Heart fire

"Nonsense!" Yao Hongwei slammed the portfolio on the table. "Who gave the political review?!"

The three people in the room looked at each other, and it took a long time for someone to explain: "The land he applied for is Beilin, not Jiangzhou. I don't know the situation here..."

"Then go tell the recruitment office in Beilin, and we will be screened out!" Yao Hongwei was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

It was even more difficult for people from several lower-level agencies. "It's been booked, and it's been three days since the list was announced... Media interviews have also been broadcast. We originally wanted to cut it out, but it's not sensitive and illegal content. There are many online, so it's not easy to handle..."

"..." Yao Hongwei breathed heavily, and waved his hand irritably: "Okay, okay, I understand! You guys go first!"

The three exited the door, and with a beep, the boiling water in the teapot gradually stopped boiling.The file bag was placed in front of him, and the word "Zhou Tong" on the cover became obscure after a long time.

This child is [-]% going to the fire brigade, but isn't it enough to have two martyrs in one family?He, Yao Hongwei, said that he could not allow the tragedy to happen again, and he could not just watch the only remaining son of his old comrade-in-arms repeat his mistakes. Even if there was only a one-in-a-million possibility, he could not find any reason to have a clear conscience.

The scene of that year is still vivid.He didn't know how the 12-year-old Zhou Yi took his younger brother all the way to find the city's special services brigade. He only remembered that when he saw the two brothers, their whole bodies were filthy, and there was only half a flower roll in their pockets.

Zhou Tong cried like a little cat, pointing at the pancake stand across the street and yelling that he was hungry.Zhou Yi acted like a stern elder brother. He was not allowed to cry, and he was led to kneel outside the gate. He kept saying that he wanted to be a firefighter, and he wanted to repay Zhou Jian for saving his life. He was as determined as if there was no way out.

The two brothers were originally children from fishing villages who grew up by the river.That year, a rare flood disaster destroyed several cities and villages along the Yangtze River, and took away their close relatives.

Mom and Dad tried their best to lift the two brothers high and put them on the damaged deck.They shouted for help at the top of their lungs, but the house collapsed in the next second, and the fierce flood swept them away in an instant.

People who lived their lives in the great river finally merged with the river.

Zhou Yi protects his younger brother with his small body.When Zhou Jian carried him ashore, a lot of water had accumulated in his lungs, he had a high fever for a whole week, and almost died several times.

Zhou Yi, who was in a coma, kept calling his brother's name.Later, he took the initiative to give himself the word "Yi" and his younger brother a "Tong". It was a simple and straightforward wish. Although childhood was too bitter, life must continue, and his younger brother was still young. Zhou Yi firmly believed that There must be a way to make him forget the past.

Yao Hongwei watched as Zhou Yi gradually transformed himself into Zhou Jian's appearance.

Zhou Jian has been a bachelor for half his life.Before adopting Zhou Yi and Zhou Tong, the fire station was his home, the ladder car was his Simmons, and a bundle of hose and a bottle of air breathing could make him feel like a wife.Those new recruits who dare not try to leap and come into close contact with the fire for the first time have experienced his "brainwashing" destruction, that is, using crazy physical training and storm-like roaring reprimands, let them abandon all fear and distracting thoughts in their minds, and put their lives to death. He would rather sacrifice his own life than to ensure the safety of the people's lives and property. Serving the people and saving the people from danger is the only goal and belief.

Zhou Jian regards Zhou Yi as his own.The stubbornness and perseverance shown by this child let him see another self and the future of the firefighting industry. Therefore, his requirements for Zhou Yi in all aspects can be said to be extremely strict, and there is no need to train him. No mercy.Zhou Yi not only survived, but was also deeply influenced by him, his ideas, words and deeds were exactly the same as him.But no one thought about how heavy a burden all this was for a young man with a weak spine.

The special forces are the most dangerous policemen, and they are also the most experienced people.Although Yao Hongwei is Zhou Jian's leader, he often thinks that if Zhou Jian hadn't sacrificed back then, he would not be the deputy captain and political commissar of the provincial corps today.

The average age of firefighters is not very old, and Yao Hongwei just passed 45 last year.Now sitting in this heavy top chair to direct the supervisory battle, what I often miss is the days when I was born and died with my brothers in the city's special service brigade.

What he is most gratified and least willing to see is the scene of those passionate young people like him and Zhou Jian rushing into the fire scene without hesitation.

Especially Zhou Tong, absolutely not.

...

"Report."

Yao Hongwei's thoughts were interrupted by a loud request from outside the door.He settled down, pushed the files on the table aside, and replied in a deep voice, "Come in."

The visitor pushed the door open, walked to the desk with steady and vigorous steps, first saluted Yao Hongwei with a nearly perfect military posture and beautiful movements, and then placed the documents under his arm in front of him , Reporting to him in a straight voice: "Report to the chief, the planning and deployment plan of the intervention team has been completed, please review it."

Yao Hongwei quickly scanned the documents on the table, and then looked at the young regimental-level lieutenant colonel in front of him, with a look of approval and satisfaction on his face.

Under the brim of the hat is a youthful face with soft lines.The valiant and heroic posture, the neat military uniform, the straight spine and legs, as well as the neither humble nor overbearing in words and deeds, all vividly demonstrate the demeanor of contemporary soldiers.

The armed police fire brigade is a special type of police force, and it is also a team that has undergone the test of life and death most frequently and faced the greatest risk of sacrifice in peacetime.They belong to the Ministry of Public Security, but they strictly enforce a militarized management system. The difference between the two is that one is a national civil servant and the other is an active soldier.

The reason why this system is adopted is that it can ensure that the team is young and has sufficient physical fitness to deal with high-intensity fire fighting operations.Secondly, soldiers stress loyalty, discipline, obedience, and dedication, and are able to resolutely perform tasks without fear of danger and challenges.But everything has advantages and disadvantages. Such an active service system also leads to too fast turnover of firefighters, and it is difficult to accumulate personal fire fighting experience effectively. The average age of sacrifice is much higher than that of other types of police.

Many European and American countries fully professionalized this industry a few years ago.Their firefighters graduated from professional academies, can commute to and from get off work like ordinary people, and enjoy their leisure time. Most of them can work on the front line until they are 50 or [-] years old.They are also not afraid of life and death, and go forward bravely, but they never make fearless sacrifices, because the cost of training a qualified firefighter is very high, and their lives are above everything else.

Under different cultural backgrounds, any system will be criticized.But the beliefs of saving lives and healing the wounded are interlinked, and good experiences and methods are also worth learning from.

Since last year, China's fire brigade has shown signs of retiring from active duty and transferring to administrative staff.The young lieutenant colonel proposed the idea of ​​forming a rapid intervention team, which is to select several fighters from each team to form a rescue team. The difference is that this team is only used to search and rescue trapped firefighters, and to assist in emergency situations. They escaped from the fire.

This proposal was affirmed by Yao Hongwei.With his support, the newly established special service brigade directly under the provincial fire brigade will become the first experimental team, and the person who made the suggestion is the deputy captain and instructor of the special service brigade in front of him.

Yao Hongwei favored this young military officer who had just turned 25 years old.He was also an ordinary firefighter in the squadron. In the second year of enlisting in the army, he was admitted to the Fire Command Department of the Armed Police Academy with excellent grades. After graduation, he voluntarily applied for transfer and joined the country's first special service brigade directly under the leadership of the corps. , back on the front line.

"Do it well." Yao Hongwei never hesitated to praise promising young people, closed the document in his hand and asked him: "Did Ke Tu come?"

"Report, Team Tu is on vacation."

"Won't you go on a blind date again?" Yao Hongwei took out a cigarette, saw the corners of the young man's lips moving quietly, and replied bluntly, "I don't know much about Tu Tui's private affairs."

Being so rigid at such a young age, he doesn't even cooperate with a joke.Yao Hongwei was amused by him: "Go back and tell Team Tu that if you can't solve your personal problems this year, the organization will make arrangements for him."

"Yes. It must be conveyed accurately."

"..." Yao Hongwei couldn't laugh or cry: "It's nothing, you should go back early."

After the ceremony, he retreated, and the sound of footsteps faded away.Yao Hongwei glanced at the file bag on the table and felt a sudden headache. At the same time, he saw the signature of the document on it. Suddenly his mind moved, and he opened his mouth to stop the person who was about to open the door and leave.

"Xi Yang! Wait!"

The hand holding the doorknob stopped.Xi Yang turned around in a well-trained manner, returned to the table and stood still, waiting for the chief's instructions.

"Where did you serve as a soldier?" Yao Hongwei asked, looking at him.

"In [-], in the No. [-] Fire Squadron of Pingnan District, Chonghuai City."

Yao Hongwei nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Do you know Zhou Yi?"

Before this, Xi Yang had questions and answers, and every sentence was resounding, but now he didn't know what happened, and he hesitated.

"I know, we are comrades-in-arms..."

Yao Hongwei didn't notice, pulled out the file bag and threw it in front of him, raised his chin to show him to look: "It's just right, his brother Zhou Tong, let's arrange it in your intervention team."

The ten fingers sticking to the seam of the trousers unconsciously tightened.Xi Yang didn't go to get the file, and showed a little embarrassment: "Report to the chief, the team is full, plus I have exactly nine... There is no preparation..."

"One more can't eat a few more bags of rice in your team." Yao Hongwei frowned, and said displeasedly: "What? Do you need me to ask your Tu team for instructions?"

Xi Yang bit his lips tightly, reminded himself to be calm with the pain, and was forced to pick up the file bag that seemed to weigh a thousand catties.

"No... Please rest assured, Chief, I will arrange it."

Yao Hongwei's hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach.The Provincial Special Service Brigade is directly under his management. The environment is good and the treatment is good. They usually focus on training, and the chance of encountering serious danger is not high.This kid now feels that he is an adult. Instead of forcing him to distance himself or being assigned to a place where he can't reach him, it's better to put people under his nose and tie him by his side.The intervention team does not need to go to the front line immediately, and can continue to learn while serving.Zhou Tong is no better than Zhou Yi, he may not be able to endure this hardship, the secret service is a vanguard, maybe he will retreat in a short time.It would be an honor to call him out of the army after two years, and to go back to school for further studies.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Yao Hongwei didn't care about avoiding suspicion, and repeatedly asked: "You must guarantee his personal safety. The training is fine, and you should avoid participating in emergency rescue. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood, I must take good care of it." Xi Yang lowered his eyes, and the final word was so soft that he could hardly hear it.

...

After a series of physical examinations, reviews, and visits, Zhou Tong was officially approved to enlist in the army.On the second day after the notice came, he and Wen Yue went back to Jiangzhou to cancel the account registration, and then returned to Beilin to wait for the handover and departure.

When answering Yao Hongwei's call, I was still a little apprehensive.Unexpectedly, without waiting for him to ask, Yao Hongwei offered to say that he would find a way to arrange for him to be connected to the fire department.

"You boy! I'll settle the score with you later! Give me a good deal, and don't make it impossible for me to explain to Lao Zhou!" Yao Hongwei is well versed in the way of giving both kindness and power.

Zhou Tong thanked him, hung up the phone and asked Wen Yue, "Where do you want to go?"

Wen Yue sorted out the personal belongings that could be taken away, without raising her head, she said: "Whatever gets assigned counts, obey the arrangement."

Zhou Tong gave him a thumbs up: "Comrade Xiao Yueyue is highly enlightened, and I commend you on behalf of the party and the country."

Wen Yue expressed his dislike for his poor mouth with a blank stare, put down his things and asked, "You and big sister really broke up? It's not necessary, and it's not like going to jail."

Zhou Tong smiled, and asked inappropriately: "What are we going to eat tonight? I invite you, let's practice each other."

"Jian what Jian, there are still three months of recruits, didn't you agree to cover me?" Wen Yue held his treasure, a large box of instant coffee, reluctant to leave.

"Oh, that's right." Zhou Tong realized after he said that after enlisting in the army, he had to go through a three-month recruit training, and after being awarded the rank, he was assigned to the next company.

"Hey, can you really not bring coffee..." Wen Yue didn't care about him, and sighed one after another.

The more Zhou Tong looked at him, the more amusing he became. He stepped forward and grabbed what was in his hand and threw it aside, picked up his coat and pulled him out. "Let's go, let's treat you to a cup of freshly ground."

"Then I want something more expensive!"

"Okay. Let's go, I have to climb over the wall when I come back late."

"Can't you use the appearance attack on the dormitory aunt?"

"Okay, then wait until I go to the toilet."

"Wait for you at the stairs, hurry up, remember to wash your hands!"

"...Keep your voice down! Got it!"

...

The short college life came to an end in this way.A week later, Zhou Tong and Wen Yue bid farewell to the campus, came to the army with their bags on their backs, handed in their mobile phones and personal belongings, received a carrying bag with camouflage uniforms, and lined up with a large group of boys who were as energetic as them. Accept roll call inspection.

It was a beautiful day, with the afternoon sun making everyone sweat.Looking at the training ground in the distance, Zhou Tong saw the veterans running on it chanting slogans and singing songs, and suddenly felt that his whole body was full of inexhaustible strength, ready to move, like a newborn.

At the same time, in the dormitory building of the fire special service brigade directly under the provincial government, someone held his file and went through it countless times.Calloused fingertips caressed his face in the photo, slightly parted his thin lips, and silently read his last name and his first name.

Zhou Tong.Zhou Tong.Zhou Tong.

A drop of cold tears soaked the two printed characters.
