Chapter 82 Meetings, Meetings

It seems that military training in any era is the same; the first thing the instructors do is assert their authority.

Ye Xiaoxiao still remembers her past life when the instructor didn't say a word and made them stand under the sun for an hour.

She couldn't quite understand why some people would fall in love with their instructors and even express their feelings during the training period.

This year, Jinghua University admitted over six thousand students across various majors.

Each major was assigned to different military branches. The medical school was assigned to an army detachment, which was fairly close to the campus. Some other colleges had to board trains out of Beijing to train in other places.

It was like they had just arrived in Beijing and were promptly sent away again.

The medical school had over three hundred students, split into eight classes.

Each class was assigned one main instructor and two assistant instructors.

The instructors first took the students to establish the daily meeting point and then assigned their living quarters.

This process took an hour, leaving the students both exhausted and exhilarated under the sun.

The men's and women's dormitories were separate and located quite a distance apart.

Ye Xiaoxiao and her classmates hauled their luggage into the dormitory, which wasn't much different from the school dormitory, just neater and more organized.

Mainly, there weren't as many assorted personal items. For example, a girl with a jar of snow lotion was considered a wealthy and attractive girl.

With fewer items, it naturally looked neater.

A female officer was assigned to supervise the daily training activities in the women's dormitory.

"After everyone has settled in, I will take you to see the female soldiers' dormitory. During your time here, the dormitory standards must be maintained according to this standard."

"Okay."

Everyone responded in unison.

They all seemed quite confident about the life ahead.

However, after visiting the female soldiers' dormitory, they all wilted.

Were those precisely folded blankets real?

Even the towels in the washbasins had to be neatly folded?

"Here is your daily timetable. Each dormitory will select a dormitory monitor to come and get the schedule from me. Your daily routine must strictly follow this regulation."

"After reviewing the dormitory standards, everyone should go back to their dormitories and tidy up their own living spaces. Dormitories that meet the standard can go to the cafeteria first."

"My name is Tao Yannan. If you have any problems in the women's dormitory, you can come to me. My dormitory is in room 301."

Tao Yannan wore the insignia of a first lieutenant, indicating she was at least a platoon leader.

Although the students had some complaints about the requirements she had just mentioned, they were more in awe and admiration of this young and spirited female officer.

No one dared to voice their objections, and they all quietly returned to their rooms.

Tao Yannan was quite satisfied; the girls were more obedient, with fewer rebellious types.

The boys' side is always chaotic every year.

After returning to the dorm, Ye Xiaoxiao and her roommates immediately started tidying up.

The dorm, just like at school, fits six people.

Ye Xiaoxiao's dorm was short of one person, so only five people lived there.

He Jing was still the dorm leader. By the time she returned with the schedule, the others had already put away their things and were folding their quilts.

Ye Xiaoxiao thought she should lead by example since she had been through military training.

But... She had completely forgotten everything she learned in her past life.

She remembered the instructor had shown them how to fold the quilt once, and after that, she never unfolded it again.

Her roommates had even bought a quilt-folding gadget.

"Xiao Xiao, your quilt is pretty thick," Xia Li said honestly, looking at the cotton roll Ye Xiaoxiao had folded.

Ye Xiaoxiao was at a loss; her quilt was brand new.

"It's too late for me to get a more manageable quilt now," she said.

Tang Xiuxiu came over to inspect Ye Xiaoxiao's quilt, "No need for a new one. Just fold it in half and press it with a stool overnight."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "What do I do now? I'm starving. Can we grab food early?"

Tang Xiuxiu unfolded Ye Xiaoxiao's quilt and showed her how to fold it properly.

It was the same quilt, but it behaved perfectly in Tang Xiuxiu's hands.

"It's the first day; they won't be too hard on us. Plus, you're on the top bunk, so it's not that obvious," Tang Xiuxiu said.

Ye Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "Xiuxiu, you're a pro."

Tang Xiuxiu calmly got off the bed, "Straighten up the bedsheet and come down when you're ready."

Ye Xiaoxiao nodded enthusiastically.

Thanks to Tang Xiuxiu, the quilt-folding pro, their dorm was the first to head to the cafeteria.

Ye Xiaoxiao grabbed her lunchbox and picked up two dishes, rice, and soup in the cafeteria.

Honestly, the army food was really good.

Ye Xiaoxiao devoured two big bowls of rice.

She was starving after the morning.

While the students were eating, a meeting was going on at the military base.

Starting with the company commander, all the top brass had to show up.

The division commander sat at the front with a stern expression: "It's that time of year again for the annual military training period. We must strictly manage the soldiers under our command. These students are talents the nation is focusing on cultivating, and we must ensure they are fully trained while maintaining their physical and mental health.

What happened last year must never happen again."

During last year's military training, an instructor and a female student started a romantic relationship during the training period, which had a very negative impact on the military.

Moreover, after the instructor proposed a breakup, the female student actually attempted suicide by cutting her wrist in the dormitory. If it weren't for her roommate's timely discovery, she would have died.

After the incident, the female student was advised to leave the school, and the instructor was forcibly discharged from the military.

Everyone below responded.

But the division commander was still somewhat uneasy.

"Those who are handsome and good-looking should not be assigned as instructors. Adolescent boys and girls are most prone to emotional stirrings."

Lu Hanchuan pursed his lips: "Division commander, you really know a lot."

Li Changying glared, "Stop being so cheeky, especially you. Don't wander around the training area for no reason."

Lu Hanchuan: "..."

Someone next to him said, "Xiao Lu isn't an instructor, division commander, you're overthinking it."

Li Changying looked at Lu Hanchuan's face. This guy really didn't look like a soldier. Although he wasn't an instructor, it would be troublesome if female students saw him passing by.

"How about I give you a vacation? Take your annual leave early."

Lu Hanchuan: "Then what will I take during the New Year?"

Li Changying slammed the table, "You'll be on duty this New Year."

Lu Hanchuan said without hesitation: "I won't take it. I'll save it for January and February."

That would be during the winter vacation.

Moreover, it was the first time he had seen a leader enforcing a vacation.

Li Changying also had no way to deal with this troublemaker.

Someone else joked, "Division commander, Comrade Lu is the face of our military. It won't do if he leaves."

"Let me be clear, if any battalion or regiment causes trouble, everyone from the bottom up will face disciplinary action."

Li Changying was not joking this time.

After the meeting, other leaders also held meetings with their subordinates to convey the instructions from the higher-ups.

Lu Hanchuan knew that Ye Xiaoxiao was undergoing military training here, but he had no intention of disturbing her during this period.

Last year's incident had such a big impact, not only on the military but also on the student herself.

He hoped she would be well.
