Hurrying slowly along the way, after being interrogated by several waves of patrols, it was already past three o'clock in the morning when we rushed back to the compound. After a while, the two girls were still napping in the bedroom. Zhu Xuefeng actually did something wrong and did not dare to face the parents' hesitation. , also, a whole day later than expected, hard to explain.
Pushing the door open gently, the damn door actually made a soft creaking sound. The two women were really alarmed. Zhu Xuefeng sighed. There was no yard to take care of. It was almost meaningless. This door had not been open for more than a year. Oiled.
"Damn ghost, you still know how to come back."
Xia Yuhong woke up suddenly and stood up directly. Lin Na carefully helped close the door and turned on the kerosene lamp.
“Have you dug out all these old antiques?” Zhu Xuefeng remembered that there was a kerosene lamp in the study. It had been out of use for a while since the electricity was turned on, so he quickly interrupted.
"Aren't you afraid of attracting attention by turning on the light?"
Xia Yuhong looked at the man through the brightened light, full of suspicion.
"You smell like alcohol and don't look good. Why did you go and come back now? Something happened?"
Xia Yuhong's mind is full of questions. If you don't look good, Something must have happened, but why did he smell like alcohol? He asked again. "I'm not feeling uncomfortable at all. I was fine when I left yesterday."
Hearing that the man looked bad, Lin Na quickly came over with a kerosene lamp to take a look. Sure enough, his face was a bit ugly.
"Why does it look like he was seriously ill? What happened?"
Xia Yuhong's words reminded Zhu Xuefeng, "It's nothing. I had a big drink with Xie Junjie and the others. After drinking too much, my face naturally looked bad. "
"Why are you drinking so much? You take a break and I'll pour some hot water and make a cup of tea to sober up."
The three of them sat down, Zhu Xuefeng aside. While drinking tea, they briefly talked about the news of the big courtyard brother, and the two women were also stunned.
“There is not much news this year, that is, all the military regions came to the capital to hold a huge military training competition, and then reiterated what was proposed last year: industry learns from Daqing, agriculture learns from Dazhai, and the people of the whole country learn from the People’s Liberation Army .”
"It's okay if you don't have it. It's getting late. Get some rest quickly. You two have to get up early to go to work tomorrow. Don't wait for me like this next time. It's not like you two don't know about my health."
Lin Na He knew that there must be something going on here, but it was indeed late, and the man seemed very tired. He stopped Xia Yuhong's inquiring, and the three of them went to bed hastily. Zhu Xuefeng slept soundly. When he got up again, both women were gone. There is only one breakfast on the dining table with a spoon.
The jeep was speeding on the road. This was because Lao Yang knew that he was going back to his hometown to pick up his cousin for work, so he specially asked the small car class to arrange it. It was still the one that Secretary Chen had at the time. After Secretary Liu transferred it, this car changed again. Empty.
The younger sister was teasing Xiao Hei excitedly in the back row. Xiao Hei's unexpected return made her very happy, but Xiao Hei looked helpless and let the younger sister rub him.
"Brother, why do I feel that Xiao Hei has grown a lot after staying outside for more than a month? Did I lose it before? But I don't like it even when I feed it."
< br>
Zhu Xuefeng smiled. Xiao Hei strengthened again and naturally got a little bigger. "Don't worry about it. It looks for food by itself. It is in the development period now. It will be normal when it grows up."
"Oh." Xiao Hei The girl was quite easy to fool, rubbing her little face against Xiao Hei's smooth fur, her eyes filled with happiness.
While driving, Zhu Xuefeng was recalling Lao Yang’s words. Li Huaide proposed at the factory office meeting that the vehicle factory and the steel rolling plant be separated into a separate independent factory. He also pointed out that taking the road of trust is the only way for the vehicle factory to become professional. Only by following the correct path of nationalization can we better serve national construction.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the factory-level leaders of the steel rolling mill immediately started talking about it. Li Huaide once again pointed out that cooperation with Jinan is actually an attempt based on the trust model. Everyone has seen the effect, and it is indeed beneficial to the entire industry. The promotion of the project has played a good role in promoting the project. He expressed his admiration for Lao Yang's vision and repeatedly expressed his support for Lao Yang's exploration of the trust model.
Lao Yang was a little restless for a while. Of course he knew about the fumbling of the trust model, but he did not consider this when he proposed to unite with Jinan. In fact, it did conform to the prototype of the trust model, but Lao Yang I am also confused. How to appease the more than 10,000 workers in the steel rolling mill after finally hatching a golden chicken and dividing it up like this.
In order to support the vigorous development of the vehicle factory, the rolling mill has invested heavily. Especially six months ago, hundreds of technical and production management personnel were transferred to support technical research and production management, which enabled the vehicle factory to explode again and develop rapidly.
Zhu Xuefeng is not clear about this period of history. He only knows that in the textbooks when he was a child, trusts represent the monopoly model of capitalism. He does not know anything else. However, since the country is experimenting and exploring, there should be lessons worth learning from. Good thing, specialization and standardization can indeed give strong impetus and development to the industry.
In the end, Zhu Xuefeng couldn't answer Lao Yang's question. He could only say that this was not something that could be determined in a short time. The superiors had not requested it yet, and the promotion from the bottom up would not be too fast. We can learn more about it. Before making a decision, let Lao Yang seek the advice of Vice Minister Chen.
"Brother, what are you thinking about? There is a big truck ahead!"
The younger sister felt that the speed of the car seemed to be very slow. She looked up in surprise, but saw that her elder brother seemed to be distracted, not far ahead. There is a truck struggling to climb the hill. Please remind me quickly.
"Oh, I know, aren't you slowing down?"
Zhu Xuefeng quickly recovered his thoughts and drove seriously. Fortunately, his little sister reminded him, otherwise he would have to hit him before he could react, but he would never admit it in his mouth. .
"Oh, brother, just don't be distracted."
The little girl didn't say much, and lowered her head to play with Xiao Hei again. Zhu Xuefeng's face turned red, and the emotional little sister realized that she was distracted.
"Big Brother thought of something and got distracted. Big Brother is wrong. Big Brother should change it."
"Brother, what were you doing the past few days? My two sisters didn't talk about you, right?" The younger sister didn't worry about what her elder brother was thinking, but she was more concerned about the fact that she didn't come back two days ago.
"I encountered something and had a drink with some friends. By the way, little sister, after we finish our senior year of high school, I will find you a good university abroad. How about you just study abroad?"< br>
Zhu Xuemei shook her head from behind, "No, I have already thought about it. I will go to school in Beijing and go to Tongji. Our teacher said that as long as I maintain my current grades, there will be no problem."
Zhu Xuefeng shook his head, there was no other way, let’s talk about it then, or else wait until the younger sister goes to college and then look for opportunities.
Unknown to Zhu Xuefeng, a jeep behind him was also talking about Vice Minister Chen. "Yes, the jeep in front belongs to Secretary Liu from the old steel rolling mill, and the one further ahead should be left by Secretary Chen. I don't know who is driving in front, but he actually drove this car out."
"Brother Marco, do you want us to chase him and see who it is?" the driver of the jeep asked.
Brother Ma shook his head, "It's not necessary. Let's work for Director Guo this time. Don't get into trouble. Drive your car steadily, rush to the place, and arrange everything. This time the Director will come out to do things. , I don’t want people to know, so keep a low profile.”
If Zhu Xuefeng saw these two people, he would definitely be in a big surprise. These two people were the Chief Ma and the policeman from Xizhimen Railway Station who had a dispute with him. He Facheng was supposed to stay in prison, but he was released somehow.
The ravine is indeed a good place to escape the summer heat, and it is also suitable for Zhu Xuefeng to recuperate his body. In the hot summer, the second uncle is reluctant to let him work in the fields. The key is that there is no work to do now, so he occasionally helps in the field harvesting. When I order cantaloupe or pick some vegetables, my second aunt knocks me back.
"Xiao Feng, you are a foreign student now and you are precious. Don't do such rough work. Just accompany Xiaomei to the mountains."
"Second Aunt, look at what you said, I am still your eldest nephew. Just do whatever you have to do, we are mountain people, we can't forget our roots, don't say that again, I can't bear to say that," Zhu Xuefeng said with a smile, it would not sound good if people say that he has forgotten his roots.
"That's right, my brother is not that squeamish. And, second aunt, my brother is an international student, not a foreign student." The little girl reminded her seriously, which made everyone laugh.
"Whether they are international students or foreign students, they are famous in our area anyway. Everyone says that they are specially trained by the country, which is not expensive."
No matter In other words, the second uncle and second aunt would never let them go to the fields again, even though they didn't have much life.
"Xiao Feng, you don't need to go to the fields to help today. You can take a few of the little ones to go for a walk in the mountains. It rained just the day before yesterday. There should be a lot of wild vegetables. Pick some and bring them back. Auntie will make wild vegetable dumplings for you."
"Brother, let's go, I haven't eaten wild vegetable dumplings for a long time." The younger sister became interested as soon as she heard this. The three brothers and sisters all like to eat wild vegetable dumplings. The so-called wild vegetable dumplings are actually wild vegetables in stick bread, although they are not valuable. , but the taste is really good, it is difficult to have the opportunity to eat it in the city.
"Nacheng, if you go farther today, the mountains near here may have been picked off long ago."
When the younger brothers and sisters heard that they were going into the mountains, they were also very excited. After a large-scale raid in 2016, no ferocious beasts have been seen, but my parents still refused to let me go. Without an adult to accompany me, it is easy to get lost in this deep mountain, so it will be no problem if I have my elder brother with me.
"Hongying, get a few more bags, Weiguo, you get the machete, Weihua, you are too young, just follow me."
Zhu Xuemei honestly and politely assigned tasks to her three younger siblings. She followed with Xiao Hei happily. Zhu Xuefeng smiled and led his younger siblings into the mountain.
There are many small animals. You can see little squirrels jumping on the trees at any time. They stand on the branches and look curiously at the intruding humans. They are not afraid. Then there are hares and hedgehogs, and the occasional Snakes and pheasants.
Several younger brothers and sisters were excitedly searching in front. Zhu Xuefeng was hanging in the back. Several eagles had been released quietly. It was a rare opportunity to practice the "Eagle Eye Technique" with their master.
The harvest from the nearby hills was indeed very small, and it had indeed been cleaned up by the village children. The group of people walked into the mountains. Xiao Hei had disappeared. Xiao Hei, who had been strengthened again, had no wild beasts in this area. In the mountains, we are at the top of the food chain, so there is nothing to worry about.
Zhu Xuefeng held a bamboo leaf in his mouth and whistled from time to time, admiring the beautiful scenery of the mountains. Occasionally he picked some wild vegetables that had slipped through the net. It may be that the rainwater brought by the flood last year was absorbed by the mountains, or it may be that the rainwater brought by the flood last year was absorbed by the mountains. It was the light rain the day before yesterday that woke up the mountains. The mountains seemed full of life. A few small pits that were usually dry still had a little bit of water. Unfortunately, there were no traces of animals coming in and drinking water. They were really cleaned up.
After climbing a few mountains, Zhu Xuefeng got an extra hare in his hand. This was Xiao Hei's achievement. Unfortunately, after harvesting a hare, Xiao Hei was unwilling to hunt anymore no matter how tempted the little sister was. Cats, this is not its business scope. If you can catch one, you will be forced to do so by the owner. The once again strengthened Xiao Hei no longer despises hares.
"Brother, Xiao Hei is getting lazier and lazier. He is getting bigger, so is his spectrum." The younger sister pouted, losing the joy of harvesting hares and the pride of her younger brothers and sisters. .
"Okay, it is a cat after all, not a dog. Have you ever seen anyone hunting with a cat? Let's go. There are a lot of wild vegetables here. Pick more. Let's ask the second aunt to make a lot of wild vegetable dumplings for us to eat. I can’t take it back.”
The younger sister let Xiao Hei go and happily took her younger brothers and sisters to hunt for treasures. There should be very few people here. All kinds of wild vegetables are everywhere, such as wild onions and wild garlic. Monkey's leg, bracken, mountain spinach, cucumber fragrant, day lily, mountain lily, etc., there are many varieties, countless.
These wild vegetables are served cold, stir-fried, and pickled. They are all delicacies that you will never tire of eating. There are not many vegetables in the winter in the north, so there is a tradition of making dried vegetables. If these wild vegetables are processed into dried vegetables and stored, they will be beautiful to enjoy in winter. They can also be used as gifts to relatives and friends in future generations, which can also be regarded as rare and precious gifts.
"Come on, come on, Hongying, I found a treasure. There are wild vegetables down here."
The younger sister stood on a big rock again, pointed at the slope below and shouted, several brothers Naturally, the younger sister happily obeyed the call of "Third Sister". The joy of finding good things in the mountains made them lose track of time and unknowingly packed two large bags, which weighed almost thirty kilograms.
"Brother, there are too many of these. There is no shortage of vegetables in the vegetable garden at home. I really have to carry them all." Zhu Weiguo, the fourth child, looked at the two bags of wild vegetables in fear and couldn't help but remind him that this time we are going to Take him to take over.
"That's right, hey, I couldn't help but pick it up when I saw it. I accidentally got so much. Let's go, I will carry it later."
Zhu Xuefeng couldn't help but be happy. , the mountains are full of treasures, especially this place where people in the mountains have rarely been. My younger brothers and sisters are very quick with their hands and feet. There are all kinds of wild vegetables all over the mountains and plains, which makes people want to stop. If you are not careful, you will have a good harvest.
"Brother, let me do it. My mother said, I will do this rough work. Brother Jingui, brother, I have a lot of strength." The fourth child is actually only 160 now, just turned 16, and is a bit shorter than the younger sister. These two Things got a little better at home in 2011. He was not as skinny as before, but seemed to have gained some weight.
"Jin Gui, you are so tall, you don't need it." Zhu Xuefeng gave the fourth child a slap in the face honestly and politely, and the fourth child covered his head and giggled.
"You should go with your third sister and the others to find some more fun stuff."
The fourth child naively took a small rope and tied the two bags together. , connected to a rope, put it on your shoulders as soon as you turn over, and hang it from both ends forward and backward without worrying about the tightness of your shoulders. It is really stupid.
“Brother, it’s not serious, I’ll do it.”
Zhu Xuefeng looked at this fourth brother and smiled. He had a good temper and pointed to the hilltop not far away. "Let's go there and have a look. If we are lucky, there should be a lot of hazelnut and mountain mushrooms."
