A few days later, the Muling Coal Mine received an urgent telegram from Soviet Russia. The telegram was sent to Karanishkov. Karanishkov turned on the telegram and his eyes turned red. Dobrynin hurriedly took the telegram, and even the voice of the telegram changed: "Father is critically ill, receive the telegram, please return quickly." Karanishkov threw himself into Dobrynin's arms and began to sob.

Hui Mingshan still couldn't believe it, snatched the telegram, read it several times in a row before he dared to believe it, compassion spontaneously arose, and he stroked Karanishkov's shoulder and said: "Don't be sad, Karanishkov, you quickly pack up your things and go home." Karanishkov plunged into Huimingshan's arms again, and wiped Huimingshan's body with snot and tears.

Dobrynin said: "Hui, you know, the coal mine is still inseparable from Karanishkov for the time being, and Karanishkov has returned to China, what can the coal mine do?" ”

Hui Mingshan said: "The matter of the coal mine can be put aside, Karanishkov's father's illness is afraid that he will not wait for anyone, and he will not be allowed to return to China at this time, which is unreasonable." Ming Hai, what do you say? ”

Hui Minghai nodded and said, "The Chinese live in the world and put filial piety first. I believe that my father is here, and he will definitely let Karanishkov return to China as soon as possible. The coal mine is now inseparable from Karanishkov for the time being, but I also believe that without Karanishkov we can cope with it. I'll see what to do, let Dobrynin quickly help Karanishkov pack up his things, and I'll drive Karanishkov away immediately. ”

Karanishkov said: "Megumi, thank you, thank you." You guys are really good friends of mine. However, please rest assured that as soon as my father's condition improves, I will be back immediately. ”

Dobrynin said: "Hui, then I'll help Karanishkov pack things." After packing up my things, I'll drive him away. I haven't been home for a long time, and I miss my relatives at home very much, and I want to take this opportunity to buy some things for him to bring back. ”

Hui Minghai said: "It's okay, drive slowly on the road." Stay safe. Don't rush back, the coal mine has me and my eldest brother here, you can rest assured. ”

Barely before the car left the Muling coal mine, Karanishkov's tears dried. Dobrynin said as he drove: "Comrade Karanishkov, if you are in a hurry, they will not be suspicious, right?" ”

Karanishkov said: "I don't think so. Comrade Dobrynin, after I leave, you will be left alone, and you should be more careful yourself, and do not contact anyone unless you have to. ”

Dobrynin nodded, "I know here." While I'm here, I always feel a little risky to take a detour to Pear Tree Town. Comrade Karanishkov, I think it's better not to go, and if there is an emergency, please believe that I will have other ways to solve it. ”

Karanishkov shook his head resolutely and said, "No, you must take a risk here." Comrade Dobrynin, the line in Lishu Town has always been my one-line contact, and when I leave, this line must not be broken, and we cannot afford to lose this line. Besides, I thought about it carefully, before returning to China, I would say hello to the chairman and explain my work, and there would be absolutely no problem with an excuse here. It shouldn't arouse the suspicion of others. Trust my instincts. ”

Dobrynin said: "Comrade Nishkarakov, for some reason, I always feel that there are a pair of eyes staring at us behind our back. ”

Nish Karakov said: "Comrade Dobrynin, you are here for a mental role. Your cautious approach to work is commendable, but I personally believe that excessive caution is completely unnecessary. ”

Dobrynin knew that he could not convince Karanishkov, but he did not want to expose it, so he changed his tone and said: "Comrade Karanishkov, you know what I mean, I mean, although the town of Lishu is small, according to the Chinese, it is a mixture of fish and dragons, and it is necessary to be cautious when working in such a place." ”

Karanishkov said: "Of course, we are now focusing on the Japanese. He pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, Comrade Dobrynin, I have to go to Pear Tree Town, and the line here in Pear Tree Town cannot be broken no matter what." Once we lose this transfer station, our communication with our superiors will inevitably be greatly affected, and we can't afford it. When you get to Pear Tree, you don't show up, I'll tell our people, I'm going to be out of here for a while, and someone else will contact him. As for when to contact, it's up to you to be flexible. ”

By the time the car drove into Lishu Town, it was already late, and some people had even gone to bed. As soon as Dou Laocheng plugged in the door bolt, Karanishkov hurriedly knocked on the door of the Hui family.

Hui Xiangdong had just gone to bed, and he was about to make love when he hugged Dou Dajiao when he heard a quick knock on the door outside. Knock on the door in the middle of the night, something must happen. Especially when the family is still running a mine, nothing is enough, and something must be a big deal. Hui Xiangdong got up as soon as he got up, put on his clothes and asked, "Who?" ”

Karanishkov said: "Chairman, it's me, Karanishkov. ”

Hui Xiangdong was immediately frightened, Karanishkov knocked on the door in the middle of the night, it must have been a big incident in the mine, hurriedly went to the ground, and did not bother to mention his shoes, so he ran out with his shoes in his hands. At this time, Dou Laocheng had already opened the door, and Karanishkov stood at the door, but refused to enter the hospital. Hui Xiangdong became more and more panicked, took three steps and made two steps, and after a few steps came closer, grabbed Karanishkov's hand and asked urgently: "Is there something wrong with the mine?" ”

Before Karanishkov could speak, tears fell one by one, and he took out a telegram and reported: "Chairman, there is nothing wrong with the mine, my father is critically ill." Here's an urgent telegram from home. I have come to bid you farewell. ”

Hui Xiangdong's heart fell to the ground, he took a long breath, took the telegram, and said while reading: "What kind of disease does the old man have?" ”

Karaishkov shook his head and said: "It was not written on the telegram. ”

Hui Xiangdong said: "Since the old man is seriously ill and receives a telegram, you can leave quickly, why do you come to me?" ”

Karanishkov said: "You are the chairman, how can I leave at will without your consent." ”

Hui Xiangdong said: "When encountering problems, you should know the priorities and know how to be flexible." On the contrary, it would be too pedantic to do everything according to the rules. He glanced outside the courtyard and saw the vehicle that sent him, and said strangely: "Why didn't anyone drive the car to you?" ”

Karanishkov said: "Someone sent it." It was Dobrynin who drove me here. The coal mine was just a car, and I was worried that something would happen to the coal mine, so I asked him to rush back overnight. ”

Hui Xiangdong said: "When is it here, you still care about here." Looking at the sky, he said, "You can't leave tonight." Come on in, stay with me tonight. ”

Karanishkov waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, chairman, I think, I still won't bother you." When I came to your house, I happened to pass by the big car shop, and it hasn't closed yet, so I'd better go and stay there. ”
