Write in front There are many special customs in a brigade of the 77th group army garrison on the snowy plateau. These barracks customs, which originated and continued in the plateau troops, are like "miniature scenes" depicting the life of grass-roots military brigades, or "silhouettes" that freeze the style of plateau soldiers frame by frame, all telling the "wind, flowers, snow and moon" and the feelings of border guards who belong to this hot land alone. In early spring, journalists interviewed by the brigade picked up several representative customs for readers. As the sun sets, when the golden sun falls on the sentry, his figure will freeze into a beautiful image together with the distant snow mountain. Fu Yushe In the border barracks, whenever officers and soldiers receive home specialties from their relatives, they will take the initiative to share them with their comrades in arms—— Hometown flavor in "hundred family banquet" Burn oil over medium heat, stir fry onion, ginger and garlic to taste, put it into the "secret chili sauce" and burst into fragrance, then turn to low heat to stew and collect juice... Uncover the lid of the pot, rise and disperse along the stove with the water mist, and a fragrant Dongpo elbow was brought to the table of the ninth company of a brigade of the 77th group army. In charge of the main course is Yi Beichen, a top soldier from Meishan, Sichuan. He told reporters that Dongpo elbow is a famous dish in his hometown, and the "secret spicy sauce" he just used was made and sent by his father. "After the recruits got off the company, they ate so many" hundred family banquets ". This time, it's finally my turn to show my hand!" Yi Beichen's "hundred family banquets" is a unique custom of the brigade. When it comes to the birthday of officers and soldiers or the Spring Festival, most of their relatives in the mainland send some hometown specialties to solve the "nostalgic greed" of border guards. Therefore, whenever officers and soldiers receive special products from their hometown, or ask the cooking team to do it for them, or take the initiative to share the "hometown flavor" with their comrades in arms. In this way, the custom of "hundred family banquets" has continued. This weekend before the Lantern Festival, there were more express deliveries to the military camp than in the past. Only in the ninth company, six officers and soldiers received packages from their hometown. Among them, there is a large carton sent to sergeant Chen Guodong from Shaoshan, Hunan. Open the outer package, take out an oil paper bag and rush into the cooking class. Chen Guodong can't wait to taste the "hometown flavor" he hasn't seen for a long time. Different from Yi Beichen, if the Dongpo elbow with complex process just now is a "meticulous painting", then what Chen Guodong brings is a "freehand brushwork" - fire, wide oil, spreading materials and stir frying. In just three or five minutes, a stir fried bacon is fresh out of the pot. On the eve of the Lantern Festival, five family members of the team arrived at the camp of the brigade at the same time. The officers and soldiers held a grand "reception banquet" for them with drinks as wine. Photographed by Yue lianlin "We xiangyazi like to eat wax in spring. For seven years as a soldier, our family will send bacon every spring." When he picked up a piece of bacon and sent it to the entrance, Chen Guodong seemed to forget the memory of his hometown aroused by taste. At this time, he was in a plateau military camp nearly 4000 kilometers away from his home, and his local accent jumped out of his speech unconsciously. Authentic Dongpo elbows, sauteed bacon with exquisite materials and refreshing and delicious qingtuan... On this ordinary weekend night, a "hundred family banquet" carrying rural flavor and nostalgia was placed on the table of plateau soldiers. "It's still the old rule to talk to your family on the phone and say peace before dinner." With the greeting of company commander Jia Hui, northeast dialect, Guanzhong accent, Sichuan Chongqing tune and Wunong soft language came into battle, mixed with Tibetan and Uyghur. Suddenly, local dialects from different regions meet in this place called "China border". "Well, let's have dinner." With a grin facing the mobile phone screen, Jia Hui, speaking the authentic Henan dialect, once again said what he most often said to his mother, "don't worry, my son is here!" In this brigade, it is a great event for the military sister-in-law to come to the team. Please see—— The most considerate care for Junsao "Boss, you still have time to 'embroider'? Don't hurry up and start!" After lunch, Si Chaochao, the fourth level Sergeant chief of a brigade of the 77th group army, turned on the tap and was just about to wash the dishes when he was "driven" out of the restaurant by company commander Li Jinbao to take an official car sent by the brigade authority. Before leaving, Li Jinbao took out a bunch of flowers and handed them to Si Chaochao: "it's hard to buy these flowers in winter. I ordered them online a week in advance. I know you can't think of these, even if I sent them to you for the company!" The so-called "fear of being close to family" has crossed mountains and mountains all the way. The car is getting closer and closer to the airport, and Si Chaochao's mood is becoming more and more uneasy. After a short wait, the flight he expected finally landed smoothly - after nearly 10 months of separation and more than 4000 kilometers, his wife Wang Huijun finally crossed the crowd and appeared in front of him. "You also learn to be romantic. Do you know how to send flowers?" "Er... The company commander gave it to you. No, the company gave it to me and asked me to give it to you." Although his mouth was clumsy, Si Chaochao, who "spoiled his wife", expressed his love in his own way: he took large and small bags from his wife, carried them on his back, and freed his left hand to tightly hold his wife's hand in the palm of his hand. Returning to the car, the driver has placed the "military sister-in-law team suit" such as oxygen bag, oximeter, Rhodiola oral liquid and plateau skin cream on the seat in advance - for fear of altitude sickness, the brigade has specially prepared a complete set of medical materials for each military sister-in-law who comes to visit relatives. Whenever the military sister-in-law comes to the team, the brigade organ will specially shoot "family photos" for them as a souvenir. The picture shows a publicity officer taking a group photo for the fourth Sergeant Chen Peng's family. Photographed by Du Qiqi In this border camp, the arrival of the military sister-in-law can be described as a major event: the brigade is a mobile defense force. Many officers and soldiers have previously settled in the mainland, so more than 80% of the married soldiers live in separate lives. A few years ago, due to the imperfect supporting facilities in the unit camp and the difficult conditions in the camp, although they suffered from lovesickness, few family members came to visit their relatives. Whenever a military sister-in-law comes, the army is like a festival and is guaranteed with the highest standard. Back to the camp, just in time for dinner. According to the practice of "the military sister-in-law comes to the team to celebrate the festival", the company advances the dinner on Friday to that night. "Welcome your sister-in-law to the team! I hope your sister-in-law will come often!" Amid the cheers of the soldiers, Wang Huijun was surrounded to the table. "Get in the car, dumplings, get out of the car, and when you get to the camp, you'll get to your own home. If you have any difficulties, please tell me at any time!" Then Zhao Xufeng, the camp instructor, brought a bowl of fragrant Yangchun noodles to Wang Huijun. Then, he handed over a red envelope with the words "Junsao gift bag" on the cover, "there are contact cards of our health company, repair team, express delivery point and life supermarket. You can call anytime you need to provide door-to-door service. In addition, there are fitness card and book borrowing card. Just swipe the card..." After dinner, Si Chaochao took his wife to the family area - after completing the normal combat readiness training, the officers and soldiers from the family can choose to take a rest in rotation and return to the apartment to accompany their relatives during the rest time. "Knowing that you came to the team, LIANLI adjusted my duty this month and granted me a holiday for going out these weekends. I'll accompany you to the surrounding scenic spots." Si Chaochao smiled simply and honestly. Take out the key and open the door of the temporary family member's house. Although this is only a temporary residence, the conditions are no worse than Wang Huijun's residence in his hometown: wireless network, smart TV, water heater, induction cooker, wall mounted heating... The apartment with bright and clean windows and all kinds of household appliances. The setting sun slanted to the west, and lights came out of the windows of each family, warming the whole family area. Looking at the snow capped mountains hidden in the sunset, Wang Huijun understood the unique romance of soldiers. She said to her husband, "tell you something, I decided to visit my relatives more in the future." My plateau "meeting ceremony" ■ private Li Jinlong of a brigade of the 77th group army In the clear blue sky, there are eagles flying over the top of snow capped mountains from time to time... I am no stranger to the plateau scenery in front of me. As I liked reading travel magazines when I was a student, I was full of longing for the magical land of the Tibetan Plateau. Four years ago, in my first summer vacation after entering university, I completed my first trip to Tibet with the saved living expenses. Subsequently, I returned to the plateau three times, leaving footprints among many snow mountains and glaciers. Out of love for the plateau, when I signed up for the army last year, I filled in "Tibet" in the column of service intention. Fortunately, my dream came true. After the training of recruits in the mainland, at the beginning of this spring, I entered this plateau military camp with an altitude of nearly 4000 meters. It's easy in the early days. For fear of acute altitude sickness, according to the Convention, during the half month adjustment period just on the plateau, new soldiers are not allowed to participate in strenuous exercise except for taking part in adaptive training step by step. In half a month, we have learned more about the plateau, and a new test will come as scheduled. Whenever new recruits first go to the plateau, the brigade will organize them to carry out adaptability training for half a month. 30 km mountain marching and training is an essential subject. The picture shows the new soldiers marching on foot on a plateau 4000 meters above sea level. Photographed by Jia Wenxin "I've been on the plateau for so long. Let's see its harshness tomorrow." At the end of the adjustment period, the company commander announced an "old rule": according to the Convention, at the end of the adaptability training, the recruits should take a 30 kilometer mountain March as a "meeting ceremony" on the plateau. "Stick to the end, even if you have a firm foothold on the plateau!" The company commander cheered loudly for us. "It's only 30 kilometers. I passed it when I was in the recruit company." I murmured in my heart. Wearing steel helmets, holding rifles, wearing combat equipment and wearing combat boots... After departure, we were particularly excited and sang passionate war songs. My comrades in arms and I left our footprints in the gullies of the plateau and mountains. After 3 kilometers, the scenery around me is pleasant and I look relaxed; When I reached 10km, I was surrounded by a vast expanse of white. Although I was a little tired, it was not a big problem... However, when I was halfway through the trip, I gradually felt something different: Why are my equipment getting heavier and heavier? Why are the steps under your feet getting heavier and heavier? Why is my mouth open and breathing heavily, but my lungs are like a leaky "broken bellows", which makes my heart flustered? "How about Gao (yuan)? It's like this when I first went to the plateau!" The monitor came to encourage me, "hold on, veterans come like this." Panting, dry mouth, splitting headache, weakness of limbs... During the subsequent half March, I was tortured by altitude sickness. In addition to looking forward to the early end of the training, I didn't care to enjoy any scenery along the way. Like many new comrades in arms, I was held by several veterans and passed the finish line in confusion. At that moment, I finally understood the meaning of this "meeting ceremony": for ordinary people, the plateau shows people with magnificence, while for soldiers, the plateau often shows the other side of harshness. If a soldier wants to conquer the harsh plateau environment through scientific training, he must improve his ability to adapt to the harsh plateau environment.
