Chapter 7 Don't fight, don't know each other
These big girls and little daughters-in-law are either oil extractors in the oil production plant or family members of the workers on the well.
Zhao Yuemin and Wang Wei saw these girls shouting, thinking that something had happened, and they were not in the mood to watch the movie, so they immediately followed.
The streets were filled with crying, laughter, and shouting. I saw that every young girl who ran out of the movie theater was stained with yellow and red paint on her back or buttocks, which looked quite eye-catching in such an era when blue and gray clothing were dominant.
I had never been teased like this, and the girls blushed and ran away with their faces covered.
At this time, under the dim street lamp, the laughter of several men came from the corner of the street.
Zhang Yuanchao tore off his scarf and scolded: "Damn, it's those little hooligans in the town again, seeing that our oil extraction workers are easy to bully, right?" ”
"Yes, since our oil field was settled, those indiscriminate young people in the local area have been unpleasant. If you have nothing to do, provoke the honest workers in our factory. It is said that the brothers of the oil production plant have already fought with them several times. Another said.
"The brothers of the oil production plant are up, how can our drilling team lag behind? It's all one unit. Someone was indignant.
The cohesion of the oilfield workers was extremely strong, and after a while, these workers who came to see the film formed an alliance and walked towards the local youth on the street corner.
The young people in the small towns in those places did not get angry when they saw the oilfield workers coming, and they picked up the wooden sticks and shovels on the side of the street one after another, and they also greeted them with great vigour.
The oilfield worker who took the lead, who was the leader of the second drilling group, was born in the military and was quite literate, he looked at the young people in those places, and said righteously:
"You people, why are you bullying the female workers of our oil extraction plant?"
A tall, strong local youth replied:
"We splashed paint in the cinema, and we didn't expect to target female workers, we targeted you oil field masters."
"Why?" The leader of the second team of the drilling team asked.
"Your oil fields are prejudiced against us, why don't you recruit our local youths as workers?"
The leader of the second drilling team glanced at each other and said with contempt: "Our oilfield workers are all good men, and they don't recruit hooligans. ”
"What did you say?" The local youth said angrily.
"Just you, what's the matter, you want to practice?"
"Practice and practice, who is afraid of whom?"
The anger of the two sides has reached its peak, just like the United States and the Soviet Union in the Cold War, which may start a war at any time.
Zhao Yuemin stood at the side of the oilfield workers, feeling a little uncomfortable. It's not that he's afraid of fighting, he's physically strong, and he didn't fight a lot when he was a child. It's just that his identity is the same as those small-town youths who are not disappointed at work, but he is lucky enough to enter the oil field.
He can understand the young people in his hometown, and understand what it's like to have no job.
But he also knew that the oil war was imminent, and the Jiangbei Oilfield urgently needed skilled workers who could get started immediately, so he quickly recruited workers from other oilfields, and there were really no extra places in the plan.
When he was in a dilemma, Zhao Yuemin suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd on the other side, and immediately shouted: "Stop!" ”
Zhao Yuemin is the newly appointed driller of the fifth drilling group, and he is also well-known in the drilling team, so as soon as he shouted this, the oilfield workers immediately stopped.
Zhao Yuemin slowly walked between the two groups of people, looked at the group of young people in the town opposite, and shouted: "Hu Dong! ”
On the opposite side, a short-haired young man wearing a scarf and a blue jacket and looking quite strong walked out, and shouted with joy:
"Yuemin!"
The two immediately hugged each other tightly.
"**Bless, you cut the queue and came back alive......"
"You too, Dongzi."
Zhao Yuemin and Hu Dong exchanged warm greetings from proletarian brothers.
Zhao Yuemin turned back to the group of oil workers and said, "Don't fight, don't fight." They are all their own brothers. ”
Hu Dong also waved his hand at those young people in the small town: "Yuemin, my brother, whoever touches him will be against me." ”
This Hu Dong seems to have a very high prestige among the young people in the town, and as soon as he said this, all the young people in Shaohu Town put down the guys in their hands.
In the state-run hotel in Shaohu Town, the heat condensed a large number of water droplets on the glass windows.
Zhao Yuemin opened a private room, two large tables, and more than 20 people sat together.
Melon seeds, candy, stir-fried vegetables, and liquor are all on the table.
Zhao Yuemin put his arm around Hu Dong's shoulders and said to the staff and colleagues on this side of the oilfield; "A few masters, this is my neighbor Dongzi who has played since I was a child. It's good that you didn't do anything with Dongzi. Do you know what he does? The commander of the field army's sharp knife reconnaissance platoon, the first in the unit in combat and pistol shooting. ”
The oilfield workers immediately gasped and looked at Hu Dong with admiration. At first, I only thought he was a little sturdy, but I didn't expect him to have this skill. If I mess with him, I'm really going to fall four or five on my side.
Hu Dong seemed very modest in front of Zhao Yuemin, and he said very little, and said softly: "Our local youth, this matter is not right. ”
"It's okay, it's okay. Since it is Zhao Yuemin's brother, he is also our brother. From now on, we will all be one family. ”
Between the young people, there was no deep hatred and hatred, but when they met with a smile and a grudge, after a few glasses of wine, both sides began to hook their shoulders and call each other brothers.
Zhao Yuemin sensitively found that his friend Hu Dong's mood was not very high, and thought that his service period was not over, and the two stood alone outside the restaurant after the meal, Zhao Yuemin asked Hu Dong about his situation.
A martial arts master like Hu Dong and a platoon commander could have stayed in the army as a professional soldier, and the unit reported that he was the deputy company commander, but the bad result was that Hu Dong acted bravely.
Hu Dong, only when he sees Zhao Yuemin, will he say a few more words, on weekdays, he is a stuffy gourd, and he has very few words. Speaking of the "righteous and courageous act" that made him change jobs ahead of schedule, he was also very aggrieved.
On that day, Hu Dong was procuring goods for the head of the army in the local market and running errands, when he heard hurried footsteps and the crying of a woman behind him.
"Help, kill someone!" I saw a young woman, running ahead in fear.
Behind her, a man with a wooden stick was chasing.
The vendors and pedestrians on the street all avoided the man when they saw the man.
Hu Dong was dressed in a green military uniform, and when he encountered this incident, he naturally remembered the duty of the People's Liberation Army to punish evil and promote good. He immediately got up and stopped at the man with the stick.
In the event that gangsters commit crimes, in accordance with the procedures of the troops, generally speaking, they must first give verbal warnings to the gangsters, make clear their identity as the People's Liberation Army, and then take measures when the other party listens to the advice.
But Hu Dong didn't talk much in life, and he didn't bother to warn, so he went up directly, kicked the other party in the abdomen, kicked the man to the ground, and disarmed the wooden stick in the other party's hand.
The people around him applauded.
But unexpectedly, when the woman who was being chased saw the man being kicked down, she immediately ran back crying, pulling Hu Dong's collar and crying:
"Who told you to beat me up? It's our family's own thing......"
It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs. Hu Dong kicked the woman's husband and broke three ribs, causing quite a stir in the local area. Dozens of relatives of that family have been blocking the gate of the army, demanding that the director of the political department give him a voice.
There was no choice in the army, so Hu Dong had to be professionally demobilized ahead of schedule.
After talking about this, Hu Dong took out a cigarette and lit it, squatted at the door of the restaurant, and smoked in the face of the heavy snow, the depression on his face was not overflowing.
A glorious soldier has now become an idle unemployed young man, and the gap in his heart is self-evident.
Zhao Yuemin also lamented the impermanence of the world, he looked at the small town youths who were drinking happily in the restaurant, and understood that if they were not given a job opportunity, I am afraid that the contradictions between the oil field and the local area would still not be resolved.
If the state-run units can't give enough opportunities, how can they solve the employment problem of their friends?
Zhao Yuemin suddenly thought of something, squatted down and said to Hu Dong:
"Heroes can bend and stretch, Dongzi, you can be self-employed!"
