Chapter 60: Ice and Snow
[Many book friends are mentioning the growth of the protagonist, in fact, everyone should have felt that the last few chapters have actually paved the way for the growth of the protagonist. The first season has about 70 chapters and then moves on to the second season. 】
This winter is really cold, and the snow keeps falling and is frozen to the ground when it reaches the ground. Everywhere there was a silvery white patch, except for the roadbed of the railroad showing the dark soil.
"It's really going to kill you." Mao Dagen sighed.
"Can't stand it anymore? Big roots. Zhang Yunyang asked loudly.
I thought I was going to the vicinity of SH, but I didn't expect that on the way, the railway on the HB railway collapsed in a large area, and there was a sharp adjustment, and all the Biyun people who Zhang Yunyang and he were with were transferred to HB. At this time, the average temperature in HB is below zero, and the lowest temperature at night is below -10 degrees.
Zhang Yunyang took off the boar leather boots and shook out the ice chips that had splashed into the boots. Thanks to these boar leather boots, it's really solid. Zhang Yunyang took the leather boots and roasted them in the fire, and soon the inside was steaming hot.
These leather boots are made of the 500-pound wild boar skin, double leather, the leather is soft and thick, and He Ni also made a layer of flannel cloth in it, and wore it on her feet to be warm.
The pigskin of the wild boar was made by Lao Qini, and He Ni made a leather vest for each family of four, and then made a pair of leather boots for each person. There is still quite a bit of boar skin left.
"These boots are good, they're so thick, what kind of leather are they made of?" Mao Dagen said enviously.
He was wearing big scalp shoes issued by the railway, and the quality was quite good, but compared with Zhang Yunyang's boots, it was really a lot worse.
"Well, made of wild boar skin. 500 pounds of large wild boar. My son made a trap to hit the wild boar. These boots are made by my mother-in-law. Zhang Yunyang said proudly.
"How old is your son?" Mao Dagen naturally didn't believe it.
"Eight years old, only five years old when I hit this wild boar!" Zhang Yunyang said.
"Brag, you can blow it. At the age of five, he was able to hunt wild boars. I think you can blow the sky out? Mao Dagen said with a smile.
"Believe it or not?" Zhang Yunyang didn't bother to argue with him, put down the shoe in his hand that was almost baked, and roasted the other one close to the fire. Zhang Yunyang baked it very carefully, for fear that his shoes would be baked.
"Damn, this is a place where you can't even send a letter." Mao Dagen said.
"I asked, every few days there will be a car from the railway bureau coming, you can take the letter out, you don't even have to put a stamp, when the time comes, the railway post office will stamp it." Zhang Yunyang said.
Zhang Shanfeng walked in from the outside and sat on the side, but now that Zhang Shanhai was not around, he didn't say a word.
"Mountain wind, come here, roast the fire, and dry the shoes, otherwise tomorrow, it will have to freeze inside." Zhang Yunyang said.
Zhang Shanfeng took off his shoes, and there was nothing inside, and he put them on the fire to roast, and there was no steam.
"Hey, that's what you did in your shoes." Mao Dagen is very strange.
Zhang Shanfeng didn't even raise his eyes, let alone say a word.
"Dagen, this kid has this temper and doesn't like to talk. Bear with me. Zhang Yunyang hurriedly apologized for Zhang Shanfeng.
"It's okay, I don't know this child's surname after so many days? It's just that this kid is so diligent, why doesn't he like to talk? Mao Dagen said.
"Let him go." Zhang Yunyang said.
This body has just been roasted a little hot, and the outside is already shouting, "It's started, it's started, let's go!" ”
Zhang Shanfeng stood up, put on leather shoes and strode towards the tent door, only to open the tent door, and a strong cold wind immediately hit his face, mixed with countless snowflakes. The wind lifted the sparks of the campfire again, and the snowflakes flew all over the tent.
"Thief God, is this still alive?" Mao Dagen scolded.
When I got outside, I wrapped the scarf around my face and covered my face tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes. Everyone wore a green military cap on their heads.
Zhang Yunyang resisted this hat when he first came, he didn't see the edge yet, this green hat was put on first, but he didn't expect that within a day, this green hat couldn't be taken off, and he had to put it on even when he slept. I have to say that the quality of this military hat brought by the railway bureau is really good, thick and warm.
The work here is urgent, and it must be done within a week, because this is the main artery, and it is still waiting to be opened. But there are no auxiliary machines, everything has to be done by manpower. In this section alone, Zhang Yunyang's group of people is responsible for, and there are hundreds of people working at the same time.
"It's really fatal to do it in a week on such a cold day." Zhang Yunyang sighed in his heart. Because the weather was so cold, the ground was all frozen, and it was as hard as a rock, and when I smashed it with a shovel, I only knocked out a hole the size of a finger.
In fact, doing these jobs is nothing to Zhang Yunyang, what he is most looking forward to now is to be able to send the letter, which has been out for more than a week, and he has not even sent a letter to report safety.
There has been no news from He Ni's side, and Zhang Yunyang also wants to know what the situation is on her side now. Zhang Yunyang never thought that He Ni would change his hexagram. The two have lived for so many years, and they have a good idea of what kind of person each other is.
After only a few days of work, Zhang Yunyang was quickly elected as the team leader by the workers on the construction site, the main reason is that Zhang Yunyang is the most powerful and willing to contribute among more than a dozen people. Of course, Zhang Shanfeng is also willing to contribute, and he does no less work than Zhang Yunyang, but Zhang Shanfeng has been here for so long, and he doesn't say a word a day on average. If it weren't for the occasional word to Zhang Yunyang, everyone might think that this kid was a mute.
"Brothers, work hard today and finish this section of the work as soon as possible. Although this work is not easy to do, for the sake of the subsidy, we also have to work hard to finish the work here in advance. On such a cold day, if you don't make more money to go back, you'll be sorry for yourself, right? The New Year will soon come to an end, and Cadre Hu will also agree, as long as we finish it neatly, he will find a way to send us some cloth tickets. When the time comes, you will be able to tear your daughter-in-law's New Year's clothes. Zhang Yunyang said.
"Brother Yunyang is right. Since I'm here, I'm really sorry for myself if I don't make more money. "Mao Dagen is always the first to respond.
A large group of men rushed out, busy on the railroad with shovels.
Hu cadre's name is Hu Dongping, and he is the stationmaster of the Pingyuan Station of the HB Railway Bureau, and he is responsible for this line. Now that something has happened, he is more anxious than anyone else.
He warmed up in the room and prepared to go out to direct the construction. Suddenly, a group of people walked over to the station office, and some of them directly stopped Hu Dongping.
"Lao Hu, where are you going?" The person who spoke was Wei Nan, secretary of the HB Railway Bureau.
"Director Wei, you're here. I was just about to rush them. It's too cold to work. It's a worryingly slow progress. Hu Dongping said.
"That's not right. I've seen it all the way, and the progress of this section you're responsible for is relatively fast. Wei Nan said.
"Well, the progress is okay, thanks to a few capable people, who are working hard. The progress has been maintained well, thanks to the leadership of these people. Hu Dongping said.
"One soldier bears, one bear. There are a few capable people who take the lead, and the result is completely different. I'll go over with you to see what kind of hero is the one who can make a name for himself in such weather. Wei Nan said.
