The squad leader who lacks two teeth has no photo of his own

Author: Li Jiang anchor: 李李

I still remember that the squad leader had said before the retirement of the class that the wind on the plateau was very rude, and the rose never grew up on this land, but if you like romance, it is not unable to live here.

At that time, although I couldn't understand the words of the squad leader, I kept this sentence in my heart silently and kept looking for the romance that belonged to me.

Before the Qixi Festival this year, his wife came to my resident Ali to visit relatives from my hometown in Gansu. Although his wife was not coming to Ali for the first time, she still seemed particularly excited. On the way back to the camp, she was excited to chat with other military concubines while inhaling portable oxygen. I picked up the different romance of gathered at the plateau, and I couldn't help thinking of my recruited squad leader in my heart, thinking of his tears flowing that night.

In the autumn of 2015, I was recruited to the army's border defense, becoming an ordinary soldier of a certain group in the Southern Xinjiang Military Region. When I walked into the unit for the first time, the first thing that came into view was the 11 characters "fighting for the first -class meritorious person" on the roof of the organs. At that time, I didn’t know what these words meant. Knowing the story behind it, I just looked down at the red flowers on my chest silently, and the golden "glory" was particularly dazzling.

My recruit class is not tall. Although my skin is dark, my eyes are light, and we are not polite to train. Of course, his most significant feature is that he can see his two missing teeth as soon as he speaks. A recruit often jokes him in private, and the reason why he can't find the object is definitely because of being disliked the two missing teeth.

Until one day, a recruit in the class had a fear when facing the dilution of grenades. No matter how the squad leader enlightened, he insisted on giving up. Seeing this scene, several of our recruits thought that we would definitely go back.

On that day, the squad leader had always been strictly not mentioned during the night's name. Instead, he asked a few recruits to take out a small stool to sit together after the name. Internal affairs cabinet.

"Let me show you something." Speaking of the squad leader took out a slightly yellowing box from the internal cabinet, although it was rough, but it was particularly clean.

Just a few of our recruits, you look at me, and when I look at your curiosity, the squad leader opened a small wooden box, which contained two teeth inside.

"This is my teeth." The squad leader laughed, and we didn't know what was funny. When the monitor smiled, he laughed.

"I know you don't have two teeth without a joke in private, but you don't know why I have two teeth." After that, the squad leader closed the wooden box, took out the stool and sat opposite us, picking up, picking up, picking up, picking up, picking up. The hat worn on his head began to pinch the edge of the hat again.

It turned out that since the unit was established, the community of plateau national defense construction and long -distance maneuverability protection tasks have been held all year round. That year, after receiving the construction task, the officers and soldiers who formed less than a year immediately rushed to Kunlun Mount It was eight years, and the squad leader's teeth were dropped at that time.

"Do you believe it, I have no photos of myself so far." As a news reporter, he received a task after going up the mountain: take more photos and videos of the soldiers. The squad leader knew in his heart that in this place where three feet three feet and half of the plain were less than the plain, the soldiers not only endured the suffering of the acacia of the family, but also accompanied the landslide and dumb gun every day. The happiest thing I am the happiest is to take pictures of them. If you have the opportunity to help them send the photos home, gradually, in the face of the camera, some restrained soldiers at first like me. They all want to leave a mark here. Photos are the best way to record. However, after the task is completed, several comrades will always be fixed in the camera ...

Speaking of this, the squad leader cried. He picked up the hat in his hand and wiped a tears, and continued to choke and told us that due to the tight construction period, he delayed his vacation again and again. The only parcel, which turned out to be a breakup letter from a girlfriend.

That night, the squad leader said for a long time, and we also shed a lot of tears. We quietly watched Moonlight touching the squad leader's face through the window, and the dark skin was embedded with the light eyes.

In 2019, after the squad leader retired, I took the camera in his hand.

"Make more soldiers, write more soldiers." I keep in mind the squad leader, and take the camera to go through all corners of the camp as soon as I have time. But gradually I discovered that this one where the class had been gone because of the harsh environment. Without so many "wind meals and sleeping" and "ice climbing and snow", my lens appeared the most into soldiers driving. The new equipment, the picture of the training line and the smiling face when the training is on the spare.

On the way back to the camp, his wife and his colleagues Zhou Ling talked. Zhou Ling said that her home was in Yancheng, Jiangsu. After marrying Li Chunshan with her lover, she was reunited with her lover almost every year. She clearly remembered that when she was just married, she came to the team to visit her relative The plane can only reach Lhasa for several days. When the flight is tense, you have to take a long -distance bus for more than 20 hours to rush to Ali. One year, Ali Turbuk had fallen into heavy snow and the only bus leading to the lover's residence was canceled. She was trapped in a bus station for several days. Essence Speaking of which, Zhou Ling's nose was sour red. Seeing this scene, his wife hurriedly handed the paper towels. After receiving, Zhou Ling wiped a tears and quickly laughed and said, "Now the plateau visiting relatives, no longer have to worry about these. From Jiangsu Yancheng to Ali, Tibet, nearly 5,000 kilometers, you can fly throughout the process, and you can reach the resident to reunite with your husband in less than 2 days. "

"Now we can also enjoy micro -pressure oxygen therapy like a plain area!" The wife also said. She has lived in a bustling city since she was a child. In the impression of not being full of oxygen all year round. I did not expect to know after seeing and experienced myself, and today's border guards are really happy.

Along the way, you talked and laughed in a word of words. At that moment, I finally understood the squad leader's words that the plateau was really no longer a plateau that was not born, and flowers have been blooming here.
