At night, I lie in bed, brewing drowsiness. The sound of the wind flipping the curtains and the gradually rising snoring further highlighted the tranquility of the night in the camp. I remember the coughing sounds of Yang Lianjing, the first level sergeant and former squad leader. Before retiring, Captain Yang slept under my bunk. Many nights, accompanied by the continuous snoring indoors, I often hear his gentle cough and the sound of his pen tip rubbing against paper while feeling drowsy. The white light of the desk lamp slightly reflected on the desktop, and I knew that Class Leader Yang was staying up late writing notes again. In the years since I came to the army, I have become accustomed to listening to the snoring of my comrades and watching the back of Captain Yang lying at his desk late at night. I first met Captain Yang when I was a new recruit and just joined the company. In the future, we will be comrades in the same class. Be generous and don't be shy. Let me introduce myself to everyone. "Yang's Mandarin is not standard, with a strong Hebei accent. I wasn't shy at that time, I just stared at the "four turns" on the leader's badge, so nervous that I couldn't speak. From then on, I slept on the top bunk of this veteran. Before long, I was harshly criticized by Captain Yang. During a repair training, I lost my mind and was noticed by Captain Yang. Afterwards, he asked me if I understood, but I stuttered and couldn't explain it clearly. The strict squad leader Yang got angry with me for the first time: 'If the training is not attentive and focused, how can the troops fight! What are you doing here?' I was speechless, buried my head, ashamed, and determined not to make such mistakes again in the future. During a high-altitude vehicle retraining, Captain Yang took me to be responsible for maintenance and support. As the convoy drove through a canyon, the already clear sky was filled with white mist. Suddenly, a striking orange appeared in the field of vision. Upon closer inspection, it is a triangular pyramid with a transport vehicle stuck in the low-lying area ahead. "Quick, take the tool box, take two more shovel, and let's go!" Monitor Yang said as he pushed the door open, and I followed him. The tire got stuck in the mud, and Captain Yang decided to let me try repairing it. I opened the hood of the car, used a low-pressure oil pump to expel the air, sat in the driver's seat, and started the ignition. The car is moving! "Just as I was excitedly thinking that the problem had been solved, the transport vehicle seemed like a drowning person, only flapping a few times but still stuck in place. The strong wind swept through the snow and hail, hitting the car with a crackling sound. I was at a loss and felt a sense of retreat: 'It's really a leak in the house that has been raining all night. Captain, should we wait for the hail to stop before repairing it?' 'If we go to the battlefield, will the enemy wait for the hail to finish before attacking?' Captain Yang began to check the engine and then found the filter wrench from the back compartment. Suddenly, he slipped and fell, and I hurriedly went to help him. Hurry up, don't chatter. "As he spoke, Captain Yang had already gotten up, his clothes covered in mud. I am assisting Captain Yang in the maintenance work nearby. Quickly check the oil-water separator and oil pipe head, "I took the wrench and began to disassemble. My frozen hands were unresponsive, and frost had formed on the wrench. I tried several times but it still slipped. Come on, you can do it! "Captain Yang's encouraging voice sounded in his ear. He is bowing his body, shielding me from hail. I opened the separator and after inspection, I did not find any problems. I kept thinking, 'Got it! It's the diesel filter that's malfunctioning.' I disassembled the filter and indeed found a blockage. I removed and cleaned the impurities adsorbed inside, and then installed it properly. I succeeded! "I felt relieved. Captain Yang smiled and patted my shoulder. Having been with Yang Ban for a long time, I often see him holding a pink water cup, which seems out of place for his age and image. Captain Yang saw my confusion and explained, "You see, this was my daughter who stuffed it into my bag when I went to the plateau. It warms my heart, right?" Captain Yang smiled at the corners of his eyes and continued, "She will take the college entrance examination next year, and I can go back to accompany her." At that moment, I was slightly stunned and calculated in my heart that the time I spent with him was longer than the time he spent with his daughter in 18 years. Good boy, he is needed by his wife and children at home, but in the army, he must be someone who is needed by the organization This is what Captain Yang often says to me. Starting from sleeping on his upper bunk, from a new recruit to a soldier, my every word and action was pulled and driven by this veteran. I don't know when it started, but when faced with difficult things, I would ask myself in my heart, 'What would Captain Yang do if he were here?' So through continuous exploration, I have found my own direction. Now that Captain Yang has retired for nearly a year, I often miss him and want to chat with him. On a day off, I dialed his phone and heard a familiar voice in my ear: "What's the problem that's bothering you again?" Upon learning that I had nothing urgent to attend to, he quickly hung up the phone and said, "I still need to go help. The village road was flooded a while ago. You need to keep going..." At that moment, I remembered Captain Yang's WeChat name, "Mission on the Shoulder. Captain Yang's retirement life is still fulfilling and busy, and his daughter has also been admitted to the military academy as she wished, but he did not widely publicize these on his WeChat Moments. But I know that squad leader Yang is used to striving. Wherever he goes, he always practices the slogan of the army: "One minute on duty, shining for sixty seconds." (Xinhua News Agency)
