Chapter 6 Chapter Four Life and Death Questions

In the New Year of 1992, the No. 1 Squadron was more lively and cheerful than in previous years.Because there is an extra child in the camp - Yu Manjiang's 6-year-old son Yu Lisa. Yu Manjiang's wife, Zhao Fang, and her son rushed all the way from their hometown in the countryside to the squadron to celebrate the New Year. Yu Manjiang tidied up his single dormitory and settled her mother and son temporarily. Yu Manjiang has a big waist and a thick waist, and Zhao Fang is a typical peasant woman with a round face and a strong body, but their "product" Yu Lisa is lean and thin, with a slender face and a complexion that seems to have rolled through ashes.Soldiers in the squadron liked the appearance and body shape which was very different from the white and fat children in the city. They liked to tease Yu Lisa for nothing, and even took him to play with hose and pull the horizontal bar.Sun Mingjie once said to Zhao Fang, half flattering and half sincere: "This kid is like our firefighter! Sister-in-law, let him grow up to take the squadron leader's class and also work as a firefighter!"

Who knew Zhao Fang didn't give Sun Mingjie a good look when the ass was slapped on the horse's leg, and she turned her head and shouted: "Son, stop playing, our mother and I are going out for a stroll, the electric train in the mall is very interesting." At this time, Yu Lisa was having fun with He Zisheng.He Zisheng swung the joint of the hose, and Yu Lisa squatted on the ground, learning to roll the hose, working hard, ignoring his mother's greeting.He Zisheng said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, let him play. Maybe he's tired of playing now, and he won't like it when he grows up. In the future, he will go to university and be educated and promising!"

This word caught Zhao Fang's ears, and she said happily, "Yes, we don't ask our children to be high-ranking officials, and they are educated and knowledgeable to travel all over the world." Sun Mingjie followed up and flattered, "Sister-in-law, the name 'Yu Lisa' is well-chosen, it has momentum!" Zhao Fang said: "Hey, how can our old Yu have such a level? It was his master Lao Ren who helped him get the name." He Zisheng's heart skipped a beat: Mr. Ren is Yu Manjiang's master? "What's his nickname? It's easier to say a nickname." Sun Mingjie asked.

Zhao Fang was stunned for a moment, and said, "I don't have a nickname. Otherwise, can you help me get one?" He Zisheng collected material from the spot, and said casually, "Is it Xiao Sazi?" Zhao Fang's eyes lit up: "Very good!" Before the lights were turned off that day, Yu Manjiang, who never cared about his personal affairs, lost his temper for the first time. He stood in the field and yelled: "Who gave my son a nickname? This is... this is a historic mistake that must be corrected!" Sun Mingjie covered his mouth and smiled: "Historic mistake? Really profound!"

Fang Ping said: "The pet name of a lifetime is of course historic." He Zisheng was puzzled, and asked Fang Ping in a low voice, "It's my nickname, what's the problem?" Fang Ping laughed "hehe", and whispered in He Zisheng's ear, "You don't know, in the dialect of Jianglin City, 'Sa' and 'Silly' have the same pronunciation, and 'Xiao Sazi' means 'Little Fool'! " Yu Manjiang was making a fuss, and Zhao Fang was trotting downstairs in a big flowered padded jacket and calico cotton shoes.She came forward to support He Zisheng, and her remarks were classic, quite similar to Song Dandan's performance of the skit "Yangge Love" in the Spring Festival Gala.She said: "What's wrong with being called a little fool? You are a big fool, of course your son is called a little fool. You say, are you so stupid? You want to serve as a soldier in the deep mountains and old mountains, and you won't be able to leave the mountains for a year or so. I admit it. But, you see, across a barracks thinner than a biscuit, there is a colorful world outside, and the inside is deserted, guarding the barracks all day long, endless fire alarms, and endless training. I finally came here Come back, tell me, have you ever gone shopping with my son? When I gave birth and confinement, did you go back and see our poor mother and son? You are the only one busy all over the world, and you are busier than the Prime Minister, silly Egg!"

Once a woman settles old accounts with a man, such as finding old IOUs in a warehouse inventory, the first person to be infected is often the creditor himself.Speaking of the last two sentences, Zhao Fang's eyes were red, she rolled up her sleeves and wiped her eye sockets indiscriminately, and went upstairs with a "giggle". In this situation, Sun Mingjie commented: "This sister-in-law is really a drag." He Zisheng responded, saying: "She should be able to see that our squadron is really busy, and the squadron leader really didn't fool her, why can't she be considerate of the squadron leader!"

Fang Ping said: "Then you all misread it. The exact news: Zhao Fang's sister-in-law and the squadron leader's childhood sweetheart, don't look at her hard-spoken, in fact, she is very considerate of the squadron leader. When she was pregnant and about to give birth, she was worried that it would affect the squadron leader's work. She gave birth to a child in her hometown alone. As soon as the child was one month old, she brought her to the squadron to visit relatives from afar, so that the squadron leader could see her own flesh and blood earlier." The three of them were talking, and a well-known soldier walked over mysteriously, "The squadron leader and his sister-in-law closed the door to quarrel, and Deputy Director Wang is not in the team to visit relatives. Squad leader He, do you want to persuade them?"

Fang Ping said: "It's hard for an upright official to break up housework, why should we take care of it? But...it's good to hear what they are arguing about." The three tiptoed to the fourth floor and attached their ears to the door. I only heard Zhao Fang's voice screaming, "Back pain! It must have fallen from the fire last time. If you dare to bear it, I will accompany you to the hospital tomorrow!" Yu Manjiang muttered in a low voice: "What's the big deal, you think I'm a young bud tree? Pay attention to exercise, I'll be fine in two days."

Zhao Fang said: "You are an old tree stump that can't stand a few blows! Listen to me, give me the passbook, and I will withdraw the money before going to the hospital tomorrow." "Forget it, you women are born to make a fuss out of molehills." "Ah—" Zhao Fang let out a shrill scream that almost deafened He Zisheng's ears, "The 2,000 yuan in the passbook is gone!" "Can you keep your voice down?" Yu Manjiang stopped in a low voice, "I'm borrowing it." Zhao Fang shouted angrily: "I won't lend it to any woman!"

Yu Manjiang said: "What are you thinking all day long? The father of a soldier in the squadron fell ill and was short of money. I paid for his hospitalization expenses." Zhao Fang snapped: "Your unit has no money? Do you have to lend it to him personally?" "It's not that you don't know that the squadron's funds have been very tight..." "Wuwu——" Zhao Fang cried, "I'm blind, who am I to marry! If I don't care about my family, I can bear it. If I don't care about my son and me, I can bear it. Now he doesn't even care about his own life. God, I What hope is there!"

Yu Manjiang said in a low voice, "Slow down, you want all the soldiers in the squadron to hear?" Zhao Fang's voice instantly increased by 5 decibels, "I heard it when I heard it, I won't let you go! People like you don't deserve a home, a wife and children. I'll take my son away tomorrow morning!" Yu Manjiang's voice was even lower, "Hey, hey, I have something to say, Fang, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong ten thousand times, I apologize. Don't throw things around. This, this, my third-class merit medal, Don't throw it!" He, Sun, and Fang were listening to the excitement when suddenly there was a loud "boom", and the door was kicked open from the inside. It shot out and hit He Zisheng on the forehead.Just as He Zisheng was about to cry out in pain, Fang Ping and Sun Mingjie reacted quickly, pinching him from left to right, "Go!" He Zisheng didn't forget to turn his head during the "escape". He wanted to see what the "weapon" that hit him was. He saw a golden military medal shining alone in the dark corridor. In the minds of He Zisheng and Sun Mingjie, half of Yu Manjiang's "brilliant" image was destroyed by this. They came to the conclusion: Don't look at the squadron leader who is usually fierce, majestic, and full of machismo. Unexpectedly, he Actually afraid of his wife.A man who is afraid of his wife is more pathetic than good iron but not steel! Only Fang Ping had a different opinion, and he said in an envious tone: "Sister-in-law Zhao Fang loves the squadron leader very much. To marry such a good wife, the squadron leader is really worth it!" When he said these words, He Zisheng and Sun Mingjie choked on the boiled water at the same time. In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Fang packed a package and was ready to leave. Yu Manjiang stopped him all the way to the gate of the camp.Yu Manjiang grabbed Zhao Fang's package and pleaded: "I'm going to the police, and I'll talk about everything when I get back, okay?" After speaking, Yu Manjiang quickly understood the police situation, and urgently assembled to issue an order: "A collapse accident occurred at the construction site of Fengqiao Building in the area of ​​responsibility of our squadron. Many staff members were buried under pressure, and the site is still collapsing. The district government ordered the police to rescue people. Get out of the No. 2 fire engine, and the second squad will follow me to the police!" This time He Zisheng is on standby, and Sun Mingjie is the police.In fact, Sun Mingjie, the squad leader who drives the ladder car, is a "bare squad leader". He is programmed in the second squad for daily combat, and he is dispatched with the police when necessary. Yu Manjiang boarded the fire truck and rang the alarm bell and drove out of the camp gate.He Zisheng originally thought that Zhao Fang would just leave in a fit of anger, but unexpectedly, she stared at the back of the fire truck, stood there for a long time, took Xiao Sazi's hand, and slowly walked back to the camp area, up to the dormitory on the fourth floor . This time, Yu Manjiang went to the police for a very long time, and he returned to the team near dinner time.During this period, He Zisheng led the team to call out four or five fire alarms. He Zisheng noticed that Yu Manjiang, who had returned to the team, had many broken wounds on his face and hands, his combat uniform was torn and torn, and his face was gloomy, obviously in an extremely bad mood.Not only that, but all the comrades who participated in the battle seemed particularly tired. He Zisheng felt that the situation was not good, so he asked Sun Mingjie in a low voice, "What's going on at the scene?" Sun Mingjie showed his broken arm to He Zisheng, and said, "Terrible. Eight died and six were seriously injured." He looked around vigilantly, and then said in a low voice, "I heard that among the victims, one was a detachment logistician. The older brother of Section Chief Jinmei." He Zisheng asked in surprise, "Huh?" Just as they were talking, a jeep with a detachment license plate went straight past the gate of the squadron camp. It made a beautiful right turn and made a U-turn. The car failed to stop, and a person jumped out of the driver's seat. Jin Mei's posture was somewhat similar to that of Zhao Fang the night before. She didn't have her hips akimbo, but her brows stood upright, "Yu Manjiang, come out!" Yu Manjiang came out in front of Jinmei, "Jinmei, listen to me..." Before he finished speaking, there was a "slap", clean and neat, and he was slapped on the right cheek.The person who beat him was naturally Jin Mei. The officers and soldiers present, including He Zisheng, were stunned for 2 to 5 seconds.What era?What day is it today!OMG!Someone actually dared to slap the squadron leader in public on the training ground of No. 1 Squadron!Will Mars hit Earth, or is Earth about to explode on its own? ! He Zisheng was the first to react, and rushed between the two of them, boldly pulling Jinmei, "Chief Jin, please speak carefully if you have something to say, don't misunderstand!" Jin Mei ignored He Zisheng at all, there was only hatred in her eyes, a tear fell on her cheek, she raised her hand to wipe it away, and then pointed at Yu Manjiang's nose with the index finger of this hand, "You...do you want to die? save!" He Zisheng didn't believe it at all. With Yu Manjiang's personality, he would only save him with death. However, Yu Manjiang's expression made people suspicious. He lowered his head halfway to avoid Jin Mei's gaze. "Hey, hey, who are you, you dare to hit my husband!" Zhao Fang appeared from nowhere, with a high spirit, like a door god, and like a hen ready to fight at any time, standing in front of Yu Manjiang, Filled with righteous indignation, he glared at the tall and handsome female police officer in front of him. "Yu Manjiang, you have nothing to say, right!" Jin Mei's monstrous anger was only directed at Yu Manjiang, and everyone else was like cannon fodder in her eyes, "I know, you were always unhappy about being rejected for pursuing me back then, You even hold a grudge. If you are angry, you can attack me, why do you want to take revenge on my brother, he is my real brother, my only family member!" Now it was Zhao Fang's turn to be furious, and she turned her head and yelled at Yu Manjiang: "Oh, I understand, no wonder you have only been home once in the years since we got married, no wonder you always put on a dead face that you are dissatisfied with me, so you While eating in the pot and looking at the vegetable field, you, you, you..." She had limited words in her stomach, and after a while, she came up with a nondescript joke, "You are in Cao Ying, and your heart is in Han!" Yu Manjiang frowned, and said to Zhao Fang in a low voice: "It's not what you imagined, can you stop making trouble here? I'll explain to you later." Zhao Fang jumped up to eight feet high, "Huh, it's terrible, I think I'm making trouble! I, I'll go, I'll take Xiao Sazi back to my hometown, and I won't come to the city to embarrass you again!" After finishing speaking, she flew upstairs, and after a while He came down with Xiao Sazi in his arms, and Xiao Sazi was so frightened by this scene that he burst into tears, and Yu Manjiang didn't stop him.Fang Ping and Sun Mingjie hurried forward to pull Zhao Fang all the way to the gate of the camp, but Zhao Fang took her son and left without persuasion. On this side, Jin Mei finished venting, got into the jeep, slammed the door shut, started the jeep and left. When it's lively, it's like singing a big show, but when it's gone, it's terrifyingly quiet, leaving only Yu Manjiang sitting silently in the middle of the training ground holding his head. That night, the investigation team of the detachment entered the No. 1 Squadron, led by Jiang Yun, the deputy detachment leader in charge of combat training. Jiang Yun called a meeting of all the combatants and squadron leaders that day, and questioned Yu Manjiang on the spot. The questioning meeting was quite serious, and He Zisheng dared not show his air throughout the meeting. Jiang Yun is very young, only 32 years old, and has already served as the deputy head of the deputy regiment.He has a Chinese character face, serious and unsmiling, just like Bao Gong in the TV series, "Yu Manjiang, please explain the situation to the investigation team about the process of handling the collapse accident at the construction site of Fengqiao Building today." Yu Manjiang said: "At 8:35 this morning, my squadron was dispatched by the Jiangnan District Government. I led the team and dispatched a fire truck and 8 soldiers to deal with the collapse accident. We arrived at the accident site at about 8:42. The scene was very chaotic. , the main body of the building is designed with thirteen floors, and the podiums on the north and south sides are each designed with four floors. It is a steel-concrete structure. More than 10 on-site construction workers were trapped in the northern podium. I led 6 soldiers into the northern building and rescued 6 people before it completely collapsed." Jiang Yun said coldly: "After hearing your explanation, I thought you were a hero. However, I think you also know that the site of the collapse of the North Building has been cleaned up. Among them is an engineer named Jin Shu, whose body lies in the ground." The lying position is only one step away from the safety zone! You were the last rescuer to leave the collapse site. Although you were carrying a construction worker on your back at the time, you should be able to rescue the golden tree. Why didn’t you rescue it? ?He is the closest to the safe zone, and the easiest way to rescue! Moreover, the brain of the worker you recited was severely injured, and he failed to be rescued after being sent to the hospital! Yu Manjiang, I have to ask, how did you rescue him? What is the idea? Do you have a brain? Why do you want to abandon the most hopeful golden tree?" Yu Manjiang was expressionless. He always listened carefully to Jiang Yun's questions, nodded occasionally, and sometimes shook his head. After Jiang Yun waited for a long time, he stood up and saluted, "Deputy Captain Jiang, I made a mistake in this operation. I am willing to Take responsibility. As long as I am not allowed to take off this police uniform, I am willing to accept all punishments from the detachment!" The officers and soldiers present were taken aback by these words.He Zisheng was full of doubts: Yu Manjiang was never this kind of person! Jiang Yun was obviously dissatisfied with this answer, "A mistake? Just admit that there was a mistake? Where is the mistake? Yu Manjiang, I have always thought that you are of excellent quality in all aspects. This time the detachment promoted the battalion leadership cadres. You are the leader of the first brigade. Candidate for the captain. However, if you cannot give a satisfactory answer to the handling of this accident, don’t blame Comrade Jin Mei for thinking that you are avenging your own personal revenge, and don’t blame the masses for thinking about the rescue of the fire brigade. , I believe that firefighters can choose whether to save or not to rescue according to their personal preferences, or which one to save first and which one to save later. Let me tell you, this is a big problem! It is no longer a question of whether you can take off your police uniform, but It involves the image of the entire fire brigade and the work philosophy! The detachment will deal with it seriously!" Yu Manjiang sat down, took a deep breath, and said, "Give me a cigarette." Jiang Yun threw him a Hardman, and Yu Manjiang coughed and smoked until he reached the butt of the cigarette, pressed it out, stood up and said, "I have nothing to say." Jiang Yun held his breath and said, "If you don't tell me, this is self-abandonment, and the investigation team will draw a conclusion." According to the instructions of the investigation team, Wang Wei, who was visiting relatives, was urgently recalled to preside over the work of the squadron, and Yu Manjiang was ordered to temporarily suspend his duties for self-reflection.The investigation team was not idle either, talking to the soldiers who were dispatched to the police one by one, and went to the scene to investigate and visit. Days passed, and according to He Zisheng's observation, the investigation did not make much progress. Every time Jiang Yun ate in the squadron cafeteria, he put on a contemplative look with a long way to go.Yu Manjiang was obviously dark and thin, and his image began to approach Yu Lisa, but his spirit was still good, and he didn't seem to have any ideological baggage. On the seventh day, He Zisheng was in a panic—the investigation team probably had to go home to draw conclusions!I came to this judgment because the first thing Jiang Yun said when he walked into the cafeteria that morning was: "Today, the food will be richer. Our investigation team will stay in your squadron for the last day, so there must be a farewell atmosphere." While speaking, he was conscious He glanced at Yu Manjiang who was buried in the corner of the restaurant drinking porridge. Yu Manjiang, as if he had never heard of it, grabbed a white flour steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth. After breakfast and starting business training, He Zisheng sighed while carrying the equipment. Fang Ping approached him and said, "The emperor is not in a hurry for the eunuchs. You are worried these days." He Zisheng said: "There must be something hidden behind the incident of the squadron leader. However, if he refuses to tell it himself, no matter how much we worry about him, we will be lifting tofu with a hemp rope, and we will not be able to do it!" Fang Ping said with a smile: "I always thought you had a deep relationship with the squadron leader, but I didn't expect Mingjie to do the same. These days, I see that he can't sleep well every night, and sometimes he talks in his sleep." He Zisheng said: "Oh? What is he talking about in his sleep? Did he scold me?" "I used to scold him a lot, ha ha, but not recently. I woke up in the middle of the night last night and heard him muttering non-stop, so I leaned closer to listen. It turned out that he had been yelling, 'Say it or not, say it or not'." He Zisheng laughed uncontrollably: "Do you want to talk? What do you mean!" Fang Ping also laughed: "This kid, don't be a girl who fell in love with someone when he went to the police to put out the fire, and fell into unrequited love." He Zisheng laughed, laughed twice, and suddenly made a "stop" gesture, asking: "Old Fang, Mingjie also went to the police with Captain Yu that day, right?" "Of course, he was also summoned by Deputy Captain Jiang to talk to him. It's not like you don't know about this." He Zisheng put the equipment on the spot, "Go, find him!" Sun Mingjie is maintaining his ladder car, adding oil to the crank arm of the car.He Zisheng walked over, "Mingjie, do you know anything about Captain Yu?" A drop of oil fell on the ground, and Sun Mingjie quickly dipped it in a towel, without raising his head, he said, "I don't understand what you mean." He Zisheng grabbed the towel and threw it away casually, "The oily stains on the floor can be washed away with water, and a person who suffered an injustice is also a temporary stain, which can be washed away one day, such as Captain Yu. However, if a person's heart is stained with stains, although no one else can see them, the stains will grow bigger and bigger, and the whole heart will be blackened. The heart of revenge is dizzy!" After finishing speaking, he turned to leave, but was stopped by Sun Mingjie. Sun Mingjie said: "He Zi, you look down on me too much! Yes, I did have objections to Captain Yu's failure to promote me as squad leader, and I also had the idea of ​​revenge on him. However, I have already figured it out, and I plan to maintain the ladder truck. Just explain the situation to Vice Captain Jiang. I am no worse than you, please don't always stand on the commanding heights of morality and teach me!" He Zisheng laughed "hehe", ran over and squatted in front of Sun Mingjie, and said, "Are you angry? Don't be angry, I was wrong, I was wrong, I didn't know you have such a high level of thought, you punish me, you beat me, you want No, I kowtow to you and plead guilty?" Sun Mingjie said angrily: "He Zisheng, why am I so blind, I am your friend, and punish you to help me maintain the ladder car!" He Zisheng flattered him, "You are a dog with eyes, you saw my dog—" After three steps, five steps and two steps to maintain the ladder car, the three of them found Jiang Yun together. Jiang Yun was discussing the "case" with two other members of the investigation team in the squadron's conference room, with unconcealable gloom on his brows.Sun Mingjie yelled "report" and entered the door, saying: "Chief, I have important information to report to you about the disposal of the collapse accident! On that day, Captain Yu was the last rescuer to evacuate the collapse site, and I was the second last indivual." "Didn't you report this situation a long time ago? You said at the time that the situation was urgent and you didn't know about Yu Manjiang's rescue situation." Jiang Yun said. Sun Mingjie said: "I lied. Because I have been annoyed at the unfair treatment of Squadron Leader Yu, I deliberately concealed some facts." Jiang Yun stared at Sun Mingjie with piercing eyes, "Why did you decide to speak out now? Or, to put it another way, I would also doubt the authenticity of what you said, whether you have the suspicion of making excuses for Yu Manjiang." Sun Mingjie said: "I decided to tell the truth because, as firefighters, we are always faced with the task of breaking through the fire line to rescue disasters and rescue people. I hope that when I perform the task, what beats in my chest is an open and bright heart. Not a stained heart!" Jiang Yun nodded heavily: "That's a good point, let's continue." Sun Mingjie's narration restored the scene of that day—— On the same day, Yu Manjiang rushed into the scene where the north building was collapsing, and first recited one wounded person, and other soldiers also recited several wounded one after another.When he learned that there were still people trapped in the building and that Sun Mingjie hadn't come out, he immediately ordered the soldiers not to enter the scene again, and rushed in for the second time alone. When he rushed in for the second time, he saw the golden tree at first glance.Jin Shu was limping out, saw Yu Manjiang, and shouted overjoyed, "Hey, Xiao Yu, it's me, Jin Mei's brother! Help me out!" Yu Manjiang saw that Jin Shu was injured only on his right leg and was able to walk around. In the corner in front of him, there was a man with bleeding head curled up, so he said to Jin Shu, "Hurry up and run out by yourself. Look, there is another An injured person, I will carry him!" But Jin Shu held Yu Manjiang's skirt tightly, and shouted hysterically: "Leave him alone! I can't run, help me out, this place is about to collapse!" Yu Manjiang was very disgusted, he broke Jin Shu's hand coldly and quickly, and said, "I must carry him out." Then he ran over and called Sun Mingjie to leave quickly while carrying the seriously injured.At this time, Sun Mingjie was actually not far from them. Because one leg of the rescue target was pressed by a masonry, he took a lot of effort to move the masonry away, which wasted time. Yu Manjiang ran out of the scene. Jin Shu had no choice but to walk out by himself.Yu Manjiang's footsteps were faster than his. The moment he rushed out of the collapsing building with the injured on his back, he turned his head and shouted loudly to Jin Shu: "Hurry up, I'll help you right away!" Unexpectedly, at this moment, the building in front of him melted like an egg tart, dissolving before the eyes of Yu Manjiang and Sun Mingjie. After listening to Sun Mingjie's narration, a cadre of the investigation team said to Jiang Yun in puzzlement: "The truth is not complicated. Why is Comrade Yu Manjiang still unwilling to tell it?" Jiang Yun let out a long breath, and said: "What we need is the truth. As for the facts behind the truth, it belongs to the category that sociologists or psychologists should think about. You can inquire about it, and even write a paper based on it. However, what you want to write now is an investigation report. You were frowning just now, but you can write it now!" The construction site collapse incident of Fengqiao Building was like a heavy rainstorm, which wiped out the First Squadron; Learning, the order of daily life returns to its original position, as if nothing happened. He Zisheng once imagined that Jin Mei would personally go to the squadron to apologize for her misunderstanding, tears filled her eyes, and said to Yu Manjiang with shame on her face: "I blamed you wrongly, you slap me back, and it will be evened!" However, this scene never happened before He Zisheng's eyes.Fang Ping is busy preparing for the military academy entrance examination, and has no time to pay attention to He Zisheng's whimsical thoughts.On the contrary, Sun Mingjie laughed at him and said, "You think Qiong Yao's romantic drama will be staged now? You still blame me, why don't you let me slap you to wake you up." At dinner on May 13th, Fang Ping, who had gone to the detachment to participate in the military academy pre-examination, brought back a message: the detachment just announced the appointment, the squadron leader Yu Manjiang was promoted, and was appointed as the captain of the first fire brigade! As soon as the news came out, the entire squadron boiled.Immediately, a soldier proposed to ask Squadron Captain Yu, oh no, Captain Yu to treat him! This proposal got 100% approval votes, so everyone cheered and came to the squadron headquarters.In the squadron headquarters, there is only one instructor, Wang Wei.Then I went to the dormitory, study room, and honor room, and searched all 19 warehouses, rooms, and fields of the squadron. It was strange that I didn't see Yu Manjiang, which never happened. Even Wang Wei heard that Captain Yu's "disappearance" was also taken aback, and he quickly ordered the soldiers to search around, and they must find Captain Yu back! He Zisheng wandered around the camp for the second time, and suddenly his heart moved. He greeted the guard's duty room and walked quickly to the fire watch tower. The officer on duty of the first class soldier had already gotten acquainted with He Zisheng, and greeted him cordially, saying, "Comrade, it's fortunate that you brought back what Mr. Ren lost, otherwise we would have had a hard time. Your Squadron Leader Yu was also on board, and you even brought wine. Are you going up?" What He Zisheng was waiting for was the latter sentence.He walked up gently and slowly, and when he reached the corner of the stairs on the sixth to seventh floors, the strong aroma of wine had entered his nostrils. The nose blocks the sneeze back into the nasal cavity.Above, the conversation between Mr. Ren and Yu Manjiang was transmitted. Mr. Ren said: "I know your thoughts, and you refuse to tell the truth. First, you want to help Jinmei maintain Jinshu's image, and you don't want her to lose face in front of the entire detachment. Second, because of Jinmei, You feel guilty for not being able to rescue Jin Shu!" Hearing Yu Manjiang's "cuckoo" drinking, after a while, he said: "Master, there are some things in the past, you know best. I drank too much today, so I'm not afraid to say it, yes, I once loved Jinmei, until now Now, I still love her, even though she never loved me. In fact, she rejected me very decisively back then. However, since I got married, I have been working hard to love Zhao Fang and love my home. There has never been any mess Thoughts. I feel guilty because I did commit an unforgivable big mistake, and I am not eligible to be promoted." Elder Ren said: "I told you earlier, don't be too harsh on yourself, what's your fault?" "I made a big mistake. First of all, if I had more professional knowledge and a higher level, and could accurately judge the time when the building collapsed, maybe I would take corresponding rescue measures, and the golden tree would not die; secondly, if I If I can truly understand a person's desire to survive, then I will definitely not treat Jin Shu so coldly and let him leave this world with despair." Mr. Ren said: "At this stage, the duty of the fire brigade is only to put out fires, and they have not assumed the responsibility for rescue of collapse accidents. Your rescue is already a part of your job. Also, don't you want to be a psychologist to understand the dangers of various groups of people? The psychology of time? Don’t think of yourself as the savior. There are too many institutional and fundamental things that you and I can’t solve and change. You see, when I regarded myself as the savior, what kind of result did I have in the end?” Yu Manjiang was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Master, your daughter... Ya Ya... will find it." Elder Ren let out a sigh.The sound of sighing reached He Zisheng's ears, which made him feel desolate. "10 years, don't count on it... Alas, 10 years have passed, look, how much has our firefighting infrastructure, public firefighting awareness, and your squadron's equipment and equipment improved? The change is minimal. The key question is, firefighting, firefighting , It is necessary not only to eliminate fires, but also to prevent fires. Now you are about to start fire prevention work, but our country does not even have a law on fire protection. How to carry out work? How do ordinary people listen to you?" Yu Manjiang said: "Master, you don't have to be too disappointed and pessimistic. Perhaps, the country's legislation on fire protection work is like we cultivate a good seedling in fire protection. It will take time. Xiao He, whom I recommended to you a while ago, what do you think?" ?” He Zisheng was originally standing and listening to the two talking, and while listening, he unknowingly sat sideways on the steps, when he suddenly heard the two mentioning himself, he immediately stood up and pricked up his ears. Just let Mr. Ren say: "It's not bad, it's worthy of making trees." "That kid is smart, eager to learn, both principled and flexible, and the most rare thing is his unwillingness to admit defeat." Yu Manjiang was a little complacent. Mr. Ren said: "On the fire scene, firefighters can only rush forward, break through the fire line, and try their best to solve the problem. This Xiaohe is already an excellent firefighter." "No, this is far from enough. I have been paying attention to training him, hoping that he can become an excellent fire commander, and even go to a broader stage to display himself. In comparison, the culture of our generation of firefighters After all, the level is too low, and with the development of the times, firefighting work is bound to face unprecedented technological pressure, and the future of firefighting will depend on He Zisheng’s generation, or even the newer generation after He Zisheng.” Mr. Ren said indifferently: "Looking at what you said, it seems that the firefighting work will have a bright future. I will still say that. I'm afraid I won't have the life to see that day." Yu Manjiang laughed "hehe" and said: "Master, you are always like this, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, the fire in your heart is actually burning all the time and never stops." He Zisheng quietly descended the tower without disturbing Ren and Yu.In the short 20-minute journey from the water tower to the squadron, he had a lot of emotions in his heart.He never imagined that he would be placed with such high hopes by Yu Manjiang. The pickiness, embarrassment, and punishment he thought before were all because Yu Manjiang wanted to sharpen himself.What moved him even more was that from the conversation between Mr. Ren and Yu Manjiang, he really felt the love of these two generations of firefighters for their career. It is not the so-called "love" that ordinary men and women talk about, but a kind of Loyalty and respect for the cause that go deep into the bones and connect the blood. He Zisheng asked himself: Although I also like my career, do I have such a deep love? The obvious answer is: not yet. He Zisheng was ashamed of his answer. When He Zisheng was thinking about the proposition of "firefighting career", someone threw out different choices and answers to him. That's Fang Ping! In August, the results of the military academy's unified examination were announced, and Fang Ping failed. He Zisheng comforted Fang Ping, "Don't be discouraged, keep working hard, and take the exam next year, and you will surely realize your dream!" Fang Ping said in amazement: "What ideal? Don't talk so lofty! When I entered the military academy, I wanted to become a cadre and find a safe job. In what era, who still takes ideals for food. Firefighting work is nothing but A profession that is no different than a plumber, a bank clerk, a teacher, a doctor. I thought it was time for me to leave." Sun Mingjie persuaded Fang Ping from another angle: "Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are afraid of entering the wrong profession. Fang Ping, you have to admit that since we choose to be firefighters, then it is the most economical manpower, material and financial resources to be admitted to the military academy." The life path of time and time. Therefore, I suggest that you seriously prepare for the exam, and no matter what next year, you will be admitted to the military academy with me and He Zisheng!"
