As long as one mastered the trick, folding the quilt was not a difficult task.
And after Zhao Rui patiently taught them over and over again, the brothers in the dormitory had mastered it.
Chi Heng, Zhao Rui, Bai Xiaofei, and the others demonstrated to the recruits one after another, each time explaining how to fold the quilt properly.
He Yingbo revealed a proud smile on his face.
The recruits in the sixth team were very good, and He Yingbo was very satisfied.
It was Zhang Cheng’s turn to kneel on the quilt cushion as he was about to give a demonstration to the other recruits.
At this time, a black-skinned instructor suddenly squeezed into the crowd.
He was none other than the chief instructor of the recruit training, Kronin.
Seeing the chief instructor come, the recruits who were originally focused on watching how to fold the quilt made way for the chief instructor.
“I heard from Commander Wang that he chose a dormitory to give a demonstration to the other recruits. Turns out that it was Old He’s team.” Kronin greeted He Yingbo.
He Yingbo smiled and said, “The simple matter of folding quilts is something that the recruits must master. There is no need for a demonstration at all. However, the commander insisted that I have trained the recruits well and made them give a demonstration.”
“Then you must have taught them well, Old He! Otherwise, why would the commander not let other teams demonstrate but specifically ask yours?”
He Yingbo smiled even more happily when he was praised by Kronin.
However, when Kronin took a closer look and saw that it was Zhao Rui and the other three who were demonstrating to the other recruits, Kronin was obviously stunned.
“What? Chief Instructor, do you know them?”
Kronin didn’t know if he should tell He Yingbo about the incident where he caught Zhao Rui’s dormitory cheating when folding the quilts.
“Could it be that they had already left a deep impression on you before they were assigned to the sixth team? Quickly tell me, if they are good seedlings, then I will focus on training them harder in the future.”
Thus, under He Yingbo’s urging, Kronin told He Yingbo about the previous incident.
After hearing the chief instructor’s words, He Yingbo’s smile froze.
Zhao Rui and the other three of course saw Kronin arrive at the demonstration square.
His expression was cold, they were worried that the chief instructor would think that everyone was lying about the quilt folding.
But as long as Zhang Cheng folded the quilt neatly under the chief instructor’s gaze, then the misunderstanding would be cleared up.
However, because Zhang Cheng’s back was facing Zhao Rui and the others, the three people in the dormitory did not notice that Zhang Cheng’s hands were trembling!
Seeing that Kronin had also come, Zhang Cheng felt very nervous.
Because the chief instructor had previously warned them that if they did not fold the quilt properly, all of them would be doubly punished.
If he was careless and made a mistake, would he implicate the brothers in the dormitory and be punished together?
The more he thought about it, the more Zhang Cheng’s hands trembled.
“First, spread the quilt on the bed…”
Zhang Cheng braced himself and showed the freshmen how to fold the quilt.
But because of his nervousness and fear, both of Zhang Cheng’s hands were trembling. How could he fold it wellt?
What he made was not shaped like a piece of tofu. Instead, it was very ugly. Even every rookie who failed the internal affairs evaluation was better than Zhang Cheng.
He Yingbo ‘s mind was filled with questions. He walked to the four people and asked, “What’s going on? Why is it so ugly?”
Zhang Cheng could fold it neatly. The only reason he made a mistake was because he was nervous.
Zhao Rui immediately replaced Zhang Cheng and said to the instructor, “Instructor, there are too many people in the square. Zhang Cheng made a mistake when he was nervous.”
“A mistake? Or was it a fraud? Were you the ones who folded Zhang Cheng’s quilt for him in the dormitory?”
The instructor looked at the four of them with an ashen face. “I heard some bad rumors about you guys. Your dormitory has a history of fraud in the past. I hate people who think they are smart.”
“Instructor! We have changed! It was because I was caught cheating that Zhao Rui taught each of us how to fold the quilt! Zhang Cheng was really just nervous,” Chi Heng immediately explained to the instructor.
He Yingbo said sternly, “It better be like this. Then give Zhang Cheng another chance to fold the quilt in front of me. If he doesn’t fold it well, the four of you won’t get to eat tonight, and the training for the four of you will be doubled tomorrow and the day after!”
After the instructor said this, Zhang Cheng undoubtedly became more nervous. Initially, Zhang Cheng’s hands were just trembling, but now, even his shoulders were trembling.
In the eyes of those with ulterior motives, Zhang Cheng was not trembling because he was nervous, but because he was afraid of being exposed.
Zhang Cheng touched the cold sweat on his forehead and did not know what to do.
Just now, because of his mistake, the instructor began to doubt the efforts of his roommates.
If he made another mistake this time, he would implicate his brothers. There would be no dinner and the training for the next two days would be doubled!
Zhang Cheng did not want to implicate everyone. He wanted to fold the quilt properly, but the more he did so, the more Zhang Cheng trembled.
At this moment, a warm hand is suddenly put on Zhang Cheng’s shoulder.
Zhang Cheng turned his head and found that it was Zhao Rui.
“Zhang Cheng, you don’t have to think too much. Just do it. We all know that you can do it,” Zhao Rui looked into Zhang Cheng’s eyes and encouraged him.
Zhang Cheng said hesitantly, “But, what if I don’t fold it properly again? Wouldn’t you all…”
“Are you an idiot? We’re brothers in the same dormitory. Of course, we have to share weal and woe together.”
“Moreover, the first person to fold it and the last person to fold it will be nervous. If it were me, I might also make a mistake.” Chi Heng and Bai Xiaofei also comforted him.
Since his good friends in the dormitory had said so, how could Zhang Cheng be afraid?
It was as if he couldn’t see the square in front of him. Whether it was the new recruits or the instructors, they all disappeared.
Zhang Cheng had returned to the dormitory, and there was only a quilt waiting to be folded in front of him.
Zhang Cheng reached out his hand to the quilt without hesitation. In less than a minute, the quilt had turned into the shape of a piece of tofu after Zhang Cheng folded it neatly.
Then, the scene in the dormitory disappeared.
The sun at dusk shone warmly on Zhang Cheng’s face.
He did it. Zhang Cheng overcame his nervousness and folded the quilt in front of everyone.
“Well done. I misunderstood you guys.”
Seeing that Zhang Cheng had completed his task, He Yingbo apologized to the four people in Zhao Rui’s dormitory.
Not far away, chief instructor Kronin looked at the four recruits in a new light. He did not expect that they, who had been caught cheating not long ago, could train to perfection in such a short time.
These four recruits made Kronin feel that the future was promising. If this batch of recruits were like them, then there was no need to ask the people who didn’t pass the internal assessment evaluation to watch the demonstration..
