The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

Zhu Xiaomin asked back: "You just let us accept it without explaining everything clearly. Aren't you just looking out for yourself?"

When Daniel wanted to say more, Lu Mingzheng interrupted: "Okay, if you want to solve the problem, let's go now." He opened the door and let him out, took a deep look at Zhu Xiaomin, and followed Xie Chengzhi and others into the wind and snow. .

Wu Xulin followed to the third brigade, and only Song Zhian was left as the leader of the first and second groups. He said to Chen Xudong: "Let's go to the base."

Chen Xudong nodded and immediately walked out.

Zhu Xiaomin chased her to the door and shouted: "The mountain road over there is not easy to walk on. You should be careful. If you go there, you don't have to rush back. We can wait until dawn tomorrow."

The group agreed and headed off in the wind and snow.

Watching those people disappear in the snow, Xing Qingsheng said to Gu Mancang: "Secretary, this is not because we ignore class friendship, but because we have hundreds of sheep and chickens in our own base, we cannot ignore the property safety of our team. "

Xia Dongliang sighed: "We are all brothers, so we should help if we can."

Zhu Xiaomin had no choice but to say: "Captain Xia, five of us have already followed. Whether we can help or not depends on our ability. We will take over their lambs before the situation is clear. In case of an epidemic, they still cannot save the lambs." Should we pay compensation? What’s more serious is that if our lambs are infected and the losses are caused, who will be responsible?”

Xia Dongliang frowned: "Isn't that true?"

Zhu Xiaomin sneered: "Captain Xia should go over and take a look. I heard that the livestock sheds of the third brigade are all dirty and messy. It would be strange if there is no problem."

Miao Shiwen also said: "Not to mention hygienic problems, even if there is no infrastructure construction, the lambs are still small, and they need to be more delicate. They are mixed in the cowshed, and it is difficult not to have problems."

Gu Mancang nodded and said, "Let's wait until Xie Zhiqing and the others come back."

Zhu Xiaomin looked at Xing Qingsheng and said, "There are people in the team here waiting for news. Let's go back first." After saying that, he turned around and walked out with Miao Shiwen.

Xing Qingsheng nodded, also greeted his team members, followed the two of them out, and returned to the educated youth point.

Xia Dongliang was stunned for a while, looked at Gu Mancang and said, "I wish the educated youth is getting more and more angry."

Gu Mancang smoked a dry cigarette and nodded after a while: "It's because we didn't think carefully. It's right to help the brother brigade, but really, as Zhu Zhiqing said, their lambs are infected with diseases. Let's take them over and give ours The sheep are also infected, which will only increase the losses at that time.”

Xia Dongliang was responsible for production. Thinking of the hundreds of lambs added to the base, he could only nod his head and stop talking.

Zhu Xiaomin and his party braved the snow and returned to the educated youth point. Xiang Zhikuan, who had been left behind, rushed out to greet them and asked about the situation.

Several people shook their heads speechlessly, and did not talk about the matter until they entered the room.

He Wenhua immediately went to get his coat: "If it is really an epidemic and we have to take precautions, I will go to the base as well."

Zhu Xiaomin stopped him, shook his head and said: "The wind and snow are too heavy, it's almost dark, and the road is too dangerous. Xudong and a group of people from Group 2 and Group 2 have gone over. Let's make some adjustments first. Even if we have to take over, it will be daytime tomorrow."

Xing Qingsheng also nodded: "Yes, if we drive the lambs here in such a heavy snowstorm, we will only suffer greater losses."

Everyone discussed for a while, and now they can only stay and wait for news. The male educated youths went to other houses to add fire to the house. Those who were about to leave came back. Zhu Xiaomin added fire to the new house, but came over to guard it with Miao Shiwen and three others. .

The wind and snow continued all night, and Lu Mingzheng and Xie Chengzhi did not come back.

In the morning, Miao Shiwen finally couldn't bear it anymore. He went out to see a few times and came back and said, "They didn't come back this night. Could something happen?"

From the first team to the third team, there are seven or eight miles in between.

Zhu Xiaomin was also a little worried, shook his head, and whispered: "There are more than a dozen of them, and even if something happens, it can't happen to all of them. Someone will always come back to report the news. If they haven't come back now, it should be because the matter with the Third Brigade has not been resolved. "

Wang Xiaoya lay on the bed, her neck tightly wrapped, and murmured in a low voice: "Comrade Zhao said before that the base of the third brigade was not good, but he still insisted on removing the lamb. Now it is fine, and it has only been raised for a few months." More than a dozen of them died, and Comrade Zhao would be heartbroken to death if he knew about it."

Miao Shiwen looked at her and couldn't help but laugh: "There's already fire in the stove, so it won't be so cold."

Wang Xiaoya shrank her neck, half of her head retracted, shook her head and refused to come out.

Zhu Xiaomin got up with her clothes on, grilled by the stove, put on her coat and went out, went back to her new house and lit the stove and the fire on the stove, then came back and said helplessly: "It's windy outside again, let's make mutton soup." , they will be warmer when they come back and drink.”

Miao Shiwen agreed, and also put on a coat and went out to get ingredients with her.

Zhang Qiaomei had already folded the bedding for the three of them, pushed Wang Xiaoya and smiled: "Get up quickly. The male educated youth will come in to drink mutton soup in a while. Are you still asleep?"

Wang Xiaoya wailed, and had no choice but to sit up wrapped in a quilt, pull her clothes from under the quilt, put it on under the quilt, and still inhaled coldly.

After getting up and packing up, Zhu Xiaomin and Miao Shiwen had already boiled the lamb bones, and the two of them worked together to handle other ingredients.

When the water started to boil, the male educated youths also got up one after another. They came over to make mutton soup. Some of them came in to help, while others took baskets and went to the back to get firewood.

The mutton soup gradually gave off a rich aroma. Everyone took turns, adding noodles and several side dishes, each eating some, adding water and continuing to simmer.

It wasn't until almost noon that Lu Mingzheng and Xie Chengzhi came back despite the wind and snow. When they entered the door, they saw that the outside of their hats and scarves had been frozen hard, and they were all like an ice lump.

We didn't bother to ask any more questions, so we first helped a few people to take off their hats and scarves, took off their coats and warmed them over the fire, then quickly added the noodles and garnishes and boiled them into the mutton soup.

Xie Chengzhi sat by the stove and rubbed his hands, finally regaining his composure, and sighed: "Even after this happened, the people in the third brigade still refused to organize manpower to do rescue work. If it were a few days later, not a single one of those sheep would be saved. .”

Zhu Xiaomin was surprised: "Is it really an epidemic?"

Lu Mingzheng shook his head: "We can't be sure, but those sheep all had similar symptoms. We couldn't rule it out, so we refused to accept them."

Zhu Xiaomin asked: "Where is their veterinarian? I'm not sure?"

Xie Chengzhi sighed: "I don't know what happened. The veterinarian was beaten. He had a high fever when we went there and almost died."

"What now?" Zhu Xiaomin asked.

"Early this morning, we sent him to the town health center, where he was given a bottle of water and his fever subsided a little. But he had to lose weight for three days in a row and it was difficult to send him back, so we had to stay with a fellow villager and ask someone to take care of him." Lu Mingzheng shook his head helplessly. .
