In a workshop, Liu Haizhong was sitting aside to rest, with a big hammer beside him on the ground, his expression changing from time to time.
Hearing the voice coming from the radio and the instructions conveyed by the group leader beside him, Liu Haizhong was also mentally interpreting them silently.
He doesn't just stay on the surface like others. He uses his years of research on the ways of being an official to discover the hidden meanings.
When the benefits are received, it seems that the workers are suffering losses, but it is the directors who are really being hurt.
Just imagine, if the director loses the right to distribute benefits, who among the workers will still respect him?
On the contrary, after the rights were taken away and distributed again, the workers were grateful to him, Secretary Wang.
Moreover, these directors are all from Yang Youning's faction. Attacking these powerful directors is equivalent to weakening Yang Youning's authority and strength.
"It's a wonderful use of this hand to weaken the branches."
Touching the clean-shaven stubble in his bangs, he nodded silently.
When I think of those five resolute abstentions, they also have profound meanings.
What is a corpse meal?
This is obviously aimed at officials.
What is enjoyment?
At least there is no enjoyment for a worker like him, he is still an official.
As for cheating, you can just muddle along, haha.
Liu Haizhong didn't want to delve deeper, "Secretary Wang has a lot of experience in struggle."
"A role model for our generation."
The thought of studying hard and discussing with Secretary Wang suddenly came up in Liu Haizhong.
However, this is just his wishful thinking, and now he can't see Secretary Wang at all.
Even if he takes the initiative to recommend himself, there must be a reason to open his mouth. If he goes up like this, he will offend others for nothing.
Lieutenant Liu Hai put the belt on the handle of the hammer and mentally thought about where to find the 'stepping stone'.
Second floor of the steel rolling mill, R&D and Design Department.
Lou Xiao'e has been having trouble sleeping recently and often wakes up in the middle of the night with insomnia, so every time she comes to the factory, she looks listless.
However, these were all trivial matters. What really bothered her was the new Secretary Wang.
When Yang Xiaotao was here before, he didn't want to do some work himself, so he left it to her to help organize it.
Unexpectedly, Director Wang denied her the job after he arrived.
The reason is simple: there are too many secrets in the steel rolling mill, and her identity is inappropriate.
Inappropriate identity!
Lou Xiaoe immediately thought of her origins.
But wasn't it already settled when I came to the steel rolling mill?
I am now a worker in a steel rolling mill.
Does Secretary Wang know this?
Lou Xiao'e was troubled and didn't dare to ask.
So now, I come to the factory every day and sit in the office.
It feels uncomfortable to be idle.
Looking up at the table by the window, how much she missed that person coming back.
Even if you don't do anything, just sit there and read a book for her to watch, you will feel comfortable mentally.
Suddenly, the sudden longing in Lou Xiao'e's heart became stronger and stronger.
squeak~
The door was pushed open and Liu Yulan walked in.
Because she had given birth to her child, Liu Yulan returned to Workshop 11 and worked with Zhou Kui.
However, the two of them had a good relationship, so they came over for a walk and talked to relieve their boredom.
"Xiao'e, are you okay?"
Liu Yulan came to Lou Xiao'e.
Lou Xiao'e quickly shook her head, "It's okay."
"Yulan, why are you here?"
Liu Yulan glanced at the room and tried the radiator. It was cold, and the stove was obviously not turned on.
"This steel rolling mill moves really fast. It stops whenever it says to stop."
Lou Xiao'e straightened her hair and said, "The whole building is like this."
"I came to see you. By the way, Qiuye came back yesterday and asked you to come over for dinner tonight."
"What? Qiu Ye is back? Where is the little Dragon Boat Festival?"
"Come up in one piece."
Liu Yulan smiled. Lou Xiao'e was a very competent godmother. She never forgot to bring something for Little Dragon Boat Festival every time she went there.
"It's getting cold, and schools are on vacation. Qiuye will come back to stay for a while."
"Plus, since I'm heavy, it will be easier to come back."
"Well, then I'll go over after get off work to buy some things."
"It's up to you. It'll be fine if you live there anyway."
"What are you talking about? Who wants to live there?"
"Hey, I didn't say anything, maybe you're overthinking it."
"Your expression clearly shows that you are overthinking..."
"No, really not."
...
northwest farm
Yang Xiaotao opened the lid of the pot and looked at the soup that was almost gone. The ribs were cut into small pieces one by one, with green onions, ginger and other aniseed ingredients on top. He smelled it and frowned slightly.
This wolf meat is really inferior compared to pork.
It's a pity that I didn't bring out the Garuda knife this time, otherwise I could have removed the peculiar smell from the wolf meat and purified the meat.
Yang Xiaotao was 'nitpicking' here, but the people beside the stove were impatiently waiting.
This braised pork ribs smells delicious.
Further away, a pot was boiling with broth, and some people who couldn't wait had already begun to drink it, scooping up the meat in the pot and chewing it in small bites.
A group of children held pancakes in their hands and slurped away from the bowl. After drinking a bowl, they still wanted to eat, but their mother rushed them aside.
It’s not that I’m stingy about not giving, it’s that I’m afraid that it will ruin my stomach.
If there is no oil or water for a long time, it is easy to have diarrhea if you suddenly eat too much.
It’s hard to eat something delicious, but if something happens again, the gain will outweigh the loss.
"Here, the pot is ready."
After tasting the salty taste, Yang Xiaotao took out the braised pork ribs with a spoon and put them in a large basin.
However, when the field director in the distance saw this scene, he gave Gao Yufeng a thumbs up.
Although it may look like braised pork ribs, the ingredients used are all ready-made, and even the oil and meat fat are used to braise it. But it is such a simple method, and the control of the heat is extraordinary.
Gao Yufeng stepped forward, carrying the lunch box and started to serve the meal. After Yang Xiaotao made a portion of the meal, he and Gao Yufeng found a place to shelter from the wind and sat down under the sun. The two of them gnawed on the bones and drank the soup.
"What is that? Still fighting?"
After biting a piece of rib into pieces and holding it in his mouth for a while, Yang Xiaotao looked at a platform not far away, which was the Maxim heavy machine gun he saw at night.
Gao Yufeng took a look and said, "You don't think it's safe here, do you?"
"Isn't it?" Now it was Yang Xiaotao's turn to be surprised, "Aren't there farms all around? Is it possible that there are still enemies?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Why not?"
Gao Yufeng gnawed the bones clean, put one end in his mouth, bit it hard, and sucked the dispensable soup inside.
"A few years ago, there were horse bandit rebellions."
Gao Yufeng talked about what he heard when he first arrived, "Besides, this place is so big. It seems that there are a lot of us, but the sand that falls to the ground as soon as we disperse is inconspicuous."
He drew a few words on the ground and said, "We have restored the land here, but that's it. When you come, the town you pass by is the nearest populated area."
"There is another farm fifty miles away from us."
"Our farms are all determined based on the location of water and grass. Otherwise, people wouldn't be able to survive and we wouldn't be able to grow food."
Only then did Yang Xiaotao realize that it wasn't that he didn't want to get together, but that the conditions didn't allow it.
"And there are horse bandits?"
"Yes. Well, forget it, I won't tell you anymore. Anyway, you know, so just be prepared."
Director Gao still did not tell the truth. Although there is no such thing here now, there are always some saboteurs with ulterior motives operating near the border area.
"oh."
Yang Xiaotao responded and continued eating.
The danger outside the farm flashed through my mind again.
...
Thousands of miles away, next door.
In a valley, a group of people were moving in the cold wind.
Some of these people wore fur clothes and fur hats on their heads, and some still retained their original clothes. They looked similar to Chang Jun's, but more shabby.
Outside the valley, two men in military uniforms and helmets were holding guns, looking lazy and not taking them seriously.
On both sides, there are several hidden sentry towers, but the people inside are also in nooks and crannies.
The terrain here is remote and rarely visited.
Even if they go out on their own, they may not be able to find people.
At the bottom of the valley on both sides, a row of houses was erected with the help of the mountains, inhabited by a group of people who had lost their homes.
In the largest room in the valley, three people were divided into two groups and sat together.
At the top is a thin, middle-aged man with a beard under his chin.
Standing next to him was a person with hair sticking up on his head and a smooth middle part, a bit like two small wings.
At this time, both of them looked at the woman in front of them nervously.
A woman wearing work clothes can't hide her bumpy figure, and the traces of time can't hide her face.
The look between her brows shows that she was a romantic woman when she was young.
The two of them were surprised that such a woman actually walked through the vast neighborhood and found them exactly where they were.
"Who are you? How did you find this place?"
The middle-aged man asked coldly, if the woman doesn't tell her why, she will not be able to get out of this valley.
The woman smiled brightly, raised her hand and pushed the hair behind her ears, revealing a pattern on her arms.
"Should I call you Commander Bai, or Colonel Bai Yuhua?"
The woman's voice had the softness of a Jiangnan water town, but the words she spoke made the two people's expressions change drastically.
The person behind the middle-aged man quickly pulled out a gun and strode forward, "You bitch, who the hell are you, if you don't tell me clearly, I will kill you right now."
The woman continued to smile, "This should be Major Tieying who led the cavalry to charge bravely and was the first to rush into the enemy headquarters."
The man's body tensed up, and the gun in his hand trembled.
"who are you."
"Who I am depends on who you are." The woman stood up and said without fear, "If you are just a group of bandits, then I am just an ordinary oil worker, and I will pretend I have never been here today."
"Of course, you can also keep me, but I advise you not to do that."
The middle-aged man, Bai Yuhua, looked sternly, stared at the woman and asked, "What if he's not a bandit?"
The woman smiled, walked to the middle of the room, suddenly straightened her body, raised her right hand and saluted.
"Northwest Office, Butterfly, I have met Colonel Bai Yuhua, 39th Army, Sixth War Zone."
The woman raised her hands and looked at the man like this.
After a long time, the man slowly stood up, sighed, slowly raised his right hand, and returned a military salute.
"Butterfly, is your code name?"
"Yes, butterflies do, bees do, and flies do too. There are countless I'm still struggling, so Colonel Bai doesn't have to be suspicious. People like us won't tell our real names."
"Why did you find us?"
Tie Ying on the side suddenly asked. Although the two parties were sure that they were from the same family, they had hidden themselves in the past few years. Although many people had entered the next door and started farming, in such a big place, as long as they did not take the initiative to expose themselves, they would not be able to find them.
They're not easy either.
"I found you all because of my teacher's instructions."
"Who is your teacher?"
Butterfly looked at Bai Yuhua, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, "It's your cousin, Wang Xiqin."
boom
Bai Yuhua suddenly sat back on the chair, "You, who are you talking about?"
"Your cousin, the one who was once called the 'White Demon'."
"Impossible, she, she left a long time ago, took a boat and left a long time ago. How could she know this now? Impossible."
Bai Yuhua's whole body was in a mess, and he became irritable.
And in his mind, he vaguely still had the smile of his cousin.
Although outsiders are afraid of her, she takes great care of her cousin.
"No, the master has never left. Back then, she chose to let go of everything, be content with being ordinary, and settle down in Sijiu City."
The butterfly seemed to recall the past, everything was so beautiful.
