86: He became the most famous person in the entire reconnaissance battalion.
Xiao Niannian's eyes widened slightly as she watched this scene.
She had long seen Hu Ping's actions and knew that Hu Ping wanted to harm her. She had even prepared to hide behind, so that when Hu Ping splashed it on others, she would surely be punished. Unexpectedly, Hu Ping herself fell into the pig manure pile and ended up in such a sorry state.
"Wah..."
Hu Ping burst into loud sobs.
Squad Leader Hao's face also darkened at this moment.
"Quickly take Hu Ping away."
She hadn't expected these new recruits to be so weak, unable to even do such a small task properly. Now they had made a huge fool of themselves in front of other companies.
The Company Commander and Platoon Leader would surely scold their squad later. She, as the Squad Leader, would be punished even more severely.
It was almost May now, and it wasn't very cold anymore.
Yang Fang and a Comrade-in-arms helped Hu Ping up and walked outside.
Hu Ping cried loudly, drawing the attention of many people.
Hu Ping felt even more humiliated.
If it weren't for Xiao Niannian, how could she have slipped, how could she have fallen face-first into pig manure, and how could her mouth have gotten pig manure in it? She felt that she was dirty, and no matter how much she washed, she couldn't get clean.
"Ugh."
In a fit of emotion, Hu Ping fainted again.
Yang Fang and Zhu Dan both became anxious.
"Platoon Leader, Squad Leader, where is the Medical Team?"
"Where is the Medical Team?"
They had only been in the company for two or three days. Although they had heard which direction the Medical Team was in, they had never actually been there.
Hearing them ask for the Medical Team, a passing Soldier immediately said,
"Come with me, the Medical Team is just over here."
"Thank you."
Squad Leader Hao gave instructions to her subordinates and then ran to the Medical Team.
Meanwhile, Xiao Niannian and her comrades-in-arms watched from the aisle of the pigsty, learning the methods.
Xiao Niannian and her comrades-in-arms from the squad learned for a while, then went up in batches and fed the pigs exceptionally well. Afterwards, they learned to clean the pigsty.
"Platoon Leader Feng, the people in your platoon are really good."
Battalion Commander Han had been watching from nearby. Seeing the performance of these squads, he was very dissatisfied with Hu Ping's Communications Company. He had previously heard that Deputy Regimental Commander Wu and others had arranged for the female Soldiers of the Reconnaissance Battalion's Support Platoon to plant vegetables and clean pigsties in the future. He suspected that Deputy Regimental Commander Wu's sudden order must have had some reason.
He was very angry and instructed Political Instructor Jiang that all female Soldiers, whether from the Communications Company or the Support Platoon, must work together.
Seeing these people today, he felt that they could do these tasks more often. Otherwise, it would definitely bring shame to the Reconnaissance Battalion in the future.
Hearing Battalion Commander Han's praise, Platoon Leader Feng was very happy.
The pigsty was quickly cleaned. Seeing how clean it was inside, Platoon Leader Feng told Xiao Niannian and the others to return to their dorms to wash up.
"You've cleaned the pigsty, now go back and wash up."
Hearing this, Xiao Niannian and her comrades-in-arms happily returned to their dorms, grabbed their clothes, and went to the bathhouse to wash.
Xiao Niannian took a bar of soap and a small bag of laundry detergent. She had specially changed the packaging to use it for washing.
Xiao Niannian occasionally ate the food in her spatial storage.
However, Wang Dazhuang's family had a lot of food. While other families didn't even have a jin of meat, their family actually had an entire pig, divided into many portions. Some were fresh, salted and air-dried, some were smoked and made into cured meat, and there was also a lot of beef, lamb, mountain game, and much more. Winter melons, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, and regular potatoes filled several rooms.
There were also several cabinets full of pastries. Truly corrupt officials.
As for Xiao Dong's family, although they didn't have as much, their grain, oil, rice, and flour were more than what ordinary people had. There were also three large cabinets full of clothes. Winter melons, pumpkins, and sweet potatoes filled half a room, and there was a whole cabinet of food items, plus several hundred jin of rice in the granary.
They had so much to eat, yet they still ran to Grandma Xiao's house every other day to snatch things and ransack everything. It was truly hateful.
She wondered if Uncle Wang and the others had gotten back that thousand yuan.
Xiao Niannian took three consecutive showers, then quickly put on her clothes.
"Niannian, are you clean?"
Although they had diligently cleaned the pigsty earlier, the smell was indeed quite strong.
"I have scented soap, you can use it."
Xiao Niannian handed over the scented soap.
Then she took out a small box of laundry detergent and poured some into a small yellow basin.
Xiao Niannian first rinsed her clothes several times under the faucet, then vigorously scrubbed them with laundry detergent and soap. She carefully sniffed them and found that the smell was gone.
Although she had been to places with even worse conditions and was accustomed to many foul smells, it was naturally better to be able to wash away the stench.
Currently, Xiao Niannian only applied vanishing cream and nothing else. As a Soldier, it was impossible to wear perfume, unless it was absolutely necessary for a mission.
After Xiao Niannian finished washing her clothes, she went to their squad's designated drying area.
Soon after, her comrades-in-arms also came to hang their clothes.
"Huanhuan, what do you think happened to Hu Ping, the one who fell into the pig manure pile today?"
"I heard she fainted and was sent to the Medical Team. The people in the Medical Team almost fainted from her stench..." Lin Er had been in the Military Unit for two years and knew many people in the Reconnaissance Battalion, so she was the most well-informed.
Hearing this, Zhao You and Cao Huan couldn't help but laugh. It wasn't that they wanted to mock a Comrade-in-arms, but Hu Ping was truly outrageous.
They had also heard that Hu Ping had made baseless accusations in the cinema, causing the comrades in the Military Unit to almost fail to rescue the people in the cinema. So, their impression of Hu Ping was not very good.
Moreover, Hu Ping seemed to really dislike Niannian.
Niannian had done nothing wrong. Why did Hu Ping dislike Niannian so much? Could it be because Niannian was so excellent?
Niannian is so excellent, so one should learn from Niannian and become more excellent. What's the use of jealousy?
Hu Ping didn't know that the incident of her falling into the pigsty quickly spread, making her the most famous person in the entire Reconnaissance Battalion.
Everyone wasn't intentionally gossiping about a Comrade-in-arms. It was just that a perfectly fine person actually fell into a pig manure pile, and face-first at that. It was somewhat incomprehensible.
After Hu Ping arrived at the Medical Team, she quickly woke up. The people in the Medical Team were almost suffocated by her stench. They prescribed some medicine and told her to go back and clean herself, saying if there were still problems, to come back.
Hu Ping didn't even take the medicine and ran directly to the bathhouse.
It was Yang Fang and the others who brought her changed clothes to the bathhouse.
"Is that the person who fell into the pigsty?"
"When we go to clean the pigsty in the future, we must be careful not to fall and eat pig shit."
"She actually ate pig shit, how disgusting."
After Hu Ping showered for half an hour, she came out. For some reason, she still felt a lingering smell, but her skin was rubbed red, and her hair had been washed more than ten times. She had brushed her teeth more than ten times, even throwing away two toothbrushes.
