On the reservoir construction site, Fang Hanmin and a group of strong men in the village eat the same pot of rice, do the same work, not only with his slightly immature but strong enough shoulders, to bear the burden of the whole family, and use the mathematical knowledge and ingenuity he has learned to provide a simple and easy calculation method for the material management of the reservoir site, which has been appreciated by the site leaders and technicians.

On the 26th day of the lunar month, the commander of the militia company led the team ran from the garrison to the headquarters and asked Fang Hanmin if he wanted to go back to the village with them, because Fang Hanmin was brought out of the village by him, and whether he went back with them or not, he had to give an explanation to Fang Hanmin's parents.

In the reservoir site headquarters, a project manager called Liu Gong has the most dealings with Fang Hanmin, he is also the direct leader of Fang Hanmin in charge of the material statistics department, before going home, Fang Hanmin of course has to return his work and some supplies to Liu Gong, when he knows the situation, he left Fang Hanmin behind, "Since you were transferred to the headquarters, you are a temporary worker hired here, the reservoir has not been built yet, you have to stay and continue to work." ”

"Pro... Temporary workers? Stay? "Maybe it was the negligence of the command, when Fang Hanmin was transferred from the construction site at that time, there was nothing to say, and suddenly hearing Liu Gong say this was completely unexpected by Fang Hanmin.

"Why, you don't want to?"

Fang Hanmin settled down and hurriedly replied, "Wish... Yes, yes. But the migrant workers from our village are going back today, how can I explain to them? ”

"Explain what? Just ask them to send you a letter home, saying that your work is not done and that you have to come home a few days late. ”

After breakfast that day, Liu Gong called Fang Hanmin to his office, asked Fang Hanmin to sign a form, and took out a few gross tickets from his pocket and counted them, and handed them to Fang Hanmin, "The headquarters treats you as a temporary worker, with a salary of eight cents a day, I just came back from the General Affairs Office, during this time you have worked in the headquarters for nine days, this is the salary of seven yuan and two cents settled for you, you count it." ”

Because of the suddenness of the incident, Fang Hanmin was stunned, he did not reach out to pick it up, but stumbled and said: "Work... Wages? To give... For me? ”

Because Fang Hanmin never dreamed that he would come to the reservoir construction site to work and earn wages!

"Yes, that's your salary these days, what, don't you want it? If you don't want me, I'll pick it up. ”

Liu Gongzhen can joke, Fang Hanmin doesn't need anything, he needs money the most! Because his tuition fees for the next semester have not yet been settled, with these few dollars, Fang Hanmin's mother doesn't have to worry about his tuition money!

After coming back to his senses, Fang Hanmin stretched out his hand to take over his salary, "But Liu Gong, how can I deduct the meal ticket money I spent during this time?" ”

"It's a total of seven yuan, and after deducting the meal ticket, there is not much left. During this time, I will pay you the meal tickets first, and then pay me back when you come back after the New Year and pay your salary. ”

"What's so embarrassing?" Fang Hanmin rubbed his hands uncomfortably and said.

"It's nothing, I'm a state cadre, and I have a salary of about 40 yuan a month, no matter what, it's better than your family in the countryside. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, your parents and family must be waiting for you to come home, no matter what, you can't go back empty-handed, and when you pass through the township streets along the way, you use the money to buy something to take home. Liu Gong is not only a kind-hearted person, but also a caring person, and even this kind of trivial matter has been thought of for Fang Hanmin.

Fang Hanmin was so moved that tears were about to flow out, "Liu Gong, thank you for your concern!" ”

"Don't be polite to me, to be honest, you are not a few years older than my children, at a young age, it is not easy to do things outside. Let's go, you still have dozens of miles to go, now go back, it's not too early to get home in the afternoon. ”

When Fang Hanmin returned home with two cabbages and two catties of pork, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and when he appeared at the door, the family was both surprised and delighted, and his mother took the things in Fang Hanmin's hand and asked with concern: "Hanmin, why are you only coming back now?" But it makes us think badly! ”

Fang Hanmin briefly reported the incident to his parents and family, "I helped solve the problem of material statistics on the construction site, and the leader transferred me to the headquarters to do statistical work, hired me as a temporary worker, with a daily salary of eight dimes, and sent me the money this morning, and I bought some meat and vegetables halfway, and there were more than three yuan left, which was just enough for my tuition for the next semester." ”

Mother Xu Guihua said in surprise: "I hired you as a temporary worker and earned a salary?" I didn't expect to go to the reservoir construction site to work this time, and I could encounter such a good thing! ”

"If you go back after the year, will the rest of the village still go?" Father Fang Xiecheng also came over to inquire.

"The earthwork task in Shuanghe Village has been completed, and the others will not go."

"That is, I will let you go back as a temporary worker, but Hanmin, you will take the college entrance examination next semester, don't delay your studies!" Sister Fang Wenying hopes that her brother will be admitted to a good university and get ahead as soon as possible.

Without waiting for Fang Hanmin to speak, his father Fang Xiecheng said disapprerovingly: "Don't worry about this, it's only the beginning of February in the solar calendar after the New Year, and it's still early for the start of school on March 1st. ”

......

After breakfast on the third day of the first lunar month, Fang Hanmin was about to return to the reservoir construction site, and when he left, his parents and sister told him not to forget the start of school on March 1.

After twelve o'clock at noon, Fang Hanmin returned to the reservoir construction site headquarters as promised, Liu Gong came out of the canteen after lunch, and greeted him when he saw Fang Hanmin from afar, "Xiao Fang is back?" Let's go to lunch, the cafeteria will be closed in a moment. ”...

The work at the reservoir site is tense and busy, in the blink of an eye to late February, one morning, Fang Hanmin and two migrant workers were doing measurements on a relatively steep rock wall, perhaps after the construction work did not have time to reinforce, suddenly from the height of the rock wall rolled down a few stones of thirty or forty centimeters, fortunately the three of them were quick to see and leg, so they did not cause a serious accident.

However, because Fang Hanmin was in the position closest to the falling stone, although he tried his best to dodge, there was still a stone that ran over the tip of his left foot, in order to avoid greater damage, Fang Hanmin desperately jumped forward and sat on the ground with a sigh.

Seeing this, the two migrant workers hurriedly ran over, "Xiaofang, what's wrong with you?" ”

"My foot was run over." Fang Hanmin gritted his teeth in pain and pointed at the tip of his left foot.

"What now?" Migrant workers have no idea.

"Hurry me back to headquarters."

The two migrant workers also had strength, they took turns carrying Fang Hanmin back to the command headquarters, and reported to the top layer by layer, and the command immediately sent Fang Hanmin to the Guichun County People's Hospital, and the conclusion of the examination was that the left foot and thumb were comminuted fractures.

Anyway, it's not a big deal, it's a blessing in misfortune! Now that the incident has happened, the command can only let Fang Hanmin stay in the hospital for treatment.

"Do you want to tell Xiao Fang's family?" Liu Gong consulted his superiors.

"It's up to him."

Fang Hanmin didn't want to tell his family the news of his injury, he consulted with the doctor, the injury was not too serious, plus he was young, recovered quickly, and it would be good to treat and recuperate for a while. The big toe is not a particularly important part of the human body, and it is said that it will not leave obvious marks in the future, so parents should not know about it, so as not to worry them.

It was March 1st, Fang Hanmin had not forgotten the start time of the new semester, but he was still lying on the bed in the county hospital, even if he barely got off the ground, his left foot did not dare to exert himself, and it was the early spring season, it was warm and cold, and the doctor repeatedly told him to prevent infection and frostbite.

Fang Hanmin asked Liu Gong from the headquarters to call Guichun No. 2 Middle School and help him ask for a few days of sick leave.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, several young people suddenly poured in the ward, and it turned out that they were Fang Hanmin's classmates.

"Why are you here?" Fang Hanmin asked in surprise.

"We also want to know, it's already school, why don't you go to school, why do you run here and lie down?" Several classmates giggled.

Fang Hanmin introduced to the students his experience of working as a temporary worker at the reservoir construction site, "I thought it was a very meaningful winter vacation, but I saw that the vacation was about to end, but I didn't expect to be hit by a stone a few days ago. Alas, how do you know I'm here? ”

"You called the school to ask for leave, and after several of our class committee members learned about your situation from the homeroom teacher, they decided to come over to have a look, but I didn't expect Lu Hui to come over to join in the fun." Yu Dongmei, a member of the entertainment committee, explained.

Hearing the news of Fang Hanmin's injury, Yu Dongmei, a member of the class recreation committee, was most anxious, she wanted to act alone, but she was afraid that other classmates would gossip after they found out, so she proposed that the class committee go to the hospital to visit Fang Hanmin on behalf of the whole class.

Lu Hui on the side disagreed with the statement of the entertainment committee, "What do you mean by joining in the fun?" Yu Dongmei, although I am not a member of the class committee, Fang Hanmin is my tablemate and my buddy, do I care about him what's wrong? ”

"It's right to care about your buddy, you'd better come every day in the future." Yu Dongmei commanded the opponent's army.

"I'll come every day, you can't trouble me! Anyway, I didn't want to go to university, I had time. Speaking of this, Lu Hui seemed to have a new idea, "I said Hanmin, you have nothing to do here, why don't you talk to the headquarters and the hospital, keep your bed in the hospital, you go back to school with us, and when you need to change the dressing, I will borrow a bicycle to send you back, so as not to delay your study." It's not very far from the school to the hospital, and it's only about half an hour to ride a bicycle. ”

Yu Dongmei and the other class committee members agreed with this suggestion, "Well, don't delay your studies, Lu Hui's idea is good." Hanmin, why don't you go back to school with us? ”

"That's ...... Will it work? Fang Hanmin was obviously a little tempted, "I'm afraid that the command and the hospital will not agree!" ”

Lu Hui has never been a person who keeps to himself, "Tell them about it." Let's go, we'll go with you to the doctor. ”

In fact, after the command sent Fang Hanmin to the hospital, apart from paying medical expenses and living expenses, they didn't care about other things, as for when he would be discharged from the hospital, whether Fang Hanmin could return to school, and whether the hospital would leave a bed for him in the ward, it was completely up to the hospital to decide.

When several boys came to the attending doctor's office with Fang Hanmin and explained the situation, the doctor understood Fang Hanmin's situation very well, "It's only been three days after the operation, it stands to reason that you can't move around casually, but you are a fresh high school student, and you are about to take the college entrance examination, and the total review period is very critical, if I don't agree with you to go back to school, it will inevitably have a negative impact on your academic performance, if that happens, won't I become a sinner who delays your future?" Well, according to your requirements, leave the bed for you, go back to the hospital every two days to check and change the dressing, pay attention to keep warm, and avoid infection. ”
