Director of Rebirth

Time passed slowly inadvertently, and when he returned to the familiar military camp, back to familiar and unfamiliar comrades-in-arms, Shi Lei tried to feel everything he had neglected with his heart, and the comrades who had been together for two years found that although Shi Lei is still the taciturn and tasteless Shi Lei, but he can make people feel that the care he has given has received a little bit of response. Although this response is a bit stiff and unnatural, everyone still understands it. I felt it, and while I was satisfied, I also secretly let out bursts of sniggering, and the relationship between each other became much more harmonious under the deliberate neglect.

In this slowly changing relationship, on January 1998, 1, at seven o'clock in the evening, after dinner and watching his comrades play poker for a while, Shi Lei left the dormitory with a pack of cigarettes and a plastic bag. After arriving at the camp, he didn't go far, but walked to a small intersection 5 meters away from the gate of the camp. Shi Lei picked up a stick, drew a small circle on the ground, squatted on the ground, and put the comrades out in plastic bags. The Changbai cakes and fruits brought back were placed in the circle on the ground. Today is the day when Li Yajing burns April 100th. There is no condition to burn paper here, so Shi Lei placed some offerings for his mother at the intersection.

After placing the things, Shi Lei squatted aside, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then slowly let out a breath. After a while, Shi Lei opened his mouth slowly. Song Jun, who was about to go home in the camp, saw figures and red dots squatting in the shade of the street lights from afar, Song Jun frowned slightly, turned around and asked the gate post, when he learned that Shi Lei had just walked out, Song Jun rushed Followed the figure and walked over.

Another cigarette was lit, and after taking two puffs, Shi Lei looked at the offerings in the circle and continued to babble, "Mom, I bought you Changbai Cake that you like. All the comrades said that the cakes made by this shop are special. Authentic, try it, if you like it, I will buy it for you next time, mom, tell you something, I will leave tomorrow, go to the military region to participate in training, mom, you know your son likes the army, this time to the training team , I will study hard. You believe in my son. Your son will definitely be admitted to the military academy. When the time comes, I will bring the notice to you and show it to you. By the way, Mom, don’t worry about your son. Let me tell you, since I came back, these comrades-in-arms are afraid that I will be sad, and they all take care of them openly and secretly, and even the squad leader of the cooking class specially left me a small stove when eating..."

Song Jun, who was approaching, stood behind Shi Lei and listened to Shi Lei's rambling, talking about how his comrades took care of him, about some interesting things that happened, about how he and his instructor Xiao Jianbin comforted him, one thing after another came from Shi Lei's mouth. The little things that popped up made Song Jun feel sore in his heart. Seeing Shi Lei's thin back even though he was wearing a military overcoat, Song Jun quietly turned and left.

Walking slowly on the way home, Song Jun thought of Shi Lei who was quietly talking to his mother in the dark, Song Jun sighed, with a deep sigh in his heart, don't tell me if you have money or not, what's better if your relatives are by your side Du Qiang, at this moment Song Jun is eager to see his wife and children.

After staying outside for nearly an hour, Shi Lei stood up with his legs numb and walked slowly towards the camp area. From the beginning to the end, Shi Lei never knew that the Song Army had just come, and went to the gate to say hello to the comrades standing guard , Shi Lei went straight back to the bedroom.

Walking into the dormitory, Shi Lei saw a pile of luggage on the ground at a glance, Shi Lei frowned slightly, thinking that he would have to pack the bedding when he got up tomorrow morning, Shi Lei felt a headache, although six people walked together, but there are too many people How can I get such a pile of things tomorrow?Shi Lei was a little worried, but this time, he had to bring them back after the exam. Although it was a bit of a headache, Shi Lei also knew that these things were indispensable.

Taking another look at the large bags piled up in the corner, Shi Lei walked back to the bed and sat down, and began to calculate his savings. During this time, Shi Lei had no thoughts or thought about the family savings at all, if it wasn't for today's daytime At that time, Li Yaping called and said that all the funeral expenses and medical expenses were reimbursed, but Shi Lei still couldn't remember.

Shi Lei knew that if it wasn't for the salary adjustments in the past few years, and his mother was a senior engineer secretly doing some private work, the family wouldn't be able to save any money at all, and the money the family saved in the past few years was also due to the housing reform in City D at the beginning of last year. , the old house at home belongs to the relocation house, part of the money in the family has been exchanged for the new house, and the remaining tens of thousands of dollars are paid for hospitalization and surgery at the end of the year. Fortunately, my mother has a job, so all the expenses will be paid to It was reimbursed and a funeral fee was paid.

After careful calculation, Shi Lei was able to figure it out. After deducting the reimbursement and funeral expenses, there is still 3000 yuan left to Li Yaping, and he still has the 5000 yuan that his mother gave him when he left as a soldier. , It was originally [-], but after spending some time in the past two years and going out to find a doctor, I still have [-] left.

After knowing how much money he has, Shi Lei breathed a sigh of relief. Although there are few places to spend money, but now he is in the stage where he can only get out and not get in. Although the military academy paid salary, but he didn't get it, Shi Lei didn't know how much money he had Moreover, Shi Lei has a habit of leaving some cross-river money for himself whenever possible, and this habit was told to him as a joke by his hospitalized mother when he was a child.

Shi Lei remembered that his mother said at that time, "No matter how difficult the situation is, you must leave the last bit of money for yourself, because you don't know what difficulties you will face tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. A little money can be your life-saving money." At that time, Shi Lei didn't understand what it meant, but when he grew up, Shi Lei gradually understood the meaning of his mother's words. According to Shi Lei's understanding, people have everything. When a horse breaks, expecting others to take care of it, it is better to strangle this idea and leave a way out for yourself. For ordinary people like them, what is a way out? Leaving life-saving money for themselves is a way out.

After understanding, Shi Lei will definitely leave a life-saving money for himself no matter when he arrives. It is a habit. After Shi Lei knew that his second aunt put the money into his passbook, he already planned to divide the money into two parts, one for [-] as a lump sum At the time of adulthood and death, a share of [-] was left as living money.

At the same time, Shi Lei also asked Li Yaping to go to his house to take care of the house, and rejected Li Yaping's suggestion to rent out the house. In Shi Lei's heart, it was the last memory left by his mother. Shi Lei didn't want outsiders to live in and destroy his mother. left traces.

Shi Lei, who had calculated everything clearly in his heart, raised his head and saw a pair of big heads in front of him. Shi Lei was startled. He was so engrossed in his thoughts. Opening the brains in front of him, "What are you two doing?"

Wang Jianguo smiled meanly, "Shitou, what are you thinking so seriously? A little girl from the health team?"

Wang Jianguo's words drew Li Baocheng's cheesy smile, and Shi Lei looked at the two smiling faces with a bit of a smile, stretched out his hand and pushed them away, stood up and moved their bodies, "Do you think I'm you two? Seeing that the little girl can't walk?" .”

Shi Lei's faint teasing caused Li Baocheng to exclaim, "Shitou can actually joke? Not bad, worthy of praise, let me just say, under my brother's leadership, Shitou will become like me sooner or later..." "Damn." Wang Jianguo grabbed the voice before Li Baocheng finished speaking.

Li Baocheng gave Wang Jianguo a contemptuous look, "I thought my brother was as tasteless as you, who is my brother? I am the most handsome man in the Thirteenth Company." Li Baocheng's brazen words made both Shi Lei and Wang Jianguo laugh, and the laughter attracted a lot of attention. The comrades who were idle in the dormitory next door, the comrades who entered the dormitory one by one, saw the luggage on the ground, and sent the most straightforward and sincere wishes to Wang Jianguo and Shi Lei who were about to participate in the training camp.

With this blessing, on the second day, Shi Lei, Wang Jianguo, Ning Haibo, Chen Chang, Zhuang Shouye, and Chen Jianli boarded the Great Liberation to see off, and looked at Xiao Jianbin and his comrades standing under the car, the six people in the car, Standing in the car, he solemnly paid a military salute, and rushed to the military region to participate in the six-month training camp under the escort of the company commander Song Jun with the company's expectations for them.

With this blessing, at eight o'clock the next morning, Shi Lei, Wang Jianguo, Ning Haibo, Chen Chang, Zhuang Shouye, and Chen Jianli boarded the farewell Great Liberation, looked at Xiao Jianbin and his comrades standing under the car, The six people stood in the car, solemnly paid a military salute, and rushed to the military region to participate in the six-month training camp under the escort of the company commander Song Jun with the company's expectations for them.

A group of people who arrived at the military area at 12:30 noon took the approved application form and walked into the compound of the training team. There were six people in one room. Before a few people had time to take a look at the dormitory conditions, they were rushed by Song Jun to sign up. Jun looked at the six people who hurried to the registration point, and carried the luggage of several people downstairs in the dormitory to the fourth floor one by one. After all the luggage was moved into the dormitory, Song Jun sat on the bed and gasped. What did you bring to help the brat? Why is it so heavy?"

Song Jun gasped and muttered, and rubbed his grumbling stomach. Song Jun stood up and walked downstairs. When he came downstairs, he looked in the direction of the registration point. Several people hadn't come back yet. Whispering, can't you be criticized for being late?

After waiting for another half an hour, when Song Jun was a little anxious, six people walked over slowly. Seeing the slow steps of several people, Song Jun was so angry, he thought to himself, I am here drinking the northwest wind and waiting to invite you to dinner , you six brats are still swaying slowly.

With this kind of anger, Song Jun quickly added his lips, trying to make his lips look oily, pushed out his deflated stomach, coughed twice, saw a few people approaching, Song Jun greeted loudly, " Why didn't I come back, I've already finished eating."

Wang Jianguo wailed at Song Jun's words, "Company Commander, didn't you say invite the six of us to dinner? Why did you eat first? I'm still hungry?"

Song Jun deliberately squinted at Wang Jianguo, "Don't you check the time, I'm hungry, you won't come, I don't eat and wait?"

Wang Jianguo looked at the book in his hand and then at Song Jun, and yelled aloud. Song Jun smiled and looked at the twitching people, happy in his heart, and just wanted to continue teasing a few people, a burst The belly groan sounded, and it happened to be heard by Wang Jianguo, who was closest to Song Jun. He lowered his head to look at Song Jun's stomach, and then looked up at Song Jun's smiling face. Rolling his eyes, Wang Jianguo turned around and looked at the comrades behind him calmly, "Put the books up first, and I'll treat you to dinner, let's have hot pot." After speaking, Wang Jianguo turned to look at Song Jun, "Company commander, since you finished eating, You go back first, don't send it off."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Song Jun, who was found to be cute, was amused by Wang Jianguo's appearance. He raised his leg to shine on Wang Jianguo's buttocks, and scolded with a smile, "You bastard, hurry up, I'm still hungry." Following Song Jun's words, there was a burst of laughter.
