The news that Guo Zhensheng had shot two rabbits had long been spread at the logging site. Thinking of the good food he would have at night, everyone was particularly energetic when working. Especially when they saw Zhao Yongmei and Hu Juan carrying the rabbits down the mountain, everyone was even more looking forward to it. Call it a day.
In the evening, as soon as I returned to the camp, I could smell the aroma of meat. Two rabbits were eaten by nineteen people. Each person could share very little, and everyone was satisfied. From the Chinese New Year to now, leaving aside the fish, everyone had a serious meal. There was almost no time to eat, but after seeing that everyone only shared a few pieces of meat and a lunch box of soup, and there was nothing else to eat, no one could help but express doubts.
Zhao Yongmei was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it. She had to explain every time she served someone a meal. Facing the strange looks that came over her, Zhao Yongmei lowered her head lower and lower. After serving everyone, her whole body was numb.
There was no one else on the stove. Zhao Yongmei held back her anger and called Hu Juan in a bad tone, "Zokeng is almost blushing because of you staring at it. Let's go and find the director. Get through today. Don't say anything in the next six days." , I haven’t decided yet what to eat tomorrow morning.”
Hu Juan followed Zhao Yongmei like a puppet on strings.
Sun Xianghong came out of the shack and saw Zhao Yongmei and Hu Juan walking towards the male workers' shack. She stopped them and asked them what they were doing.
Since April has entered and the mountain wind has gotten stronger, lighting fires in the camp has been cancelled, so we always go back to the shack for meals.
Zhao Yongmei stopped and explained the rations to Sun Xianghong.
Sun Xianghong said, "It's not because you two are incompetent. You both say you eat from the mountains and from the rivers. The grass hasn't sprouted yet. What kind of food can you find on this mountain?"
Everyone understands this truth, but if others look for food to prevent everyone from going hungry, why does it fall to you?
With contrast, naturally there will be dissatisfaction.
Zhao Yongmei said, "You can complete the task, which means that the problem lies with me and Hu Juan."
Sun Xianghong waved her hand to interrupt her, "It's getting late. You should go quickly. We still need to discuss what to eat tomorrow morning, right?"
Zhao Yongmei's face became hot again, she nodded casually, and walked away quickly with Hu Juan.
Sun Xianghong watched the two people leave, walked to the stove, and put the lunch box and the water in it on the stove. The stove was still warm, and the lunch box was placed on the stove. After a while, the water inside became warm. Sun Xianghong As soon as I got up with the lunch box, Zhao Yongmei and Hu Juan came back.
She asked, "Is it done so quickly?"
Zhao Yongmei said yes.
Sun Xianghong took the lunch box, walked up to the two of them, took a look, "Are you being punished?"
Zhao Yongmei said, "It's okay to be trained. The field director didn't say anything. He only said that we should go back and rest early. We have to cook tomorrow morning."
Sun Xianghong was stunned for a moment, "Is the farm manager out of food?"
Zhao Yongmei said, "We were not allowed to speak at all."
Sun Xianghong muttered, "It's not like the director's temper," and comforted Zhao Yongmei and the others not to worry, and they would figure out a solution together when they got back.
Unless he sees food now, no matter how good he is, he will not be able to comfort Zhao Yongmei. As he is about to reach the door of the shack, Sun Xianghong stops, stops Zhao Yongmei, and asks Hu Juan to go back first.
Hu Juan didn't stop. She had suffered enough for this day. Besides, she was menstruating again and her stomach hurt all the time.
Seeing Hu Juan go in, Sun Xianghong pulled Zhao Yongmei deeper into the area. When he was under the tree, he made sure no one spoke, "He Siwei, is there anything to eat there?"
Zhao Yongmei understood what she meant, but also reminded Sun Xianghong, "It is a personal thing, how can she take it out and share it with everyone."
Sun Xianghong said, "Of course she doesn't get it for free. We treat it as loaned to her by our factory, or she can directly use her work points to offset it."
Zhao Yongmei rejected the proposal without hesitation. She said, "Sister Xiang Hong, you are the only one who can help me think of a solution at this time. I know you want to help me, but the director no longer wants to mention this matter. Where should I go?" Siwei Na, if He Siwei disagrees, the director has another opinion."
Sun Xianghong asked her, "This won't work, and that won't work either, so what do you think we should do?"
Zhao Yongmei doesn’t know.
Seeing her cowardly look, Sun Xianghong lost his patience and said, "Forget it, you can think about it yourself, I can't persuade you."
Sun Xianghong left. Zhao Yongmei could tell that she was unhappy, so he followed her back to the shack without explaining.
At night, He Siwei was woken up by screams. When he woke up, he heard someone outside saying there was a fire and shouting to put out the fire.
There must have been a huge fire outside, and the shack was already illuminated without lighting a kerosene lamp.
With a bang, the shack door was kicked open.
Xiao Shougen stood at the door and shouted, "Come out quickly, the fire is coming to you."
When the few people who were still in shock heard this, they got up and turned around to pack their things. Xiao Shougen's anxious voice at the door became louder.
"What is more important, things or people? Come out quickly."
Wang Jianguo also rushed over at this time, and he was also urging, "Don't worry about things, come out first."
Under the urging of the two people, He Siwei noticed the smell of smoke in the shack. Through the firelight coming from the roof of the shack, he could faintly see that the shack was shrouded in smoke.
She slept at the door of the shack, which was most beneficial to her at this time. She rushed to the door first with her two bags, not caring about the quilt. Xiao Shougen rushed in, and the two of them staggered. He Siwei came to the door. At this time, Wang Jianguo took the things and reminded her to follow.
Wang Jianguo first took He Siwei to the intersection going down the mountain from the camp and handed the things to He Siwei.
There were fires everywhere in the camp, the wind was so strong that it hurt people's eyes, and their noses were filled with the smell of smoke.
Wang Jianguo said seriously, "Go down the mountain and deliver the letter to the camp headquarters."
He Siwei pursed his lips and said, "Director, am I the only one to go?"
Wang Jianguo said, "There is also Lao Shen. I will go find him now and ask him to accompany you."
He Siwei nodded and said, "Director, fighting mountain fires is very dangerous and the wind is strong. If it cannot be extinguished, life is still important."
Wang Jianguo said, "I know, don't worry, you and Lao Shen will rush to the camp headquarters as soon as possible."
Without further words, Wang Jianguo left, and the camp was in chaos. There were shouts and shouts everywhere. Through the blazing fire, you could see the employees holding things to pat the fire, but the wind was strong and it didn't work at all.
At this time, all the female employees came out one by one and gathered around He Siwei. Sun Xianghong counted them and said "Hey, why is Hu Juan missing?"
The fire has already set the roof of the female worker's shack on fire, making the shack look like a high bonfire.
Tang Shuang exclaimed, "When I came out, I saw Hu Juan rushing back and saying she had something to get."
Zhao Yongmei said loudly, "Nonsense, she is still thinking about her personal belongings at this time. Does she have a collective spirit?"
Sun Xianghong said to Zhao Yongmei, "Take Tang Shuang over to have a look, and I'll take Teng Fengqin to the male employees to help."
