Chapter 376: The Wandering Soul (2)

The old secretary sat on the ground, where did he get the strength to stand?

He habitually went to his pocket to take out a cigarette, but he rummaged through his coat and trouser pockets, but he didn't find any cigarette.

It was then that he remembered that he had thrown the only box of cigarettes he had left to his fellow villagers. He sighed, smashed his mouth a few times, and reluctantly swallowed the mouth full of worms again.

Brick kiln, this land is entrusted with the trust of the villagers, looking forward to the take-off of the cause, seeking well-being for the villagers in the tide of reform, and letting every family live a good life; There is nothing wrong with working hard, but a premise is to be people-oriented, and blindly rushing to the schedule regardless of the safety of the body is going to cause a big accident!

This is the revelation that the fourth captain left to the old secretary tonight!

People are gone, the night is quiet, there are no insects and birds in the current season, the Grand Canal is nearby, and there is no magnificent waves crashing on the shore, but the old secretary's heart is constantly surging!

Hi! I don't want to smoke a cigarette anymore, and now these two eyes are always fighting, sore and sore.

No, I can't close my eyes, I can fall asleep if I don't pay attention, as long as I'm lying here, don't think about getting up again, go back, it's too late if I don't leave.

Just when the old secretary was about to get up, his eyes saw a square inch in front of him not far away, what was it?

The old secretary fixed his eyes and took a closer look, wasn't that my box of cigarettes? He quickly got up and walked over, bent down and picked it up, and found that the box of cigarettes had not been touched!

Oh, my good folks, you are all tired like that, no one smoked a cigarette from me, and I yelled at you, I really can't help it!

The old secretary took this box of cigarettes like grasping a life-saving straw, quickly took out one and lit it, took a hard breath, and suddenly felt that his whole body was full of strength, and his heart was indescribably happy, and the sleepiness just now disappeared immediately!

The old secretary smoked a cigarette and looked around at this large piece of land, looking forward to the newly built factory in the future, and the scene of the villagers' hot work flashed in his mind, as if he saw a cart full of boxes of shoes out of the warehouse, transported to the shoe market, a large number of banknotes flew like snowflakes, he lit the banknotes with his eyebrows fluttering, paid wages to the workers, and all his faces bloomed, and the irrepressible happiness was written on everyone's face!

Oh, how good it must have been, what a sight it must have been!

The old secretary was so excited that he didn't even notice that the cigarette butt burned to his fingers, and he quickly shook off the cigarette butt!

This casual scene reminded him of the fourth captain, who worked with a cigarette in this way, and the old secretary raised his eyes and saw the small cart, he walked over without hesitation, grabbed the handlebar and walked to the brick kiln.

The villagers smashed the burned bricks everywhere, and these were scrapped bricks to be pulled away.

Working and pulling one cart less can make a little contribution to the advance of the construction period. The old secretary began to move the bricks, loaded them, lit a cigarette, pulled up the cart and left.

One car, two cars, three cars, and a figure moving in the middle of the night in this empty field, it looks so lonely and magnificent! Bending down to carry bricks, hunched back to pull the cart, a small cart drifts in the night.

Just when the old secretary was concentrating on his work, suddenly the bank of the Grand Canal was bright, illuminating the dark night as day, and the sudden scene scared the old secretary, and he quickly stopped the work in his hand and looked around!

"Old secretary, you don't want to die!"

The old secretary followed the voice and saw the big strong father coming from the north machine well room.

"Brother, why are you here?" The old secretary asked with a wink.

"Won't I come? Da Zhuang went back and asked him, didn't you work the night shift, he said that the old secretary called us back, let us rest for three days, didn't ask us to do anything, ate, slept and ate, if anyone was disobedient, they would skin us alive one by one! Da Zhuang said: "I asked him the reason, and he told me about the brick kiln." ”

Later, I asked him, where is the old secretary? He said he didn't see you back. My heart is broken, just your stubborn temper, I don't know you yet, you are allowed to work here, you can see what I guessed. Old secretary, you are too strong, I don't know how we got busy this day, you said you are playing with your life like this, it is going to be a big incident, the four captains are like that, you want to be like that! ”

"How can I be so delicate, besides, doing a little is a little, not afraid of slowness, afraid of standing!" The old secretary said.

"Old secretary, you are the pillar of our village, you are doing great things, you can't be tired! Old secretary, look, look who's coming! Da Zhuang said with his hand pointing to the avenue in the southwest corner.

The old secretary turned his head to look, and there were so many men and women in that place.

"What are you doing, brother!" The old secretary looked at these villagers and was stunned, he saw that people with sledgehammers with sledgehammers, crowbars with crowbars, shovels with shovels, and carts with carts were walking towards here.

"Old secretary, as soon as Da Zhuang told me, I was in a hurry, I said what is the matter, I quickly got up, I took my big whip and threw it in the village while walking, and threw the villagers out. I told everyone that the old secretary had been busy for a day, and he didn't even go home, so he went to work in the brick kiln again, and he was worried that our shoe factory could not be built. Da Zhuang said.

"One of the people working today accidentally burned the bricks in the brick kiln, and he was even more distressed! He saw that the four captains were tired and lay down, and the people who worked were too tired to do it, so he took the big guy home, and he went to work on the brick kiln himself, and everyone said what should we do? The big guy said, then you don't need to say, take the guy and go! ”

The old secretary was moved again! He looked at these respectable villagers and opened his mouth several times, unable to say a word!

"Old secretary, go back, do your big thing, I'll do the work here for you, just this little work, there are so many of us, I will finish it for you in an hour!" After speaking, Da Zhuang said to the villagers: "Folks, hurry up, just this little work, let's go home after we finish it!" ”

"Thank you, big guy!" That's all left for the old secretary!

The old secretary walked home with his tired body, this person couldn't stop working, and as soon as he stopped, he didn't want to move, and he felt tired.

When the old secretary walked to the machine well room, he saw that the light was on inside, and he thought to himself, this must be a sunspot sprouting. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, oh, it's almost four o'clock, and that's when the sprouts come out.

Heizi was fishing for bean sprouts with a long fence, and suddenly felt that someone had come in, he turned his head and saw the old secretary coming in, so he quickly asked, "Old secretary?" Why are you here at this time, what time is it? ”

"Is there any wine?" The old secretary asked.

"Yes." Kuroko replied confusedly.

"Hurry up and bring it to me to drink two sips to refresh me."

"What's wrong with you? What does this mean? The old secretary's actions confused Kuroko, and he said casually while going back to the house to get wine.

"Hurry up, drink it and talk about it."

"Here, here's a plate of boiled peanuts, I'll eat the rest." Kuroko took out a bottle of wine and half a plate of boiled peanuts from the house, handed them to the old secretary and said.

The old secretary didn't say a word, grabbed the wine bottle and took a big sip, and then pouted and said, "Happy!" ”

"You didn't come home?" Kuroko saw the tired old secretary in the light, and saw that he was covered in dirt, and even his hair was not the original color, so he couldn't help asking.

"Hey, it's all a thing, it's a big thing, sleep? Even if you fall asleep, you have nightmares, so it's better not to sleep! "The old secretary didn't even wash his hands, grabbed the boiled peanuts on the plate and ate them!

"Then you have to sleep, aren't you torturing yourself? You probably didn't go home, you didn't come back from the hospital like this, you look at you now, it's like you just came out of the brick kiln! Kuroko said.

"Haha! Kuroko, I really let you talk! After the old secretary finished speaking, he picked up the wine bottle and "Gu Dong" is a big sip, the fierceness of the liquor has been flowing into the stomach at the throat, and the feeling is really memorable!

"Huh? Did you really go to the brick kiln? Are you still working? Isn't this nonsense, this is! Just yesterday, the two children were about to toss you to death, not to mention eating and sleeping well, you are this age, and you went to work in the brick kiln again in the middle of the night, I can't say about you! ”

"If you don't go, you can't do it! When Aunt Li was leaving, she said that the fourth captain was looking for me in a hurry, so I went to the brick kiln to have a look. It doesn't matter if you look at it, it's a big deal! When the old secretary mentioned this topic, he was sad again, and he picked up the wine bottle and took a sip.

"Oh, when I was fishing for bean sprouts, I heard a lot of footsteps on the road, and I could tell how many people were there in the noisy footsteps. I hurriedly went out, and when I went out, I saw that they were all villagers, and they were all working guys, including the old brother. I asked him, why are you going, brother? He said go to work! ”

"I said which one is this singing, and you haven't worked like this from time to time? He said, do your job well, don't delay things and go away. I wonder if the tools they were holding were burned out in the brick kiln? Kuroko asked, guessing.

"Hahaha, you're right again!" When the old secretary heard this, he panicked even more, 200,000 bricks, which were poured out by the villagers with blood and sweat, were wasted in vain! He picked up the wine bottle again, and took two large sips of wine again!

"Drink slowly, there's enough wine."

"You think I'm here for the wine?"

"You see what you said, it's not that you're afraid that you'll drink too much, how can you work during the day? Slow drinking does not hurt the body. ”

"The fourth captain has already injured his body and sent him to the hospital, I feel uncomfortable!"

"Huh? Is it the tractor that passed past two o'clock? I heard that voice was wrong, at night, why are you in such a hurry, "suddenly", not afraid of waking up the villagers? And one drove down the street! Oh, that's the fourth captain going to the hospital? That's when I woke up. ”

"I don't dare to sleep, for fear that someone will miss the time, or the sprouts will be ruined. I got up and started drinking, and when I saw that the time was almost up, I started to sprout. It's not just a little bit out of the sprouts, and you're in. ”

"Hey! Speaking of bean sprouts, I think of the child bean sprouts, what a good child! If you look at this yard, the child wants to work, and I remember when she told me, I agreed to give her this place without saying a word! The child is also sensible, so he came to me in the afternoon and said, "Old secretary, I'll go and deliver some food to the gong and drum team." ”

"I said it's none of your business, it's a matter of the brigade, it's a public business, and it has nothing to do with you. She said that it won't work, old secretary, the affairs of the village are my business, I can't do anything else, it's always okay to cook for the big guys, everyone has the energy to work when they are full! Look at the sunspots, what sensible children! ”

"The dog is also good, everyone has their own strengths, don't care about the dog leftovers and be naughty, after so many things, I can see that this child will be a person who does great things in the future, these two children are good! But I couldn't understand why they fell into the river. Look at that tricycle, it's really that the dog is riding too fast, and the two of them are riding and fighting, and accidentally hit the guardrail and fall into the river? ”

"I don't think it's that simple, there must be something here, and I must ask them when they are discharged from the hospital! The dog usually ignores the bean sprouts, and he will smile at the hippie when he rides a tricycle? Will the two of them fight? If I had known that the dog had done something to the sprouts, I would not have spared him! ”

The old secretary said that this felt a little wrong, and he suddenly remembered that incident, this matter is a big secret, and he must not say that he leaked it. As soon as he thought of this, he quickly picked up the wine bottle, and "coo-dong" again, and quickly gagged his mouth!

Kuroko laughed twice when he heard "hehe" and didn't speak, looking at the old secretary with that look.

The old secretary saw Kuroko's expression and suddenly seemed to sense something, and this perception was so shocked that he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore!

"Hey, hey, too much, right?" Kuroko smiled and squinted at the old secretary and said.

The old secretary blinked a few times: "Is it too much?" Am I drinking too much? You sunspot, how much do you drink? Come on, I won't tell you. The old secretary knew that Heizi had guessed something and said: "I know what you do, even if you know, you don't know, don't spread rumors!" You have to remember that you are already a member of the family, and it will not benefit you to talk too much! ”

"Don't worry, old secretary, I know what I should do, these things are nothing!" Kuroko made the words clear and said to the old secretary.

"Well, maintain this family, you are the leader of this family, you can only guide this family to the good, you must not live up to Wanruo! I don't need to say anything about the following, and then there's the matter between you and Aunt Li, how about it, is there a play? The old secretary stopped and couldn't mention the topic anymore, so he diverted the conversation and asked.

"What do you mean by having a play?" Kuroko was puzzled for a moment.

"Pretend, you're just! It's not fishy when you get married."

"Hahaha, you old secretary, you can say this!" Heizi knew what the old secretary said, and said with a smile.

"Okay, they're all here, and there are no outsiders, so what can't you say? Hurry up, Aunt Li is only forty years old, no problem! You see you're as strong as a cow, and that's not a problem! Although one child is advocated now, there should always be a child, right? You two are newly married, and sprouts don't count. Hurry up and have one, having your own children is not in vain in this life! ”

"Okay, okay old secretary, I see that you still don't drink, hurry up and go back to busy you, you see that you have delayed me, I have to work, I will not accompany you!" Kuroko finished speaking and got to work.

"I'll take the wine, busy with you, let's go." After the old secretary finished speaking, he disappeared into the night.

It's about to be dawn, I can't go back home, and the office is my home. I don't know how many calls I have to answer today, I don't know how many troubles are waiting for me, a phone call is a big thing, a big thing is going to affect your nerves, your brain has to be tense all the time, and if you're not careful, it's a fatal thing!

The old secretary walked into the brigade headquarters, and the lights were on in the courtyard, but no one came out, probably because they were asleep.

Hey, sleep, the tiger still has a nap, it's four or five o'clock, it's the time to be sleepy, if this was put aside, the old secretary would have been roaring in the yard! When he didn't have it today, he quietly walked into his office.

Open the door, turn on the light, the familiar space is displayed in front of him, every table and chair are in order, every item is untouched, this is his second home, a safe one that no one dares to rush in, it is not only the office command of the world, but also a small world to live and work in peace and contentment!

How beautiful! The old secretary sat down and lifted the lid of the teacup, wanting to see if there was any water in it, even if it was a sip of cold water, it was sweet!

But he was disappointed, and there was not a drop of water in the teacup. He stood up again, walked to the kettle, picked up the kettle and shook it, he was even more disappointed, there was no movement in it!

"Who's on duty?" There was a roar in the secretary's office!

The silent courtyard was suddenly awakened! The officer on duty quickly woke up from his sleep, ran out, and came directly to the old secretary's office.

"Are you on duty?"

"Yes!"

"Don't you know I can't have hot water in my office?"

"Yes!"

"Come and see, can you see a drop of water in my thermos?"

"I'm sorry old secretary, I was wrong, I will correct it in the future, I will go and boil water for you now!"

"Stop, tell me why, why don't you do your job!"

The officer on duty pulled his head deafly, trembling and not daring to look up at the old secretary.

"Speak, answer me!"

"My mother is sick, my father doesn't come home, I am busy at home alone, and I am so sleepy that I fall asleep."

"Who is your father?"

"Captain Four."
