Chapter 19: A Touching Trick of Diverting Water
For a long time after that, in the mountains of Linjiang County, a grand construction site stretching for 18 kilometers was displayed in front of people day and night:
Xin Xian, a senior county official, heads of various departments of the county party committee, secretaries of relevant communes, etc., as well as Yu An, who was responsible for the design, almost the elite elements of the county, plus more than 10,000 farmers in simple clothes, sometimes under the scorching sun, sometimes drenched in heavy rain, were busy all over the mountains.
They carved out open spaces in the forest, erected high bridges, repaired roads, surveyed works......
During the day, they carried materials and tools to the construction site on their shoulders, and they erected overpasses and built aqueducts with bricks, sand, and hoes with steel hammers and man-powered carts, relying entirely on manual labor.
At night, the cliffs, stone caves, and mat sheds around the construction site, the dim lights swayed their tired figures.
It's not a battlefield, it's like a battlefield, how many days and nights, eating and sleeping in the dew, wearing the stars and the moon, fighting the heavens and the earth.
Since the day the migrant workers gathered, I don't know how many days and nights have passed, Xin Xian has not returned home, the construction site is home, nor has he returned to the office, the construction site is the office. He came to the construction site early every day, and every day, he had to see the groups of people who had never returned home like him.
also never returned home, as well as Yu An, Qin's father, the old farmer, thousands of people.
In the qin family, the qin's mother, Qin's brother, Qin's sister, and Qin's grandmother often run to the construction site, going back and forth for several kilometers of mountain roads, but they often shuttle back and forth on this mountain road, delivering clothes, food, tea, and water.
Qin Yin has not been home for a long time, she suggested to Xin Xian to set up a radio station at the construction site, on-site interviews, on-site broadcasts. Xin Xian approved the suggestion on the spot, and built a simple shed and erected a loudspeaker on the high ground on one side of the construction site.
Qin Yin felt that something was still missing, so she privately found a wooden board and wrote a plaque with red water "War Radio". The plaque hung high on the top of the improvised shed, and many people gave thumbs up as they passed by: "This battlefield is too vivid." ”
Qin Yin runs in all corners of the construction site every day, young and beautiful, full of vitality. When the peasants saw her from afar, they would say, "Here comes our piano bosom." The sound of the piano is also unceremonious, once I heard Xin Liqing inadvertently say the words "battlefield piano bosom friend", and he really called himself a "battlefield piano bosom friend".
On this day, Qin Yin came to a tunnel construction site and suddenly found a familiar reel. She clearly remembers that on the day of registration, this reluctant brought a pack of tobacco and smoked from time to time, and he was an authentic old smoker.
The shackle was obviously very tired from work, and when he saw that the "Battlefield Piano Friend" was coming, he held on to the sledgehammer and watched.
"Hello. Kotone took the initiative to walk over and greet the stump.
The looked at him, and under the towering cheekbones, his mouth cracked in a smile.
"That pack of tobacco should have been smoked a long time ago, right? Or I'll bring you a pack next time." Kotone asked.
"Not yet, I don't need it. The stool replied crisply.
Qinyin was curious, but several workers around them rushed over to introduce the history of the struggle of the retort who had not smoked for more than 100 days, saying that this was an advanced deed, and asked Qinyin to broadcast it.
Qin Yin interviewed the advanced deeds of the retort from the introduction of the workers. It turned out that this farmer had never dealt with explosives before coming to the construction site, and after coming to the construction site, he took the initiative to undertake the task of installing detonators, and he lived with explosives in the grass liao on the mountain for more than 100 days, and fireworks should be banned near the explosives.
Xin Xian listened to the broadcast of Qin Yin and made a special trip to visit the ring. Xin Xian looked at the reed in distress: "After the project is completed, I will send you good tobacco, let's smoke it to your heart's content." ”
Qin Yin in the usual interviews, more people who ran away when they met her, the "battlefield piano bosom friend", many farmers are very simple, accustomed to obscurity, for fear that one day they will be captured by Qin Yin in detail, be broadcast, and become advanced.
Qin Yin didn't go home for a few days, and she became a ragged person. She continued to walk along the construction site, and at a place where she was digging stones, she suddenly noticed that one of the stone-beaters could not stand steadily, and insisted on wielding a sledgehammer. She hurriedly called a worker to help the sick villager go back to the shed to rest.
In the middle of the night, Qin Yin suddenly remembered the sick villager, and rushed to the workshop to visit him with a flashlight overnight. When she arrived at the shed, she asked about the sick villager, and the workers suddenly found him missing. The leader of the shed arranged for the workers to search the surrounding area, and soon found that the patient had gone to the tunnel to shoot the hole again.
The sound of the piano reminded the patient to rest, but the patient stubbornly said, "Minor injuries do not leave the line of fire." ”
The patient also said to Qinyin, what is my matter, don't broadcast me. In order to draw the attention of Qin Yin, he also cited the advanced examples of others: a young carpenter in his village who installed the bracket often insisted on two shifts by himself, and once, a stone fell from the top of the cave, knocked off the helmet on his head, and injured his right cheek and right shoulder, but he still insisted on working, fainted as soon as he came out of the hole, and continued to work in the cave the next day......
Listening to the sound of the piano, I felt a stream of blood boiling in my chest. All these lovely people, their deeds can only be unforgettable, and even the radio can hardly express this spirit of fighting for dreams to the end with sound.
The broadcast soon spread throughout the construction site.
Xin Xian listened to the familiar voice of the qinyin, and was slightly excited and choked, and there seemed to be blood burning in his heart. He felt the weight on his shoulders heavier, and at the same time, the strength in his body was more sufficient.
The sky is unpredictable.
On this day, Xin Xian was discussing the use of materials with Yu An. Qin Yin was waiting for them to finish the interview with Yu An. Suddenly, a villager ran over in a hurry, shouting as he ran: "Oh no, it's a landslide!"
Xin Xian, Yu An, and Qin Yin were all startled by this sudden shout. Hurriedly put down the work in his hand and followed the villager to the place of the collapse.
Arriving at the site of the collapse, Kotone found that a pier holding the aqueduct was covered with loose dirt, burying the foot of the pier, and the force of the landslide caused an iron cart next to it to fall apart. Villagers have already started to save themselves, shoveling away the soil and rescuing workers buried in the mud. Around the construction team, more and more people are joining the ranks of rescue.
Time is so slow! Qin Yin couldn't wait to move the mud away in an instant and rescue the migrant workers. She was so anxious that she used her hands to break the dirt.
Finally cleaned up the scene, and Qinyin learned at the scene that six people were killed and five were injured in this landslide. She couldn't control herself anymore, and in this solemn construction site, she cried loudly, tears and sweat, and kept going.
Xin Xian walked slowly to the six workers who would never wake up again, and gently covered their vicissitudes of life and serene faces with the white gauze brought by the medical staff, which was originally used to save people.
This is the second disaster that Qin Yin has faced on the construction site. Last time, a month ago, a steel frame and arch beam suddenly fell, and a worker died on the spot. She cried all day. And this time, there were six at once......
Qin Yin cried and stood silently with the other workers.
Xin Xian said in a low voice to Yu An, Qin Yin, and the surrounding workers:
"Remember, in the initial period of pursuing dreams, in the arduous years of transforming mountains and rivers, it was these heroic sons and daughters who selflessly dedicated, and even heroes who sacrificed their precious lives, who composed heroic hymns in the new era......
