Five, the battlefield

On the reservoir construction site, red flags were flying happily, like clusters of flames flying into the sky. The entire construction site was in full swing, and the water control army started war on the old river beach.

The old river beach also seemed to test the enthusiasm and determination of the army to control the water. A thick frozen layer was frozen on the river beach, mixed with reed roots and thatched roots like spider webs. The entire river beach was like cement boards made of steel bars and cement. The young men swung the iron picks and hit them and showed only a white dot. Two picks and hit them and made them white seals. The three picks were just pits the size of eggs. Now, the impatient Wang Mingkun was so anxious that he could dig them out.

The temper of a reservoir was no longer available. He swung the pick into a ball of flowers, and he heard a ping-pong sound, but the ice chips were still flying and the soil was still not open. Suddenly, a "click" sound was broken, and Wang Mingkun's tiger's mouth was broken, leaving blood on the half pick handle, which made him so angry that he threw the half pick away. He squatted to the ground, and his nostrils were whispering heavily, as if white smoke was emitted from the locomotive.

This scene scared Li Xiaobao. He held a pickaxe in his hand and beat it one after another. Seeing that his posture didn't seem to be digging soil, it seemed like he was beating a small drum lazily. After beating for a long time, he didn't even dig out a Saturn star. After not working for a while, he put down the pickaxe and wanted to leave. Li Yongqing, who was working for him, looked at him like this and was full of anger: "Hey, what are you doing?"

Li Xiaobao said indifferently: "Go to the thatched cottage."

"There are many problems when I put on plaster all over my body."

Li Xiaobao tilted his head and said, "I said to Li Yongqing, do you care about heaven, earth, and people shit and fart?"

Wang Daming said: "You have gone to the cottage twice after working! The lazy cows have a lot of shit and urine. I think you are not here to work, but here to make a living."

Li Xiaobao smiled and said, "This big project can't be completed in a day or two. I don't care about how much I do it." As he said that, he put his hands in his sleeves and squatted on the ground like a chicken with his neck shrinking.

Li Yongqing became popular and said, "Everyone misses you like a bear. How can the project be completed in the year of a monkey and horse in the month?"

"When will you finish and when will it be your business? Why bother to come here to suffer in the middle of winter?"

Everyone has long been disgusted with Li Xiaobao's shameless appearance, so you attacked him with one word:

"If you want to do it, do it. If you don't want to do it, just push the dung balls. Get out! Without your material, the reservoir can still be built!"

"Xiaobao, you are so upset. I will blush for you if you say such words!"

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

"The three forks with thick faces can't be pounded!"

When Li Xiaobao saw everyone coming to him, he felt a little scared, but his mouth was still not showing weakness, saying, "Don't eat fish and don't spit bones and speak with thorns! My white neck is not as good as your members' thoughts. If you don't like me, stay away from me. If you look east and west, we will not overturn the river!"

"You're wrong and you won't let others say it?"

"Where do you all drink river water? The control is so wide!"

"I have to care for people like you!"

"Don't buzz the flies on the horse's butt."

"Who is a fly? Why are you scolding people?"

"I didn't come here to get angry!" Li Xiaobao said nothing and was about to leave after saying that.

"What are you going to do? It's simply unorganized and undisciplined. If you are wrong, what's wrong with you?"

When Li Xiaobao saw Wang Mingkun getting angry, he couldn't help but be stunned. He knew Wang Mingkun's powerful strength, and he had to suffer even if he hit him for a few moments. Seeing Wang Mingkun staring at him with wide eyes, he had to fuck him with his head hanging down, but he was still muttering in a low voice.

Wang Mingkun scolded him angrily and said, "Do you look like a worker? How thick are you? You haven't lost enough at home yet. You're here again and you're embarrassed to push your butt and push your grinding barely! If you don't work hard and settle the score with you after you finish your work!"

Wang Mingkun's words were originally a scary word, but Li Xiaobao took it seriously. He said dissatisfiedly: "I'm still here. Some people are shouting loudly, and they can only teach others, but when it gets cold, they run to the kitchen to roast the fire. Why don't you say it? Eating persimmons only find soft pinches, which will only bully me, a pawn."

Wang Mingkun heard Xiaobao's words of stirring soup with water and piercing his ears, and he was even more angry and asked: "Don't let the crazy man talk nonsense. Who did you see in the kitchen to burn the fire?"

Li Xiaobao sneered and said, "Anyone who lacks eyes can see it, 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 have grabbed the spoon and said proudly: "Did you see it? Let everyone get frost here and get oiled when they are afraid of cooling, so they can slip away. I can't do it any slower, what's the reason?"

After hearing this, Wang Mingkun's eyes widened even more and shouted: "You are talking nonsense and slandering people!"

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

"What did you see? Since we came here, Minqiang has been busy with this. He has put his heart on the construction site and built a shed to carry wood. He was alone and he was working on two people. His feet were broken and he was unwilling to rest. Today, he got up before dawn. He just carried a lot of soil and shoulder poles. But you, working as a tail all day is not enough, and digging soil is like tickling the ground. People are sweating all over their heads, and you are trembling like a squibble in your thick cotton jacket. Do you look like a migrant worker?" Wang Mingkun was speaking with confidence. When he looked up and saw someone coming, his eyes lit up and said loudly: "Li Xiaobao! Look up and see who that is?"

Li Xiaobao looked up and was stunned. Li Minqiang came to everyone with a big rock tamp on his shoulder. A string of shiny sweat beads rolled on his red face, and the heat was steaming on his head, looking at the platoon leader emitting heat all over his body. Who would believe that it was the winter when water was dripping into ice. Li Xiaobao poked there like a wooden stake. He was asking himself: Why did he do this?

Since Li Xiaobao arrived at the construction site, he was like a water tank falling from the twelfth lunar month, and it was half cold. He lived in a ventilated hut, and he didn't eat rice, white flour and big fish and meat that Wang Wensi said. He has been here for several days, not to mention watching movies, and there is not even a TV. Who knows that when going out for La Qi and La Ba, the wind in this big winter is as fast as a knife and as sharp as a needle. Who can stand the work facing the screaming northwest wind? It's strange that he is afraid of the cold wind and drilling into his neck, the harder the more he is afraid of the tiredness. He can't dig a pit big with a bowl after a long time. He resented Wang Wensi, but he said in his heart: "Hmph, you say this more beautiful than heaven, but I'm enough here for a few days." He regretted not just listening to other people's instigation. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to follow the way Wang Wensi pointed to him. Look.

As Li Minqiang acted, he would do something when I was there, and I would take a break when he left. He just found out that Li Minqiang put down his pickaxe and entered the shed, and felt happy. He thought to himself: Li Minqiang really couldn't stand it and went to rest in the shed. But he was about to leave, but after a while, Li Minqiang came out of the shed with a pair of large earth baskets, and he felt cold. He saw Minqiang going to the kitchen again, and he felt happy again. He stared at Li Minqiang tightly, staring at Li Minqiang for a long time but didn't see it, so he ran to the cottage. He stayed in the cottage for a long time and saw that Li Minqiang had not yet worked on the construction site, so he felt more at ease. When he returned to the construction site, he said he was working, and it would be better to say that he was playing. He didn't expect that when he was squatting in the cottage, Li Minqiang said a few words to the cook and went to the village to borrow stone ramming.

Li Minqiang threw the stone rammed on the ground and smashed a big hole.

Wang Mingkun quickly took down the towel around his neck and handed it to Li Minqiang. Li Minqiang smiled and wiped his head full of sweat.

Xiao Minghui came over and asked in confusion: "Brother Minqiang, why are you carrying this thing?"

Wang Mingkun had already understood Li Minqiang's intention and said, "What are you doing? Look!" As he said that, he picked up the stone and smashed it to the ground with a "bang". "Do you understand? Smash the frozen layer!" Everyone smiled happily. Wang Mingkun asked anxiously again, "Minqiang, tell me quickly what we do?"

Li Minqiang threw the towel into Mingkun's hand and called everyone to surround him. He squatted in front of a digging pit and made a gesture and said, "What if the army encounters a strong and strong enemy's defense? Just attacking from the front requires a great price to win the final victory. Therefore, we often try to penetrate the enemy and smash their internal organs. If the enemy in front loses its support, the enemy will lose its support. If we attack the frozen soil layer like this, the enemy will have to collapse. When we dig the frozen soil layer, we have to talk about some tactics. This frozen soil layer is so hard. We can only attack it from the front 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. Then we use this stone to ramm it for a moment. Even if it is iron armor, we can smash it."

When Xiao Minghui heard this method, he jumped high happily and said, "This method is good, then our progress will be faster."

Wang Mingkun glanced at Li Xiaobao's incompetent look, lowered his tone and said with a pointing voice: "Minqiang, aren't you cold?"

Li Minqiang smiled and said, "Link? Look at who is not sweating, look at what you are hot, you can steam buns."

Everyone was amused by Minqiang's words.

Wang Mingkun said angrily: "But some people are trembling in big thick cotton jackets." As he said that, his eyes glanced at Xiaobao again.

Li Minqiang heard something in Wang Mingkun's words, and saw Li Xiaobao shrinking his neck and not raising his head, and squatting on the side without opening his eyes. He understood it almost. Li Minqiang said word by word: "If you want to be cold, how can you not be cold when working on this river beach in the middle of winter? But let's think about the old Red Army seniors who climbed snow and crossed the grassland for our motherland today, and think about the soldiers who climbed ice and lying on snow and guarded the northern gate of our country. What is this difficulty now? For difficulties, we must show the hard spirit of the soldiers. In order to build our new countryside, we must work hard. In order to build our new countryside, we must work hard. The hard work is a hammer, and the difficulty is a stone. If the hammer knocks on the stone, the difficulty is bowed. Is it right?"

"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.

Li Minqiang's words were hot and ignited the fire in everyone's hearts. Wang Mingkun waved his hand and stood up like a tiger and said, "Yes! We just have to work hard! The frozen layer is hard, so let's give it a hammer to smash the steel plate and fight it head-on!"

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

Li Minqiang did not sit down, but his face was covered with sweat and said, "It's okay, everyone should work quickly."

"You're confused!" Wang Mingkun said as he pressed Li Minqiang to the ground. No matter how Li Minqiang stopped him, Wang Mingkun insisted on taking off Li Minqiang's shoes and asked everyone to see them clearly. When he took off the shoes, he was shocked: the shoes were full of bright red, and blood and socks were stuck together.

This is the thing. On the night when he arrived at the reservoir construction site, the entire construction site was brightly lit, and the army of repairing the reservoir was put into the battle to build a shed. Li Minqiang looked at the moving scene and wanted to use it alone. He was running towards the kitchen with wood. Something was pushed under his feet, which was a little painful. He thought it was something and didn't care about continuing to work. After the shed was finished, he felt that his feet were hurting very much. He hid in the shed and picked up his feet and saw that an iron nail was pierced into the heart of his feet. He held the nail hat and gritted his teeth and pulled it out. Blood immediately poured out, and sweat beads were soaked on his face. At this time, footsteps came from outside the shed. Minqiang had no time to put on his shoes, so he hurriedly covered his feet with his hat.

Chang Ziming came in from outside with a lamp on his back, and said while hanging the lamp on the pillars: "Minqiang, you are queuing very fast. I looked at the sheds in the row and were almost finished."

“There may be some problems with the kitchen.”

"It's already set up, where did I come from? It's a good match."

"Master, go and take a closer look at other sheds. There may be some inappropriate places."

"I won't watch it anymore. If you are in charge, you will be unable to do anything well. I smoked a cigarette and I didn't care about smoking for a whole day." As he said that, he came over to Minqiang.

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

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

"Nothing is wrong."

"No!" He said that, he picked up his hat and looked at it. He was shocked, his feet were still bleeding, "I'll call the doctor for you."

Li Minqiang held it and said, "Mayor, we have just entered the venue, the work has not started yet, and the task is still heavy. I just got a little bit of skin." As he endured the pain, he stood up on his shoes.

"Then you have to see a doctor!"

"I'll just go by myself. Mayor, you can't tell anyone about this, it won't affect everyone's emotions."

Chang Ziming was so moved that he didn't say anything, nodded and shook his head.

The next day, Li Minqiang got up before dawn and fought with everyone. But his feet were heavy and he endured the huge pain every time they took, but he still insisted on doing nothing, fearing that others would find it, so he endured the pain and went to the construction site as usual. He was working hard with everyone, and Dr. Fan came on a medical box with a medicine box, so he hurriedly hid in the shed. Because his clothes were filled with a full break order issued by Dr. Fan for him. He wanted to see him being "confined". Dr. Fan walked over and came out of the shed and carried the earthen frame to the construction site. Seeing that everyone was doing so hard, he opened his mind again and endured the pain and borrowed Shi Han.

Everyone was moved by Li Minqiang's strong perseverance. Xiao Minghui's bright big eyes were filled with tears, thinking to himself: I heard that Minqiang was risking his life to rescue the people who died in flood control and disaster relief. He was seriously injured and did not go to the battlefield and was awarded the second-class merit. Now he is fighting on the reservoir construction site regardless of his own pain. I often say that learning heroes, isn't heroes right in front of me? I have to do what Minqiang looks like. Only in this way can life be meaningful.

Wang Mingkun was about to go to see the doctor, but Minqiang grabbed him: "Don't go, the doctor has already seen it. Look, the medicine is all here." As he said that, he took out the medicine that the doctor prescribed for him from his pocket.

Wang Mingkun stomped his feet in a hurry and said, "This is not OK, you have to rest for a few days." As he said that, he was about to betray Minqiang. Everyone was also talking about it:

"I need to rest, stop doing it."

"If it's not done well, it will be troublesome."

...

Li Minqiang looked at everyone's concern, which reminded him of the night before leaving the army. The battalion commander said to him: "Minqiang, you are going to a new job. The new job is also a battlefield and needs to fight. As a revolutionary soldier trained by the army, no matter what position he is, we must carry forward the glorious tradition of our army, carry forward the revolutionary spirit of not being afraid of hardship and not being afraid of death, and make outstanding achievements to add glory to our army..." Since it is a battlefield and a battle, there will be bleeding. What is my little injury? He also thought of the migrant workers in front of him, the work in front of him is tense and difficult. But the hardship did not scare everyone, and the enthusiasm is still so

4. The more you are in this situation, the more you should care about everyone, do ideological work well, and strengthen everyone's enthusiasm. Thinking of this, a huge force supported him, he suddenly stood up from the ground and said excitedly: "Don't worry about me, what you care about is our project progress. In order to create a new China, we are not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, seriously injured and do not cry, and do not go down the line of fire. If I break a little bit, you will feel uncomfortable, so what can you do! We are also fighting now! The new China that our seniors fight with battle requires us to build with the spirit of fighting! The work we face is arduous, but it is also glorious!"

Seeing that everyone's faces were filled with joy, it emitted a red light. Only Wang Mingkun was still lowering his head and thinking silently. Li Minqiang said loudly: "Please pay attention to the comrades in Class 2 and Class 3! We are all gathered here, and now we have a rest. Can we ask the squad leader to sing a song for everyone?

Everyone suddenly became active: "Okay!" Then there was a burst of applause.

Wang Mingkun, who was bowing his head and thinking about Li Minqiang's words, was caught off guard by everyone, scratching his scalp and blushing, saying, "You are really good at teasing people. I can stuff steamed buns with my thick voice. How can I sing? Don't tease me. Let's invite Zhang Yiming, a young scholar from Class 3, to have a song."

Zhang Yiming waved his hand and said, "My song is so old that I am. Let our platoon leader give you a good song I learned in the army!"

"Okay! Let's give me one!" Another round of applause.

Li Minqiang's voice is not stronger than others, and he rarely sings and sings, but he feels that it is not just a matter of singing a song now, but he is using the singing to encourage everyone and boost his spirits. So he said: "My voice is like a broken gong, and it is not good to sing well. I'll start, can everyone sing together?"

"good!"

"You start."

Li Minqiang cleared his throat and started to start, and a majestic singing sounded on the construction site:

The Red Army is not afraid of the difficulties of expedition.

Thousands of waters and mountains are just a matter of time.

...

The singing became louder and louder, and the more powerful it became, everyone was warm in their hearts. Everyone forgot their fatigue, drove away the cold, was energetic, and was full of fighting spirit. The glorious images of the heroes were inspiring them, and they must overcome all difficulties and win the victory of the construction of the reservoir!
Chapter completed!
