Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Zheng Yilin is a stubborn person. He suffered a loss at the hands of Zeng Wangcai last time. Even though he was taught a lesson by his father, he was unwilling to admit defeat.

He joined the army not just for the sake of formality, but decided to develop in the army seriously. Once this stubborn person makes up his mind about something, there is no turning back.

Therefore, Zheng Yilin wanted to use training to teach Zeng Wangcai a lesson and let Zeng Wangcai know who is more powerful. Anyway, being caught fighting in the military camp is a big deal, and Zeng Wangcai has a guard with him, so he can't guarantee that he can win.

"A competition? What are we competing for?" Zeng Wangcai asked, leaning against a tree trunk, and at the same time slapped another mosquito to death.

"You can choose whatever you want!" Zheng Yilin said confidently, "Standing at attention, push-ups, three kilometers, or even housekeeping, as long as you dare to compete, it's all fine!"

"What's the bet?" Zeng Wangcai asked again.

"It's up to you."

"let me see......"

It just so happened that Zeng Wangcai also wanted to have a good time in the army. Even if he didn't want to get promoted, at least he could have a body as strong as steel, which would be useful after he got married, right?

But after three or four days of training, Zeng Wangcai discovered that willpower is not something you can just say you have. It is not a problem to train it by training with the recruit company, but it is difficult to become a top student.

He also thought about practicing more, but his body just couldn't keep up with his brain. It was just like watching videos in his previous life. His brain told him that it was poisonous and to stop, but his fingers still slid up one by one with a silly smile on his face.

If I agree to Zheng Yilin's bet, then no one will dare to relax easily. In the competition, they will become each other's whetstones...

"Okay, but let's go big." Zeng Wangcai stood up and said, "Let's go back to the barracks. Let's find the squad leader to be a witness and let the whole class witness it. Meanwhile, I want to think of something to bet on."

"Zeng Wangcai, this is the first time I find you pleasing to the eye." Zheng Yilin nodded and said, "You are afraid that I will default on my debt, but I am also afraid that you will default on your debt. Let's go."

Then, the three of them returned to the barracks together.

The barracks of the recruit company is a simple building. The dormitory of Class 1 is on the first floor. The room is not big and the windows are small, so the ventilation is very poor.

As soon as he entered the house, Zeng Wangcai almost fell over because of the suffocation, which was full of the smell of feet.

The recruit company also has housekeeping training. The rooms are cleaned, the beds are made, and various items are neatly arranged, but this does not mean that the smell can be completely eliminated.

After a day of training, the recruits are all covered in sweat, and the stench from their feet cannot be covered up even if they are wearing shoes.

As he entered the house, Zeng Wangcai happened to see a classmate taking a pair of smelly socks to wash, so he quickly stepped aside. When he saw the socks, he had an idea in his mind.

"Squad leader!" Zeng Wangcai found Wan Youcai who was serious.

Wan Youcai, born in the countryside, is an old soldier. He is not very good at speaking, but has very strong military capabilities.

"What's the matter? Why don't you take a shower?"

"Don't rush to take a shower. Comrade Zheng Yilin and I are planning to have a competition..."

Zeng Wangcai immediately told Zheng Yilin about the agreement he had made, but he did not use the word "competition" that Zheng Yilin used, instead.

Wan Youcai nodded happily: "Very good, soldiers should have this kind of enthusiasm, everyone come over and learn from Comrade Zeng Wangcai and Comrade Zheng Yilin, they plan to compete in training..."

Just as Zeng Wangcai expected, the troops were happy to see this happen.

Zeng Wangcai added: "In order to make the game more interesting, we decided that whoever loses will wash the other person's socks... The deadline is the entire recruit company period."

You have to compare and wash every day.

Well, if you don't want to wash, you have to work hard every day.

Washing socks is not a big deal, it's just right for making a bet. If other bets are bigger, it would be impossible to ask people in the class to witness it, it would be wrong and not allowed.

Zeng Wangcai had observed that Zheng Yilin was good in training and life, except that he didn't like washing clothes. It just so happened that he himself couldn't stand the smell of other people's socks.

Zheng Yilin's face turned green when he heard this: "Hey, can you change it? Washing socks is so disgusting!"

It’s not disgusting, I’m not playing yet!

Zeng Wangcai said to Wan Youcai with a smile: "Squad leader, what do you think? It didn't violate the rules, did it?"

"No, very good. I'll make the decision for you. Just wash your socks!" Wan Youcai made the decision. "You two are competing for a month, right? All training items are included, right? Then let's start from tomorrow. Tomorrow morning's three kilometers is one. Whoever runs faster wins. For the rest of the training, I'll be the referee."

There is a running track on the playground. One lap is 400 meters. Three kilometers requires seven and a half laps, but usually people run eight laps. People nowadays don’t care about that half lap.

In terms of time, the company's target is that everyone must run within 13 minutes and 20 seconds.

The standards are different in different eras. Although people nowadays are not as tall as those in later generations, their physical fitness is actually not bad. The recruits can basically meet this standard after only four days of training.

In the first company of recruits, the guy with the best three-kilometer performance was from the second platoon and third squad. He was able to run within 12 minutes and had already been praised by the company commander Zhu Wei.

Zeng Wangcai did not know how big the difference was between the current military standards and those of future generations. He only knew that his own level was not good. He could barely run three kilometers in 14 minutes, while Zheng Yilin could run around 13 minutes, almost one minute ahead of Zeng Wangcai.

"Haha, get ready to wash your socks!" Zheng Yilin smiled proudly, did some chest expansion exercises, and then went out for training.

The agreement has been made and it cannot be changed now even if we want to, and Zeng Wangcai does not intend to change it.

He thinks that all men need to be pushed. If they don’t push themselves, they won’t know how fast they are (slow is also OK).

"Brother, do you really want to compete?" On the playground, Zeng Wangcai and Xiao Bao returned to the tree.

As a true fan of Zeng Wangcai, Xiaobao knows the level of his big brother, because they have been together throughout the training in the past few days.

Looking at Zheng Yilin jogging on the playground, Xiaobao said again: "That guy is very good at running, brother, don't lose."

"If you lose, you lose. You can win it back later." Zeng Wangcai said quietly, "But who knows if you don't give it a try?"

The two were talking, and after a while they saw Wan Youcai running over happily.

Wan Youcai said that he reported this to the company commander, and the company commander and the instructor were very happy. They decided to inform the whole company during the morning exercises tomorrow, so that the whole company could learn from the two people's spirit of hard work...

And, tomorrow will witness the first match between the two of them.

Before we knew it, the entire company was broadcasting.

After Wan Youcai left, Zeng Wangcai thought for a moment and said, "Xiaobao, you will run ahead of us tomorrow. You run faster than any of us. I know you usually accompany me, but you don't have to tomorrow. You will run ahead of us as fast as you can. Run as fast as you can in your own way..."

Finding someone to break the wind isn't considered cheating, right?

Also, is it cheating to replenish energy gels in advance?

night!

Zeng Wangcai entered the space to look for energy gel.

The next morning, the playground.

Company commander Zhu Wei gave a speech, and then the instructor continued with the speech. Just as Wan Youcai said, the two of them announced the training and competition between Zeng Wangcai and Zheng Yilin to the entire company and called on everyone to learn from them.

After that, morning exercise training began.

"Old Zhu, it looks like these two are at odds with each other. Nothing will happen, right?" Chen Deliang, who knew the inside story, said as he looked at Zeng Wangcai and Zheng Yilin's backs.

"What can happen?" Zhu Wei put his hands on his hips, "The old commander has already said that we don't need to take care of them during their time in the recruit company. If they are not cut out to be soldiers, then there is no need to bother with them.

"I don't know why the old leader took a fancy to Zeng Wangcai. He ran three kilometers in 14 minutes. Even a bear is faster than him..."
