fire rescue

Chapter 6

Because of fighting the fire for several hours, the large army was exhausted. After discussing with the two bureau chiefs, they arranged accommodation in a small town two or three kilometers away from Baijian Mountain.

There is a well-known small restaurant in the town that tastes very good. It makes farm dishes with thick oil and red sauce, which is very attractive.Everyone was so hungry that they picked up the bowls and chopsticks and began to eat. No one spoke during the banquet, and they all ate in suspense.With the ironing of food, eating two big bowls of rice and drinking a big bowl of sauerkraut soup, Bai Hewei seemed to come back to life, and the depression in his chest was also untied.

After dinner, Bai Hewei drove to find all the small hotels in the town with good sanitary conditions, and arranged a place for such a group of people to live. He even took a shower, turned on the air conditioner and was lying on the bed shirtless watching TV.

He is covered in mud and sweat, and his handsome and self-sufficient image has long been destroyed on the mountain.It was the first time for Su Zhiwei to see Bai Hewei so sloppy in the forest defense team for so many years. He couldn't help but feel that this young trainer was much more approachable than usual, so he couldn't help but joked: "Teacher Bai, you have become a mud monkey too."

Bai Hewei smiled, took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket, and threw them to Su Zhiwei, saying, "This firefighter is covered in ashes, and if it rains, it won't be a mud monkey."

The two talked for a while, and Bai Hewei felt more comfortable. He got up to take a shower, and when he came out, Su Zhiwei had already fallen asleep with the TV on. After tossing all afternoon and one night, he was exhausted Also snored.

Bai Hewei was also tired, but he was prone to insomnia when he was tired.Standing in front of the window, a trace of coolness seeped in through the crack of the window, and he felt more awake. He saw his tired face through the reflection of the glass window, and took another cigarette to smoke.

There was a silver ring on the ring finger of the left hand holding the cigarette, and he turned it around a few times with his right hand, then put out the unfinished cigarette in the ashtray, went back to the bed, turned off the light, took Picking up the mobile phone next to the pillow, several WeChat notifications and several missed calls appeared on the screen.

One of the WeChat messages was sent to him by Shen Xin, a college classmate who works in Zhangzhou, the provincial capital. He originally contacted Shen Xin for dinner before going to the meeting, but this sudden order stopped his trip, and this one was sent to him to condemn He put pigeons of bad behavior.The other ones were sent by his girlfriend, Qu Yan, who he is dating now, and coquettishly asked him what he was doing, and he replied: "I just came down from the mountain to fight the fire, so I don't have time to reply to your message, sorry." That's it. He pressed the send button without emotion.

It was my father who made the call. He went back, briefly reported the rescue situation, and then hung up.

He put down his cell phone, closed his eyes quietly, thought about a lot of things, turned over for an unknown number of times, and then slowly fell into sleep.

Accompanied by Su Zhiwei's snoring and physical exhaustion, Bai Hewei didn't sleep very well. He had a lot of dreams, in which a young face appeared at him with a smirk and called him "senior". He was not very willing. Thinking of this person, he turned over and the person disappeared.

Before dawn in the morning, Bai Hewei woke up. Su Zhiwei was still snoring everywhere. He changed his clothes and went out for a walk. The cold wind in the morning accompanied by the damp and cold air after last night's rain blew away his tiredness.

The villagers living in this town get up very early, and they have already come out to sell vegetables at this time, and the breakfast shop has also set up a frying pan to fry fried dough sticks. Steam, accompanied by a seductive aroma, Bai Hewei ordered breakfast for a group of people in the past, and asked the boss to deliver it to various hotels at 07:30.At this time, he didn't have much appetite, so he bought some apples from a nearby stall. This is a fruit producing area, and the apples stored in the cellar are very sweet and crispy. It's good to give some to everyone on the way back.

Back in the room, Su Zhiwei was still sleeping. Bai Hewei picked up his phone and looked at it. There was a message from Qu Yan last night: "Then go to bed early."

Bai Hewei put down his phone and didn't bother with Qu Yan anymore. He knew in his heart that he didn't love Qu Yan, and the reason why he dated her was to obey his father's wishes.The Baiqu and Baiqu families were good friends. Quyan's father, Qu Jingwei, was the vice president of the Provincial Rural Commercial Bank the year before last. Said that he wanted to transfer his work to Zhangzhou, but failed for various reasons.He and Qu Yan have known each other since they were young, but they didn't have a deep relationship. The relationship between the two was only facilitated by a word at the dinner party. Now half a year has passed, and it is still the same as before.

His wife Shi Jiaonan has passed away for more than a year, and Bai Hewei has never had the heart to fall in love with anyone. In fact, he didn't think he loved Shi Jiaonan much before. The reason for marrying her in the first place was also for political purposes. The ring on his ring finger was kept on all the time. One was to block evil spirits, and the other was to let his former father-in-law, who was a leader in the province, see how much he loved Shi Jiaonan.

But for Bai Zifeng and Qu Jingwei, Bai Hewei's leading fathers in the city, the purpose of promoting their relationship is obvious. After all, if the two families can really form a family, it will be a mutually beneficial result, because Qu Jingwei, the God of Wealth, will be a great help to Bai Zifeng and his own career, and Bai Zifeng can also provide some tangible benefits to Qu Jingwei.

Bai Hewei despises his father's political methods, but looking at himself, how is he different from his father?

The sky was gradually getting brighter, and most people got up. The owner of the breakfast shop brought breakfast, and a group of people simply finished eating and set off on the road.The morning news on the radio repeated the "grand occasion" of yesterday's fire. It is conservatively estimated that the burned area would be one to two thousand hectares. Bai Hewei looked back and saw that the Baijian Mountain in the distance showed a beautiful undulating arc. Line, if it hadn't been fought on it, who would have thought that this mountain would be riddled with holes and devastated after yesterday's fire.

It was almost ten o'clock when we returned to Lingquan. Bai Hewei was called to a meeting just before he had time to rest. The meeting was presided over by Jiang Tianen, the deputy mayor of the city.When Bai Hewei entered the venue, the first thing he saw was his father who was present. He nodded to his father, found his seat and sat down.Behind him are the leaders of the forestry bureaus of various counties and districts, the leaders in charge of forestry in the townships, and the person in charge of the forestry station, which can be described as a huge momentum.

At the meeting, Jiang Tianen reported the relevant situation of the Baijian Mountain fire in Jinping yesterday, and asked all counties and districts to learn from Jinping's experience and lessons in this urgent period, and make fire prevention work the top priority of work.Bai Hewei lowered his head to remember the key points of Mayor Jiang's speech, but he always felt a burning gaze staring at him from behind. He turned his head subconsciously, but his eyes were full of unfamiliar faces.He suspected that he had not slept well and had hallucinations, so he continued to lower his head and write.

Zheng Yi received a meeting notice from the office early in the morning, asking him to go to the city for a meeting with Li Dawei, the deputy mayor, at 10:30.Fortunately, he hadn't gone out yet, so he called Li Dawei to make an appointment, and then lay back on the bed and took a nap.

His mother steamed a basket of steamed buns for him early in the morning and then went out to the supermarket. He slept until 09:30 and got up to wash and eat warm steamed buns. He felt better at home.The steamed stuffed buns are filled with radish, with prawns inside, and it tastes delicious when you bite into it.He ate four in one go, drank a bowl of thick millet porridge, ate a salted duck egg that was runny, wiped his mouth, and went out with a small bag contentedly.

Li Dawei came from the town in a long-distance bus, got into Zheng Yi's car, handed Zheng Yi a cigarette, and muttered: "You boy, why did you go home after it rained so much last night?" ?”

Zheng Yi turned the steering wheel and said, "My mother said something happened at home, so I came back in the rain."

"Hey, you have worked hard, and your mother is not easy." Li Dawei knows a little about Zheng Yi's family situation, "This time of the year is the busiest, this tendon has to be tense all the time. In the past, Du It was better when the station master didn’t retire. At least the two of you can change shifts. Now you and Zhang Xiao can’t keep a lesbian from going home all day, and he is still a temporary worker. The difficulties in your family, the town Li also understands that several leaders have considered passing the recruitment exam for a while before assigning you a deputy."

Zheng Yi smiled and didn't answer.He had heard these words several times, but every time the recruited people were sent to other departments, there was nothing he could do.

When we arrived at the venue, there were still 15 minutes before the meeting, and when we were queuing up to sign in, Zheng Yi met several acquaintances and said hello to each other.A march was playing in the venue, and he and Li Dawei found seats to sit down. He fiddled with his mobile phone for a while, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar figure walk into the venue, and then sat in the front row.

The moment he saw this person, his heart was beating violently uncontrollably, as if it would rush out of his throat in the next second, the blood kept rushing to his head, and his gaze was fixed on that person I can't move away from my body.

It was him. Seeing it with my own eyes was completely different from seeing him through a screen. This was the first time I saw him after they broke up for many years.Suddenly, a pair of dangling hands in front of Zheng Yi's eyes brought him back to his thoughts, it was Li Dawei who was sitting beside him. "Zheng Yi, why have you been in a daze? Are you uncomfortable?"

"No, I saw an acquaintance." Zheng Yi hurriedly looked away, looked at Li Dawei, and replied.

"Aren't you going to say hello?" Li Dawei asked.

Zheng Yi shook his head and said, "No need, it's too old, maybe he doesn't know me anymore."

Zheng Yi felt awkward with such an ambiguous answer, but fortunately Li Dawei stopped pestering him, and the meeting just announced the start.
