Chapter III: Tests (6) Sudden Turmoil

Sixth, the turmoil arose

Li Xiaobao was also moved for a while when he saw Li Minqiang's actions. Later, Li Minqiang talked to him again, his understanding changed, and although his attitude was not so tough, his mood was still very low. Usually when chatting, he can still say a few words, but when he arrives at the meeting, he droops his head and doesn't say a word, and someone calls his name, so he raises his head: "Everyone says what's going on, I don't have an opinion." "Every day, it will be the same. A few days later, the problem of being afraid of hardship and tiredness was committed again, especially at noon today, Li Xiaobao actually gave Xiao Minghui an idea to escape with him, but Xiao Minghui did not fall into his trap, and immediately told the squad leader Wang Mingkun about it. Li Xiaobao saw that the situation was not good, so he came to do it endlessly, rolled up the cover roll and wanted to slip away. Before his quilt was tied, Wang Mingkun rushed to him like a lion, pulled him out of the shed, pointed at his nose and angrily reprimanded: "You are simply a monk with an umbrella and lawless!" What do you want to do? ”

Li Xiaobao said without timidity: "What are you doing? I'm going home, what's wrong? ”

"This is not a carriage shop, you can come and go as you want!"

Everyone flocked over when they heard the shouting outside and fired at Li Xiaobao:

"It's shameful to be a deserter!"

"You're so bad!"

"What a man!"

……

Li Xiaobao saw that everyone was looking at him angrily and questioning him with stern words, cold sweat broke out on his head, and he beat the small drum in his heart. Although his heart is empty, he still does not show weakness in his mouth. Tilting his head, he said, "You are bad people!" ”

"Who spoiled you? What are you doing here? ”

"It's a woodpecker, and its beak is quite hard!"

Xiao Minghui squeezed in front of Li Xiaobao from the crowd, his eyes were shining with anger, and taught Li Xiaobao how to lie to Li Minqiang and ask for leave, if he didn't approve it, he secretly deserted, and when he returned to the village, he said that he was too tired to do it, and he came back with the approval of the leader, etc. Tell it in public from beginning to end.

As soon as Xiao Minghui's words fell, everyone shouted in a gossipy, saying that he was interfering with and sabotaging the construction of the reservoir. Others leaned forward, eager to kick him twice to relieve their anger.

Coincidentally, Chen Wenjun happened to be passing by here. When he heard this noise, he walked up to everyone unhappily: "What's the matter?" It's so noisy. ”

Li Xiaobao couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Chen Wenjun coming. I thought this was broken, so I stretched my neck and stretched my face to pout. But he saw Chen Wenjun frowning tightly, and he was silent for a while and did not mean to criticize him, but instead threw dissatisfied eyes at everyone. At this time, he remembered what Wang Wensi had said to him at home that the town leaders had an opinion on Li Minqiang. His heart that was in his throat fell to the ground with a "flutter", and his courage grew, thinking that Chen Wenjun would not face Li Minqiang and would speak for him. Like a scorpion stinging its buttocks, he stood up suddenly, stared at everyone with round eyes and said, "Am I a thief or a hooligan?" You besiege me like this, and I am not angry with this! I'm going to sue! ”

Li Xiaobao's shouting didn't matter, which made the calm scene tense again.

"Who is besieging you? Don't mess around! ”

"You didn't want people to talk about what you did wrong?"

"You're a tiger, huh? The ass can't be touched. ”

……

Wang Mingkun pulled Li Xiaobao in front of Chen Wenjun and said angrily: "Xiaobao, aren't you going to sue?" Today, in front of everyone, tell the leader what you did. ”

"yes, let's talk about it!" Everyone said in unison.

Li Xiaobao originally wanted to scare everyone with a few hard words, but Chen Wenjun said a few more words and the matter passed. But Chen Wenjun stood aside and kept silent, so Li Xiaobao was scared. He knew in his heart that his approach let the leaders know that the truth was dishonorable and there would be no sweetness. So he shouted, "What are you going to do?" Why do you dare to hit someone? ”

"Be reasonable, don't talk nonsense with your tongue!"

"Tell me about the 'good deeds' you did, as soon as the leader leaves, you won't have a chance to talk about it."

There was another round of rebuttal and ridicule.

Chen Wenjun waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay! Come on! If you have something to say slowly, what's the use of arguing? Is it enough to quarrel and solve the problem? He nodded to Li Xiaobao and said, "If you have an opinion, just say it." ”

Chen Wenjun's words didn't matter, which made Li Xiaobao's hanging heart suddenly "pout" and suddenly raised his throat again. He didn't dare to say it in this situation, and he couldn't help but say it. He stammered "I...... I can't do it. And he crouched down on the ground again.

"Why can't you do it when everyone else can do it?"

"Are you young or old, are you ashamed to panic when you say such things? I'm blushing for you! ”

"I think he's afraid of hardship and tiredness!"

"What is your purpose in instigating Xiao Minghui to desert?"

"Tell me about it!"

Seeing that the problem was raised to the point again, Li Xiaobao suddenly stood up from the ground and defended: "I can't stand your bullying!" Li Min Qiangguang knows that he is fighting for fame and fortune for himself, regardless of the life and death of others, I have an opinion, if it goes on like this, everyone will be tired and lie down, don't look at you now with your chest and talking big, the days are still long, and there is a time when you cry for your father and mother. If I had known this, I wouldn't have come at all! With that, he squeezed out of the crowd and tried to slip away. Xiao Minghui grabbed him and said angrily: "You want to slip away, no way!" You have to make it clear, who is bullying you? ”

"Yes, to be clear. You can't just wronged people! ”

"Don't spew manure all over your mouth!"

"He's disturbing people's hearts!"

"A good donkey doesn't bark, and a good dog doesn't get in the way, just let him push the dung ball and get out, don't smoke others here."

Everyone's angry voice shouted at each other, so that Chen Wenjun only felt thunder and lightning in his ears, and he thought distraughtly: The progress of your platoon's project has gone up, but the team is in chaos. He remembered a report in his pocket, which was a report written by Chang Ziming to the headquarters on Li Minqiang's experience of "brainstorming, using brains, and promoting the progress of the project", and suggested that the headquarters promote it throughout the construction site. His hand reached into his pocket and squeezed the report fiercely, thinking to himself: Let's press this report first. So he waved his hand to everyone and said: "Forget it, don't make any noise, Comrade Li Xiaobao is not doing the right thing, everyone should help him calmly and patiently, care about him, love him, how can you besiege him like this?" ”

At this time, the deputy platoon commander Daniel Zhang came over with a bucket, he took advantage of the lunch break to carry water for the guy's room, and when he saw so many people around, he hurried over: "What's going on?" ”

Chen Wenjun pinched his waist with both hands and said to Daniel Zhang angrily: "Where is Minqiang?" ”

"I've sent the stone rammer."

"Look at it, it's all messed up. You tell Minqiang to write a review on this issue and send it to the company! It's not like that! ”

"What's wrong with our platoon leader?"

"Xiaobao made a mistake, why did he let the platoon commander do a review?"

"Secretary Chen, isn't it appropriate to do this?"

Chen Wenjun waved his hands impatiently and said, "Okay! Alright! I have something to do, and I'll explain it to you later when I have time. After saying that, he turned around and left.

Chen Wenjun's actions aroused everyone's dissatisfaction, and they all shouted indignantly, and everyone's hearts were on fire.

The sun went down, and a flock of flying pigeons drifted around, fading into the twilight.

At the end of the work, Li Minqiang and Daniel Zhang, two platoon leaders, walked and chatted while carrying shovels on the dam of the reservoir.

Daniel Zhang said: "It doesn't matter if there is a Li Xiaobao, you don't have to think too much, the difficulty of the permafrost layer has passed, it will not affect the construction period, everyone's thinking is stable, and the motivation is also very strong, and it is certain to finish ahead of schedule if you want to do it like this." ”

Li Minqiang lowered his head and said, "This shouldn't happen, why is Li Xiaobao like this?" Li Minqiang said this in a low voice, as if he was saying it to Daniel Zhang, and as if he was asking himself.

"I talked to Xiaobao for a while, and he said that your village cadres deceived him, and he was deceived."

Li Minqiang was stunned: "Oh, that's what he said?" ”

"Ah, he still feels quite aggrieved. What did your village cadres tell him before he came? ”

"It was the deputy secretary of the village who came to work with him, and I don't know what he said."

"I suspect that maybe what the deputy secretary said in the conversation with him had an impact on him, or why did he say that he was deceived."

Li Minqiang didn't speak, lowered his head and pondered: What did Wang Wensi tell him? If there was no other reason, he wouldn't be so foolish. He raised his head and asked, "How are the migrant workers in your village determined?" ”

"The branch held a mobilization meeting, and everyone voluntarily signed up, but the result was that there were more registrations and fewer people, and many people still had opinions. I heard that Xinxing Village did the same. So everyone's thinking is relatively stable. What about your village? ”

"In our village, the leaders nominate first, and then the village committee meets to approve it, and then do everyone's work separately after it is confirmed."

"You have a problem with this, that is, you can't come if you want to come, and you don't want to come instead, like Li Xiaobao."

"yes, we don't have as much work as you do. Li Xiaobao has been pampered since he was a child, he is afraid of hardship and tiredness, we have to continue to do his work, and we can't let him develop like this. Changing the topic, he said: "Most of the migrant workers we came here are young people, and they don't know much about the past, so I think we will use the evening rest time to invite the old people from nearby villages to make a report on the bittersweet memories to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for work." This is not only an education for Li Xiaobao, but also for everyone. ”

"Yes, no matter how hard and tired you are, you can't compare to the bitterness and tiredness of the past, and you don't feel bitter and tired now. When will you do it? ”

"I'll report to the town leaders before deciding. In addition, there are four party members and nine league members in our platoon, so should we set up a temporary party group? ”

"It is necessary that the more difficult the time, the more attention should be paid to giving play to the exemplary and leading role of the backbone."

"You are the deputy secretary of the village, you have work experience, and you know more about the situation of migrant workers than me, what do you do with this team leader?"

"Okay, I'll gather the party members for a meeting tonight. In addition, we should also care about everyone's body in normal times, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, live a collective life, and whether we can do some activities at night to enliven the atmosphere. ”

"Hmm. Just do as you say. ”
