Scholars in the courtyard

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 team 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 how to be an official to discover the hidden meaning.

When the benefits are received, it seems that the workers suffer losses, but it is the directors who are really hurt.

Just imagine, if the director loses the right to distribute benefits, who among the workers will still respect him?

On the contrary, after taking away the rights and distributing them 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.

"This hand is a great way to weaken the branches."

Touching the clean-shaven stubble in his bangs, he nodded silently.

I think of those five resolute prohibitions, which 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, 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 idea of ​​studying hard and discussing with Secretary Wang suddenly came up in bangs.

However, this was just his wishful thinking, and now he couldn'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 people for nothing.

Lieutenant Liu Hai put the belt on the handle of the hammer and mentally thought about where to find the 'stepping stone'.

On the second floor of the steel rolling mill, R\u0026D Design Department.

Lou Xiao'e has been having trouble sleeping recently and often wakes up in the middle of the night to suffer from 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 he 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.

Feeling uncomfortable.

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, it will feel comfortable.

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 Shi Chang came over to have a walk, talk, and relieve his 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? Qiuye 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 school is 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."

"That expression on your face clearly shows that you are overthinking."

"No, not really."

northwest farm

Yang Xiaotao opened the lid of the pot and looked at the nearly exhausted soup. 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 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 at the bowl. After finishing the bowl, they still wanted to eat, but their mother rushed them aside.

It's not that I'm stingy about not giving, but I'm afraid that I'll spoil my stomach.

This kind of long-term absence of oil and water, sudden eating too much, it is easy to have diarrhea.

I finally had something delicious to eat, but if something happened again, it would be more than worth the loss.

"Come on, it's ready."

After tasting the salty taste, Yang Xiaotao fished 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, including the oil and meat fat, but it is such a simple method, and the control of the heat is extraordinary.

Gao Yufeng stepped forward, took 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 glanced at it 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?"

"How 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 came, the town you passed by was 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 live 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, just be prepared."

Director Gao still did not tell the reality. Although there is no such thing here now, there are always saboteurs with ulterior motives 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 sat together in two groups.

At the top is a thin, middle-aged man with a beard under his chin.

There was a person standing next to him. His hair was raised up, and the middle part was smooth, 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.

Such a woman actually walked through the vast next door and found them exactly where they were, which had to surprise the two of them.

"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 are you? If you don't tell me clearly, I will kill you right now."

The woman continued to smile, "This should be the one who led the cavalry to charge bravely and was the first to rush into the enemy headquarters, Major Tieying."

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 to fight without fear. "If you are just a group of bandits, then I am just an ordinary oil worker. 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 and sighed.

"Why did you find us?"

Tie Ying on the side suddenly asked. Although both parties were sure that they were their own people, it was not easy to find them.

"It's all my teacher's responsibility to find you."

"Who is your teacher?"

Butterfly looked at Bai Yuhua with a hint of sadness in his 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.

But now.
