Chapter 9: Hu Lin

Zhao Yuemin put his hands in his pockets, looked at the ten great solidarities on the bed, shook his head and said, "Dongzi, this is your hard-earned money, I can't ask for it." ”

"What nonsense with me? Let you take it, and you will take it. ”

Zhao Yuemin thought to himself that he was busy for his old friends to solve employment problems, to make charcoal stoves, to borrow jeeps, and to greet the team. If you take this money, the nature of it will change.

"Dongzi, the team leader I just mentioned. If I take your money and the team finds out, I'll be in trouble. Zhao Yuemin didn't plan to accept this money. He is the team leader and the leader of the workers, if he doesn't even have this awareness, how can he lead the team to drill. Besides, he also has a salary on weekdays, and he is not short of money for the time being.

Hu Dong heard Zhao Yuemin talk about the future, was silent for a moment, and said: "In this way, after a while, I will find a way to get a bicycle for the well team and hand it over to the team in your name." Yuemin, no matter what you think, anyway, no matter how much money I make in my business in the future, you will definitely have a share. I'll save it for you. ”

Hu Dong did what he said, and half a month later, he pushed a brand-new permanent brand bicycle and handed it to the team in the name of the barbecue stall and Zhao Yuemin, saying that it was for the comrades of the well team.

In this way, the deputy captain Wang Wei was very happy, saying that there were more than 100 people in the team and a jeep, and it was quite convenient to have this bicycle if they went out to run an errand on weekdays.

After two months of development, Hudong's barbecue stall has become more and more large-scale. In the oil field, the oil production plant and the logistics department also opened two "branches", and twenty or thirty young people from the town participated in them, shouting and jumping, carrying all kinds of bird and rabbit catching tools, to encircle and suppress the small wild animals around the town.

The three barbecue stalls, all the revenue, were directly handed over to Hu Dong, and then distributed by Hu Dong. Hu Dong has a calm personality and is a demobilized soldier, and his influence among the young people in the town is very high. He also distributed the money fairly, as long as the participants had a share, and they also followed the big pot of rice in the people's commune. Although in terms of income distribution, distribution according to work has not yet been realized, but this barbecue stall business has made a group of young people in the town stay away from idle fights and have a legitimate career.

In the early spring, the drizzle is dripping underground, the ice lake is thawing, the spring breeze is on the south bank of the Green River, and the land is a scene of prosperity.

Zhao Yuemin squatted at the door of the dormitory, canvas and thin iron pipes piled up on the ground. He was going to build a simple canopy for Hu Dong's barbecue stand.

Halfway through, Zhao Yuemin felt an itch on his body, and someone was poking himself with his finger. When he looked back, he saw a young girl with a ponytail, wearing a bright red cloth jacket, with her hands behind her back, looking at him with a youthful smile.

Zhao Yuemin has been mixing in the men's gang of the drilling team, and his life is as simple and simple as the monks in the temple. Leng Buding had such a girl looking at him, which made him a little unacceptable.

"Lesbian eating...... No...... Lesbian, who are you looking for? Zhao Yuemin's tongue was knotted.

"Brother Yuemin......" The ponytail girl tilted her head and shouted in a slightly delicate voice.

Zhao Yuemin almost sat on the ground, he was a little embarrassed and said, "Are you ......?"

"I'm Hu Dong's sister, Hu Lin." The ponytail girl smiled with a spring breeze.

"Hu Lin? Are you Hu Lin? Zhao Yuemin stood up happily, looked Hu Lin up and down, and said incredulously: "How big has you grown?" ”

Zhao Yuemin was naughty with Hu Dong when he was a child, and Hu Lin always followed the two of them, like a little tail that couldn't be shaken off.

When the young Zhao Yuemin was fine, he told the little girl Hu Lin all kinds of ghost stories, such as a red head rope, a green hat, and an embroidered shoe, which made the little girl cry every time.

Looking at the slim Hu Lin in front of him, Zhao Yuemin was a little embarrassed when he remembered this naughty thing when he was a child. He asked Hu Lin about her condition, and Hu Lin was now in her second year of high school and attending the newly built Oilfield No. 1 Middle School. At that time, high school was only two years old, so Hu Lin was about to graduate.

Zhao Yuemin was surprised, and Hu Lin was even more surprised. Where did she think that Zhao Yuemin, a mischievous boy in the alley, had become a handsome and sturdy young man in a blink of an eye, and he became the leader of the drilling team at a young age. In those days, the brilliance of workers shone much brighter than the white-collar workers of the Fortune 500 companies now. A tall and handsome young team leader will naturally win the favor of young girls.

"Brother Yuemin, I want to thank you for doing my brother a great favor. If it weren't for you, he would have nothing to do all day long, fighting people on the street, and I don't know how much trouble he would have caused. Hu Lin counted his brother like a little adult, and took out a shiny apple from his arms, his goose egg face suddenly turned red, and he handed it to Zhao Yuemin, and said in a soft voice, "Brother Yuemin, it's for you." ”

Zhao Yuemin stretched out his hands and showed Hu Lin his hands full of oil, signaling that he had no way to take it, and he was making a canopy for Hu Dong.

Hu Lin nodded, she glanced at the dormitory, walked in and put the apple on the table. This little girl still wanted to visit with curiosity, but she was quickly escaped by the smell of sweat hanging on all kinds of unwashed clothes in the dormitory.

"Sit down for a while. Wait for a bus to get to the camp and you can go back to town. Zhao Yuemin said.

Hu Lin carried a small stool, sat next to Zhao Yuemin, put his hands on his cheeks, made the appearance of the flowers of the motherland, and looked at Zhao Yuemin with simple eyes.

Zhao Yuemin snorted lightly, saying that he wanted to continue the work of covering the canopy, but found that he couldn't concentrate on it, and he always made the wrong steps, either the canvas was cut to the wrong size, or the bracket was not in place, so he was in a hurry.

Hu Lin didn't seem to see Zhao Yuemin's embarrassment, she was attracted by a young man's focused demeanor, with a pair of big black and bright eyes, constantly glancing at Zhao Yuemin.

Zhao Yuemin wiped the sweat on his head, looked at the canopy on the ground that was messed up by himself, looked up into the distance, and muttered:

"The bus hasn't arrived yet?"

As he spoke, the long-lost gray minibus swayed to the camp.

Hu Lin stood up with a smile and waved at Zhao Yuemin:

"Brother Yuemin, I'm leaving, I have time to come to Oilfield No. 1 Middle School to play."

The next day was a rest day, and Zhao Yuemin really went to Oilfield No. 1 Middle School. In those days, there was no hot water supply for showers in the home. Basically, people in the neighborhood take a bath and go to the public bathhouse of the oil field middle school. Zhao Chunda found a job burning boiler in the No. 1 Oilfield Middle School, specializing in the water temperature of the bathhouse. When they were fine, the father and son wore slippers and swaggered to the No. 1 Middle School in the oil field.

Oilfield No. 1 Middle School covers an area of more than 80 acres, which is as big as a castle. The bathhouse alone has several hot pools. The facilities are top-notch, so it naturally becomes a place for people in the neighborhood to communicate after work.

Zhao Yuemin washed comfortably, coinciding with the warm spring flowers, and it was not cold, and after washing, he wandered around the green campus of Oilfield No. 1 Middle School, and happened to meet several middle school students practicing guitar in the woods.

He stepped forward, had a friendly chat with the middle school students, took the guitar, plucked the strings, and played an interlude from the Yugoslav film "The Bridge."

"That morning, I woke up from a dream,"

"Ah, goodbye, friend, goodbye, goodbye."

"Woke up from a dream one morning."

"The invaders broke into my hometown."

"Ah, guerrillas, take me away."

"Ah, goodbye, friend, goodbye, goodbye."

The afterglow of the evening sunset shone on Zhao Yuemin, playing the guitar, and he gently hummed the song "Goodbye, Friend".

The melodious melody and the handsome youth form a landscape, and many people around gradually watch and admire.

At this time, Zhao Yuemin didn't know that among the crowd of onlookers, Hu Lin was standing who had just come out of the public bath.

With long hair and a shawl, she was wet, carrying a basin and a towel, barefoot and wearing slippers, hiding in the crowd, looking at Zhao Yuemin blankly......
