According to Wang Jianguo's opinion, everyone returned to the tent. No one touched the biscuits that were distributed. They kept the precious cookies in their jacket pockets and ate only the candies.
When Tang Shuang divided the things, he said it belonged to He Siwei and took it out for everyone.
After going through so much, everyone felt that He Siwei had taken advantage of him when it came to finding food, so when Hu Juan came forward, no one stood up to object. At that time, they could pretend to be deaf and dumb, but now?
A woman, the youngest among them all, has such a broad mind, do they really not blush? Can you really accept these foods calmly?
Condemned by conscience, everyone fell into silence when they saw the cookies.
Xiao Shougen had already soaked the biscuits in a lunch box, "This is borrowed from a female employee. There are three more. Everyone takes turns."
After soaking two pieces of dough biscuits in hot water, they took up half of the lunch box. They were sweet and had a light milky taste.
As this mouthful of hot food filled my hungry stomach, the pinching pain slowly dissipated.
Xiao Shougen sighed in his heart, even a person like him was conquered by He Siwei's style. It is admirable that a little girl can do this.
With Xiao Shougen taking the lead, everyone also started to take action.
By the time Wang Jianguo came in, everyone had basically finished eating. Only Wang Guodong and Wang Jianguo came in later. Wang Jianguo asked Wang Guodong to find some wood. After dark, there was still a fire in the tent.
Wang Jianguo took the initiative to sit next to Xiao Shougen. He ignored the injury on his leg and said, "You were the first to discover the fire last night. Can you see where the fire started?"
On the mountain, Xiao Shougen shouted that there was a fire. When everyone got up, the fire spread to the staff shacks driven by the wind.
I was busy putting out the fire at that time, so I didn't have time to ask how the fire started.
Wang Jianguo said that after people come to the camp, there must be an explanation for this.
Xiao Shougen thought about it carefully and said, "What I saw at that time was the fire spreading. I wasn't sure where it started. There were no sparks outside, but it was the stove."
With that said, Xiao Shougen asked Wang Guodong to call Zhao Yongmei and Hu Juan, "They were the two who cooked the food yesterday. Let's ask them."
It was not just two people who came over. Sun Xianghong was supported by Teng Fengqin and also came over.
Xiao Shougen said, "Sun Zhiqing, you were injured, why did you come with me?"
Sun Xianghong sat in the seat vacated by the male employee, her face was pale and her mouth was trembling slightly, "It's okay, I'll come over and listen."
Xiao Shougen said nothing and asked Zhao Yongmei calmly, "After you finished cooking last night, was the stove mouth blocked?"
When Wang Guodong called her over, Zhao Yongmei's heart was raised. The distance to here was not far, and her heart had not calmed down yet, and her mind was in chaos. When Xiao Shougen asked, Zhao Yongmei was still in a daze.
Hu Juan stood aside and replied, "Director, Zhao Yongmei asked you to talk to you about tomorrow's rations. When the two of us got up, I blocked the stone at the entrance of the stove pit and took care of everything."
Wang Jianguo asked, "Are you sure everything is blocked?"
Hu Juan said, "I'm sure, after we left your place..."
Zhao Yongmei kept beating her, "After we came out from your place, we were thinking about food rations. We also asked Sun Zhiqing to think of a solution, but later we couldn't think of a solution. Who knew that there would be a fire at night."
She did not look at Hu Juan and continued, "Director, we can be sure that the stove was handled very well at that time and there will definitely be no problems. However, the wind was very strong that night. I am worried that the stones may have been piled sideways. , Mars was brought out from inside?"
Wang Jianguo glanced at her, then turned to look at Hu Juan, "What did you want to say just now?"
Hu Juan said, "What Zhao Yongmei said is what I want to say."
Wang Jian asked her, "Is there really nothing more to say?"
Hu Juan shook her head.
Wang Jianguo looked around the two of them and said, "The mountain fire was caused by the camp. When the camp sends people over, they will have to go back to the mountain to check after the mountain fire is extinguished. If you are negligent in your duties, this can be forgiven." , if it is intentionally concealed, you also know what the consequences will be, so I won’t say more."
Hu Juan wanted to say, but was interrupted by Zhao Yongmei. The people present saw this.
As Wang Jianguo's warning came out, Zhao Yongmei's hands hidden under her sleeves slowly clenched into fists.
After leaving the tent, Zhao Yongmei asked Teng Fengqin to help Sun Xianghong go back. She called Hu Juan to talk to the side.
The two were far away from the camp before Zhao Yongmei asked her in a low voice, "Hu Juan, are you pretending to be confused because you understand?"
Hu Juan lowered her head, "What if we don't tell the truth? It was the two of us who cooked that day and the camp asked us to be responsible?"
Zhao Yongmei gritted her teeth and said duplicitously, "No, such a big wildfire is the responsibility of the field and will not be attributed to us personally."
Hu Juan raised her head and glared at Zhao Yongmei, "Sun Xianghong was at the stove that day. I didn't say it was her, and there was nothing wrong with reporting it to the director."
Zhao Yongmei said, "No one knows how the fire started. It's not a problem with the stove. Why did you bring Sun Xianghong in? Aren't you complicating the matter? Okay, just keep this in mind. No one is allowed to tell anyone from now on."
Hu Juan lowered her head and twisted her clothes with her hands.
Seeing that she was being honest, Zhao Yongmei turned around and walked away. After taking two steps, she heard Hu Juan asking her from behind, "Don't tell He Siwei?"
Zhao Yongmei looked back at her and said nothing.
Hu Juan raised her eyebrows and raised her chin slightly. She still looked like her daughter-in-law had been annoyed just now. When she walked past Zhao Yongmei, she even snorted.
If you look at it, you will know that bullying the weak and fearing the strong is not honest in front of He Siwei.
Zhao Yongmei was delighted by her villainous demeanor.
I thought to myself, forget it, there's no point in arguing with her, it's a pointless thing.
In the tent, everyone was tired after a day and night of hard work. They lay on the raised wooden bunks with nothing to spread under them. As soon as they closed their eyes, they fell asleep quickly.
He Siwei was sleeping deeply. When Wang Guodong asked Zhao Yongmei and the others to come over, her eyelids were twitching and she had no intention of paying attention to it.
When she was really woken up, people from the battalion headquarters arrived. Ten trucks and more than 300 people came. Battalion Commander Deng personally came to take command.
The mountain fire had burned to the bottom of the mountain. After Deng Shiqing arrived, he first took people to the foot of the mountain. After observing the fire, he immediately asked the people around him to make arrangements.
Instead of asking anyone to light a fire, he isolated a fire escape in the grass at the foot of the mountain. The people who followed him all brought shovels. After receiving the order, they pulled up a long team and started digging the fire escape.
The truck went directly to the foot of the mountain. When Wang Jianguo and others came over, Deng Shiqing had already arranged the work. He heard Jiang Lifeng say that Field Manager Wang was here, so he walked over.
Wang Jianguo looked ashamed and said, "Battle Commander Deng, it was my dereliction of duty."
