I am Zhu Chengyi, who joined the army in 1976, with a beautiful vision of the military camp, carrying a backpack full of dry food prepared by my mother for my hometown, and embarking on a journey to a certain unit in Northeast China with a group of equally excited recruits.

After a long day of trekking, we finally arrived at the barracks in the dark of night. However, when I saw the dilapidated warehouse-style barracks in front of me, I felt a sense of disappointment in my heart.

There was a musty smell in the air, the walls were mottled and the roof was leaking. Even so, we are full of hope and determination and are ready to work hard to show ourselves on this land.

Waking up in the morning, the chief of the division blew the whistle to start the meal, and the first meal of the recruit company was about to begin. We lined up neatly and walked to the cafeteria, our eyes shining. The table full of hot white flour steamed buns made people's hearts swell with inexplicable anticipation.

When you enter the cafeteria, steaming white flour steamed buns fill every table. The secretary stood at the front and instructed us to line up in shifts, and everyone couldn't wait to enjoy this long-lost luxury meal as soon as possible.

Because we, rural children, have almost no chance to see white-flour steamed buns at home, and can only live on coarse grains. At that moment, a sense of satisfaction permeated the restaurant.

Although the surroundings are simple and the walls are dilapidated, the delicious food in front of us makes us forget all about it for a while. The veteran squad leader was the first to step forward, skillfully took away a few steamed buns and a bowl of millet porridge, and then beckoned us recruits to come forward to receive them too.

We scrambled forward, grabbing steamed buns one after another, with irrepressible smiles on our faces. I was no exception, grabbing the steamed buns and gobbling them up.

The hot white flour steamed buns are soft and delicious, and with a bowl of warm porridge, it is simply a great delicacy in life. I silently counted the steamed buns I had eaten in my heart, as if I had an urge to see how many I could eat.

With each bite, I get more and more excited. In the amazed eyes of my comrades-in-arms, I ate 10 steamed buns one after another, and everyone had already begun to point fingers at me, "Zhu Chengyi, you can really eat!" A comrade-in-arms said with a smile.

At that moment, I couldn't stop and bit down the 11th and 12th ...... In the end, I ate a full 15 white-flour steamed buns and two bowls of millet porridge, and my comrades-in-arms coaxed: "Zhu Chengyi, what a 'white-faced big stomach'!" ”

After eating, we rubbed our stomachs and laughed and joked about our respective "achievements". Humorous banter and light-hearted laughter fill the air, temporarily relieving us of the stress of facing difficult conditions.

Even in the cold wind outside the barracks, our hearts became extraordinarily warm. Zhu Chengyi's title of "King of Big Stomach" has spread far and wide, but I know that there are actually many people in the company who eat more than me.

The comrades-in-arms joked with each other, and someone said: "You kid, you kid, you have to prepare a few steamed buns in the future before you can eat." After this meal, the distance between everyone was instantly shortened.

Our friendship grew in the dilapidated barracks, and we soon settled into each other's lives. In the following training, everyone gritted their teeth and faced strict discipline and difficult training.

Although we are tired, we always make some jokes and encourage each other. Although the training during the day was hard, the laughter in the barracks at night was incessant.

The secretary general and the veteran squad leader also often enlightened us recruits. They tell us that military life is serious, but not all harsh. Unity and discipline are all about unity and discipline in the barracks, and our recruit company is destined to be a warm collective.

Because everyone already saw each other's humor and enthusiasm from the beginning of the meal. Strict discipline and strict discipline no longer seem so unbearable in laughter and jokes.

This meal also became a symbol for our company of recruits. Whenever my comrades-in-arms call me "Big Stomach", I will respond with a smile: "Next time I will give you a performance and eat 20 steamed buns!" ”

This joke can cause a burst of laughter every time. During these days in the barracks, we tried to show our better selves in each other's company. In this way, we gradually adapted to the rhythm of the recruit company.

As the days passed, the training of the recruit company gradually escalated, and everyone sweated on the playground, running with all their might, climbing over obstacles, and practicing shooting.

The training day after day was physically and mentally exhausting, but at the same time, the understanding and friendship between each other deepened. In these days, Zhu Chengyi's name of "King of Big Stomach" is still circulating among everyone.

Every time they eat, their comrades-in-arms will always joke: "Look at how many steamed buns can the 'White Flour Big Stomach King' eat today?" ”

It's not always a time of laughter. The intensity of training is constantly increasing, and stress and exhaustion are attacking us from time to time. Once, I couldn't eat much because of gastrointestinal discomfort, and everyone gathered around and asked worriedly, "What's the matter, aren't the steamed buns delicious today?" ”

I was deeply moved by a simple greeting, and at that moment, I realized that my comrades-in-arms had already become like family. In the next few days, with the encouragement of my comrades-in-arms, I gritted my teeth and continued to train, not wanting to live up to this brotherhood.

The farewell day of the recruit company is approaching, and our hearts are full of mixed emotions. While everyone is looking forward to being assigned to a more challenging company, they are reluctant to spend this time together.

As the end of the recruit company, we held a simple farewell party. The comrades-in-arms sat around the open space of the barracks, playing the guitar and singing "Wait until this day next year", and the song was full of reluctance and expectation.

Someone choked up and said: "Zhu Chengyi, 'white-faced and big stomach king', you have to eat more and take care of yourself!" Listening to the laughter of my comrades-in-arms, I couldn't help but have red eyes.

Try to squeeze out a joke: "You wait, the next time we meet, I can eat 20 steamed buns!" ”

This joking sentence still makes everyone still find a trace of warmth in the sadness of farewell. Although we will go to different companies the next day, we know that the friendship and understanding of this recruit company will always be engraved in each other's hearts.

That night, we sat in the cold wind, humming this song together, looking at the twinkling stars above the barracks, and remembering each other's smiling faces in our hearts.

Years later, I still vividly remember those days in the recruit company. Especially the unforgettable first meal, the hot white flour steamed buns, and the rice bowl full of sweet millet porridge.

and the laughter and laughter of my comrades-in-arms one after another, all of which are deeply rooted in my heart. That dilapidated barracks carried our first dreams and a precious friendship.

Today, we are scattered all over the world, but occasionally we can get in touch with a few former comrades. Whenever we talk about those years in the barracks, we can't help but joke about each other.

Some people laughed and called me "the king of white noodles and big stomachs", and I would tease them to "wait for me to eat 20 steamed buns next time". The discipline, solidarity and deep friendship of barracks life have not only cultivated my will, but also given me firm confidence in the future.

Those days in the recruit company will always be a precious and unforgettable memory in my life.
