Li Long stopped for a while while driving his jeep to Beiting City.
There are two ways to go to Hongqi Farm. You can go northeast from Beiting and bypass Wucheng, or you can go east from Wucheng.
Li Long hasn't passed by. When he gets here, he has to find out clearly.
In Beiting, the only person Li Long knew well, besides Director Qian, was the driver Xiao Si.
Li Long parked the jeep near the state association and asked Sister Yang and Han Fang to stay in the car while he went to find Xiao Si.
Li Long was driving fast along the way. It was not yet twelve o'clock and it was not time to get off work. There were people coming and going at the door of the state association. Li Longliang paid for the ID given to him by the director. The guard let him in directly and looked at him curiously.
Have you ever seen such a person? But the proof is true.
After Li Long went in, he inquired about the small bus class and found Xiao Si.
Xiao Si is maintaining the car in the garage. Someone was playing cards in the garage next to him, but he didn't participate, which seemed a bit unconventional.
When Li Long greeted him, Xiao Si was a little surprised.
"I have to go to the Hongqi Farm of the Sixth Agricultural Division to do some errands. I haven't walked there, so I want to ask you for directions."
In fact, you can ask for directions casually outside, but it is safer to ask a small business person.
"Going to Dongsan County?" Xiao Si was a little surprised, "Are you in a hurry? If you're not in a hurry, I'll take you there this Sunday."
"Urgent, I have to go today. A relative of mine came from my hometown. My relatives are there, but I haven't been able to contact him. I'm very anxious."
"Okay, let me show you the road. You've never walked it before, right?"
"Yes." Li Long nodded honestly, "It's best to be more detailed. It's winter and there are few people in Dongsan County. It would be troublesome for me to get lost."
"That's true. I'll give you two gas coupons later. You go fill up the gas. It's best to bring two more barrels," Xiao Si joked, "If you really get lost, you can light a fire in the wild if you have gasoline. By the way, bring the lighter.”
Although Xiao Si was joking, Li Long thought it was quite unlucky to think of a popular novel at that time, "The Soldiers Deep in the Tianshan Mountains", in which the dead people's bones were dipped in gasoline and set on fire if they got lost.
Nothing bad will happen, right?
Xiao Si is still joking, but he still takes things very seriously.
He put away the tools for car maintenance, took Li Long to his dormitory, and first gave Li Long some gas coupons.
Li Long took a look and saw that this gas ticket was the same as the last one. It was for direct refueling without paying for it. He hurriedly declined:
"Xiao Si, no, I'll take it with me."
"It's yours to take with you. I managed to help you once." Xiao Si joked, "It's not easy to return a favor to you. Take it.
Come, let me give you a picture. In fact, you can go both ways, but to be honest, it is easier to go from the Wucheng side. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Si took out a pen and paper and drew a simple route for Li Long. Where were the forks, how many kilometers did he need to turn, and where the big forks went were marked.
With such a picture, Li Long felt more at ease.
"Let's go, I'll get you two more oil barrels," Xiao Si said, "By the way, do you want to meet the director?"
"I disappeared. To be honest, things were really urgent this time. My relative came from his hometown and has been looking for his family for more than half a year. Now that there is news, I am extremely anxious. I have to deliver him as soon as possible. < br>
If you tell the director, I will be embarrassed. ”
"Okay, I'll report to the director in the afternoon." Xiao Si said, "If you have anything to do, call here. Our supply and marketing cooperative also collects things over there. Although the relationship is ordinary, it is still a public unit after all, and it is easier to talk to than a private person. Some.”
He and Xiao Si went to get the oil drum. Xiao Si said there was no need to return it as it was easy for them to get it, so Li Long didn't go out again.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative and getting into the jeep, Li Long told Sister Yang the situation, then started the car and went to refuel.
When the jeep goes to the oil depot to refuel, the treatment is really different. The people are also very polite, and Li Long is even more polite. Two twenty-five-liter oil drums were filled up and placed in the trunk, and then they drove to Wucheng.
Taking a long-distance bus to Wucheng feels completely different from driving into Wucheng by yourself.
Although there are not many openings to enter Wucheng from west to east, and it was a bit friendly when passing by Bagang, but when walking in, it felt a bit confusing. Fortunately, Xiao Si wrote very clearly about how to go after entering Wucheng and where to turn out.
After Li Long drove the jeep into Wucheng, his speed slowed down. As he drove, he said to Sister Yang behind him:
"Sister Yang, it's now time. Let's find a place to have lunch in Wucheng. Next, we have to go through Miquan Fukang and then to Jimusar, where we will find Hongqi Farm.
The next road is not very easy to walk. How about we finish our meal here and drive there later? ”
"Then... Uncle Li will listen to you." Although Sister Yang can't eat at all and is full of anxiety, she also knows that even if she doesn't eat, it's impossible for Li Long and her daughter Han Fang to not eat.
Now that you're in the car, let's listen to Li Long.
Li Long searched while driving and found a steaming canteen on the roadside. He parked the jeep beside it and took the two of them out of the car.
Even if the jeep is locked, he is not afraid of being stolen - this is not the 1990s. Anyone who dares to steal a jeep will be shot, and no one has the courage.
Li Long also deliberately chose a seat by the window so he could see outside.
I asked for three noodles, and Li Long also asked for two more noodles. Sister Yang and he could eat extra noodles, but Han Fang could barely finish one noodle.
No matter what, this meal must be enough. If you are full, you can get through the rest of the day.
Although Han Fang had a premonition, she was still a child after all. After the meal came, she started to devour it.
Sister Yang was worried, but she also knew that she had to eat enough at this time, otherwise she would have a long way to go, and she didn't know if she could find Han Fang's father today.
As Li Long said, if the road ahead is difficult, then you might as well eat it if you don’t know where your next meal will be.
Li Long ate the fastest. He finished the noodles, drank a bowl of hot soup, and then burped with satisfaction.
After wiping his mouth, Li Long asked Sister Yang and Han Fang to eat slowly while he went out for a while.
After going out, Li Long went to a store not far away and bought three kilograms of sesame cakes to prepare for war if he really got lost.
There was nothing to drink. Although the Garden Milk Factory had been established by this time, it had not yet been sold here. Fortunately, in this world of ice and snow, the most indispensable thing is snow, so you can't get thirsty.
By the time Sister Yang and Han Fang finished eating, Li Long had already started the car and drove to the entrance of the cafeteria.
After the mother and daughter got into the car, Li Long increased the accelerator and headed east.
After leaving Wucheng, the road was filled with ice and snow. The terrain was not flat, with occasional hills and occasional low mountains. In fact, Wucheng itself is built in the mountains. Liyu Mountain, Demon Mountain, Hongshan Mountain, etc. are all familiar to local people.
Although walking eastward is on the edge of the basin, it is normal to encounter mountains occasionally.
The road condition is indeed not as good as the Wuyi Highway, but it is the road leading to Dongsi County (formerly Dongsan County plus Fukang). There are cars passing by, and the pressure is quite flat. It is easier to identify the direction if you follow the road.
It feels like the snow here is even heavier than that in Ma County. There are occasionally neat snow-covered farmland on both sides of the road, and more of it is the Gobi with sparse shrubs. Li Long also saw a small group of yellow sheep or antelopes in the distance. If he really wanted to get out of the car, he should be able to shoot them with his own gun.
But he didn't slow down and kept running forward.
Now is not the time for hunting, it is important to get to the place quickly.
Compared with the two sides of Wuyi Highway, there are obviously fewer vehicles and people on this side of the road, and the road is narrower. There are few houses on both sides of the road - except when passing through some small villages or towns.
According to the map drawn by Xiao Si, Li Long drove through Miquan - Midong District, which had not yet become Wucheng at this time, and then to Fukang. Going further, he reached the boundary of Jimusar.
After going to work in the afternoon, Xiao Si went to Director Qian's office to report Li Long's arrival.
"Relative?" Director Qian frowned, "This Xiao Li still doesn't regard our state association as his own unit. As for the Hongqi Farm matter, our state association can find out with just a phone call - okay Well, since he wants to go by himself, he may have his own ideas.
If he calls you, try your best to help deal with it. If you can't solve it, come to me. ”
After Xiao Si left, Director Qian thought for a while and put the matter aside.
Li Long's considerations are naturally clear to him. If he can solve small things by himself, he definitely doesn't want to trouble the leader.
Director Qian is now at a critical moment, and at this time, the tiger skin is still playing a huge role, and he still feels very good about Li Long.
If you can help, then help.
Of course, he felt that with Li Long's ability, it should take little effort to solve small things.
Xiaosi did a good job.
Maybe Li Long can surprise him in the future. The Xingtuan Hongqi Farm is located in the north of JMSE County, covering an area that almost spans the county, with Qitai to the east and Fukang to the west.
Most of these counties in Beiting are long and narrow from north to south and not wide from east to west.
To go to Hongqi Farm, take the old National Highway 216, without passing through JMSE County.
When we arrived at Hongqi Farm, the sun had already set in the west for a long time, and it felt like it would set in two or three hours.
The road is harder to walk than expected.
Fortunately, it's finally here.
The site of Hongqi Farm is equivalent to a small rural town, and people here were a little surprised when they saw the jeep.
The director of the farm is qualified to ride in this kind of car, but that Jeep is worse than this one, and the engine sound is different. Is there another leader here?
Compared with the road outside, the snow on the road inside the farm is clean. Although the road is a bit narrow and the farm is not large, the plan looks very neat.
When she entered the farm, Sister Yang's expression became serious and nervous. She held the bundle tightly, not knowing what she would face next.
When he arrived at the place, Li Long felt relaxed and found his destination. No matter good or bad, he had to face the next step.
I didn’t know where to start before, but now I finally have an ending. Good or bad, you have to accept it.

Hope it's good.
There were announcements posted on the walls on both sides of the field. Li Long glanced at them when his jeep parked at the edge, and then he got out of the car.
Although there is no guard, you have to be polite when walking in. It is not easy to drive the jeep directly into the yard - the yard is not big.
Sister Yang got out of the car, and Han Fang got off from the other side - she already knew how to open the door from the inside.
After getting off the car, she held her mother's hand tightly. It wasn't that Han Fang was nervous. It was because she found that her mother's mouth was tightly pursed and her body was tense after arriving at the Hongqi Farm. She was holding her mother to give her Mom power.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?" When Li Long's jeep drove outside the courtyard, people in the courtyard had already noticed him. When he entered the courtyard, someone came over and asked.
"Hello, I'm from the Beiting Prefecture Federation of Supply and Marketing," Li Long took out his work certificate, "I'm here to find someone."
At this time, Beiting Prefecture's work permit still has some effect. Although the Corps and the local area are not affiliated with each other at this time, it can at least prove that Li Long is a serious person.
And that Jeep endorsed him.
"Hello, Comrade Li Long." The middle-aged man with a three-quarter-parted hair and shaved sideburns glanced at the worker, handed it back to Li Long with a smile, and said, "Come on, come in and sit down. By the way, Who are you looking for in our unit?”
"Han Bin, I'm looking for Han Bin." Li Long glanced back and found Sister Yang looking intently at the wall outside the yard, her face unusually pale.
What, is Sister Yang sick?
"Um...who are you from Han Bin?" When the man heard that Li Long was looking for Han Bin, his expression changed and he asked.
"The two of them..." Li Long turned to look at Sister Yang. He found that Sister Yang was sitting directly on the ground, and Han Fang was trying hard to pull her mother up.
Li Long hurriedly ran back, came to Sister Yang, and asked with concern:
"Sister Yang, what's wrong with you?"
Then, he saw the tears on Sister Yang's face.
"Uncle..." Han Fang also cried, pointing at the wall and said, "Uncle, look..."
Li Long turned his head and looked over. There were many announcements posted on the wall.
There is one that is more eye-catching, but it is also a little torn. The words on it are clearly "Notice of Learning from Martyr Han Bin"...
martyr?
Li Long was confused for a moment, martyr? This means...
He turned to look at the comrade who was following him.
"Yes, Han Bin is a transporter for our unit's transportation company. However, when he was transporting supplies in autumn, he encountered a frightened horse. In order to save the people passing by, he hit his head on a stone while stopping the frightened horse. , died in the line of duty..."
Li Long sighed.
Sister Yang’s suppressed cries started to sound:
"Ah——..."
"Who are these two?" The comrade was a little confused.
"These two are the wives and children of Comrade Han Bin." Li Long said, "They had come to Northern Xinjiang to look for Han Bin a long time ago, but because their bag was stolen at Wucheng Railway Station, their address was gone and they had no information. Remember, we found our side..."
"Shouldn't be right?" the comrade said in surprise, "As soon as Comrade Han Bin died, we sent a telegram to his hometown and sent him the pension and Comrade Han Bin's relics. In addition, we also sent there every month Got the money..."
"The two of them came here last year and have been here for more than a year." Li Long shook his head, "Things are more complicated."
"Then go to the office." The man had a complicated expression on his face, pointed inside and said:
"It's cold outside."
Li Long supported the crying Sister Yang and Han Fang, who was a little sad but still a little confused, and walked into the office together.
When I entered the office, I felt a sense of warmth. The stove inside was quite hot. The man took Li Long and the others to a conference room, poured water for the three of them, and said:
"I'll go find our leader, you guys wait a moment."
After that, he left.
Li Long immediately felt that this was not in line with the norm.
Under normal circumstances, even if you don't care much about the families of the martyrs, someone still needs to accompany them.
His mind was spinning very quickly. After recalling the situation just now, he immediately said to Sister Yang:
"Sister, do you have anything to prove your identity?"
Sister Yang wiped her face, untied the bundle she had been holding tightly, and took out a few letters from it.
"This... is a letter from the village party secretary, and this is a few letters written by my mother-in-law..."
"Okay." Li Long breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to have this. Sister Yang, if this happens now, none of us want to think about it. But the most important thing now is to see how to go next..."
This incident happened suddenly, and Li Long didn't know how to comfort people.
When someone's husband dies, it's hard for him to die just because he's dead. Moreover, Han Bin died trying to save the lives of the masses and was a martyr.
Martyrs cannot be commented casually, and Li Long knows this.
But then, he also got a little numb.
what to do?
Unable to allow Li Long to continue thinking, footsteps came from outside the conference room.
The comrade who just came in first, followed by two people.
"Comrade Li Long, come, let me introduce to you. This is Section Chief Xu of our Farm Publicity Section, and this is Deputy Section Chief Zheng of our Farm Security Section. These two section chiefs, this is from the Beiting Prefecture Federation of Supply and Marketing Comrade Li Long, these two are... they said they are Han Bin's family members."
After the introduction, the comrade stood aside.
Li Long first stepped forward and shook hands with the two section chiefs - it was okay if the propaganda section chief came over, but if the deputy section chief of the security section came over, Li Long had pretty much guessed it.
Sister Yang wiped away her tears and looked at the two section chiefs.
Han Fang was also a little nervous.
"Sit down first." Section Chief Xu pointed to the chair and said, "I heard that Comrade Han Bin's family members are here, so I came over to take a look. Han Bin is an outstanding employee of our farm. We have worked hard to produce such an outstanding employee." And proud. This is..."
"Sister Yang, Yang Xiulan, the wife of Comrade Han Bin." Li Long introduced, "This is his daughter, Han Fang."
Section Chief Xu turned his head and glanced at Deputy Section Chief Zheng. Deputy Section Chief Zheng had a notebook in his hand, opened it, looked at it, and nodded.
Section Chief Xu was a little surprised and then said:
"Comrade Han Bin had an accident, and we are very sad. After the accident, we sent a telegram to his hometown. Didn't you receive it?"
Li Long finally understood. His guess was correct. This farm was still relatively strict. He probably thought that Han Bin's incident had happened for so long. He had sent money and things to his hometown, so why did he find it again? And it seems that they still don’t know that something happened to Han Bin?
Fortunately, it was not that they were unprepared here. Li Long handed over the letters and said:
"Things are a bit complicated. I think Section Chief Xu will understand after reading these letters. Although family scandals cannot be publicized, we also know that we need to prove our identity... Let's take a look." (End of Chapter)
