"Oh?" Zhu Yanyi and the other three looked at Luo Kun with curiosity. Luo Kun explained, "Do you remember what the instructor said when she left just now?"
"Tell us to rest early," Ma Yaya spoke up.
"Exactly," Luo Kun said. "Surprise night assemblies usually happen around two in the morning, when people are most tired and sleepy. Right now, we probably aren't very sleepy. But the instructor told us to rest early. As soldiers, we don't have the word 'polite' in our dictionary. This instruction to rest early must have a deeper meaning."
"So you guess there will be a surprise assembly tonight?" Zhu Yanyi understood Luo Kun's meaning. Zhu Yanyi was not a soldier, but in her previous life, she had watched many military dramas. Of course, her knowledge of military life from TV was limited. However, there was one common point in every drama: midnight assemblies, also known as temporary assemblies. These events always caused some minor problems or were used to highlight the protagonist's personality. She didn't expect to have this opportunity today. Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment: "In that case, let's rest early."
"I think we should stay awake and sit up," Zheng Feier suggested a bad idea.
Luo Kun laughed heartily and lay down on his bed directly. "Come on, what if they don't have that idea? I'm just guessing right now, so sleeping is a must. What if they don't assemble? Do you want to sit up all night? Do you still want to participate in military training tomorrow? Don't spread this bad idea; it's laughable."
Zheng Feier paused. It seemed true. After all, this was just Luo Kun's speculation. What if the instructor really just kindly reminded them to rest early? Sitting up all night waiting for a sudden assembly order seemed inappropriate. After thinking about it, she simply lay down on her bed directly. "Forget it. If there is an order, remember to wake me up."
Well, the entire dormitory lay down and really turned off the lights to rest early.
In the instructor's room, everyone gathered together to chat after checking the internal affairs. Soon, their assistant came in from outside. Instructor Chen asked with a smile, "How many dormitories went to sleep early after my reminder?"
The assistant replied, "Report. The boys' dormitories 203, 206, and 109 of Class 3, Grade 10, and only one girls' dormitory, 403, went to sleep early. Except for these four dormitories, the others are still talking and seem very excited."
Hearing this, Instructor Chen showed a fox-like smile. "Good. I hope they remain this excited in the latter half of the night."
As soon as Instructor Chen finished speaking, Instructor Ruan from Class 1, Grade 10, laughed. "Chen Lin, it's not good to be so gloating."
"As if you aren't gloating either," Instructor Chen glanced at Instructor Ruan. They were all here to be instructors; no one should laugh at the other.
"Actually, I am gloating. Look at how good the conditions are now, much better than our time. Today's children are a bit spoiled and can't endure some hardships. It's just military training. At this level, they still complain about suffering. They haven't tasted real hardship yet," Instructor Ruan said directly.
Instructor Chen nodded, his face unusually serious. "Isn't that right? They don't know how hard-earned their current life is. So, if we don't grind them down a bit, it really won't do."
