Near the Mid Autumn Festival, the temperature difference between day and night at the foot of Tianshan Mountain is more than 20 degrees Celsius. Early in the morning, Qin Jian, the head of the Second Military Products Department of an aviation repair factory who was nearly sixty years old, wrapped up his coat and went to the repair shop of an aviation brigade maintenance brigade in Xinjiang to sort out the maintenance tools as usual. Qin Jingjin, his daughter, followed him drowsily. Old Qin turned to his daughter and said, "The task is very urgent recently. Let's spend the Mid Autumn Festival in the army."
Standing at the foot of the towering Tianshan Mountain, a fighter plane roared up from the takeoff line and shot into the sky. Qin Jian smiled happily. "Watching my repaired fighter fly in the sky and return safely is like watching my child go on a long journey, proud and reluctant." In a twinkling of an eye, father and daughter came to Tianshan Mountain for more than four months. From the hot summer to the cold autumn, father and daughter became black and thin.
When the father and daughter of the military workers were mentioned, all the officers and soldiers in the army gave a thumbs up. In just over 4 months, they have completed more than 10 aircraft modification tasks and removed more than 10 failures. Qin Jian brought her daughter to the outfield for the first time and had her own thoughts. My daughter has grown up. It's time for her to accumulate some experience in the outfield and hone her will in a tough environment. This Mid Autumn Festival, a family of three separated two places, can not reunite. Qin Jian knew that in the era of reform and building a strong military, that was one word: doing. Sacrifice some personal "comfort index" to get the "development index" of army construction, which is worth!
Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve both ends. Because of their professional characteristics, the outfield military workers always live a life of getting together less and leaving more with their families. There is no quiet time, but someone carries a heavy burden for us. As the Mid Autumn Festival approaches, let's salute these military workers and say a deep greeting.
The daughter said——
There was a father who was a military worker. You were far away when he missed you
When I first arrived at Tianshan Mountain, the plateau scorching sun was extremely hot. On the parking apron outside the factory building, her daughter Qin Jingjin, dressed in blue overalls, squatted under the belly of the aircraft to check the refitted line, and her delicate white face was burned red.
"Put on this hat!" Father Qin Jian handed the prepared round camouflage sunshade hat, and her daughter took it and nodded happily. "From the moment I remember, my father's impression is very vague, because I heard his stories from others." Qin Jingjin said that she had seldom seen her father since she was 10 years old, and she didn't know his work until she grew up. Listening to her father's stories, she gradually became interested in aviation repair.
Once, Qin Jingjin saw his father working in the outfield for the first time when the factory organized to watch a video of learning outfield military workers. In the video, Qin Jingjin was deeply shocked by his father's hands full of frostbite. At that moment, she burst into tears.
In the cold winter of that year, my father went to Qiqihar to perform outfield support tasks. The local temperature was as low as - 30 ℃. The aircraft to be modified are waiting in the outfield to enter the factory building, but several aircraft in the factory building are undergoing regular inspection, and the site becomes tense.
In order not to affect the flight mission the next day, Qin Jian immediately decided to refit on the spot. He put the tool box on the snow, and then climbed on the plane to work hard... Three hours later, the soldiers who fought changed two or three groups, and Old Qin just couldn't get off the plane. When the refitting was completed, his hands and feet were so cold that he was carried out of the plane by the officers and soldiers.
"Why do you work so hard?" Seeing old Qin Man's hands full of chilblains, the officers and soldiers both admired and loved him. Old Qin smiled and said, "How can I rest assured that you will fly the plane to carry out the task until the modification is completed!"
There are still many military workers like Qin Jian. Whether it is high mountains and islands or the Gobi desert, they devote their blood to the cause of building a strong military. Like soldiers, they stick to their ordinary posts and guard the peace of the motherland.
Qin Jingjin said that he was born in a military industrial family and grew up in a military industrial compound. His grandparents worked in military industry all their lives, and his parents were also guardians of "war hawks". However, his understanding of military workers went through a process.
Choosing the career of military worker means dedication and dedication. One year on the eve of National Day, Qin Jingjin heard that his father was going home for the holiday. Thinking that his father was about to fulfill his family's promise to travel, he was excited for several days. Unexpectedly, on the day of Qin Jian's return trip, Qin Jian called his wife and said, "I have already returned my ticket for an emergency repair mission. You can take the children on a trip, and don't let her down."
"At that time, I didn't understand and complained about my father. What kind of task is more important than his only precious daughter?" After graduating from college, Qin Jingjin came to work in his father's unit and realized that military workers were always on standby.
The cell phone rings, and they are like bullets out of the chamber. Whether it is snow covered plateau or desert Gobi, they live in the open air and travel day and night. Wherever they need, they will fight in the first place. The mobile phone does not ring. They wait for wake-up like an alarm clock. They dare not go far when they go out. They leave their luggage in the office and leave at any time. Gradually, Qin Jingjin understood his father.
