Great Power

On this day, the goose-feather-like heavy snow was wrapped in the north wind, stumbling about in mid-air, and sprinkled on the ground one after another, making an inaudible rustling sound, when the ground was shrouded in white and white. , Shanxian sent away the last big cold season in the twenty-four solar terms.

Shanxian County is located to the south of the north of the Republic. In previous years, the severe cold hours were mostly dry and less rain and snow. When there was no snow that needed to absorb heat and turn into water, the temperature was naturally not too low. Of course, this idea only existed in Zheng Jianguo's previous life. In his memory, he was wearing cotton trousers and quilted jackets and still wanted to hold the stove in his arms, although the stove kept emitting a strange smell that was doped with carbon monoxide and his brother carbon dioxide and other unspeakable names. Can't hold him cold.

It’s been a long time since Zheng Jianguo feels so cold, especially when he thinks of the heating and air conditioning in the office or home in his memory, he feels that his body seems to be colder again, and he feels that he has evolved from cold to cool, and his feet with big cotton shoes are also It seems to have lost consciousness.

Cool, just one word.

In Zheng Jianguo's memory, the word cool is used to describe the body temperature of a corpse. As the director of the emergency department of a township hospital in his previous life, his daily business volume was much smaller than that of his counterparts in the city, but it is not that he did not see it. However, after all, the iron rice bowl served by the barefoot doctor for more than ten years belongs to the category of having never killed pigs and seen pigs walking. At this moment, he feels like those hard corpses.

The cold wind outside the house whizzed by with heavy snow. The peculiar smelly mud-sleeve heated the kettle on the forehead with the energy of the inferior coal burning in its stomach, and warmed it up while blowing smoke like a hookah. This is the reason why Zheng Jianguo can’t get close. It’s cold when the weather is cold, but because Shan County is located to the south, you can only see it hundreds of miles to the north. The reason why the shadow of the hot kang says so is because even if there is a kang over there, it is mostly cold.

The winter battle will be suspended under the wind and snow. During the daytime when the educated youths and members intensively study, the Dongshan Province will not steam the kang. The latest document study is divided into several classes. There are three waves of the members.

Every time at this time, Shen Jianguo is looking forward to the end of his studies earlier. This is not to say that his consciousness is low, but that with so many people, he can't get close to the furnace surrounded by the inner three floors and the outer three floors, only the educated youth who study. After we and the members left, he could feel the warmth brought by the charcoal fire in the stove, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes that occasionally appeared on the side of the stove——

It’s a pity that not today. The old secretary of the commune has a face drawn, wearing a four-pocket cadre uniform with a stand-up collar and a green woolen coat. He is standing on the pile of sack in the warehouse with his eyes wide-eyed. His eyebrows were raised high, and two big words of dissatisfaction were written on his black face: "Your Sanlibao (waterfall) brigade is relatively close to the county seat, even closer than the commune resident, but you can't build the ground by road. If you are finished, you will be arrogant, right? I am even wondering if your brigade has not studied enough and its thinking cannot keep up with the development of the situation. When other brigades are racing against time to carry out major construction--"

Sanlibao, as the name suggests, is located in Zhengxi Sanli, Shanxian County, and the affiliated Guanxi Commune is located in Sanli to the west. In Zheng Jianguo’s memory, ten years later, with the continuous development of the city, in Shanxian After the county was removed and the city was established, it became the Guanxi Subdistrict of Shanzhou City, which at this time belonged to the combined city and society.

Shanxian County is located on the south side of the Qinan Plain. Geographically speaking, there is no mountain or water. Since the winter battle that started in the last decade has kicked off, it is the road at the beginning of 1977. After the ditch was repaired, the trench was dug, and the content of the winter battle after the autumn harvest was to clear the ditch and prepare the ground.

It’s just that this year’s situation is different from previous years. The old party secretary was admitted to the local hospital more than half a year ago and has not yet returned. The deputy party secretary Guo Binghe lit a fire, and he insisted on repairing the pavement of the ditches that had been dredged throughout the winter and the ground to be turned over , It took half the time of previous years to finish.

Although Dahan is gone, it is still more than half a month before the Spring Festival of Ding Simian. The educated youth club members who were thinking of getting a good rest after being exhausted heard the tone of the secretary of music, and their hearts were cold after looking at each other. Halfway through, Guo Binghe said earlier that he would finish working early and rest early. The educated youth who were going to go home for the New Year even entrusted them to buy long-distance tickets.

In the short silence, Secretary Qu’s voice swayed in the warehouse, and Guo Binghe’s expression became a little ugly. He is forty-eight years old this year. He is a long, short, transparent person. He lived in the courtyard more than half a year ago. , The Sanlibao brigade, which originally thought it would be chaotic, is still in the same way as the old party secretary. The summer harvest and autumn are busy in order. His deputy party secretary-as in previous years, does not seem to exist until the beginning of the winter. He asked for annual leave, so he felt that he was going to do it anyway, early.

"Is this bad?"

Guo Binghe worked all the way from the team leader to the deputy secretary. He also listened to Secretary Qu's instructions for more than ten years. He only heard this and he seemed to be hit on the head with the top bar. Suddenly, his sunken cheeks trembled. He opened his mouth and didn’t make a single sound. In order to ensure that the members accomplish their goals, he had promised the members to take a good rest after finishing their work, and even granted annual leave to several educated youths. It was said that they had said that they would go back to their home in the provincial capital for the New Year several months in advance. At this time, even the industrial vouchers they "forgot" were all used up.

What can I do now?Eat it back if you vomit?

At the moment Guo Binghe was at a loss, the voice of Secretary Qu that echoed in the warehouse completely disappeared. His condescending gaze swept across the few people under his eyelids. Since he came from the district to this Guanxi Commune 13 years ago, he has also made his hometown. After moving over, many of the heads of the following brigade have spent more than ten years in the sky. I know that this deputy secretary who has been working for more than ten years is a little clever, but he doesn't have much skill: " I said Binghe, your old party secretary is not there, you have to carry this burden whenever necessary, and your brigade can’t let me lose the chain on this matter—"

Secretary Qu was retired by the old Red Army. He had fought for little devils and foreign devils. I didn’t know how many times he had bayonet. Although he has been retired for almost 20 years, he stared at him as he spoke. So Guo Binghe quickly nodded his head in fright, and said with a mouth open: "Yes, yes, yes, Secretary Qu has a bright eye and has a lot of opportunities. I am relaxing in my studies. This was not originally intended to be today—"

"Don't think about it. Since it's snowing outside, organize the study during the day and let the educated youth and members rest early in the evening. If the snow stops tomorrow, follow me to the Baihe Reservoir at two o'clock. If it is still snowing , Just set off at seven o'clock in the morning—"

After speaking, Secretary Qu nodded to the brigade captain and the female chief accountant of the militia battalion. He buttoned on the buttons of the coat and put down the ear protectors of the cotton hat. He pulled the gray collar around his neck and wrapped it up before pulling the rope on the ear protectors. He tied a knot on his chin, turned and opened the wooden door of the warehouse, put on his gloves, and walked into the wind and snow outside.

"Secretary Guo, you can't help but count--"

"Secretary Guo, you--"

"Secretary Guo——"

The wide-open wooden door was closed, and the educated youths in the warehouse exploded. They stood up and surrounded Guo Binghe at the door with red ears. You only finished saying one sentence, and you saw that the closed door was opened again. Even Guo Binghe, who was swallowing wildly and didn't know how to deal with it, turned his head and looked at him. He didn't want to follow this look. The whole person seemed to be frozen: "Xiaolian, if you don't stay at home to take care of your mother, why are you here?"

"Father, my mother, the second sister said that my mother is going to give birth, let me come to you—"

The girl is three years younger than Zheng Jianguo. She is Guo Binghe’s youngest girl. Outside, she is covered with a large jacket in the goose feather and snow. Both sleeves are shiny black. At this moment, her small face is cold and white and she is shivering. The foot seems to be stepping on the charcoal fire, and the foot is upside down: "Let you go back quickly—"

"Lao Zhengtou-well, Chunhua and Gu Li go with me, and Ma Daya will prepare the donkey cart. Lao Guo is going to have a son!"

Guo Binghe greeted Zheng Fugui, the old barefoot doctor in the far corner, with a flushed face. He immediately remembered that this was a man. I swallowed the second half of the sentence and searched the crowd. I found Zheng Chunhua, a tall man, and called Gu Li, the barefoot doctor in the educated youth. A guy called the four barefoot doctors in Sanlibao away. After three, then I turned my head and looked at the educated youths around me, spreading my hands with a smile, and said: "You have also seen it. I really want to give you a holiday, but I can't hold it back. Secretary Qu's order was given to me in your presence. Can you tell me that I can resist? Ah! Obey the overall situation and obey the overall situation. In the future, my old Guo will not treat you badly. Let's look behind, and we can't just look at it. Under my nose, I, I'm going to have a son—"

"Grassid?"

Zheng Chunhua, who was a tall Martyr, wrapped her collar tightly, turned her head and greeted Zheng Jianguo, who had squeezed to the stove at some point, and saw him shook his head at the same time, the old father Zheng Fugui’s voice came over: "Chunhua What do you ask Grasshopper to do? You can just go with the old lady's business, secretary, you'd better have someone go and call the old lady Yu--"

When the people in the warehouse heard that Guo Binghe’s daughter-in-law was about to give birth, they were ready to pinch the waist to say that Dingmao is the one of Dingmao. They could only watch him leave with a few people with their mouths open. Quickly glanced at Zheng Jianguo, who was roasting his hands next to the stove, and Zheng Fugui, who was whispering to the accountant, his eyes rolled a few times and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Zheng Jianguo naturally knows what these guys are thinking. It's nothing more than that he has four older sisters on the three-generation single biography of the old Zheng family. The eldest sister Zheng Chunhua who has just gone out starts with spring, summer, autumn and winter, and his age is 22, 20, 19, and 18. He came to him at 15, and Guo Binghe’s family is similar to his own. Now he is also four girls. If he remembers correctly, the young master under Guo Lianhua should be the future Kansai No. 1-he was dragged behind Guo Shengli of target shooting.
