War Military: From 1978

Chapter 8 Everyone’s physique is different!
Starlight dotted the sky, and on the huge open space of the barracks, there were only a few bamboo poles with electric wires and light bulbs to provide light.

I have to say, this scene made Chu An a little dazed.

Is this the only condition in the army?
Chu An knew from his memory that those days were hard, but he didn't expect that the army was also like this.

At least get some telephone poles!
However, before he could think about it, and no one explained it to him, soon all of them were led by a group of veterans to several rows of barracks on the left side of the current parking lot.

It is very spacious. Although it is a one-story house with a roof, there is a lot of space inside after opening the door.

This is also the style of this era.

The barracks are generally of Soviet style, with a focus on being large.

But no matter how big it was, the situation inside made Chu An frown.

Because there was no bed inside, there was just some straw laid against the three walls.

"Right now, your batch of recruits hasn't arrived yet, so you'll stay here for two days. Once everyone arrives and we've assigned you to your companies, we'll move you to another place, and you'll have beds available!"

Tong Lianzhong explained it to everyone.

One of the other veterans who was helping everyone carry their bags spoke up at this moment: "Deputy Company Commander, you've been traveling all this way, you haven't eaten yet, have you? The cafeteria has prepared noodles!"

"Well, everyone put down your things, let's go eat noodles first!"

Tong Lianzhong gave the order directly.

Dumplings on the bus and noodles when you get off. This is actually not a popular thing in the south. Even ordinary people in the south at that time could not afford noodles and dumplings.

But this is an army, and the soldiers in it come from all over the country. Some of them come from the north. After they brought this custom with them, it naturally spread in the army.

The main purpose is to have a good start.

Just a moment later, Chu An and others came to the cafeteria again.

In fact, Chu An had been hungry for a long time.

Although he had dinner late in the afternoon, Chu An didn't know why, but now he found that he could really eat.

Before his rebirth, he might not be able to finish a takeout pork trotter rice. But in this life, from his memory, Chu An's original body seemed to have a normal appetite.

But now that he has been reborn, it seems like some chemical reaction has occurred, and he can eat the amount of two people by himself.

This actually made Chu An a little worried.

Although Tong Lianzhong and others say that being able to eat is a blessing and a good thing, this blessing also depends on the era!

Being able to eat in this day and age, even in the army, is not considered a good thing, right?

Everything is rationed, and it must be a hassle for him to keep eating so much!

But he couldn't solve this problem for the time being. After all, his stomach and belly were not under his control.

"Chu An, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

On the square table, Chu An kept picking up noodles with his chopsticks, but now, except for Chu An and Limited One who were eating with relish, everyone else was eating slowly, and some even simply stuck their chopsticks into the noodles and left them alone!

"What's wrong? Can't eat?"

Looking at Li Guoping with a bitter face opposite him, Chu An put down his chopsticks in confusion.

"Hmm!" Li Guoping frowned and slapped his temples, "My stomach feels uncomfortable, and I'm a little dizzy!"

"Me too!" Another recruit had the same expression.

Although trucks used to drive smoothly on the road, the fuel combustion efficiency of trucks nowadays is not very good.

Everyone was sitting in the truck bed. Although the car was driving steadily, the exhaust gas that blew into the truck bed still made these recruits, who had only ever ridden a tractor before, feel extremely uncomfortable.

In fact, when we were in the car, someone reported it and then lay down at the back of the car and vomited.

But there was only one person in Chu An’s car who vomited.

But if they don’t vomit, it doesn’t mean that nothing is wrong with them.

"It's okay. If you can't eat now, eat later. If you really can't, I'll help you eat!"

At this point, Chu An lowered his head and continued to eat his noodles while adding: "It's shameful to waste!"

Li Guoping was speechless.

"Aren't you feeling uncomfortable at all?" he asked again.

"No, maybe everyone's physique is different!"

Chu Anzhen didn't feel uncomfortable. In fact, he also suffered from motion sickness when he was a child in his previous life, but after he grew up, perhaps because he had to take the car frequently to go to school, he got used to it and no longer felt carsick.

"What's the matter? Why aren't you eating?" Just then, a voice came from behind.

It was Tong Lianzhong who came to the table at the back.

"Commander, I-I feel a little nauseous and dizzy. Can we eat later?"

"The noodles will clump up soon!" Tong Lianzhong frowned and said, "Eat as much as you can. I don't think you can finish so much. Give some noodles to other comrades who can eat!"

No one made the noodles in the cafeteria tonight.

Yesterday, when eating noodles at the military station, you had to rely on your own skills to pick them up, but tonight, you just have to stand aside and wait, and the enthusiastic veterans will help you pick them up.

"Same for you too?"

At this time, Tong Lianzhong came to Chu An's table and asked Li Guoping and others who were frowning.

"Yes, Chief, I feel a little nauseous and dizzy too!"

"Then put some in Chu An's bowl!" He said this immediately as he looked at Chu An who had already finished half a bowl.

"it is good!"

Li Guoping reached out to pick up the bowl.

"I'll do it myself. I'll stop when you say yes!" Chu An hurriedly got up to pick up his bowl.

He had been planning to help them eat, and now that Tong Lianzhong had spoken, he would not be polite.

After all, your stomach is important. If you don’t eat enough, you will feel uncomfortable at night.

"Haha, then please take the trouble to eat more, but don't waste it!" Tong Lianzhong stretched out his hand and patted Chu An's shoulder with a smile.

Chu An turned his head, nodded shyly and smiled: "Yes, thank you, Chief!"

"Yeah!" Tong Lianzhong laughed, and then looked at the others again: "Eat as much as you can, try to eat as much as possible, it's a whole night, it's very long!"

At this moment, in the eyes of all the recruits, he was definitely a good man. No one would have thought that before, when the truck passed the broken road in front of the military station, this man kept shouting at the driver to speed up and ignore the recruits behind him.
That night, Chu An ate very well.

The main reason was that the cafeteria had cooked too many noodles tonight, and many people had poor appetites due to the bus ride, so Chu An helped several of his comrades at the same table to eat some. Then Tong Lianzhong took special care of him and asked him to get some more.

This also meant that when Chu An walked out after eating, he felt like noodles were about to come out of his throat when he burped.

"You really can't eat like this next time. Eat in moderation, in moderation!"

On the way back to the dormitory, Chu An rubbed his stomach and sighed softly.

This was the most filling and best meal he had ever had since his rebirth. He ate three poached eggs in the noodles.

But now it seems that I am a little full.

At this moment, Chu An didn't know that as they left, some of the veterans still in the cafeteria were also discussing him.

"That new recruit is such a big eater!"

"Damn, I really can't tell! He's so skinny, and from what they said, he's an intellectual, he should have been to high school, but he can actually eat so much!"

"He ate at least three bowls, which is impressive of me. But even if I starve for a day and then work a day, I can only eat two bowls at most. I'm really impressed by this guy!"

"Haha, why should I give in? I'll see which company he'll be assigned to next time. If he's really assigned to our company, I'll have to cook for every meal!"

There were no new recruits here. A group of veterans were smiling and commenting on the new recruits they had just had a brief encounter with.

At the same time, after returning to the dormitory, the recruits began chatting in groups of three or four.
