Chapter 29 Entering the Mountain
Director Zhao Dajun looked at the new young man, spread his hands, and said:
"This is the situation in the field. I have repeatedly gone to the bureau before, but everyone was passing the buck. In the end, they just told us to hold on until the spring."
"Then I understand. Thank you Director Zhao for clearing my doubts."
Du Shaojie was a small man with little influence. He had done his best to say this.
He then got up and returned to the cafeteria.
Lunch was still radish and cabbage, which even he himself felt a little sick of.
Chen Jizhou and his friends participated in labor in the morning, organized study in the afternoon, and were free to move around after dinner.
Du Shaojie, holding a bottle of [Erguotou], strolled to their dormitory.
When he entered the room, he saw that Chen Jizhou and his friends' dormitory was not as good as his own. He at least had a single room, while they all had four-person rooms.
At this time, Chen Jizhou was playing chess with Zhai Yucheng, and there were many people watching the game.
"Checkmate!"
Zhai Yucheng was obviously better, and this move was a decisive move.
"Wait a minute, I just felt dizzy, so I'll take this step back first."
Chen Jizhou was not happy, and the two of them started arguing.
Everyone was used to it. One wanted to regret his move, and the other didn't. This kind of situation happened almost every day, and there was nothing strange about it.
At this time, Chen Jizhou looked up and saw Du Shaojie, and quickly reached out to mess up the chessboard, saying, "Xiao Du is here, I'll let you go, and we'll continue tomorrow."
Zhai Yucheng laughed and stood up.
"I didn't disturb your elegance, did I?"
Du Shaojie couldn't help but smile. Everyone has another side that is unknown to others. Isn't this a great experience?
He went up and greeted everyone. Although this was a trivial matter, if he didn't do it well, he would offend people for nothing. He would not make such a low-level mistake.
"Where is the elegance? It's just killing time. Xiao Du, I'm having a headache because of the noise from Lao Zhai. If you don't mind, accompany me for a walk."
Chen Jizhou looked at the people in the room, and then turned and walked out.
"Old Chen, where are you running to? I'm going too."
Zhai Yucheng followed closely behind, and Du Shaojie nodded to everyone and followed.
On the way, Chen Jizhou did not ask Du Shaojie why he was transferred to the farm. This kind of thing must be approved by Wu Mingde.
He only asked about his family situation. He was very pleased to hear that Du Shaojie had visited his home during the Chinese New Year.
Zhai Yucheng and Du Shaojie did not have much personal contact, and they were silent all the way. The reason why he followed was mainly because the house was too stuffy and he wanted to get some fresh air.
"Old Director, Chief Engineer Zhai, the cafeteria doesn't have much oil and water at all. I can't make something delicious for you. But I have some good things here. Are you interested?"
The three of them walked away unknowingly and came to the vicinity of the cowshed.
Du Shaojie took out the Erguotou in his arms and shook it in front of the two people.
"Erguotou? You're such a jerk. Old Chen didn't misjudge you. Let's go over there and have a couple of sips. My alcohol bug is coming out."
Zhai Yucheng was overjoyed. He used to like to drink a little every day. Although he wasn't a heavy drinker, it was a hobby after all.
Chen Jizhou could also drink a little, especially in this place on the farm. It was a real treat to have a couple of sips.
So the three of them sneaked to a sheltered place behind the cowshed. They didn't care if the ground was dirty or not. They moved a few stones to sit down and opened the bottle.
If there was no wine glass, they would drink from the bottle. The three of them took turns and no one cared to dislike anyone else.
Du Shaojie just nodded. Chen Jizhou and Zhai Yucheng drank half a bottle and then carefully put the bottle cap back on.
"Xiao Du, there are a few old friends who like this. I want to bring it back for them to try. You don't object, do you?"
Chen Jizhou and Zhai Yucheng sighed with satisfaction and planned to take the remaining half bottle back to share with their old friends.
Du Shaojie naturally had no objection. He sent the two back to the dormitory and turned away.
Time passed day by day.
The ice and snow melted completely, and spring returned to the earth.
The sand date trees on the banks of the Laolong River sprouted tender buds, and the mountains on the other side of the river were also infected with a faint green.
The spring sowing work has been completed, and the vegetables planted will mature in one or two months. During this period, the bureau allocated a batch of supplies to the farm, and the food finally improved a little.
"Master Du, my man and several people from the farm office went into the mountains to hunt yellow sheep. If we can kill them, we will have meat to eat."
Qin Xiaomei's man works in the farm office and is usually responsible for the security of the farm.
There are not only yellow sheep and hares in the mountains on the other side of the river, but also wolves. The pigs raised on the farm were once attacked by wolves, and in the end it was the people from the farm office who killed the wolf.
It is very dangerous to go into the mountains with bare hands, but the security personnel are not afraid because they carry weapons with them.
"That's great, I hope your man can return with a full load."
Du Shaojie also wanted to go into the mountains, but his duties did not allow it.
Every day, he doesn't care about anything except breakfast. He is indispensable for lunch and dinner, so he has no time to run to the mountains.
But to be honest, the meat of wild animals is generally rough, and it is really not as delicious as the meat of domestic animals.
"My man is very powerful. If you don't believe me, ask him."
Li Guixiang suddenly said something at the side, making Du Shaojie dare not answer.
Qin Xiaomei laughed and took a basin of potatoes to wash.
After dinner, the few people who went into the mountains had not returned. The sky gradually darkened, and the dark night fell. Many people could not sit still.
Zhao Dajun discussed with the people in the farm office and decided to organize the young and strong people in the farm to search in the mountains.
Du Shaojie was also a young and strong man, and he was also drafted. More than 30 young people held torches, crossed the river through a simple bridge five miles away, and then walked towards the mountains.
Qin Xiaomei was worried about her man and was also in the team.
The leader was Zhao Dajun, and Chen Jizhou and his group were not allowed to come, fearing that they would be in danger.
Du Shaojie was actually a little guilty. In addition to the torch and shovel handle in his hand, he also had a kitchen knife in his schoolbag.
"Master Du, don't be afraid. Follow your aunt and you will be fine. If the wolf cub dares to show up, I will knock it down with a stick, unless it encounters a wolf pack."
Northwest wolves and Northeast tigers are famous.
But in the eyes of Qin Xiaomei and her husband, the evil wolf is not really a big threat. Qin Xiaomei estimated that her man and companions should have encountered something else, not attacked by wild animals.
Facts have proved that Qin Xiaomei's judgment is quite accurate. The team walked in the mountains for more than an hour and met Chu Xiaowei and others.
Chu Xiaowei is Qin Xiaomei's husband. Du Shaojie found that the two were really a good match, one stronger than the other.
"Wow, we actually shot two yellow sheep. Chu Xiaowei, why did you stop halfway and can't lift it?"
Zhao Dajun walked closer and saw two yellow sheep.
The two sheep weighed about 50 kilograms in total. It should be no problem for the four of them to carry them back.
Chu Xiaowei pointed at his companions. One of them accidentally sprained his foot, otherwise they would have arrived home earlier.
"Let's go back."
Zhao Dajun arranged for someone to carry the injured, and then a group of people carried the yellow sheep back to the farm.
Happy New Year to my friends!
I wish you all a prosperous Year of the Dragon! All the best!
