Summer sun is dead. Died in the regiment health team.He was lifted out of the ambulance at six o'clock in the morning and sent to the emergency room.All members of the health team went out, and the medicines, equipment, and blood were all ready.The door of the ambulance room was strictly controlled, and the company commander and health workers who came with the car were kept outside. Ten minutes later, the health captain came out of the emergency room, looked at the military rank on Zhao Lin's shoulder, and said, are you his company cadre? Zhao Lin said I was the company commander.

What do you send it for when the person is already dead?The captain half-drank and half-explained, don't military cadres even understand this, a bullet hits the heart and a person dies immediately.Go back and prepare for the burial! The health worker stayed behind to guard the body, Zhao Lin turned back to the company, took the ambulance of the health team, and walked back.At that time, the east was already red and bright, and the sun was shining once, jumping out from the horizon.After autumn in the Eastern Henan Plain, most of the crops have been harvested, and the openness is endless.There are few cars and people on the road, and the sunlight is like flowing golden water.The mist in the distance is silvery white in the sunlight.The corn stalks spread in the field seem to melt in the light, dark yellow and dark red in color.The bare and cold fields exude the sweet smell of late autumn.The gradually clear air makes the plain slowly expand into boundlessness, as if everything is drifting to the distance, and it also calls people to the golden edge of the earth to touch the pink heating.In the scenery at this time, Zhao Lin suddenly felt relieved. If someone who should not come suddenly arrives, you have to face him and receive him when you arrive.The tension of the night slowly dissipated in this broad and bright scenery.People are dead and irretrievable, the rest is how to close the stall.Just like playing chess, it is easier to lose if you really lose than to be deadlocked.

Anyway, Xia Sunset was dead. There is no way to die. What will you Zhao Lin do next? I do not know what to do. Then you just let it go? How can you make me look like this? That depends on what reason Xia Xia committed suicide. I am responsible, but there is no immediate cause. After all, people are dead, so you have to be demoted and deal with your job change. As he was walking, Zhao Lin trembled, and he slowed down his steps.If he wants to be demoted again, he will be the deputy company, and if he is transferred to other jobs, everything will be over.He was already an assistant battalion.The deputy battalion commander has been serving as the deputy battalion commander for half a year and seven days, and the procedures for his family members to join the army are being completed. After completing the procedures, his family will no longer be farmers.At this time, he went home to pick up his wife, and saw his wife waiting for him at the village station with his daughter, his belly was bulging.When he got out of the car, he stared at his wife's belly. The wife smiled at him and said that I was pregnant again, and you were passing by the house last time when you were recruiting soldiers.He was very disappointed and walked home with his luggage, saying that he was pregnant and would not hurry up to get rid of it. His wife said that it was a boy.He stopped suddenly, who said it was a boy?county hospital.The doctor said?Taken by the machine.He started to walk home again, didn't eat dinner, and didn't touch his wife when he fell asleep, but in the middle of the night, he got cold and sat up from the bed.

"Hey, is it really a boy?" My wife didn't sleep either, "It's true." "Then hurry up and give birth. After giving birth, transfer his account out." "Where's the daughter?" "Stay at home and let her grandma take care of her secretly." "That's going to hurt my daughter." "Who made her a girl." The wife gave birth.The wife gave birth to a daughter again.When his wife went through the formalities of joining the army after giving birth, the cadre in charge of the family planning found out, and within three days, an order came to him. He didn't say anything, and when he went back to grab his wife, he slapped her across the face, and then kicked her from the bed to the bottom of the bed.The current head of the regiment was his company commander when he participated in the Southern Front War. The head talked to him and said, "You want boys so much?"He said that you city people don't know how important boys are to farmers.What else did the head ask?He didn't think about anything else, he said that I would pay off my merits and crimes, lead the three companies into the whole Youlian, and make me the deputy battalion commander if I have a chance, and I will transfer the account of my wife and child Yu.The head said you do it.He returned to the Sanlian, and worked for three years. The Sanlian really became a Quanyou Company. However, in the past three years, the cadres have been fully adjusted, and the entire regiment has a deputy battalion position.After chasing the stars and chasing the moon until this time, I heard that the cadres of the battalion and company were about to be adjusted, but Xia Luo committed suicide without knowing why.Everything is over for him.

Xia Li, you killed me, Zhao Lin! The sun has risen very high, and its rays shine on him one after another.There are more cars on the road, and the roar disturbs the tranquility of the morning.The people who went out to work came across from him in groups.He suddenly felt very lonely, as if he was alone guarding a trench that had been battered to pieces.He knew that he couldn't hold the trench for long, and it would soon fall into the hands of the enemy.He too will fall into the hands of the enemy.Loneliness made him helpless, he didn't want to fight any more, he wanted to get away with nothing and let the battlefield go.At that time, maybe the enemy had pity on him and might let him live.Yes, people are always sympathetic.He has.He slapped his wife twice and kicked her out of bed. When she cried, he went to cook a meal for her and brought the rice bowl to her.Yes, how can people have no compassion?Just when he was thinking this way, the instructor rode a bicycle, walked over among the crowd, stopped the bicycle suddenly in front of him and said, Lao Zhao, I am going to pick you up.

Zhao Lin stopped his pace and looked at the calmness on Gao Baoxin's face. "Summer sunset is dead." Gao Baoxin turned the car around. "Got it. The regiment leader, political commissar, battalion commander, and trainer are all in the company. We need you and me to report the situation." Zhao Lin said to go, I will take you.Gao Baoxin pushed the car and said let's go, take a shortcut, I came to pick you up just to walk with you.So they turned off the road into a lane.The trail runs along a small river.The river dried up, and the bottom of the river cracked.The path is narrow and straight, like a tight leather strip. The withered hay on the road has been moistened by dew overnight, making it soft and resilient.Occasionally, there were dewdrops that hadn't disappeared in time, and they kept hitting their feet, making their shoes wet and cool.The sun shone warm and comfortable on their faces.None of them spoke, they walked side by side, and Zhao Lin walked to the river bank when the road narrowed, kicking off the broken soil from time to time.A sparrow flew overhead and landed on a willow tree by the dry river, singing with a very emerald tone.

Zhao Lin said: "It's really unlucky for his grandma!" Gao Baoxin turned his head. "I just found out that the battalion and company cadres will be adjusted this month." Zhao Lin slowed down. "Summer sunset killed us." Gao Baoxin also slowed down his pace. "At first, the Communist Party Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to move you and me this time." Zhao Lin stood there. "What now?" Gao Baoxin stood still and said that now...he said a few words, then pushed the cart forward again.Zhao Lin followed behind him.Said that the summer sunset killed us.Gao Baoxin said it was useless to say that the person was dead.Now the matter is clear, no matter what the reason for his death is, the person is dead, and I think what is left for the third company, either you and I will each record it once, or each will be demoted to deal with the change of job, and give up the position of the main company; or It's you and me who will take more responsibility, and one person will be responsible for the demerit demotion, and then let the organization handle the transfer, so that one person can be saved.When Gao Baoxin said this, he kept walking, his face straightened, and the sun illuminated his face brightly, giving it a red radiance.

There was no one around, just the two of them.The sunlight on the field is no longer as clear as it was before, and it looks a little viscous, like a ball of yellow water.There were dogs running around in the field, biting each other and barking far away.The barracks can already see that the red houses are like pieces of dirty red cloth in the distance.Zhao Lin didn't know what Gao Baoxin said next.Of course, it is difficult to be a buddy, and the responsibility is naturally smaller when it is divided between two people. If one person takes the responsibility, then what kind of buddy or friend is grandma!Needless to say, the case of human life came out, and the company commander and instructor were on the shoulders of Xing Ming.However, the instructor's words made Zhao Lin think about it and think it made sense.For example, Gao Baoxin took over the responsibility. All I need to say is that the matter of Xia Sunset is all my fault. I did not do my ideological work meticulously. Thinking about it, I didn't talk to him in time, so he stole the gun and committed suicide.With just a few words, my company commander can be relieved. Maybe in this way, the regiment party committee can really continue to consider promoting me to the deputy battalion position.Taking a step back, even if I am not promoted, I have already served in the military for 14 years, and I am not allowed to change jobs. If I stay until the end of next year, I will be eligible for 15 years of military service as a cadre. I, Zhao Lin, can also bring my wives and daughters out of the countryside and make them urban residents.When this thought came to his mind, Zhao Lin was startled, and looked eagerly at Gao Baoxin who was walking in front.

"Instructor, do we have to change jobs if we are punished?" "We were punished and let us occupy the position? We changed jobs, and the deputy company and the main platoon of a battalion will survive." Obviously, I, Zhao Lin, have been punished by demotion. If I am punished this time, the team will never keep me again.Now that I'm gone, the deputy company commander can step up, and the deputy company commander can feel at ease in his work.The deputy company commander vacated his position, and he was relieved to be on top of the first platoon leader, so that the chessboard of the third company's cadres was fully alive.Then I'm gone and my life is over.The whole family is finished!You Zhao Lin can't stand this punishment.You are not like an instructor, your wife is from the city, and your father-in-law is the deputy county magistrate, so you don't need to think about the household registration of your wife and children.But you Zhao Lin can't do it.It would be nice if the instructor took over this responsibility, and things would take a turn for the better.You have to speak to the instructor.He will agree, even if you ask him to talk about it, it is related to the rest of the family's life.

Zhao Lin quickened his pace. "I said the instructor..." Gao Baoxin stopped suddenly, turned around, and looked at Zhao Lin, his eyes drifted, as if he didn't dare to look Zhao Lin face to face. "Old Zhao...I want to discuss something with you." Zhao Lin stared at Gao Baoxin's team "Go ahead." "Success or failure, don't be angry." "That's what you say." "Don't you want to get out the household registration of your wife and children?" "..." "I said it's not difficult." Zhao Lin blinked for a while, his eyes widened.

The instructor said: "At most, it will cost 3,500 yuan." Zhao Lin asked, "Where does the money come from?" The instructor said, "I'll give you five thousand." Zhao Lin moved his foot forward half a step: "Speak clearly." The instructor said, Lao Zhao, I will not hide from you, this time the regiment asked me to be an instructor in the third company, just to let me get acquainted with the company, and this batch was transferred to the position of instructor at one time.You've already had one demotion anyway.Take over the responsibility of Xia Sun's death, at worst he will remember you again, demote you, and let you change jobs.If you change jobs, I will give you 5,000 yuan, and you can still get your wife's account.There is nothing impossible to do with money. A smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Lin's face. "Five thousand yuan can do three agricultural conversions?" The instructor's face suddenly turned yellow. "My family only saved 8,500 yuan. Do you want to give it all to you?" Zhao Lin put away his smile. "I knew you wanted to be an instructor!" "You have no future anyway..." "What do you want me to say?" "I have told the battalion and regiment party committees" "Say what?" "I said that there are three causes of death in Xia Sunset. One is that he didn't move well in the queue last week, and you criticized him for being too strict; the other is that the company's management is not careful, the window latch of the gun depot is not firmly inserted, and the cadres in charge of management are not good enough. Check; the third is that I haven't kept up with my ideological work, and I haven't talked to Xia Luo many times." "Old Gao", Zhao Lin stared at the instructor's face, his eyes were dark and hard, his lips were purple, "I criticized Xia Sunset?" "Old Zhao," the instructor's eyes were extremely soft, "It's better to kill one of us than to kill us two. You've been punished anyway." Zhao Lin said, "You misread me." The instructor said: "Think carefully, how about giving you 10,000 yuan?" Zhao Lin said: "I love money. But I can't bear to see you live more freely than me. We all joined the army from the countryside. Why do you step on me at this time?" The instructor said: "Old Zhao, can I beg you?" Zhao Lin said: "Let's go, Lao Gao, we are all party members, we must seek truth from facts." After the words fell, Zhao Linzhen left, walking extremely fast, as if returning to the company from the playground last night.The sun cast his shadow behind him, strange and long, like a black cloth.The instructor couldn't catch up behind him, so he got on his bicycle, chased him, and said that Lao Zhao would come and sit on it.Zhao Lin didn't turn his head and said you should go.The instructor said that I came to pick you up specially, and the political commissar of the regiment leader is waiting.Zhao Lin got on the bicycle, and the sun kneaded their shadows together.The instructor rode the bike very skillfully, and he arrived in front of the camp in a while. He said, Lao Zhao, think again about what I said.Zhao Lin said that I was thinking, one thing you can rest assured, I will not frame you, we are all party members, we must seek truth from facts.
