Chapter 361: The Awakened Wine Station
The muddy water river flows into a 'several' shape at the position of the liquor station, the liquor station is located in the hollow position of a few characters, and the liquor station village is located on the right side of the words, which is the opposite bank of the west bank of the liquor station, guarding a corner of the water's edge and facing the liquor station on the peninsula across the river.
Jiuzhan Village is not large, with seventy or eighty people, more than 30 dwellings, wooden houses, shacks, and even tree houses, all of which are simple and can be built without much effort, and look like they are clustered together in tatters and rags at no time.
Perhaps it was because they were all such dilapidated buildings, small in scale, and there were no crops around their residences, so the devils were too lazy to cross the river, and Jiuzhan Village was not burned down.
Before the sweep, the wine station had been burned by Li Youde once, and the ninth row was not repaired at that time, and it was poor until the sweep began, so the wine station was still that dilapidated and virtuous, and it was not affected by the second disaster.
This small group of disabled bandits and their relatives, displaced peasants, mountain people who have taken refuge in disasters to make a living, and all kinds of suffering people have a unique concept of survival and optimism.
Only when you have lost do you know how to cherish, and only when you are lonely do you like the collective, the villagers who have been together because of the upheaval and displacement are more vigilant, more able to run, more able to hide, more tolerant, and more persistent. Neither the old nor the young, the male nor the female, the sick or the disabled, did not need to be supervised, so they did not lose a single person in this sweep, but took in some of the victims, and by the time they returned to the village of Jiuzhan at the end of the sweep, there were 100 of them.
The food that the ninth row gave them at the beginning has been consumed almost now, and it can be dealt with for another half a month at most, without Sun Cui, the leader, saying anything, they consciously began to save food, and dug wild vegetables everywhere, hunted even mice, and collected everything that could be eaten, so that everyone's life could last longer. I have experienced the turbulent life of no food and hunger, and I don't feel afraid anymore, it is much better than in the past, not to mention that the ninth row will appear on the other side sooner or later, and they have regarded the ninth row as their own team, because their village chief is in the ninth row, called Xiao Hongying.
Because they regard Jiupai as the backbone, they not only save Jiupai's worries, but also try to do something for Jiupai.
The fifteen-member militia team was scattered out, extended out in all directions to set up sentry guards, and even extended to the north and even extended to the ruins of Qingshan Village.
They reconnected ropes on the river, set up rafts, and those who were able to work went to the liquor station to repair the houses and help the nine rows rebuild, and the women laid their hands to carry earth and mud mats. The roof of the stone house has been repaired, the frame of the burned wooden house has been re-erected, and it is more spacious and beautiful than the original, and the house that was demolished by the group is now being repaired.
"Mother, will the nine rows come back?Did they meet the devil?" The dirty child with a snotty face hugged a broken kettle and asked the thin mother who was helping to build a house in the liquor station.
"Don't talk nonsense! Go dig wild vegetables with your brother, get out!"
The child put down the broken kettle and ran away, and the woman straightened up in exhaustion and looked northward, and when they left, they were facing north, and it had been so many days, so why hadn't they come back? ”
An old man with a hunchback coughed nearby, sat on the ground and struck a thick plank with his hammer.
On the wooden board, charcoal is written in two big words: 'Wine Station', and the handwriting has faded, grayed, and faint.
The wrinkled veteran shuddered as he threw a bullet casing upside down to the edge of the dull handwriting on the wooden board, and smashed it into it with a hammer.
One bullet after another was inlaid on the wooden board, arranged and inlaid along the dull handwriting, and finally two large characters 'wine station' were inlaid with great clarity, the metal copper yellow, shining in the sun, maybe eventually full of rust, but these two words ...... It can no longer be dimmed.
......
There is a big tree in the open space of the wine station, half of the leaves have fallen, and the rest are all withered yellow, sparsely falling to the ground with a clear blue sky, and the autumn wind is blowing, and the sound is sluggish.
He stood under the tree and looked up, his narrow eyes calmly fixing on the wooden sign nailed to the trunk, on which were inlaid with two large characters, not pretty, but hard, cold, and glowing with copper.
He felt a pain in his shoulder, and the pain was not all from the injury on his shoulder, but just the pain.
He felt that the tree was too big and too heavy, and if it fell down, it would not be able to carry it, not even the size of a mule.
The mule said...... Maleonn may not be dead. You're in charge, you say he's ......"
His gaze left the big tree, turned to Sun Cui, who appeared beside him at some point, looked at her quietly for a while, and said lightly: "He's dead." ”
“......”
"From the day he took the gun, he was dead. ”
Sun Cui didn't quite understand what he meant, but she seemed to understand a little, and she felt sad inexplicably. The nine platoons of fifty-one people have now become nine companies of nineteen people, and the handsome soldier who was smiling on the bamboo raft on the river was not among them.
She had hoped that it was her brother, who could make her humble and lonely feel a sense of existence and warmth, and she had thanked God that it was not her brother, and that she could feel that she was still a woman from his searching voyeuristic gaze, and that she could still have a slight fever and the joy of living, and she was ashamed to snicker in it.
She disguised her sadness as sorrow, and did not dare to look at Hu Yi's indifferent gaze, but turned to look at the waves outside the cracks in the woods: "The grain in the village ...... It's enough for half a month. ”
He nodded, disguising his tone to confidence: "It's okay, there is still food in stock at the wine station." ”
Then Sun Cui pretended to be relaxed and left, while he still stood tall under the tree, watching Qiugao and listening to the wind.
......
No matter how ugly the daughter-in-law is, she has to see her in-laws, and now Sun Cui is this ugly daughter-in-law, she has to see Su Qing. Not only are they not party members, but they are also selfish and backward elements that no one wants to see. No matter how small Jiuzhan Village is, it is also a village, the director of the Jiuzhan Village Women's Association, and the captain of the militia of Jiuzhan Village, these two hats are difficult to wear on Sun Cui's head.
Sun Cui grabbed a handful of soil and sprinkled it on the upper of her shoes, and wiped the ash on her hands on the placket to make the torn clothes that were already patches look dirtier, but she only smoothed her hair and tied it meticulously, leaving no trace of messy hair. She knew that Secretary Su was a cold-faced person, and at the same time, she was also a clean-minded person, so she had to strive for full marks in her image!
Sun Cui let out a hearty laugh, and trotted to Su Qing by the river to stand still: "Officer Su, you are here, I just looked for you for a long time and couldn't find it." ”
Su Qing's expression was the same as always, and he couldn't see the waves: "Now it's your work as an agent for Jiuzhan Village?"
"Yes, it's me. I know I'm not this material, but this person is too few, and no one can take it for a while, so everyone pushes me to take it first. ”
Su Qing lowered her head, starting from the side of Sun Cui's dirty shoes, until her neat and tidy hairstyle, and smiled rarely: "At least you are a careful person." ”
This reaction made Sun Cui feel at a loss, was it praise or sarcasm? I couldn't feel the intention of her words at all, so I simply smiled and didn't speak.
"You came up with the idea to be the village chief, right?"
This question is too tricky, Sun Cui was shocked from the bottom of her heart. She asked this question, which means that she has decided that if she answers no, she is lying, but if she answers yes, she is not confessing. couldn't be ambiguous, Sun Cui had no choice but to put away his smile: "Yes." I ...... at the time."
"Then you can continue to be in front of it for now. ”
“......”
"It's not because of the girls, but because they're willing to let you be. If they don't want to, it's useless for you to bring out the girl. Change your shortcomings and strive to progress in the new environment, otherwise you will always be just a substitute and will not become official. ”
Su Qing did a side investigation of Sun Cui and knew what kind of person she was. There are four reasons for agreeing to let Sun Cui manage the newly established Jiuzhan Village. First, mass work and the army are two different things, and they cannot be measured with a ruler, and the people in Jiuzhan Village are willing, so why bother to replace people to start getting familiar with them again; second, it is not easy to change people, there are too few party cadres, and there are only two instructors in the regiment, how can anyone divide them down, unless they demolish the platform of Dabeizhuang or Xinghua Village; third, the Jiuzhan Village led by Sun Cui is the only team of people who does not rely on the protection and supervision of the independent regiment in this sweep, and in turn helps the Ninth Company to build a house, which is the only one in the independent regiment at present, which Su Qing never expected; in the end, Xiao Hongying is indeed a troublemaker, if she tosses it...... Some of them are upset.
Sun Cui, who came back to his senses, nodded excitedly: "Hey, I remember, I remember." ”
"Next time, don't sprinkle dirt on your shoes, how clean is it. Besides, I need your help now, so that the villagers can hurry up and make a rope net first, so that they can stop the river as long as possible. ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it. Sun Cui, who was recognized by Su Qing and became the manager of Jiuzhan Village, was full of fighting spirit.
Su Qing's eyes looked at the flowing river again, and added: "Send a few people to keep an eye on the river from tomorrow morning, and pick up everything that floats down upstream and give it to me to see." ”
Sun Cui went to find someone to arrange it, Su Qing pondered quietly by the river, I left Dabeizhuang, Xiao Bing will remove the surveillance from tomorrow, should you do something?
......
As Wu Shi put down his pickaxe to wipe his sweat, a one-man high cave was revealed. The little girl walked in first, and soon lit the lantern.
"Old Qin, come in and take a look. She was ashamed to choose Hu Yi's name for Qin You.
Qin You rubbed his eyes, good guy, even the basket with the box was stacked full in this small cave, and the most eye-catching thing was that there was actually a bicycle parked inside, which was dazzling by the light.
"How's it going?" "How's it going?" Seeing that the instructor's eyes were about to fall off, the little girl was braided and the corners ......of her mouth grinned at the back of her head.
"This ...... This ...... It's all ours?" Qin You picked up his chin and closed his eyes.
"Think beautiful! This is mine! hehehehe......"
The chin that was finally picked up and the eyeballs that had just been installed fell again: "You...... Yours?"
"Of course, if you don't believe it, how did this come about? I don't agree with who dares to move?"
Qin You, who was surprised, casually lifted the lid of a jar, and the aroma of wine immediately wafted out: "I said that you are too ......."
"What's too much?" the pigtails turned horizontally, and the big eyes turned into threads.
"It's too capable!" Qin You ate the 'too unspeakable'.
She regained her smug smile: "Don't look at the lack of food, but there are things, there are still two batches buried in the north, you and the fox urge in a while, hurry up and let people dig it back." ”
"North, and two more batches?"
"Arms. ”
With a pop, Instructor Qin didn't know if he had tripped or fallen on his own, and his chin and eyes could not be found again......
