The following week saw deputy squad leaders sprouting up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
There were even squads with two or three rotating deputy leaders.
Each squad had entered a period like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, filled with self-proclaimed kings, brief yet glorious.
The new recruit group had entered the era of "reciting regulations"; starting from Monday, besides fixing beddings during rest times, everyone was reciting regulations. The squad leaders' slogan was, "Hold onto regulations with one hand, and bedding with the other, grasp both, and make both strong."
Life in Squad Nine, however, was somewhat difficult.
To be accurate, it was a bit oppressive.
Squad Leader Hao received a phone call on Tuesday and did not return until late. When he came back, Fang Huai, who was sensitive to changes, woke up and noticed a faint smell of alcohol.
Since then, the squad leader's expression carried a silent stance, not joking anymore during drill practice.
