My Military Career in a Parallel World

Li Gang's footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor.

No one was restrained. Although they were still working with their hands, everyone's mouths were busy.

"Fatty Sun, tell me what you were thinking at that time? Li Hei asked you to eat it, and you really picked it up and ate it?!"

"Hey, it's okay to eat something dirty. My grandma has always told me to cherish food. As long as it doesn't end up in the garbage or toilet, it's fine."

Sun Weichen waved his hand indifferently.

With the army's abnormal hygiene standards, the ground was at most a little dust from what they brought in. In the past, when he was in his hometown, he would eat things that fell on the dirt, let alone now.

For Sun Weichen, this is no big deal.

"Okay, you're awesome, I admire you!"

Speaking of this, the topic inevitably turns to another incident that happened in the cafeteria before.

"Hey, what do you think the company commander and his men are going to do with that new recruit?"

"He won't be sent back to his hometown, right?!"

"I don't know, but I shouldn't be expelled directly. The army is not like other places. You can come and go as you please."

"I don't think it's that serious. At most, he'll be put in solitary confinement and asked to write a self-criticism or something like that."

"I can only say that this guy is really brave. When I was scolded by the squad leader, I didn't dare to say a word, but he just smashed the bowl and dared to point at the squad leader's nose and scold him..."

Jiang Chen interrupted them as they were talking nonsense. "Don't talk nonsense. We only have 20 minutes. Let's clean up quickly. Don't wait for the squad leader to come back and scold us again."

"Also, let's not learn from him. What kind of a place is the army? Unless you are willing to go home with a reputation as a deserter who refuses to do military service, otherwise, if you really learn from Li Hei Lian and his group of old soldiers and become as brainless and foolish as him, Li Hei Lian will kill you!"

After he said this, several people reacted.

We are not fools. We can figure it out with a little brainpower. Just look at the true colors of those veteran squad leaders revealed this morning.

After he said those words in the cafeteria, even if he could stay in the end, would those veterans give him an easy time when he returned to class?

He's lucky not to be killed!

Especially the three people who had been given a cold shower by Li Gang early in the morning, they couldn't help but shudder when they thought of this.

Early in the morning, when I was sleeping soundly, someone poured a basin of cold water on my head. Only those who have experienced it know how exciting it is.

One time is enough, they don't want to be woken up like this every day...

Twenty minutes passed quickly as we worked and chatted.

Li Gang returned to the dormitory on time as if he had a stopwatch on his leg.

"Well, it's cleaned up pretty well."

Hearing that their work was recognized, Jiang Chen and the others couldn't help but show joy on their faces.

However, after only a few seconds of joy, everyone saw Li Gang take out a pair of white gloves from somewhere.

"It does look quite clean, but whether it really meets the standards or not, we won't know until we try it!" As he put the white gloves on his hands, a cunning look flashed in Li Gang's eyes.

The cleanliness standards in the military are not easy to achieve.

His fingers lightly brushed the edge of the door frame, and as expected, the pure white gloves were stained with a hint of gray and black.

"What are you looking at? How do you clean it? Take the rag and wipe it from top to bottom again!"

I walked to the closet and opened a cabinet at random, and the familiar roar sounded again.

"Whose clothes are these?! What a mess they are! If you do that again, I'll just throw them into the toilet!"

As his footsteps continued, Li Gang's roar spread throughout the third floor of the dormitory building. The roar coming from dormitory 306 could be heard from several rooms away.

"Don't you have eyes? You can't see the dust in the corner!"

"Also, what's wrong with this floor? Who mopped it? It's so wet. If someone walks on it, there will be footprints!"

"Whose bed is this! What did I say this morning? The outer edge of the bed sheet should be flush with the edge of the bed. Check to see if it is flush!!"

"Keep your heels at the same level, are you blind?!"

"Also, all the toothbrushes are facing the same direction, and the items are neatly arranged from large to small. Don't you understand what I'm saying?!!"

The recruits stood in a row with their heads down, ready to face the fierce attack from the squad leader.

Listening to Li Gang's scolding, finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore.

"Squad leader, this request is too abnormal! We have to clean under the bed. If we do this, let alone 20 minutes, even an hour won't be enough!" Chu Fei, who was responsible for cleaning dead corners, immediately complained.

When he started cleaning, he divided the work with Li Qiang.

Li Qiang is tall, so he is responsible for the high places such as door frames and window sills, while Chu Fei is responsible for cabinet doors, drawers and other places.

Jiang Chen, who was in charge of mopping the floor, was also a bit annoyed by what he said and couldn't help but echoed, "Yes, squad leader, the floor was just mopped, so it must be a little wet. It will be dry in a few minutes!"

He knew that the military's hygiene standards were high, but he didn't expect them to be so outrageous!

Upon hearing this, others also began to complain.

What everyone wants to say is actually similar, they all say that the hygiene standards are too high, 20 minutes is not enough, etc...

"Shut up!" Li Gang was a little annoyed by the noise and glared at everyone. After everyone quieted down, he said calmly, "If twenty minutes is not enough, then half an hour. If half an hour is not enough, then an hour. We have plenty of time this morning. As long as you don't mind being tired, you can spend the whole morning cleaning up!"

After saying that, he looked at Chu Fei who spoke first: "I'm talking about all the sanitary blind spots! It includes under the bed and even in the gaps. Do you understand?!"

Feeling a little nervous when being stared at by Li Gang, Chu Fei quickly nodded to show that he understood.

Li Gang then looked at Jiang Chen again: "I want the floor to be dry right after mopping, not to wait a few minutes before doing it!"

Well! What else can he say? Just keep working.

Everyone started working again. This time, Jiang Chen didn't even use a mop. He just used a rag and knelt on the ground to wipe it inch by inch.

He still didn't believe it. If he wiped it like this, what fault could Li Gang find?

The same thing happened to everyone else, who started cleaning up again according to their previous division of labor.

The only difference is that before they could chat while working, but now Li Gang is watching them from the side. Not to mention chatting, if they don't do their job well, he will immediately scold them.

Half an hour later, after repeated rework, the dormitory hygiene finally reached the so-called standard of Li Gang.

Looking at the newly renovated dormitory, Li Gang nodded with satisfaction, and then said something that made everyone shudder: "Well, from now on, the dormitory hygiene will be based on today!"

Looking at the floor that he had wiped so clean that it was almost glistening, Jiang Chen thought that he might as well go barefoot into the dormitory next time.

Otherwise, with this perverted standard, even if he knelt on the ground wiping it for 24 hours a day, he would still not be able to keep up with the speed of dirtiness...

The expressions of the others were similar.

With Li Gang's words as a basis, anyone who dares to mess around in the dormitory will definitely be knocked down on the spot by others...

Li Gang did not forget what he had said before. After cleaning the dormitory, he immediately led everyone downstairs to clean the environment.

Fortunately, the environmental sanitation standards are not as abnormal as those in the dormitory. Generally, it is just sweeping leaves and pulling weeds.

However, low standards do not mean that it is easier.

If they were allowed to choose, everyone would probably be more willing to clean up the dormitory.

The weather in September was hot at noon, and the sun was high overhead, making people dizzy. Not to mention working, just standing outside could feel the heat coming towards you, and you would sweat in a few minutes...

Also, where is this place?

Recruit camp!

Throughout the year, except for the past few months, there is no one around most of the time. The weeds near the barbed wire fence are almost more than a person tall!

This is because this place is close to the regiment headquarters, and from time to time there are troops coming to help clean up. In addition, the area within a radius of dozens of miles is a military restricted area, and ordinary people cannot approach. If it were left outside, I dare not say anything about other things, but just the feces, urine and cigarette butts hidden somewhere are enough to keep them busy.

More than a hundred people worked for two or three hours and finally managed to ensure the environmental sanitation of the camp.

After returning to the dormitory, everyone was exhausted after working outside for a whole morning, and some of the new recruits subconsciously wanted to lie down on the bed.

"What?!"

"Forgot what I told you last night?!"

"Except for bedtime, you are not allowed to lie down or sit on the bed!"

Fortunately, Luo Ming acted quickly enough. As soon as Li Gang finished speaking, he stopped lying down.

If you really lie on the bed, the consequence will not be as simple as a mild scolding. At the very least, you will be punished to stand for more than an hour.

"It's a five-minute break. After you've rested, go to the bathroom and take care of yourself. Gather for lunch at 12 o'clock." Looking at his watch, Li Gang gave the order.

"Yes..." Everyone responded weakly, only to be met with Li Gang's sharp gaze.

Everyone had to cheer up and shouted, "Yes!"

Li Gang nodded with satisfaction, picked up the small yellow basin beside him and left the dormitory.

They took out small stools and sat down against the bed to rest. Some people, seeing the squad leader leave, simply lay down on the ground, where their backs could be kept cooler by touching the tiles.

The others followed suit and stopped sitting on the small stools. After all, sitting is not as comfortable as lying down.

Jiang Chen lay on the ground, and when the heat in his body subsided a little, he stood up.

"Brother Chen, where are you going?" Zhang Meng next to him asked curiously.

"Go to the bathroom and clean up. There will be a lot of people here later. It won't be too late to come back and rest after you're done cleaning up." Jiang Chen said without turning his head, picking up the small yellow basin and taking the towel.

"Wait a minute, I'll go too!" Upon hearing that, Zhang Meng quickly got up from the ground.

"Hey, Qiangzi, why don't we go too?" Chu Fei turned his head and looked at Li Qiang beside him.

"Forget it. When the squad leader comes back soon, he will definitely not let me lie on the ground. I'd better lie down for a while..." Li Qiang answered weakly, turning over and putting his face on the ground.

"That makes sense. I want to lie down for a while, too."

Including today, these new recruits have only met each other for two days, and everyone subconsciously chooses to try to get along with similar people first.

Jiang Chen and Zhang Meng knew each other on the military card, not to mention they slept on bunk beds.

Chu Fei and Li Qiang, one lives in Beijing and the other is a genuine Northeastern man. Their beds are next to each other, so they naturally get together.

Zhou Xinghai and He Wenjie, the only two southerners in the dormitory, need no further explanation.

Zhao Feihang and Lin Wenbo are even better friends, like one person.

The only unexpected ones were Sun Weicheng and Luo Ming.

One is tall, the other is short; one is fat, the other is thin. They seem to have nothing in common, but they can actually play together.

By the way, I would like to mention here that Luo Ming and Jiang Chen are both from Qin Province.

However, although the two are from the same province, their living habits are completely different.

Jiang Chen and his friends' living habits are a little bit north of Guanzhong. They live in cave dwellings and eat noodles. Luo Ming, on the other hand, is just the opposite. He lives more southerly and his living habits are closer to those of Sun Weicheng, the little fat guy from Sichuan Province.

Ten people formed five small groups, all trying their best to adapt to the life in the army.

At exactly twelve o'clock, the team, led by the squad leaders, arrived at the canteen entrance on time.

Without Ge Hongtao, the sixth guy, fanning the flames, the three platoon leaders did not make things difficult for everyone. After singing "Unity is Strength" twice, they felt that it was enough and let them go to the cafeteria to eat.

There was no duty for lunch, so everyone carried their own trays and served themselves some food.

For lunch, we had rice and a variety of dishes, four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes, as well as tomato and egg soup, and some fruit after the meal.

What made everyone even happier was that although there was a set time for lunch, it was only fifteen minutes, which was much more than the five minutes in the morning.

After everyone had finished their meals, Li Gang asked Li Qiang to go to the steamer and take out the leftover buns and eggs from the morning.

As the order to eat was given, the only sound left in the cafeteria was the sound of chopsticks hitting plates.

Although the lunch break lasted ten minutes longer than the morning break, the events of the morning were still fresh in everyone's mind. No one dared to relax, and everyone was busy eating. Not to mention chatting, they didn't even have time to look up...

As for wasting, I dare not do that.

There was not a single grain of rice left on the plate except bones and vegetable soup.

The deterrent effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey is fully revealed at this moment.

When getting food, everyone would rather get less than more.

Although this might not fill you up, it's better than getting scolded or choking to death...

No one caused any trouble anymore. After dinner, everyone cleaned up the tables and plates, and lined up outside the cafeteria to take their food back.

When I returned to the dormitory, I looked at the time and it was 12:25. There were still two hours and fifteen minutes before the afternoon exercise class.

According to the description on the schedule, this period should be considered lunch break.

However, Li Gang obviously would not really let everyone sleep.

"Take out your quilts and continue practicing folding them!"

"report!"

"speak!"

"Squad leader, isn't it lunch time now?"

There are always some stubborn ones who can't help but jump out and try to resist.

Unfortunately, no matter how many times they tried, they could not succeed.

"Who has the final say, me or you?!" Li Gang said indifferently, glancing at Chu Fei.

"Of course you have the final say, squad leader!"

After what happened in the morning, Chu Fei was completely convinced. He showed no temper at all when facing Li Gang and immediately became timid when he was glanced at.

Jiang Chen was also a little puzzled. Wasn't this guy very tough at the time? He was ready to fight with Li Dahei, so what happened now? He was defeated by 100 push-ups? This shouldn't be the case...
