Zhao Mantang and I are just called old buddies, it is not as simple as eating and drinking together, but working and cooperating together for three consecutive years.

He saw that I was very idle at home, and he did not say that he had something to leave, but that he knew that there were thousands of cups and few cups, and he did not speculate for more than half a sentence. Chatting and chatting about the day is almost noon, I let the children go to the restaurant to get a few good dishes, played a bottle of sky blue old wine, into the table, in order to show sincerity, we touched three glasses, which is a meeting gift, and then we drank while boxing, drank to the happy place, and talked about decades of old past:

At the end of 76 years, the bridge was just completed, and in the early summer of 77 years, the bridge collapsed, and the cadres of Luoka Village were not satisfied, so they sued Zhao Mantang to the commune government, because at that time the bridge was designed, constructed, and commanded by him, so he had an unshirkable responsibility.

In the winter of '77, the county party committee decided to dig a model river, but the commune cadres were all white-necked, and the task had to be done by the water conservancy station. At that time, there were three regular workers at the water conservancy station, the stationmaster, the accountant, and the technician.

Although Zhao Mantang was criticized for repairing the bridge, the responsibility is not entirely his, no matter how big it can be durable and sandwiched, it will not be able to smash a high-quality bridge.

Therefore, the bridges in 76 years all collapsed and broke down in half a year.

This time, Zhao Mantang still has full responsibility for digging the model river and unified command.

The address of this river digging is not in my hometown, but in Baimutun, which is dozens of kilometers away from our village, and spans dozens of kilometers from east to west.

The headquarters of our commune is located in Baimutun, and the river construction site of our brigade is also in Baimutun.

The task of the model river assigned by the county government is a small river behind Baimutun Village, and this time it deepens, widens and increases the standard quality of the river dredging, which plays a model role for the rivers in the county.

The time requirement is to complete the work before the fifteenth day of the lunar month. It lasted three months.

The top three will be awarded, and the bottom three will be punished. Our commune is divided into two kilometers long, and our brigade is only 100 meters long. Therefore, the river digging can only be centered on the brigade, unified food and shelter, unified command, and unified action.

At that time, the brigade dispatched 100 young and strong laborers to participate in the digging of the river, and each group of 20 people was divided into five meals, and 10 cooks cooked, found five stations, and made preparations.

The team is led by me and Director Wang, I am responsible for logistics supply, food and drink expenses, and Director Wang is responsible for the progress of the construction site. It is divided into 5 groups, and the cadres of the brigade are the team leaders, and each meal has a special person in charge.

Vigorously advocate learning to catch up and help out. The reward is first punished, the advanced will not suffer losses, and the backward will be beaten.

The goal is clear, the responsibility is to the person, and the process of digging the river has been vigorously started.

On the left side of the river construction site is the A village construction site, and on the right side is the B village construction site, everyone you chase me, scramble to work on the river work, who lags behind and who suffers, because the advanced will not dig more, only stay more, that is manual work, every inch of land spares people. At the beginning, you can pull the soil by a rack car, dig the cloud to a depth of 1 meter, and then use a shovel to shake the soil according to the ladder. The slope of digging the river is 1:1, so the further down you dig, the more difficult it becomes. When you can't shake it off with a shovel, you have to use a cloth to carry it instead.

One morning, after lunch, all three groups suddenly had their stomachs. After investigation, it was found that it was caused by unhygienic food. The heroes can't resist three bubbles of thin, so the 3 groups of people have to rest as a whole, recuperate, and work again when they are sick.

For this reason, the cook was replaced, and a smart, clean and capable woman was temporarily found in the village.
