The destination this time is production and construction of troops.
The production and construction army is not a 100% militarized organization. Most of the time, it assumes more of the important responsibilities of "production" and "construction".
At that time, there were a total of 12 similar "production and construction units" in the country, plus 3 "agricultural construction divisions".
Production and construction troops are directly managed by the higher authorities and have no affiliation with the local government.
It has a series of demilitarized units including political and legal, culture and education, finance, commerce, foreign trade, and taxation.
It can be said that it is a relatively independent small social and economic system.
In addition, production and construction troops are located in peripheral areas, so the possibility of being affected is relatively small.
Moreover, Li Yunlong's former subordinates held important positions in the production and construction department, so Lao Huang placed Li Yunlong there.
On the truck.
Li Weidong grasped the steering wheel with both hands, and while chatting with Tian Yu, he controlled the truck and sped toward the northeast.
Compared with Tian Yu, who was talkative, Li Yunlong seemed a little quiet after answering a few questions from Li Weidong.
He looked at the receding scenery outside the window and sighed: "I didn't expect that I, Old Li, would be a deserter one day. It's really embarrassing."
Li Weidong turned the steering wheel, bypassed an ox cart, and said with a smile: "I once said that knowing the male and guarding the female are the streams of the world. In other words, retreating is a better attack."
"I? I'm still a grandfather!" Li Yunlong widened his iconic cowbell eyes.
Li Weidong couldn't help but hold his forehead. Where is this?
Tian Yu glared back at Li Yunlong: "Weidong is talking about the Lao Tzu who wrote the De Jing, not your Lao Tzu. After so many years, I have asked you to study more, but you always say you are busy. Now you are embarrassed, right?"
With such a fiery temper, Li Yunlong couldn't admit defeat. He slapped the dashboard and said, "Don't worry about him. I, Li Yunlong, have become a coward this time."
Both Li Weidong and Tian Yu knew that Li Yunlong was feeling aggrieved, so they refused to talk to him, and the truck fell into silence.
It's just that the instrument panel offends whomever...
------------------
Since there was no way to stay in a state-run hotel, Li Weidong could only park his truck on a small road in the countryside when it was getting dark.
There are groves on one side of the path and a small river on the other, which is perfect for spending the night.
"Uncle, it's getting dark and it's not safe to drive at night. We have to spend the night here." Li Weidong opened the door and jumped out, pulling out the prepared tarp from the bed: "The location in the cab is too It’s too small to accommodate so many of us, so we can only put up a tent for one night.”
Li Yunlong was born in 1910 and is now in his fifties. It is appropriate for Li Weidong to call him uncle.
"Camp in the wild, I'm good at this!" Li Yunlong was happy.
When he was fighting in the north and south, he often spent the night in the wild.
With the help of Li Yunlong, Li Weidong tied the four corners of the tarp to the big tree, cut two wooden stakes as roof beams, and then a simple tent was set up.
The children of Li Yunlong and Tian Gang seemed to be very interested in camping. After jumping out of the truck, they gathered together and chatted.
"Zhao Shui, I heard that it's very cold in the northeast. You have to carry a stick to go to the latrine."
"Don't scare me. I lived in the Northeast when I was a child."
"..."
Li Weidong came down with a pot of gasoline. When he saw Li Yunlong looking at the children in a daze, he shook his head with a wry smile and walked over.
After talking all the way, he found that Li Yunlong's mind still had not changed.
Even if he goes to the Northeast, trouble will still arise according to his temperament.
Li Weidong took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Yunlong, lighting it with a match.
He took Li Yunlong's cigarette, held the cigarette butt against the cigarette butt, and took a deep breath.
"hiss...."
"call...."
Returning the cigarette to Li Yunlong, Li Weidong looked at the children and said in a deep voice: "Brother Yunlong, look at how happy the children are together."
Li Yunlong nodded: "Yes, I really envy them. They are all at a vigorous age and will definitely contribute to the country in the future."
Li Weidong said: "Have you ever thought about it, the reason why children can be carefree is because of your big tree, which helps them hold up the sky.
If the big tree fell, they would have to face the cold wind.
Sometimes, the cold wind can freeze people to death. "
"The cold wind... can freeze people to death..." Li Yunlong felt a chill in his heart and had a sob in his throat for a long time.
He is not that kind of brainless, otherwise he would not be sitting in the position of commander of the Coast Guard.
The reason why he persists is because he never takes his own honor or disgrace to heart.
But, the kids...
Li Weidong saw that the smoke in his hand had burned to the end, almost burning his hand without knowing it, and understood that he had listened.
Yes, everything that needs to be done has been done.
If Li Yunlong can't figure it out, there's nothing anyone can do.
Li Weidong stood up to prepare dinner. Tian Yu quietly came over to help: "Weidong, thank you."
As Li Yunlong's wife, she once felt that no one in this world could persuade Li Yunlong to bow his head.
She can't do it with Tian Yu, she can't do it with Zhao Gang, and she can't even do it with Chu Yunfei.
Unexpectedly, this little driver could change Li Yunlong's mind with just a few words.
Li Weidong smiled faintly, said nothing, and took out a bag of white-faced steamed buns from under the seat.
"Auntie, we're driving around outside and there's nothing delicious to eat. Let's eat steamed buns soaked in sugar water at night."
Soaking steamed buns in sugar water is a method invented by the driver.
Boil a pot of water, sprinkle in brown sugar, break the steamed buns into small pieces and throw them in.
After finishing the drink, I felt warm and happy all over.
It’s easy to make and you don’t even need to clean the pot.
So every time Li Weidong runs out, he likes to make steamed buns soaked in sugar water.
Tian Yu didn't expect to be able to eat brown sugar water and steamed buns in the wilderness, so naturally he nodded: "That's enough. If you have brown sugar to eat, the children will definitely like it."
Li Weidong saw Li Yunlong squatting there like a statue, and did not disturb Li Yunlong.
"Auntie, you watch the children while I go chop some firewood."
Carrying the machete, he entered the forest. There was a lot of dry firewood in the forest, and Li Weidong quickly chopped down a large bundle.
However, considering that he was camping at night and had to light a bonfire all night, he continued to chop with the machete.
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of gunshots in the distance, startling the birds in the forest and flying away.
Li Weidong picked up two large bundles of firewood and ran quickly to the tent.
After seeing that Tian Yu and the children were all well, he felt relieved, threw away the firewood and asked, "What's going on? Who fired the shot?"
"Me!" A voice full of vicissitudes of life came from the distance.
I saw Li Yunlong walking out of the forest carrying a hare dripping with blood.
"I, Lao Li, never owe anyone any favors. I ate your white-flour steamed buns and gave you a hare as a gift."
Seeing the spark of hope shining in Li Yunlong's eyes, Tian Yu was relieved.
The corners of her eyes were moist. She secretly turned her head and wiped them with a handkerchief.
Li Weidong glanced sideways at Li Yunlong: "Old Li, how can a rabbit do it? Where are the children? Where is Tian Yu?"
Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, threw the rabbit to Li Weidong, turned around and entered the forest again.
.......
The night slid down the mountain ridge quietly like a wild wolf, swallowing up all the sounds.
There was silence in the grove, and only the sound of crackling firewood and sparks could be heard.
Li Weidong squatted in front of the bonfire with a rocker in hand.
There are four hares on the rocker.
Don't tell me, just wrap the end of the crank handle with rags and use it as a barbecue fork, it's just right.
The hare was licked by the bright red flames, dripping oil and emitting a rich fragrance.
Li Yunlong, who had just eaten a large bowl of sugar-soaked buns, couldn't help but swallow and spit: "Little driver, I didn't expect you to be really capable. You can even pull off such a weird trick."
Li Weidong smiled: "Didn't you also find the commander of the Seventh Division, Chang Naichao, by letting the prisoners run in circles?"
Mentioning the past, Li Yunlong's eyes flashed with memories, and he said sincerely: "Chang Naichao's physical fitness is not good, and he would be a coward when he was a soldier, but in theory he has a way, and I got a lot of good things from him. "
Li Yunlong's greatest advantage is that he can turn other people's things into his own.
This is true for arms and equipment, and so is military knowledge.
At this time, the hare has been roasted, and the alluring fragrance grips everyone's stomach.
Especially the children could no longer sit still.
Li Jian and Li Kang couldn't help but said: "Brother Wei Dong, can you eat it?"
Zhao Shan, Zhao Gao, Zhao Shui and Zhao Chang also kept swallowing.
Li Weidong smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll add some seasoning."
He took out a bag from his pocket and sprinkled the powder in the bag onto the roasted hare. The smell of the hare suddenly became even more delicious.
Li Yunlong took a deep breath and gave a thumbs up: "You really know how to live a good life."
Li Weidong smiled and handed the roasted hare to Tian Yu and asked him to share it with several children. Then he handed one to Li Yunlong and picked up one himself to nibble on.
The powder is the real Thirteen Incense, which is ground from thirteen pure natural spices. It was made by Li Weidong by drawing on the creativity of later generations of Thirteen Incense.
Really? Thirteen incense is easy to carry and effective. It was immediately praised by experienced drivers as soon as it came out.
Nowadays, drivers always carry a bag with them when they get out of the car.
------------------
Camping in the wild is easier than you think. The campfire is always lit, the tent is warm, and wild animals dare not approach.
And with Li Yunlong as a powerful general, Li Weidong was relieved and slept until dawn.
After washing his face by the river, Tian Yu had already heated up the remaining rabbit meat from yesterday and took a simple bite. Li Weidong drove the truck and set off again.
After three days of traveling, the truck finally arrived in Northeast China.
The weather suddenly became cold and snowflakes were falling outside.
Fortunately, it hasn't snowed heavily these days, otherwise the truck's wheels would have slipped.
The road conditions were not good, and Li Weidong became more focused. Li Yunlong seemed to be looking forward to the future, staring out of the car window.
Suddenly, the truck "stuck" and stopped.
Tian Yu asked from behind: "What happened?"
Li Weidong looked at the middle of the road and frowned: "There is a big tree blocking the road ahead."
"Isn't it just a big tree? I can just get out of the car and move it away." As he spoke, Li Yunlong wanted to open the car door and get out of the car.
But his arm was held by Li Weidong, who shook his head at him: "Don't get out of the car, something is wrong."
Li Yunlong disagreed: "So what if something is wrong! I don't believe that anyone can do anything to me."
As he spoke, he pulled out a pistol from his waist, broke away from Li Weidong's pull, and prepared to get out of the car.
But he was pulled back by Li Weidong. Li Yunlong frowned: "Weidong, what do you want?"
Li Weidong looked serious: "Uncle, this is my car, you must follow my rules!"
Li Yunlong stared back at Li Weidong. Seeing that Li Weidong had no intention of backing down, he could only let go of the door handle angrily and sat back in his seat.
Li Weidong turned to look behind Tian Yu and said, "Tian Yu, no matter what happens later, just take care of a few children."
Li Jian came out from behind Tian Yu: "Brother Wei Dong, I'm not afraid!"
The remaining children also nodded.
Li Yunlong gave a thumbs up: "What a good boy, you are worthy of being my son."
Zhao Shan raised his little face and said, "My father is Zhao Gang."
"Ang, is dad here?" Zhao Chang, who had just woken up, stuck out his head.
Li Yunlong: ".........."
.....
Li Weidong could confirm that the trees on the road were placed there intentionally.
This method of hijacking roads is common, and every sports car driver has encountered it.
As long as you open the car door and step out, the robbers hiding aside will rush out.
This situation is easy to solve, and the skills of Li Weidong and Li Yunlong are enough to deal with it.
The most terrifying thing is that the robbers don't show up, but secretly shoot you down with one shot.
Most of the robbers were hunters in the mountains and forests, and their marksmanship was very accurate.
You cannot get off the bus.
Then there is only one way.
Thinking of this, Li Weidong stepped on the clutch and shifted into reverse gear. The truck slowly moved backwards, making a gesture of turning around.
really.
A crisp gunshot rang out, and four or five young men wearing tattered cotton-padded jackets, their faces covered with towels, and felt hats rushed out from behind the hillside.
Seeing the bullet hole at the front of the car, Li Yunlong felt scared.
If he had just got out of the car rashly, he would have fallen down by now based on the opponent's shooting skills.
This time thanks to Li Weidong.
He wanted to apologize to Li Weidong, so he opened his mouth but made no sound.
Just kidding, he, Lao Li, has only apologized to one person in his life - Xiu Qin.
When the robbers saw the truck stopped, they also stopped slowly and shouted loudly: "People in the car, listen, we are only interested in wealth and not life. Get out of here. I can get around you." One life, otherwise don’t blame the guy in my hand for not having eyes.”
Li Weidong rolled down the window and shouted outside: "Brothers, I'm really sorry today. I really didn't bring anything with me. The trucks are also full of machinery and are all marked. You can't sell them for money, okay? Convenient, how about it?”
"Hahaha, if you don't have anything, you can leave people behind. I saw them just now. There were a few girls sitting in the car. Grandpa just needs a wife." The leader of the robbers looked proud while carrying a shotgun.
Before he finished speaking, there was a crisp gunshot, and he felt intense heat in his legs. He could no longer stand still and swayed to the ground.
He looked at the front of the car in disbelief: "Is this so possible?"
After Li Weidong fired a shot, he shouted: "Brother Yunlong, let's get started!"
Li Yunlong reacted, took out his pistol and shot outside.
The four or five robbers did not expect that the people in the car would shoot.
In the past, as long as they fired a few shots to scare the driver, the driver would surrender obediently.
After all, the goods in the car belong to the unit, and the driver's life belongs to him.
Now that the boss is down, they still run for their lives.
The robbers turned around and ran into the woods. Li Weidong was not ready to chase them. He was about to open the car door and walk over to move the big tree away.
Come and try it quickly. 】
But Li Yunlong grabbed his wrist: "Damn it, the robbery is on the head of labor and management. Those people in 203 still didn't do it clean enough back then. How many years ago, they came out again. Today they have to be killed." Cleaned up!"
