Lei Feng's Story (Hanging Socks)

One Sunday, Uncle Lei Feng's comrade-in-arms Wang Dali washed all the soldiers' socks and clothes. Uncle Lei Feng found his old socks missing when he was hanging clothes, so he looked everywhere. At this moment, Wang Dali said, "Lei Feng, you have so much savings, but you are reluctant to buy a pair of socks. Look, isn't it uncomfortable to wear these socks on your feet? " Uncle Lei Feng said, "As long as it doesn't delay my work!" Wang Dali added, "Don't you think it's ugly?" "We soldiers don't wear socks for others to see." These words have embodied Uncle Lei Feng's frugal spirit. He only gets 6 yuan's bonus every month, but he keeps it in the bank. Year after year, Lei Feng donated all the money he saved to the people in the disaster area, but he was reluctant to buy new socks. How frugal Lei Feng is!

There is a recruit, younger than, who works and studies well after joining the army. There is only one shortcoming: he often loves to spend small change and his pocket money is not enough every month. He also wrote to his family for this purpose. Seeing that he often buys snacks, Lei Feng advised him: "Less than a big man, isn't eating snacks afraid of jokes?" Less than good at talking back, seeing Lei Feng's hard work and plain living, although he was very moved and wanted to overcome his shortcomings, when others talked about his shortcomings and reminded him, he was always unconvinced and even said some sarcastic words. He said to Lei Feng, "Everyone is just like you. Newspapers can't be published." He said that Lei Feng should do what he should do. Lei Feng's socks have been mended again and again. I don't know how many times I made it up, but he still refused to throw it away. He bought a bar of soap and only used it on holidays. He usually washes his face with ordinary soap.

On one occasion, Lei Feng and Secretary Zhang went to the countryside and talked while walking. Walking, Lei Feng felt that he had tripped over something. He looked down and found a rusty screw, so he kicked it to the side of the road. Secretary Zhang asked, "What are you kicking?" Lei Feng said, "The screw is broken." Hearing this, Secretary Zhang silently picked up the screws from the grass, wiped them clean with a handkerchief and put them in his coat pocket. Lei Feng feels very strange. A few days later, Lei Feng followed Secretary Zhang to the county machinery factory for a site meeting. In the machinery factory, Secretary Zhang asked the director: "If this machine tool is missing a screw, will it still rotate?" The factory director said, "Then something will happen!" Clever Lei Feng now understands why the county party secretary must pick up the small screw. I saw Secretary Zhang take out a screw from his pocket and solemnly hand it to the factory director. On the way back, Secretary Zhang said, "Look, Lei Feng, a small screw can't work on the machine without it! So is the revolution. We people are big and small screws, and no one can live without anyone. Just like you, a civil servant, although your position is not high, our work cannot be separated from you. Therefore, where the party puts us, it will play a role. At the same time, the foundation of our country is still thin, and we must work hard everywhere. Not a single screw can be wasted. Many a mickle makes a mickle! "
