When the weather gets warmer, the company sends out summer clothes. Each person has two sets of single clothes, two sets of shirts and two pairs of rubber shoes. Everyone happily brought clothes to the purser.

When it was delivered to Lei Feng, he said, "I just need a military uniform, a shirt and a pair of rubber shoes!" "

The purser asked strangely, "Why is there only one set?"

He said: "The military uniform I wear can still be patched. I think wearing patched clothes now looks tens of millions of times better than what I wore when I was a child! Leave the remaining two sets of clothes to the country! "

Lei Feng loves material things, even if he wastes a little. He nailed a wooden box with nuts, iron wire, toothpaste skin and broken gloves. He called it a "treasure chest".

If a screw is missing and a part is broken in the car, he will look for it in the "treasure chest" first, and if he can substitute it, he will substitute it. If the rag is really rotten, he will find out the broken gloves from the "treasure chest" and wash them and change the rag. As for toothpaste skins and wire strips, he accumulated a certain amount and sold them to junk collectors, and all the money was given to the public.

Lei Feng lives a simple life and never spends a penny casually. As for the monthly allowance given to him by the organization, he left ten cents to pay the tour fee, twenty cents to buy soap, and then used some money to buy books to expand his "small library", and the rest was deposited in the bank. The socks he wore were mended layer by layer, and finally, they were completely changed, and he could not bear to lose them. The enamel washbasin and mouthwash cup he used are almost out of enamel, and he is reluctant to buy new ones.

Some comrades really don't understand, so they asked him:

Lei Feng, you are alone, with no family and no job. Why are you so miserable? "

Lei Feng said, "Who said I was bitter? Compared with what I have suffered in the past, my life now is really wonderful. "

He said, "Who said I was alone, without a home or a job? There are over 600 million people in our big family. In order to change the poor and white face of the motherland, the CPC Central Committee called on us to make great efforts and work hard. Is this wrong? "

Some comrades said: "The country is so big, and there is no shortage of your few dollars!"

Lei Feng said, "Every little makes a mickle! Save 10 cents per person per day. Do you calculate how much money has been saved in the whole country? When you are the head of a country, don't count this gross account? "

Someone said, "Lei Feng is a fool and stingy!"

Lei Feng answered those who didn't understand him with his own actions.

It was a beautiful day, and people near the station were beaming, beating gongs and drums to celebrate the establishment of the city people's commune.

He was also very happy. He thought, at this time, what can he do for the commune? Thinking about thinking about it, in order to run to the savings office, I took out all the 200 dollars I had accumulated in factories and troops in the past two years, ran to the office of the Party Committee of the People's Commune for Peace in Wanghua District like a gust of wind, put the money on the table and said:

"I have been looking forward to this day! This is my little gift to Wanghua District People's Commune. Please accept it! "

The comrades in the Party Committee Office were very moved and said, "Comrades! We accept your gifts and money. We can't accept it. You can keep it for your own use or send it home. "

Lei Feng said, "The people's commune is my home. My money is for my family. " He added, "I was born in bitterness and grew up in sweetness. Without self, there is no self. The party and the people have given me everything, and I will give everything to the people and the party. This money was given to me by the party and the people. Now let it play a little role in the cause of the people. "

Lei Feng begged, but the commune still refused to accept it. It was not until he cried that the comrades in the commune agreed to accept half of it. This incident greatly inspired all commune members. They said, "We will run the people's commune well and thank the People's Liberation Army ..."

1960 at the end of summer, this newspaper released a message: Liaoyang area suffered a once-in-a-century catastrophic disaster.

I have endless affection for Liaoyang and Lei Feng! He joined the army there and lived and worked there. He immediately missed his friends and villagers there. After reading the newspaper, he sighed anxiously.

When he saw in the newspaper that the CPC Central Committee sent planes to send food and clothes to the people in the disaster area, he thought to himself, "The CPC Central Committee cares so much about the people in the disaster area. What can I do for the people in the disaster area at this moment? ..... "He thought of the 100 yuan returned to him by the commune and quickly wrote a letter of condolence. Facing the heavy rain, he immediately ran to the post office and sent this 100 yuan to Liaoyang with the letter.

He wrote in his diary:

"Some people say that I am a fool, which is wrong. I want to be a person who is beneficial to the people and the country. If this is a' fool', then I am willing to be such a' fool'. The revolution needs such a' fool' and the construction needs such a' fool'. "
