It was sunny for several days before the New Year.
So the villagers of Wulian and Chunyang Village took advantage of the sunshine to clear the snow off the roofs.
There were huge piles of snow next to every house.
Villagers and educated youth were struggling to throw snow into the burning house.
The fire broke out in the largest group of connected buildings in the village.
That was the team headquarters, warehouse, old canteen and several households.
When the educated youth from the fifth company arrived, a fire tornado had already formed above the entire building.
The wind is so strong tonight!
The fifth company commander immediately ordered Cao Dagang to demolish the houses of several nearby households.
Otherwise the whole village will be in trouble.
Everyone gave up trying to save the building and started talking about the fire.
But two people felt a strong sense of unease in their hearts.
It was Zhang Hongcheng, who was familiar with the plot, and Chu Miaohong, who was reborn.
Because this fire does not exist at all, whether in the book or in Chu Miaohong's memory after rebirth!
The fire was extinguished around 10 p.m.
Cao Dagang, with a grim face, left a few villagers to guard the scene and arranged for the three households whose houses were burned to stay temporarily in other people's homes.
After watching the educated youth from the fifth company leave one after another, the rest of the villagers and educated youth returned home exhausted.
Chu Miaohong and Fang Chunmiao had just returned to their little house when suddenly Chu Miaohong grabbed Fang Chunmiao's hand tightly.
Her intuition revealed that the room, which had not yet been lit with the oil lamp, was already in chaos!
Someone broke into their home while they were fighting the fire.
Chu Miaohong didn't dare to take the risk, and hurriedly grabbed the confused Fang Chunmiao and quickly retreated out of the house.
A few minutes later, Wu Jianlei and several male educated youth heard the news and rushed in with wooden sticks.
Unfortunately, the person who broke into Chu Miaohong and Fang Chunmiao's house had already run away.
Chu Miaohong and Fang Chunmiao counted the things in the house and found that only Fang Chunmiao's one pound and three ounces of food coupons were missing.
Fang Chunmiao was so angry that she started cursing.
The educated youth who arrived shared a common hatred for the enemy, but unfortunately no one from Cao Dagang's side came.
This shows that the village doesn’t want to deal with such “small matters” at all.
Anyway, they are either educated youth or villagers who are looking for bargains...
After counting the items, Chu Miaohong remained calm because a huge wave of emotions was surging in her heart.
There was actually one thing missing, the paper packet of cold medicine she had prepared for Fang Chunmiao.
The other medicines were easy to explain, but the two fever-reducing pills in the paper bag would be a huge flaw if seen by an expert.
It was the Carbaspirin Calcium tablets she had found in the medicine cabinet in the surgical preparation area.
It is a derivative of aspirin, used to reduce fever and relieve pain, but this drug was invented by the Dutch two years later.
Chu Miaohong clenched her palms tightly.
He turned the house into this mess, and just stole some food coupons and a few pills?
Her inner anxiety was rapidly growing.
Dozens of miles away from Chunyang Village, two shadows were walking in the snow behind a faint flashlight.
One of them was cursing and kicking the other one.
"I told you to light a fire to lure them out, but you ended up burning down the brigade headquarters!"
"Brother De, I didn't expect the wind to be so strong today. It turned half the sky red in a short while."
"By the way, De Ge, did you get what you were looking for?"
"Haha, no rush. I need to find someone to take a look at the things in my hand first. But I see that the regulations for this thing are obviously not domestic. This way is likely to exist."
Heavy snow fell again on the morning of the first day of the new year.
People stayed up until the 16th day of the first lunar month before they could see the sun.
The fifth company raised several pigs, one of which was fat and plump.
I don't know where this custom came from, but the company originally planned to send it to see Lao Ma on New Year's Eve.
But the water was boiling and the pigs were tied up, but a fire broke out in Chunyang Village.
It was not until the snow cleared up that the male educated youth from the fifth company managed to drag the pig out of the pigsty.
The fat pig screamed in pain.
He broke free from the rope and knocked down six or seven educated youths in a row.
Zhang Hongcheng thought quickly and grabbed the chili powder that Bao Zhihui had made and rubbed it on the pig's nose.
The pig screamed and turned around in the crowd for a few times, and finally jumped into the big pot that had not yet been lit and drank water desperately.
The pig finally survived by its own strength - the company's big pot was leaking and needed to be repaired.
On the 17th day of the first lunar month, several educated youth from the fifth company went to the company headquarters to ask for leave, and called their friends to prepare to go to the branch field headquarters the next day.
The exam set by Captain Cao will be held tomorrow.
There were many people in the camp who were interested in the two clerk vacancies.
Zhang Hongcheng did not take the exam, but he still asked for leave, and even asked for one more day.
He planned to go to Jixi to visit his old platoon leader Wang Guoqing.
As a result, he was the only one in the company whose leave was not approved.
The instructor calculated his duty - to visit Comrade Wang Guoqing on behalf of the entire company and to wish him a happy new year.
As soon as the educated youth in the third platoon heard that Zhang Hongcheng was going to visit the old platoon leader, they rushed into the pigpen at night and dragged out the fat pig that had lived for a few more days.
The company commander used tongs to burn one of the pig legs and remove the hair, then froze the whole pig leg in the snow for half the night. When he took it out, it was hard and just right for Zhang Hongcheng to carry on the road.
Because it was a business trip, this time it was the little boy who drove the carriage to take Zhang Hongcheng all the way to the field office.
The two of them were almost frozen to the same size as pig legs.
There is only one shuttle bus from the site to Hulin a day, and it only stops at the site for ten minutes. Zhang Hongcheng was lucky today and just caught it.
It was already past one in the afternoon when the shuttle bus arrived at Hulin Railway Station.
