"Don't mind, brigade commander, this place is for errant cadres, you live here, what's going on!"

The brigade commander also joked with Meng Chuan at this time, "I am the brigade commander, where in the brigade can I not live?" ”

At this time, a voice came from outside the door, "Old Gu, I knew you were here." Didn't you just get angry and say that you would punish these people severely, why do you want to stay here now? ”

Meng Chuan saw that it was the political commissar who came, and quickly stood up, but just as he wanted to salute, he was pressed by the political commissar, "Okay, this is not working time, don't have so many rules, you see, what did I bring here?" ”

Brigade Commander Gu didn't have to guess to know, "Lao He, did you bring pig's head meat again?" ”

Political Commissar He took out two lunch boxes from behind his back and handed them over, "Open them and take a look." ”

Meng Chuan didn't understand what these two chiefs were doing, didn't they just finish eating, and they were going to eat again? Still eating in this lounge of your own?

Although he had a lot of questions in his heart, Meng Chuan still took the lunch box, opened it, and said, "This is pig's head meat again, and peanuts are rice, this is a standard appetizer." ”

The political commissar closed the door of the lounge, "That's right, it's a drink, you see what this is?" ”

Saying that, the political commissar took out a bottle of Red Star Erguotou from behind him, this Erguotou is not our common 100 ml bottle, but 500 ml, that is, one catty.

Oh my God, it's a weekday, and it's still at the brigade headquarters, what are these two chiefs going to do?

The political commissar smiled, "Xiao Meng, the guest house is outside the brigade headquarters, it's okay to drink a little wine." ”

These words made Meng Chuan even more puzzled, "Then you are greedy, what are you doing in my lounge to drink, I am a place where erring cadres stay, and you won't pick a good place to drink?" ”

However, the style of the two chiefs is unique, a cadre in this position, who still drinks a dozen yuan a pound of Red Star Erguotou, at least it must be the grade of Wuliangye's start.

Even if you break up the wine, you can't buy any good goods for a dozen yuan a pound.

The brigade commander was interested when he saw this second pot, "Lao He, you still know that I am so good." ”

Political Commissar He smiled, "We have been partners for so many years, I don't know what you are like." Today, after you saw the words that Xiao Meng was injured in the line of duty, his eyes lit up, and at this time, you must drink Erguotou, and I will be a good person and send you wine and food. Okay, the things have been delivered, and I'm not here, you two drink slowly, I'll go back first. ”

As soon as the political commissar left, Meng Chuan didn't know what to do with the wine bottle, whether to pour it for the brigade commander or not.

At this time, the brigade commander put a cup in front of Meng Chuan, "Xiao Meng, didn't you say that you are very comfortable to rest here, so just take a good rest and drink a little." ”

Meng Chuan is not hungry for wine, but it doesn't mean that he won't drink, besides, there are really a lot of troubles today, so Meng Chuan also sat down, "Just drink, with you as a big brigade commander to drink with me, I'm not afraid of breaking discipline." ”

The cup was full, and the brigade commander didn't clink glasses with Meng Chuan, and looked up and went in.

The brigade commander drank it, and Meng Chuan followed suit.

poured it on the brigade commander again, but the brigade commander still didn't speak, and still poured it in one gulp.

I poured three glasses in a row, which was at least two taels of wine and went down.

Meng Chuan didn't pour it for the brigade commander this time, "Brigade commander, I've never seen you drink like this." This is a fifty-six degree two-pot head, and it's not beer, it's used to quench your thirst, so you can pour it down. ”

The brigade commander smiled at this time, "Come, Xiao Meng, eat some food." ”

Meng Chuan put down the wine bottle, picked up the chopsticks and stuffed a piece of pig's head meat into his mouth, the pig's head meat was fat but not greasy, and the fragrance was enough, Meng Chuan praised it: "This pig's head meat is marinated well, a little taste." ”

The brigade commander knocked on the table, "Comrade Xiao Meng, this is made by the master of our canteen, and the cooking skills of nearly twenty years are here, so there must be nothing to say about it." ”

As soon as this wine was drunk, there was no distinction between superiors and subordinates, "Brigade Commander, it's good to put this pig's head meat outside, but in my case, it's still far from it." ”

"Oh? Xiao Meng, I thought you were quite modest, but I didn't expect you to be so arrogant. ”

Meng Chuan snorted, "Is it arrogant, when I have the opportunity to cook you a meal later, you will know if you taste it." Our great leader also said that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and you have not eaten it, so why should you say that I am arrogant. ”

The brigade commander didn't like to hear this, "Then tell me, what's wrong with this meat?" ”

Meng Chuan opened his mouth and came, "This meat is cooked to be tender, this canteen master is estimated to be specially made for you, I think you are old, your teeth are not good, and the cooking is too hard, you can't eat it." Although it takes care of your taste, the pork head itself has a lot of fat, and if it is too tender, it will highlight more oiliness, do you say this is a disadvantage. ”

The brigade commander listened to Meng Chuan's analysis, but it was reasonable, "Okay, then you can cook a meal for me later, I want to see how your cooking skills are, to see if your cooking skills are good, or if our master's cooking skills are good." But this pig's head meat is still delicious 20 years ago after all. ”

After the brigade commander said this, he suddenly choked a little, Meng Chuan raised his head and saw tears in the brigade commander's eyes, "Brigade commander, what's wrong with you?" Do you remember anything? ”

The brigade commander took off his coat at this time, then rolled up his sleeves and looked at the gunshot wound on his arm, "Xiao Meng, do you want to hear a story?" ”

"That was 20 years ago, and there has been a lot of peace in the southwest, and it's very complicated there. One day, a squad of fighters received an order from their superiors to go on a reconnaissance mission. Everyone knows that the mission is very dangerous, but no one will bow their heads, and they all stiffen their necks to carry out the mission. ”

"The night before, the squad leader took a bottle of Erguotou, as well as pig's head meat and peanuts for everyone to eat, in that era, only the Chinese New Year could eat such a good thing, everyone looked at such a good meal, and they all knew what they would face tomorrow."

"The next day they went up cautiously, and when the bullets flew past their ears, there was a soldier who was afraid, he was afraid of death, he didn't want to die. But he had to move forward, he cried and shouted that he didn't want to leave, and just like that, he dragged down the whole class, a class of six people, and he came back alone, because he didn't dare to rush up, so he dragged down the whole class. ”

"When he returned to the station, he thought he would be court-martialed, but because he was shot in the arm, his superiors decided to award him second-class merit, and he was sent to a military academy and then became an officer."

"And those five people eventually became a few tombstones in the martyrs' cemetery, just tombstones, because there are no ashes under the tombstones, can you understand that feeling."

When Meng Chuan heard the brigade commander's words, he suddenly remembered the ghost squad, "Tombstone? Ashes? Martyrs' cemetery? You may not know that sometimes people die and they can't even enter the martyrs' cemetery, or even know where they died. Do you think that living in this peaceful and prosperous world, you can speak arbitrarily and feel that the world is unfair? If it weren't for those who couldn't even find their ashes after death, you wouldn't even have a chance to live now. ”

Meng Chuan didn't know why he wanted to say this to the brigade commander, so he hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, brigade commander, I'm poor at drinking, and I'm talking nonsense." ”

The brigade commander could understand Meng Chuan's mood very well, "Your injury was suffered at that time." I know a little, sometimes, when you die, you die, and no one will remember you, and no one will know about you. Xiao Meng, do you blame the chief leader for letting you carry out the task in the first place? ”

Meng Chuan was stopped by the brigade commander, and after a long time, he whispered: "Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty. ”

The brigade commander seemed to have received Meng Chuan's answer, "Come, drink." ”

Whether it is the story told by the brigade commander or what Meng Chuan has experienced, they can't blame anyone, from the moment you step into the army, your fate is already like this, the army is not a place else, and it is not a place where you want to exercise yourself and leave if you want to.

This is a place where you need to be clear about your beliefs, and even a place where you need to sacrifice your life unconditionally to defend your home and country, which is in itself an unshirkable responsibility of a soldier, and it is also an unshirkable responsibility.

Tonight, Meng Chuan is like finding a bosom friend, he can pour out all the depression in his heart, and he doesn't have to worry that others will not understand his feelings, this feeling is really comfortable, very comfortable.

The two guards standing at the door didn't understand what was going on inside, they were yelling, crying and laughing, what the hell were the brigade commander and this captain doing.

Early the next morning, Meng Chuan got up on time, unlike other times, Meng Chuan was particularly energetic today, it seemed that he had removed all his fatigue, and he was full of energy, this feeling was like when he first joined the army, full of expectations for the military camp.

The brigade commander was also woken up by Meng Chuan's movement, "Xiao Meng, your routine is regular, you got up as soon as it was dawn." ”

Because Meng Chuan couldn't go out, he directly did push-ups in the open space of the room, "Well, I'm used to it, it's like this at school, and it's still like this when I get to the barracks, it can be said that I have lived on the word law for the first half of my life, and it has become a habit to get up at the right time." ”

The brigade commander has been in the barracks all his life, and if he wants to talk about the law, he can be regarded as the real law, "Do you want to go out to breathe and run with me?" ”

Meng Chuan directly did push-ups with one hand, and waved at the brigade commander with the other hand, "No, I'm fine in this lounge, if you want to run, run by yourself, I won't accompany you." ”

The brigade commander smiled, "I know that you kid is principled." Forget it, it's okay if you don't go out, anyway, the investigation team will come back at noon today, and you will be given whatever punishment should be given to you at that time, you kid will have to accept it honestly. ”

"Don't worry, comrade brigade commander, there is nothing I can't accept, you can handle it impartially."
