Yang Xiaole came to the platform.

The train had stopped there, and many tanned people in sleeveless undershirts were loading goods at the door of the warehouse.

It is this train that is going to Daqing.

There are many children on the platform of the station.

From time to time, the sound of women beating and scolding their children and the cries of children can be heard.

Yang Xiaole took a look and went directly to the carriage.

There were no hours to go, and he was not going to hide any more, lest it be troublesome for the people accompanying him to see him.

This is a car that transports both passengers and goods.

When he came in, he regretted it.

There was a strong smell of smoke in the carriage, as well as a strong pungent sour smell.

This is the result of not taking a shower for a few days in the summer.

Thinking about it, not to mention anything else, the young woman I just met when I bought a ticket came from Shaanxi and Guizhou with a little girl, and I couldn't get there in more than ten days.

There is no place to take a bath this summer, and the smell is as bad as it smells.

I couldn't help it, and he came out again with his things.

It was very hot and humid in the carriage, and many people came out to enjoy the coolness.

"Don't scratch, scratch."

In the middle of his thoughts, the mother and son who had just met were also on the station.

I saw that the little girl was holding her little black hands, scratching her neck vigorously, and her mother was nagging beside her.

"It hurts!!"

The little girl was in some pain.

Seeing this, my mother could only comfort: "Bear with me, it's going to be there soon~~"

Yang Xiaole glanced at it, and the little guy had dense red bumps on his neck.

It's too hot to get prickly heat.

Looking at the little girl's uncomfortable expression, Yang Xiaole thought about it and quietly took out a bottle of flower water from her bag.

"Come, pour a little, wipe it and it will be better."

came closer, smiled at the little girl, opened the bottle in his hand, and motioned for her to take a little.

The little girl looked at him and subconsciously stepped back.

Hide next to your mother.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole smiled at his mother; "She has prickly heat on her body, use this to wipe a little, it will be fine, but it starts to hurt a little."

The other party stretched out his head and looked at it curiously.

Not sure what this thing is.

Seeing his expression, Yang Xiaole poured a little on his hand, and then wiped a little on his neck.

Instantly, a fragrance came to the face, and there was a cool feeling on the neck.

"Try!!"

It is estimated that she smelled the smell, and the woman hurriedly shook her head: "I can't catch it (reluctant), I can't catch it (I can't help it), it's too expensive to enjoy it." ”

Yang Xiaole probably understood, meaning no, this thing is too expensive.

"It's okay, use a little bit, it's not so itchy!"

After speaking, he took the little girl's hand and poured it a little, and then said with a smile: "Wipe it on the neck, but it hurts a little, and it will be comfortable after a while." ”

The little girl blinked her big eyes and held the flower water in her hand.

It's so fragrant.

Then he turned his eyes to his mother.

Seeing that the other party had poured it out, she could only say, "Wipe it, thank you big brother." ”

"Thank you, brother."

"You're welcome."

Seeing this, the little girl wiped a little on her neck.

"Hiss~~~"

At first, she grinned in pain.

Tears are about to fall.

"It's okay, it'll be fine in a while, bear with it, it hurts a little."

Hearing this, the other party nodded slightly.

After a while, she smiled and said to her mother, "Mother, it's cool and comfortable." ”

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole motioned to her: "Let's do it again." ”

Seeing this, the little one cautiously opened his hands and bent down to continue.

After a little while, she began to dig into her stomach.

Even the back was scratched a few times.

Hoarse grinning in pain.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xiaole shook his head and said to the mother of the girl next to him: "You can wipe a little, she can't reach it." ”

Hearing this, the woman nodded and took a little, carefully smearing a little on the little girl's back.

After the woman finished smearing, she still sniffed curiously on her nose, and then asked with a smile: "Brother Yuan, where are you going?" (Little brother, where are you going?) ）”

Yang Xiaole blinked.

"Ask me where I'm going, right?"

"yes!"

"Oh, I'm going to Daqing too, what about you? Which drilling team to go to. ”

The woman looked down at her daughter and looked up at her much more comfortable, looked up and smiled: "Hungry people go and starve to death." ”

As he spoke, he gestured with his hands.

"What does it mean to mess with 1?"

Yang Xiaole understood, asked with a smile, and when he saw the other party nodding, he smiled directly: "Sister, I'll go to 1204 too, let's go to a place." ”

I didn't expect to go to a place.

"Hey, hey!!"

The other party was also excited when he saw this, and he chattered.

If you say it slowly, he can still understand, but if you say it quickly, he really can't react, and the old words he says to women are very authentic.

Although I was already very reluctant to speak "Mandarin".

Yang Xiaole smiled beside him and bowed his head slightly.

But I still understood what she meant.

What is the woman's name Zhang Chunlan, he doesn't know, anyway, he didn't hear it clearly.

Barely call it that.

The man was a soldier, and his hometown, which was supposed to be discharged from the army this year, was already ready to go back, but the train didn't catch up, and he was going to leave the next day.

Sometimes fate is so magical.

Now there is a lot of tension in the city, and where there are jobs, most of them go back to their hometowns.

The other party was originally discharged from the army and went home to farm, but he did not succeed, and he received an urgent notice that night, and followed the veterans who did not leave the army, and quickly went to Daqing to support the construction here.

The good thing is to become an honorable oil worker.

This time it was a letter to let them settle in the past.

Yang Xiaole bowed his head lightly when he heard this.

While waiting, he also saw an old-fashioned train with a strong smell of gasoline coming from the station and heading into the distance.

This is a crude oil truck.

Since June 1st, the first train carrying 600 tons of crude oil has entered Kyoto, and trains carrying crude oil have been running out from time to time.

After waiting for a while, I heard someone blowing a whistle and calling for someone to get into the car.

The car is leaving.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole hurriedly urged: "It's time to go, get in the car, it's time to go." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chunlan hurriedly pulled her daughter on the train.

It's all the people who went there together, and it's still on a train, so he didn't go into the space to stay.

Fortunately, after a long time, you will get used to it.

Zhang Chunlan and the two of them were in front, and Yang Xiaole was in the back, these were two middle-aged men, and he really didn't understand what these two people were talking about.

Occasionally, there were two sentences of conversation, and Yang Xiaole smiled.

Fortunately, after the car started, the smell in the carriage dissipated a little.

More than 100 kilometers, a total of four hours.

At half past twelve, the car stopped at the platform, and people came down in droves.

When they came out, everyone was confused.

Where to go next!

Not only others, but even Yang Xiaole was confused for a while.

The entrance is a small square paved with blue bricks.

Not far away are low brick houses, but they are all connected together, and they look new, so they should not have been built for long.

"1047, 1048, 1049 drilling team, if there is one, it's gone! After this village, there is no such shop! ”

In the middle of his thoughts, on the edge of the square, a man wearing a white undershirt, a certain army-green hat on his head, army-green pants on his lower body, and a yellow armed belt.

Hearing the sound, everyone hula and cheered around.

He asked.

The other party is estimated to be a veteran, holding a sign with 1047 on it, only to see him pointing to the number and saying: "Go to 1047 and follow me, and the others stay and go to the reception." ”

Then he began to shout loudly again.

At this time, several people raised their hands, went over to communicate, and were placed next to each other.

After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no one, the other party took someone and left.

On this side of the street, a large open-top truck stopped, picked up the people and set off immediately.

At this time, Yang Xiaole had already come to the edge of the square, and there were several tables here.

The banner behind him reads: "Daqing Oilfield Conference Battle Headquarters Temporary Reception Point." ”

And there are some inspirational banners written all around.

I'd rather live 20 years less and desperately win the big oil field!

When the oil workers roar, the earth will tremble!

"Hello, comrade!"

"Ah, hello! What do you do? ”

The receptionist, with a mouth of river N, has a fountain pen in front of him with some registration books.

"We're here to find someone, the 1204 drilling team, how do we get there? Just come and ask! ”

"Oh, you're family! Do you have a letter of introduction? ”

"Oh, yes. It is a family member, and there is a letter of introduction. ”

Yang Xiaole hurriedly finished speaking, took out his letter of introduction and handed it to him.

At the same time, he gestured to Zhang Chunlan next to him: "Letter of introduction, give it to him." ”

"Oh, oh!"

The other party reacted and hurriedly took out the letter of introduction and handed it over.

The receptionist took it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "There is no car coming from 1204 today, but the drilling team of 1205 went to refuel, and they will be back in a while, you wait a minute, go with them." ”

The two letters of introduction were then returned.

Yang Xiaole thanked him, took the letter and asked, "Hey, okay, thank you!" So are we waiting here? ”

"Hey, just wait here for a while, if you're hungry, there's food on the other side, but you need a national food stamp."

The other party said as he pointed to the shop on the opposite street.

Yang Xiaole took a look, but he was not hungry, so naturally he would not go over.

As for Zhang Chunlan, she was reluctant to eat it when she saw it.

Then he said to Zhang Chunlan next to him: "Wait a while, the car will come over in a while." ”

The other party nodded, carrying a big backpack, and tightly pulled his daughter to stand beside him honestly.

Yang Xiaole also stood there and waited.

At this time, the people in the square also reacted and hurriedly came to ask.

For a while, he was muttering there.

Several reception staff responded one by one there, most of them family members, and a few others were middle-aged men who came to report one after another.

The scene was chaotic for a while.

However, Yang Xiaole was curious for a while.

If this woman is better in the city, but if she is from the countryside, what will happen to this ration?

The amount of labor here is already large, and if the men's food is divided, then how can these men have the physical strength to work?

I can't get enough to eat.

Isn't it too early for this family to go!

Yang Xiaole also found that two people also went to the 1204 drilling team.

After waiting for about 20 minutes, I heard someone shouting there: "The 1205 drilling team is coming to get on the bus!" I'm leaving! ”

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole and the five hurriedly passed.

Not only them, but four or five other people also passed over.

These people either went to 1205 or took them along the way.

Yang Xiaole didn't speak, he followed quietly, and when the other party asked, he naturally answered.

Anyway, it's just a matter of listening to the arrangement.

A dozen or so people were not arranged to stand next to them, and the other party also went to shout around.

Finally, I got into the car with fifteen people.

At this time, there were a lot of things on the car, all of which were packed in sacks, and it seemed that they should be food or other things.

I can't sit all there, I can only stand there.

Some people lie directly on the sack to make themselves comfortable.

After a while, the car departed.

Wandering outside.

In a few minutes, the car was on a narrow road, lined with busy farmland, where many children and women were haunted.

Ten minutes later, there was a patch of grass, reeds, meadows, and swamps, and here and there, and the occasional grove, and the occasional small mound.

(This was a swamp before, not the Gobi, which has been changed.) ）

There is not a single park or square, not a wide road, only a patch of bungalows, and there are dry barricades and manholes everywhere. As far as the eye can see, among the reeds, meadows and swamps, there are towering drilling rigs everywhere.

In time, only Yang Xiaole was in the mood to appreciate this beautiful scenery.

Everyone else was hungry and exhausted.

Some people even fell asleep with the wind blowing.

The distance is not close, turning around, driving on the path, and from time to time in the gathering area of some oil wells, leaving one or two people behind, and then driving.

More than two hours later, the car stopped in a gathering area near an oil well.

The driver came down and greeted: "1204 has arrived!" Get out of the car. ”

Hearing this, the five people got out of the car one after another.

The car drove away.

Yang Xiaole looked at the wooden gate, which was made of wooden signs, similar to the archway in Kyoto and the entrance to the farm.

1204 drilling team.

Several people looked at each other, and walked directly into the inside with the things in their hands.

The compound was very lively, full of people.

Basically, they all built houses there.

Men and women stood on the earthen wall with hammers and hammered the wall there, and scattered children stamped on the soil with bare feet.

It can be said that there is a burst of hammers.

Those who have the strength to hammer it with a wooden hammer, and those who have no strength use a wooden pier, tie it to a rope, and several people drag it together.

Trim the ground, hammer the earth walls.

Yang Xiaole took a look, this is a dry base.

Clamp the two sides with wooden planks, pour the freshly dug soil into the middle, hammer directly until the earthen wall is tamped, and then dismantle the planks and continue to do others.

Not far away, there are one manhole after another.

It is to dig a pit in the ground, and make a roof of wood on it, and the roof is a little higher than the ground.

He had seen these on the Internet in his previous life, but he had never heard of them in his life!

"Hello, who are you looking for? Is it a family member or an employee who comes to report for duty? ”

In the midst of his thoughts, a woman wearing a hat and a towel around her neck walked over and asked a few people.

"We're here to report for duty."

The other two men spoke directly.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole also said: "The three of us are family members, and we came to find our relatives." ”

"Oh, then you go there, that house is the team committee."

The other party pointed to a row of newly built earthen houses not far away.

After saying that, he left directly.

Seeing this, a few people went straight over.

Coming to the place, it was a row of five earthen houses, but there was no one in it.

Just when a few people looked around, someone shouted: "Captain Gao, someone is coming, come back quickly." ”

These are the words of a working man not far away.

"Hey, come on~!"

Everyone was curious, and they saw a middle-aged man of about forty coming out of the crowd of people working not far away.

The other party was dressed in the same uniform as the person who picked them up, a military cap, military pants, liberation shoes, plus a gray-black vest, and a gray towel hanging around his neck.

When I came to the place, I wiped my sweat, looked at a few people and said with a smile: "Hello, I am the deputy captain of the No. 1204 drilling team, surnamed Gao, are you visiting relatives or are you here to report?" ”

A few people asked and told them what they were coming for.

"Oh, come in, I'll register you."

The other party said as he smiled and let a few people in.

The structure of the earthen house, with a few pieces of wood supporting the roof, is still somewhat different from the one in the city.

"Sit down first!"

The other party gestured, went to the basin next to him, and washed his hands with the gray water inside.

That's when I came back.

After the other party sat down, he smiled at a few people: "Register, you give me the documents first, and I will register for you." Wait a minute. ”

The last words were naturally said to Yang Xiaole and a few people.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole and the three of them waited there.

Captain Gao looked at the certificate and the transfer letter, and began to register there.

Two people registered quite quickly.

Then it was Yang Xiaole's turn to be a few people.

Looking at the three of them, he asked, "Who are you looking for?" Is it together? ”

Yang Xiaole shook his head: "No, I came here alone, and I came to find my father, they should also be looking for the father of the child." ”

"Well, what's the name? Do you know how many teams you are? ”

"I don't know how many teams, and I haven't heard from them yet. The name is Yang Guangzhi, and Kyoto has come. ”

"Oh, I'll look for it."

After the other party finished speaking, he began to look for it.

Licking his fingers, looking through the pages there, it was very troublesome.

Densely packed with people's names, and the writing is not very neat.

After turning two pages in a row, Yang Xiaole hurriedly pointed to a position and said, "This." ”

"Oh, the third squadron, the sixth squad, the people of the 7th squad!"

The other party snorted lightly and said to him: "You remember, 367, you will know where it is when you go out and ask someone." ”

After speaking, he asked Zhang Chunlan next to him; "What about you?"

"Hungry men are ......"

Then he began to speak.

Obviously, the other party can understand it, and they also checked it there.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole asked him, "That, Captain Gao, can I go out and find it myself?" ”

Hearing this, the other party raised his head: "Oh, okay, then you go, don't run around!" Don't go out of the base, there is farmland outside, and outside the farmland is swamps in many places, which is very dangerous. ”

"Hey, good! Thank you! ”

After thanking him, he came out directly.

Seeing a middle-aged woman, she hurriedly asked: "That, eldest sister, let me ask you, where is the 367 team?" ”

"Oh, over there, over there, over there at the back of the house. You look for it. ”

The other pointed in one direction and said to him.

Yang Xiaole stretched out his head to take a look.

He said thank you, then walked over there.

The houses built on the entire base should be simply planned, with rows of houses at intervals, and the distance between the roads on the left and right sides is about the same.

As I walked, I looked at the people who were working.

After walking the foundations of several houses, I saw Yang Guangzhi's figure on a half-built foundation.

At this time, Yang Guangzhi's face returned to his previous swarthy appearance in the countryside.

After nearly two years of raising, the face has lost its luster again.

Fortunately, he is different from others, and there is no chilblains on his body.

"Daddy!! Yang Guangzhi! ”

At this time, Yang Guangzhi was smashing the earth wall with a wooden hammer, and was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound.

I thought I heard it wrong.

I looked around, and then I found him underneath.

"Bunny, why did you get here?"

There was no imaginary joy, and he was greeted by a burst of anger.

At this time, the people who were working also stopped their movements.

"Lao Yang, is this your doll?"

A man on the high wall asked with a smile.

Yang Guangzhi smiled and nodded, "Well, it's my son, you're busy, I'll go down first!" ”

After saying that, he stepped on the steps and went down.

When he came closer, Yang Guangzhi had a dark face and asked him, "Why are you here?" You came alone? What about you? ”

Yang Xiaole looked at him and teased: "I came here alone, but my mother knows that I came!" Dad, you don't even have a letter here, my mother is afraid that you will find me a stepmother! ”

These words made Yang Guangzhi's head even darker.

"Bunny, how do you talk?"

Then he said, "I wrote the letter!" At the beginning, it was all chaotic here, and I kept working all day and night, where did I have the time to write letters! I wrote a letter last month! It's been half a month. ”

After speaking, he glared at him: "Why did you run over alone, your mother is really, and I'm not afraid of you having an accident!" ”

Anyway, he was scared when he sat on the train for so long, and this kid actually came by himself.

Yang Xiaole shrugged, patted his backpack and said, "You left in winter, and you didn't write from me, my mother was worried that you didn't have any clothes to change, so let me come over and send you some clothes, and by the way, see how you are!" ”

He looked around and asked curiously, "Why did you come to build a house?" ”

In the crowd just now, he seemed to see a few people from the factory, but he didn't know him, he was just familiar.

"There is a shortage of houses here, and the people who have come over have slept in the floor for a few months, and they are rushing to build the house out for the winter!"

Yang Xiaole looked around and nodded slightly.

The situation here is not very good!

When he came, he saw that many people were swollen, but they were still working there!

He was terrified when he saw it, and he was afraid that these people would suddenly faint and never get up again.

"Let's go, take me to where you live, it's hard to carry so many things on your back."

"Alright, give it to me!"

Seeing this, Yang Guangzhi took the thing in his hand, "Hey, it's quite heavy!" ”

Then he shouted to the crowd: "Team Feng, my child is here, I'll take him back!" ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man who was working below agreed: "Okay, go, give you a vacation!" ”

"Hey, okay! Thank you, Team Feng! ”

After speaking, he took Yang Xiaole and walked towards the periphery of the work.

While walking, Yang Guangzhi nagged there: "You are really, why are you doing here, it costs money and is not safe." I'm fine here! ”

Yang Xiaole ignored him, but looked around.

Then he asked, "Dad, you've been here for three months, why did you come here?" I don't have a place to live, so do you still live in a manhole? ”

"Well, where else can I stay! It's nice to have a stay. ”

As the two of them spoke, they walked out of the middle work area and came to a gathering place for the manholes.

It's like a roof.

When I came to the door, I saw a glorious flag hanging on it.

Seeing his gaze, Yang Guangzhi smiled proudly: "See, this is the glorious flag of our class, and we only have three in the entire 1204 logistics department." It's in our class. ”

After speaking, he smiled and pushed open the wooden door.

The sight was a large wooden bed with a lot of bedding on it, and there were a lot of people sleeping here, at least seven or eight.

It is likely to be a class that Yang Guangzhi said.

By this time, he had already understood the structure here.

This is not a troop, but it is still in accordance with the management philosophy of the troop.

1204 is a brigade, which is equivalent to a battalion.

Below there are squadrons at the company level, platoon squadrons, and squads.

Then he smiled at him and said, "Is this flag rare?" ”

"What do you say! This one has to work the most actively, have the most attendance, and do the most work to get this flag. ”

Hearing that Daddy was showing off there, Yang Xiaole shrugged.

Yes, it must have been Daddy who gave the wine to someone else to drink, otherwise the attendance would not be so neat.

After all, everyone else looks like they have a lot of puffiness, and from time to time someone gets sick.

And how rare wine is now, it must be taken every once in a while, so that it can be addicted to the mouth, and it can also ensure that several people do not get sick.

But if you drink it, you drink it, as long as Daddy is okay.

"Did you bring me a cigarette?"

When Dad opened his backpack, the first thing he said was not to ask how many clothes he had brought, but whether he had brought him cigarettes.

While looking for it, he muttered: "Damn, I've been smoking grass leaves for more than 2 months, and my mouth is numb." ”

Yang Xiaole was speechless for a while, letting him rummage there.

6 bottles of canned braised pork, 1 packet of brown sugar, two cigarettes, and the rest are some daily necessities, soap, wind oil, flower water, and some summer clothes to change and the like.

Now that there is still a ration, it can be said that bringing so many canned meat can be said in the past.

At most, it was saved at home.

It's just that brown sugar can't be said.

But he doesn't care, and no one will investigate him because of a packet of brown sugar, and it's not that he can't get a way.

Dad took out a cigarette, opened it directly, and lit one with the new firewood in his bag.

Then he took a comfortable puff of cigarette: "It's so comfortable!" ”
