Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 582 Call Me Wang Beard

Boom~~~
The sky was gloomy, the thunder was rolling, and the rain was falling.
On the road in the southeast of Shanxi, a jeep was driving carefully on the winding mountain road. The road in this mountain nest is rugged, and sometimes it is not seen until it is close, so the driver is not driving fast.

In the car, there are two people sitting.

The person on the left sat upright, even in the bumps, his waist was straight. A pair of slender eyes looked to both sides of the road from time to time, and through the eyelids, there was a slight sadness.

Below the eyes, there is a straight nose bridge, and then there is an eye-catching beard.Maybe it's because it hasn't been taken care of for a long time. It looks a little messy, but it doesn't make people feel sloppy, but it is more heroic.

It's just that, in this boldness, there is three points of fatigue.

On the other side, a person with a briefcase in his arms and big glasses on his face was dangling asleep at the moment.

The rain from the sky was pattering down, the car was going around in the mountains, the wheels rubbed against the ground from time to time, making the roads shallow and hard.

"Xiao Wu, how long will it take to go out?"

The middle-aged man with a beard asked softly, as if he was afraid of waking up the sleeping person.

In front, the driver was driving the car seriously, and he didn't turn his head when he heard the question behind him, "Chief, this mountain road is halfway through."

"If the rain stops, we can go out in another three hours."

"We can arrive in Changzhi before dark."

After the driver Xiao Wu finished speaking, the middle-aged man nodded, "In this way, we can also catch up."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, the sleepy-eyed man stretched his body and sat up, "Sir, I can do it myself, you have to follow the boat and ride."

Rubbing his eyes as he spoke, he wrapped his briefcase tightly again.

"This is related to the planning of the farm. I have made it clear in person, so I can rest assured."

"Chief, in fact, we have already done a good job there. Go out and ask, whoever said that our reclamation army didn't give a thumbs up."

"For these years, what it was like before returning to Xinjiang, and what it looks like now, it's like heaven and earth. We've done a good enough job."

"You, you're just picky."

The person wearing the glasses said that he had no fear at all in front of this 'chief'.

But in fact, this chief really has no official airs. In the past, for production, he held a hoe like an ordinary soldier, and he insisted on creating a "plug in the south of the Yangtze River".

"You, I don't understand."

The chief watched the drizzle outside the window, "If we produce more food, Guo Jia will have less burden, and the people will have more to eat."

"We have a lot of people, but more land. If we use this land, we will hand in more grain."

"Yes~~"

scoff~~
The car suddenly slammed to the brakes, and the two of them slammed forward into the seat of the car with inertia, and then hit the seat again.

"Xiao Wu, how did you drive the car?"

The man with glasses took off the eyes that were tilted on his head, and shouted loudly.

"No, Secretary Qian, there are people ahead."

Xiao Wu said aggrievedly, only then did the two of them see three or five people standing in front of them.

Xiao Wu watched someone leaning forward, and clasped his hands around his waist.

Soon, the man came to the car, and Xiao Wu slid down the glass.

The visitor was wearing a coir raincoat, with a wrinkled face, a typical northwestern man.

"Comrade, you're pulling the road ahead." He said, pointing to the corner of the road ahead.

Several people had stayed here before, and after understanding what the other party said, Xiao Wu hurriedly got out of the car and asked what was going on.

After asking next to the car, Xiao Wu ran out to look at it for a while, and then ran back into the car.

"Chief, secretary, the landslide ahead has blocked the road."

"Villagers from the surrounding villages are clearing the road."

"When will it be cleaned up?"

Secretary Qian asked, Xiao Wu shook his head.

The chief took out a raincoat from behind and was about to get out of the car.

"Chief!"

"I'll go ahead and see if I can help."

Said that he was already standing in the muddy water, put on his raincoat and went out.

Secretary Qian had no choice but to follow next time.

It's just that the file bag in his hand is still held in his arms, wrapped in a poncho, for fear of being wet by the rain.

When the three came to the front, a group of people were clearing the stones and soil on the road with shovels and hoes.

The chief stood aside and watched half of the hill collapse. Fortunately, the hill is not high. As long as the soil is thrown down the hill, there will not be much soil on it, and it will not pose a danger.

Everyone was busy working, but did not notice the arrival of the three of them.

The chief looked at an old man wearing a mandarin jacket, no raincoat, just a bamboo hat, his dark skin was exposed to the rain.

The chief stepped forward, took off his raincoat and gave it to the old man, but the old man waved his hands away, "Tweezer, what's the matter?"

"Old man, I'm here to help."

"Ah, oh."

The old man was a little deaf and couldn't hear accurately. At this time, a middle-aged man walked over with a sledgehammer in his hand.

"Hello comrade, I am the village head of Zhaojia Village. Zhao Yong."

"Hello, Comrade Zhao. We have to hurry, so come and have a look."

Zhao Yong saw the three people wearing military uniforms and the small jeep not far away, and knew that they should be the leaders passing by, so he quickly explained, "There are often slopes on this road, especially when it rains. Fortunately, no one was injured. People, it’s just that this road is an important thoroughfare for tens of miles in and out, if it is blocked, it will hinder traffic.”

"After we found out, we organized people to help and quickly cleared the road."

"Okay, as long as you are busy, if there is anything, we will come together."

The chief had a kind attitude. After speaking, he walked to the side, picked up an idle shovel, and walked towards the crowd.

It seems that this kind of behavior has been deeply rooted, and there is no awareness of being superior to others.

Soon, with the efforts of all the people, the mud blocking the road was cleared away, and the mud wet by the rain was thrown down the mountain.

However, everyone did not relax because there was a large stone lying in the middle of the road, which occupied almost two-thirds of the road. It was not small in size and heavy in weight.

琤琤
The shovel made a crisp sound as it struck the stone, and the chief's beard shook twice.

This rock is very hard.

Normally, just make a hole, install explosives, and it will be done with one shot.

But today's weather, not to mention explosives, even if they are put in, they will be damp and misfired.

"Chief, look, this stone is embedded in the ground, and it has to be pulled out before it can be pushed down the mountain."

Xiao Wu said, pointing to the ground below.

The chief thought it was feasible, so he called the village chief, Zhao Yong, and expressed his opinion.

Zhao Yong looked at the stone, then at the three of them, and then asked, "This comrade, what's your name?"

Xiao Wu was about to speak, but the chief reached out to stop him.

"I am the one who grows crops, you can call me Wang Huzi."

"I dare not, you are modest."

"I'll call you Comrade Wang."

Zhao Yong has the foresight to be the village chief, especially the small jeep, which ordinary people can't afford, even the town secretary doesn't have one.

"Okay, what do you think, Village Chief Zhao?"

"Okay, I'll go find someone to find the rope."

After a while, Zhao Yong gathered dozens of laborers in the village, and asked someone to turn the rope around the stone. The remaining three or five people held wooden sticks. Insert it, and pry the stone away so it can roll down.

"Come on, let's go together."

Wang Huzi reached out and grabbed the rope, and then everyone began to exert force.

"Pull~~"

"Hey~"

There was a sound, and the rope was pulled straight.

"pull!"

"Hey~"

After shouting several times in a row, the stone didn't move at all, but everyone's tired arms were sore, they let go of the rope and rubbed their palms.

Several people stood in front of the stone, a little helpless.

The stone is too heavy.

"Comrade Wang, why don't I find some more people."

"Village Chief Zhao, look at the terrain. The rock is on a protruding part of the road, and the space on both sides is limited. Even if more people come, they won't be able to use it."

Wang Huzi pointed to the surroundings and said, in the past, this kind of terrain was the most suitable for ambushes. If the road is blocked, let alone the enemy rush over, it is God's blessing to escape.

"Comrade Wang, what do you say?"

Wang Huzi pointed back, "Use it."

Xiao Wu immediately understood what the chief meant, and explained to the doubtful eyes of the people around him, "This car is a Yangtze River jeep produced in China. Pulling this stone is a trivial matter."

Xiao Wu wanted to say more, but was glared at by Wang Huzi, and hurried over to drive.

The black clouds above the head began to drift southward, and the rain on the head gradually stopped.

The jeep stopped in front of the rock, and Xiao Wu had good driving skills. He successfully turned around on this mountain road and tied the rope to the base of the car.

"Done yet?"

Xiao Wu stretched out his head and looked behind. Secretary Qian waved vigorously while holding the briefcase, "Okay."

Afterwards, Xiao Wu put the gear in gear and accelerated the gas pedal. In one go, the jeep moved forward for three to five meters, and then felt the car jolt, and it dragged on the spot abruptly.

呲味味

The tires kept rubbing against the ground, and soon four pits were dug out, and the muddy water was even scattered all around.

"Stop, stop."

Secretary Qian ran over and knocked on the doors and windows. Xiao Wu hurriedly shifted gears and eased off the accelerator, and finally turned off the engine and stopped.

Xiao Wu got out of the car and looked at the dirt pit under the tire, and then saw that the stone was still, and couldn't help feeling ashamed on his face.

How full of words just now, how slapped in the face now.

"Chief!"

Wang Huzi didn't care, looking at the big rock in front of him, feeling a little helpless.

Look at the sky, I have been delayed here for almost an hour, and if I can't solve it, I can only smear and hurry.

On the other side, Zhao Yong also had some headaches, who would have thought that such a thing would be cut out this time.

If it is not done as soon as possible and the traffic is delayed, the superior will definitely blame it.

Just as he was thinking of a way, a person came over and whispered his opinion.

"What, what?"

"It's not a big deal!"

Zhao Yong didn't believe it.

"Will it work? Try it. Besides, two cars are better than one."

Someone spoke again, and Zhao Yong nodded.

"Go back and get the car!"

After finishing speaking, he ran back in a hurry.

Here Wang Huzi and the three were still discussing countermeasures, but they didn't stop Zhao Yong from running back.

Xiao Wu also wanted to find some stones to put a pad under the wheel, so as to increase the pulling force.

Da da da

While the three of them were discussing a solution, there was a strange noise from the road not far away.

Wang Huzi felt that the sound was a bit familiar, a bit like those tractors on the farm.

Then he got up and looked, and saw a tractor coming from the opposite side.

It's just that this tractor is bigger than the ones I saw on my farm, with a bigger front and a bigger body.

"Where did this tractor come from?"

Xiao Wu also saw the approaching tractor.

As a driver, on the farm, as long as he can run, he has done it.

Those small tractors and so on have long been familiar with it.

Although this tractor looks not small at the moment, Xiao Wu really didn't notice it.

As far as those he has driven, some of them are not as good as a carriage.

"never seen it!"

Secretary Qian also came to watch. He came this time to report the situation to the higher authorities.

According to the meaning of the person next to me, do more mechanization and increase productivity.

But as far as those domestic factories are concerned, the machines produced are really not flattering.

Even the captain in charge of the factory below said that no machine is needed, just a mule and horse.

"Look at it."

When Wang Huzi stepped forward, he saw the tractor rattling to the side of the stone.

"Village Chief Zhao, are you a tractor?"

Wang Huzi asked, Zhao Yong nodded quickly, and cleaned up the dirt on the front wheels of the tractor by the way.

"Yes, this is the town tractor."

"In town?"

"That, our village borrowed it for use."

Zhao Yong said this in embarrassment, but in fact, it was the uncle in the town who didn't like this tractor, so he asked him to come over and try it out.

Others don't know about this, they just think it's the preferential treatment given to them by the town.

The three of Wang Huzi looked around the tractor, and Secretary Qian looked at the body of the tractor, "This tractor is not small, this bucket can hold a lot of things, can it run?"

"I see enough, the front of this car is bigger, but it looks a bit weird."

Xiao Wu also said, at this time Wang Huzi went to the cart and looked at it. There was a bag of coal in it, and asked, "Why is it still filled with coal?"

Hearing what they said about his car, Zhao Yong immediately became unhappy.
