Chapter 1 What? I joined the army?

As a fat man weighing more than 200 pounds, losing weight has always been the biggest trouble for my parents.

So in May 2012, my dad inexplicably asked me to sign a document that I didn’t know what it was. Then three months later, in a daze, I followed more than 30 people on the high-speed rail to Qingdao.

Only then did I realize that my dad helped me sign up for a recruitment of a military officer called direct recruitment. In this way, I joined the army in a confused manner and started a strange military career that belonged only to me, a fat man with a 200 kilogram!

1

Please don’t have strange fantasies, thinking that I went through some back door to the army. Theoretically, it is correct for everyone to have this idea, after all, how did a fat man with a 200 pound pass the military physical examination?

Well, I admit that the preface is a bit exaggerated. In fact, I knew my dad had signed up for me during my physical examination in July.

From May to July, my family's food, or only my food, was seriously mixed with water. In the past two months, I didn't eat a piece of meat, nor did I have a drop of oil in the dishes, just like the lyrics sung in the tears of the iron window.

In this way, in the last three days before the physical examination, I only ate two apples a day and ran in a raincoat, which squeezed the water in my body the most. During the final physical examination, my weight was 180 kilograms, barely meeting the minimum standard.

Of course, the consequences were very serious. After the physical examination, I ran to a buffet. I ate a Japanese hot pot restaurant for four hours. Finally, the lobby manager had to come forward and refunded my meal and invited me to leave.

The moment I stood up, my belt buckle flew six meters away, hitting the chest of a little girl serving the food. The scene was once embarrassed.

When I left, the owner of the hot pot restaurant took a photo with me enthusiastically. Later, I heard that the part of my photo was hung at the door of the store, and the following said that this person was prohibited from entering.

On the day I boarded the train, more than 30 "comrades-in-arms" boarded the train with my parents' reluctance. However, my parents were not reluctant at all. The smile of my mouth would have been to the back of my head if I had no ears blocked it.

The whole family came to see me off with drums and drums. If it weren't for the Hongqiao Railway Station not setting off firecrackers, I would probably have brought them all the second kicks.

When someone else's parting is waving his hands, but I am raising my middle finger.

Convex-convex!

Everyone was extremely excited on the high-speed rail. Yes, since they came here, they must be willing and yearning for the military camp. Those who simply want to lose weight like me are probably unique.

The Shanghai Armed Forces Office's leading staff sat opposite each other and looked at me with a look of Ultraman, because he could hardly believe that the person who was still 180 a month ago had recovered to 200 kilograms a month later.

Hum, I will tell you, have I been blacklisted by 16 buffet restaurants this month?

On the high-speed train to Qingdao, everyone was excited, moved, and longing for the future. They were fantasized, excited, excited. But a few hours later, we were frozen into a pen in excitement.

Yes, Shanghai was very hot in August, so everyone went there in short-sleeved shorts. And when they thought they would be given military uniforms when they went to the army, almost no one brought casual clothes.

However, Qingdao, as the north, was beyond our expectations, and the temperature difference along the way was more than ten degrees.

Just when even the staff of the armed forces were so cold that they were goosebumps all over the floor, I suddenly emerged and shivered with the trembling of many people.

After getting off the high-speed rail, under everyone's envious eyes, I strode forward and blocked the wind ahead for everyone. Yes, this may be the only time in my life that I will be proud of this body.

If there was a background picture at that time, I should be walking in front of the army and the flag bearer who resisted the red flag!

After getting off the bus, we came to a place called Chengyang Second Brigade. I still remember that at that time I was assigned to the fifth team and went with me to two other "colleagues".

The troops were divided into brigades, teams and district teams. I was divided into brigades 2 and brigades 5. After the recruits arrived, I was assigned to the third district team and spent two months of recruit training here.

There is a saying in the army that dumplings get off the car. It means that the first meal of the army was to eat noodles, and the last meal before retiring from the army was to eat dumplings.

So we just came and had our first meal in the army, a bowl of clear soup noodles.

There is nothing in this soup noodle, but we have no choice for those who have been riding for six hours.

Just as we were eating noodles, the three district captains of Team 5 brought us three packs of pickled vegetables.

Jia Wen, the captain of our third district team, told me that this is their only three remaining packs of pickled vegetables.

We took these three packs of pickled vegetables in tears. If we hadn't seen these three district captains eating braised pork in the back kitchen fifteen minutes later, I think I would have been moved for a longer time.

7

District captain Jia Wen led us the way, and we moved into Team 5 that night.

"You three will sleep here tonight. I'll go find something first." Jia Wen said and took us to a room.

My two comrades-in-arms, Lao Xu and Lao Wang, pushed the door and entered the room, but they saw eight light beds.

The three of us looked at each other, looked at the luggage in our hands, and then looked at the light bed in front of us, thinking about something.

8

I don’t know why, maybe it’s the inheritance of my police family, or maybe it’s my years of writing experience that made a light of inspiration flash in my mind.

Hard work is the glorious tradition of our army. These eight hard beds must be a test for us!

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt very passionate. I encountered such a problem at the beginning. It was because the great responsibility was given to this person!

So I waved my hand and placed my suitcase on the bed and said to the two: "This must be the test of the army for us. Come and take out the clothes we have left as quilts and use the suitcase as pillows. Let us face the test of the army for us with dignity!"

Lao Xu and Lao Wang looked at me with great excitement, and then joined my action.

Just as we were "making the bed" and preparing to rest, Jia Qu and the captain of the first district team, Li Qu, walked into the room with a third quilt and a mattress.

As soon as they came in, they were shocked by the strange behavior of the three of us, and the three of us were also embarrassed.

"That... I said I spread it out and hung it out, do you believe it?" I cleverly resolved the embarrassment.

Tears collapsed.

I don’t have the habit of sleeping in, it’s strange. A fat man doesn’t have the habit of sleeping in. Yes, I actually have the habit of writing mood diaries, so I like to get up early and write something in the morning.

This habit has won me plenty of time, so when the wake-up call sounded at 6:30, others were washing up in a hurry, and I was calmly going downstairs for a walk.

Five minutes later, no matter how everyone was, everyone finally arrived downstairs. So a beautiful scenery was born. On a morning when it was only ten degrees, a group of people stood in front of the building in shorts and vests.

However, at this time, no one of the boys was trembling, and they all looked tall and majestic. No matter where they were, everyone's eyes drifted to the same place.

Not far away, a few pairs of white reflective thighs brought endless motivation to everyone.

Haha, young!

10

Food, sex, and sex are all adults in their twenties, so this situation is normal. Strictly speaking, this behavior should be called muscle-showing, but the goose bumps behind them have already exposed their true feelings.

At this time, there is only one person who really doesn't care. Yes, that's me, a man who stands proudly with 200 pounds of fat, and is as fat as he is.

11

Because the people were not all present, the training of the recruits did not begin. Our task in the past few days has become to help the district captain complete daily tasks.

Soon our district captain took out a few large brooms from the warehouse. Looking at the brooms used by sanitation workers, we had a lot of insights.

Especially for me, I actually feel like I am a sweeping monk at this moment.

At this time, I remembered a sentence, Zhongshan suit, black umbrella, and floor sweeping monk, the three great things in the world cannot be messed with.

12

Everyone was still very excited when working. Of course, everyone ran to a few teams with girls, so they didn’t say anything. They could cheer themselves up if they looked at each other for a few more times. However, the good times didn’t last long. A bus drove into the barracks in less than an hour. All the girls were taken out of the Second Brigade of Chengyang in front of everyone.

With a few female officers leaving together, they all head to other recruit battalions.

When the bus drove away, the boys showed blank eyes. How could they say that this kind of eyes can often be seen on TV. It feels like parents can't afford to support you and throw you in a welfare home.

I could only laugh and ask me if I feel this way. Let me tell you, I have a very clear self-awareness. From the beginning, I have no fantasies about all the girls here, so when they left, I became the calmest one.

As soon as the girls left, the entire recruit camp completely became the "Shaolin Temple".

Sadness is like a river, is that what we mean by this time?

13

As a southerner, I have hardly eaten steamed buns in my life. Of course, some southern regions also regard steamed buns as staple food, so I don’t target any region, I just summarize it.

During my six months in Qingdao, I ate all the steamed buns I could eat in my life. In the past, I could eat small steamed buns or flower rolls at home, but since I came back from the army, I felt nauseous when I saw the steamed buns.

The army steamed buns are not as delicious as everyone imagined. For example, the steamed buns will become hard when they are cold. However, no one in the recruits' camp will care about these trivial matters, so what we often eat is steamed buns with a skin like steel plates.

A friend who knows how to eat very well, tear open the skin and eat it inside when eating steamed buns. However, this scene was seen by our captain in the north. He told us that the hard skin is delicious and can't be swallowed, so it will be soaked. From then on, everyone cannot peel the steamed buns.

Okay, Captain, as a northerner, I have nothing to say, but at least you can add a bowl of soup to me?

So everyone ate steamed buns and ate a pig's feet. Each of them had a ferocious expression, as if they were not eating steamed buns, but a great enemy of life and death.
