The winter snow is falling, and the world is vast. This year's winter was particularly cold, and even in Jiangbei Province, the temperature in the province remained below freezing.

Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear. Heavy snow closed the roads, and most of the townships and counties were nowhere to be seen. However, the oil battle in the Takahashi area was in full swing.

At the scene of the temporary headquarters in the Gaoqiao area, I don't know when, a statue of the iron man Wang Jinxi was erected, holding the brake handle, and his eyes were blazing, as if he was encouraging the crowd to fight in the ice and snow.

Several huge slogans were also fluttering in the wind and snow.

"Learn from Wang Jinxi, I'd rather live 20 years less than win the big oil field!"

"If there are conditions, you must go up, and if you don't have conditions, you must go on if you don't have conditions!"

The three drilling detachments of the Jiangbei Oilfield are all responsible for reception tasks. Zhao Yuemin's Red Star Hotel also closed for business during this time, and all employees moved to the cooking room of the temporary headquarters to help cook with the cooks in the cooking room.

The addition of several restaurants in Shao Bo Town temporarily reduced the pressure on the temporary headquarters to provide food a lot. It is also a special honor for the restaurant owners to provide their own meals to the war workers for free, and the operators of this body can also help the state-run units.

However, due to the large number of people, the reception site was still chaotic. Oilfield workers from all over the country, mixed with various accents, still rushed for supplies from time to time.

Zhao Yuemin was also busy and haggard at this time, and the phone call to the headquarters of Shaohu Town was always busy, so he couldn't take care of some trivial things.

He led a few workers through the chaotic crowd when he suddenly heard a loud singing.

"Unity is strength, unity is strength......"

"This power is iron, this strength is steel, harder than iron, stronger than steel......"

I saw about 100 officers and soldiers in green uniforms sitting neatly on the side of the road.

Compared with the chaotic crowd, the neatness of these officers and soldiers is different.

Zhao Yuemin felt cordial and asked, "Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, which unit?" ”

A man who looked like an officer saluted him and replied, "From the Nanjing Military Region." ”

"Have you eaten?"

"I've had a bowl of noodle soup from yesterday to now."

Zhao Yuemin nodded and kindly reminded: "Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, I am the general reception here. I suggest that if you don't have a full stomach, let's stop singing military songs. It's better to save some effort, there are still many tasks ahead. ”

"Well, you have a point." The officer waved at the officers and soldiers, causing them to stop singing.

"Are there any difficulties?" Zhao Yuemin asked.

The officer thought for a moment and replied, "Nothing else. There just nowhere to sleep. ”

Zhao Yuemin sighed, he didn't eat enough, and there wasn't enough place to live. He had to receive 5,000 people, with only more than 1,000 tents.

Seeing that Zhao Yuemin didn't answer, the officer joked: "Comrade General Reception, when we first went to the Korean battlefield, there was still a cave to sleep in." But there's not even a cave here. ”

Zhao Yuemin was said to be full of guilt, and he responded: "Comrades of the People's Liberation Army, don't worry, we will vacate the space now." ”

"No, no." The officer smiled understandingly, "We understand your plight. Now that everyone is in difficulty, your tent should be given to the front-line workers who dig wells. We solved it in the wild. ”

He turned around, looked at the officers and soldiers, and ordered: "All of them, cover up, and go to sleep on the spot." ”

All the officers and men did not say a word, and all opened their bunks and lay down.

The snow was icy and snowy, and the warriors were lying in the snowdrifts one by one, their eyelashes stained with crystal snow particles.

Zhao Yuemin's heart was sour, and he responded: "Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, let's do it, I can't solve the problem of sleeping place." I'll send you another batch of steamed buns, and after eating the steamed buns, your body will be warmer. ”

He returned to the temporary headquarters and heard several technical staff members complaining inside the tent.

"I said, this place is too rudimentary? The tents are leaking......"

"yes, how nice it would be for us to stay in the headquarters building in town, assigned to this hellish place......"

Employees of several technical departments are chewing their ears on each other. After Zhao Yuemin heard this, he couldn't get angry, and he approached the room with a blue face.

"You're from the geology department?" Zhao Yuemin asked.

"Yes...... What's wrong? The employee of the geological department looked puzzled, "Captain Zhao, why are you so angry?" ”

"Such a big temper?" Zhao Yuemin slammed the cotton hat on his head to the ground and reprimanded loudly: "If this is Shaohu Town, the bureau lets you stay in a leaky tent to work, then you can complain." But now, this is Takahashi! ”

Zhao Yuemin opened a corner of the tent, pointed to the ice and snow outside, and said: "How many oilfield brothers and workers who have come from afar can't eat a few bites of food now, and can only sleep in the field. You're still complaining here? ”

Zhao Yuemin's reprimand was so loud that the people around him surrounded him.

"Captain Zhao, you are from the drilling team, it seems to be ...... There is no qualification to reprimand us......" said a technical department employee.

"I'm not qualified to ......" Zhao Yuemin walked to the table and picked up the phone, "I'm the chief receptionist here, I'm not qualified?" I'll call your leaders Qin Hai and Zhang Jianfeng right now and ask him to transfer you back. You'd better work in the heating room in the town headquarters! ”

Zhao Yuemin made a phone call and explained the situation to Qin Hai, deputy chief geologist. Qin Hai immediately fried the pot and scolded on the other end of the phone:

"You let that guy be obedient!"

Qin Hai's scolding came out of the phone and went straight to the ears of everyone present.

"You've grown your skills? Now that the battle is so difficult, will it cause trouble for Zhao Yuemin? Let me tell you, a few of you, obey the arrangement now, all listen to Zhao Yuemin, if anyone is unwilling, I will remove him from his post on the spot! That's it! ”

With a "snap", the phone hung up.

The faces of several people in the technical department turned pale, and they immediately made compensation to Zhao Yuemin, and it was a review.

"Team Zhao, we didn't take into account the overall situation, we pampered ......"

"Team Zhao, a few of us must make a deep review......

After Zhao Yuemin reprimanded a few people, it was already dark. Except for a few kerosene lamps that were not too bright, it was dark in the distance.

Zhao Yuemin gave up his tent to the female team members of the Daqing Oilfield, and he and Wang Wei also chose to sleep in the wild.

"Team Zhao, do we have to choose to sleep in the wild?" Liu Guoguang, a college student, looked at the snow and hesitated.

"You can huddle in a tent with those lesbians." Vice captain Wang Wei teased.

"That's fine, I promise not to make mistakes." Liu Guoguang's eyes lit up.

"Don't mess around!" Zhao Yuemin took out the captain's style, "We are the hosts, and the people are the guests." This night, we were in the wilderness. ”

The vast snow fell, Liu Guoguang unfolded the cover, looked at the sky and sighed:

"It's snowing heavily, and there are grievances in the world."

Zhao Yuemin was happy: "What's the grievance?" ”

"The dignified genius Liu Guoguang is going to sleep in the snow."

"Fuck off!" Zhao Yuemin patted Liu Guoguang's head, "I took a few more blankets, everyone squeezed together overnight, and there will be a new tent tomorrow." ”

"Captain, otherwise, let's have a quilt, I'm afraid of the cold......"

"You're not a woman, it's useless. You are a woman, and I will accept you. ”

Zhao Yuemin was having fun and teasing with his teammates.

He slept in the snow, felt the cold wind blowing in his face, and his head was so cold that he had no choice but to put on two layers of cotton hats.

His body told him that he must have slept extremely uncomfortably this night. He only hoped that this night would pass as soon as possible......
