Chapter 20 Liu Dong's Staircase

Liu Dong participated in the news reporting training class organized by the Division’s Propaganda Section. Most of the trainees were soldiers. Section Chief Wei and the news officer taught them the class, starting with the six elements of news. At this time, Liu Dong realized that making news is important. Reporting still has so much knowledge.Liu Dong was the one who studied the hardest in the news training class, because this training class was held in the division organization, and most of the soldiers who participated in the training were soldiers of the company directly under the organization. They just didn't participate in the normal training and work of the company, but Board and lodging is still in the original company.

The company has a fixed work and rest time, and when the lights are blown, Liu Dong runs to the water room with "Journalism".The lights in the water room are always on, and he is carrying a mat and a washbasin in his hand, and the washbasin is turned upside down on his lap, which can be used as a table.He learned this trick from a veteran, and after trial, the effect is not bad.Everyone else was resting, only he was sitting in the water room reading and writing articles.I don't know which faucet is not tightened, and the water is flowing drop by drop, like a ticking alarm clock.

In the journalism training class, he met Shi Lan, a hygienist at the Teacher's Hospital.Shi Lan was the only female soldier in the training class, and she seemed to be younger than them all, with a clean look and two small canine teeth when she smiled. By the third day of the journalism training class, they had already learned to wait in the conference room of the Propaganda Department for the class.It was Section Chief Wei who taught them that day, but Section Chief Wei hadn't come yet.Shi Lan was the last one to arrive. She glanced at everyone and sat down on the empty seat next to Liu Dong.When Liu Dong saw Shi Lan approaching, he felt extremely nervous all over his body.He unconsciously sniffed the pleasant smell emanating from Shi Lan's body, and he felt as if he had passed away.

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 read your reports in the recruit company. Liu Dong later found out that Shi Lan was the same age as him, and that group of female soldiers also had a recruit platoon, but they didn't train with them. In the division, there were a total of twenty female soldiers divided into two squads.These female soldiers have two purposes in the division, one is the telephone team, and the other is to go to the division hospital, where Shi Lan works as a health worker.Later, Liu Dong also learned that Shi Lan's home also belonged to the military compound, and it is said that her father was a military cadre.After knowing this, he was a little puzzled. There are so many excellent units in the whole military region, why did Shi Lan come to the 13th Division, which is the most remote and toughest in the whole military region?

Liu Dong found out slowly that Shi Lan didn't write news reports, but she wrote prose and poetry. He later read Shi Lan's poem, which was published in the supplement of the newspaper in the military region. The poem was written like this: The peach blossoms in the mountains are blooming bee busy in flower stamen When you get home, please take a message 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 something faint in his heart. Like Shi Lan, this little poem exudes a kind of elegance, which can be seen but intangible. Floating around in front of my eyes.After that, when he saw Shi Lan again, he had a different feeling in his heart.

After the news training class was over, the fighters from the training class were divided into three groups under the leadership of the section chief and the news officer to conduct interviews with three regiments under the division, which was regarded as an internship. In that interview, one of Liu Dong's manuscripts actually appeared on the second page of the "Liberation Army Daily".He wrote about an old platoon leader who has been rooted in the frontier defense for 13 years. This platoon leader has been in the frontier defense company since he joined the army.During these thirteen years, he only went back home twice because of inconvenient transportation.The first time was when his mother died, and the second time was because of marriage. Now that his son is four years old, he hasn't seen it yet.Every year when the son celebrates his birthday, his wife will take a picture of the child and send it to him. When he misses the child, he can only look at the picture of his son.The deeds of the platoon leader are very touching. When Liu Dong wrote this press release, he was moved to tears.

Once this article was published in the "Liberation Army Daily", the old platoon leader and Liu Dong became famous in the 13th Division.The cadres and soldiers who entered and exited the Thirteenth Division asked who Liu Dong was.Those who knew pointed to Liu Dong with their hands. At this time, Liu Dong was either training or standing on the sentry post. Chief Wei of the Propaganda Section said more than once in front of the leaders of the police communication company: Liu Dong is a good seed for news, you should give him the green light to become a talent. The company commander and instructor nodded at Chief Wei.

From then on, Lian Li really looked at Liu Dong differently.After the lights were turned off, the door of the company's duty room was no longer locked. This was reserved for Liu Dong. He could write or read in it with a book in front of him, and he no longer had to hide in the water room. Sometimes the company commander or instructor Cha Gang came back and tiptoed to see him. The instructor said: Liu Dong, you are a talented person in our company, so please tell me if you have any difficulties. Liu Dong said sincerely: Thank you for the leadership's concern, I think this is very good.

The leader said earnestly: All teachers and leaders know you, and your future future will definitely not be wrong. Liu Dong smiled, this is what he was hoping for.At this time, he thought of his mother, brother and sister again. They had paid too much for him. Now he not only cared about himself, but also began to care about his brother.My brother is twenty-seven years old. For him and this family, he has not been married until now.Thinking of this, he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.Every time my brother wrote back, he always said: I am not in a hurry, as long as you make progress, our family will be happy.

Shi Lan sometimes comes to the agency to do business, and often visits Liu Dong at the Police Tonglian.The division hospital is still some distance away from the division headquarters, and there are not many opportunities for them to meet each other.Sometimes Shi Lan brought Liu Dong a book she read, and sometimes she borrowed books from Liu Dong.Every time Shi Lan brought books to Liu Dong, she wrapped them in newspapers, and Shi Lan's name was clearly written on the lower right corner. Liu Dong read the book that Shi Lan lent him, and he felt an unprecedented sense of happiness all over his body.Shi Lan's elegant smell remained in those books, which fascinated him.Most of the books that Shi Lan lent him were literature books, and there were often some descriptions of love in them. When Liu Dong read such passages, his heart would thump wildly, and Shi Lan's sweet smile appeared in front of his eyes, lingering. go.So, he fell into an extremely beautiful imagination.

Shi Lan came again, she stood outside the dormitory and shouted: Liu Dong, come out for a while. Every time Shi Lan came to call Liu Dong that way, her voice was clear and sweet. Liu Dong ran out of the dormitory in a hurry, holding the book Shi Lan lent him in his hand.At this time, Tian Cun also wandered out, looking at Shi Lan and Liu Dong a few steps away. Shi Lan took back her book and handed Liu Dong a new book: I have to go to the outpatient department to do some work, I'm leaving, goodbye. After speaking, he turned around and walked away lightly. Tian Cun Heng stood in front of Liu Dong: Who is that? Her name is Shi Lan, and she works in the division hospital. Tian Cun stretched his neck and looked at Shi Lan's back. Liu Dong wanted to go back to the dormitory, but Tian Cun pulled him over and said: You can do it, you can make the female soldiers like you. Liu Dong blushed and said, "Where is it? We met in the journalism class. She came to pick up the books." After speaking, Liu Dong walked towards the dormitory.Tian Cun glanced at Liu Dong, then at Shi Lan who had gone far away, his face was full of content.
