At half past nine, the car finally arrived at the designated training base.
The freshmen who had been complaining in the car just now got off the bus one after another. Although everyone complained about the military training, no matter how much they complained, they could not hide their excitement and anticipation for college life, the future, and the military training.
Everyone gathered together and chattered, full of curiosity about the training base.
Looking at the soldiers coming and going, wearing military uniforms and camouflage, they pointed and talked excitedly, and began to comment openly, saying that some were handsome, some had well-developed muscles, or were full of strength.
Some girls even started to have sex with the soldiers on the spot.
Ye Feiyu held Wen Xinya's hand and chattered non-stop: "Xinya, what should I do? I think every soldier here is so handsome, with strong and stylish looks, upright and strong bodies, and strong muscles. They look so safe!"
Wen Xinya was quite speechless, although she also thought they were handsome: "Don't complain, can't go online, can't play games?"
Ye Feiyu laughed and said, "Who would have the mood to play games when there are handsome guys to watch?"
Wen Xinya complained silently, wondering who was in the car just now. Because he couldn't play games, he looked like he had lost his parents.
Ye Feiyu sighed slightly: "However, the conditions here are really bad."
Wen Xinya felt the same way. In addition to a few old buildings, she actually saw two rows of tin houses. These tin houses were obviously newly built, probably to facilitate military training.
However, she heard that the tin house was so hot in the summer that people could not stay there, and so cold in the winter that people could not sleep.
I don’t know if Xu Chenyu has ever lived in a tin house.
The military training instructor negotiated with the soldiers in the base, and soon a young soldier in camouflage uniform led a large group of freshmen, as if they were on an autumn outing, to their accommodation.
The accommodation conditions in the base were not very good. The houses were old and probably built decades ago. They were only four stories high, with rows of rectangular rooms that were exactly the same in size and layout, which made the freshmen feel disappointed and complain.
After entering the room, all I saw was the bed, nothing else.
A girl couldn't help but screamed, "No way, people can still live here like this, are you kidding me? We are here for military training, not to be prisoners."
"The accommodation here is too bad! There's not even a toilet. Do we have to go to the public bathroom to take a shower?"
"There's not even a table to put things on. It's not that outrageous, is it? Is this really how soldiers live? Aren't they deliberately making things difficult for us freshmen?"
The instructor was a woman in her twenties, surnamed Mu. She looked ordinary, but had a serious demeanor. "That's right. Now that you've entered the training base, you should treat yourselves as prisoners and be obedient during this four-week military training."
The counselor's authority shocked a group of restless freshmen.
Teacher Mu continued, "There are restrooms on every floor. As for the bathrooms, there are public bathrooms on the first floor. I have already talked to the commander of the base and reserved two bathrooms for girls only. This is the best benefit for you."
“This is still the best benefit…” Some freshmen murmured in dissatisfaction but did not dare to speak out loudly.
Teacher Mu didn't care. Most of the students who could afford to study at Beijing University and pay the expensive tuition fees came from relatively well-off families. These students had been spoiled since childhood and had never experienced such hardships, so it was reasonable for them to complain.
However, I have the energy to complain now, but in a few days I won’t even have the energy to complain.
So, Teacher Mu said, "Don't complain about the poor conditions. The soldiers in the base all live like this. They train in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. When they finish training, they are exhausted. After taking a shower, they almost fall into bed and fall asleep. Do you think that spoiled ladies like you have to do facial masks at night and use tables to display your cosmetics?"
Mr. Mu's speech made the freshmen blush and unable to say a word.
Wen Xinya looked around the whole room and couldn't help but sigh slightly. Even she hadn't expected that the actual living environment of the soldiers was so simple that it couldn't be any simpler. To say that the environment was poor was not an exaggeration at all.
Thinking of Xu Er, when he first arrived in the Northwest, how could such a spoiled person endure such an environment, living in a big dormitory and eating in a big pot...
Seeing that everyone stopped complaining like before, Teacher Mu couldn't help but say earnestly, "We are only in military training for a month. No matter how hard or tiring it is, it is only for a month. Think about those soldiers. They are sacrificing their lives for this country. Aren't they more tired and miserable than us?"
These words made many people feel ashamed.
This directly hits the current situation of the soldiers. Everyone has been affected to some extent, and some of their values, outlook on life and world view have also undergone subtle changes.
Teacher Mu saw all of this and nodded secretly. Although this group of freshmen are a little pampered, they are still quite conscious.
At this time, a young soldier came over and said, "Counselor Mu, the battalion commander asked me to inform you that there will be a mobilization meeting in the cafeteria at ten o'clock. Please be sure to tidy up your room before ten o'clock and then gather in the cafeteria."
The little soldier stood straight, looked straight ahead, and spoke in a serious and solemn manner.
"No way! We're supposed to gather at ten o'clock, and it's already ninety-four and five minutes. How are we going to organize it in only fifteen minutes? Isn't this clearly making things difficult for us?"
"I'm already exhausted from the car ride. I haven't even had a chance to catch my breath, but we're already gathering. Do we still want to live?"
"The base commander really treats us as his soldiers."
Various complaints were heard everywhere.
Teacher Mu said sternly, "The mobilization meeting is just a meeting. It won't take up too much of your time. Military training will be arranged tomorrow. After the mobilization meeting, everyone will have plenty of time to rest. It's 9:47 now. There are still 13 minutes before the gathering. If you have time to complain here, you might as well pack up your things as soon as possible. Don't think it's okay to be late. Since you have come to the base, you should have a sense of being a "soldier."
Teacher Mu's gaze fell on a few students who were carrying their belongings to choose their dormitories.
Finally, he paused on Wen Xinya for half a second, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Under the guidance of the counselor, the class monitor, deputy class monitor, and league secretary helped arrange the new students' check-in. Although everyone had some complaints and dissatisfaction, their personal qualities were pretty good, and Teacher Mu saved himself a lot of trouble.
