Cui Dake learned from his uncle Cui Shanmin that comrades from the steel rolling mill had come to the commune to deliver food, and he immediately became suspicious.
His greatest wish is to transform from a mud-legged person into a city dweller.
Although the driver is not the leader, he is better than the leader. If he can pass a message through the driver comrade, he might be able to enter the city.
For a person like Cui Dake who is good at sneaking into the camp, as long as there is a chance, he will try his best to move up.
In order to attract the driver's attention, Cui Dake also specially gave a classic opening speech.
What he didn't expect was that Li Weidong took the cigarette and said with a smile: "Cui Dake, Cui is the one who urges life, but there is no independent person. It is unfilial and unfilial, but it can be done, right?"
"this...."
Cui Dake was stunned.
How can you still play like this by stealing someone else's lines?
However, Cui Dake is the kind of person whose face is thicker than the city wall. After smiling "hehe", he blew a rainbow fart: "
Huo, leader, you are really good at predicting things! You said everything I wanted to say, I really admire you!"
He hunched over with a smile, struck a match, and put his hands together to light Li Weidong's cigarette: "You, in ancient times, that was when Zhuge Kongming was still alive!"
Although Cui Dake is not a good person, his talk is indeed not simple.
If Li Weidong didn't know his background, he would definitely have thought that he had a little fanboy.
"Comrade Cui Dake, Zhuge Liang belongs to the Fourth/Old Dynasty, you are not very enlightened."
"This... Oops! Look at my mouth. I just learned a few ancient Chinese sentences from others and then started to mess around. I deserve a beating. I deserve a beating."
Cui Dake was stunned for a moment, then smiled playfully and lightly slapped his face.
After he finished, he took the opportunity to say: "I made a serious mistake and deserved to be punished. Here is a bottle of Laofen wine. Comrade driver, please have a try."
Cui Dacheng took out a wine bottle from his arms like magic.
Huo, the granary in Nanshi Commune is empty, but Cui Dake can still get Laofen wine, which is really a big deal.
Li Weidong was not polite. After taking it, he casually put it into his cotton-padded jacket pocket.
"He who doesn't know is not guilty, Comrade Cui, how can you handle this!"
"I can handle it, I can handle it. To be honest with the driver, I still have sausages at home. I'll bring some to you when I get back."
"Give me some! Ah haha!"
After all, they are all free things, and Li Weidong will certainly not refuse them.
Cui Dashi was also very excited because he had established a friendship with the driver.
He was a smart man and knew that the driver had a special status in the factory, so he might be able to take him to the city with him.
One was unintentional, the other was intentional, and the two quickly became passionate.
Suddenly, there was a splashing sound on the roof.
Li Weidong's expression changed, he walked over quickly and opened the door.
Outside the door, it was raining heavily, and the raindrops fell into the mud puddles, making little splashes.
Niu Meng looked at the gloomy sky and said worriedly: "Master, if it rains like this, as long as it rains for an hour, we won't be able to go back."
Li Weidong nodded. There were more than ten miles of dirt road from Nanshi Commune to the national highway. After it was soaked by rain, trucks could not pass at all.
At this time, commune director Cui Shanhe rushed in holding a broken umbrella.
While wiping the rainwater from his hair, he said: "Comrade driver, I'm afraid you have to stay for a few more days. The food has only been distributed halfway. Because the rain is too heavy, it can only be suspended. I asked comrades from the mountain people to deliver food to those households who are short of food first."
Food, subsequent needs will be discussed after the rain stops."
"The Point Guard Is Here"
"That's all." Li Weidong glanced at the dark clouds in the sky and nodded.
Only now did Cui Shanhe see Cui Dake, and he frowned immediately.
He has never had a good impression of Cui Dake, who is smooth-tongued and has unclean hands and feet.
"Dake, go help your uncle distribute food!"
To Cui Shanhe's expectation, Cui Dake did not hesitate.
He dug out a piece of linen from the pile of debris, put it on his head and rushed out.
The rain continued until late at night and did not stop.
Li Weidong and Niu Meng could only take it as they came and stay patiently in the commune.
Fortunately, there was an extra vacant house here, so Cui Shanhe asked two aunts to bring two quilts in the rain.
Perhaps out of fear, Niu Meng did not dare to sleep alone and had to squeeze in Li Weidong's room.
Li Weidong was worried about her safety, so he agreed.
The master slept on the bed and the apprentice slept on the floor. They fell into a deep sleep amidst the sound of rain.
I don't know how long it took, but Li Weidong seemed to hear a rapid ringing of the bell, and he woke up hazily.
The heavy rain outside continued, and the sound of heavy footsteps and noisy noises was added to the rain.
Li Weidong took out the flashlight from his arms and pushed Niu Meng: "Wake up, something might have happened!"
Niu Meng opened her eyes and yawned: 'What could happen in the middle of the night!'
"It won't be a good thing anyway. Let's go and take a look."
Li Weidong and Niu Meng rushed to the commune auditorium, where many members had already gathered.
There were also people running in from the heavy rain. Although they were wearing shabby raincoats, their cotton-padded jackets were so wet they could drip.
The members' faces were white with cold, but their expressions were tense and their eyes were helpless.
Cui Shanhe, director of the commune, walked back and forth in the middle of the crowd with his hands behind his back.
At this time, a figure staggered in from outside.
He was soaked all over, and his cotton-padded jacket and trouser legs were covered with mud.
"Director, hurry, hurry, the water in Xiaobei River is about to overflow!"
"Really, is it really spreading?" Cui Shanhe's voice was trembling.
"I saw it with my own eyes. It rained heavily two days ago and the water in the river swelled. This time the rain was so heavy." The member wiped the sweat from his face with his wet sleeves and looked frightened. "Last time the Xiaobei River flooded, we
The commune was drowned..."
Cui Shanhe interrupted him: "Let's go up the river embankment and defend the collective property! We will not hesitate to sacrifice our lives!"
At this time, we must not shake the people's hearts.
"Defend collective property! No matter how much you sacrifice your life!" the members shouted loudly, holding hoes, shovels, and baskets.
People in this era have spiritual beliefs.
They can sacrifice their personal interests and even their lives for the sake of the collective.
Although Li Weidong came from a later generation, he was also moved by this spirit.
Moreover, when he was a child, he participated in the 1998 flood rescue operation and learned many scientific rescue methods from his comrades in the army.
This is the time to step forward.
"Director Cui, I'll go with you!"
"Comrade driver, it is dangerous to go up the river embankment."
"You are not afraid of danger, and I certainly am not afraid either!"
"Okay! He's a man!"
Cui Shanhe raised his shovel high and shouted loudly: "The comrades from the city are not afraid of danger, and we people in Nanshi Commune cannot be bears. Comrades, rush to the river embankment to defend collective property!"
"Rush up the river embankment and defend collective property!"
Amidst the passionate slogans, Li Weidong and Cui Shanhe led the members to rush along the muddy road to the embankment behind the village in the pouring rain. This chapter has been completed!
