Heart fire

After the opening ceremony, the exhibition officially kicked off.Xi Yang took Zhou Tong and followed the guest group to visit the exhibition halls one by one, watched product demonstrations, listened to the introduction of parameters and performance, gained a lot in the morning, and gained a lot of insight.

The thirteen exhibition halls are divided into eight themed areas, and it is simply not enough time to see them all in one day.In addition to the fire emergency rescue exhibition area, fire fighting equipment, equipment exhibition area and intelligent system exhibition area, the content of other exhibition areas is more for all levels of society, business units and construction units, displaying the latest and most intelligent fire alarm equipment and fire engineering achievements.

Anqi is the first listed company in China's fire protection industry. It is mainly engaged in the research and development and sales of fire protection vehicles and protective equipment. A single company occupies the entire No. [-] Hall, which is the largest in area, and the layout is quite magnificent.The most central display of the venue is the new generation of self-developed and world's first large-span elevating jet fire truck, which is a key project of their participation in this exhibition.

Zhou Tong was firmly attracted by the fire truck equipped with a large-span fully-folding boom in front of him. The large team had already moved to the next booth, and he was still standing there to watch.

"Such a boom span can achieve 360-degree precise fire fighting." Xi Yang did not urge him to leave, but stayed with him patiently and explained to him. "If it is put into use, it can solve the problem that ordinary fire trucks cannot approach dense buildings."

Then he pointed to another super-high-rise fire-fighting water supply truck: "This pump truck has a strong water pumping performance and can provide fire-fighting water for high-rise buildings..."

Zhou Tong stayed at the previous booth for too long, so he missed the explanation here. He did not expect the instructor to explain more detailedly than the staff.He was listening intently when a man's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Team Xi is really professional. It's different after going to a military academy."

Turning his head, he saw that Tao Weinan was the eccentric Tao Weinan just now.Zhou Tong immediately changed his position and stood side by side with Xi Yang, thinking how this person is so lingering, it's really annoying.

Tao Weinan was dressed like a dog in a suit and leather shoes, and his appearance made it hard to imagine that he was once an ordinary front-line firefighter.

"The water pumping performance of this pump truck has been tested and certified by UL. If the built-in system fails, it can send the fire extinguishing agent to a height of at least 420 meters." Tao Weinan added affectionately for Xi Yang, impatiently Show off to prove yourself to your former comrades-in-arms and remind him not to think that being an officer is superior to others.

"How about Team Xi, can it catch your eyes?" His tone was quite proud, and he took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Xi Yang: "A good horse with a good saddle. If the provincial special service purchases, I will Make sure to arrange and give the most affordable price."

"For the sake of the old comrade-in-arms." Seeing that Xi Yang didn't intend to accept it, Tao Weinan showed a sure-fire smile, and stuffed the card into his chest.

"Mr. Tao used to be a firefighter, isn't his business very good?" Xi Yang looked down at his chest pocket.

Tao Weinan waved his hands pretentiously: "Where, it's just a familiar face, and I hope that Team Xi will take care of me and give my brother a bite to eat."

"Then you may have found the wrong person." Xi Yang said while taking out the card and handing it to Zhou Tong. "I'm afraid I will disappoint you."

Zhou Tong understood immediately, took the card, looked around, locked a place, and said to Xi Yang: "Instructor, I'm going to throw out the trash, and I'll be right back."

After five years, people will always change, even the weakest soldier in the class back then.Tao Weinan wasn't surprised, nor was he angry, but looked at Zhou Tong's back running away, and asked with a half-smile, "Xiaoxi, is this the monitor's younger brother?"

Xi Yang didn't speak, Tao Weinan only took him as acquiescing, seemingly unintentionally, but deliberately stimulated him: "It looks so similar, I was shocked when I first saw it, I thought the squad leader crawled out of the ground for you It's gone." He looked away, and laughed loudly: Look, I'm already in the shadows. "

Seeing that Zhou Tong threw the card into the trash can and turned to go back, Tao Weinan suddenly approached and whispered in Xi Yang's ear: "Guess, if I go too far, he will teach me like his brother ?”

"I don't know." Xi Yang didn't evade, and there was no trace of emotion on his face: "You can try it. If you are injured, I will be responsible for sending you to the hospital and paying for the medical expenses."

As soon as the voice fell, Zhou Tong had already run back: "Instructor, all right, let's go."

"An Qi prepared a treat at Yuemanxuan opposite." Tao Weinan put his hands in his pockets, and said nonchalantly, "Will Team Xi do you some favors? There will be a drone fire-fighting test in the afternoon, let's go and have a look after dinner?"

Xi Yangquan pretended not to hear, turned around and left.Zhou Tong shielded him with one hand, fending off the passing crowd for him, and before leaving, he did not forget to glance at Tao Weinan, warning him with his eyes.

...

Hall [-] next door is the exhibition area for foreign exhibitors. Zhou Tong walked next to Xi Yang with little interest. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a red high-temperature-resistant fire-fighting robot. Its shape was very similar to that of Wall-E in the movie "WALL·E" , Shuttle back and forth between the booths under the remote control of the staff.

"It's so cute!" Zhou Tong immediately put Tao Weinan behind him, and excitedly pulled Xi Yang to squeeze past him.

The staff was introducing to the audience in English, and Zhou Tong translated to himself while listening: "No need for external auxiliary cooling...It can independently carry out fire reconnaissance, Fire extinguishing...sustainable work for more than 1 hour...can solve the world-class problem of being powerless to the high-temperature fire field at the core of the fire..."

"Instructor!" The more he listened, the more excited he became. "This is too powerful! Intervention team... No, we, all troops need it!"

"Huh?" Xi Yang came back to his senses after hearing his bluff, with a dazed expression on his face. "Sorry...it was too loud, I didn't hear clearly."

Seeing him absent-minded and a little lonely, Zhou Tong's mood fell to the bottom in an instant, and suddenly he had an urge to hold him in his arms and ask carefully, who is that damned Tao Weinan, what he said and what he did What happened to make his trainer so unhappy!

"I said, let's go eat?" Zhou Tong sighed silently and made a gesture of laughing: "I'm so hungry."

Xi Yang nodded in surprise, then raised his wrist and looked at his watch, thinking that Zhou Tong had eaten six boiled eggs, three fried dough sticks and two bowls of porridge before departure, and was actually hungry just after twelve o'clock, so he couldn't help laughing Said: "Let's go."

...

During the exhibition period, the nearby shopping malls and restaurants of all sizes are full without exception.Xi Yang and Zhou Tong were wearing military uniforms, so they couldn't be too ostentatious. After a short stroll, they entered an inconspicuous shop in the corner and ordered three fried crab noodles, two drawers of steamed buns filled with soup, and fried tofu and beef vermicelli soup. and some side dishes.

"Is it okay?" Xi Yang put down the menu and asked Zhou Tong who was cleaning the table.

Without even thinking about it, Zhou Tong blurted out: "Okay, I like to eat whatever you like."

As soon as he finished speaking, he blushed, and immediately changed his words: "You can eat everything...I can eat anything."

While waiting for the food to be served, Xi Yang was distracted again.Zhou Tong couldn't help asking: "Instructor, is that Mr. Tao really your former comrade-in-arms? Why did he... talk like that."

Xi Yang tore open the packing bag of the wet tissue, lowered his head and said, "Well, he's always been like this. I haven't seen each other since I left the squadron. I didn't expect him to join this company even after leaving the army."

"Will we buy their equipment?" Zhou Tong followed Xi Yang's example and wiped his hands carefully with a wet tissue.

Xi Yang seems to have guessed what he meant by asking this question: "We will publish the procurement requirements on the government website and let suppliers bid. As for whether we can win, the construction review and financial departments will communicate, and we don't need to connect."

"That's fine." Zhou Tong breathed a sigh of relief. "It's best not to meet again, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist beating him."

He looks like an adult, but speaks like a child.Xi Yang held back a smile and looked at him for a while, then suddenly called out: "Zhou Tong."

Zhou Tong was picking and picking in the chopstick holder, when he heard this, he immediately raised his head: "Huh?"

At this time, the waiter just came to the front with the tray and put the things they ordered on the table.

"Your food is ready, please use it slowly."

Fried, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the heat is just right, and the skin of the Xiaolongbao is so thin that you can see the oily soup floating inside.Zhou Tong nodded his thanks, held his chopsticks still, and was still waiting for Xi Yang to speak.

But Xi Yang didn't think about what to say, and his heart calmed down after being interrupted for a moment, so he moved the corners of his mouth and stopped talking, picked up a bun and put it into Zhou Tong's bowl: "It's nothing, hurry up and eat it while it's hot." eat."

"Oh..." Seeing that he didn't intend to continue the conversation, Zhou Tong had no choice but to give up. He blew on the steamed buns in the bowl and looked at the opposite side secretly, and soon discovered an interesting thing.

When I was in the team, the instructor always set an example, cherished the food, ate every meal cleanly, and was never picky about food. It's not forced, just like the roadside stall last time.Looking at it, Zhou Tong couldn't help guessing that if he didn't wear this military uniform, maybe he would behave differently, but he couldn't tell what the difference was. He just thought that maybe that was the real instructor, a bit mischievous and a bit Willful, a little squeamish and a little naive, will bet with others, and joke about leaders, like a child who needs to be pampered and taken care of.

Every time I eat with him, I can't help but stare at his lips, look at his little mole, the more I look at him, the more I feel that he is so gentle and beautiful, and I also eat along with it. It smells delicious and has a great appetite.

So Zhou Tong was overwhelmed unknowingly.

There are several pots of crispy rice and small tomatoes for diners to fill their stomachs while waiting for a table, and there is also a small cotton candy machine at the entrance of the restaurant.After eating, Zhou Tong rushed to pay the bill, but was kicked out by Xi Yang. He had nothing to do but stood at the door and watched the waiter make cotton candy.

The process is simple.Pour a cup of granulated sugar into it, add a little food coloring, and while the machine is humming, use a wooden stick to wrap the sugar strands round and round, and finally roll out two pink, soft and fluffy clouds. The little girl next to her handed one to Zhou Tong.

"It's free." The waiter said with a smile. "There's too much sugar, would you like some?"

Zhou Tong originally wanted one, so he quickly took it and thanked her, then turned around and held it in front of Xi Yang who had just walked out: "Instructor, here you are."

In my memory, I haven't eaten this since I graduated from elementary school.Xi Yang was stunned, and looked at Zhou Tong helplessly, Zhou Tong held his hand and let him hold it, urging him with his eyes, as if hoping that this cotton candy would make him feel better.

"Uncle, ours are the same! Is yours sweet?" The little girl bouncing up to Xi Yang with the same cotton candy, raised a hand to him. "Mom said that when you see an uncle who is a soldier, you have to salute."

The girl's mother sat and watched her laughing.Xi Yang saluted her seriously and patted her head, then looked at Zhou Tong and the marshmallow in his hand, lowered his eyelashes and took a bite, the tip of his tongue was immediately wrapped in the rich strawberry flavor.

"Very sweet, as sweet as yours."

He sipped the sugar that had melted on his lips, and said softly to Zhou Tong, "Thank you."

Zhou Tong smiled dryly, because the people in front of him made his brain so confused that he couldn't control his facial expressions, nor could he think.

The trainer actually... blushed?A face as pink as a peach blossom, no different from that ball of cotton candy.Zhou Tong's heart was pounding, his hands had nowhere to rest, so he could only rub his nose at a loss.

It's okay, no nosebleed...

...

There is a corridor on the top floor of the mall leading directly to the convention center.On the way back, passers-by cast curious glances at the young officer, seeing that he was dressed in a military uniform, but holding a bunch of pink cotton candy in his hands that only children and girls in love would beg to buy.

It was hot at noon, and the marshmallows melted quickly, and the sugar stains dripped down the wooden stick and dripped on Xi Yang's hands.Zhou Tong fumbled for a tissue in his pocket and felt his phone vibrate at the same time. He took it out and saw that it was Wen Yue who sent a message asking him when he would go back, saying that he had something urgent to tell him, and attached a dozen crying expression.

Zhou Tong quickly typed back: "Are you okay? I should go back after watching the drone put out the fire. See you in the dormitory later."

When putting away the phone, Xi Yang had already finished eating the marshmallows and was looking around for the trash can.Zhou Tong stepped forward and snatched the wooden stick from him, and replaced it with a wet tissue taken from the restaurant: "I'll just throw it away."

On such an ordinary afternoon, the crowds around are surging like shadows, and the covered bridge is like an endless tunnel of time and space, carrying thousands of misses and encounters in the world.Seeing Zhou Tong's back walking backwards, Xi Yang was in a state of confusion, and couldn't help calling out again: "Zhou Tong"

"Ah?" Zhou Tong took big strides, and walked a long way in the blink of an eye. The moment he looked back, the sun fell on him through the colored glass, rendering the olive-colored military uniform mottled and shining brightly.

"It's nothing." Xi Yang raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his eyes, then smiled softly at him: "I'll wait for you here, come back quickly."
