Two years ago, more than a dozen of them were arrested and sent to labor camp, which shocked many people.

In the past two years, there has been some rebound.

Yu Lao Er was sentenced, which made the undercurrent surging three-point field instantly calm down a lot.

Lu Changhua's hidden danger at this stage has been temporarily lifted.

There are more important things to do in the future.

On December 7th, heavy snowfall.

Early in the morning, the snow was clear, and the morning glow reflected the red sky.

Hu Dagui still leaned on the kang and didn't want to get up.

Lu Changhua stood in the courtyard with an iron kettle.

The fiery red morning glow is a little dazzling, and the undulating snowfields are covered with glow and red.

The glacier in the south shines with colorful light, like a dragon dormant in the snow and ice.

"Frozen again?"

Lu Changhua stepped on the white snow, stepped out of the creaking sound, and walked towards the glacier not far away.

On both sides of the glacier, there are ice walls dozens of centimeters high, and there is a layer of ice more than ten centimeters deep at the bottom of the river, as well as the posture of flowing water, as if it has been magical, frozen in time.

"It's really freezing."

Lu Changhua turned around and walked back, took out the ice from the warehouse, and carried it on his shoulder, the iron kettle was to be carried.

He had to go to the source of the glacier and smash open the springs, otherwise they would have no water to eat.

This morning, there was no wind or snow, but the biting chill hit the face.

Lu Changhua had been outside for only five or six minutes, and his cheeks had been frozen and painful.

The exhaled white breath hung on his hat.

Every breath of air was like inhaling a handful of iron filings, which hurt his lungs and forced him to cover his mouth and nose with a scarf.

When I came to the spring, the outlet was already frozen, and if I didn't open it in time, I would soon freeze to death.

He put down the iron kettle, removed the ice from his shoulders, grasped the handle of the beam with both hands, and plunged it against the original water outlet.

Tuk tuk tuk ~

Three small white dots are smashed.

Last night's temperature was too low and too hard to freeze.

He had to exert all his strength to fight the white spots.

The sound gradually changed from tuk tuk tuk to pop, then poof.

The spring water finally soaked the ice surface of the outlet.

The tumbling water finally flowed in the glacier again.

Lu Changhua used an iron kettle to pull open the crushed ice in the spring water, tilted the kettle and hit the kettle of ice water.

As soon as it was mentioned, the dripping water droplets slipped off the wall of the kettle, and before they hit the ground, they became ice beads, falling on the slope, like a bracelet that exploded, bouncing and running away on the ice.

A thin layer of ice instantly hung on the wall of the iron kettle, reflecting the fiery red morning glow, emitting a halo of light.

When Lu Changhua crunched and walked back to the duty room, Hu Dagui had already gotten up.

He was crouching by the stove and lighting the fire.

"It froze again last night?"

Hu Dagui looked down at the furnace and shoved the birch bark emitting black smoke in his hand through the furnace hole.

The birch bark inside the stove was ignited by the flames, and a puff of black smoke billowed in the hearth.

"No, it's freezing again."

Lu Changhua sat the iron kettle on the stove, and after a while, the thin ice on the iron kettle showed signs of melting.

"I'm going to smash the reservoir open."

With a few words, Lu Changhua left again.

"Alas, it's a nuisance when there's too much water."

Hu Dagui clapped his hands and stood up, picked up a broom and swept the floor.

Truly.

The spring water now has both convenience and trouble.

With the spring water, the water in the reservoir has increased, and they can also drink the living water in the winter.

But when there is too much water, it brings trouble.

Every day, the ice of the reservoir is cut to make way for the springs.

However, because of this, the water surface always has to carry the ice surface up, so the ice surface of the reservoir has not yet frozen.

Last year I was able to skate here, but now the rink is not good.

Half an hour later, Lu Changhua came back breathless.

The corners of the coat were stained with crushed ice and water, and they were all frozen hard.

"I think tomorrow we won't smash the ice, it's time to open the ice rink."

"What about draft?"

Hu Dagui was worried that there would be no water.

"I took a look today, and the spring water gushing has no strength, it should be at the limit. If you smash the spring open, it won't flow out. ”

"That's the best, otherwise it's too tiring to dig the ice in the reservoir every day."

The iron spout spews steam and hums.

The two of them mixed some cold water in the washbasin, added some hot water, and washed up.

Since the incident with Yu Er, Lu Changhua has lived in the duty room with Hu Dagui, and it is safer to be each other's companions.

Hu Dagui hugged some wooden stumbling blocks and continued to burn the stove.

Lu Changhua wanted to go home to get breakfast, so he put on his coat and walked back.

As soon as he entered the house, Xiong Bao routinely played cute duties and ran over to make love to him.

At this time, Xiong Bao grew dense fluff and filled it with yellow hair.

At first glance, it really feels like a little Shiba Inu.

Lu Changhua had breakfast at home, packed his lunch box, and prepared to return to the reservoir.

The eldest brother, Lu Changzhong, suddenly pushed open the door.

Xiong Bao greeted him and made love, Lu Changzhong called "Xiong Bao", and took off his coat by himself.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back."

"Big brother? Why did you come back early in the morning? ”

"Yo, son, why are you back?"

Lu's mother was about to clean up the table, and when she saw that her eldest son was back, she put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand.

"Didn't eat, did you? Deal with eating bits. ”

Lao Lu sat on the edge of the kang, looked at Lu Changzhong and said.

"Eh, I really haven't eaten, I'm starving."

Lu Changzhong pulled over the stool and sat down at the table.

Lu Changhua opened the lunch box in his hand and pushed it in front of his eldest brother.

"Let's eat this first."

He pulled a stool and sat down.

Lu Changzhong took a big bite of it.

"Mom, let's make some cakes for Dagui."

"Huh."

Lu's mother hurried to the kitchen to make pancakes.

Lu Changzhong ate all the food in the lunch box, then pushed the lunch box, took a full distance, and said: "Dad, Zhao Yan said that I want our family to go to the field department and the two families will meet." ”

"When?"

Old Lu asked.

"Number Fifteen."

Lu Changzhong took out a cigarette, handed one to his father, and lit it himself.

"Hey, congratulations, big brother, you're getting married!"

"What conditions did her family propose?"

Old Lu spat out the smoke from his mouth and asked.

"I haven't mentioned it yet. Isn't this asking you to meet, and when you do, you may have to mention it. ”

Lu Changzhong said.

Lu Changhua saw that his eldest brother's face was a little melancholy, knowing the worry in his heart.

"Big brother, no matter what conditions her family proposes, as long as it is reasonable, it can be negotiated!"

"It's okay, let's talk about it."

Old Lu is much more tough now than before.

Think about it, 20,000 yuan household, can his waist pole not be hard?

"Do you have a house in your unit?"

Lu Changhua asked.

"Our unit? If you are poor, you will die, and you will have a house! ”

Lu Changzhong frowned and said.

"Zhao Yan mentioned that their unit can solve the house."

"That's not good, you don't have a house, you'll be looked down upon by her."

Old Lu frowned.

"There's no way, I've asked the stationmaster, and the house of the radio station has to be solved. But the house is so tight now that I can't get in the queue at all. ”

Lu Changzhong said.

"Have you looked for Minister Sun?"

"I'm embarrassed about this kind of thing!"

"You, you didn't find the right temple gate."

Lu Changhua saw the crux at a glance.

"In this way, big brother, you go to the deer farm to buy two more deer, one for Minister Sun, and one for your father-in-law."

"Huh? Will it be given this year? ”

"What do you think? As long as you open the opening, you have to send it every year. ”

Lu Changhua thought for a while and said: "You can rest for a while and go to the deer farm, ride a motorcycle, it's convenient to go back and forth, but it's just a little offended." ”

"I'm not afraid of being offended, but I'm afraid of breaking my motorcycle."

Lu Changzhong was still thinking about this.

"It's okay, ride boldly, we'll fix it if the ride is broken, what are you afraid of?!"

"Okay."

Lu Changhua poured a cup of boiling water for his eldest brother to warm him up.

"The price may have gone up this year, so you can go with the money first."

Lu Changhua took out a stack of banknotes from his body, with more than 300 yuan, and placed them directly on the table.

Lao Lu nodded and said, "Take it, your salary is enough to eat." ”

"Brother, how embarrassing this is, I have money on me."

"Pull it down, and take it on the road."

Lu Changhua grabbed the stack of money on the table, stuffed it directly into the eldest brother's pocket, fastened the button on him, and patted it with his hand.

"Brother......

Lu Changzhong's voice was a little choked.

"Don't say anything, pack up and leave."

Old Lu pretended to urge.

Lu Changhua went to the kitchen.

Mom has already baked the cake and is frying the cabbage.

He went back to the living room, took the lunch box to the kitchen, and washed it.

My mother put the fried cabbage into the lunch box, and brought a cloth bag with four dough cakes.

Lu Changhua entered the house to greet his father and eldest brother, and left.

"If it weren't for your brother earning a few bucks, it would still be very difficult now."

Lao Lu took a sip of tea and said.

"You go buy it first, and we'll go on the fifteenth."

Lu's mother entered the living room and said that she wanted to meet, and she was also a little nervous.

"Son, their family is an official, can they afford us?"

"Mom, don't think so much, Zhao Yan said, let our family have no burden."

"That's what I said, but ......"

"The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, don't think so much, you can go quickly."

Lu Changzhong agreed, dressed up, picked up the motorcycle key, and went out.

"Old man, my son's marriage is another lot of money, and our family is afraid that it will be ......"

"It's still a lot of money."

Old Lu said with a frown.

Although he has dozens of stacks of banknotes at home, they are all the youngest sons, and as an old man, he can't just take care of the big ones, and spend all the money earned by the small ones, so he can't get over it in his heart!
