fire rescue

Going to the village to check the work, Zheng Yi drove his own broken jeep.Bai Hewei sat on the co-pilot next to him, opened the window and smoked, even though there were two other people sitting in the back seat, Zheng Yi also had a sense of joy that he was just sharing the same room with Bai Hewei.In front of Bai Hewei, Zheng Yi didn't dare to bring up any topics. He was afraid that he would want to reminisce with Bai Hewei as soon as he opened his mouth, but Bai Hewei didn't show that he and him were old acquaintances in front of outsiders at all. , which made him very conflicted.

Bai Hewei didn't seem to intend to say anything to him. After smoking one, he lit another one, which shows that this person is also very addicted to smoking. "Do you still smoke?" Bai Hewei asked him.

Back then, Zheng Yi was hooked up by Bai Hewei to smoke, and he hasn't quit for so many years, and because he is busy with work, he is quite addicted to smoking.

Zheng Yi nodded, and Bai Hewei simply handed to Zheng Yi the cigarette he had just lit and had only taken two puffs of.

This is too ambiguous, what should I do if the two people behind me see it?He didn't pick it up, and he didn't pick it up, his face was burning red, even though the cigarette was emitting light smoke in Bai Hewei's hand.

"No?" Bai Hewei asked him.

"...Yes." Zheng Yi still didn't resist the temptation, and took the cigarette that still had the warmth of Bai Hewei's lips.

He took a sip, his heart seemed to be twisted by something, it was slightly sour, and there was a thrill of being hit by joy, the smoke surrounded him, warm and safe.He told himself to calm down, and don't let Bai Hewei see anything, otherwise he would lose too thoroughly, but his acting skills are too bad, and once his emotions are revealed, it is difficult to take them back.

Zheng Yi finished smoking the cigarette without saying a word, and the cigarette butt was extinguished in the ashtray in the car.

He took a peek at Bai Hewei's side face, and discovered a little secret that he hadn't discovered before. He saw a few white hairs caught between Bai Hewei's temples, and there were faint fine lines at the corners of his eyes. He was weathered.Zheng Yi knew that the more times he met, the more he could not avoid his unchanging feelings for Bai Hewei.Although he knew that the ring on Bai Hewei's left ring finger was meaningless, why would he return to Bai Hewei's side?

Thinking of this, Zheng Yi seemed to calm down a bit, and he withdrew his delusional thoughts, even though Bai Hewei's smell and smoke still lingered around him, as if casting a spell on him.

According to Bai Hewei, Zheng Yi drove the car to Luoshan Village, which is the farthest and most remote from the town government. This is a small village bordering Changchun Town and Dayu Township. There are more than 300 households in the village, with a permanent population of more than 800. People, it has more than 4000 mu of forest land. Since most young people go out to work, most of the people left in the village are old, weak, sick and disabled with no ability to work, and some are underage children. The economy in the village is not very good. , the standard of living is not high, and it has always been a big problem in Changchun Town. There are many mountains here, and the task of fire prevention is particularly heavy.

The village head of Luoshan Village is an old Beijing flat. It is said that it was built in the 60s of the last century. The outside is surrounded by a red brick wall to form a large courtyard. On the wall are fire prevention slogans and plans painted with white paint. Fertility slogan.If it weren't for the sign of Luoshan Village, Changchun Town, hanging outside, this place would be so inconspicuous as to be an ordinary farmhouse.Zheng Yi turned the car into the yard and parked it at the entrance of the village gate. Before they got out of the car, Zhang Xiaosheng, the village party secretary, hurried out to greet them. Chief, you are here. This is..." He looked at Bai Hewei and the people behind him.

Zheng Yi introduced: "Today, the leaders of the district came to inspect the fire prevention work, so I came to see you. This is Director Bai of the District Forest Police Station, this is the director of the Forest Defense Office, and this is Police Officer Li."

"Oh, hello, hello, come in and have a seat." While speaking, he moved the person into the room.

At 10:30, it was the time when the sun was more abundant in the early spring. The coldness of the morning had disappeared. In fact, it was very comfortable to stand outside. Bai Hewei had no time to miss the warmth brought by the sunshine, so he was attracted by the enthusiastic villager. The branch secretary pulled into the village office.

Bai Hewei looked around, and found that the wooden sofa in the middle of the office was probably the newest furniture here. Although the paint surface had been mottled, revealing the original yellow color of the wood, at least it could still sit people, not to mention the desks and chairs. Yes, some are missing a leg and are fixed with other wood, some have no drawers, just empty like that, and there are rolling cabinets, Bai Hewei guesses that they may be older than himself, with landscape paintings that were popular in the past pasted on them , the color has long since faded.The village party secretary Zhang Xiaosheng is an enthusiastic old man. Seeing the distinguished guests, he asked the eldest sister of the Women's Federation to wash some yellowed cups for Bai Hewei, Zheng Yi and the others to make some jasmine tea. The fragrance of tea, all this makes Bai Hewei travel back to the 80s of the last century.

Bai Hewei can be regarded as a pampered person. Even though he had come into contact with many village cadres during his time at the grassroots level, it was the first time for him to come to such a difficult place. He thought that the policies from above had covered every corner of the country, but Only here is missing.But the other people in the same group didn't seem to have such an experience, everything was natural, they drank tea and smoked leisurely, and didn't care about this barren place.

Zheng Yi is even more used to it. He introduced the fire prevention situation in Luoshan Village beside him. He said: "Although the conditions in Luoshan Village are a bit difficult, the people in charge of fire prevention are quite responsible, mainly those who stay in the village. People's awareness is better, because there are many mountains and trees here, everyone pays special attention to it, there is an unwritten rule in this village, young people come back to worship ancestors during the Qingming Festival, place some flowers and fruits, press a few pieces of paper money, and put them on the grave mats of their ancestors Soil is enough. Whoever wants to light a fire and emit a plume of smoke, the whole village will not forgive him."

"Yes, yes." Zhang Xiaosheng said with a smile on the side: "Our village has heavy responsibilities, but it is the most reassuring unit in the town. Although our village is full of old, weak, sick and disabled, the forest rangers we are looking for , Wandering on the mountain before dawn, very vigilant." Zhang Xiaosheng looked particularly optimistic, as if he was not stumped by the suffering in their village, or that there were too many lice and it didn't itch.

Bai Hewei said he was going to see the warehouse where the fire-extinguishing equipment was stored, and Zhang Xiaosheng took them to see it. There was a separate small warehouse in the yard, which was a special place for storing equipment.Zhang Xiaosheng opened the door and said: "Our village director and I each have a key, and the security director also has the key. Although the equipment is not particularly complete, it is not broken."

The light was turned on, and Bai Hewei saw that although the place was not big, the tools were neatly stacked. Three hand-held fire extinguishers were placed on the ground, an oil drum full of oil was next to the fire extinguishers, and brooms and shovels were piled up. By the wall, there are about ten of each in number.Just at this time, a few villagers came over to do business, Zhang Xiaosheng greeted them, leaving Bai Hewei and Zheng Yi here alone.Zheng Yi was a little uncomfortable for a while, and he didn't dare to look at Bai Hewei, he lowered his head and kicked the stones beside him.

Bai Hewei closed the door of the barn, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and handed one to Zheng Yi. Zheng Yi took it, and seeing the ring on Bai Hewei's hand for the first time, he decided to play dumb and smiled She asked him anxiously: "Are you married?" Simply reminiscing about the old days, it was nothing to talk about.

Bai Hewei's gaze stayed on the mountain behind the village. On the mountain were evergreen pine trees and some apricots that had just bloomed. Under the blue sky, it was really pleasing to the eye, and he himself felt very comfortable under the sun. "Yes."

"Where's the child? Have you got it too?" Zheng Yi asked again.

Bai Hewei shook his head and said, "She passed away, we have no children."

He obviously knew the answer, but when he really heard these words from his mouth, there was a hint of desolation.Zheng Yi said sorry, but I really don't know what to say now.

The cigarette in Bai Hewei's hand was not finished and he was unwilling to continue. He threw the remaining half of the cigarette on the ground and kicked it out with his feet. He didn't want to talk about too private topics with Zheng Yi yet, because he could From Zheng Yi's eyes, he can see his remaining desire and strong, inextricable affection for himself.

"I..." Zheng Yi was about to say something when Bai Hewei's cell phone rang. Bai Hewei looked at the word Qu Yan on the screen and frowned. He picked up the phone, and Qu Yan's delicate voice came from the receiver. It was passed out. "He Wei, what are you doing?"

"work."

"Oh, are you free tonight? Let's watch a movie together."

"I'm on duty tonight."

"But……"

"I've been very busy recently, and I don't have much time to accompany you. Wait until I finish my work."

"You are always busy." Qu Yan complained, "I don't know why people are so busy when you are down there."

Bai Hewei didn't like Qu Yan's entanglement more and more. He didn't know how long he could hold on. If he hadn't worried too much, he might have broken up with her long ago. He took a deep breath to calm himself as much as possible, and said : "I can't help it either."

"Hey, forget it, I won't tell you anymore, I'll go find someone else, really."

When the phone hung up, Bai Hewei breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Zheng Yi standing aside awkwardly, he said, "My girlfriend."

"Yeah." Zheng Yi nodded, with a very uncomfortable expression on his face.

Although he heard Kang Jiabei casually say that Bai Hewei has a girlfriend, but he actually saw two people talking on the phone next to him, and he finally felt that it would be better to wake up from his sweet dreams earlier, and he could no longer be so immoral fantasy.

Suddenly the wind blew, and it was very cold. Bai Hewei wrapped his clothes and said to Zheng Yi: "Let's go, let's go in, there's nothing to do, so I'll go back first."

"Row."

They went in when someone came to finish their work. Zheng Yi told Zhang Xiaosheng that they were leaving. Zhang Xiaosheng also said that he would keep them for lunch. Zheng Yi hurriedly said: "No, the town has prepared lunch. Secretary Zhang, you are busy." Yours."

Zhang Xiaosheng still enthusiastically sent them out and watched them leave. Bai Hewei looked back at the humble village from the car window, sighed, turned around and said to Fang Weizhou: "After we go back, let's go tell Zhou Ju Talk about buying equipment."

Fang Weizhou said: "Yes, the conditions in the townships are also difficult. We can help solve it. When Director Ou is here, we can't talk about it."

"Well, it's not a big deal."
