When he first arrived at the company, Wang Linlin and his new comrades-in-arms went to the cooking class to help cook whenever they had free time. The so-called helping the kitchen is to wash the vegetables, cut the vegetables, and clean up by the way. However, the company's stove burns firewood, so sawing wood and chopping wood is also a very important work to help the cook.

Boulder Mountain is located at a high altitude and is perennially foggy. Under the circumstances at that time, the company's cooking squad could use firewood to cook rice, which should be the only option. The firewood was damp and had to be poured with diesel before it could be ignited, and the smoke was billowing out......

The firewood that the company usually burns is purchased from the market. However, on the evening of 30 May, Instructor Lin held a mobilization meeting for everyone, saying that the company had decided to send Bi Dingyuan, deputy company commander, to lead five veteran soldiers and seven recruits down the mountain to cut firewood......

On the afternoon of June 5, the people involved in cutting firewood moved into the Boulder Mountain Road Class. The old squad leader and several staff members of the Taoist class were particularly enthusiastic about their comrades-in-arms, and they vacated three houses and kitchens for their comrades-in-arms.

In the afternoon, after everyone settled down, they began to determine the location of the logging. Fortunately, there were a few older volunteers among their comrades-in-arms, and they quickly chose the site, and it was clear that they had a lot of experience in cutting down trees......

At night, the boulder mountain is pitch black. In the dozens of kilometers around here, there are only two units, the company and the Taoist class, and there are few people coming and going in normal times. Due to the influence of many other factors, the company and the Taoist class at that time had no power supply.

The veterans laughed and said, "Don't look at your usual, eating meat feels quite fragrant, in fact, some meat has already spoiled and tasted......"

Later, Wang Forest paid attention to observation, and sure enough, the veteran's words were true. Because the company's freezers had no electricity, they were rusty and merely an ornament, and the meat often turned bad or brownish-green, but the stomachs of all the people here seemed to be very compatible, and everyone was healthy and happy.

Before going down the mountain, Guan Baiqing, the squad leader, gave Wang Linlin two batteries, two dry batteries and a small light bulb. At the same time, he also made three newspaper drawings. These things look ordinary, but they cannot be measured by money and material things, because these things were very practical at the time, and they are the emotional embodiment of care and love.

At night, under the dim light, Wang Linlin's heart swelled with warmth......

Early the next morning, everyone brought saws, axes and machetes and began the logging work. Wang Linlin has no work experience in this area, but because of curiosity and the care of old comrades, he is in a good state despite being a little tired.

For the rest of the day, everyone took turns sawing or chopping down trees with machetes. But after three or five days, many of the new comrades-in-arms had blood blisters and blisters on their hands, and Wang Linlin had two blood blisters and multiple blisters on his hands...... Several old comrades have long been accustomed to it, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's like this at the beginning, just work for a few days." ”

Bi Dingyuan, the deputy company commander who led the team, is an easy-going and enthusiastic person. He is very concerned about all his comrades-in-arms, and often tells everyone to pay attention to safety, to be leisurely when doing things, and not to use too much force, so as not to be weak in the future......

On the evening of June 9, Deputy Company Commander Bi asked Wang Forest to return to the company and tell the company commander that he could send someone down the mountain tomorrow to pull wood. When he heard that he could return to the company, he was a little excited, so he ran five or six kilometers up the mountain, tired and sweaty.

When the squad leader saw Wang Linlin, he smiled happily and asked, "How is it, are you tired from work?"

"I'm not tired, but my hands hurt. After that, Wang Forest stretched out his hands with some grievances.

"What a stinky boy, and he still has a tough mouth. You sit still first, I'll go find a needle to release the blood in the bubble......" The squad leader said distressedly. After the processing was completed, he instructed: "Remember: don't get raw water in any way, and you'll be fine in two days." ”

Wang Linlin looked at the squad leader gratefully, smiled and nodded.

"Recently, have you studied how to report pictures?" asked the other party with concern.

"In the morning and evening, in my free time, I am studying. ”

The squad leader said with satisfaction: "That's right, chopping firewood is only a temporary task, and although it also requires dedication and hard work, it is the most important task of a soldier to learn professional knowledge to serve in combat readiness! As a soldier, only by learning professional skills can he become an excellent soldier." At the same time, it will be good for your personal growth and progress in the future!"

Life is always full of uncertainties, but a good attitude and correct and quick reaction are the best choices.

On the morning of June 10, the company's living car came to the vicinity of Daoban early. Company Commander Gao, squad leader and many comrades-in-arms came, and everyone helped load the wood onto the car. There is really a lot of strength in people, and the speed at which the trees are loaded is very fast.

After the loading was completed, the company commander and everyone went to the logging site in person, and even participated in the felling by themselves. The squad leader came to the vicinity of Wang Forest and watched his operation.

Seeing the arrival of the squad leader, Wang Linlin was deeply encouraged, and saw that he was holding the machete tightly with both hands, and the pieces of wood were flying horizontally under the knife.

Suddenly, the handle of the knife and the blade separated: the handle of the knife flew out while it was still in his hand, and the knife hit the trunk of a tree in the air, and then hit the door of the foreman......

"Ouch!" only heard the squad leader shout, and then held his forehead with both hands. Wang Forest was stupid, and everyone was stunned...... After everyone woke up, they gathered around.

Fortunately, the back of the knife smashed on the forehead! The injured part of the forehead was a little blue at first, and then slowly bulged, and in an instant it was the size of a goose egg...... The other party's eyes are getting smaller and smaller......

The person who has suffered such a catastrophe and is injured is also his respected squad leader. Wang Forest was extremely sad, and tears rolled down unconsciously......

Company Commander Gao Zhaosheng was more experienced, and immediately sent someone to find edible sesame oil to apply to the injured part of the squad leader; but the bulge after the oil was really funny, shining brightly in the sunlight......

Half an hour later, the squad leader's mood had stabilized, and the bag on his forehead showed no signs of continuing to expand. So, the company commander decided to take him back to the company.

Wang Forest was carefully sent to the car, as if he couldn't bear to leave. But seeing the squad leader grinning his teeth but comforting in a soft tone: "Forest, don't be sad! It's okay, you can go back to work......

Nodding guiltily, he watched the car leave, but Wang Linlin's heart always hung in his ...... Early the next morning, the squad leader specially sent someone to tell him: "I'm fine, I'm much better, please work with peace of mind." Only then did he relax.

After that, Wang Linlin has been haunted by this incident for many years: he felt guilty about the squad leader! He thought to himself that if there had been a chainsaw at that time, a few truckloads of wood might be able to be done in one day, let alone an accident at that time...... However, no maybe!

There are basic rules for cutting down trees: small trees cannot be cut down, sparse trees cannot be cut down, and thicker trees can only be selected for cutting in densely populated areas. In line with this rule, after a few days, everyone went all the way to the deep zone. Of course, in this way, people work harder.

During his breaks, or between work, Wang Linlin especially likes to listen to the stories told by the veterans. In particular, Fei Daoquan, a veteran volunteer, was most interested in some introductions about the past company.

Fei Daoquan, a tiger-backed bear-waisted is a typical northern man. He is a 78-year-old soldier and is considered an "old pole" in the company. Don't look at him usually doesn't talk much, if he is in a good mood, he is also clear and interesting when he tells stories.

During a day of felling and resting, Lao Fei said solemnly: "The initial garrison of Jushishan was composed of a battalion, which was divided into three companies, of which the female soldier company was on the air platform and the radar was two companies. ”

When the comrades-in-arms heard that there were many people, and there were also female soldiers, everyone's eyes lit up, and they hurriedly asked, "What about later?"

The other party replied solemnly: "Look, you monkeys are anxious, you haven't seen people like this, if you see real people, then it's okay...... So, there is no aftermath anymore. Seeing that everyone was a little disappointed, he smiled and said: "Later, due to many reasons, the female soldier company was abolished, and the two radar companies were merged into one company. ”

Although the story is not perfect, it evokes the infinite reverie and longing of many people. Later, Wang Linlin found many old barracks around the company: perhaps, there were really many troops stationed here at the beginning, but it is impossible to verify whether there was a female soldier company.

On the afternoon of 14 June, the company suddenly ordered all its comrades-in-arms who had participated in the felling of trees to immediately withdraw from the company. Wang Linlin was very happy, he was assigned to a row and a shift as he wished, and he was with the squad leader.

It turns out that Yutian County is the hometown of mushroom and white fungus cultivation that is famous throughout the country. Because the hot weather at the foot of the mountain is no longer conducive to the cultivation of edible mushroom seedlings, the local county leaders and the mushroom association want to borrow a few houses in the company for cultivating mushrooms. But when they were going up the mountain, they saw their comrades who were cutting down trees......

Company Commander Gao and Instructor Lin generously agreed to lend all the rows of houses in the newspaper room to the Strain Association in response to the request of the local leaders.

When the local leaders received satisfactory answers, they were naturally happy and grateful. Just when they parted, a leader of Yutian County said euphemistically: "On the way up the mountain, I saw that your soldiers were cutting firewood, which was really very hard, and we, as local leaders, felt very guilty and unbearable......!

The company commanders immediately said: "Please rest assured that all personnel will withdraw immediately!"

On the afternoon of June 15, local leaders sent two truckloads of firewood......
