Originally, Chen Bei's physical fitness was not bad, but in recent years, too much alcohol has led to a decline in his physique, and he has not closed his eyes for more than ten days and nights in the embankment.

Ma Chunhua found that Chen Bei's severed limb had been rubbing violently these days, and it was stained with sewage and began to become inflamed and infected, which must be one of the reasons why he was unconscious.

The next day, when the sky finally cleared, there were drowning animals everywhere, and the government's disaster relief task was very heavy, and no one came to save them in a short time.

The current was still strong, the sun was shining, and some furniture, kitchen utensils, drowned cats, dogs, pigs and sheep, and a few live fish were rushing up in the water.

Chen Bei was still asleep in the shed, Ma Chunhua stripped him clean, hung his clothes on the branches, and a copper-shelled American-made kerosene lighter in his pocket came in handy, Ma Chunhua used it to light dried firewood and reeds, made a fire, picked up two more pots, made a filter with fine sand, filtered some water and boiled, some for drinking, some for cooking fish.

Ma Chunhua cleaned Chen Bei's wound with clean water, and wanted to feed him water, but he couldn't pry his teeth, anyway, there was no one within a radius of more than ten miles, and the heroine also let go, so she simply drank a sip of water herself and fed him mouth to mouth.

This mouth-to-mouth, like a lightning bolt in the dark night, pulled Chen Bei up from the endless abyss, although his sanity has not yet recovered, but subconsciously kissed hotly, Ma Chunhua, who was kissed by a man for the first time, was ashamed and angry, but felt inexplicably happy, gradually, the two rolled together......

Chen Bei hadn't touched a woman for two years since he piloted the uprising, and he had accumulated a lot of toxins in his body after holding it for too long.

He had a dream, a very long spring dream, in the dream a woman turned over the clouds and rain, this person's face kept changing, sometimes it was Elizabeth, sometimes it was a hostess of the Taiwan Air Force Club, sometimes it was Nina, a female translator at the Northeast Base, and sometimes it became Ma Chunhua.

As soon as he touched his body, it was slippery, Chen Bei sat up suddenly, feeling dizzy, and then looking outside, Ma Chunhua was burning the pot with his back to him.

"Secretary Ma, is that you?" Chen Bei asked.

Ma Chunhua didn't look back, and threw Chen Bei's clothes on the branches: "It's dry, put it on." ”

Chen Bei hurriedly kicked on his pants, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

Ma Chunhua boiled two fish, although there was no oil or salt, but the boiled live fish was still delicious, Chen Bei sighed after eating: "This is the best meal I have ever eaten." ”

"The food of the working people is the most fragrant, and the exploiting class is not fragrant even if it is a dragon liver and a phoenix." Ma Chunhua never forgot to educate Chen Bei.

"yes." Chen Bei said sincerely.

Ma Chunhua is not tall, but very strong, revealing the bodybuilding of the working people, with black skin and red skin, five or four heads with ears, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a healthy body, pants rolled up to the knees, wearing a vest on it, probably with a cloth strap inside, and no waves in the chest.

"There's a boat!" Ma Chunhua suddenly put down what she was doing, put her hand on the pergola and looked into the distance, the motor of the machine boat sounded suddenly, and the distance was still far away.

The two immediately waved their hands and shouted loudly, but the people on the boat did not hear them and went straight downstream. Ma Chunhua hurriedly added a wet firewood to the fire, the smoke rose into the air, and the distant machine ship turned around and rushed over here.

They came to look for the bodies of Ma Chunhua and Chen Bei on the orders of the prefectural party committee, but they did not expect to find two big living people, and the comrades were very happy, and they cheered and jumped on the boat, almost trampling the boat overturned.

Although the city was saved, the flood destroyed many hundreds of villages, causing great losses to the lives and property of the people, and the flood was followed by the plague, and the burden on everyone's shoulders would be very heavy.

There is another important thing, the eldest son of the provincial chairman Chen Zikun, Comrade Chen Bei, deputy chief of the security section of the machinery company, died bravely in the flood fighting and rescue, and the body was washed away by the flood and the whereabouts are unknown, so the administrative department has not yet reported it, and wants to wait for the body to be found and then report to the province.

Chen Bei's memorial service is already being prepared, and the eulogy has been written, just waiting for the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee to check it, as for Ma Chunhua, another female comrade who died, the specifications of the memorial service are the same, but there is no one in her family, so she doesn't need to notify anyone.

Suddenly, the phone rang urgently, and a leader picked up the phone, very majestic: "Hey, where?" What, you repeat! ”

Putting down the phone, the leader was very excited: "Chen Bei found it, and Ma Chunhua was together, both of them were rushed downstream, they didn't die, they were very alive." ”

……

Chen Bei and Ma Chunhua were sent to the hospital for a physical examination, and the provincial leaders attached great importance to disaster relief.

Chen Zikun visited his son in the hospital, Chen Bei was lying on the hospital bed, in good spirits, and said to his father: "It was Secretary Ma who saved my life." ”

Ma Chunhua pretended to be like a cow, and she was already fine, and she was accompanying the leader to inspect at this time, Chen Zikun turned her head to look at her and praised: "Comrade Ma is really a heroine, worthy of everyone's learning." ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do." Ma Chunhua actually blushed.

Chen Zikun had many important things to do, and after visiting other comrades who had been injured in the line of duty, he left the hospital to inspect the countryside.

Ma Chunhua didn't follow, she picked up the hot water bottle and went to the tea stove room to fetch hot water, and then went to the canteen to help with the meal. ”

Chen Bei hurriedly explained: "She is not my daughter-in-law, we belong to a factory." ”

The patient is an old worker in his forties, he squinted his eyes and looked at Ma Chunhua, who was busy outside, and said: "With a big waist and a round waist, she is good for birth and maintenance, and she is healthy and good-looking. ”

Chen Bei said angrily: "Comrade, don't mess up with others, okay?" ”

The patient smiled and stopped talking.

Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open, and a man in a white shirt walked in with a fruit box, which was none other than his old friend Yang Shugen.

A day ago, Yang Shugen saw a report on the Huaijiang Daily about the flood hero Chen Bei, and only then did he know that his childhood friend had been transferred from the army to work in the Jiangbei Machinery Company, and at this time he was suffering in the countryside of Kushuijing, the conditions here were too poor, the township government only had two bicycles left over from the Japanese period, and the rain was full of mud, and he walked on two legs.

He knew that Chen Bei's father was Chen Zikun, the chairman of the provincial government, and if he followed his route, he might be able to be transferred to work in the city.

So, Yang Shugen bought two catties of snacks, rubbed the jeep of the county government and came to Beitai City, where the administrative office is stationed, and first went to visit the leader of the administrative department, Mai Pingmai, to report on the ideological work, and then went to the hospital to visit Chen Bei.

Old friends saw each other, very cordial, talking about their respective work, they were deeply touched, and while chatting, Ma Chunhua came in with a pot of clothes, and said strangely: "Secretary Yang, why are you here?" ”

Yang Shugen and Ma Chunhua once pretended to be husband and wife for a period of time, but it was completely for the needs of work, there was no skin-to-skin relationship between the two, and there was no exchange of ideas, that is, the general revolutionary comradeship, but Yang Shugen definitely did not dare to underestimate Ma Chunhua, this girl's political future is much more ambitious than herself, not only can not be offended, but also have to be a good stutter.

"Oh, it's Secretary Ma, I haven't seen you for a long time, your face is getting more and more ruddy." Yang Shugen has been at the grassroots level for a long time, and he has also practiced a mouth, and when he sees that everyone has something to say, he also picks what the other party likes to hear.

Ma Chunhua is a woman after all, she is usually busy with work and neglects to dress up, but she still loves beauty in her bones, and when she heard Yang Shugen praise her beautiful face, she couldn't help but smile: "Really? ”

Seeing that they were all section chiefs and secretaries, the patient was ashamed of himself and said, "You talk, I'll go out to smoke a cigarette." ”

The three of them knew each other, and they talked very casually and naturally, and after talking for a while, suddenly the door opened again, and it was Chen Yan who came back.

Poplar Root's heart beat violently.

He has never forgotten Chen Yan, this is his first love, he died without illness but hard to remember, always remember, worked in the countryside for many years, and came and went not with a village woman with a yellow face and thin muscles, or a spicy and robust "literacy class" like Ma Chunhua, at this moment to see Chen Yan again, like a green lotus in thousands of dog's tail flowers, refreshing, with a long aftertaste.

Chen Yan is a member of the medical team dispatched by the provincial capital, specially to the flood-stricken areas of Jiangbei to prevent and control the plague, and took the time to visit the eldest brother in the hospital.

"Thank you for saving my big brother." Chen Yan took the initiative to shake hands with Ma Chunhua.

Ma Chunhua knows Chen Yan, she has seen her before liberation, but she has not dealt with her much, she doesn't like this kind of bourgeois lady in her heart, her skin is so white, she has never done farm work at a glance, her waist is so thin, it seems to break when she is broken, how to carry a burden, how to carry a doll.

Chen Yan looked at Yang Shugen and Ma Chunhua with a smile: "Do you have a child?" ”

"We're not two!" Yang Shugen and Ma Chunhua said in unison.

Yang Shugen had already wanted to explain this matter, and although Ma Chunhua didn't understand the virtuous couple, she could also mean anything.

"Yan'er, don't mess with the mandarin duck spectrum, they were a fake couple arranged by the organization to cover their identities." Chen Bei explained.

"Oh, that's a pity." Chen Yan said with a smile.

Chen Yan took the time to visit her eldest brother, and she only stayed for five minutes to return to the medical team, as soon as she proposed to leave, Yang Shugen was also a little restless, and hurriedly asked the medical team's itinerary, when to go to the bitter well to diagnose the villagers.

"Otherwise, I'll give it to you." Yang Shugen is now much thicker-skinned, and he feels that he must not give up the opportunity, because in the past, he was to get close to Chen Zikun and obtain information for the party, but now he is also to get close to Chen Zikun, so that he will be more politically progressive and shoulder greater responsibilities, and he will be transferred from the countryside to the city as soon as possible.

Of course, he does like Chen Yan, there is no doubt about it, every sleepless night in the countryside, he fantasizes that Chen Yan is next to him, and spends a lot of toilet paper for this, so that the old Chinese medicine doctor in the countryside looks at his face and persuades him to moderate some marital life.

Chen Yan and Yang Shugen left, only Ma Chunhua was left in the ward, she took an apple and handed it to Chen Bei: "Eat the apple." ”

"How to eat without peeling." Chen Beidao.

Ma Chunhua picked up the fruit knife, how could she peel apples like a potato peel and scrape the apples into squares like a potato skin.

Chen Bei smiled dumbly, took the fruit knife and an apple, the peeled apple skin was as thin as a cicada's wings, continuous, and the peeled apple was round and very good-looking.

"The bourgeoisie just enjoys it, and they are so particular about eating an apple." Ma Chunhua took an apple with skin, wiped it twice on her sleeve, took a vicious bite, and said, "Chen Bei, you are in your early Chinese New Year's Eve, what are your considerations in terms of personal problems?" ”
