The line of the cable trench project also passed through an apple orchard, and the section of the road of the Second Artillery Company happened to be in the apple orchard, because the troops were going to enter the orchard for construction, and the local villagers sent additional manpower inside and outside the orchard as early as possible, for the simple reason that they were afraid that the soldiers would steal apples. After the Second Artillery Company gathered outside the apple orchard, the company commander talked about labor discipline for a while, especially emphasizing that it was not allowed to pick the apples of the villagers, and then let each platoon enter the orchard according to the divided road section, the section of the first row was just in the apple orchard, Sun Jiashu walked into the apple orchard with the whole platoon, the apple trees were very short, and the soldiers had to walk with their heads down to avoid being hung by the branches, only to see that the branches were hung with bunches of red apples, which were so red that they were attractive and fruitful, and the branches were bent, and it looked like this year must be a good harvest. The orchard is full of fruity fragrance, looking down at the apple tree, a lot of apples have fallen, it is also so red that it is tempting, it seems that it was arched by insects and fell to the ground, Sun Jiashu announced the disbandment after assigning labor tasks to the three classes, but I didn't expect that as soon as it was disbanded, several recruits ran to the tree and bent down to pick up apples, Sun Jiashu hurriedly whistled and gathered, and the whole platoon of soldiers felt very strange, why did they gather again just after disbanding?

Sun Jiashu said loudly: "Comrades, shall we sing a song now?" ”

"Okay." Although the soldiers of the whole platoon wondered, since the platoon commander shouted, then sing.

"Revolutionary soldiers should keep in mind and be ready to sing—"

"Revolutionary soldiers must keep in mind that they should pay attention to the three major disciplines and eight points, and first, they should obey the command in all their actions and move in unison in order to achieve victory. Second, I don't take a stitch from the masses, and the masses support and like me. Third, all seizures should be returned to the public, and efforts should be made to lighten the people's burden. We must achieve the three major disciplines, pay attention to the eight points, and do not forget; first, we must have a harmonious attitude when speaking, respect the masses, and do not play with pride. Second, the buying and selling price should be fair, and public buying and selling should not be overbearing. Thirdly, if the borrowed person has used it, return it in person and do not lose it. Fourth, if the thing is damaged, the compensation will not be worse than half a cent. Fifth, it is forbidden to beat or scold people, and the warlord style is resolutely overcome. Sixth, love the crops of the masses, and pay attention to the march and combat everywhere. Seventh, it is forbidden to molest women, and the habit of hooliganism must be resolutely eliminated. Eighth, it is forbidden to mistreat prisoners, beat and scold, or search their pockets. Everyone must be conscious of observing discipline, supervise each other and never violate it, remember clearly the rules and regulations of revolutionary discipline, and the people's fighters love the people everywhere and defend the motherland forever, and the people of the whole country support and welcome it. ”

"Everyone sings well, Zhang Ershun, what do you say about the second of the three disciplines?" The reason why Sun Jiashu asked Zhang Ershun was because several recruits from the fourth class had gone to pick up apples, and because he came out of the fourth class, the soldiers in the fourth class listened to him more.

"Yes, the second one is ......" Suddenly asked Zhang Ershun to answer what the second one was, and he couldn't answer for a while, so he had to hum the song quietly, and then he knew what the second one was, "Report to the platoon leader, don't take a stitch from the masses." ”

"The answer is correct, "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions" we are not here to sing, but to remind us to do it at all times, do you say we have done it?" Sun Jiashu said solemnly.

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, only then did I notice that a few recruits were holding apples they had just picked up, no wonder the platoon commander asked them to sing "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions", it turned out that these recruits had violated discipline. Their squad leader immediately reprimanded: "Put back all the apples you have picked up, you will be hungry." ”

A few recruits obediently put the apple back, and they were all muttering, "You didn't pick it from a tree, and you can't pick it up?" The platoon commander is really serious. ”

After the recruits returned, Sun Jiashu continued: "The second of the three disciplines is not to take a stitch from the masses, this stitch and thread is just a metaphor, that is, we are not allowed to take anything, and we are not allowed to move the rotten apples without the permission of the villagers." Have you ever heard of the idiom story "Under the Melon Field and Plum"? "Nope."

"Well, I'll tell you this story now: in ancient times, there was a scholar who went out, walked to the melon field and accidentally hung up his shoes by the melon vine, in order not to make people suspect of stealing watermelons, he didn't bend down to lift his shoes, when he walked under the plum tree, the hat was crooked by the branch, in order not to make people suspect of stealing plums, even the hat was not straightened, that is, "the melon field is not acceptable, and the plum is not crowned", after listening to this story, you may feel that this scholar is too pedantic, as long as he does not steal, what will happen if he lifts his shoes and holds his hat? This kind of thinking is extremely wrong. Now, if it were us and we walked into the melon field, and the melon field was full of watermelons, and if we walked here and happened to spread out our shoes and squatted down to tie our shoes, we would think that it was right to tie our shoes; The plum tree is full of fruit, and if we go under the plum tree and the hat happens to be touched and worn crookedly, we will definitely straighten the hat. Now that we are in the apple orchard, our warriors who went to pick up apples will also give themselves a reason, the apples are all rotten, and we will not say anything if we pick up the fellows. These behaviors have invisibly relaxed our own moral standards and violated the three major disciplines and the eight points of attention. The ancients still had the noble consciousness that "the melon field is not acceptable, and the plum is not crowned", not to mention that we are contemporary PLA soldiers? Are we inferior to the ancients? ”

Hearing this, the soldiers of the whole platoon felt that Sun Jiashu was reasonable, especially the recruits, who were even more convinced, and lowered their heads in shame one by one.

Sun Jiashu wasted no time in saying: "As a human being, we must be a person with noble morals and strict discipline, so that we can be worthy of our military uniform and our sacred mission." Let's start working, I'll see who wants to be a villain, disband. ”

The soldiers quickly returned to their lot and began to dig trenches, the apples on the ground can be seen everywhere, but the soldiers turned a blind eye, just buried their heads in work, after a while the body became hot, sweated as soon as it was hot, and the first-class sweat was thirsty, the top of the head was the apple that was within reach, look up, the red apples seemed to be beckoning to themselves, it was okay not to see the apples, it was even more thirsty to see them, it seems that the ancients said that "looking at the plum to quench thirst" is a lie, the apple is the more you look at the thirsty, picking an apple to eat is the best, But the platoon commander said that you must be a person with high morals, and you can't pick up apples that fall on the ground, let alone pick apples. The soldiers could only unscrew the kettle and drink two sips of water, or they could not see it, they were not upset, they simply lowered their heads and worked, and did not look at the apples, but the fragrance of the apples was still vigorously drilled into the nostrils, and it was strange not to look up. Damn, when you're done, you'll have to go outside and buy a box of apples and eat enough, more than one person thinks so.

At noon, everyone sat around the apple tree to eat, and today the water in the water bottle of the soldiers was drunk early, and everyone was talking about how big the apple was, how red it was, but I didn't know if it was sweet or not, and it was not in vain to be able to taste it.

At this time, the enthusiastic fellow came with a box of freshly picked apples, all large and red, and he took the apples and stuffed them into the hands of the soldiers one by one, but no one reached out to take them, and the fellow said, "What is the matter with you today?" Do you think the apples I grow aren't sweet? ”

Sun Jiashu said to the fruit farmers: "Big brother, thank you, it's not that your apples are not sweet, but that our army has a rule that you are not allowed to eat apples from the orchard." ”

The fellow said, "I can't send it voluntarily?" ”

Sun Jiashu said with a smile: "I can't buy it today, but after these two days, I came over to buy two boxes of apples for the soldiers to satisfy their hunger." ”

After hearing this, the fruit farmer stretched out his thumb and said: "I heard that the People's Liberation Army is strictly disciplined, and I have seen it today." ”
