On the curved river, looking from afar, there are crowds of people and red flags.

Late autumn weather is characterized by thunderstorms, strong winds, and occasional snowflakes.

In the face of silt swamps, the progress of the project was slow, and the project command was worried that it would not be completed on time before the freeze.

Let's say, the man led the group to work in full swing, and suddenly heard someone holding a microphone, shouting and distributing leaflets along the river.

"Migrant workers, you have worked hard. In order to encourage everyone to work hard and strive to complete the project ahead of schedule, the headquarters of the Dongliao River dam construction project has introduced incentive policies and launched labor competitions. ”

"The first team to complete will be rewarded with 500 catties of sorghum rice and a big fat pig, the second place will be rewarded with a big fat pig, and the third place will be rewarded with 500 catties of sorghum rice.

"And this good thing?" The crowd pricked up their ears.

Li Gang ran to get a flyer back and handed it to the yakzi. He looked at the flyer carefully, and everyone came to him.

"Yakzi, shall we compete?"

"Do you want to compete?"

"Yes."

The members of the club spoke in unison. The members of the club have now gotten up early and tried their best to get up early and dark, because of the long-term famine, they can't eat enough all day, they are seriously lacking in nutrition, their physical fitness is not good, and they have no strength to work, so it would be good if they could complete it on time according to the current progress.

However, the incentive policy is attractive, 500 catties of sorghum rice, each person can be divided into 25 catties, a big fat pig, can make the whole Tun father and old folks improve their lives.

Moreover, the food brought from the production team can last for 20 days when it is full, and it is better for everyone to make more efforts when they are full of food and finish it as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Yakzi secretly vowed not only to compete, but also to win the first place.

"Li Gang, you go and tell the person who handed out the leaflet to put the name of our migrant worker group on the newspaper." He instructed Li Gang.

"Okay."

Li Gang agreed, quickly ran ashore, and signed up for the Xingfutun migrant worker group.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains.

He mobilized everyone and said: "If we want to do it, we will do it big, other migrant worker groups may increase the manpower, and we will increase the manpower more than the loss, and there is no such condition, just rely on us people, fight with them, we must pull the grain and fat pigs back, so that the family don't wait for us in vain, do you have confidence?" ”

"Yes!"

The members of the club are gearing up and motivated.

In order to win the first place, in the face of the pressure of other teams to increase manpower, he thought that he could not rely on brute force, and he must find a way to improve efficiency.

After repeated pondering, under the premise of ensuring that the tools are effective, the yak changed the practice of segmenting according to people, adopted the method of division of labor and cooperation, arranged two people to use two-tooth hooks, pickaxes and five-tooth sharp forks to specifically conquer the swamp roots and soil layers, two people specially leveled the dam, others have the strength to throw the soil to the high place, and when they have no strength, they build a dam at the low place.

In this way, he gradually figured out ways to improve efficiency, leading the members to get up early during the day and work until midnight at night.

The efficiency has improved a lot, but the other teams are not far behind, and it is still very difficult for the team to win the first place.

What to do?

He remembered the move to use external force when plowing tree pits in the spring, but whose power did he borrow?

He learned that the other migrant workers of the Happiness Brigade had been fighting for a few days, and several groups had withdrawn from the competition, mainly because they could not eat enough and could not work, and it would be good to be able to ensure the construction period, and they did not have much hope for the labor competition.

In this case, he wanted to secondment migrant workers, first help him win the first place, and then help them ensure the construction period.

However, I heard that other migrant workers did this and were disqualified from the competition, and it seems that they can't think of crooked ideas, and this road will not work.

At dinner, Er Laizi heard that Yakzi was thinking of a way, so he volunteered: "I have a way." ”

"What can you do? Say it. Yakzi asked.

"I can ask them to volunteer to help us in the evening." Erlai Zi is quite sure.

Don't underestimate this kid's ability, tonight's meal, although everyone didn't eat fish, but drank sweet boiled milk.

What's going on? Where did this milk come from?

Er Laizi and Jiang Dana are responsible for the food of the migrant workers in Xingfutun, and these two members have tried their best to ensure that everyone can eat well.

There is a lot of rain in autumn, the water flow of the Dongliao River is turbulent, and the water is deep and cold, you can't go down the river at all, you can't catch fish, Er Laizi has to run far away to find the river, put on the fish cage that you weave, and catch some small fish and shrimp with soil blue.

Erlaizi caught fish, and the first two days had little harvest, and everyone did not wait for the imaginary fish feast.

On the third day, Er Laizi got up early and went out to collect the fish cages all morning, but he didn't catch many fish, barely enough to fight the tooth sacrifice at noon.

In the afternoon, Er Laizi carried Tulan, carrying a bucket ready to fill fish, and looked for a river along the Dongliao River, and as he walked, he suddenly found a few cows and two goats grazing on the bank.

Er Laizi looked around and found that no one seemed to be watching, so he did it on a whim.

", I can't catch a fish, I'll ask everyone to drink milk."

Thinking so in his heart, Er Laizi put down Tulan, carried the bucket, and secretly ran to the cow.

He wanted to milk the cow, but the cow Mou Mou screamed and resisted, and he wandered around for a long time, unable to get forward, and could not succeed.

Since the cow can't do it, Er Laizi started the idea of a goat again.

The goat was honest, and was quickly subdued by Er Laizi, so he simply fell to the ground first and directly sipped the goat's milk.

Erlaizi was enjoying the fragrance of goat's milk when she suddenly heard a woman's giggling laughter.

Erlaizi was startled, and immediately stopped, and looked up at the laughter, and a woman wearing a flower turban was standing there close to him.

The woman looked to be less than forty years old, not tall, with a delicate face, wearing sleeves and hands

He was holding a stick and a straw in his mouth.

"Well, why don't you suck?" The woman giggled again, with a hint of shyness in her laughter.

Erlaizi sat up in a panic, wanted to get up and ran away, and the woman had already come up to him.

"Why are you stealing my goat's milk?" The woman looked at Erraiko and smiled.

Er Laizi saw that the woman didn't mean to embarrass him, and sat cross-legged and played with Laipi: "Eldest sister, I'm so hungry that I slurred your milk." ”

The woman blushed with shame and seemed to be excited: "You make it clear, whose?" ”

"Isn't it your? Oh, I'm sorry big sister, I was wrong, it's your goat's milk. Er Laizi deliberately teased the woman.

"You're such a lai, I've never seen you like this, you spit out goat's milk for me." The woman deliberately wanted to make things difficult for Erlaizi.

"I can't spit it out, the sheep eats grass, what is squeezed out is milk, what I eat is milk, what is squeezed out is urine, sister, why don't I squeeze it out and return it to you?" The more Lai Zi talked, the more unspeakable he became.

When the woman heard Er Laizi say this, she couldn't stop her chest from rising and falling, and scolded with a smile: "You get out of here!" ”

"Okay!" Erlaizi got up and wanted to leave.

"Stop!" The woman shouted.

Er Laizi stopped, turned to look at the woman again: "What are you doing, eldest sister, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, I haven't seen my wife for a few days, in this wilderness, we are two lonely men and widows, aren't you afraid of what I think of you?" ”

"Heh, heh, heh, you're so bad." The woman was teased by Erlaizi.

"Men are not bad, women are not loved, big sister, am I quite cute?" Erlaizi has no face and no skin.

"What do you do? How did you get here? The woman questioned curiously.

"I'm your match, let's meet."

"Can you be serious?" The woman's face flushed, "Say, what are you doing?" ”

Erlaizi ignored the woman and staggered away, he wanted to continue to look for fish in the river.

There was a river not far away, seeing a bay of blisters, Er Laizi felt that there might be fish in the blisters, he walked to the blisters, regardless of the cold water, pulled up his trouser legs, took the soil blue, and tried to go into the water to catch the fish.

If there was really a fish, Er Laizi obviously caught a big catfish, but unfortunately it ran away.

Erlaizi was not discouraged, continued to fish, and after a while, he caught a lot of loaches and small trash fish, and his legs and feet were so cold that he cramped, and finally got a big crucian carp.

"Well, did you catch fish like that? Aren't you afraid of the cold? ”

At some point, the woman who was herding the cows and goats also came to the blister.

"I'll just give you some goat's milk, and I haven't eaten your milk, and you're still relying on it?" Er Laizi glanced at the woman and said, "If you want to talk about Lai, I am better than you, do you know it, my nickname is Laizi, Er Laizi." ”

"So your name is Erlaizi, no wonder it's so bad," the woman asked with a smile, "Well, where did you come from, and what are you doing here catching fish?" ”

"Didn't you see the migrant workers of the East Liaohe River working? Why don't you catch some fish to eat you? ”

"It turns out that you are a migrant worker, how many fish can you catch like this, there are big fish in the Dongliao River, do you want to catch them?"

"Don't stand and talk without backache, if you can catch me, use you."

"Will you come back tomorrow?"

"What do you mean? Do you like me? ”

"Hey, hey, hey, I want to be beautiful, I mean I have a fishing net at home, I'm afraid you won't use it."

Er Laizi heard the woman say that her family had fishing nets, and she suddenly came to her senses.

"Sister, you mean, you're willing to lend me your fishing nets?"

"I see that you are quite able to endure hardships, like you fishing, you can't catch much, if only there was a net." The woman said, "I have a slit in my house, a lifting net, and a spinning net, and if you come back tomorrow, I can bring it to you and lend it to you." ”

"Really?"

Er Laizi was so excited that he walked out of the blister, came to the woman, and saw that there was a gadfly on the woman's chest, so he reached out and patted it.

"You're so bad, don't do it." The woman's face was flushed with shame, and she didn't dare to look up at Erlaizi.

"Eldest sister, then let's decide, I'll come tomorrow, you lend me the net, I'll catch a fish, pick the biggest one for you." Erlaizi got serious.

"Who scarces your fish." The woman raised her head and looked at Erlaizi, "How many of you are here?" ”

"Twenty people, all strong laborers, except for me, are all raw scabs, screaming fiercely, do you want me to bring you one?"

"you, it's not serious."

"Eldest sister, what's your last name? Who are the cows and the goats? ”

Erlaizi sat down on the ground and started talking to the woman.
