning, and Feng Yiping hadn't heard anything he wanted to hear. The current president was a nuclear expert, and there had been no song about nuclear physics, which was very disappointing.
After looking at the afternoon schedule, Feng Yiping said hello and swaggered away again. Did he need to visit his own campus?
While waiting in line at the cafeteria, Yan Zhida asked with a smile, 'Do you think Lao Wu went to have a big meal by himself?'
The others didn't reply, 'Something must be up. Yong Gao said he came with his girlfriend at the beginning of the semester, so maybe his girlfriend is also at a nearby school,' Jin Bao said, a little puzzled as to why the second son was so obsessed with the fifth son.
As long as they are students, they will always have exams. After the military training uniforms were distributed, the English placement test was immediately followed. Feng Yiping knew that this test would only be slightly more difficult than the college entrance exam, so he didn't review at all in the past two days. As a result, he also handed in his test paper early. Judging from the strictness of the school's own marking, he might even get a higher score than in the college entrance exam.
That night, he stayed in the dormitory for the first time, and the next day, the ordeal of military training began. From 6:30 in the morning when they were required to do morning exercises to 10:00 at night when the lights were turned off, the instructors were with them almost the whole time.
Although it was said to be an ordeal, it was actually not a big deal for him. The military training in high school was really just a formality, but the military training before he started working was really up to standard. He remembered that the year after he returned home for the Chinese New Year, some people who didn't know him well asked Feng Zhenchang, 'Did your child go to the army?'
So this level of military training really wasn't a problem for him, even if the young instructors in charge of the training were strict.
However, just because he was fine as an individual didn't mean that the group was fine. For example, Feng Yiping suffered during formation training.
In particular, the tall, thin classmate with glasses to his left always had irregular arm movements when swinging his arms, habitually swinging them to the side, and with great force. His fists collided with Feng Yiping's a few times, which really hurt a little. Feng Yiping took a moment to laugh and glance over there, but he was met with a fierce glare. I guess he was still blaming Feng Yiping, heh heh, this kid.
Anyway, this was a small incident. Glasses had influenced two people around him. The attentive instructor noticed and helped him correct a few times. Then during the break, he made a special trip to apologise. That's a good boy.
After lunch, there was finally a two-hour break.
Before the break, there was one more important thing to do: wash your face. Not to mention the girls' dormitory, I guess some of the girls would have hated to wash off a layer of skin from their faces.
It was the same for the boys. As soon as Feng Yiping returned, he grabbed a basin and ran to the bathroom. Jin Bao followed him, wearing his T-shirt over his shoulders. Military training was the hardest for fat people like him. For example, his T-shirt was already soaked with sweat after just one morning.
'Fifth Brother, why do you use so much facial cleanser like a girl?'
'Exactly,' Liang Yonggao chimed in.
Lu Wenqing flipped open his towel to reveal what was underneath, 'What's this?'
'Haha,' Liang Yonggao turned his over and laughed, "You're the same,'
'I only bought it after seeing you guys use it,'
'I only bought it after seeing Yiping use it,'
'I'm not using it for myself, my parents want me to use it. My ancestors were poor peasants for three generations, and it was hard for me to be the only one with a little bit of fair skin. They don't want me to get tanned like them these days.'
'Haha," everyone laughed.
'Yiping, I think you could totally join the debate team,' Jin Bao said.
When you're not very good at humour, making fun of yourself is always a safe bet.
'Being a poor peasant for three generations is no longer something to be proud of. Besides, having a wheat-coloured complexion is the healthiest nowadays.' Yan Zhida always has his own opinions, and is washing his face with water over there, but Feng Yiping sees that his pockets are bulging.
'I prefer to be fair,' Liang Yonggao said, smearing the facial cleanser all over his face.
Han Guiliang had to wash his face with facial cleanser three times. "Tan skin? That's only popular in Europe and America,'
'I think so too. Those people in Europe and America like to go to the beach in the summer to tan in the sun. Here, we use umbrellas when the sun is strong," Lu Wenqing said.
Jin Bao really did wash his face with water all along, and now he took Feng Yiping's. 'I'll go buy some in the afternoon,'
Yan Zhida felt so frustrated.
This Feng Yiping is not as handsome as him (Feng Yiping expressed reservations), nor does he come from a better family (Feng Yiping could only laugh), and he is not as approachable as him (Feng Yiping strongly agreed with this), so how is he more popular than him?
When you want to appear approachable, you are actually already feeling a level above the people around you, and you are already somewhat alienated from the masses.
This is the case for all the talented people, who can't help but notice it.
Before afternoon training, Feng Yiping's sunscreen was also divided up. There was nothing to be done. After living together for a few days, everyone felt at ease with him. Yan Zhida had been secretly using it too. He had wanted to ask everyone to share his, but after saying what he had just said, it was obviously not a good idea to do so now. Anyway, he felt that Feng Yiping was once again putting him down.
During military training, the most relaxing time is when you can look at the female classmates during breaks. But to be honest, it's not easy to find highlights in the green field when wearing such a lame combat uniform and a cap.
Jin Bao, who always smiles, has good eyesight and is very sharp. During breaks, he is dedicated to this task. I heard that several departmental flowers have already been selected. Generally, Feng Yiping does not participate in discussions on this topic, but just smiles and drinks water on the side.
In the crowd, Liang Yonggao pointed at him and said with a smile, 'Fifth, are you not interested, or do you plan to be faithful to your girlfriend?'
'Hey, Fifth, after military training is over, bring your younger sister over for dinner,'
'Sure, no problem,' dealing with his roommate, Huang Jingping must be willing.
On the night before the end of military training, after the battalion and company had drawn conclusions, each department and faculty bid farewell to the instructors. The students were happy, but the usually stern young instructors were a little reluctant to leave. Feng Yiping thought to himself, perhaps it was because they were training people here, and when they returned to the army they would have to be trained again!
After the military training graduation ceremony, which was similar to a military parade, Feng Yiping's group life also came to an end. Of course, he still took the initiative to say goodbye to his tutor. The school did not really require this, and the tutor only told him to 'pay attention to attendance.'
He returned home happily, threw his suitcase behind the door, and shouted, 'I'm Hu Hansan, back again!'
Huh? No one's here. "Where did everyone go?" he muttered, unscrewing the bathroom door. He heard someone say, "Don't," from inside, but it was already too late.
Jin Ling bent over, her hands reaching forward, as if she were about to screw the bathroom door shut. Her red underwear was already up, but her pants were still on her knees. The two of them locked eyes, and Feng Yiping couldn't help but glance down. Damn, it looked like he could see a few mischievous ones poking out. Didn't he spend a few years in the United States? Didn't he clean up?
Of course Jin Ling noticed when he glanced down, and she, who was usually so composed, had never encountered such an embarrassing situation before. She didn't know what to do, and in that indecent position, no matter what she said, it wouldn't be appropriate. She turned around.
But before she could turn around, Feng Yiping turned first, mumbling, 'Where did everyone go?' and closed the door behind him.
