At the end of March, the spring is bright, the spring flowers are blooming everywhere, the warm spring breeze blows people lazily, Ningbo Port Wharf, a busy, a large number of soldiers, as well as some ordinary people, everyone is busy at the wharf.

Ningbo Port Wharf is undergoing a major expansion, the area of the wharf will be expanded several times, the berthing position of ships will also be greatly increased, and all kinds of building materials are piled up on the huge wharf, cement, sand, and even steel.

A large number of sturdy men wearing short-sleeved gowns, sweating profusely, some women are also helping, everyone is digging and digging, picking up soil, and many people are pouring cement, building steel skeletons, building walls and so on.

On the wharf, there are many small bungalows, which are rows of newly built small bungalows, some of which are staff's offices, some are used to store tools, and some are rest rooms, or canteens, where everyone eats on the construction site.

All the ordinary people who come to participate in the construction are provided with three meals a day, the meals are full, and the salary of five oceans a month is opened, and thousands of ordinary people in the entire Ningbo area are participating in the construction of the wharf.

Not only the wharf, but also the area around Ningbo, the construction of highways and railways, and the construction of various factories, there are a large number of ordinary people participating in labor.

In front of a bungalow, there are a few tables, and several soldiers in military uniforms are holding a thick account book, carefully checking, today is the day to pay wages to the common people.

The ledger records it clearly and clearly, when did each ordinary person who participated in labor start to participate in labor, how many days of labor, and how much money should be paid. It was all well documented, and the fighters checked it again to make sure it was safe.

Around noon. Everyone worked on their crafts, took a short break for an hour at noon, and finished lunch on the construction site.

In front of a small bungalow, there are several large wooden basins lined up, and several wooden basins are piled high, steaming white rice, and several wooden basins are fried steaming dishes. There are three dishes in total, two vegetarian dishes and one meat dish.

"It's time to eat. It's time to eat......"

Several soldiers of the cooking squad who were in charge of the meals opened their throats and shouted, and when they heard the shouts of the soldiers, hundreds of ordinary people who participated in the labor consciously lined up in a long line with large bowls. One by one, they stepped forward.

The entire marina. There are ten such small canteens, and thousands of ordinary people rely on these small canteens to eat, and each canteen has a cooking class of soldiers and a few women to help them.

This small bungalow next to it, lined up with seven or eight rooms, two of which are used as kitchens, and the remaining few are where everyone eats. Everyone was eating outside.

"It's so fragrant, what's going on today?"

"Today is the end of the month. There should be meat to eat. ”

"Wow, look at Lao Zhang, it seems to be stir-fried meat with green vegetables."

An ordinary person, with his single clothes open, revealing bronzed skin, with a smile on his face, holding a big bowl of rice piled up with sharp points, this is Lao Zhang, there is a dish in the bowl that is fried meat with green vegetables, it looks like there is a lot of meat, less vegetables, and a lot of oil and water.

Eat meat three times a month, today is the end of the month, naturally there is meat to eat, and the portion is very sufficient, many people in line to see this tempting green vegetables fried meat, can't help but swallow saliva.

Now is the era of war, most of the ordinary people do not have enough to eat, there is no meat for the whole month, and they can only fight the tooth sacrifice during the New Year's Festival, which is like here, you can eat meat every ten days, and the meals are full.

"It's delicious, it's so enjoyable."

Not far away, several ordinary people who were cooking well were squatting under the warm sun, eating, shouting that they were happy.

"Little monkey, you look like you've gained a few pounds in the past half a month." A middle-aged man said with a smile.

A thin young man, still full of childishness, looked only about seventeen or eighteen years old, although he still looked very thin, but his face was a little flushed, far from the same as when he first came to the dock to participate in labor half a month ago.

"Uncle Liu, this half a month is the time when I have eaten the best and eaten the most." The skinny young man stuffed a large piece of pork in his mouth, his mouth full of greasy, and said contentedly.

"Little monkey do a good job, General Ye really didn't say anything to us people, I have lived for more than 40 years, the first time I met such a good person, everyone has to work hard, we can't lose our Liu Lizhuang's face."

"Uncle Liu, don't worry!"

As more and more people put on meals, a large number of ordinary people who had just participated in the labor were in groups, either squatting or standing, enjoying a rare meal under the warm spring sun.

After lunch, everyone either chatted or found a place to lie on the ground and take a short rest.

The one-hour break was about to end, and when everyone was about to start work, several off-road vehicles drove outside, and in everyone's curious eyes, these off-road vehicles stopped, and more than a dozen fighters got out of the cars.

These soldiers got out of the car and lifted two large boxes from these off-road vehicles, and many ordinary people who were preparing to start work next to them looked at these fighters.

A soldier with the rank of captain, holding a loudspeaker, shouted loudly: "Pay your salary this afternoon, everyone will receive the money first and then work." ”

Hearing the captain's shout, suddenly, the whole dock quickly became lively, although everyone guessed that today is the end of the month, and the salary may be paid today, but the captain said it, the situation is different, hearing the good news, some cheered, some excited, and the whole scene was filled with this happy and lively atmosphere.

"Everyone line up, the third district is here to get paid." The captain continued to shout loudly with a bullhorn.

Thousands of people participate in labor in the entire Ningbo port wharf, divided into ten labor areas, sub-district management, here is the third district, hundreds of people participating in labor here to receive money.

Several soldiers, carrying two large boxes, heavy, put the two large wooden boxes on the table, in the enthusiastic and hot eyes of everyone, the two wooden boxes opened in front of everyone's eyes, and the boxes were neatly placed and wrapped in red paper in the ocean.

The soldiers, who were in charge of distributing their wages, immediately shouted to everyone: "Don't worry, everyone, if we call a name, one person will come up, one by one, and everyone will have a share." ”

Two or three warriors took out a large ocean wrapped in red paper from the box and placed it on the table one by one, and another soldier picked up a large ocean and opened the red paper package, revealing the white ocean inside.

Unwrapping one ocean after another, the ocean of white flowers swayed everyone's eyes, everyone's eyes were full of oceans, and everyone's eyes stared at these oceans motionlessly.

"Oh my God, it's the first time I've seen so many oceans in my life!" Many ordinary people exclaimed.

Everyone is a poor people, there is not much money left over all year round, and at the end of the year, all the people who can save three or five oceans are wealthy families, and no one here has seen so many white flowers in the ocean at one time.

There are hundreds of ordinary people working in the three districts, and there are nearly 2,000 oceans here, so many oceans, just like this, a large number of them are placed in front of everyone's eyes, why aren't you excited, why aren't your eyes hot.

"Wang Xiaozhu!"

The captain, who was in charge of distributing wages, shouted out the first name, a young man of medium height, who immediately ran over happily, and a soldier next to him picked up four oceans from the list and handed them to Wang Xiaozhu.

Taking over this heavy, white ocean, the young man named Wang Xiaozhu looked happy and excited, and muttered in his mouth: "Get rich, get rich......"

"Sun Erdan!"

"Liu Xiaoshi!"

……

One by one, every time a name is called, a person with an excited face stepped forward to take over his ocean, and when he got these oceans, everyone was beaming, as if it was a New Year.

Hundreds of people were distributed for nearly an hour, and the ocean on the table was all distributed, and everyone received the ocean, as little as two or three yuan, and as many as five or six yuan, according to the number of days they participated in labor.

A relatively old man with a gray beard looks like he has a sixtieth birthday, and his face is full of traces of time, and he looks like a poor common man.

This man with a sixtieth armor received five oceans, tears flashed in his eyes, and he muttered: "General Ye is a good man, please bless General Ye from your ancestors and ancestors." ”

The people who are grateful to Ye Feng in their hearts are definitely not only this one person, almost all the ordinary people, and everyone is full of deep gratitude to Ye Feng in their hearts.

After the month's salary, everyone immediately put into the hot labor, and everyone was full of enthusiasm, as if there was endless energy.

When working, many people still secretly take a look at their oceans from time to time, or quietly touch them, whether these oceans are still there, until now, many people feel as if they are dreaming.

During the labor break, we took a ten-minute break, everyone sat down, smoked a cigarette, and chatted.

There was a young man, looking at the few oceans in his hand, he couldn't help but think of his fiancée in the village, the handsome girl who grew up as a childhood sweetheart, thinking about it, he couldn't help but say in his heart: "Erya, Brother Huzi will work here for a few more months, save twenty oceans, and then marry you in a beautiful way." Let you be the happiest bride in the world. ”

Not far away, a middle-aged uncle also took out his ocean and looked at it, and couldn't help but think of his children, and thought to himself, I would take a few days off and go back to make a new dress for each of my children. ”

In the afternoon.

Just as everyone was working in full swing and working hard to build the Ningbo Port wharf, a huge fleet came over from the sea.
