"Director Huang, you're just in time. Now that the eldest nephew is playing at home, you can go to Brother Ye's house to take care of it. ”

Huang Dadi, who didn't understand the situation yet, asked with a confused expression: "What happened to the eldest nephew, you make it clear." ”

Hu Ziqiang said anxiously: "I can't explain it to you clearly in a sentence or two now, and you will know it all when you go to Brother Ye's house and take a look." ”

Walking out of the gate of the village office, the veterans were already lined up.

Hu Ziqiang shouted at the veterans, "Veterans, today is the first time we have assembled after we were discharged from the army. The young Lisheng stood in the front row, and the middle-aged stood in the back row. ”

The veteran who stood in the back row said unconvinced: "Lao Hu, we can be regarded as old brothers who have been on the battlefield together."

Today's sudden assembly must have met us with some major event, and when it comes to fighting, we old brothers are not inferior to young people. ”

"My brother misunderstood. Today, everyone is not gathered for a fight, but to protect the assets of our village, and we have to gather the big guys. ”

"Just this little asset of our village still needs to be protected by us, and the big yellow dog at the entrance of the village can handle it, don't you take off your pants and fart."

There was a burst of laughter.

Hu Ziqiang pointed to the jeep parked under the steps of the village office and said, "Do you see that car, it was bought by our eldest nephew Ye Chen from the county seat for a lot of money." ”

"What does it have to do with us when he buys a car, it's a bit of stinky money and stinky to show something."

"But isn't it, this one who has stayed in the ocean likes to fart."

Hu Ziqiang said angrily: "What are you two talking about! ”

"It's just a fact."

"If you have this attitude, then you two won't need to go on this mission."

"If you don't go, you won't go, who should you be rare to do this bitter thing."

Hu Ziqiang pleaded with the remaining veterans: "I just said that the car meant, not that the eldest nephew only bought this car.

Instead, he brought back a large amount of supplies to the village this time, and now they are parked on the road at the entrance of the village. ”

Huang Dadi understood a little, stood behind Hu Ziqiang and said, "Ziqiang, if there is not enough manpower, I will mobilize the women in the village to come and help." ”

"I think it's necessary. However, I think you should go to Brother Ye's house to take care of your eldest nephew, and let Brother Ye coordinate the rest. ”

"Let's go, then. Don't grind. ”

Hu Ziqiang issued an order to the veterans, "If you are willing to come with me, turn left and run forward at the entrance of the village." ”

Driving into the jeep, Hu Ziqiang picked up Huang Dadi and drove towards Ye's house.

In the past, it was a ten-minute walk, and a two-minute drive was not required to get to the place.

Ye Jianguo was boiling hot water in the courtyard, and Huang Dadi and Hu Ziqiang came.

"Dadi, you're here."

"I heard that the eldest nephew is swinging, so I came over to see if I could help."

Ye Jianguo's face was worried.

"If only the were home."

Huang Dadi went into the house to probe Ye Chen's condition, turned around and walked out of the house, "The eldest nephew is a little feverish now, and he will be fine when he takes some antipyretics." ”

Hu Ziqiang proposed: "Brother Ye, let Director Huang help you at home, this village is now the time when you are needed." ”

"Yes, Brother Ye, I will take care of you at home, you and Ziqiang can rest assured."

Putting down the rag in their hands, Ye Jianguo and Hu Ziqiang hurriedly went out.

When the veterans saw Ye Jianguo dressed in leather clothes and pants, they thought at first glance that he was a senior official from somewhere.

The team followed the jeep to the entrance of the village.

At the first sight of those big guys, the members of the militia team stopped one after another, and they were surprised and did not dare to step forward.

Hu Ziqiang parked the car and proudly introduced to the veteran of the militia next to him, "These are the village assets we want to protect." ”

"Old Hu, I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"You pinch yourself and see if it hurts."

The veteran pinched his arm to confirm that this was not a dream, and then took the initiative to ask, "Old Hu, you can send me a task." ”

"Let's follow the establishment of the militia team in the past, a combat squad of six people, I am the commander-in-chief, and the rest of the squads are led by the squad leader."

The veteran turned around and called the squad leaders out of the ranks.

"Tell me about it."

The squad leaders stood upright.

"The east and west ends of the village road are patrolled by the first and second squads, and your task is to guard against strangers approaching the vehicles that are about to be parked in the clearing.

The third and fourth shifts are responsible for patrolling the dump trucks parked at the fork of the village road, with our winter supplies on the trucks, and when unloading the trucks for a while, we have to guard against the villagers from looting.

The fifth squad is responsible for maneuvering, and supports wherever manpower is needed. ”

"Guaranteed to get the job done."

The squad leaders of the militia team lined up and rushed to the patrol area.

Some young people who watched the excitement had nothing to do and shouted for help.

Hu Ziqiang was puzzled: "Why don't you help unload the truck." ”

The villagers looked at the villagers next to them, "There are seven or eight of us, or we can go back and find some more people to help." ”

"Okay, then it's hard for you to make a trip."

The young men received the order and rushed towards the village.

Ye Jianguo stood on the long-distance bus platform, looked at the tired Chen Jiefang, and handed him a cigarette, "Jiefang, you go to the car to rest first." ”

"I can hold on. Does it matter if my eldest nephew's illness matters? ”

"His Aunt Huang is taking care of him at home."

"That's good, that's good."

Forklifts and excavators went hand in hand, and a square open space was cleared out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The mechanics who followed the truck found the chainsaw on the tractor and followed the trajectory of the forklift, dividing the trees on one side.

After a few hours of hard work, the site was finally cleared.

Six tractors were parked in an orderly manner.

Chen Jiefang endured his fatigue and negotiated with the drivers and masters, "The big guys have worked hard, come with me to the village for a meal in a while, and let's go again tomorrow morning." ”

The drivers, masters, and laborers were welcomed into the village, and their faces were dark.

Ye Jianguo got into the jeep and instructed Hu Ziqiang: "I'll go back to the village in a while, take out some of the materials we brought back, and entertain those drivers and laborers." ”

Hu Ziqiang responded, "I know Brother Ye, I'll do this when I go back." ”

The car drove into the fork in the road, and the villagers from the villagers found by the young people stood under the dump truck loaded with supplies and passed the supplies.

Cages of chickens, ducks and geese were unloaded, and more than a dozen old sows were driven into the pigsty in front of the village office.

A few cows and sheep walked in the village together, and the villagers behind them were rarely smiling.

The small mountain village, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly boiled.

A few large pots were set up in the village office to cook rice, and the drivers and laborers from the county received the warm greetings of the villagers.

The smell of rice made the children cry like crazy.

Ye Jianguo took Hu Ziqiang to pour wine for the masters, "This point makes the big guy eat hot, it's really inadequate." ”

Ligong got up and held the wine bowl and asked, "Uncle, is your village still recruiting, I will make tools and work quickly." ”

Ye Jianguo said with a smile while pouring wine: "Let's not talk about this matter for now." Tonight, you just have to eat and drink and get a good night's sleep, and we'll talk about it in detail tomorrow morning. ”

Ligong sat down with a wine bowl, facing the steaming heat, Ye Jianguo saw his younger brother Ye Jianjun standing under the steps smoking a cigarette.

After a few words with Hu Ziqiang, he walked over alone.
