Chapter 108: Military Training (2/2)
Although he was not allowed to bring food, Chen Suling brought him a little dried jerky, and told him: ”When you go, share it with your classmates. Get along with your classmates, and call me if you need anything. Also remember to take time off if you feel uncomfortable, your body’s health is more important, okay?”
Tang Jinyu nodded, put on a uniform outfit issued by the school and saluted them, then smiled and waved his hand in.
Tang Hongjun and Chen Suling had been standing outside the school gate and looked at him. They were really reluctant, and went back until their child disappeared and was integrated into a freshman team.
Tang Jinyu heard Xia Ye talk about his participation in military training, but there was a slight difference between the north and the south. The north requires more than ten days of military training, and the intensity was also high. While his current school can be completed in only four days, it was relatively easy.
Two days after the military training, he was calm and relaxed. On the third day, Tang Jinyu had a heatstroke, and he reported to the instructor and asked for leave to sit in the shade of the tree for a while.
A school doctor came to give them Huoxiang Zhengqi water, and some of the boys and girls sitting beside them were drinking while pinching their noses, and some of them made a bitter face after taking a sip. They really couldn't drink this thing.
Tang Jinyu drank a little bit with a straw, but he made no response.
The school doctor saw this, and pointed at him and said: ”Look at this classmate, everyone, this is your role model, it’s just some medicine, is that so hard?”
A guy saw him, and closed his eyes and did the same as Tang Jinyu, he felt bored. Although his mouth felt uncomfortable, his head was indeed not as dizzy as before. It is still useful to get rid of the heat.
A person in the same class sat beside him and asked in a low voice, Tang Jinyu had a good temper and smiled: ”I have been drinking medicine since I was a kid and I am used to it.”
The classmate stared at him with a stunned smile, scratched his head and said, ”I can't see it, looking at it now… seems good.”
Tang Jinyu nodded: ”Yeah, it's better now.”
He took too much medicine. He grew up in a big medicine jar, but he still likes to run and jump. He laughs and smiles when he sees people, and he doesn't seem sick.
After sitting for a while, feeling his body recovered, Tang Jinyu stood back in the team.
This time they kept going until the afternoon, and he also played a song with everyone in military training. When it was his turn to compete with the next class, Tang Jinyu was right in tune. The instructor told him to take the lead and he completely suppressed the next class.
The class next door was not convinced, and took advantage of their break time to compete again, and found a female classmate who sang well.
The female classmate has a good voice, and she looks like a pure little beauty. She has a small face with big eyes. After singing, she raised her chin and asked, ”Do you still have a show in your class?”
Wherever he was willing to admit defeat, he immediately selected a boy from his class to challenge. The boys also sang, but this time they also brought a tune. Tang Jinyu picked two leaves from the tree beside him and gave it to him with his fingers. After playing a minor tune and putting on a little music, it was much better than the class next door.
In addition, the boy's voice was already loud enough to overwhelm the crowd, not only the next class, but also with the competition with other classes.
When he sang, Tang Jinyu sat cross-legged in the first row to ”accompaniment” him. Sometimes he didn't listen to the other party's popular songs, so he just played along. The boys followed him out of tune. The two boys dared each other to sing and the other dared to play, which made everybody on the scene laugh together.
The instructors almost couldn’t stop laughing, coughed, and praised them: ”Anyway, the courage is commendable!”
With the last day of training left, the instructor selected a few students who performed well to go shooting. Tang Jinyu had taken a break from a mild heatstroke before and was not selected.
He already guessed this himself, and didn't take it to heart. The people who didn’t get picked stayed with their squad leader. Tang Jinyu was the temporary squad leader of their squad. He took everyone to find a shade of the tree to stand for a while, then to dissolve and rest on time, and a small half of the people who went to the target shooting, and there was a lot of space around them, and they were also very particularly laid-back.
Tang Jinyu's bag of dried jerky was distributed in the boys' dormitory early in the morning. When he sat with the boys in the classroom to rest, everyone greeted him, and some people handed him mineral water, ”Squad leader, do you want some?”
Tang Jinyu took it and drank for a while. He was really thirsty. He was a little tired from shouting just now.
This male classmate went to the same middle school as Tang Jinyu, and he was quite familiar with him, so he leaned in and said in a low voice: ”Squad leader, your position as the school grass in campus may not be guaranteed.”
”What school grass?”
”Don't you know, the girls from our middle school used to give you this title before”
Tang Jinyu shook his head, he didn't know about it.
The male student leaned forward a little and said, ”This time there is a transfer student from Class 9 who just came yesterday. He is very handsome. He is a mixed-race boy. His nose is so sharp, but his eyes are a bit fierce. He usually looks like this…” He made a demonstration, evened his eyes, and looked like he was tired of the world.
The mineral water that Tang Jinyu was drinking, almost made his spit out laughing, and said with a smile, ”Nonsense, no one has eyes like this.”
”Really, I’m not lying to you, he is tall, I saw him looking down and talking to be people like this. Anyway, he’s not someone you want to provoke, he didn't even go when the instructor asked him to shoot, and said that he would hurt his hand.”
Tang Jinyu thought for a moment, then asked: ”How tall is he?”
”It's about 1.8 meters, he’s quite tall.”
(T/n: 1.8 meters= 5’9)
Tang Jinyu was really envious. He grew one centimeter tall during summer vacation. His brother personally measured him three times before he believed it. Right now he was 1.64 meters, and he doesn’t know when he will grow to be 1.8 meters.
(T/n: 1.64 meters= 5’3)
