Chapter 133: Stay Away
Chapter 133: Stay Away
Dahong received remittances from Huamei, paying all the wages back to the workers who decided to leave, and the crisis finally subsided temporarily. He went into the orchard and carefully inspected the ripe leaves of the mandarin oranges, which had suffered some damage from the recent storms, but not in the way. But he thought about it, if he had just pulled out the tender shoots, he would encounter a typhoon......
Da Hung then went to several nearby orange farms to observe, and his orange trees were barely affected. Recalling the words of Lao Ke and Old Man Dai of the Foreign Affairs Office, I confirmed that the U-shaped mountain pass of Qiniang Mountain not only does not block the wind on the land of the base, but will greatly strengthen the wind, and the downhill wind it forms is much larger than the surrounding area. Dahong made a special trip to Pengwan Typhoon Station to carefully check the typhoon data of the past twenty or thirty years, and felt at a loss in his heart.
Cycle back to the base passing by the sea, the beach is empty and quiet. He stopped and walked down the road, walking on the beach and thinking, "The citrus trees were dwarf in the first two years, and the wind damage was not noticeably paralyzed. Although well-wishers reminded him, he still had a fluke mentality...... Planting acacia trees to create a windbreak now seems too idealistic, like digging a pit when the is swollen. The citrus tree grows bigger and bigger, and the tree attracts the wind! Starting next year, the orchard will be the fruit season in March and April, and the local area has already entered the typhoon season...... It's a mystery how many fish are left in the fish pond that I was hoping for......"
"Alas, it seems that the tide is over......"
Dahong sat on a rock, lit a cigarette and stared blankly at the sea in contemplation. At this time, the evening tide dyed red by the sunset, wave after wave, constantly encroaching on the beach. The Great Hung retreats onto the shore road, and the previously empty and quiet beach becomes an ocean. He said to himself: "There is no way out at the moment, so I have to find another way!" And the ship of the base can not be ended by escaping by yourself. Although the final result is not yet available, a person cannot be hanged from a tree. Let some people escape first, and stay and hold on to the end. ”
Dahong returned to the base to discuss with Li De, Han Shujun, and Huasong, and said: "Although the base has calmed down, some situations are still unclear, and we must make plans as soon as possible. I think it's time to implement a suggestion made by Han Shujun earlier. "Dahong, which one of my suggestions?" "Go out and contract work. Now that Pengwan is engaged in large-scale development, many construction sites are short of manpower, and I want to draw some people from the base to form a contractor team and pull them out to find work. What do you think? "Of course." "Han Shujun, as far as I know, you have a good relationship with Boss Qiu in Pengwan." "When we meet, it's not a friendship." "Acquaintance, at last. You'll get in touch with him tomorrow. ”
Han Shujun acquiesced, Li De said no opinion, Hua Song said: "Originally, I didn't have the qualifications to speak, since Dahong called me, I will say more, do you plan to give up the base?" Han Shujun said: "What are you doing not to find money?" ”
Hua Song glared at Han Shujun and lit a cigarette, and Li De said: "It can be seen that Brother Da Hong has been carefully considered, this is not giving up, but a helpless move." Dahong said: "I understand what Hua Song means. However, now the base must forge a path of destruction in order to survive the difficulties and seek development. ”
A few days later, the base squeezed out part of the funds, and 65 people, including Huosheng Liu Facai, set up a civil engineering team to pull them to Pengwan Town to contract labor. Economically independent, 70 percent of the profits are handed over to the base, and 30 percent are bonuses for workers. Han Shujun served as the captain, Hua Song served as the deputy captain and cashier, and Li De served as the accountant.
On Jin Xiangfei's sixty-fifth birthday, Jin Yaqiu and his uncle made a special trip back from ** to celebrate his birthday. At the birthday banquet in the evening, he happily showed off his great fortune, and then said: "Although the base has suffered a disaster now, I don't think it matters, after all, there is still a large orchard." Uncle Yaqiu catered and said, "That is, there is a brother as a master, and Boss Yang doesn't have to be afraid." Dahong smiled: "Thank you for your encouragement." Jin Yaqiu joked: "The heavens will descend on the Si people, and they must first work hard and work their muscles and bones...... "Mrs. Jin said: "Yaqiu, which scripture are you reading?" ”
At the end of the feast, the guests left one after another. Jin Yaqiu whispered to Dahong: "Brother Dahong, I have a plan in private tonight, are you willing to appreciate your face?" "Tell me." "Secret." "Ghost girl, so it's mysterious."
Dahong said goodbye and returned to the base, Jin Yaqiu secretly glanced at him and said, "Brother Dahong, it's too late, I'll drive you." "It's not a few steps, so there's no hassle." Mrs. Jin said, "Yaqiu, then give you Brother Dahong a flashlight." "I'm looking to be a coachman, but people won't appreciate my face." "Ghost girl, let's go."
Dahong walked through the alleys of the village and walked out of a mixed forest of lychee longan, and his eyes suddenly opened up. The bright autumn moon staggers in the night sky of the quiet bay; A few stars were crystal clear, like jewels that shimmered in the night.
Jin Yaqiu stood at the three-fork intersection of the shore road in front of him, looked at Da Hong and said, "Brother Da Hong, I didn't expect it." "Ghost girl, I'm not afraid of misunderstanding by my master and wife." "My sister sends my brother, why are you afraid?" "Poor mouth. What's the matter, let's talk about it. "Brother Dahong, don't you think the night in this bay is so rare?" "Unfortunately, I'm not in the mood right now." "But I have, can you accompany me if you are wronged?" "How about another day?" "No, I have to rush back with my uncle tomorrow morning."
What a peaceful and warm beach.,It's a pity that the protagonist doesn't have this leisure.。 Da Hong lit a cigarette and said, "Sister Yaqiu, you have been going to ** for more than half a year, how do you feel?" "There are still some people who are not accustomed to the soil, and now that my uncle has given me 20% of the company's shares, the pressure is even greater." "Congratulations." "Brother Dahong, I want to run my own company. When the time comes, how about our brother and sister joining forces? "It depends on fate." "Now I know something about the base, do you need help?" "Thank you. There are strings attached, right? "What do you say?" "It's hard to say. Not at the moment. "Also, according to my father's idea, even if all the fish ponds are lost, there will still be orchards after all." "It seems that your father and daughter are still immersed in that green dream. I'm not going to bow to bad luck, though. "I heard that the base has a construction team, which is a good idea. But I'm worried that your old classmate will take advantage of this to borrow a boat to cross the sea......" "It's going to rain, my mother is going to remarry, let him go." In the current situation, why bother tying everyone up and jumping into the sea together? "Brother Dahong, you are too kind." "Only by being kind to others can we gather people's hearts and achieve great causes." "Good conspirators."
Jin Yaqiu stopped and said: "Brother Dahong, my uncle is considering sending me to manage a holding company in Australia, and it may be three or five years to go, I am very conflicted, do you think I should go?" "Of course. If you don't go to the sea, how can you know the water and practice the water. "But I'm going to ...... away"
On the shore, there are faint sounds of autumn insects, and the bay at night is shrouded in a somewhat confusing atmosphere.
Jin Yaqiu was silent for a while and said, "Brother Dahong, do you and your sister-in-law love each other very much?" "Of course." "Well, it makes me jealous." "Ghost girl, aren't you afraid of being beaten by your brother and sister-in-law?" "I was so scared that I decided to stay away......"
The sea frolicks and whispers in the moonlight, and the sea breeze chases the waves to wet each other. On the cool shore of the autumn night, it seems that a smuggling passenger boat is moored. On the misty and drunken sand, a pair of shadows moved and entangled, and the zigzag footprints gradually glued together in the haze...... A fluttering sky, a blurred sea.
