Gao Cheng's theory about mules and horses is very popular in the recruit company.

Many recruits kept this sentence on their lips, including Xu Sanduo.

That day he said to Zheng Yingqi:

"Actually, it's obvious who is the mule and who is the horse.

I am the earliest mule in the recruit company, and you and Chengcai are the most outstanding horses in the recruit company. I...I am dragging you down."

Xu Sanduo was very depressed when he said this, and his voice was also more disappointed than ever before.

Zheng Yingqi, who was washing his face, threw the towel into the basin and looked at Xu Sanduo: "What's wrong?"

"I'm stupid, I..." Xu Sanduo's eyes were filled with tears. This "young man" who had only just turned eighteen after leaving home for seven or eight days had never wanted to be the country mule he thought he was, and he also wanted people to look at him. He tried hard to think

He wants to prove it to others, but his slow acceptance always makes him look bad.

"I always make a fool of myself, I...I don't want to be like this...but I always make a fool of myself...I feel like I am hopeless..." Xu Sanduo sobbed, his voice already sobbing.

Zheng Yingqi took out the towel from the basin, wiped it on Xu Sanduo's face and said:

"Listen to me first, okay?" After Xu Sanduo nodded, Zheng Yingqi continued: "A few days ago, we were common people, we were protected objects, we could cry, we could shed tears, because our

As ordinary people, we have the right to cry.

But not now. You, me, and everyone here are all wearing this military uniform. Our identities have changed. We are no longer ordinary people, we are soldiers. Shedding blood, sweat, and not tears is the most basic requirement of a soldier.

The common people count on us to protect them, but if we can’t even wipe away our own tears, who can believe that we can protect our homes and our country?”

Xu Sanduo gasped hurriedly and wiped his eyes with both hands to show that he would stop crying.

Zheng Yingqi smiled and put the towel into Xu Sanduo's hand. Xu Sanduo smiled sheepishly, wiped it on his face and wanted to hand the towel to Zheng Yingqi, but pulled it back halfway and said sheepishly: "

Let me wash it for you."

"You..." Zheng Yingqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took the towel back from Xu Sanduo's hand, threw it into the basin, and said while rubbing it: "Tell me, why did you suddenly change like this?"

When Xu Sanduo heard this, he instantly felt lost again. He wanted to cry, but he remembered what Zheng Yingqi had just said, and stopped his desire to cry. After a while, he whispered: "Chengcai said that I... said that it was because of me that our class didn't get it.

Excellent, tell me..."

Xu Sanduo slowly stopped talking. He didn't want to speak ill of Chengcai anymore.

Zheng Yingqi slowly stopped. To make Xu Sanduo feel so disappointed, Chengcai must have said a lot of excessive things. In this group, Chengcai is Xu Sanduo's friend in the village. Being treated as a relative by him can make his heart "tough and unyielding."

"Xu Sanduo is so depressed, what he said must be too much!

He remembered that in the plot, there was no such thing, Chengcai was very kind to Xu Sanduo.

After thinking about it, he realized that Xu Sanduo must have been inseparable from him, which made Chengcai feel uncomfortable. Coupled with the competition from the deputy squad leader, Chengcai was so resentful that he couldn't help but vent his anger on Xu Sanduo.

After thinking clearly, Zheng Yingqi grabbed Xu Sanduo and said, "Let's go, follow me."

"Yingqi, what are you doing? I...I don't want to find him." Xu Sanduo struggled. He could say such words as "I don't want to find him". It was obvious that Chengcai had said it badly and was very hurt.

"Follow me, I won't cause trouble for Chengcai!" Zheng Yingqi's tone was serious and cold. Looking for trouble for Chengcai is an act that hurts both sides. After only a few days in the camp, he and his comrades started fighting or exchanging fists with each other. This is definitely very harmful.

Seriously, he wouldn't do this!

Xu Sanduo struggled to get away from Zheng Yingqi and was dragged back to the dormitory.

In the dormitory, the recruits were sitting in despair. Wu Liuyi, who always strived for the first place, failed to earn the honors class and went for a run on the playground with a sullen face. The recruits felt the anger of the squad leader and were both afraid and angry. In their opinion

, it is precisely because of Xu Sanduo that they have no chance to be outstanding.

So when Chengcai criticized Xu Sanduo just now, not only did they not help, but they also fanned the flames.

After Zheng Yingqi came in in a hurry, the new recruits suddenly felt like they were beating up the younger ones before the older ones came!

"Are you all sitting here? Do you think your talents have been taken away and you are turning into a resentful woman here?" Zheng Yingqi said coldly as soon as he entered the dormitory.

Maybe it was because Xu Sanduo was too fierce just now. The recruits didn't say anything, and even Chengcai didn't say anything. In fact, Chengcai regretted it. Because he wanted to compete for the deputy class, he became less and less fond of Zheng Yingqi. He saw it again.

Xu Sanduo clung to him so much that Chengcai felt sour that he couldn't help but said harsh words. He regretted it after Xu Sanduo ran out.

No one answered, and Zheng Yingqi became even more angry. He understood this guilty state very well.

"Are you still men? If you don't get outstanding, you will only blame others? Why don't you think about yourself! Don't you have your own reasons?" Zheng Yingqi asked angrily.

Some recruits couldn't help but said: "Every time we train, Xu Sanduo is always behind us. His stance is not up to par, his steering is faulty, and he still walks smoothly. With him, it's no wonder that we can get outstanding results!"

Xu Sanduo's first reaction after hearing this was to step back, trying to find a crack in the ground to burrow in. He knew that this was the truth, but being exposed so nakedly made him terribly ashamed.

The others nodded subconsciously in approval of this recruit's words, and then all looked at Zheng Yingqi, indicating that they were in the same trench.

Chengcai looked complicated. He wanted to stop him, but he also wanted to see Zheng Yingqi arouse public anger.

"Is that so?" Zheng Yingqi was not angry when he heard this. He looked into the eyes of the recruits one by one. No one avoided his gaze. Obviously, the recruits all thought this way.

Zheng Yingqi resisted the urge to yell, and finally, under the surprised eyes of everyone, he stepped forward and unfolded all the "tofu cubes" of everyone one by one.

"Come on, let's start from the basics. Let's pack our own quilts and sheets without interfering with each other." Zheng Yingqi said coldly. He said the last sentence to Chengcai. He knew that Chengcai always helped his comrades.

Cleaning up the housekeeping makes the housekeeping of Class 5 look decent.

Some recruits immediately felt guilty. Folding quilts is not a simple task. Although the squad leader's demonstration seemed very simple, only those who have experienced it can understand how torturing it is. Otherwise, there would be no people pouring water on the quilts.

Sleeping without a quilt.

"Why? Comrades should help each other!" A new recruit said in a stern voice. This reason is quite strong. After all, it is what the squad leader has always emphasized.

Zheng Yingqi fired back: "Help each other, is this mutual help? If we continue to help like this, when will we learn how to fold quilts? We have to stay in the military camp for at least two years, can you let others help us for two years?"

"What are you doing standing still? Don't even move! Xu Sanduo, you can fold too!" Zheng Yingqi shouted.

The recruits didn't dare to delay. If anyone saw this, they would all be doomed.

The dormitory was in a mess, and the recruits were having trouble with their bedding. After they were forced to fold it out, even they themselves couldn't bear to look at the twisted tofu.

Chengcai also silently folded his quilt and put away the sheets again. He had been helping his comrades for several days, and his own skills were getting better and better.

After tidying up his housework in a mess, the recruit who had been arrogant just now was also dumbfounded.

Looking at the ten quilts, only Zheng Yingqi, Xu Sanduo and Chengcai could see through them. I patted my conscience and said that Chengcai's was indeed the best, but the quilts made by Zheng Yingqi and Xu Sanduo were much prettier than them and more in line with the standards.

Chengcai's face was a bit ugly. The behavior of his comrades made it the first time for him to act like he was helping others more than harming them.

Xu Sanduo still looked like a coward. He didn't show off his triumphant smile just because his quilt was folded beautifully and conformed to the standards. However, others looked like he was still very unhappy because he was obviously the guy at the bottom. Why?

Can it be better than them?

"Let's go outside. Didn't you say that Sanduo's movements are not up to standard? We are soldiers, and we will see the real results on the training ground!"

Zheng Yingqi invited a battle. The recruits who had been defeated by Xu Sanduo in the internal affairs department naturally had no choice but to accept the challenge if they wanted to find a place. They were confident that they could do better than Xu Sanduo.

Chengcai didn't move. It wasn't until Zheng Yingqi looked at him that he said, "I won't go. I... I'll clean up the house for everyone first."

"Let's go, today is an internal competition for Class 5, aren't you going to do it?" Zheng Yingqi stared at Chengcai. Chengcai saw the provocation in Zheng Yingqi's eyes. After a moment of hesitation, he agreed to Zheng Yingqi's invitation. He was the class's trainer.

Pacesetter, what is he afraid of?
