It was a sunny afternoon, I was training with my comrades on the playground, and suddenly, Xiao Li hurriedly ran over, with an anxious face. As soon as I saw it, I had a number in my heart, and something must have happened.
"Lao Chen, can you lend me some money?" Xiao Li gasped and looked embarrassed.
Without saying a word, I took out the allowance I had just received from my pocket and handed it to him: "How much?"
Xiao Li said hesitantly: "Five thousand." ”
My eyes widened, five thousand was not a small number, but I agreed without hesitation. After all, comrades-in-arms should support each other.
A few days later, I was promoted to platoon commander because of my outstanding performance. Everyone came to congratulate me, but Xiao Li's face was gloomy. I didn't care, I just thought he was in a bad mood.
However, on the third day after I was promoted, the instructor suddenly talked to me with a serious face: "Lao Chen, someone reported that you took money from soldiers without permission, what's going on?"
I was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, I hurriedly explained: "Instructor, this is definitely a misunderstanding, when did I receive the soldiers' belongings?"
The investigation began, and I actively cooperated, but my heart was very angry. Who is so immoral that he stabbed me in the back?
It didn't take long for the truth to be revealed. It turned out to be Xiao Li's complaint, and he actually took the money I lent him and framed me for accepting bribes.
I was furious and found Xiao Li and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
Xiao Li lowered his head, not daring to look at me: "Lao Chen, I'm sorry, I was fascinated for a while, thinking that this would make you lose the opportunity to be promoted." ”
I glared at him, speechless. The instructor came over and patted me on the shoulder: "Old Chen, don't be angry. We'll do it fairly. ”
In the end, Xiao Li was dealt with seriously, and I was awarded a third-class merit for my openness and selflessness in this matter.
It's gone, but there's always a lump in my heart. Why did Xiao Li do this? Aren't we comrades-in-arms? Could it be that he is jealous just because I did it?
I couldn't figure it out, until one day, I was chatting with the instructor, and he told me, "Lao Chen, Xiao Li did this because he had an accident at home and needed money urgently." He knows that you are a good person and will definitely lend it to him. But he doesn't want to owe you a favor, that's why he came up with such a stupid trick. ”
I was stunned, it turned out that Xiao Li also had his difficulties. I decided to talk to him and tell him that there is no such thing as a debt or a favor between comrades-in-arms.
That night, Xiao Li and I walked on the playground and talked heart-to-heart. The moonlight shines on us, reflecting two honest hearts.
"Lao Chen, I really don't know how to thank you. Xiao Li said ashamedly.
I patted him on the shoulder: "It's all comrades-in-arms, why are you talking about this?" In the future, if there are any difficulties, we will face them together. ”
Since then, our relationship has deepened. We train together, fight together, and face life's difficulties together. During the war-torn years, we forged a deep friendship.
This is my story, a story of comrades-in-arms, trust, and misunderstanding. It made me understand that in the face of difficulties, only by uniting can we overcome everything.
As the days passed, the atmosphere in our platoon gradually became harmonious. Xiao Li seems to have learned a lesson from that incident, and he has become more mature and knows how to cherish the friendship between his comrades. We are still fighting side by side, and we have been through many difficult moments together.
One day, we received an urgent task to go to the border on a reconnaissance mission. Before leaving, I deliberately found Xiao Li and said to him: "This mission is very important, we must be cautious and take care of each other." ”
Xiao Li nodded firmly: "Lao Chen, don't worry, I will definitely go all out." ”
When we got to the border, we quickly launched reconnaissance. During a night operation, we were unexpectedly ambushed by the enemy. In the rain of bullets, Xiao Li and I were separated. I anxiously searched for him, with only one thought in my heart: I must protect my comrades.
At this moment, I heard Xiao Li's shout: "Old Chen, be careful!"
I turned my head to see Xiao Li pounce on a grenade that was about to detonate, trying to cover me with his body. My eyes widened and I flew over and pinned him down.
With a bang, the grenade exploded not far from us. Xiao Li and I were lying on the ground, disgraced, but we narrowly escaped.
"Are you crazy, why are you doing this?" I asked Xiao Li breathlessly.
He wiped the dust off his face and said with a smile: "Lao Chen, we are comrades-in-arms, what is this sacrifice." ”
I was so moved that I couldn't speak, so I could only hug him tightly. At that moment, it was as if we were one, facing life and death together.
After the mission, we returned to the camp without any problems. When the instructor heard about our deeds, he said excitedly: "You are all good, you have given your lives for your comrades, and you must protect yourself." ”
That incident gave us a deeper understanding of the precious friendship between comrades-in-arms. We are no longer fighting for the mission, but for each other, for that deep affection.
Since then, we've fought countless times together, each time standing side by side. In the midst of war, we have continued to grow and gain friendships.
Until the day of retirement, we stood on the playground, looking at the familiar barracks, and our hearts were full of emotion. Xiao Li said to me: "Lao Chen, thank you, it was you who made me understand what true comradeship-in-arms is. ”
I smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Comrade-in-arms, say thank you and see him outside." Wherever we go in the future, we are all brothers. ”
We shook hands tightly, and at that moment, we seemed to see those days of fighting side by side, and the deep friendships that were condensed in the flames of war were forever engraved in our hearts.
This is our story, a story of comradeship, trust, and life and death. It makes us understand that in the war-torn years, there is an emotion that is more important than life.
After retiring, our lives each went in a different direction. I returned to my hometown and started a dull farming life, while Xiao Li chose to stay in the city and seek an errand. Despite the different rhythms of life, we still keep in touch, and that deep comradeship, like old wine, gets mellower and mellower the longer it lasts.
One weekend, I was working in the fields when I suddenly received a call from Xiao Li: "Lao Chen, I have good news, and I have come to tell you." ”
I stopped what I was doing and smiled, "What's the good news?" ”
"I got a job as a security guard for a large business. Xiao Li's tone was full of pride.
I was happy for him: "Congratulations, Xiao Li! ”
"yes, I think so too. Old Chen, do you think we should find a time to get together?" Xiao Li suggested.
I agreed without hesitation: "Good idea, we haven't been together for a long time, it's time to have a good talk." ”
The appointed day soon came, and Xiao Li and I met at a small restaurant. After a long absence, we talked happily and recalled the bits and pieces of the army back then, and couldn't help but feel emotional.
While they were chatting, the restaurant owner suddenly came over and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, you two, we're going to close here." ”
I looked at my watch and was surprised, "So fast? ”
Xiao Li also seemed unsatisfied: "Yes, I didn't expect so many years to pass in a blink of an eye." ”
At checkout, I rushed to pay. Xiao Li's eyes widened: "Lao Chen, what are you doing here?" ”
I smiled and waved my hand: "You're welcome, between our comrades-in-arms, what else do you and me." ”
Xiao Li patted me on the shoulder with emotion: "Then it's better to be respectful, I'll invite you next time." ”
That night, we walked the streets, chatting about each other's lives, and we were filled with emotion. Although time flies, our comradeship is still the same.
Soon after, I learned that Xiao Li had performed well at work and was promoted to security captain. I'm happy for him, and I'm proud of my comrades.
One holiday, Xiao Li invited me to visit his city. I readily agreed, thinking to myself that I would have to take a good look at where he worked this time.
Under Xiao Li's guidance, I visited his company and got to know his colleagues. When they heard that Xiao Li used to be a soldier, they all respected him.
That night, Xiao Li invited me to dinner, and we talked about the past again. After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Li suddenly said to me: "Old Chen, do you know? What I miss most now is the days when I was in the army. ”
I smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "yes, it was a hard time, but it was full of brotherhood. ”
We looked at each other and smiled, and at that moment, it was as if we had returned to that war-torn era, and we fought side by side, facing life and death together.
This is our story, a story of camaraderie, trust, and growth. It makes us understand that no matter how the years change, that deep emotion is always worth cherishing in our hearts.
Time passed like flowing water, and Xiao Li's and I lives were busy and fulfilling. Although we are separated by two places, our hearts are always connected. Xiao Li is getting better and better in the position of security captain, and his ability and sense of responsibility have been recognized by the company. And I also found my own value and fun in the farmland of my hometown.
One weekend, I was working in the fields when I suddenly received a call from Xiao Li: "Lao Chen, I have an idea and want to discuss it with you." ”
I put down the hoe in my hand and said with a smile, "You say, I'll listen." ”
"I want to take advantage of the vacation to go back to my hometown and help you do some farm work by the way, how about it?" Xiao Li's voice revealed a hint of anticipation.
I happily agreed: "That's great, I'm short of a helper." When are you coming back?"
"Next Saturday, I'll take an early leave of absence. Xiao Li said.
I smiled even more happily: "Okay, then I'll prepare in advance, let's get together." ”
In the following days, I was busy preparing for Xiao Li's arrival. I cleaned up my house and prepared a hearty meal.
On Saturday, Xiao Li arrived as promised. As soon as we met, he gave me a big hug: "Lao Chen, long time no see, you seem to be in good spirits." ”
I patted him on the shoulder: "Thanks to you, I'm doing well now." ”
We chatted and worked at the same time, although Xiao Li had not been on the ground for many years, his movements were still proficient. We chatted about the past, sighed at the passage of time, and before we knew it, the day had passed.
In the evening, we had a great dinner together. Xiao Li sighed: "Lao Chen, your craftsmanship is getting better and better. ”
I replied with a smile: "You taught this, I remember that when I was in the army, you were our culinary leader." ”
Xiao Li also smiled: "Yes, although the days were hard at that time, we all survived." ”
After dinner, we sat in the courtyard and watched the sky full of stars. Xiao Li suddenly said: "Lao Chen, do you know? What I miss most now is the days when I was in the army. ”
I nodded: "yes, it was a difficult time, but it was full of brotherhood. ”
We looked at each other and smiled, and at that moment, it was as if we had returned to that war-torn era, and we fought side by side, facing life and death together.
This is our story, a story of camaraderie, trust, and growth. It makes us understand that no matter how the years change, that deep emotion is always worth cherishing in our hearts.
