The habits of eight companies on Nanjing Road.

In April 2009, the new soldier Lu Xiaohui was assigned to the Eighth Company, and his father came to see him in the team. In just two days, Xiao Lu's father even said three "unexpected": having dinner with his son, seeing his son pick up the rice that fell on the table and eat it, sighing "unexpected"; My son and I went shopping and wanted to buy him some snacks. The son said that "the company food is quite good, no need", which is also an "unexpected"; I want to buy a new shirt for my son. The son waved his hand again and again and said, "The troops have arrived, no need", which is another "unexpected".

High temperature and summer heat, open up the field construction industry.

"Before joining the army, he was not like this. He often goes to karaoke bars, dance halls and hotels with some classmates and friends. Sometimes he spends thousands of dollars without blinking. My son has only been in the company for a few days, as if he were a different person. Eight companies really have special functions. " Xiao Lu's father could not restrain his excitement and thanked the company.

"The feelings like Xiao Lu's father are basically shared by the parents of every soldier." Zhang Jingdong, political commissar of the Communist Youth League, told reporters that superior living conditions can easily make young soldiers breed some bad habits before enlisting. However, as long as the soldiers enter the Balianmen, they will become "standard" Balianren in a few days: they used to spend a lot of money and developed the habit of "abacus" in consumption; Those who don't know how to honor their parents have become good sons who know their father and love their mother. Originally idle and lazy, they became diligent and diligent; What was originally free and rambling and didn't listen to hello has become a model of obeying the rules and discipline!

The change stems from the company's insistence on integrating the tradition of hard work into daily work and life. For a long time, the officers and men of the Eighth Company insisted on the "four good practices" of self-repair for long hair, torn clothes, mended shoes and broken production equipment. They have developed the "five good habits" of "spending a little on daily consumption, spending a little on cultural studies, giving a little to parents, hoping to donate a little to the project and keeping a little for themselves", which symbolizes that Ba Lian has been passed down to the 34th generation of thrifty traditional barber shops. The newspaper rack of the class platoon, the blackboard of the company and the simple training equipment all insist on doing it yourself, and don't spend a penny where you can spend no money.

Two years ago, the company installed a solar water heater. When the shower head is turned on, cold water is discharged first. In order not to waste these cold water, the company specially put a water-saving bucket under each nozzle, and used the next water to wash the mop and flush the toilet.

In Balian, the frugal atmosphere is very strong, and the words "Time is money, please cherish every minute" are printed next to the telephone booth of the company. On the computer printer, there is a note saying, "Everyone saves a piece of paper and hopes that primary school students will have more exercise books". On the wall of the dining hall, there are epigrams such as "If you want to know the Chinese food on the plate, every grain is hard". There are more than 20 warnings like this in the company, which makes the spirit of hard struggle change from intangible to tangible, and the behavior of soldiers changes from passive to conscious in a subtle way.

Chen Xin, a college recruit, works in an enterprise with a monthly salary of more than 4,000 yuan. Although he earns a lot of money, he is a typical "moonlight family". Sometimes the salary is not enough, and he also reaches out to his parents. He joined the army at the end of last year. The mother was worried that her son's pocket money of more than 300 yuan per month in Shanghai was not enough, so she specially set up a bank card for him and sent him money regularly.

After Chen Xin came to Haoba Company, he had a new understanding of spending money and saving money. The company cadres and comrades around him can tell many good traditions of the company's thrift. Huang Sen, the instructor, impressed him even more: in the early days of liberation, 90% of the monthly salary and allowance of company officers and soldiers were deposited in the bank, with an average of 50 cents per person per month.

The instructor's words made Chen Xin feel ashamed: his comrades-in-arms had savings, but he was extravagant and asked his family to remit money to him. This is very wrong. Back in class, he made a plan for his pocket money of 302 yuan: every month in 30 yuan, who buys daily necessities, 27 yuan, who is interested in studying books and periodicals, 30 yuan calling the phone card, the rest 15 yuan keeping for other pocket money, and the rest 200 yuan keeping in the bank.

After making up his mind, Chen Xin got rid of bad habits such as eating snacks, buying high-end daily necessities and making random phone calls, and strictly followed the subsidized consumption plan. Before the Spring Festival, he took out 200 yuan from his savings allowance and sent it to his mother, expressing his filial piety for the first time.

After receiving the filial piety allowance saved by her son, Chen Xin's mother burst into tears and couldn't help exclaiming, "My son is not like this. He has only been in the army for a few days, and he has become so fast! The army is really a melting pot for cultivating people! "

During the discussion, after listening to Chen Xin's introduction of his changes in the Eighth Company, the head of the Military Commission repeatedly praised: This is no small progress!
