"Give me your lighter, and I'll light one too. I haven't smoked in many days. I'm really not used to not lighting up a cigarette in such a quiet place as now."

Gao Fei did not hand his scattered lighter to the deputy chief of staff. He lit the lighter the same way he lit his cigarette before, and the deputy chief of staff of the Corps lit the cigarette.

"What do you use this for?"

The chief of staff looked at the lighter in Gao Fei's hand and was a little surprised.

"It's soaked in water and damp. It can't make a fire, so I can only use it like this." Gao Fei said and put the lighter together again.

The deputy chief of staff took a deep puff. He seemed to enjoy it. It seemed that he had not smoked for a long time. After one puff, he puffed out a circle. Then he picked up the cigarette case and looked at it close to his eyes.

.

"Ruanyun, what a good smoke. Gao Fei, I have to say something to you now. You said you are a new recruit and only have a small allowance a month. Can you afford such a good smoke? You can't

Because I have a grandfather who is the political commissar of the base, I started to show off like this!"

"My friend left this to me. Of course I can't bear to buy such good cigarettes myself, let alone because of political commissar Gao..." Gao Fei didn't finish his words, and he didn't say grandpa, either.

He was replaced by a high political commissar. It seems that what he said the moment he was rescued from the water was true. From that moment on, there was no relationship between them.

The deputy chief of staff felt that Gao Fei seemed very depressed now. He thought for a while and then said: "Gao Fei, no matter what, Political Commissar Gao is also your grandfather. If you are unwilling to admit it, there is no way to change your blood relationship."

!”

Gao Fei then said: "I would rather not have that blood relationship. If it weren't for that level of relationship, it would be impossible for my friends to alienate me."

When the deputy chief of staff heard this, he seemed to hear a story in it, so he said again: "You just said these were left by your friends. Before, you said you had no friends. What do you think of this?

There are contradictions in both the front and the back, and I seem to be confused about what you are saying!"

Gao Fei didn't want to explain, so he added: "In the past few days, the instructor of our company who rarely had contact with us has died. A friend of my recruit company who was not a friend also died in order to save me, and I have always

My best friend has alienated me because of my identity. I don’t understand, let alone understand that now I don’t have a single friend in my unit, and the remaining people can only be regarded as comrades-in-arms!”

The deputy chief of staff flicked the cigarette butt, and it flew far away, until it flew into the water under the embankment, and was extinguished by the endless flow of the river. He said: "Gao Fei, I can understand your feelings. I have been with you before.

I feel the same way now. My brother has been sacrificed and my good friend has been abandoned. I was once as confused and scared as you are now, but in the end, I persisted. Do you know why?"

Gao Fei shook his head and said he didn't want to guess!

The deputy chief of staff took off the hat on his head. He raised the front of the hat to Gao Fei and said, "Because we have the national emblem on our heads and our mission on our shoulders. We are soldiers. Soldiers should not make mistakes for trivial matters."

This is the helplessness of our soldiers to deal with the important affairs of the country. We must persist in our mission and complete our mission."

Gao Fei didn't know what to say. Indeed, the deputy chief of staff was right. He was now a soldier with a major mission on his shoulders.

Gao Fei figured it out, and then he said to the Deputy Chief of Staff: "Chief of Staff, you didn't come here just to comfort me!"

The chief of staff gave Gao Fei a roll of his eyes and said: "To comfort you, I am a smoker. I happened to see someone smoking here, so I thought about coming over and having a smoke. I never thought it would be your kid here!"

After hearing this, Gao Fei stuffed all the remaining cigarettes into the deputy chief of staff's hand and said, "Then you can smoke them all. Anyway, it doesn't matter to me!"

The chief of staff took the cigarette, put it in his pocket without politeness, pointed at Gao Fei with a smile, and said: "Okay, now you are on the right track, but I told you in advance.

Clearly, this half pack of cigarettes is not considered a bribe!"

These words left Gao Fei speechless, thinking to himself, even if I bribe you, I don't have to give you only half a pack of cigarettes.

Gao Fei handed the plastic bag he used to pack cigarettes to the deputy chief of staff, and said: "Here is this for you too. In this disaster area, it is easy to get soaked in water. This room was given to me by my friend. He

It has been well preserved, and I think it cannot be wasted once it is in your hands."

The deputy chief of staff took the plastic bag, took the cigarette out of his pocket, put it into the plastic bag, smashed the plastic bag in time, and then put it back into his pocket.

Gao Fei took out the lighter he had assembled and handed it to the deputy chief of staff.

The deputy chief of staff looked down at the lighter handed over by Gao Fei and said, "You really think I'm here to beg for money from you. Okay, you shabby guy, I don't want it anymore. I'll give you one later. Give it to me."

Your waterproof one will definitely be useful. I’m leaving and there are still many things waiting for me, so don’t give it away!”

As he spoke, the deputy chief of staff waved back and strode away. After walking for some distance, he said to Gao Fei without looking back: "Gao Fei, you have to remember, as you said in the beginning

In other words, comrades are the most important thing around our soldiers, you will slowly realize it!"

Gao Fei looked into the distance again. He was thinking about the relationship between his comrades and friends, but it was like he had turned into a dead end and he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought.

"Gao Fei, Gao Fei, come back..."

While Gao Fei was meditating on these issues, squad leader Wang Gang called to him from a distance. Gao Fei looked back, then got up and walked back.

It turns out that the area where the reconnaissance company is located is already distributing food, and this time they are finally being given standard food.

Compressed biscuits for one person and a bottle of water are really standard equipment. They are standard equipment for field trips, but they are not as convenient as they are convenient.

After Gao Fei came back, he consciously sat in a corner alone. Now it was not others who were rejecting him, but him, who thought he could not integrate with others.

"Well, Mazi, come and sing a song for everyone. Their reconnaissance company can't be as lifeless as other units. Come on, sing your best song." Chen Chaolin also looked at this.

With so much lifelessness, Xu Heizi, the deputy company commander, pointed at the ninth squad leader and asked him to sing a song.

"Okay!" The ninth squad leader walked to the middle without any timidity.
