这天，第80集团军某旅宣传科刘干事前往某营指挥保障连，确认该连先进典型事迹宣传相关事项。一进营门，他便觉得有些“眼晕”——营区里一片热火朝天景象：这边的官兵修缮营具，手里的工具敲得叮当作响；那边的战士对床架进行除锈，迷彩服上蹭得都是白漆…… 宿舍楼内摊着各种工具，让人无处下脚。刘干事小心翼翼地绕过各种“障碍”走进兵舍，现场太吵，他不得不提高声音问道：“李指导员！李指导员在吗？” “谁找我？”一张白花花的脸一下从门梁旁探了出来，把刘干事吓了一跳。定睛一看，答话的正是李指导员，他正站在梯子上刷墙，手里抓着刷墙的滚筒，头发上落满墙灰，衣服上也有不少斑斑点点的脏污，脸上更是“精彩”，白灰和汗水混在一起，仿佛在“做面膜”。刘干事有些哭笑不得：“怎么搞成这个样子？”“连队小、人员少，干起活来就都得上。”李指导员抹了抹脸，从梯子上下来。没过多久，二人完成工作对接。送别对方，李指导员又动作轻快地爬上那架梯子继续刷墙——这段时间，他已对这种“高空作业”十分熟悉了。此前，考虑到即将开展野外驻训，可以趁机“晾一晾”营房，该连决定集中整治一下营房。可正值装备保养工作展开，连队人员编制少、装备多，既要完成装备检修、物资清点、器材整理等任务，又要在驻训前把营房整治一新，压力着实不小。得知消息，有些官兵开始嘀咕：“白天忙得团团转，晚上还得整治营房，这比驻训还累”“摊子大、人手少，领导想得好，苦的还是我们”……然而，在营房整治工作正式展开的当天晚上，李指导员就用行动化解了这些负面情绪。当时，二级上士商亮拎着清扫工具走进俱乐部，准备开始打扫。余光一瞟，却见李指导员正拿着刷墙的滚筒站在梯子上，头顶位置的天花板已快粉刷完毕。商亮赶忙上前想接过滚筒：“指导员，给我吧，我们干就行。”李指导员却表示：“不用，人少活多时间紧，是连队的一分子就得出力。” 看着李指导员在梯子上晃晃悠悠地躲避，商亮连忙收回了手。他拎起工具，走到另一边开始清扫，一边干一边想：开工第一天，指导员应该只是来“打个样”，日常事务那么多，想必明天就不会来了。然而，第二天一早，李指导员部署连队各项工作之后，便再次投身营房整治。接下来的几天，他也几乎都在爬高爬低，参与粉刷墙面、检修设备等脏活重活。有人找他，得到的回答大多是“指导员在梯子上”。起初，与李指导员一起干活，官兵们都有些拘谨。但伴随着工具的叮当声、滚筒的摩擦声，大家的话匣子慢慢打开，平时不好意思说的烦恼困惑，借着干活的热乎劲，都顺着聊了出来。李指导员边干边听，时不时插几句话，大家都越干越有劲。在全连的共同努力下，营房一天一个样，卫生死角彻底清理干净，破损的设施完成了检修，俱乐部的吊顶布线也焕然一新。最近，营房整治工作顺利完成，该连官兵如期拔营前往驻训地。粉刷一新的营房里，这段时间被李指导员“重用”的梯子已收进了工具间，但他站在梯子上晃晃悠悠的身影，仍留在战士的心中。

Summary

Machine summary

A political instructor (政治指导员) in a command support company of an unspecified battalion under the 80th Group Army spent several consecutive days personally painting walls and repairing barracks fixtures on a ladder during a pre-deployment overhaul, working alongside enlisted soldiers rather than supervising from the sideline. The article documents a recurring genre in PLA political work media: the 'officer leads by example' narrative used to address low morale during high-tempo, overlapping task periods — here, simultaneous equipment maintenance and barracks renovation ahead of field garrison training (野外驻训). Its value is as a record of how the institution frames grassroots political officer effectiveness for junior soldiers, not as evidence of a policy shift or changed unit posture.
