all the way

At the government guest house in the small town, Lao Xiong, the local coordinator of their work, told them: "My leader said that your leader will be here soon, but I don't know the exact time."

Liu Xia and the others were somewhat relieved. They felt that the leader would bring a group of people. Even if they didn't take over their work and let their team go back to rest, at least they would increase the manpower, so that the whole progress would be accelerated. The day when they went back Come early too.

However, Liu Xia made a rough estimate based on the situation provided by Old Xiong, and felt that even if there was an additional team, the entire project might be completed in a month and a half. The current season is the busiest time of the year for their business. The chance of being replaced may be at most half and half, so in order to reassure the cat, he decided to use the most primitive and safest method to contact the cat first: write a letter.

In the middle of the night, when Liu Xia had just finished writing a thick letter to Mao'er, Yue Desheng, who lived next door to him, knocked on the door, saying that his stomach hurts.

Du Tao drove, and Lao Xiong, Liu Xia, Zheng Chaoyang and Wu Xiaolin accompanied Yue Desheng to the hospital. The sleepy doctor asked a few words about what he had for dinner and how he was relieved. He quickly came to a conclusion: acute gastritis, Then I prescribed some anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers. After returning to the guest house, Yue Desheng felt much better soon after taking it.

The next morning, they set off at 06:30, and under the leadership of Lao Xiong, they came to the new work area.

With the same geology and landforms, the new operation area is slightly gentler than the previous operation area. After making preliminary observations according to the map, Yue Desheng and Liu Xia quickly determined the range of the start of the operation area. In the afternoon, they formally Work started.

After hearing the news that Old Xiong brought yesterday, everyone became excited. The somewhat dull atmosphere of the previous two days was swept away, and everyone worked harder than usual.

But Liu Xia went to the site today and recalculated, and felt that even with their work efficiency, without any accidents, the two surveying and mapping teams were working at the same time, and the project would probably take at least two months to complete. During this period, they need to work across six counties, and the place of accommodation has to be constantly moved with the work area.

Liu Xia never minded changing assignments and places of accommodation incessantly before, but now, if that were the case, it would be impossible for the cat to write back to him.

This judgment made Liu Xia very uncomfortable, because he was also thinking, whether the people who came must be to replace or enrich them, maybe they just came to deliver supplies!

But no matter how uncomfortable he feels, Liu Xia is still working hard and earnestly: Sitting worrying or complaining will not make things better. No matter what the final situation is, it is the best choice to hurry up and do more now .

Yue Desheng suddenly fell ill while having lunch on the fourth day. He pressed his hands on his stomach, his face was terribly pale, and after a while sweat began to drip down his cheeks. Zheng Chaoyang said that he looked like acute appendicitis and had to be rushed to the hospital.

They had to walk about fifteen miles to get to the main road to take a car. Zheng Chaoyang and his men were all soldiers with rich experience. They made a simple stretcher in a few minutes. Liu Xia, Du Tao and several other members of the construction team They took turns carrying Yue Desheng, and ran wildly all the way to the car.

Extremely uncomfortable, Yue Desheng insisted that only Du Tao go to the hospital with him alone, and let Liu Xia and Zheng Chaoyang go back to work.

Liu Xia had heard before that appendicitis, a disease that doesn't sound too serious, would hurt people to death if it was delayed. He was worried about Du Tao, and felt that Zheng Chaoyang was more assertive at critical moments, so he asked Lao Xiong and Zheng Chaoyang also followed Yue Desheng to the county hospital, and returned to work with three other workers.

Liu Xia and the others originally lived in a hotel in a small town closest to the work area. Du Tao took them all back to the county after finishing work this evening. Yue Desheng was indeed suffering from appendicitis, and had already had an operation to remove it in the afternoon.

Although Yue Desheng, who had received the injection, still had a very bad complexion, he was in good spirits, and he was still smiling and joking with Liu Xia and the others.

Liu Xia was very sad, Yue Desheng must have been suffering these few days, so many of them didn't realize it, and let him run like a young man every day, without taking care of him at all.

Yue Desheng seemed to have seen through Liu Xia's mind, patted his hand and said: "Don't think about it, the doctor said, I have an acute attack of chronic appendicitis, I didn't take it seriously before, I always thought it was a bad stomach, this attack In this way, it is completely resolved, and I will no longer feel stomach pains at every turn."

The conditions of the hospitals in the county are similar, crowded and simple. The old bear found the leader of his unit, and the leader found the leader of the hospital. At least he transferred a single room to Yue Desheng. The old bear’s unit sent a young man, Xiao He, to help. The young man is kind Being diligent and able to do things, Liu Xia felt more at ease.

Yue Desheng's request to Liu Xia and the others is: "Strictly follow the operating procedures. We are doing preliminary exploration for a huge system project. The data we provide is decisive for the superiors to make correct decisions, so the data must be guaranteed. accuracy.

Xiao Liu, I believe in your professional ability and professionalism. Now we can't get in touch with Captain Ma and the others. Even if we can, if it's not that we are short of manpower, I will not apply for other people to replace my job. You will lead the job independently. There is no problem with the team work, especially when I am partnering with Chaoyang, I feel more at ease.

You should devote all your energy to your work, you don't need to come and see me every day, as long as Xiao He is here. "

Liu Xia and the others followed Yue Desheng's instructions every day, earnestly and strictly regulated their homework, but they would definitely come to see him every night.

When they are away from home, the normal relationship between colleagues will appear closer, not to mention that Liu Xia and Yue Desheng have spent more time together, and Yue Desheng himself is a very respectable leader and senior.

Ma Qianli and the others arrived at dusk on the fourth day Yue Desheng was hospitalized.

They set off today before dawn, because the road from this place to Rongze had a landslide in the rain a few days ago. The road landslide was very steep, and it has not been repaired yet, so they detoured for a long time. come over.

Ma Qianli not only brought fifteen people, but also brought something that made everyone's eyes envious - a big brother.

Ma Qianli put the black big brother on the table, and said to Liu Xia and the others: "I just applied for it a few days ago. I have tried it a few times and it is very useful. Today, everyone can try it next to each other. Give it a try. Let's make a phone call at home, anyone who wants to make a call in the future can do so at any time.

Everyone is in a hurry today, so each person calls one first. I told Master Zhao when I came here, and asked him to tell your family members. They are probably waiting at the gate at this point. "

Liu Xia looked at the time, it was 47:[-], the cat was still out of school, and he watched other people talking affectionately with their family members.

Liu Xia called from Ma Qianli's private room just opened at [-]:[-]. Ma Qianli went to see Yue Desheng.

As soon as Master Zhao heard his voice, he immediately said: "Oh, your Liu An is standing in front of me, just wait..."

"Uncle, where are you? Why haven't you come back for so many days?" Mao'er's eager voice came from the phone.

Liu Xia was so excited that he didn't know what to say: "Cat, good boy, it's uncle, it's uncle, uncle... I can't go back, uncle's work here hasn't finished yet..."

After a short silence, the cat said in a normal voice: "Oh, I see, then, when will you come back? I, I miss you very much, I really miss you so much."

Liu Xia felt something warm rolling in his chest, and his eyes were also hot: "Well, uncle knows how to be good, and uncle misses you very much, every day, wishing to leave the work here and run back.

Hey, you haven't eaten yet, have you? "

"I'm not hungry. As soon as I got to the gate, Grandpa Zhao said that you would call, and I'll wait here. Hehe, I'm so happy. I, I think every day that you will come back. Later, Ma Pengcheng said that you might come back." No, I thought he was lying to me on purpose!

However, I secretly thought, if it's true that you can't come back, and if you can't see you, it's fine if you can hear you talk. "

"My uncle thinks the same way. I don't know what's wrong with the phone here. I can't get through. My uncle wrote you a letter a few days ago. It's been a week. Haven't you received it yet?"

"No, why hasn't it arrived after so many days? It would be great if I received it. I like to read the letters you wrote to me."

"From then on, my uncle will often write to you when he has nothing to do. Every time, he will write a thick volume, so that our precious cat will be very happy."

"Well! Uncle, in our school's spring sports meeting, I won the first place in the 3000-meter run. The long-necked goose told me to call me a parent. He wanted me to go to a sports school. I told him no, I wanted to go to college, but he still didn't like it." Yes, if you have to call me the parent, I asked Brother Xiaorui to tell the third aunt, and the third aunt came to tell the long-necked wild goose, so he didn't look for me again.

We will have a mid-term exam next week. Teacher Chen talked to me and brought me a lot of middle school students' essays for me to read. She said that she wanted me to get a high score in my essays so that I could be the first in the grade, but I don't want to. I like those composition essays, they have no meaning at all, they are all made up, they are lying at first glance, I don't want to read them. "

"If you don't want to watch it, don't watch it. We don't force you to be the first in grade. As long as you study hard, uncle will be happy;

Remember, you must be careful when you ride your bicycle to and from school every day. There are many large vehicles at Xinghua intersection. Don’t dare to rush downhill when you go downhill. Something will happen.

Milk must be drunk every day. Now that the weather is getting hot, you must hurry back and put it in the refrigerator after breastfeeding, so as not to let it go bad;

If you feel abnormal when stewing the milk, don’t try to taste it, just pour it out, we don’t regret the few cents, spoiled milk can’t drink anything, remember?

You and Brother Xiaorui go to eat, eat whatever you like, don't just pick the cheap ones;

Also, if you wake up late one day and you are about to be late, don't worry, even if you are really late, you can't run a red light or compete with cars.

If you are late, you will be late, it doesn't matter, just get up earlier next time, if something happens because of riding fast, my uncle will be angry..."

……

Liu Xia spent almost an hour on the phone. When Ma Qianli opened the door and came in, he realized that he might have lost a month's salary.

Ma Qianli smiled and said loudly: "Liu An, the big brother will be placed with your uncle from now on. From now on, you can talk to him every day, so you don't have to ask Ma Pengcheng every day to ask your uncle when he can go back."

For a long time after he hung up the phone, Liu Xia still heard the cat's happy laughter: "Ah——, I will receive your call every day from now on? Uncle, hehehe, I...hehehe , I wait here every day after school, do you remember to call me every day, uncle! Hehehe, Lao Mei, I can hear my uncle talking every day."

Ma Qianli took the phone and put it on the table: "Hey, they are also children of this age. That bastard Ma Pengcheng is one-tenth as sensible as your Liu An, so your sister-in-law and I can rest easy."

Liu Xia smiled, but he couldn't speak. Talking to Mao'er didn't make him miss him any less, but he felt even more uncomfortable, thinking about Mao'er going home alone after putting down the phone, and then sitting alone in the house doing homework He looked lonely from time to time, he wished he could leave now and go back to be with his little baby.

Ma Qianli asked Liu Xia to call all the people in their team to have a meeting together.

At the meeting, Ma Qianli did not explain too much to Liu Xia and the others the reason for the temporary addition of this project, just like the one they had just completed, but just told them that this is a task that must be completed and there is no room for bargaining.

Of the [-] people Ma Qianli brought, three were technicians, including Li Jiyue and Sun Lianchao, an old engineer from the third department who was about to retire, and Meng Yujie, a relatively young technician from the fourth department;

A driver named Wang Bao.

The members of the seven construction teams were all subordinates of the first team Zheng Chaoyang, including Wan Jianye.

The three technicians and seven workers improvised a team.

As for the four support staff, two men and two women, Ma Qianli didn't explain, and Liu Xia and the others didn't dare to ask. They obviously felt that the expressions of those people were not right, and they looked very embarrassed and aggrieved.

Knowing that these people are really just here to work with them, not replace them as they originally hoped, it is impossible for Liu Xia and the others not to be disappointed, but they also thought that it would be good to have an extra team, at least It's better than working in this barren mountains for several months with only their team, right?

Moreover, I can often talk on the phone with my family in the future, which makes them feel more at ease.

After Liu Xia returned to his and Wu Xiaolin's room, he sat for a long time in silence, and then began to do calculations with Wu Xiaolin. Wu Xiaolin couldn't hold on until after eleven o'clock and fell asleep. Liu Xia kept working It's almost two o'clock.

Ma Qianli didn't leave him alone, he stayed behind and led Liu Xia and his team together for ten days.

Ma Qianli was a worker-peasant-soldier college student in [-], and his major was surveying and mapping. Regardless of how people later commented on the worker-peasant-soldier student who was a political product, Liu Xia always believed that Ma Qianli was definitely a college student in the true sense.

The night before Ma Qianli left, he announced that after he and Yue Desheng had left, Liu Xia would be the team leader and lead the original team to form the first team;

Li Jiyue was the team leader and formed the second team with Sun Gong, Meng Yujie and his newly brought construction team members;

The two teams worked together to complete all the subsequent work. During the progress of the project, Li Jiyue and Liu Xia discussed the progress of the entire project and the division of the specific scope of work.

About accommodation.

Because most of the routes along their project are located in deep mountainous areas, even if there are families nearby, they are all very poor. Basically, there are two or three low, dark mud thatched huts where a large family lives. Each family can be described as bare and four walls. It is impossible to rent a house to them, so it is difficult for them to rent a house nearby.

Based on this situation, Ma Qianli asked them to arrange themselves flexibly. If they were too far away from the nearest village, they would have large trucks and tents, and they would station as much as possible on the spot to avoid wasting too much time on the road.

If they are in a situation like theirs now, and they are relatively close to the county seat or town, they can live in a guest house or hotel.

From that day on, Liu Xia enjoyed the treatment of the team leader and lived in a single room like Sun Gong and Li Jiyue.

After Ma Qianli made the announcement, he immediately left with Yue Desheng, who had already had his stitches removed, because Liu Xia was going to move to the single room where he used to live. For the phone call, there is no need to consider the cost. The team is not so poor that they can't afford the few calls.

After Yue Desheng was hospitalized, Liu Xia naturally led the rest of the team to work, but now that Ma Qianli specially announced him as the team leader, Liu Xia was a little at a loss, he didn't know what he needed to do.

He is a person who does not need to be directed by others. He can do his job very well when he finds the right position. The same is true for Zheng Chaoyang and his subordinates. Liu Xia wants to recall how Yue Desheng and Ma Qianli did it, but he can't think of anything. Can't get up.

Because cooperating with this group of people basically does not require any command, everyone is very conscientious, and they understand each other so well that no special words are needed to coordinate. As long as Liu Xia and the others find their positions, Zheng Chaoyang and His men knew where and what they needed to do next.

Zheng Chaoyang saw Liu Xia's problem, and said with a smile: "Xiao Liu, we brothers won't pull you sideways, so what do you have to worry about? Let's just do the same as before."

Li Jiyue also smiled and patted Liu Xia on the shoulder: "Go ahead, when we didn't come, wasn't it you who was leading independently? How could you be so stupid after announcing a team leader!"

After Liu Xia calmed down and thought about it, it was true, isn't it still those jobs?If Li Jiyue and the others didn't come, wouldn't he have to take those few people to finish the work?It's really not the same.

So Liu Xia continued to do his work calmly.

Wu Xiaolin was very happy. Liu Xia was too young, and he had been worried that Ma Qianli would send him to follow the older Sun Gong or Li Jiyue.

He likes the feeling of working with Liu Xia: very strict and tiring, but not aggrieved. Even when he first came here and couldn't even keep records, Liu Xia didn't look down on him at all. Now he is with Liu Xia. When doing calculations, no matter how naive the question he asks, Liu Xia will explain it to him seriously.

Wu Xiaolin feels that he has learned more in the four months since he came to the unit than he has learned in the three years in college, especially from Liu Xia, he has learned a lot of things that he never knew existed before. .

Wan Jianye felt a little regretful, he thought he could work together with Liu Xia and Zheng Chaoyang this time!

Both Liu Xia and Li Jiyue deliberately ignored the four support staff, because they really didn't know how to deal with them.

During the ten days Ma Qianli was here, these people were not allowed to do anything, just watched Liu Xia and the others work, and then ate with them when the time came. They just kept watching, not allowed to move.

Before leaving, Ma Qianli didn't tell Liu Xia and the others why he brought these people here, but told Liu Xia and Li Jiyue that it would be fine to let these people go with them when the project was over.

However, Liu Xia has already heard from Wan Jianye that many things happened in the team when they left this section. Ma Qianli is now rectifying the logistics department, asking all the personnel in the logistics department to take turns to experience the life of front-line field personnel. Go through a complete project cycle with one team. If it is a short-term small project, you may have to work with several teams to complete the calculation.

Liu Xia shrugged when he remembered Ding Hongliang's words that day.

On the day when Ma Qianli was leaving, it happened that it was Wu Xiaolin's turn to cook at noon, and the four logistics staff all went to help Wu Xiaolin as if they had made an agreement.

Wu Xiaolin was a newcomer, and it was absolutely impossible for him to sternly say that he would not let them help like Ma Qianli, so those people pushed Wu Xiaolin to Liu Xia's side with jokes and jokes, and asked him to continue to help Liu Xia record data. Those four people cooked the meal by themselves.

Liu Xia didn't say a word, acquiesced, he was also a newcomer, he didn't intend to interfere in such a thing.

During the meal, a few people came over and told Li Jiyue and Liu Xia that they wanted to cover the cooking. Yuan Qingmei, the warehouse keeper, and Zhou Caifeng from the publicity department also said that they could help you wash your coats and the like .

Liu Xia and Li Jiyue only exchanged a glance and agreed.

Watching other colleagues work hard every day, while being deliberately left alone, the feeling is worse than being roasted on the fire.

Liu Xia will never be able to do things that add insult to injury.

The contradiction of the difference in treatment between positions, almost everyone will talk about it behind their backs. As long as Zhang Shubao and Ding Hongliang don't make it clear that they are targeting a certain person, in fact, no one will take it too seriously. The mood of wanting to get more bonuses is the same for everyone , Liu Xia can also understand.

These people are all much older than Liu Xia, except for Yuan Qingmei, Liu Xia has dealt with her a few times when he first came here, and the other three have never even said a word, there is no vengeance, why should he be difficult where are they.

But Zhou Caifeng was still not at ease, so she found an opportunity to say to Liu Xia: "Xiao Liu, no one else in our publicity department knew what Ding Hongliang said in the financial office that day.

He has only been here for a few days, and he is very arrogant. Every day, he is full of ideals of democracy, the legal system, freedom, equality, and so on. I am a rough old man who graduated from high school. ,Right?

The eldest sister has been in our team for more than ten years, how can she not know how hard you front-line staff are?

You see, Sun Gong is going to retire soon. At this age, even in the countryside, he doesn't work much in the fields, but Sun Gong still has to run around in this barren mountains and mountains every day, and he has to count until midnight at night. We old people all know this situation.

It’s just a newcomer like Ding Hongliang who makes random comments when he doesn’t understand anything, and those in the business department and the team like to quarrel when they have nothing to do. Propaganda Section, it is the eldest sister who is giving your opinions! "

Liu Xia smiled and said, "Sister, what are you thinking about? I'm working outside all day and I'm so busy that I don't have time to think about those things; besides, if I think about it, it must be just matter-of-fact. What Ding Hongliang said doesn't matter at all. To your heads!"

Zhou Caifeng said: "I don't worry about that. You don't know. You are in the same class as a person who doesn't understand anything and is full of guns every day. It's disgusting. Not only do you have to listen to him bragging every day, but you also have to take the blame for him. , In fact, we also feel that we are very unlucky, you said you have many departments, why did the leader assign him to our department?"

The work has returned to a stable period. The people in the two teams are working very hard and the efficiency is very high. It makes Liu Xia feel that it is not so far away to go home.

The signal is not good in the mountains at noon, and every day when I return to the town at dinner time, the big brother can be used by everyone, and he only uses it for about 5 minutes at [-]:[-].

Mao'er has a lot of homework every day, and Liu Xia doesn't want to delay him for too long.

Five minutes is enough to make both Liu Xia and Mao'er feel at ease.

The author has something to say: pull sideways: the original meaning refers to several horses pulling a cart at the same time. to cooperate in work.
