The cooking class always seemed busy during the new recruit training.
The sound of a mess of chores gradually emerged, echoing in the territory of the cooking class as usual.
"We are going to till the soil?"
Becca Reyes looked at the hoe forcibly stuffed into her hand, her eyebrows couldn’t help but twitch, a layer of black fog seemed to shroud her face.
She and Flossie Wright were called over when they were still in training...
Just to take a hoe and till the soil?
"Is there a problem?" Neal Thompson handed the last hoe to Yvonne Watson. Hearing Becca’s somewhat unwilling tone, he immediately frowned and rebuked, "You are originally in the cooking class. You should prioritize the tasks of the cooking class. The training was fought for by your sergeant. If you don’t want to practice, then don’t. Yvonne Watson’s hands are blistered from the digging. Are you okay with that?!"
Neal Thompson had long had resentment towards Becca Reyes and Flossie Wright wanting to train like other new recruits instead of doing their tasks in the cookery class. However, because he didn’t dare to vent his anger at Flossie, he took the opportunity to make a scene with Becca.
During this time, the regular team members were out, and the work of the cookery class was relatively light, but they are returning today. The vegetables that should have been planted in winter haven’t been planted yet. So, they continued to dig the ground. The cooking class didn’t have enough people, so they called Flossie and Becca. Neal, who has a violent temper, started off with a cold demeanor. Hearing Becca’s words now, it would be strange if he didn’t get angry.
On the other hand, Becca just showed some surprise. She found it annoying that they were called back in such a hurry just to till the soil. After saying this, she was scolded by Neal. Naturally, she was in a bad mood. She glanced at Yvonne Watson who was standing on the side pretending to be quiet but had a smug look on her face, and she couldn’t help but snort.
"She got blisters because she never does any heavy work," Becca withdrew her gaze with some disdain, "If she doesn’t continue, how can she save face?!"
Flossie Wright, who was looking at the hoe in her hand, glanced at Becca unexpectedly. Seeing that Becca was unhappy, she neither argued nor helped, continuing to fiddle with her hoe.
Becca’s words were undoubtedly adding fuel to Neal’s anger, making it burn more vigorously.
"I really don’t know what kind of mentality the soldiers have nowadays. They don’t work hard themselves and they still look down on others!" As expected, he was so angry that his hands and feet were shaking. He looked at Becca angrily, "If it’s so easy for you, don’t eat unless you’ve got blisters on your hand today!"
Just after he finished speaking angrily, he vaguely felt a gaze from Flossie. He didn’t continue to argue with Becca. His flamboyance subsided a bit. He turned around without looking at Flossie Wright and left, trying to show a "I won this time" demeanor.
After being lectured for seemingly no reason by Neal, Becca was particularly annoyed. She even blamed Yvonne Watson a little, scaring her with a few glances that made her hurry away without daring to look at Becca.
"Bloody hell!" Becca gritted her teeth and cursed, finally couldn’t help complaining to Flossie, "My hands have already formed calluses from the training, when the hell will it blister?!"
Flossie looked at her with a hint of sympathy and gave her a chilling suggestion, "Try grinding with a rock."
All of Becca’s curses were suffocated back.
Honestly, Becca didn’t actually take Neal’s words seriously. When she finished her task, how could Neal really not let her eat? But whoever is lectured for seemingly no reason would feel uncomfortable. There’s always this feeling of being wronged with no way to vent the anger sticking in the chest.
