Fifth, the battlefield is heroic

On the construction site of the reservoir, red flags are flying in the hula, like clusters of flames soaring into the sky. The whole construction site was in full swing, and the army of water control started a war on the old river beach.

The old river beach also seems to test the enthusiasm and determination of the flood control army, the river beach is frozen with a thick frozen layer, mixed with dense reed roots and thatch roots like spider webs, and the whole river beach is like a cement slab made of reinforced concrete. The young men picked up the iron pickaxe and hit it down to show only one white spot, two pickaxes down to open the road white seal, and three pickaxes down to just a pit the size of an egg. This is the anxious Wang Mingkun, his temper that can't wait to dig out a reservoir can not be used here, he turned the big pickaxe into a ball of flowers, only heard the sound of ping-pong, still only saw the ice chips flying and could not see the soil layer open, suddenly heard a "click" The pickaxe was broken, Wang Mingkun's tiger mouth was cracked, and the half-cut pickaxe left a stain of blood, so angry that he threw the half-pickaxe out of the distance. He crouched on the ground, his nostrils whirring like white smoke from a locomotive.

This kind of scene frightened Li Xiaobao, he held a pickaxe in his hand, and knocked it again and again, seeing that his posture didn't look like he was digging the soil at all, but like lazily beating a small drum, and he didn't even dig out a Saturn star for a long time. After a while, he put down his pickaxe and was about to leave, and Li Yongqing, who was working for him, looked at him like this with a belly full of fire: "Hey, what are you doing?" ”

Li Xiaobao said nonchalantly: "Go to the thatched house." ”

"There are a lot of plasters all over my body, and there are a lot of problems."

Li Xiaobao tilted his head and said, "I said Li Yongqing, do you care about the sky and the earth and people pooping and farting?" ”

Wang Daming said: "You went to the thatched house twice after work!" Lazy cows grind feces and urine a lot. I don't think you're here to work, you're here to eat. ”

Li Xiaobao smiled and said: "Such a big project can't be completed in a day or two, and I don't care if I do more or less." As he spoke, he put his hands in his sleeves and squatted on the ground like a chicken with a shrunken neck.

Li Yongqing was angry and said: "I want you to look like a bear, so the project can only be completed in the Year of the Monkey?" ”

"When will it be over, it's your business? Why bother coming here in the middle of winter. ”

Everyone has long been unaccustomed to Li Xiaobao's faceless appearance, so you attacked him word by word:

"If you want to do it, if you don't want to do it, you can push the dung ball, get out! Without you, the reservoir can still be repaired! ”

"Xiaobao, you are really choked, I will blush for you when you say such things!"

"It's really shameless to take off your pants and hang yourself!"

"The three prongs with a thick face can't be smashed!"

Li Xiaobao saw that everyone was coming towards him, and his heart was a little hairy, but his mouth still did not show weakness, and said: "You don't eat fish and don't spit out bones and speak with thorns!" My white neck is not as good as your members' thinking. If you see that I don't like my eyes, stay away from me, you face east and I face west, and our well water does not interfere with river water! ”

"You're wrong, don't you let anyone say it?"

"You all grew up drinking water from the river, and you have such a wide pipe!"

"It's all about people like you!"

"Flies buzzing on your horses' butts."

"Who are the flies? Why are you swearing? ”

"I'm not here to be angry!" The mouth is short, and Li Xiaobao is about to leave after speaking.

"What are you going to do? It's just unorganized and undisciplined, and what is wrong with people saying you? ”

Li Xiaobao saw that Wang Mingkun was angry, and he couldn't help but be stunned. He knows Wang Mingkun's strength, and he has to endure it even if he hits twice. He saw Wang Mingkun staring at him with round eyes, so he had to hang his head and do it, but he was still muttering quietly.

Wang Mingkun angrily reprimanded him and said, "Do you look like you like a worker? How thick your skin is, you haven't lost enough at home, and it's embarrassing to come here with a bare ass! If you don't work hard, I'll settle accounts with you after I finish work! ”

Wang Mingkun's words were originally a scare word, but Li Xiaobao took it seriously, and he said unconvinced: "I'm still working here, some people shout in a high tone, and they can just preach to others, but as soon as it's cold, they go to the room to bake the fire, why don't you say it." Eating persimmons to find soft pinching will only bully me, a little pawn. ”

Wang Mingkun listened to Xiaobao's words of stirring soup and water to pierce his ears, and he was even more angry, and asked: "Don't you be crazy and talk nonsense in your dreams, who did you see going to the room to bake the fire?" ”

Li Xiaobao sneered and said, "Who of us can see as long as you have eyes, but you can't see it?" ”

Li Xiaobao's words caused everyone to look around, but only Li Minqiang was not there.

Li Xiaobao seemed to grab the handle of the spoon and said triumphantly: "See? Let everyone suffer from the cold here, and people are afraid of cooling the soles of their feet and smearing oil, so they slip away. I can't do it slowly, what's the point? ”

When Wang Mingkun heard this, his eyes widened even rounder, and he shouted loudly: "You are talking nonsense and slandering people!" ”

"Who slandered him! I saw it with my own eyes! ”

"What do you see? Since coming here, Minqiang has been busy with this, and his heart has been on the construction site, building a shed to carry wood, and he is working alone on the two of them, and he refuses to rest when his feet are broken; I got up before dawn this morning, and just now he was crushed by the flat pole of soil. But you're not enough to work all day as your tail, and digging up the soil is like tickling the ground. People are sweating profusely when they work, and you are still shivering like a swing in a thick cotton jacket, do you look like a migrant worker? Wang Mingkun was talking confidently, when he looked up and saw a person walking towards him, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said loudly: "Li Xiaobao! You look up and see who that is? ”

Li Xiaobao looked up and was stunned. I saw Li Minqiang carrying a big stone rammer on his shoulders and coming to everyone. Strings of shiny beads of sweat rolled on his red face, and his head was steaming hot, looking at the platoon commander who was exuding heat all over his body. Who would believe that this is the winter that drips into ice. Li Xiaobao poked there like a stake. He was asking himself: Why did he do this?

Since Li Xiaobao came to the construction site, he has been like a water tank falling off the moon, half cold. I live in a shack that is ventilated everywhere, and I don't eat rice, white noodles, big fish and meat, as Wang Wensi said, I have been here for several days, and I don't even have a TV to watch movies. Who doesn't know that Laqi Laba is freezing when he goes out. The wind in this winter is as fast as a knife and as sharp as a needle, who can stand working against this howling northwest wind? It's strange to say, the more he is afraid of the cold wind, the more it will drill into his neck, and the more he is afraid of getting tired, the harder it will become. It takes half a day to dig a hole the size of a bowl. He resented Wang Wensi a little, but he didn't say anything in his mouth, but he was saying in his heart: "Hmph, you say that this place is more beautiful than heaven, but I am here for a few days." He regretted that he shouldn't have listened to other people's pouts. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to follow the path Wang Wensi pointed out to him. Watching Li Minqiang act, he will do something for me, and I will rest for a while when he leaves. Just now he found that Li Minqiang put down the iron pickaxe and entered the shed, and his heart was happy. I thought: Li Minqiang really couldn't stand to go into the shed to rest. But he just wanted to slip away, and after a while, Li Minqiang came out of the shed with a pair of large earthen baskets, and his heart was cold. At this time, when he saw Minqiang go to the room again, he was happy again, staring at Li Minqiang with his eyes, and he didn't see him for a long time, so he ran to the thatched house in plain clothes. He stayed in the thatched house for a long time and came out to see that Li Minqiang had not yet worked on the construction site, and he felt more down-to-earth. When he returned to the construction site, he said that he was working, but he was playing, and he didn't expect that when he was squatting in the thatched house, Li Minqiang said a few words to the cook, and then went into the village to borrow a stone rammer.

Li Minqiang threw the stone rammer to the ground with a "bang" and smashed a big hole.

Wang Mingkun hurriedly took off the towel around his neck and handed it to Li Minqiang, who smiled and wiped his sweat.

Xiao Minghui leaned over and asked puzzledly, "Brother Minqiang, what are you carrying this thing for?" ”

Wang Mingkun had already understood Li Minqiang's intentions and said, "What are you doing? You see! As he spoke, he picked up the stone rammer and smashed it to the ground with a "bang", "Understood?" Smash the frozen layer! Everyone smiled happily. Wang Mingkun asked eagerly, "Minqiang, tell me what are we going to do?" ”

Li Minqiang threw the towel into Mingkun's hand, beckoned everyone to come around, he squatted in front of a planed pit and made a gesture and said: "The army is fighting, what if the enemy is strong and well-defended? In order to achieve the final victory from the frontal attack alone, it will have to pay a great price. Therefore, they often try to penetrate into the enemy's interior and smash their internal organs, so that the enemy in front of them loses their support, and if they attack in this way from the outside, the enemy will have to collapse. We have to talk about some tactics in the frozen soil layer, this frozen soil layer is so hard, we only attack it from the front, it takes a lot of effort to dig a big pit, which will affect the progress of the project, we first hollow out the loose soil under the frozen layer, and the frozen layer will lose its support, and then use this stone rammer on it to give it such a moment, it is iron armor, we can also smash it. ”

Xiao Minghui jumped high happily when he heard this method, and said, "If this method is good, then our progress will be fast." ”

Wang Mingkun glanced at Li Xiaobao's uncompetitive appearance, lowered his voice and said pointedly: "Minqiang, aren't you cold?" ”

Li Minqiang smiled and said, "Cold? Look at who is not sweating, see if you are hot, you can steam steamed buns. ”

Everyone was amused by Minqiang's words.

Wang Mingkun said angrily: "There are people who are shivering in thick cotton jackets. As he spoke, he glanced at Xiaobao again.

Li Minqiang heard what Wang Mingkun said, and saw Li Xiaobao shrinking his neck and not raising his head, and squatting to the side without daring to open his eyes, he understood that eight or nine was not far from ten. Li Minqiang said word by word: "If you want to say that it is cold, how can you not be cold when you work on this river beach in winter, but let's think about the old-timers of the Red Army who climbed snowy mountains and grasslands for the sake of our motherland today, and think about the soldiers who climbed the ice and snow to guard the north gate of our country. In the face of difficulties, we must show the hard-headed spirit of a warrior. In order to build our new countryside, we must work hard and work hard. Motivation is a hammer, difficulty is a stone, a hammer knocks on a stone, and difficulty bows its head. Isn't that right? ”

"Yes!" Everyone replied in unison.

Li Minqiang's words, every word was hot, igniting the fire in everyone's hearts, Wang Mingkun waved his hand, stood up like a tiger and said: "Yes! We're just going to work hard! The frozen layer is hard, let's give it a hammer to smash the steel plate, hard to hit! ”

At this time, Li Minqiang's body shook and almost fell. Wang Mingkun hugged him: "Minqiang, you ......"

Li Minqiang didn't sit down, but with beads of sweat on his face, he said, "It's okay, let's get to work." ”

"You're blind!" Wang Mingkun said that he pressed Li Minqiang to the ground, no matter how Li Minqiang stopped him, Wang Mingkun insisted on taking off Li Minqiang's shoes to let everyone understand. When I took off my shoes, I was shocked: they were all bright red, and blood and socks were stuck together.

Here's the thing. On the night of coming to the reservoir construction site, the whole construction site was brightly lit, and the army of repairing the reservoir was put into the battle of building a shed, Li Minqiang looked at this moving scene, and wanted to use it for two people, he was carrying the wood to the house, and the foot was pushed by something, a little painful, he thought it was something and didn't care about continuing to work, the shed was laid, he felt that the foot board hurt badly, he hid in the shed and lifted his foot to see, it was an iron nail pierced into the heart of the foot, he buckled the nail cap and gritted his teeth and pulled it out. Blood immediately poured out, and beads of sweat soaked into his face in pain. At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the shed, and Minqiang didn't have time to put on his shoes, so he hurriedly covered his feet with his hat.

Chang Ziming came in from outside with a lamp, and said while hanging a lantern on the pillar: "Minqiang, the speed of your platoon is very fast, I have seen that the whole platoon of sheds is almost finished." ”

"There may be some problems with the house."

"It's already built, where did I come from, it's a good ride."

"Mayor Mare, you can take a closer look at the other sheds, there may be some inappropriate places."

"Don't look at it, you will not be able to do things well with you in charge. Give me a cigarette to smoke, and I didn't bother to smoke it all day. Saying that, the people came over.

Li Minqiang originally wanted to put Chang Ziming on his shoes, but Chang Ziming asked him for cigarettes instead.

"Oh, I said Minqiang, why did you put your hat on your feet? Hehe. At this time, he found that Minqiang's face was wrong, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"It's nothing."

"That's not right!" As he spoke, he picked up his hat and looked at it, he was shocked, his feet were still bleeding, "I'll call a doctor for you." ”

Li Minqiang grabbed him and said, "Mayor Town, we just entered the field, the work has not started yet, and the task is still very heavy, so it doesn't matter if I just broke a little skin." As he spoke, he endured the pain, put on his shoes, and stood up.

"Then I'll have to see a doctor!"

"I'll just go on my own. Mayor Mare, you can't tell anyone about this, or it won't affect everyone's mood. ”

Chang Ziming was moved and didn't speak, nodded and shook his head.

The next day, Li Minqiang got up before dawn and fought with everyone. But his feet, which had become heavy, had to endure great pain with every step, but he still persevered and acted as if nothing had happened, for fear of being discovered by others, and endured the pain and went to the construction site as usual. He was working hard with the rest of the group, and Dr. Fan came to visit the clinic with a medicine box on his back, so he quickly hid in the shed. Because he had in his pocket a full leave list prescribed by Dr. Fan. Let Dr. Fan see that he will be "confined". Dr. Fan walked over, and he came out of the shed again and came to the construction site with a frame of dirt. When he saw that everyone was doing so hard, he used his brain again, and borrowed a stone rammer through the pain.

Everyone was moved by Li Minqiang's strong perseverance, Xiao Minghui's bright eyes filled with tears, and he thought in his heart: I heard that Minqiang risked his life to rescue the people in distress in the flood relief work, and was seriously injured and could not go to the battlefield, and was awarded a second-class meritorious service. Now I am fighting on the reservoir construction site regardless of my own pain, and I often say that I learn from heroes, and heroes are not just around the corner. I want to do what the people are like, and only in this way is it meaningful to live.

Wang Mingkun was about to run to find a doctor, but Minqiang grabbed him: "Don't go, the doctor has already seen it." Look, the medicine is all here. As he spoke, he took the medicine the doctor had prescribed him out of his pocket.

Wang Mingkun hurriedly stomped his foot and said, "This won't work, you have to rest for a few days." "When you say that, you have to turn your back on the people. Everyone is also discussing:

"I have to rest, don't do it anymore."

"If you don't get it right, you'll be in trouble if you get infected."

……

Li Minqiang looked at everyone's concerned faces, which reminded him of the night before he left the army, when the battalion commander said to him: "Minqiang, you are about to move to a new post, and the new post is also a battlefield, and you also need to fight." As a revolutionary soldier trained by the army, no matter what post he is in, he must carry forward the glorious traditions of our army, carry forward the revolutionary spirit of not being afraid of hardship and death, and make outstanding achievements to add glory to our army...... "Since it is a battlefield and a battle, there will be bloodshed, so what is my little injury?" He thought of the migrant workers in front of him, and the work in front of him was intense and hard. But the hardships didn't scare everyone, and the momentum was still so strong. The more this situation is, the more necessary it is to show concern for everyone, do a good job in ideological work, and make sure that everyone's enthusiasm can be developed and consolidated. Thinking of this, a huge force supported him, he suddenly stood up from the ground, and said very excitedly: "Don't worry about me, it should be our project progress that should be in mind." In order to fight a new China, the predecessors were not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, did not cry when seriously injured, and did not get out of the line of fire if they were lightly injured. If I break a little skin, you'll be uncomfortable, so what's the matter! We're fighting right now, too! The new China that our predecessors fought with battle needs us to build with the spirit of fighting! The work we face is arduous, but it is also glorious! ”

Li Minqiang saw that everyone's faces were full of joy and released red light. Only Wang Mingkun was still thinking silently with his head down. Li Minqiang said loudly: "Please pay attention to the comrades of the second and third classes!" Come together, now take a break, let's ask a squad leader to sing a song to everyone, okay? ”

Everyone came alive all at once: "Okay! A round of applause followed.

Wang Mingkun, who was bowing his head and pondering Li Minqiang's words repeatedly, was caught off guard by everyone, scratched his scalp and blushed and said: "You are really good at playing tricks on people, my thick voice can be stuffed into steamed buns, how can I sing, don't tease." Let's invite Zhang Yiming, the little showman of the third class, to come to a song. ”

Zhang Yiming waved his hand and said: "My songs are old-fashioned, let's let our platoon commander give you a beautiful song that I learned in the army!" ”

"Good! Let's give a song to the platoon commander! Another round of applause.

Li Minqiang's voice is not stronger than others, and he rarely raps and sings, but he feels that now it is not just a matter of singing a song, but also using his singing voice to cheer everyone up and boost their spirits. So he said, "My voice is like a broken gong, and I can't sing well. ”

"Good!"

"You start."

Li Minqiang cleared his throat and raised his head, and a majestic song sounded on the construction site:

The Red Army is not afraid of difficult expeditions,

Thousands of rivers and mountains are just waiting for leisure.

……

The singing is getting louder and louder, and the more it is sung, the more majestic it becomes, and everyone who sings is warm in their hearts. Everyone forgot about the fatigue, drove away the cold, was in high spirits, and the fighting spirit was high. The glorious image of the heroes inspires them, and they must overcome all difficulties and win the victory in the construction of the reservoir project!
