The investigation by the Water Conservancy Department came to nothing, so I had to leave in despair.

Although Lu Changhua was not angry, he had not yet been able to reason with it.

The farm reform is in the experimental stage, and there is no standard of right or wrong at this time.

Many things that were correct before may not be true now.

What is wrong now may not be wrong in the future.

November 7, 1985, the beginning of winter.

It snowed heavily early that morning and it never stopped.

Lu Changhua took six or seven people on Master Lin's tractor and headed west through the mountains to the Erlongshan Forest Farm.

This time Xiong Bao squeezed into the cab and stopped following him.

Master Lin was driving the car, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and chatting with Lu Changhua.

The people who helped load the truck all wore military coats, covered themselves tightly, and stood on the rear trailer to blow the wind.

It's the same in the cab, you should blow or blow.

Both of them and the dog were breathing white air.

Lu Changhua wore a cotton hand mask and held Xiong Bao's head to prevent his tongue from sticking to the iron door.

The tractor's sheet metal and parts have long been frosted with white frost.

At this time, you must not lick the iron with your tongue, otherwise it will stick to it instantly, even if your hands are wet.

This is a bloody lesson.

In his previous life, when Lu Changhua was a child, his tongue stuck to the iron railing. Fortunately, someone was nearby and helped him wash it away with cold water, otherwise he might have become mute.

He was afraid that Xiong Bao would stick out his tongue and accidentally throw it against the iron door, which would be terrible.

After freezing on the tractor for more than an hour, I finally wandered to the forest farm.

Bao Xiong knew that there were ferocious similar creatures here, so he followed his master very obediently, never leaving.

The price of firewood has increased this year.

An increase of ten yuan from last year.

Lu Changhua knows that the price will be higher next year, so he will buy more cars this year while there is still time.

Last year he bought two carts, and this year he bought six carts, two carts of birch and four carts of hardwood.

The main reason is that the reservoir used less firewood last year, and I'm afraid more firewood will be needed this year.

There are fish in the reservoir this year, but it’s really hard for no one to watch them.

After paying the money and taking the receipt, the tractor drove to the firewood storage area.

Everyone lit their cigarettes first and then started loading the cars.

In just one hour, Bai Hua loaded up a full cart.

There are also two wire ropes stretched one behind the other on the carriage, and a small winch is used to tighten the wire ropes.

Then they climbed into the carriage and sat directly on the birch wood.

Laughing and telling jokes.

Lu Changhua took out a box of cigarettes and threw it up.

"Smoke it yourself."

"okay."

The man on the wooden pile took the cigarette, and without giving God any face, he tore open the cigarette box with his bare hands, spread out the cigarette, lit it, and started smoking.

The smoke and the white air they breathed formed a lingering cloud on the trailer. When a gust of wind blew, it felt like the clouds were opening and the mist was dispersing.

This car of birch was unloaded at the reservoir duty room.

Hu Dagui had already prepared the chainsaw.

The heavy snow didn't stop today and kept falling.

After unloading the birch, Lu Changhua handed the receipt to Master Lin, and the tractor pulled everyone to the forest farm.

He and Hu Dagui saw wood in the heavy snow.

Bao Xiong didn't enter the house either, and followed him to play in the snow.

With a chain saw and Hu Dagui as the main force, this car can cut wood very quickly, finishing it in an hour.

The two of them stacked the birch trippers in the simple shed.

Sawing wood is fast, but stacking wood is not fast. It took them nearly two hours to finish stacking, and half of the simple shed was occupied.

"Let's go inside first to warm up by the fire."

Both of them carried some wood and entered the duty room.

There was a violent ping-ping-pong-pong dismantling, and the wood was thrown into the stove.

With the remaining fire, the wood was ignited.

The fire in the stove suddenly became high.

"I've been burning, and just now I burned down."

"Boil some water, they will have to drink it when they come back later."

After the water boiled, each of them poured a bowl, blew on the edge of the bowl, put it to his mouth and took a sip.

Xiong Bao shook the water droplets from his hair and leaned against the stove to bake.

There was heavy snow falling outside the house, and the northwest wind howled by, blowing the snow on the wilderness to the back wall of the warehouse.

In the open space in front and behind the duty room, the cold wind carried snowflakes and swirled across the snow.

You can hear the howling of the cold wind while sitting in the house.

The crackling and exploding sound of wood indoors brought another kind of warmth and tranquility.

Not long after this pleasant time, the roar of tractors could be heard amidst the whistling wind.

"They're back."

Hu Dagui suddenly became energetic, put on his coat, opened the door and walked out.

Lu Changhua also put on his coat, picked up the chain saw and walked out.

Xiong Bao took one look, rested his head on his front paws again, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

This truck is made of hard miscellaneous wood. After unloading it, everyone cut off the wood and stacked it.

With more people and greater strength, we can finish the job in an hour.

"Let's go home and have dinner."

Hu Dagui still had to guard the reservoir and wait for Lu Changhua to deliver food to him.

Lu Changhua jumped into the car and returned home with the tractor.

The tractor was parked at the door and continued to pull firewood after dinner, so it was not turned off and kept on fire.

People crowded into the house.

Lao Lu and Mother Lu had already prepared meals.

Everyone took off their coats and washed their faces with hot water, then gathered around the dining table, poured wine and started drinking.

Of course, three small glasses per person, eat more, drink less, save it for later when you come back in the afternoon.

These three cups are for everyone to relieve the cold, not for drinking.

The atmosphere at the wine table was lively.

There was wine, fish, talking and laughing.

After everyone had eaten, drank, and warmed up, they continued to get in the car and headed to the forest farm.

Lu Changhua took Hu Dagui's lunch box and Xiong Bao's food to the reservoir.

In such a heavy snowstorm, we can only walk.

Hu Dagui was already so hungry that he lay stretched out on the kang.

Seeing Lu Changhua coming, he jumped up.

"You also know that there is a silly child who didn't eat?"

"I know, come and eat."

Hu Dagui was eating on top, and Xiong Bao was eating on the bottom, so there was no delay for either of them.

This trip came back late. The wind and snow were too strong and the snow became deeper. The tractor finally climbed back with difficulty.

After unloading the car, everyone worked in the wind and snow to finish sawing and put it on the yard.

The firewood here at the reservoir has been prepared, and tomorrow we will only bring it to Lu's house.

This time the tractor parked directly on the side of the road, turned off the engine and turned on the water. It stopped today.

It’s really hard to work in such weather. Not to mention the wind and snow, the most unbearable thing is the cold.

After entering the house, everyone took off their coats, drank boiled water, and washed their faces. Everyone was gearing up and getting ready to have a good meal.

Mother Lu and Lao Lu served eight dishes in one go.

First I brought two bottles of Yuquan wine.

Everyone cheered when they saw this.

They pulled up the stools and gathered around to prepare for the banquet.

Xiong Bao had already crawled under the table and lay at Lu Changhua's feet.

"Dad, stop being busy. We can't have a dinner party if you don't come."

Lu Changhua greeted his father in the kitchen.

"Come on, come on!"

Lao Lu took off his apron, wiped his hands and sat over.

Just as Lu Changhua was about to make his move, the door was pushed open.

Lu Changzhong walked in dressed in snowflakes.

When they saw it was the boss of the Lu family, they all quickly stood up.

"Big brother is back!"

"Everyone, sit down, you're welcome."

While patting the snow on her son, Mother Lu asked: "How did you come back with such heavy snow?"

"My colleagues sent me back."

Lu Changzhong took off his coat and shook it. Mother Lu quickly took it and put it on the box.

Lu Changzhong stomped the snow on his feet.

"Wash your face quickly and keep it warm."

Lao Lu said.

Lu Changhua ran to the kitchen and fetched his elder brother a basin of hot water.

Lu Changzhong threw the towel into the water, picked it up with his fingers, and dipped it in the water again. After several times, he wrung out the water and wiped it on his face.

"Brother, I heard about you."

Lu Changzhong said something in a low voice and stopped mentioning it.

"oh."

Lu Changhua knew that his family members were talkative and could not say more, so he stopped asking questions.

After Lu Changzhong finished washing his face, he asked him to sit down next to his father.

Mom also came in with the bowls and chopsticks and handed them to the elder brother.

"Come on, come on, big brother is back, pour it for big brother."

Someone was busy pouring wine.

Lu Changzhong did not give in. After the wine was filled, he waited for his brother to speak.

After all, this game was saved by Lu Changhua. If he doesn't speak, it's hard for others to speak.

"Ahem, thank you for your help. There are a few troublesome guys every year. The cold weather makes everyone suffer. We have a long time ahead. Come on, have a drink!"

"well!"

"well said!"

Everyone stood up and drank the cup in a noisy manner.

Lao Lu and Lu Changzhong also drank.

Next, both Lu Changzhong and Lao Lu made speeches to persuade them to drink.

Lu Changhua's drinking capacity is limited and he can't keep drinking with him, so he leaves this matter to his eldest brother and father.

I drank until about nine o'clock in the evening and then broke up.

We agreed to see you at Lu's house tomorrow.

After all the guests had left, Lu Changhua asked the reason why his eldest brother came back.

This is out of season, there must be something going on when you come back suddenly!

When his brother asked about this topic, Lu Changzhong told the truth.

"Brother, your matter has attracted the attention of the leader."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Lu Changhua didn't understand.

"As a pioneer in the reform of our Changshui Farm, you have achieved success in contracting the reservoir. Today, Minister Sun asked me to come back to understand your situation in detail. He meant to write a report to list you as a successful case and set an example.

.”

"Ah? Am I still a success story? Am I still a typical person?"

Lu Changhua was a little confused.

"Brother, you don't know yet, right? I've been sued several times."

"Haha, brother, just because you were sued and there were no problems after investigation, it attracted the attention of the leaders. Let me tell you, what typical example has not been sued?!"

"Ahem, boss, our family can't stand the trouble. Now your brother has been sued several times and even came to the investigation team twice. It's not easy to publicize this matter."

"Haha, dad, let's just talk about our successful experiences and lessons. As for the propaganda department, what they say and how they report it is their business."
