Zhang Shengmin injured his leg and was lying in the shack recuperating from his injuries. After everyone left, Teng Fengqin filled the shack's stove with coffins, and moved some more coffins to the side of the stove so that Zhang Shengmin could reach out and stuff the cask into the stove.
She asked Zhang Shengmin if he wanted to drink water. After everything was arranged, she and Sun Xianghong went down the mountain to find food.
Sun Xianghong saw that Teng Fengqin was smiling, not as listless as yesterday, and said with a smile, "What I said yesterday, as long as you have the skills at hand, you will be fine. This is still on the farm down there. If you are in the battalion hospital, you will have a brighter future. If there is a chance in the future, I still have to go up."
Teng Fengqin said, "I was surprised when the field director asked me to treat him on the spot, and I didn't even dare to think about going to the camp headquarters."
She said she was humble, but in her heart Teng Fengqin was happy, or in a moment of despair, a way suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. Until then, she was still dizzy and couldn't believe that she could be assigned a position.
Director Wang will also recruit her as the farm's doctor. From now on, she will get one more work point per month than others.
Last night, she stayed up all night, thinking about how to find the ancestral medical book of the He family. In the end, she found another way in a desperate situation. She didn't have to look for a book that she might never find.
Seeing that Teng Fengqin was so content, Sun Xianghong laughed at her for being hopeless. She was satisfied with such a small thing, and said that it is correct for people to have lofty ideals and ambitions.
Teng Fengqin also listened carefully, but it was obvious that she was content with being a doctor and could not listen to any opinions. When she went to look for fish at the bottom of the mountain, she was more energetic than usual.
She also told Sun Xianghong, "Put the shoes by the stove to warm them. The shoes washed yesterday can be dried tomorrow."
Sun Xianghong was not as optimistic as she was, "Hurry up and look for fish. If you carry it to the mountain, you have to go back to fetch water. We were almost late for dinner yesterday."
Teng Fengqin no longer felt sad, and in turn advised Sun Xianghong, "Take your time, everyone will understand. At worst, everyone will eat a little later and treat it as rest."
Sun Xianghong smiled and said, "They say things are different when you become a cadre. I didn't feel it before, but today I feel it is like this."
Teng Fengqin's face turned slightly red, "What's the point of being an official? I'm just a field doctor, and the field director can trust me. I'll have to work harder in the future."
Sun Xianghong said, "Yes, cadres must take the lead, so that our farm can get better and better."
The two returned to the mountain to put down the fish, and walked to the stream with the dirty clothes and buckets they had changed from yesterday.
At the logging site on the mountain, He Siwei and the others did not take a break at noon today. They loaded all the wood onto the sledges in one go and then everyone rested. After that, they no longer had to cut down trees today. Instead, everyone made sledges to load the wood tomorrow.
Spring in the Great Northern Wilderness came late, but once it came it was very energetic. After the snow melted, the mountain wind became stronger. There was no green in the mountains. Today, He Siwei actually saw primroses.
From a distance, there is no green on the mountain, but it is yellow.
Only one branch had bloomed, and it was on the sunny side. There was a tree blocking it behind. This place was wind-proof and sunny enough, and the temperature was high. She called Tang Shuang to come over and take a look.
This primrose brings hope and drives away the cold.
Everyone usually endures the cold, but they are all waiting, looking forward to the warmth of spring and the flowers blooming.
Now that the flowers were blooming, Tang Shuang grabbed them directly and raised his hands to the people behind him, "The primroses are blooming, spring is here."
Everyone showed joy.
Spring, for them, is the best season of the year. There are no mosquitoes, no cold, and endless wild vegetables.
Wang Jianguo said, "In our Great Northern Wilderness, our spring will not come until the peach blossoms in the south have fallen. In mid-April, there is no trace of green, but if you look carefully, you can see patches of yellow, which are the buds of the trees. And primroses, wait a few days, and poplar flowers will appear. Strong winds blow for about a week, and the melted wet ground will be dried by the wind, and green will slowly emerge. It gives the illusion that spring will appear overnight. Now, everything is awake."
Tang Shuang smiled and said, "Director, you are so observant."
Wang Jianguo said, "Although the Great Northern Wilderness is desolate and has not been developed, the beauty of the Great Northern Wilderness cannot be denied."
Wang Jianguo talked about their land reclamation. He said that they were in the swamp, with endless grassland and thin fog. Every step they took, they had to push aside the grass and step on the grass so that they could find a path. , the grass is as dense as a wall. In this environment, they used 14 tractors to clear more than 1,000 hectares of land.
Wang Jianguo's story suddenly stopped and he said, "Isn't the story nice? I'm not telling you to listen to the story, but to let you pay attention to what happens next. When we opened up a new farm, a fire broke out in the first year, and people and materials were destroyed. Suffering losses. Although I have only felt the spring wind in the capital, in my opinion there is no stronger wind than the spring wind in Beidahuang. It has been obviously windy these days, so everyone should pay attention to fire prevention."
Everyone agreed in unison, but no one took the words seriously.
It's still so cold now, the snow has melted, but the ground is still frozen, so it's so easy to catch fire.
Back at the camp in the evening, the men were in high spirits and couldn't help but talk about what happened in the afternoon. Sun Xianghong asked curiously what happened, and Jiang Shulin told Wang Jianguo that they were engaged in land reclamation.
Sun Xianghong listened with rapt attention. Xiao Shougen in the crowd saw the admiration and admiration in Sun Xianghong's eyes, and he slowly lowered his eyes.
After listening to this, Sun Xianghong reminded everyone, "The spring breeze is strong now. Everyone should pay attention to fire prevention, especially the fire. Cover the sparks with soil before going to bed. This cannot be careless."
Everyone responded casually, but no one took it to heart.
Although I eat one meal of fish every day and cornstarch batter in the morning, my rations are still gradually decreasing.
In the evening, while everyone dispersed to rest, Sun Xianghong explained the situation and also talked about the issue of water.
"Teng Fengqin and I spend more than half of our time looking for food every day, and then rushing to pick up water. Just like what happened tonight, we had late dinner. I was thinking if I could find some male workers to help me pick up water first tomorrow. water?"
Wang Jianguo was easy to talk to, so he directly called Guo Zhensheng over, "You can find two people tomorrow and bring back a few buckets of water before going to the logging site."
Guo Zhensheng said, "I'm going to arrange people now."
Wang Jianguo also planned to return to the shack. Seeing that Sun Xianghong had not left, he asked her, "Is there anything else?"
Sun Xianghong said, "Director, are you sick? Your face is red and you have a fever?"
With that said, she stretched out her hand to touch Wang Jianguo's forehead. Wang Jianguo turned his head slightly and took two steps back to distance himself from her.
Sun Xianghong was also startled, and immediately retracted her hand and said, "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't think much about it."
Wang Jianguo glanced at Sun Xianghong, said it was okay, and turned to leave.
He Siwei was also at the stove, but she was bent over and baking her shoes with the ashes in the stove, so no one noticed. She didn't expect to see this scene, and she bent down again after standing up. .
