As the season enters late autumn, the weather is slowly getting cooler, and while the troops are actively training in peacetime, they will also enthusiastically plunge into the tide of the country's economic construction and support the construction of key state projects; the 3235th Regiment undertook a task of national defense construction, and was responsible for digging trenches and burying a section of a 50-kilometer-long telecommunications optical cable. The most arduous part of the project is to dig a ditch, the standard for digging a ditch is 1 meter 5 deep, 60 cm wide, because most of the places where the project passes are the people's crops, in order to minimize the destruction of the people's crops, the best solution is to dig manually, and the place where the optical cable passes through the stone blasting stone, the river crosses, and the road crosses.

The 141st Great Liberation Covered with a camouflage net continuously transported the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment to the construction site, most of the fiber optic cable lines passed through the crop fields, and the troops in charge of surveying in advance had sprinkled two straight lines with white lime, and they could not see the end at a glance, the wheat seedlings had just shown their heads, the malt was on top of a layer of dewdrops, and they jumped out of the car, and each platoon quickly assembled for pre-construction mobilization, and the soldiers of the cooking squad looked for favorable terrain to fix the dining car, which was used in the last campaign exercise, that is, a mobile kitchen, with everything, It can satisfy the food supply of a company.

"Comrades, the construction length of our platoon is a total of 300 meters, we have all seen, under the feet are the crops of the common people, has grown buds, most of us from the countryside, we know that it is not easy to grow crops, so we must destroy the crops as little as possible, we should dig out the soil as high as possible when we are constructing, the standard of our ranking and evaluation is not only the quality, the progress, but also the height, to see which class destroys the least crops, everyone says good?" Sun Jiashu said to Quan Pai.

"Okay—" said the whole platoon in unison.

"Yes, the soldiers of the following squads will be brought to the designated lot to start construction." Sun Jiashu ordered.

After a simple mobilization, the soldiers will be dug up in a row, the training ground is a pacesetter, the construction field should also be a pacesetter, in the army, the platoon commander generally does not need to do hands, only to do supervision and command work, but Sun Jiashu took the lead, personally undertook a 20-meter-long excavation task, one of his legs has undergone surgery, should not participate in heavy physical labor, injured leg as soon as the whole body sweats, but he still forced to dig down. Seeing that the platoon commander is doing it himself, who of the soldiers in the platoon is not working hard? In October, the temperature in the morning was still very low, and after everyone worked for a while, their clothes were soaked with sweat, and they had to take off their clothes and work shirtless one by one, and the whole construction site was in full swing. At the beginning, the progress of the project was very fast, but the progress of digging to a certain depth slowed down, the width of the ditch was only for one person, the shovel could not be waved underneath, and in order to minimize the destruction of the crops of the common people, the soldiers tried their best to pile up the excavated soil king, they could only dig out the soil little by little like voles, their bodies were covered with soil, and they were washed by sweat and turned into a lock of mud, and no one cared about wiping, they were all racing against time to do it.

There was a rumbling sound of artillery in the distance, it was the brother company digging stones, the shovels and pickaxes were already powerless, so they had to bring in rescuers, the officers and men of the engineer company began to use explosives to open the way, and the companies that did not dig the stones were secretly glad that they had been assigned a good lot.

At noon, the officer on duty blew the whistle to open the meal, and the officers and soldiers climbed up from the ditch one by one, Sun Jiashu felt that his injured leg hurt like a pinprick stick, needless to say, it must be swollen, and his leg hurt so much that he couldn't walk, so he had to drag it along.

The duty officers of each shift carried two large pots, one for rice and one for vegetables, and lined up to bring rice and pot vegetables from the cooking class just like during field training, and then one class gathered in a circle to eat.

Sun Jiashu habitually came to the fourth class, Zhang Ershun diligently picked up the bowl to cook for him, and then Li Xiwa shouted: "Platoon leader, you are now the platoon leader, not the fourth squad leader, you shouldn't always run away in the fourth shift, come to our first class to eat." ”

Sun Jiashu said to Zhang Ershun with a smile: "No, there is an opinion, today I will go to the first shift to eat, and tomorrow I will go to the second shift, one liner for one day." ”

"Go ahead platoon commander, lest they give advice." Zhang Ershunbing didn't mind.

Sun Jiashu dragged one leg to the first class, Li Xiwa hurriedly stood up to give way, Sun Jiashu just wanted to squat down, a piercing pain hit, he hurriedly straightened up and said: "There is a mound over there, I'll sit there and eat." ”

Li Xiwa reached out and grabbed Sun Jiashu's lunch box, picked up a box full of rice and vegetables from the basin and handed it to Sun Jiashu, Sun Jiashu said, "Thank you, I can't eat so much." He limped towards the small mound. He sat down with difficulty, eating and watching the soldiers in the company. I don't know what to do when I am a soldier? Some of them are going to be discharged in a month, and they are still so motivated, and some veterans have not even become a deputy squad leader, and they are still carrying two narrow bars on their shoulders before they are discharged, and he has infinite emotion in his heart, if there is an obscurity award, our soldiers have no doubt to get it first.

In the next few days, the officers and men were digging and digging, the project continued to extend forward under the feet of the soldiers, most of the routes passed through crop fields, but sometimes they also passed through mountains and rivers, the project of the Second Artillery Company was blocked by a small river, the river was not deep, but it was enough to drown the knees, according to the technical requirements of the project, the fiber optic cable must be buried 1 meter deep below the bottom of the river to ensure that the fiber optic cable was not damaged, which can stump the officers and men of the Second Artillery Company, and they can't dig into the water, right? After discussing with several platoon commanders, the company commander decided to build a dam to intercept the flow of water at the narrowest and narrowest part of the upper reaches, and to seize the time to dig a ditch when the water is shallow downstream, and to release water if the water accumulates too much in the upstream.

After the work was deployed, everyone went their separate ways. Li Xiwa took some people to the upstream to intercept them, and Zhang Ershun, the fourth squad leader, was responsible for digging a trench downstream. It didn't take much effort, the river water has been blocked by the embankment built upstream, the soldiers downstream quickly rolled up their trouser legs and jumped into the water, the water was bitterly cold, but no one flinched, the soldiers waved their shovels and drank, the surface of the river bottom was sand, but the bottom of the river was small stones, and then the deeper the digging was the big stones, the deeper the digging the bigger the stones, and finally the shovel was no longer effective, and could only be dug little by little with a steel pickaxe, and some of the soldiers had to keep scooping water out with a basin, and after a little stop, the ditch dug would be full of water.

Everyone was racing against time to do it, and at this time, news came from the upstream: evacuate quickly, the water is about to overflow. The fighters downstream quickly carried out the bottom clearance work. Sun Jiashu vigorously pryed a big stone, which was the last obstacle in this ditch, and he was about to bend down to move the big stone, when Zhang Ershun, the fourth squad leader, shouted: "Platoon leader, come up quickly, the water is coming down." Sun Jiashu didn't seem to hear it, he was lucky, he picked up the big stone, if he didn't take it out, he would have to build a dam to block the water.

As soon as he straightened up, the water spilled down and wet his waist......

Zhang Ershun hurriedly took the big stone in Sun Jiashu's hand, and the other soldiers dragged their platoon commander up with all hands and feet, and then looked at Sun Jiashu, all wet from the waist down, and his pants were tightly attached to his legs, Zhang Ershun took off his pants without saying a word, and he only wore a pair of autumn pants, he took the pants and said to Sun Jiashu: "Platoon commander, quickly take off the wet pants and put on my pants." ”

"Put it on, I'll take it off and twist it." Sun Jiashu didn't want to change.

Zhang Ershun glanced at several soldiers in the class, and the soldiers in the class set up Sun Jiashu and forcibly removed his pants, leaving only a big pair of trousers, Sun Jiashu's injured legs were all exposed, and the injuries left by the operation were clearly visible, and the wounds were already swollen like buns.

The eyes of the soldiers present were red, and Zhang Ershun choked up and said to Sun Jiashu: "Platoon commander, you can't do this anymore, if you continue like this, your leg must be crippled." ”

Sun Jiashu hurriedly put on his pants and said to Zhang Ershun: "Isn't it just swollen?" What's all the fuss? Don't let Renli know. ”

"It's okay not to let the company know, but you have to promise me that you can't do it yourself in the future, you are the platoon commander, as long as you command it." Zhang Ershun said.

"Okay, I'll only command." Sun Jiashu hurriedly agreed.

At this time, a squad leader, Li Xiwa, ran over from a distance, and he asked, "What happened?" Fourth squad leader, why aren't you wearing pants? ”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer, Sun Jiashu hurriedly said: "The water came down too violently just now, and the fourth squad leader was washed away by the water." ”

Li Xiwa smiled and said to Zhang Ershun: "You, we have warned you upstream that you are about to mention, so it's no wonder that we are going to mention it." ”

Zhang Er hurriedly said: "I don't blame you, I don't blame you." ”

Li Xiwa smiled and walked away.

Back in the barracks, the first thing Sun Jiashu did after entering the house was to change his pants, take off his pants, and saw that his legs had been blistered white, especially the injured leg, which was obviously much thicker, he reached out and gently rubbed his knee, feeling a faint pain inside, it seemed that his knee was not fully recovered, he gently rubbed his knee to reduce the pain, and suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door, he hurriedly put on his pants again.

The door opened, and the correspondent Xiao Wang came in, and he said as soon as he entered the door: "Platoon commander, your letter has been returned again." "The original correspondent, Xiao Lizi, has been discharged from the army.

Sun Jiashu took the letter and smiled bitterly: "Why is it always returned?" The address is not wrong, huh? ”

"Could it be that the people are not there anymore?" Xiao Wang asked.

"I can't say for sure, Xiao Wang, you sit."

"Platoon commander, I still have something to do, don't sit down, I'll go first." Xiao Wang said.

"Thank you, come and play often." Sun Jiashu said.

"Platoon commander, I want to be admitted to the military academy next year, and I will trouble you in the future." Xiao Wang walked to the door and suddenly turned around and said.

"Really? You are welcome to come often. Sun Jiashu said happily.

After Xiao Wang left, Sun Jiashu fell into deep thought: This is the third letter that has been returned, where did the green leaves go? How could there be no such person? I just don't want to see me say anything, so I won't hide all day? Did the letter I wrote hurt Green Leaf deeply? However, it was the green leaves who wrote the letter of renunciation first? Now it seems that he really can't give up this relationship, he has deeply regretted it, he is not a disabled person now, how can he give up this relationship easily, but when he wants to save this relationship, the green leaves have disappeared without a trace, green leaves, where are you? Sun Jiashu decided that no matter how busy he was after the cable trench project was over, he would have to go back to his home in person, no matter where Luye was hiding, he would find her, and he must ask the reason face to face, if she really didn't love herself, he could completely accept Jiang Shan.

"Inseparable Love"

Determined to give up this relationship/

Only to realize that I was not firm enough/

I miss your thoughtfulness / I miss your tenderness /

I still miss your sweet smile/

The emotions of longing are like vines that spread and breed/

My world is surrounded by you/

Where are you/

I'd go crazy without you/

Where are you/

Without you, everything is empty/

In this life, in this life, you are all I have/

The ends of the earth will also walk with you/
