Chapter 10 chapter Ten

Chen Qi was surprised.When he first took over Zhou Dongjin's stack of blueprints, Chen Qi felt disapproving.He couldn't imagine what a decent head of the border guards could design.But after seeing the drawings, Chen Qi was really taken aback.It's not because of how well those blueprints are drawn, to be honest, those blueprints are really drawn out of order. What surprised Chen Qi was Zhou Dongjin's design ideas.Chen Qi didn't expect Zhou Dongjin to be very thoughtful. Simply put, these are two designs.One is the electronic tracking monitoring system, which is used for long-distance and large-scale monitoring.This is a set of equipment that can replace the current patrol method and monitor the border situation in a timely and accurate manner in the command center.The other is a multifunctional frontier field duty vehicle.Zhou Dongjin designed this car with so many functions and so advanced that Chen Qi did not expect.It has ten functions such as infrared night vision function, electronic scanning monitoring function and field survival reserve.These functions can not only fully guarantee the mobility of the field duty vehicle, reach the border area where the situation occurs in the shortest time, ensure that the least force is used to deal with enemies that are several times larger than itself, but also ensure that a patrol team can go out in the snow for a week Survive.These two designs complement each other. Once the electronic tracking and monitoring system discovers the situation, the field duty vehicle can be dispatched immediately to deal with various border emergencies in a timely manner.

It can be seen that Zhou Dongjin wants to completely change the current border duty method that relies on two legs to patrol and observe the enemy's situation with the naked eye.He wants to use modern technology to design a pair of keen eyes and a pair of powerful fists, through the cooperation of eyes and fists, to achieve the goal of eye to fist, to build an impeccable border line.It's a pity that Zhou Dongjin is too inexperienced. He really doesn't understand the new technologies that may be borrowed. He doesn't know which advanced methods should be used and how to use these advanced methods to realize his own ideas.

Flipping through the thick stack of meticulously drawn drawings, Chen Qi felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.It can be seen that Zhou Dongjin has put a lot of effort into this. A layman like him really doesn't know how many professional books, how much technical information, and how much time it takes to get to the current level.According to Chen Qi's observation, as the leader of the regiment, Zhou Dongjin doesn't seem to have much time at his disposal.These drawings were probably drawn by Zhou Dongjin in the dead of night after Zhou Dongjin finished handling the trivial matters in the regiment.Chen Qi couldn't help being a little moved.Following Zhou Dongjin and making a big circle below, Chen Qi had the opportunity to have a better understanding of Zhou Dongjin.If he hadn't been too disgusted with Zhou Dongjin's tricks to get him into the border defense regiment, Chen Qi might really like this regimental leader who did things out of line.

I have to admit that there is something about Zhou Dongjin that attracts Chen Qi very much. Chen Qi can't tell what it is, maybe it's the kind of vitality that doesn't match Zhou Dongjin's age and status.Chen Qi found out that Zhou Dongjin loved sports very much. Every time he went to a company, Zhou Dongjin would yell and play basketball with the soldiers.At first, Chen Qi thought that he was just a little gimmick to entertain the officers and soldiers, but after a few games, he found that Zhou Dongjin was purely because he played well and found a place to enjoy himself.As soon as he got on the court, Zhou Dongjin was extraordinarily excited, running, fighting, and fighting for a ball just like the young fighters who were 20 years younger than him.Strange that no one let him. "Let it go?" When the old staff officer who acted as the referee answered Chen Qi's question, he exaggerated the expression on his face: "Who dares to let it go? Isn't that using the pole to seek medical attention?!" The old staff officer told Chen Qi that once A very well-behaved acting instructor deliberately favored Zhou Tuanzhang when he was the referee. Zhou Tuanzhang was impatient at that time, threw the ball hard, turned around and left, quitting the game. "Guess what happened?" the old staff officer said gloatingly, "That instructor had to live for half a year before bringing it up! Let me tell you, it's fine for you to get bruised and swollen with the head of the team for a ball, but don't let it go." He, if he is wronged like that, if he doesn't say anything, he will definitely not be able to please him!"

What surprised Chen Qi the most was Zhou Dongjin's fitness method.Zhou Dongjin would practice push-ups and sit-ups every night before going to bed.Then, wearing only a pair of shorts, he stood in the snow and wiped himself with dry snow.The first time he saw Zhou Dongjin doing this, Chen Qi felt a chill in his heart. Seeing Zhou Dongjin yelling "Aha", grabbing the snow and rubbing it on his body, rubbing his whole body red, Chen Qi felt He sucked in the cold air one after another, and got goosebumps all over his body.Zhou Dongjin proudly told Chen Qi that this is the "snow bath fitness method" he created, saying that the reason why he can maintain his current physique is entirely the result of insisting on "snow bath" for more than ten years in the frontier defense.He also declared that as long as Chen Qi wanted to, he could pass on the secret of this "snow bath fitness method" to Chen Qi without reservation.Chen Qi found that Zhou Dongjin's strong and well-proportioned muscles and flat and compact abdomen were not only rare among middle-aged people, but also rare among young people.Chen Qi himself is a bean sprouts, so he is often ashamed to show his breasts in front of others, so he envies Zhou Dongjin's strong body from the bottom of his heart.It's just that he really disliked Zhou Dongjin's undisguised show off, so he deliberately looked dismissive, saying, who knows if your "snow bath fitness method" is scientific or not?Zhou Dongjin said that the great leader Chairman Mao taught us that if you want to know the taste of a pear, you have to taste it yourself.You can try it.Chen Qi immediately shrank his neck and took three steps back, saying, Commander, please forgive me, I still want to leave this small body to contribute to the construction of our army.Zhou Dongjin patted his body back and forth with a smile and said, then you should practice your small body even more.As a soldier, you must first have a good physique.Broad shoulders and broad chest like me, neither fat nor thin, absolutely meet the requirements of military service regulations.Chen Qi burst into laughter, and said, Commander, why haven't I heard that there are requirements on weight and body shape in the military service regulations?Haven't heard of it?Zhou Dongjin recited solemnly, the fifth revision of the "Chinese People's Liberation Army Active Service Officers Service Regulations" Article 20, paragraph 6: active service officers should strictly implement the weight standards set for different age groups.Check every six months. If you find that you are overweight, you can give a warning first, and you can reduce your weight within half a year.After half a year, if the weight still cannot drop to normal, he should retire from active service immediately.Chen Qi had never heard of this regulation before, so he couldn't help being stunned. Thinking about it carefully, it's not right. The officer regulations were only enacted in 1988. Up to now, they have been revised twice at most. What he said just now is the fifth time. What about modification?Chen Qi suddenly realized, and said that you are really fooled, the leader, and you are the one who revised it for the fifth time, right?That's right, Zhou Dongjin said, if there is a day when Zhou Dongjin has the final say, I must add this one!Chen Qi laughed loudly, saying that this is not going to work for you, leader, and you don't even think about it. If you really add this, what will those big-bellied chiefs do?Zhou Dongjin replied viciously, what should I do?Let's fuck!go for a run!Do military gymnastics!There is still no way, it depends on whether you are willing to endure the hardship, and whether you want to be a real soldier!Chen Qi said, regiment leader, this is a bit too extreme, soldiers are not made of models, besides, being fat doesn't affect the fighting.The soldiers are deducted from the mold of the army!You have to look like a soldier!Zhou Dongjin said impassionedly, "I don't believe that a military commander who is full of fat and wheezes when he walks will give his soldiers a sense of trust!"A general who can't even buckle his armed belt with a big belly will give his soldiers a sense of professional soldier's pride!After finishing speaking, Zhou Dongjin dumped a basin of snow in his pocket, shouted "Aha", shook off the snow on his body, and ran back energetically.

Chen Qi kind of likes Zhou Dongjin's idealistic military feel, but he doesn't like Zhou Dongjin's self-righteousness and his vanity that likes to show himself too much.Zhou Dongjin's self-righteousness and vanity are undisguised, including his stiff body, stiff military uniform, tight belt, shiny leather shoes, and snow-white gloves, as well as his off-the-cuff boasting and timely self-praise.On the court, Zhou Dongjin's energy was most prominent.Whenever he throws a good ball or makes a beautiful move, he will triumphantly turn his head to see the reaction of the audience, and even take the lead in applauding himself.That uncontrollable energy made him look like a competitive kid, giving people a feeling that he was not deep, immature, or even childish.

Chen Qi didn't know why he took these blueprints in a daze.It's a little too much to say that he was moved by Zhou Dongjin, but Chen Qi thought that he was not easily moved by anything.At that time, there was a little bit of moving, and a little curiosity, but more of it was the obedience of the subordinates to the superiors.Although Zhou Dongjin didn't order him, even though he had enough reasons to refuse even if he was ordered, he still accepted it.After accepting it, Chen Qi thought, anyway, he has been brought to this place where rabbits don’t shit, and seeing Zhou Dongjin’s posture, he will never let him go easily, why don’t he do something first, maybe Zhou Dongjin can do it well As soon as any tendon slipped, he would really be kind enough to let himself go.Thinking of this, Chen Qizhen began to study those blueprints.

Strangely, when Chen Qi carefully studied these blueprints one by one, he felt a feeling that he was gradually approaching Zhou Dongjin.From those monotonous lines and boring figures, Chen Qi seems to have gradually touched the thread of Zhou Dongjin's thinking. There is a ubiquitous worry and anxiety about the current situation of the army. When these worries and anxieties are carefully drawn into lines When it comes to numbers and numbers, it makes people feel a kind of spirit-the perseverance and perseverance of tenacious pursuit of goals. Involuntarily, Chen Qi threw himself into it with all his heart.

Zhou Nanzheng found that Wang Yaowen was a good material!Brain, sense, sense of proportion.Nan Zheng has always believed that the most important thing in dealing with people is to grasp the proportion.Proportion is a very delicate thing, it has no clear boundaries, it is grasped entirely by feeling, it is not enough to owe, and it is not good to pass, the difference between them is often only in the slightest. If you don't grasp it well, it's difficult to follow the time and weather.In the past few days since he came to the Second Regiment, Wang Yaowen has been by his side all the time, but he is not like some grassroots cadres who will not leave you every step of the way when they see someone from above. You are so enthusiastic that you have nowhere to hide Get in.Wang Yaowen went up when he should, and retired when he should.When you need him, he will be waiting by your side; when you don't need him, you don't need to express, he has already withdrawn quietly and left, always doing it warmly and thoughtfully, and never making you feel any inconvenience.Nan Zheng thought, no wonder he was asked to form a team with Dong Jin, probably only someone like him could form a team with Dong Jin.

Dong Jin only occasionally took a look at his face, and didn't know what he was busy with all day long.Hearing from Wang Yaowen that Dongjin is organizing two researches on equipment, Nan Zheng is very disapproving of this.Doing things is all based on interest, and you can't tell the priority from the secondary, and you can't weigh the importance. This is Dongjin.Judging from the current situation, catching Zhu Zhiqiang as a typical example can be said to be the top priority in determining the fate of the Second Regiment and Dongjin. If he does not actively intervene but spends his days doing research on equipment, this is not leaving the watermelon to wander around. Want to pick up sesame seeds?After all, equipment is not something that you, a grassroots regiment leader, should worry about.The General Armament Department is in charge at the top, and the Armament Department of the military region is in charge. Why is it your turn to do research?Besides, if you have no technical strength and no financial support, what can you come up with?This anger has been held in my heart for several days, and Nan Zheng is going to take time to talk to Dong Jin.

To Zhou Nanzheng's delight, the work in the past few days has been progressing smoothly with the cooperation of Wang Yaowen.After preliminary understanding, Zhu Zhiqiang is indeed a very good soldier, and the reactions to this soldier are good from all aspects.The most rare thing is that Zhu Zhiqiang has a good mass base. Many fighters took the initiative to find the working group to report Zhu Zhiqiang's deeds, and provided the working group with clues to the good people and good deeds Zhu Zhiqiang did before his death. Many advanced deeds are indeed very touching.Zhou Nanzheng has been weighing Zhu Zhiqiang's weight in his heart. It seems that as long as the basic facts can be confirmed, there should be no problem in making this model a reality and making it bigger.Today, Zhou Nanzheng ordered the working group to go down and verify Zhu Zhiqiang's advanced deeds one by one, requiring the provider to write written materials and sign and seal each matter. It is best to have more than two people's verification materials for one event.After explaining the work to everyone, Zhou Nanzheng glanced at Wang Yaowen who was waiting beside him and said, "Commissioner Wang, you can accompany me to the scene where Zhu Zhiqiang died today." On a windless day, it is a good day to show off your charming and coquettish posture with the still snow.The snow covers up the dirt marks and turbidity with thick whiteness, dissolves the edges and corners of the peaks and the sharpness of the rocks with soft curves, and blocks the noisy hustle and bustle with gentle monotony, giving you the tranquility and simplicity. , give you the impulse to hug, let you think that soft thing is warm for a while, and forget its coldness and cruelty for a while. Zhou Nanzheng stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the bottom of the valley several feet deep for a long time. Wang Yaowen watched Zhou Nanzheng nervously. Commissar Wang, Zhou Nanzheng said, I have a question I've always wanted to ask you. Wang Yaowen's eyebrows twitched, and he hurriedly asked Minister Zhou what he wanted to ask? Do you have any regulations to ensure the safety of patrolling the line? Yes, there must be more than two people patrolling the line, and no single person is allowed; the line patrol must strictly follow the prescribed route, and you can only move within a safe range of about ten meters near the line, and you are not allowed to leave the safe range; when patrolling the line, it is strictly forbidden to hunt down wild animals and birds , don't... Then, Zhou Nanzheng turned to face Wang Yaowen, looked into his eyes and asked, this place is at least 500 meters away from the pole, why did those two soldiers leave the prescribed route and come here? The wind and snow were very heavy that day, and the wind was blowing white, so the visibility was very low.Moreover, that Lu Sheng was a new soldier, and he was not very familiar with the route of patrolling the line. He was the one who deviated from the route and came here first.Wang Yaowen answered fluently, but seemed a little hasty. Zhou Nanzheng pondered for a while and said, you have to tell me clearly, did these two soldiers violate the safety regulations? ... You know, first of all, there is a definition problem in this matter. If the casualties are caused by violating safety regulations, it should be handled as an accident... Minister Zhou... Don't rush to explain.I found you alone today just to have a good talk with you about this issue. Wang Yaowen quickly retrieved the situation of the past few days in his mind, he had to figure out Zhou Nanzheng's thoughts.After a few days of contact, Wang Yaowen discovered that Zhou Nanzheng and Zhou Dongjin had completely different personalities.Zhou Dongjin appears to be full of arrogance on the surface, but in fact he is easy to get in touch with.Zhou Nanzheng belongs to the kind of person who is easy to contact on the surface, but in fact it is difficult to approach.If Zhou Dongjin is a thin-skinned fruit whose raw and ripe red and green are written on his face through the skin, then Zhou Nanzheng is a hard-shelled dried fruit. Vigorously.It takes a little effort to figure out Zhou Nanzheng, but fortunately Wang Yaowen has some ideas in his heart. After all, Zhou Nanzheng is Zhou Dongjin's older brother. He was able to bring the working group here not only because of his duties, but also to help the second regiment. In order to help Zhou Dongjin, with this major premise in place, many things will be easier to handle.Wang Yaowen was just not sure whether he should tell Zhou Nanzheng the real situation.From the point of view of his original intention, he didn't want to say that if one more person knows about this kind of thing, it will increase the possibility of spreading outward. He must control the number of people who know the real situation to a minimum. Besides, he is still not sure if Zhou Nanzheng knows. What will be the attitude after the real situation.But not to mention, he was afraid that if some rumors had already reached the working group, Zhou Nanzheng wanted to help him, but he insisted on it and made the matter stiff.Today, as soon as Zhou Nanzheng asked him to accompany him alone to see the scene, he guessed that he had something to talk to him about.Therefore, Wang Yaowen didn't dare to idle his mind along the way, and he kept thinking about Zhou Nanzheng nervously.Sure enough, Zhou Nanzheng stabbed the right place with a knife, Wang Yaowen thought, he had better stabilize himself first, and find out what Zhou Nanzheng wanted to say, instead of talking to death all at once. Wang Yaowen tentatively said, Minister Zhou, this question depends on how it is said.Generally speaking, if leaving the prescribed route is subjective and intentional, it must be a violation of the regulations, and if something goes wrong, it must be an accident. As far as you know, is there any subjective intention in this? Hard to say. Zhou Nanzheng quickly glanced at Wang Yaowen. Wang Yaowen hurriedly said, I mean, sometimes it is difficult to determine whether there is subjective intention. If the person concerned insists that he got lost in the snow and went there, he cannot be said to have subjective intention. The injured soldier was called Lu Sheng, what did he say? Wang Yaowen sprinted and said that when Lu Sheng just woke up, his mind was quite confused, and he often confused imagination and reality with his words, and his words were not far-fetched.Later, I went to verify it myself several times before I figured out the basic facts. The general situation is what I said when I reported to the working group. Of course, there are some details that I didn’t elaborate on at the meeting... Pausing on purpose, looking at Zhou Nanzheng. Zhou Nanzheng didn't speak, but looked deeply into the distance, as if he was thinking about something. Wang Yaowen had no choice but to ask cautiously, Minister Zhou, look, if necessary, should I tell you the situation in detail... No need.Zhou Nanzheng cut off Wang Yaowen's words, and said in a calm tone, "I already know the general situation. As long as the basic facts are not different, I don't need to listen to the specific details." Wang Yaowen just fell to the ground with a stone. It seems that Zhou Nanzheng didn't call him here to investigate the truth. Zhou Nanzheng also said, now it seems that Lu Sheng and you are the ones who know the scene best. You have to prepare well and work with Lu Sheng to understand the process at that time, including every detail, and form materials. , and asked Lu Sheng to sign after confirming it. yes. Establishing a model is a major event. Whether the model can be established and how far it can be established requires many conditions, but there is only one prerequisite, that is, the main deeds must stand scrutiny.Even if I don't ask you this question today, it will be asked countless times by various people on various occasions in the future, because this question is the crux of the whole thing.So you have to work out all the details.If your explanation is not convincing, not only will this model fail to stand, but it will also cause a lot of trouble in the future.do you understand me? I know. Then you should investigate the whole scene again. The more you know about the scene, the clearer it will be for you to check with Lu Sheng. Zhou Nanzheng stopped talking and walked slowly towards the parking lot. While Wang Yaowen surveyed the scene, he admired Zhou Nanzheng in his heart.Zhou Nanzheng must have heard some different opinions. He wanted to feel the truth through talking with Wang Yaowen, but he didn't want to really understand the truth. This is his cleverness.In his capacity, knowing the details would make him in a dilemma, but he would be much more comfortable if he didn't know the details.To put it bluntly, even if there are problems in the future, Wang Yaowen will take care of it alone. It has nothing to do with him, because he is also kept in the dark.Who can know that he is pretending to be stupid with his cleverness?And you listened to what he said just now, told you everything that should be said, and pointed out everything that should be pointed out to you. You can understand the meaning inside and outside the words, but you find out from what he said. Without any flaws, every sentence can be brought to the table, and there is nothing wrong with it! Wang Yaowen sighed from the bottom of his heart, Wang Yaowen, have you seen this, this is the level, this is the ability, this is the official! Zhou Dongjin was very proud of himself, Chen Qi was finally put on this path by him, and took over the design task.For whatever reason, he's already started, and that's fine.For a person with a strong personality like Chen Qi, although it is difficult to get on the road, once he gets on the road, he will not give up easily.It will be even more serious if you are interested in doing it. Even if you don't let him do it, he will try to do it.In this regard, Zhou Dongjin has great confidence in Chen Qi. In the past few days, Zhou Dongjin was with Chen Qiyu almost day and night.They must complement each other.Zhou Dongjin had an idea, knew what requirements the design should meet and what purpose to achieve, but he didn't know what new technologies needed to be used to achieve the purpose, and he didn't know how to use new technical means.Chen Qi was on the contrary. He was not familiar with border defense and could not come up with any ideas, but he was familiar with new technologies and knew which technical means could be used to realize Zhou Dongjin's ideas.The two of them discussed and worked together, one provided ideas and the other provided technical support, which made the design go very smoothly. Every night, Zhou Dongjin sent civil servants out of his own pocket to buy some food and drink.There are no good things, nothing more than instant noodles, ham sausage, beer, Coke, etc., and occasionally two pig's trotters or a roast chicken to eat.Zhou Dongjin called it fodder, and said that Chen Qi, this donkey, was brought down from the Alps with great difficulty, and he was expected to do a job. If he didn't provide some fodder for you, he would kick it for you.Chen Qi wasn't as tense with Zhou Dongjin as he was at the beginning. Although the two still bickered frequently, it was obvious that there was more "funny" and less "fight".Chen Qi said, Comrade Napoleon, you can't force your life like this, you bring fodder to coax the donkey to work every night, you must know that the donkey not only needs to eat, but also needs to rest.What's more, Comrade Napoleon always competed with the donkey for forage.Zhou Dongjin said, Comrade Donkey, don’t be too dissatisfied. Comrade Napoleon saved all the forage from his own mouth. Comrade Napoleon can’t just watch Comrade Donkey enjoy himself, right?Chen Qi said, but Comrade Napoleon can't eat more than a donkey every time?Zhou Dongjin had no choice but to tear the two chicken legs to Chen Qi, saying that if Comrade Donkey had any requests, just ask.Chen Qi looked at Zhou Dongjin and said, Comrade Donkey has one last request.Zhou Dongjin became nervous, protecting the remaining chicken with both hands and said, Comrade Donkey, you must leave something for Comrade Napoleon, right?Seeing that Chen Qi just stared at him and didn't speak, he became cruel and said, "Okay, do you want wings or claws?"I can only ask for the same. The phone rang, and the switchboard said that Chief Zhou had your international call from Los Angeles, could I pick it up for you now?Zhou Dongjin hesitated for a moment before answering, take it. A soft female voice came out of the microphone immediately, Dongjin? yes. I... did you get the letter I sent you? received. Do you... have a different opinion? No. Then you... agree? I agree. ... ... Well then, I may have to go back to China after a while... There is no need to make a special trip for this matter, right?Just write it and send it to me. The company has a business to discuss in China, and the president asked me to go with him.I think, let's take this opportunity to get things done, right? also good. do you need somethingI can buy it from here and bring it to you. Nothing is needed. Then... let's do this first. So be it. goodbye. goodbye. Putting down the phone, Zhou Dongjin took out a cigarette and was about to light it when he suddenly remembered that Chen Qi never smoked and never let others smoke in his room. He was hesitating whether to go out, but Chen Qi took the initiative to light the fire for him. The two were speechless. After silently smoking a cigarette, Zhou Dongjin said, my wife. Chen Qi said I know. Zhou Dongjin asked how do you know? Chen Qi said I guessed it. You can guess. What else did you guess? i guess your lover... my wife. It's the same thing, I'm not used to talking about my wife. Nonsense, can a wife and a lover be the same thing?The wife is the person who signed the mutual assistance contract with you formally, and the lover is the person who signed the mutual assistance contract with you spiritually, they are not the same thing at all! OK, then wife.I guess your wife is going to terminate the mutual aid contract with you. almost. Why? Probably because she doesn't love me. After going abroad... No, she never loved me. Do you love her? At first I thought it was, but then I realized it wasn't the case. Then why are you getting married? Because everyone at the time wanted us to get married quickly. you…… Forget it, stop here, don't talk about me.Or let me guess you. guess what?Chen Qi suddenly became nervous. I guess you have a girlfriend. yes. I guess you guys have already started talking about marriage. almost. I guess your girlfriend doesn't want you to come to the border guard, and proposes that she can marry you only if she is transferred back. Yes.Commander, your guess is better than mine. I'm from here.In other words, I have crossed more bridges than you have traveled.Chen Qi, if you can trust me, just listen to my advice. What? Be calm and don't sign that mutual aid contract lightly. ... ... head. Ok? Have another cigarette. At that time, it was the time when Zhou Dongjin was at his lowest. After returning from the front line, the relationship between Zhou Dongjin and Huang Nina, who had been struggling for many years, came to an abrupt end.The speed and resoluteness of the act surprised the parents of both parties who had been trying their best to prevent the two from interacting but failed. It is said that Zhou Dongjin asked Huang Nina to go to the red house to eat western food in the evening when he came back.The two were fine when they went, but they went their separate ways when they came back. It is said that the next day Zhou Dongjin packed all the letters and photos that Huang Nina had written to him in a large bag, and threw them in front of Huang Nina in public. The one who is most satisfied with this ending is Zhou Han.Zhou Han always disagreed with Dong Jin and Huang Nina for one reason. Huang Nina is Huang Xingzhong's daughter.Zhou Han said, there are plenty of girls in the world, you can find a cripple or a blind man, I will admit it, but you are not allowed to find Huang Xingzhong's girl! Another person who was satisfied with the ending was Huang Xingzhong.Huang Zhenzhong's reasons were obviously much more profound than Zhou Han's. Huang Zhenzhong said, Nina, my father has been engaged in political work all his life, and what he did was to play tricks on cadres.I dare not say anything else, my father still has a set of experience in selecting and using cadres.Zhou Dongjin couldn't do it, he was too unstable and too sharp.A person with a strong personality like him can't make a good relationship anywhere, and he can't do anything no matter how capable he is. It was at this time that Wei Mingkun took advantage of the situation.So far, Zhou Dongjin still doesn't know how Wei Mingkun walked into Huang's house and walked in front of Huang Nina.I just remember that after hearing that Wei Mingkun and Huang Nina confirmed their relationship, Zhou Dongjin seemed to be stuffed into his mouth like a red-hot coal ball. He couldn't spit it out, he could only swallow it.When swallowing with pain, Zhou Dongjin felt as if his internal organs were scorched and hollowed out all at once.That night, Zhou Dongjin developed a high fever inexplicably, his mouth was full of blisters, and his eyes were bloodshot.The high fever lasted for three days.During these three days, the hygienists tried their best on Zhou Dongjin's body, but no matter whether it was injections or medicine, the high fever never abated.It wasn't until three days later that the high fever subsided quietly as it had appeared suddenly.Zhou Dongjin knew that after this toss, the red-hot coal ball seemed to be embedded in his body, leaving him with a pain that would never heal. Su Ya appeared after this. Before he was transferred from the field army to report to the border guards, Zhou Dongjin spent a period of time at home.During those days, Zhou Dongjin was in a bad mood.When his mother first asked him to meet Su Ya, he refused.He said he didn't want to think about personal issues right now.But the mother, uncharacteristically, insisted impatiently that they should meet.On the day of the arranged meeting, he was going to walk away, leaving his mother and Su Ya there.But just when he turned to leave with a cold face, he saw Su Ya's melancholy eyes.He found that there was a heart-pounding sorrow in Su Ya's eyes. He didn't know whether she was worried about being hurt or had already been hurt, but those eyes looked at him misty and watery anyway.At that moment, Dong Jin's heart softened, he didn't want to hurt an innocent girl because of his bad mood.He thought, let's sit down and say a few perfunctory words, anyway, the result is the same, so why embarrass people so much.Who knew that with such a soft heart, they would come together. In fact, Su Ya is a pretty good girl, delicate and beautiful, light and slender.The family of intellectuals gave her a good upbringing since she was a child. She can not only play the piano and dance ballet, but also speak fluent English.Su Ya's character is also very docile, she never pushes Zhou Dongjin, she is like a silent shadow, ready to follow Zhou Dong anywhere to do anything at any time.But Su Ya is a cold person.She seldom speaks, hardly smiles, and always seems to be permeated with a lingering melancholy.That's fine, Zhou Dongjin was just getting annoyed at that meeting, if it was a lively one, Zhou Dongjin might not be able to bear it anymore, and would have run away early. When they met for just over a month, their mother hurriedly urged them to get married. Zhou Dongjin was joking, I haven't even figured out where her nose and eyes are. My mother said, Dongjin, you have to report to the border defense in a few days, and you don't know when you will be back after this trip.The girl can't wait, before you leave, you have to arrange the marriage for me no matter what. Zhou Dongjin said, Mom, let's talk about this later.Didn't my eldest brother just get married? Why should I be in a hurry? Mother said Dongjin, don't you get along well with Su Ya? Zhou Dongjin sneered, what's good?What is bad?I don't care about that at all right now.I can marry now if you want.But you don't even think about it, do people want it?Who is willing to marry your son in such a hurry? The mother immediately stared at him and asked eagerly, Dong Jin, what if Su Ya is willing? Zhou Dongjin flatly asserted that it was impossible.It's not like your son is going to the capital for high school. In ancient times, this was called the border gate. Who is she? The mother looked at him with a strange look and said, Dongjin, I'll go find Suya right away.But you have to promise me that as long as Su Ya agrees, you will get married immediately. Su Ya actually agreed. So far, Zhou Dongjin is still puzzled by what he did to Su Ya.If she married him willingly, why would she always treat him coldly?Since she had already decided to marry him, why did she leave him and go to America soon after marriage?Su Ya didn't have the slightest enthusiasm for him. Zhou Dongjin had already felt this, but he didn't care at that time, because he didn't have any enthusiasm for Su Ya anyway. Before getting married, eldest brother Nan Zheng came back in a hurry.Nan Zheng seemed very worried about Dong Jin's marriage. He smoked for a long time with his head depressed before asking, Dong Jin, to be honest, is it really what you want? Dong Jin said, let it be. Nan Zheng looked into his eyes in disbelief, and said Dong Jin, if... If you think it's inappropriate, now is still too late. Dong Jin waved his hand indifferently and said, I don't care.Really, I don't care about these things at all now. Nan Zheng stared blankly at Dong Jin for a while with extremely complicated eyes, then suddenly made up his mind to snuff out the cigarette butt and said, well, then I won't say more.I have to rush back to the army today, so I won't be able to attend your wedding. When he walked to the door, Nan Zheng turned his back to Dong Jin and said, Dong Jin, I know you are in a bad mood now, and the choice at this time may not be very... suitable.I mean... since you choose, you have to be prepared to take on a lot.After all, he turned his head and took a deep look at Dong Jin. This glance left a deep impression on Dong Jin.In the eyes of his elder brother, Dong Jin saw the uneasy worry, the hesitating sadness and the guilt of being helpless.It seemed that he, the elder brother, was sorry for Dongjin and failed to fulfill his responsibility in Dongjin's affairs.At that moment, Dong Jin was deeply moved by the brotherhood between brothers. On the night of the wedding, Zhou Dongjin fully experienced Su Ya's coldness.Cold hands, cold lips, cold body, cold expression, cold reaction.In fact, Su Ya has always been very cooperative, lying down when it's time to lie down, undressing when it's time to undress, and hugging him tightly when it's time to hug him.But it is cold.Zhou Dongjin felt like a bad wrestler, tossing around in the middle of the field alone, only to find out after he was exhausted from tossing that this was a match with no opponents and no spectators.Zhou Dongjin suddenly felt that his interest was dull, and he no longer had the enthusiasm to continue to toss. It was a peaceful night.Within a few days, Zhou Dongjin left home and reported to the frontier defense ahead of time. Zhou Dongjin, who is married, still lives the life of a bachelor in the past, and Su Ya has never been to the border defense.Zhou Dongjin didn't ask for it, and Su Ya didn't ask for it either.Their married life was limited to a few days when Zhou Dongjin came home.When returning home for the first time, Zhou Dongjin was still a little excited on the way.But as soon as he got home and saw Su Ya, his passion subsided inexplicably.In the evening, according to Wang Yaowen's private teaching, he tried his best to bring Su Ya into that infinitely beautiful peak state.But after rushing left and right, he found himself in exactly the same predicament as the night of his wedding.无法酣畅淋漓地宣泄激情，使周东进心里陡然升起了一股无名火。他狂躁地一把把苏娅从床上提起来，狐疑地盯着那双冰冷的瞳仁。苏娅那双深潭似的瞳仁总给周东进一种奇怪的感觉，她不看着你的时候，你反倒会觉得她离你很近，但当她看你的时候，你就会突然发觉她其实离你很远很远。周东进久久地盯着苏娅，他发现自己一点也不认识这个女人，一点也不了解这个女人。Who is she?她怎么会成了自己的妻子？自己怎么会娶了她？ 苏娅在周东进的手下微微颤抖着，但她既不挣扎也不反抗，苍白的脸上呈现出殉难般的平静。如果她拼力反抗、挣扎的话，周东进还有机会使出力气，使自己烦躁的情绪得以平息，让自己在征服中得到一些快感。但她连这样的机会也不给周东进。就在周东进憋足了劲准备咆哮的时候，她突然低声说了句“对不起”。她的声音很轻，但很清晰，带着一种真诚的愧疚和无奈的伤感。这声“对不起”像针一样突然戳破了周东进鼓胀起来的情绪，斗志立刻撒了气般地涣散殆尽了。周东进长叹一声，猛地松开了手。 从此，周东进就常常借口部队离不开，很少回来了。 很快，苏娅在美国的亲戚就为她办好了出国手续。苏娅在办理出国手续之前没征求周东进的意见，办理过程中也没对他讲过，一直到签证下来，机票都预订好了她才告诉周东进。周东进就像送一个不相干的朋友似的，把苏娅送上了飞机。看着苏娅的背影在眼前消失的那一刻，周东进竟有了一种如释重负的轻松感。 周东进这些事在二团只有王耀文一个人知道。王耀文曾经一脸深刻地点评道：“老周呀，你这是在错误的时间，错误的地点，打了一场错误的战争啊！” 离开二团的前一天，南征本想找东进好好谈一次，找机会教训他几句。但那条突然出现的蛇把周南征的念头一下子打消了。 那天的天气很好，太阳开始有了点暖洋洋的意思，空气中也若有若无地带了些丝丝缕缕的春天味道。吃完中饭，王耀文陪着周南征在院里溜达着散步，当他们溜达到办公楼前那条主路上时，突然就碰到了那条蛇。 这是一条只有手指粗的小蛇，颜色很奇怪，绛红色，周南征从未见过红色的蛇。更奇怪的是那条小红蛇大摇大摆地在路中间行进，毫不在意周围是否有人。当周南征走到近前时，它竟突然间横过来，挡住了周南征的去路。周南征冷不防被吓了一跳，当看清面前是条蛇时，立刻迅速跳开，随手操起了路边一块石头，正想狠命砸下去时，却被王耀文拦住了。 do not move!王耀文一反慢声细语的常态，大叫着冲上来，一把夺下周南征手里的石头，气喘吁吁地说：“别，别，它不咬人。” 扔掉石头后，王耀文才不好意思地笑着说：“周部长，吓着您了吧？我是怕您一时失手伤着它，一着急就……”看到周南征不解的样子，又赶紧解释道：“这条小红蛇从来不伤人，就是喜欢在这条路上走来走去，团里的干部、战士都认识它，都由着它。” 周南征稳住神儿，看到小红蛇只在他脚前停了一下，就又蜿蜒着向前爬去。为了掩饰自己的失态，也为了不使王耀文尴尬，周南征笑着说了句：“看来，它还是二团的在编人员呢。” 王耀文嘿嘿笑道：“它是被东进救活的。” “噢？”周南征感兴趣了。 王耀文说：“那时这蛇还小，被突然来的一场寒流冻僵了，就躺在这条路上。当时谁都说这条蛇已经冻死了，东进偏不信，非把它揣在怀里焐着。我就说，东进你这是想重演农夫与蛇的故事吧，只可惜你怀里揣的是条死蛇。东进说别说话别说话，它好像动弹了。我说别扯了，它要是动弹了，你可就完蛋了。东进小心翼翼地掀开衣服，果然从里面探出了一个小红脑袋。我忙喊东进赶紧把它扔出来，东进不听，又焐了好一会儿才把它放出来。后来这蛇就成宝了，不怕人，总喜欢在这条路上走。从此以后大家见它在路上就都让着它，队列走到旁边都绕着它过去。这蛇也怪了，认人。别人谁叫它也不理，就认东进一个。东进只要一招手，它就出溜出溜地赶紧爬过来。大家就都开玩笑地说这条小红蛇是团长的宠物。东进也真喜欢它。” 周南征笑道：“我还真没看出来，东进这种人也能喜欢动物。” “喜欢。”王耀文说，“东进还喜欢花皮鼠，特别喜欢看老花皮鼠教小花皮鼠爬树。天暖和以后，老花皮鼠就带着小花皮鼠出来学爬树。一开始，小花皮鼠总是说什么也不肯爬，老花皮鼠急了就在后面往上推，推不动再爬到上面用嘴叼住小花皮鼠，倒退着往上拽，直到逼着小花皮鼠学会了为止。东进就蹲在边上看，说是看花皮鼠搞课目训练。” 周南征听着有趣，不由笑了。虽笑着，心里却有些不是个滋味。从王耀文津津乐道的讲述中，周南征不仅听出了东进在这里生活的乐趣，也听出了东进生活中的单调和枯燥。一晃，东进在边防已经干了十多年了。这个远离都市的偏僻山沟把从前那个喜欢新鲜追逐时髦的东进变成了一个地地道道的准乡下人。记得有一次趁东进回家的机会，南征请新调来的军区政治部吕副主任吃饭。吕副主任与刘希文很熟，调来前刘希文就特地把南征介绍给了吕副主任。吕副主任来后，南征又格外注意与他相处，时不时打着刘希文让他来看看的旗号去拜访。见吕副主任的家一时不能搬来，就经常请他到外面去吃饭，顺便给他安排点活动，一来二去，南征与吕副主任之间的关系就比别人近了一层。南征想让东进也给吕副主任留下点印象。南征对东进说，不是常说领导要知人善任吗？知人善任的前提是知人，人家都不知道你，凭什么任用你？你得先在人家的脑袋里留下印象，到提拔使用的时候才会想到你。结果，那一次东进真是给吕副主任留下了极其深刻的印象。首先是那顶无论什么时候都顶在头上的大皮帽子，东进本来个子就高，大皮帽子往脑袋上一扣，熊瞎子似的扎眼。吕副主任忍不住开玩笑说东进你这顶帽子是租来的吧，是不是怕不抓紧戴吃亏呀。吃完饭去打保龄球，东进说自己从来没打过这玩意儿，南征就让他先坐在旁边看一会儿，小姐给东进上了一杯果汁，东进可倒好，伸手就把插在杯子沿上做装饰用的一片橙子塞进嘴里吃了。弄得小姐捂着嘴跑到一边直乐，东进还莫名其妙地不知道小姐乐什么。但学起保龄球来，东进上道却快得很。东进打保龄球出手十分有力，他根本就不看球道前面那些三角标记，球一出手就直接砸向后半截球道。他打出的球滚动力量极大，沾点边就能震倒一片。比量了几下，东进的成绩就开始直线上升，很快就追上吕副主任了。吕副主任说他打了这么长时间保龄球了，还没见过这种打法呢，问东进这是什么打法？东进就得意起来了，随口胡编说我这是掷手榴弹打法。接着就开始吹牛，说打保龄球跟投手榴弹的原理是一样的，只不过一个是往上使劲儿，一个是往下使劲儿……逗得吕副主任哈哈大笑，连声对南征说，你们哥俩儿性格一点儿也不像，你这个弟弟有意思！你这个弟弟还真有点儿意思！ 在五个兄弟姐妹中，南征最惦记的就是东进。不只因为他俩从小在一起玩得最多，也不只因为他俩的兴趣爱好最相同、最能谈得来，其中还有一个更重要的原因，就是南征心里知道自己欠东进的。虽然东进并不知道，虽然南征永远也不可能对东进说。但南征知道自己欠东进有多么多，南征知道自己这一辈子也许都无法还清。 南征是真心想帮东进，没看到东进的真实生活状况时，南征虽也想帮但还不很迫切，直到看到这个闭塞的南山沟，直到看到东进那个没有丝毫生活气味的办公室兼宿舍，直到听到王耀文对东进生活状况的描述，南征心中就开始隐隐作痛了。他想象不出这种远离现代文明、远离城市消费、远离家庭温暖、远离女人的日子，东进是怎么过来的。放弃了正常的生活欲望独自在这里苦干了十几年的东进，是真的想证实自己，是真的想为部队做事，是真的在坚守自己的理想。如果东进这样的人不能提拔起来的话，如果东进因为不能提拔而最终必须离开部队的话，真是太不公平了。 “东进什么时候能回来？”周南征问。东进去四营了，说是要今天赶回来，晚上一起吃顿饭，为工作组送行。 “周团长好像是回来了。”王耀文指着办公楼前的一辆越野车说，“周部长你看，那是东进的车。” 看来东进刚刚回来。周南征说了句：“耀文你先回去休息吧。”自己则信步向办公楼走去。 东进正在水房洗脸，像小时候一样噼里啪啦地弄出很大的响动，扑腾得水花四溅。南征记起毛毛常说东进像个大河马，不由微微地笑了。 东进抬起头，一把甩掉脸上的水，很响亮地叫了声“大哥”。 “回来了？”南征问。 “回来了。”东进边使劲儿用毛巾搓脸边说，“你先到我办公室吧，我马上就完了。” 东进的办公室在走廊尽头，房间本来不算小，但中间用文件柜隔了一下，就显得小了些。文件柜后面隔出的那块地方安了张床，就算是东进的宿舍了。据王耀文说本来给东进安排了一套挺不错的宿舍，东进说我还是在办公室住吧，反正我就一个人，住在办公室有什么事找我还方便，也省得我整天跑来跑去的了。就住进办公室了。东进的办公室很简洁，没有一件多余的摆设，惟一的装饰就是写字台上摆放着的一个跪姿的兵马俑。 看到那个跪俑，南征心中不由一动，走上前仔细打量起来。南征在很多年前曾经给东进从西安带回来过一个跪俑，难道就是这个么？记得当时南征去西安前，东进缠住南征非让他给自己带回来个仿制兵马俑不可。南征不干，说东进你真好意思，让我给你背那么沉个家伙回来？ !东进说大哥就算我求你还不行吗？你要是给我背回来一个兵马俑，回来后让我怎么背你都行！南征笑了，说我用你背？那玩意儿有什么好的，又丑又笨？东进说我喜欢，我喜欢就是好。南征说到时候再说吧，如果东西太多……东进说那不行，你现在就得把话说死了。南征说好好好我给你带回来一个还不行吗？不过我可带不了太大的啊。东进立刻一蹦老高连连说，行行行，你只要答应给我带个就行。想了想又问，大哥，你说我是要个立姿的呢还是要个跪姿的？南征没好气地说，东进你哪来那么多事，什么立姿跪姿的，给你带回来一个兵马俑不就得了？参观完兵马俑之后，南征果真在地摊上给东进买了一个兵马俑。南征当时没多想就买了个跪俑，他觉得跪俑短比站俑好带。没想到，结果还是出了麻烦，南征回来后才发现行李不知在哪磕碰着了，兵马俑的头被碰断了。把东进心疼得要死，宝贝似的用双手捧走了，说是一定要想办法把“他”救活。 “这个跪俑还是你给我的呢。”东进一进来就说。 兵马俑的脖子上果然有一道细细的裂缝，看来真是这个，不知道东进是用什么方法把他粘起来的。南征还记得东进那个奇怪的说法，要把“他”救活。 “多少年了，我以为你早把这玩意儿扔了呢。”南征说。 “哪能啊，我这些年是走到哪儿就把他带到哪儿。”东进说，“大哥你真有眼光，还是跪俑好，跪俑越看越有味。你看，你从这个角度看看，你看他的姿势，跪而不卑，威武中带有一些隐忍，刚毅里藏着几分柔韧，表情果敢却不凶悍，目光机敏但不狡诈。” 南征看着那个跪俑，但跪俑却并不看他，跪俑的目光很低，沉静而深邃地伸向前方。看着看着，人就不由自主地进入了一种情绪之中，心中涌动起一些说不清的感动。 东进拉着南征后退了几步，虚起目光望着跪俑，若有所思地说：“这就是中国军人，永远是跪着的。” 南征心中一震。 东进仍旧沉浸在自己的思索中，接着说：“这就是中国军人，即便跪着，也永远准备着蓄势待发。” 下午无事。东进突发奇想非要带南征爬南山，说是要让南征欣赏雪景，好好放松一下。 南山虽然不高，但踏着尺把深的雪爬山实在不是一件轻松的事，南征已经很久没有这么剧烈活动过了。爬了没一半，南征就拉起了风箱。 东进一边时不时地伸手帮南征一把，一边打趣地说南征是离了地的萝卜——糠了。 南征说也是，过去一场足球踢下来咋也不咋地，现在可倒好，打几拍子乒乓球就累得上气不接下气的，真是糠了。 东进说大哥你那是在机关里养尊处优养出的毛病，你看我就没你那些毛病。 南征笑着说谁能跟你比，跟个活驴似的，老大不小了还没个正形，难怪爸爸总骂你是生驴蛋子。 没办法，老头子死活就是看不上我，你哪儿都好，我哪儿都不好，从小就这样。 其实爸爸心里还是很喜欢你的。 这我知道，我是爸爸的“掌上明珠”嘛，从小我这脸蛋儿就没离开过他的巴掌，我还能不知道。 我说的是真话东进。南征说，你上前线时，爸爸嘴上不说什么，但整天盯着前方的战事。你们最后打那场仗时，这边只听说你带着连队上去了，还说连队伤亡很严重，但不知道你的情况。妈妈忍不住偷着哭了好几场，刘秘书说要给前指打电话问一下你的情况，妈妈说什么也不让，说我也是从战场上过来的，打仗的规矩我懂。当年首长上前线常常多少天都没个音讯，我们这些当家属的哪个都不敢随便问一句。你不用管我我没事，再说首长也不会同意的。刘希文不知深浅又去跟爸爸说，一张嘴爸爸就火了，说你敢？ !亏你小子想得出，还要往前指打电话？都他妈的打电话，前指就不用干别的了！然后斜眼看着妈妈说，你们都给我听好了，谁敢干扰作战，我他妈的毙了谁！刘希文这才知道厉害了，他私下里叹着气对我说，我也是看首长好几天都不怎么睡觉，整晚地翻弄那些前线情况看个没完，心里实在着急才提出来的。 这事我知道，刘秘书后来也跟我说了。我很感谢爸爸、妈妈在那种情况下没往前线打电话，如果他们真打电话关照我，我会很不舒服的。 后来，听说你在那次战斗中指挥上有点问题，下来后又为立功的事和各方面搞得很僵，爸爸简直是坐立不安。搞清事实后，我以为老头子肯定又会发火、骂人，没想到他沉默了很长时间，只说了一句话，这小子还行，鸡巴挺硬。 我也没想到我没从前线戴回军功章来老头子居然没骂我，我是做了挨打的准备的，当时我心里真是又感动又愧疚。大哥，你总批评我太爱自己的军队干部子弟出身了，我承认我是爱，我常为自己能生在军人家庭里感到庆幸，常为自己有一对做军人的父母感到自豪，常为自己此生有幸做军人感到骄傲。我不觉得爱自己的出身有什么错。大哥，我知道其实你也爱，只不过你不敢像我这样公开说出来，你怕这样说会脱离群众，怕这样说人家会给你扣上一顶骄傲的帽子。其实，我们都爱自己的出身。记得当年有个写那场自卫反击战的影响挺大的小说，里面说有个干部子弟在部队上前线之前，家里想动用权力调走他。我们这帮干部子弟一看就火了，真他妈的敢扯淡，上战场之前谁敢调人！我们的父母都是打过仗的，都知道打起仗来一切都得服从前线的道理，他们怎么可能做这种蠢事？ ! 当时干部子弟对这事的反应的确很强烈。南征说，也难怪，那时社会上干部子女搞特权的情况挺多的，老百姓反感，人家就合理想象，以为这些人面对战争时也会搞特权。其实他们不懂，这些人也许可以做任何不光彩的事，但惟独不会做这件事，连那些老太太们都不会做！她们早已习惯把打仗放在第一位，太懂得军人上战场是天经地义的，太知道战争是怎么一回事了。她们大多数都会像妈妈那样宁肯自己偷偷哭，却连电话也不敢往前线打，更不要说在那个时候把孩子往回调了。 再说了，就算是家里想往回调，我们自己也不可能同意呀！我们是盼打仗的呀！从当兵那天起我们就盼着能打上仗，盼得眼睛都发蓝了，好不容易才盼到了一个打仗的机会，我们高兴还来不及呢，还能临阵脱逃？ 当一辈子兵没机会到战场上真枪实弹地比试一回，确实是个遗憾哪。南征突然发自内心地感慨道。 我倒是真枪实弹地比试过了，不过还是留下了遗憾。 还想打仗吗？ 想，做梦都想！大哥你呢？ 我也想。有时候真觉得这兵当得窝囊，不能跟敌人在战场上明刀明枪地较量，净在家里跟自己人你来我去地明争暗斗。 大哥，你变化挺大的。你从前可不是这样。 我从前什么样？ 你从前不论是学习还是打球、游泳，样样都比别人做得好，还特有激情，打架不要命，不管走到哪都是个核心人物，手一挥屁股后面就跟上来一大群。 那不是小时候嘛。 你从前也比现在有气魄。记得有一次你很严肃地对我说，东进，你不能只把眼睛盯在枪上、盯在手榴弹上，你得学着研究战术，研究战争。你说早晚有一天党会把军队交到我们这代人手上，从现在起我们就应该为那一天做准备。你不知道当时听到这些话时我有多么震惊。我想，这才叫有理想有抱负呢！跟大哥相比，我周东进整个儿庸人一个，我连我大哥的一个小拇脚趾头都不如啊！ 还提那些干什么，那时年轻，思想还很幼稚，不成熟。 怪了，人咋都是越成熟就越不像人了呢？ Go east! 我不是那个意思大哥，我的意思是说，人一成熟了就学会按照别人的意愿生活了，到最后把原来的自己都给忘掉了。 人总是要成熟的，人不可能总按自己的意愿去生活。 我讨厌成熟。 但是你无法拒绝成熟。 山顶到了。 南山的山顶是平的，厚厚的积雪在眼前铺展开一片坦坦荡荡的开阔，处女般闪着圣洁的光，没有一个脚印，没有一丝污痕。目光一触到这片洁净的白色，你就会不由自主地蓦然止步，不忍再向前踏出一步。面对眼前这一览无余的坦荡，你的心胸仿佛一下就开朗起来，一种莫名其妙的兴奋在全身涌动着，使你突然很想大声叫喊。 what--!东进先扯开嗓子喊了一声。 what--!南征也不由自主地跟着喊了一嗓子。 两个人笑着互相看了看，又一起喊了起来。what--! 声音在雪地上蹦跳着跑向远处，又被山野弹回来，弹出一连串的回响：啊——！ what--! what--! 喊够了，东进又让南征跟他一起在雪地上躺字。他自己先伸开手臂躺在雪地上，起来后雪地上留下了一个“十”字。南征也学着他的样子，在雪地上躺了个“大”字。东进躺了个“人”字，南征又躺了个“才”字。最后东进又躺下折腾了半天，爬起来却什么字也看不出来，东进就笑着说他是想躺个“方”字，但这个字太难躺，他从来都躺不好。还说陈奇就躺得比他好。 说着说着，东进突然抓起一把雪，冷不防扔到南征脸上。南征一愣，说了句好小子你敢打我，随手就抓起雪打了过去。东进笑着跳着躲开了，南征不甘心又接着打，两个人就像小孩子似的，你来我去地喊叫着打起雪仗来。直打得两人都精疲力竭地躺倒在雪地上。 东进气喘吁吁地递给南征一根烟，南征接过来却没点，只专心地用手抚弄着身旁的雪。这里的雪真白，南征突然很想吃雪，就轻轻拨开表面一层，以为下面的雪会比上面的白。但他发现这里简直没有丝毫污染，你根本就分不出表层和下面，这雪是从里到外从上到下一致的白。南征把烟还给东进，说在这种地方抽烟简直就是罪过。说完就抓起一把雪塞进嘴里。南征以为这雪怎么干净也会带点尘土的味道，却不料只吃出了满嘴的清冽甘甜。南征干脆痛痛快快地放开吃了起来。东进很多年没见南征这么放得开了，看见他终于忘了自己是个官儿，看见他终于松开了那张常年绷得紧紧的官脸，看见他像个孩子似的打雪仗，孩子似的一把接一把地抓起雪往嘴里塞，吃得满鼻子满脸的样子，东进别提多开心了。 下山往回走时，南征突然想起魏明坤晚上也要来吃饭送行，就问东进和魏明坤现在关系怎么样。 东进嘴上说挺好，但脸上的晴朗却明显退了一层。 南征知道，就他们两人目前的情况看，只要东进不计较，魏明坤是不会主动与东进过不去的。如果东进稍微乖巧一点，魏明坤还会巴不得表现自己的大度，与东进言归于好。在他们两个之间，东进的态度是主要的。所以，有必要提醒东进注意与魏明坤的关系。
