Li Xiangyang has only been working for more than a year, and he is not very clear about the direction and geographical location, Li Xiangyang used the company's phone to report to Uncle Xu, asking to go to the Gobi Desert to find Maimaiti Yiming, and Uncle Xu called to explain that if he had to find Maimai Tiyiming, then let Zhu Zeyu accompany him, so as not to go in the wrong direction.

Li Xiangyang swore to Uncle Xu, "If I can't find Maimaiti Yiming, I won't come back." ”

According to the plan given by the company that Maimaiti Yiming might leave with the sheep, Li Xiangyang and Zhu Zeyu prepared dry food and water and set off, and went out to find the company's cadres and some farmers.

Everyone said that if you don't go to Xinjiang, you don't know how big China is, and just after entering the Gobi Desert, Li Xiangyang feels that the place is amazingly big. Along the way, there are endless Gobi deserts and deserts, red willows and poplars, one day, experienced a storm, experienced the scorching sun, from noon, walked for an afternoon, you can still see the distant company houses, trees and landmark buildings. Walking into the desert, there is an endless expanse in front of you, and when you enter the poplar forest, the field of vision is not so wide.

Li Xiangyang's mouth was dry, and he was so thirsty that he couldn't bear it, so he gurgled and drank a few sips of water. For a long time, he found that Zhu Zeyu only took a small sip of water every time he drank.

Looking for the footsteps and dung of the sheep, Li Xiangyang and Zhu Zeyu walked in the desert for a whole day, and finally saw a flock of sheep in the sand dunes in the distance. The other party was a Uyghur young man, not very old, less than eighteen years old, he took out the paper and pen in his backpack and asked, "Where are you?" ”

The Uyghur guy said several words with words and bodies, but Li Xiangyang didn't understand a word, and the guy pointed to the thatched house in the distance, he understood a little, the guy might live there.

"Don't ask, let's go, his company is not under our control." Zhu Zeyu explained.

"Can you understand Uyghur?" Li Xiangyang asked in surprise.

"Of course." Zhu Zeyu's face was full of confidence, "I have been working for almost 15 years, and I have to deal with these people all year round, and I can basically understand Uyghur language." ”

"Oh, that's good." Li Xiangyang said, "We can't ignore this matter, we have to let him drive the sheep back to deal with it, or report to Uncle Xu, and let the person in charge of the company get the sheep back." ”

"What to deal with, the sheep have been raised here, and they have not been in contact with sick sheep, and besides, we have all come out so far, why do you report to Uncle Xu? Stop meddling and let's go. Zhu Zeyu reluctantly pulled Li Xiangyang, and left by himself, he still wanted to ask clearly, Zhu Zeyu had already gone away, so he had to follow.

When it was almost dark, he entered an endless desert again, Li Xiangyang entered the desert for the first time, and the deep and shallow journey made him exhausted. Zhu Zeyu was already so tired that he was lying on the desert, and Li Xiangyang also sat down, took off the bag on his body, and simply walked his whole body on the desert. There was still temperature on the sand, and Li Xiangyang felt that his whole body was warm.

"Our college student, are you really going to find the sheep and not go back?" Zhu Zeyu asked.

"Or else?" Li Xiangyang took a breath, looked up at the blue sky and said, "Do you think this kind of thing is a joke, if this Maimaiti Yiming drives the sheep to no man's land, it will be a big sin if he rushes to a place where there are people and infects other sheep." ”

"Well, that's right." Zhu Zeyu agreed, "There are a lot of sheep grazing people in this Gobi Desert, we have encountered several waves, but we have not found them, I suggest, don't continue to go forward, now go back, maybe you will get home in the middle of the night." ”

"Nope." Li Xiangyang refused, "I promised Uncle Xu that I must find Maimaiti Yiming." ”

"I don't understand why you're so serious?" Zhu Zeyu sat up, "This matter is not your business alone, you have to take it on your head, and everyone will go back." ”

"If you want to go back, you can go back." Li Xiangyang said and picked up his backpack, "I won't stop you." The sand brought up on the backpack sprinkled Zhu Zeyu's face.

"There are jackals, tigers and leopards in the Gobi Desert at night, aren't you afraid of death?" Zhu Zeyu got up and shouted.

Li Xiangyang didn't go back, he thought that Zhu Zeyu would follow, and when he climbed a desert slope, he looked back at Zhu Zeyu, and there was not even a scumbag in the wide desert area.

"What a deserter." Li Xiangyang cursed, he continued to walk forward, came to a place with a tree and stopped, he leaned against a tree and sat down, took out the naan and water in his backpack and began to eat and drink, the sky was completely dark, it was already dark in front of him, he said to himself, "Even if the jackals, tigers and leopards are coming, I am not afraid." There was no sound in the distance, and only the whirring wind was heard in his ears, which accompanied him until he fell asleep in the middle of the night.

Li Xiangyang slept until dawn, and when he woke up, his whole body was lying on the desert, his backpack was far away from him, he got up and looked around, but he still didn't see Zhu Zeyu, "Hell, you really threw me down, good." ”

Li Xiangyang didn't seem to be able to discern the sense of direction, the desert was everywhere, and there was not even a landmark building. There was not much water left in the cup, and he decided to keep walking, and he had to find a place with water. I don't know how far I've walked, I don't know how long I've walked, it's all desert in front of me, the scorching sun and the wind overhead, and if I go on, Li Xiangyang doesn't know where to go, "It's really okay, Zhu Zeyu, you are not authentic, wait, I will definitely take revenge for this revenge." ”

Li Xiangyang, who had no sense of direction, was completely lost, and he didn't dare to go any further, he had to return, but there was no direction reference, and when it got dark, there was only dry naan left. On the third day, Li Xiangyang didn't know where he was going, he was hungry, thirsty and tired, his lips were chapped and peeled, he slept several times in the desert where there were trees and shades, and when he woke up, he found that sheep appeared far away. Li Xiangyang thought that there was an illusion, and got up to distinguish carefully, yes, it was a sheep, or a flock of sheep. He picked up his backpack and began to run in the direction of the sheep, and when he got closer, he saw that it was Maimaitiyimin.

When Maimaiti Yiming saw Li Xiangyang, he ran away from afar, his hunger and hunger were gone, and he used all his strength to catch up with Maimaiti Yiming.

"You're still running?" Li Xiangyang grabbed Maimaiti Yiming, "Where can you run?" ”

Maimaitiyimin sat on the desert and cried, "In three days, sixteen sheep died. ”

Later, Maimaiti Yiming drove the sheep and took him two kilometers away, where there was water, grass, and fish in the water, they set up a fire, roasted several strings of fish, and rushed back when they were full of food and drink.

When he rushed back to the company, it was already midnight, and Li Xiangyang persuaded all the way to buy and buy Yiming, don't take the lead in stirring up trouble again, no matter what, when the epidemic appears, the sheep must be dealt with, and it is an inevitable fact to resist again. Maimaiti Yiming seemed to have been hit by a great blow, and he didn't say a word, only cared about driving sheep, and only walked with his head down.

As soon as he arrived at the company, everyone in the company came out to greet Li Xiangyang, it is said that the company dispatched everyone to look for him, so far, there are still many people who have not returned, Zhu Zeyu came back privately, ignoring his life, the political commissar of the regiment has asked Uncle Xu to stop his work, let him write at home for inspection.

What Li Xiangyang didn't expect was that Maimaiti Yiming rushed to the office radio room that night and said a long series of words in Uyghur, and everyone who slept in every household got up to listen carefully to what Maimaiti Yiming said.

After finishing speaking, Li Xiangyang was about to ask the company commander what Maimaiti Yiming had said, but the company commander's face turned into a flower, and he held Li Xiangyang's hand and thanked him, "Li Xiangyang, this time thanks to you for bringing Maimaiti Yiming back, otherwise our company would have been punished by the regiment." ”

"It's not." Li Xiangyang didn't react a little, "What is this Maimaiti Yiming shouting in the loudspeaker?" ”

He persuaded all the farmers to agree to the company's killing of sheep, and he said that he was the first to take the lead.

"That's a good thing." Li Xiangyang was surprised, "I told him all the way back on the way, but he didn't nod his head and agree." ”

"He said that he regretted not listening to you, and that nearly twenty sheep died in three days after driving the sheep out, and that he had caused a great burden on the company, and he also said sorry to you."

After the company commander finished speaking, Li Xiangyang's eyes were about to overflow with tears, he applauded excitedly, at noon the next day, all the farmers in the company drove their own sheep and went to the specified place to bury all the infected and infected sheep, the company and Li Xiangyang were praised by the regiment, Li Xiangyang's behavior was also used as a typical propaganda in the regiment, and Zhu Zeyu naturally became the villain of the propaganda.

When Li Xiangyang was announced as deputy station commander, there was a small wave in the whole regiment, Zhu Zeyu, who had participated in the work for more than ten years, was still a technician, and Li Xiangyang had only been working for three years, and he became the youngest deputy company-level cadre in the regiment. Even, Zhu Zeyu is still suspended, and it was not until the new political commissar of the regiment was replaced that Uncle Xu applied for his official reinstatement.

Li Xiangyang was promoted to deputy stationmaster, ushered in many envious eyes, and also ushered in many people who were not convinced, those cadres with very old qualifications could not be mixed with the deputy stationmaster for more than ten years. Take Uncle Xu as an example, he has been working for nearly 30 years, and it will only take two or three years to enjoy the treatment of deputy section level as a stationmaster. And Li Xiangyang has only been working for three years, and he has a position and treatment that others can't mix for more than ten years.

Li Xiangyang still feels some pressure for the job of deputy stationmaster, 80% of them are Uygurs, and the language barrier between Uyghurs and Han makes it quite difficult to communicate. Thinking of the language exchange between Zhu Zeyu and the Uyghur guy, he was envious, and he had an idea that he wanted to learn Uyghur.

So, Li Xiangyang bought two books on learning Uyghur from a bookstore, with explanations in Uyghur and Chinese on how to read Uyghur, which made him more comfortable learning. When he first started learning, he would only use "Hello" and "Did he eat?" "Where?" "How much is this thing", but in just three months, he has mastered how to communicate and communicate with the Uyghurs, and in one year, he has been able to talk to the Uyghurs, and he has learned the Uyghur language, and his work is much more handy.

Entering the leadership position, Li Xiangyang felt that not only learning Uyghur language could do a good job, but also learning to behave in the world, observe words and colors, and the key was not to stand in the wrong team. Uncle Xu is the stationmaster, and Yi Lin is the secretary. Uncle Xu and Yi Lin are not much different, they are both very old leaders, these two people are not in harmony with each other, and their hearts are not in harmony, they often blush and have thick necks for half a sentence, and you will pinch me and I will pinch you in meetings, and even the work for the platoon will be-for-tat.

"You have to report to the leader about the winter grass storage first, and then the unit will hold a meeting to arrange the work, I will need to prepare a lot of things at the animal husbandry site, and I don't have time to discuss the matter of saving winter grass."

One day, as soon as Li Xiangyang walked into the door of the office, he heard Lao Xu Shu and Yi Lin arguing. Li Xiangyang knew that Uncle Xu was responsible for animal husbandry and winter grass reserves, and Yi Lin was responsible for the on-site meeting of animal husbandry held by the higher-level departments, but in fact, these two tasks could not be delayed. In winter, all the companies have finished harvesting cotton, and the cotton poles need to be bundled to store winter grass for cattle and sheep, and each company is waiting for the next task. The higher-level department held an on-site observation meeting on animal husbandry, and the location was selected as the company in the regiment, which was held two days later, and the task was also urgent.

"Shall we have a meeting first and talk about how much winter grass we plan to stock up on this year? I don't have a little bit in my mind, how can I report to the leader? "Uncle Xu's mood is already wrong.

"That's your business, people will come two days after the on-site observation meeting, and there is still a lot of work to be arranged, what can I give to others to observe?" Yi Lin's voice was even more high-pitched.

Li Xiangyang was anxious, and entered the door to dissuade him, this was also the first time that he appeared when Uncle Xu and Yi Lin were arguing, "Secretary, stationmaster, don't earn it, you two take a step back, the two jobs are very important, and the meeting will be solved in half an hour, and the matter of arranging the on-site meeting will not be delayed." ”

"Let's open it." Yi Lin turned around and walked out of the office door, "Zhu Zeyu, Xiao Wang, let's go, let's go to the company." Xiao Wang didn't want to follow, but Yi Lin continued to shout, "Let's go, what are you waiting for?" Xiao Wang got up and left.

Old Uncle Xu shook his head angrily, and Li Xiangyang hurriedly persuaded, "Old Uncle Xu, don't worry, I'll call each company first to ask about the cotton planting area, so that we can roughly count how much winter grass these cotton poles can store." ”

"This Yi Lin, he just can't get along with me, and he can't carry out his work like this."

"You dissipate your anger, Uncle Xu, don't worry, I'll do this thing."

"The whole unit." Old Uncle Xu slapped Li Xiangyang on the back, and was even a little moved, "Just count you intimate." ”

Li Xiangyang smiled, "I'm a subordinate, I should be." ”

After the incident, Li Xiangyang called each company to inquire about the cotton planting area, but no one answered the phone in some units, and some units did not know the specific situation. He thought about it for a long time by the telephone, went directly to the office, found the leader of the agricultural section, and asked for a detailed list of the cotton planting area of each company, which was handed over to Uncle Xu.

Uncle Xu made a forage storage plan on the same day, and after communicating and consulting with the leaders, he made arrangements for each company. Yi Lin's on-site meeting went wrong, the strong wind blew over the propaganda page, and injured a staff member at the scene, so Yi Lin was criticized at the whole regiment meeting and made a profound inspection.

For a long time, Li Xiangyang found that these two people arranged a job for him, and it was also an open and secret fight, first Uncle Xu arranged a job for Li Xiangyang, saying that the sheep of the company's farmers had diarrhea, and asked him to bring the technician to see it quickly. As soon as he was about to ride down the company, Yi Lin shouted from afar, "Li Xiangyang, come on, don't leave yet." ”

"What's the matter, secretary." Li Xiangyang asked as he stood up on his bicycle.

Yi Lin walked over to him with a document, "Li Xiangyang, the superior has issued a document, asking us to solve the problems and rectification measures of animal husbandry in the whole regiment, you have to be more urgent, you are a college student, or a pen, you work overtime tonight, and give it to me tomorrow morning." Li Xiangyang was a little embarrassed, and Yi Lin said, "I know that you are going to vaccinate the sheep, and the vaccination is two days late, and the matter of this material has delayed the above." ”

Li Xiangyang frowned, let out a cold breath, and still took the document in Yi Lin's hand, "Secretary, I'll do my best." ”
