Liu Dong took part in the news reporting training course organized by the division's propaganda section, and most of the participants were soldiers, and they were given lessons by section chief Wei and the information officer, starting with the six elements of journalism. Liu Dong was one of the most assiduous students in the journalism training class, because the training class was held in the divisional organs, and most of the soldiers who participated in the training were soldiers of the companies directly under the organs, and they just stopped participating in the normal training and work of the company, but they still had food and accommodation in their original companies.

The company has a fixed schedule and rest time, and when the lights-out horn sounds, Liu Dong runs to the water room with "Journalism". The light in the water room was not extinguished, and he carried a matza and a washbasin in his hand, which was buckled upside down on his lap and could be used as a table. He learned this trick from a veteran, and after trying it, the effect was not bad. Everyone else rested, only he sat in the water room reading books and writing articles. I don't know which faucet is not tightened, and the water is dripping like a ticking alarm clock.

In the journalism training class, he met Shi Lan, a hygienist at the Normal Hospital. Shi Lan was the only female soldier in the training class, and she seemed to be younger than all of them, she looked refreshing and refreshing, and she smiled and showed two small tiger teeth.

By the third day of the journalism training course, they had all learned to wait in the conference room of the Communications Section. It was Section Chief Wei who gave them a lesson that day, and Section Chief Wei hadn't come yet. Shi Lan was the latest to arrive, she glanced at everyone, and sat straight on the empty seat next to Liu Dong. When Liu Dong saw Shi Lan coming, he felt so nervous that he was terribly nervous. He unconsciously sniffed the good smell emanating from Shi Lan's body, and he actually felt like he was in a different world.

Shi Lan suddenly whispered to him: You are Liu Dong?

His face turned red, he didn't expect Shi Lan to know his name, so he nodded vaguely.

Shi Lan said excitedly: I know you, I have read the report you wrote in the recruit company.

Liu Dong later learned that Shi Lan and he were soldiers in the same year, and that group of female soldiers also had a platoon of recruits, but they didn't train with them, and in the division organ, there were a total of more than 20 female soldiers, divided into two squads. These female soldiers have two uses in the division, one is to call the class, and the other is to go to the division hospital, and Shi Lan works as a hygienist in the division hospital. Later, Liu Dong also knew that Shi Lan's home was also in the compound of the military region, and it was said that his father was a military cadre. After knowing this, he was a little puzzled, there were so many superior units in the whole military region, why did Shi Lan come to the 13th Division, which was the most remote and difficult in the whole military region?

Liu Dong slowly learned that Shi Lan did not write news reports, she wrote prose and poetry, and he later read Shi Lan's poems, which were published in the supplement of the newspaper of the military region, and the poem was written like this:

The peach blossoms in the mountains are blooming

Bees busy in the stamens

When you get home, please bring a letter

Tell him outside the mountain

The peach blossoms in the mountains are blooming

……

Liu Dong read this little poem several times in a row, and there was a faint thing in his heart, this little poem exuded a kind of elegance like Shi Lan, which could be seen but not touched, floating around in front of his eyes. After that, when he saw Shi Lan again, he had a different feeling in his heart.

After the completion of the press training class, under the leadership of the section chief and the information officer, the soldiers who came out of the training class were divided into three groups and went to the three regiments under the division to conduct interviews, which was regarded as an internship.

In that interview, one of Liu Dong's articles actually appeared on the second page of the "People's Liberation Army Daily". He wrote about an old platoon commander who had been rooted in the border defense for 13 years, and this platoon commander had been in the border defense company since he joined the army, until he was promoted, and he worked in the border defense company for 13 years in one go. In the past thirteen years, he has only been home twice because of the lack of transportation. The first time was when his mother died, the second time because he was married, and now his sons are four years old, and he hasn't seen it yet. Every year on his son's birthday, his wife would take a picture of the child and send it to him, and he could only look at the photo of his son when he missed the child. The platoon commander's deeds were very touching, and when Liu Dong wrote this press release, he was moved to tears.

As soon as this article was published in the "Jiefangjun Daily", the old platoon commander and Liu Dong became famous in the 13th Division. The cadres and soldiers who entered and exited the organs of the 13th Division asked who Liu Dong was. Those who knew pointed at Liu Dong with their hands, and Liu Dong was either training or standing on the sentry post at this time.

Section Chief Wei of the Propaganda Section said more than once in front of the leaders of the Police Communication Company: Liu Dong, this young man is a good seedling for journalism, and you have to give him the green light to become a talent.

The company commander and instructor nodded at Section Chief Wei.

Later, Lian Li really looked at Liu Dong differently. After the lights went out, the door of the company's duty room was no longer locked, which was specially reserved for Liu Dong, who could write or read in it with a book in a grand manner, and no longer had to hide in the water room.

Sometimes the company commander or instructor came back from his post and crept to see him.

The instructor said: Liu Dong, you are a talented man in our company, just say if you have any difficulties.

Liu Dong said sincerely: Thank you for the leadership's concern, I think it's good.

The leader said earnestly: The division leaders know you, and you will definitely not be wrong in your future future.

Liu Dong smiled, this is the result he was looking forward to. At this time, he thought of his mother, brother and sister, who had done so much for him, and now he not only cared for himself, but also began to care for his brother. My brother is twenty-seven years old, and for the sake of him and this family, he has not been married until now. As soon as he thought of this, he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to bang his head against the wall. Every time my brother replied, he always said: My affairs are not urgent, as long as you make progress, our family will be happy.

Shi Lan sometimes came to the agency to do business, and often went to the police to see Liu Dong. There is still some distance between the division hospital and the division headquarters, and there are not many opportunities for them to meet. Sometimes Shi Lan brought Liu Dong a book to read by herself, and sometimes borrowed books from Liu Dong to read. Every time Shi Lan brought Liu Dong a book, she wrapped the bookcase in newspaper, and Shi Lan's name was delicately written on the lower right corner.

Liu Dong read the book that Shi Lan lent him, and an unprecedented sense of happiness rippled up and down his body. There was a faint smell of Shi Lan's body in those books, and this smell made him obsessed. Most of the books Shi Lan lent him were literary books, where there were often some descriptions of love, and when Liu Dong read such a paragraph, his heart would pound, and Shi Lan's sweet smiling face appeared in front of him, lingering. As a result, he fell into an incomparably beautiful imagination.

Shi Lan came again, she stood outside the dormitory and shouted: Liu Dong, you come out.

Every time Shi Lan came, she called Liu Dong like this, and her voice was crisp and pleasant.

Liu Dong hurriedly ran out of the dormitory, holding the book that Shi Lan had lent him. At this time, Tamura also wandered out, and looked at Shi Lan and Liu Dong from a few steps away.

Shi Lan took back her book and handed Liu Dong a new book: I still have to go to the outpatient department to do errands, I'm leaving, goodbye.

After saying that, he turned around and walked lightly.

Tamura Heng in front of Liu Dong: Who is that?

Her name is Shi Lan, and she is from the Normal Hospital.

Tamura stretched his neck and looked at Shilan's back.

Liu Dong wanted to go back to the dormitory, but Tamura pulled him over and said: You kid, you can please the female soldiers.

Liu Dong's face turned red and said: "Where, we met in the journalism class, and she came to pick up the book."

After speaking, Liu Dong walked towards the dormitory. Tamura glanced at Liu Dong, and then at Shi Lan, who had already walked far away, with a face full of content.
