The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 160: Exhausted Like a Dog from Official Training
Wang Miaomiao is also someone who stands up for her own, and with others pressuring them, she naturally won’t back down.
Even when being a peacemaker, she still favors her own people.
"There’s a dormitory inspection this afternoon. If you mess up the beds, points will be deducted from our dorm, and this is a matter of collective honor." Wang Cuihua was furious, and seeing their unrepentant faces, her tone naturally turned scolding. She stood from a high ground and used collective interests to make her point.
"Alright, why are you getting all worked up about it?" Wang Miaomiao said with a smile, but there was no warmth in her eyes, "Inspection this afternoon? We didn’t know about it before. Did any of you know about this?"
As she said this, she glanced around, asking the others. Naturally, everyone shook their heads, and Xue Yunyun was watching the commotion with great interest.
Wang Miaomiao shrugged helplessly, "See, no one in this dorm knows about it. As the class monitor, you’re just being an armchair critic when problems arise? Instead of finding solutions, you’re inappropriately holding people accountable. Heh... with the way you handle things, I really have to question your ability to fulfill the duties of a class monitor."
"Besides, beds are for sleeping on. So what, you left the beds here just to look good for the inspection this afternoon?" Wang Miaomiao coolly straightened the bed on the upper bunk and continued, "Moreover, as far as I know, military checks are a routine every day. Are you really planning not to sleep in bed every day from now on?"
"Hahaha..." Xue Yunyun laughed so hard that she collapsed onto the bed, unable to stand up straight.
"You..." Wang Cuihua was left speechless, she was quite annoyed, having walked in moments ago to see their messy beds, she was really a bit angry, but also saw it as an opportunity, a good chance to establish her authority, so she opened fire on the two. However, she didn’t expect the seemingly agreeable two would be this hard to manage. Especially Wang Miaomiao, who seemed like a nice person, but was unexpectedly eloquent.
Wang Cuihua’s gaze flickered and her momentum instantly faltered, "I just found out about the inspection in a meeting, I was too anxious, afraid that our dorm would lose points and not be as excellent as the others, that’s why I acted that way, please don’t be upset. Let me help you tidy up..."
Saying this, she moved to help, but Wang Miaomiao quickly blocked her with a half-smile, "No need, this small matter, we can handle it ourselves."
"Hehe..." Wang Cuihua let out an awkward laugh twice, then nonchalantly said, "Let’s have a meeting then, to pass on the instructions from the leadership."
"Sure, let’s have it." Cheng Xue directly flipped down from the upper bunk in one smooth motion, looking graceful and stylish.
Wang Cuihua’s face stiffened slightly when she saw this, her smile was quite unnatural, perhaps it was better not to smile.
For the first dorm meeting, everyone gave her face and there weren’t any disruptions.
The meeting went smoothly.
In the afternoon, a group of veterans came in and swept through several new dorms like a whirlwind. Originally neat beds were messed up and then veterans guided them on the techniques and requirements of making beds and arranging items.
Wang Cuihua glanced slightly awkwardly at the few people in the dorm, but Wang Miaomiao and others didn’t pay her any attention, listening intently to the veterans’ explanations.
Both Luan Qian and Cheng Xue grew up in military family compounds, having been influenced from a young age, and needless to say, Wang Miaomiao wasn’t really a clueless sixteen-year-old girl, even Xue Yunyun had been specially reminded by her family.
After the veterans demonstrated once, they let everyone give it a try.
Wang Miaomiao, adept at observing and summarizing, was eager to learn and naturally didn’t miss any key points or difficulties. When she actually got hands-on, though a bit clumsy at times, she still completed it quite well.
Among these people, Luan Qian completed it the best, almost identical to the veterans, followed by Cheng Xue.
In the afternoon, Wang Miaomiao and the others were also taken for another major task: getting haircuts. Watching her long hair being cut off in handfuls, Wang Miaomiao was really on the verge of tears. What kind of bad luck had she brought upon herself to suffer this and wondered if it was still too late to regret?
That night, the dorm lights were to be turned off at nine o’clock as scheduled, but the girls had little sleepiness. It might have been due to excitement or the discomfort of being in a new environment, and they kept whispering to each other for a long time.
Wang Miaomiao didn’t know when she fell asleep, but she remembered very clearly being startled awake by a sharp whistle that pierced the silent night, scaring the girls into pale faces.
"Quick, get up, time for assembly." Cheng Xue, startled awake, sat up immediately, patting the bed to remind Wang Miaomiao below.
Wang Miaomiao, still shaken, patted her chest, quickly getting into rhythm, within five minutes she was being dragged by Cheng Xue to the playground. At this time, the playground was still sparsely populated, with less than half the members present.
"Five minutes, countdown, ten, nine, eight... three, two, one. Liu Qing, take note of the names of those not here yet, as per the old rules, for every ten seconds late, an extra lap will be added." Zhu Dalong, holding the stopwatch, frowned at the group of sloppily dressed, squirming new recruits.
There aren’t many female soldiers in the army, with limited recruitment each year, especially this year, the numbers didn’t reach a hundred, without connections, it’s almost impossible to get in.
But Zhu Dalong couldn’t care less about what connections these people had, on her turf, everyone follows her rules, "I’m Zhu Dalong, your instructor for the next three months of special training. I don’t care what your previous identities were, or what connections got you in, here, everyone is treated equally. If anyone wants to slack off, you can leave now."
Wang Miaomiao looked at this new instructor, with a stern black face, clearly someone rigid and serious, and thinking about the next three months under such a person, she couldn’t help but shiver.
"Report, all personnel are present, a total of 88 people, with 88 present, 48 of whom were late. The shortest late time is eight seconds, one extra lap, the longest is 2 minutes and 16 seconds, which means 14 extra laps." Liu Qing reported the final result to Zhu Dalong, looking with schadenfreude at those who arrived late.
Zhu Dalong nodded, confirming once again, "No one wants to leave, right? Alright then, all personnel, run 20 laps around the playground, turn right, start running."
Listening to the command while running, Wang Miaomiao couldn’t help but swallow hard, it was too harsh... the playground is 400 meters per lap, 20 laps is 8000 meters, Zhu Dalong must be crazy...
In a regular school, girls’ long-distance running maxes out at 800 meters, this is ten times that...
Wang Miaomiao felt this was an impossible task, but to be the first to step forward and say she quit was unthinkable, her pride couldn’t let that happen.
What now? What else can she do?
She could only grit her teeth, stick with the rest, and keep running.
