At this time, it was almost the end of the year, and the project had reached a very difficult stage.

Except for the elderly and underage babies with limited mobility, all the available labor in Xinghua Village went into battle, even women and half-grown babies were no exception. Even the children who go to school in the commune middle school have to work for a while when they come home on Sunday and pass by the construction site. Every day, 200 to 300 people are working the construction site, digging out of the mountain.

After a long period of overloading, the villagers gradually became a little unbearable. When it's time to take a break, there will be a group of people lying on the cold ground. There are those who close their eyes to recuperate, those who fall asleep soundly, those who complain, and those who curse the heavens and the earth, and so on. It should be said that the villagers have tried their best, and there are very few people who cheat and cheat. After all, the construction period is too long, and there is no rest interval, which makes the whole day tiring, and people can't help but complain. Many people's palms have been blistered, and when a layer is broken, a layer of calluses has formed.

On the construction site, there are those who have smashed their fingers and insteps, some have sprained their calves and hips, and there are even typhoid fever and fever. Xylophone transferred the National Day to the construction site, and brought half of the medicines in the pharmacy to the construction site, giving injections and medicines to the injured and sick at any time. Even so, there are still a few people who can't go to work normally every day, squatting at home to recuperate and heal their injuries. Xylophone still gritted his teeth, ruthlessly, and saw Tian'er soaking on the construction site, supervising the slow progress of the project. She herself was no exception, and she volunteered to be incorporated into a commando team and threw herself into the arduous work of the project together with the villagers.

What's more, the little money raised in the early stage is about to be exhausted. Although Secretary Shen has already spoken, it is necessary to meet all the materials needed for the supply of Xinghua Village project. However, he did not explicitly say that it should be offered at a discount or for free. Even if all that money is spent on the purchase of detonator explosives, it will not be enough. Zhenfu saw Tian'er muttering about money in Muqin's ear, saying that this thing was going to be bought, and that thing was gone, which made Muqin weak and short of breath. As soon as she heard Zhenfu's voice, her head grew big, but she couldn't do anything about it. I had to stay up one day at a time and slowly find a way.

Mao Lin was a little worried, so he discussed with Xylophone whether to take a few days off and let the villagers rest. It not only settles down some things at home, but also rests and recuperates. The xylophone is not unaware of the labor of the villagers. She herself felt physically exhausted. However, she did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Secretary Shen of the commune has clearly instructed that the commune will prepare to hold a commune-wide winter farmland and water conservancy construction site meeting in Xinghua Village in these days, and county leaders will be invited to participate in the meeting. In particular, he had to drag the county magistrate Du here to see the winter scene of Beishan Commune to plug his hurtful stinky mouth. Xylophone also wanted to rest for a few days and let the villagers take a breath. If we continue to do this endlessly, I'm afraid everyone will be tired. When Secretary Shen heard the idea of the xylophone, he immediately became angry, saying that now that he was at the end of his life, how could he stop work. Even if you are tired to death, you have to nail it to the construction site and not be allowed to retreat. If the construction site of Xinghua Village is stopped before the on-site meeting is held, he will resolutely ask the xylophone. Xylophone was helpless, so he had to see Tian'er supervise the progress and quality of the project.

The road construction site slowly moved forward, gradually moving away from the house. It is very inconvenient to eat and rest at noon. You can't tell the villagers who are so tired that their bones are falling apart that they should walk a short distance home for dinner at noon, and then walk back to work. In this way, it will only increase the hardship of the villagers in vain. Therefore, Zhenfu first proposed to install a big stove on the construction site, and the villagers would gather together to stew a big pot of vegetables. The villagers bring their own dry food at noon every day and eat a big pot of dishes. Have a hot meal. In this way, you can save your legs and feet from the round trip, and you can also take time to rest. No, I'm afraid no one can withstand such physical labor. Muqin immediately agreed, saying that the money for the vegetables would be paid by the brigade, and all the people on the construction site would eat it with their stomachs open for free.
