Liu Laohan and Lao He are a pair of in-laws. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After taking care of the whole house, it was finally time to embark on the road to work together!
Due to the large number of people who were drafted this time, all the migrant workers who were called up had to gather in their respective counties......
Therefore, on this official road, almost all of them are strong laborers from all directions, and Liu Laohan's father and son are also mixed in it.
At this time, Liu Yuan, who was carrying the luggage with a flat shoulder, looked at so many people, and asked his father a little worriedly, "Dad, you said that so many people are going to apply, can we apply for the job?" ”
Liu Laohan didn't speak yet, but it was Lao He's son, He Hao answered: "Brother Yuanzi, why are you worried about this? You know, we're a village close to town! ”
"If we can't make it in time to get off now, wouldn't those remote villages, those people who have only just gotten the news now, be blind?"
"Hmm!"
Lao He couldn't help but snort and agreed with his son's remarks......
Then he said to Liu Laohan: "In-laws, our two families should be the first to get the news, so don't worry about this kind of thing!" ”
"It's the people in the remote villages who should be worried, because when they receive the news, they are indeed late ...... us."
Liu Laohan can reprimand his son at will, but he can't help but give his in-laws three points of face, so when Lao He's voice just fell.
Liu Laohan answered: "Actually, even if we can't go, we don't worry, after all, there is danger in traveling far away, not to mention that now in Hainan, we can still eat enough, to be honest, we may not want to follow the Patriotic Army and go all the way to do things!" ”
Liu Yuan saw that his father was hesitating again, and couldn't help but pout his lips secretly!
Lao He agrees with Liu Laohan's attitude, after all, older people are definitely different from young people.
So at this time, a pair of in-laws got together, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became......
On the contrary, He Hao and Liu Yuan each carried their luggage, walked faster and faster, and left their respective fathers behind.
Young people are always adventurous, and of course they don't want to walk with two old men......
It wasn't until they left their respective fathers far away and almost couldn't see their figures that He Hao and Liu Yuan slowed down and followed behind the crowd, inquiring about all kinds of information about this operation.
When they were about to walk outside the county assembly point, Liu Laohan and Lao He Cai followed, and at this time, He Hao and Liu Yuan had already inquired about everything they should inquire about!
Therefore, after the two families arrived at the county seat, they almost didn't delay to ask for directions or anything, but went straight to their destination......
After registering at the check-in point in the county seat, naturally everyone received several sets of work clothes, to put it bluntly, soldiers' uniforms with epaulettes and collar badges removed.
This also makes He Hao and Liu Yuan excited, being a soldier is the dream of every man who has never been a soldier, and having such a few sets of grass-green clothes is enough for two young people to be excited for a long time!
Just when the two wanted to try on clothes on the spot, they were reminded by the staff: there are also daily dry food, as well as a quilt and various toiletries for each person, etc., and they have to queue up to get it.
There must still be benefits to take, Liu Laohan immediately woke up Liu Yuan, who was so excited, that he couldn't do it, and then pulled Lao He and went straight to the place where he received various welfare supplies......
Night has finally fallen!
For every 30 men, the Workers' Army was allotted a tent and set up a steward, and at this time each tent was bustling with activity...... Although the stewards of each tent were shouting, they couldn't suppress the excitement!
Like many young people, Liu Yuan and He Hao at this time also cleaned up the daily necessities issued to them by the Patriotic Army, such as iron bowls and chopsticks, over and over again......
And Lao He and Liu Laohan took out the steamed buns and cooking cakes that the Weiguo Army issued to themselves and others at night, and a pair of in-laws sat on the bed and smiled from ear to ear!
Liu Laohan said: "I didn't expect the Patriotic Army to be so benevolent and righteous, and before the start of work, they began to distribute food, now it's okay, the food we brought earlier can be saved and taken ......home."
Before Lao He could pick up Liu Laohan's words, another man in the same tent next to him sneered: "I don't know where the hillbilly came from?" came to do things for the Patriotic Army, and even brought their own dry food? How stupid that must be! ”
"Haha......"
This man's words immediately caused laughter from more than twenty or thirty people in a tent.
Liu Laohan felt a little unable to get off the stage, and he was timid and afraid of things, but he didn't dare to open his mouth to refute, and he was stunned for a while......
But the young and vigorous Liu Yuan was not stunned, he immediately picked up the iron bowl and ran straight over, and at the same time, Liu Hao was stunned and made the same choice!
Next, in the entire tent, a full martial arts show was staged, Liu Laohan and Lao He didn't dare to do it, and went up to help their son, but the man on the opposite side had six or seven partners from the same village.
So it didn't take long for Liu Yuan and He Hao to be pressed to the ground and beaten fatly!
Just as those men looked triumphantly at the twenty or thirty people in the entire tent, showing off their strength.
"Bang!"
A gunshot suddenly rang out outside the tent door, and after shocking everyone, more than a dozen soldiers of the Patriotic Army walked in.
Without saying a word, he escorted away all the dozen or so people who participated in the fight with each other, leaving only Liu Laohan and Lao He in a hurry in the tent, but they didn't know what to do!
He Hao and Liu Yuan were forcibly escorted by the soldiers of the Patriotic Army into an army tent, and the two of them, including six or seven men opposite, were forced to squat in the corner, and after waiting for a long time, an officer walked in outside the tent.
Soon the interrogation began, and the front had been quite smooth, but when it was Liu Yuan's turn, the officer asked, "Why did you provoke first?" ”
Liu Yuan straightened his neck and said, "They laughed at my father first, and then I moved my hand......"
The officer's fingers kept tapping on the table, and no one spoke in the entire tent, just when Liu Yuan thought that he and He Hao were going to be unlucky.
But the officer said: "Maintaining the dignity of a father is what a son of man should do, very good!" You're right, young man! ”
Then he beckoned two more soldiers and sent Liu Yuan and He Hao back......
Just as Liu Laohan was about to see through, the tent door was suddenly opened, and He Hao and Liu Yuan, who were beaten very miserably, were sent back, but the previous men did not come back with them.
The next day, the tent manager brought He Hao and Liu Yuan a piece of news that those people who stirred up trouble had been punished and confiscated into hard labor!
In other words, they have to work for at least a quarter, but they don't get paid.
When He Hao and Liu Yuan heard the news, they smacked their tongues!
This punishment is not insignificant, but fortunately, the Patriotic Army-officer is very talkative, and after asking the reason for the incident, he quickly and inexplicably let his two brothers go, otherwise......
After this blow, Liu Laohan and Lao He watched their respective sons closely, and they were no longer allowed to go out to cause trouble!
Compared with each other's father's nervousness, Liu Yuan and He Hao did not fall silent, but ran around in the camp, and soon inquired about all the routines......
For example, all the migrant workers who worked for the Patriotic Army this time didn't actually need to bring any belongings themselves, as long as they brought someone over!
Not only is food and shelter included, but even if someone is sick, they can get free treatment......
Time was in the process of waiting, and slowly another seven or eight days passed, until this temporary garrison had gathered one or two thousand people.
Only then did they receive the order, and everyone was ready to set off for Haikou.
There are tens of thousands of people, boundless!
In this team of more than 20,000 people, Liu Yuan and He Hao seemed very excited, except for coming to Hainan Island last year...... In their lives, the two have never seen such a big scene.
But after the excitement at the beginning passed, knowing that there were still dozens of miles away from Haikou, the two of them were like frosted eggplants in an instant!
After walking for a while, I suddenly came from nowhere, and when the team arrived at Haikou, in the process of waiting for the boat, individuals could move a little freely, and they didn't have to be like a temporary gathering point, like being in prison and completely losing their freedom.
Hearing this news, Liu Yuan's heart moved, he still owed He Hao a big favor beside him, after all, not everyone dares to be so righteous!
Knowing that he can't win, he is willing to rush up to help himself, He Hao is so righteous, he can't be unkind!
Otherwise, when I return to the village in the future, I don't want to be laughed at to death, and I may not even be able to marry a daughter-in-law.
So after Liu Yuan secretly pondered for a while, he touched the inside of the satchel, and the few coins and bits and pieces of private silver he had saved, and he suddenly felt bold!
Said to He Hao: "Brother, when we get to Haikou and we are free, brother, I must invite you to drink two glasses, and when the time comes, we will get drunk and rest, you must not admit it!" ”
Before He Hao agreed, Liu Laohan was a bull's-eyed glare: "Invite people to drink two cups?" You tell Lao Tzu, where did you get the money? Did you secretly save money for your private house? ”
At this time, He Hao's father and son also reacted, Lao He hurriedly pulled He Hao behind him, not letting him speak, and he stepped forward and said, "Lao Liu, what are you doing?" ”
"Yuanzi, such a big person! How about saving some private money? You're on the line here, and you're not afraid of making jokes! ”
When Liu Laohan heard this, he hurriedly looked around, and sure enough, his voice was a little louder just now, and he didn't know how many people were watching his father and son's jokes.
He turned his head and scolded Liu Yuan: "The little rabbit cub can do you!" I'll clean up your ...... when you get to Haikou."
Next, the two families continued to go on the road without mentioning it, but Liu Yuan took advantage of Liu Laohan's inattention, and winked at He Hao one after another......
