Xiaohu took Gao Shengmei and Jiang Jun to the last row and sat them down. "The commander of our comrades came today and told us to sit in the back."
Gao Shengmei was eager to do so: "Okay! Then tell my dad that we can take care of lunch on our own and not follow the main group. And let Uncle Chen's guards take care of Aunt Ye."
There are ten people in the reporting group, and there are eight soldiers giving reports. If each person speaks for an hour, it will take eight hours. Add in the leader's speech, and this report meeting will definitely take a whole day.
When we entered the auditorium, the main lights had been turned off and the ceiling lights on the stage were illuminating the red curtain. The venue was very quiet and no one in the audience was talking.
Gao Shengmei took Jiang Yun's hand and walked to the middle of the last row in the first half, where they sat down one seat away from a young soldier.
The young soldier next to her turned around and stared at Gao Shengmei.
Gao Shengmei looked back. All the people who came to listen to the report today were cadres at the regimental level and above. This person looked so young, he didn't even look like he could reach the regimental level. He stared at her so directly, which was quite rude. It seemed that he didn't know who she was. "Which regiment are you from? Why didn't you bring your family?"
The young soldier's eyes were bright: "My last name is Yue, and I am a family member!"
Gao Shengmei was stunned for a moment: "Surname Yue? There doesn't seem to be any officer with the surname Yue above the regimental level in the army!"
In the documentary they just finished filming, even the faces of cadres above the official level appeared, but it seemed that no one with the surname Yue had been seen.
The young man laughed: "Our brother unit has it!"
Gao Shengmei tilted her head and glared back, somewhat dissatisfied with the other's direct gaze: "Which brother unit? Your surname is Yue? What's your full name? Maybe I know it!"
"My name is Yue Peng! My father is Yue Hua!"
Yue Hua is the commander of another military region. He sent Yue Peng to Beijing for training and came to visit his old comrades Gao Lei and Chen Zhong.
Gao Shengmei immediately put on a smile: "Oh! Uncle Yue? Hey, I know him! We have a photo of my dad and Uncle Yue at home! You don't look like your dad!"
Yue Peng's eyes sparkled, and he moved forward a little: "If you look closely, they are very similar."
At this time, all the lights above the auditorium went out, and the announcer came out from behind the red curtain and excitedly announced that the report meeting on advanced deeds would begin now.
Gao Shengmei quickly sat down: "Let's listen to the report!"
Taking advantage of the cover of darkness, Jiang Jun looked over Gao Shengmei's shoulder and saw Xiao Yue from the brother unit still looking at them without any scruples.
Jiang Jun's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt like this was going to be a blind date!
However, there were two seats between her and Yue Peng, so she couldn't see clearly and had no time to pay much attention. She was immediately attracted by the reporting group on the stage.
The two soldiers who were in the front row to give reports were activists. They were not afraid of hardship or fatigue in training and were conscientious and conscientious in their duties. Their advanced deeds were both simple and touching.
Being a soldier is hard, and being a border guard is even harder. In the winter when it snows heavily and the ground is covered with ice and snow, even animals don't come out to look for food, but they still have to insist on patrolling to ensure the safety of the border.
The third people to take the stage to speak were Chen Yuefei and Xu Zhijian. This time the second-class merit was a common honor for both of them, so Chen Yuefei gave the main speech and Xu Zhijian supplemented it from the side.
The form of their report was very special. Chen Yuefei vividly recreated the experience of the two of them on patrol.
It was a night in early winter, and a sudden snowstorm hit. Chen Yuefei and Xu Zhijian were on foot patrol when they met a fellow villager who asked them for help.
The two of them kept in mind the army's teachings to protect the lives and property of the people, so they risked their own lives and braved the snowstorm to rescue collective property with the local people.
During the rescue process, they unexpectedly found an orphaned herder who was in critical condition under half a foot of ice and snow.
Chen Yuefei took off his military coat, and Xu Zhijian took off his cotton gloves, and put them on the orphan. Then they found a place to shelter from the wind. Chen Yuefei also held the orphan in his arms to keep him warm, rubbed his hands and feet to help him regain consciousness.
Xu Zhijian added that the orphan's name was Jiang Yuan. When they rescued him, it was too cold to notice anything. Only when they returned to the company camp did they discover Jiang Yuan was covered in lice, including in his hair and clothes. His skin was covered in tiny, densely packed bumps. Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Winter is good because the lice are frozen and can't bite."
Despite the cold weather, the cooks in the kitchen boiled two large pots of hot water. They shaved Jiang Yuan's head, shaved him from head to toe three times with soap, and changed him into new clothes.
Jiang Yuan said with a silly smile, "It turns out that not having lice really means you don't have to suffer! It turns out that not everyone gets lice!"
Jiang Yuan was extremely grateful to Chen Yuefei and Xu Zhijian and insisted on staying in the border defense company, saying that he would work like a slave for them to repay them for saving his life.
Gao Shengmei was so excited when she heard this that she turned to Jiang Jun and said, "Hey, Xiao Jiang, Xiao Fei and the others... Hey, why are you crying?"
Jiang Yun covered her nose and mouth with a handkerchief and sobbed, tears falling like beads from a broken string.
She really couldn't help it.
She is allergic to scars and has been afraid of mosquito bites since she was a child. Others would just get a small red dot when bitten by a mosquito and apply some cooling oil, but if she gets bitten by a mosquito, a red and swollen bump will appear, and she can't scratch it because scratching will easily leave a scar.
If what Xu Zhijian said was true, then how much suffering must Jiang Yuan have endured, and how terrible must his living environment have been!
If Jiang Yuan hadn't met Chen Yuefei and Xu Zhijian, he would have lost his life!
Jiang Yun's eyes flashed with the blank look of Jiang Yuan in the black and white photo again. That must be the reaction of someone who had become numb to the bites of lice and had become accustomed to it, right?
In the dead of winter, as an orphan, was he with nowhere to go or simply hungry? Why would he run outside during a snowstorm? Why was he an orphan? What was his life like before?
The more Jiang Yun thought about it, the sadder he became, and tears kept flowing.
Gao Shengmei found it a little unbelievable. The bloody war scenes in foreign movies were so realistic that even she, a director, was terrified and couldn't bear to watch them. However, Jiang Jun could still watch them over and over again as if nothing had happened, and translate them as if nothing had happened, without being affected by the mood at all.
What Xiao Fei said just now was very touching, but not to the point of making people cry!
"Xiao Jiang, let me lend you my handkerchief!" Gao Shengmei considerately handed over her handkerchief.
Jiang Yun changed her handkerchief, covered her eyes with it, and continued to cry.
If Chen Yuefei had told her about how he saved Jiang Yuan the night before, she might have burst into tears on the spot.
