Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Snapped!

After the sound, Gu Siwei and Qiao Qisheng looked at the office door at the same time.

"Oh, we have guests. Let's talk. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Standing at the door was a man wearing a green military uniform and a red collar. He was not tall but very energetic. He had a square face with Chinese characters, thick eyebrows and big eyes. When he spoke, there were two small dimples on both sides of the corners of his mouth.

"Don't leave. Gu Siwei is not an outsider. Come in and talk. Gu Siwei, this is my comrade, Li Zhengda, who is now working in the army...".

Comrade? !

Gu Siwei's eyes scanned Qiao Qisheng's face and Li Zhengda's face several times, but in the end he still couldn't believe that these two people could be comrades-in-arms.

Is it possible that when he was a soldier, one was a leader and the other was a soldier?

Seeing the expression on Gu Siwei's face, Li Zhengda was happy. He felt that Gu Siwei did not hide his inner thoughts at all, so he explained with a smile: "Don't be surprised, people who heard it for the first time thought so. Many people They all thought I was his soldier. But the truth is exactly the opposite. He was my soldier when he was in the army. I was the one who made him cry when he joined the army..."

Seeing Qiao Qisheng letting him in directly, Li Zhengda understood that the young man in front of him had an unusual relationship with his comrade, so he spoke a little casually.

Li Zhengda looks young, and he is already in his forties, but he still looks like a face in his twenties. People look older when they look older, and he seems to have frozen his age.

Let alone comparing with Qiao Qisheng, even if Li Zhengda stood next to his son, others would not think of him as father and son, but as brothers. Most of them thought that his son was older and he was the younger brother.

Gu Siwei likes Li Zhengda's temperament, at least he seems cheerful now, and he is wearing a military uniform, which increases Gu Siwei's affection for him.

Gu Siwei has never been a soldier or entered a military camp. You can't say that he worships soldiers, but he supports his disciples from the bottom of his heart. No matter what you say, the relationship between soldiers and civilians with the surname of Lao Bai may be regarded as unique. , as for the occasional special case, we also learned from us.

"What are you talking about? It's you who's crying, why do you blame me for it?" Qiao Qisheng put down the phone in his hand and laughed.

After finishing speaking, he said to Gu Siwei: "I asked for you, this thing really happened, and the first batch of construction of the logging camp was over Xiangyang Village, all the way upstream along the river, and your place has not been moved yet. But if the logging camp continues to develop, it will definitely go to your side."

Listening to Qiao Qisheng's words, Gu Siwei's face showed a little tangle.

"What, what do you think?" Qiao Qisheng saw Gu Siwei's expression and asked one more question.

Gu Siwei smiled bitterly and said: "What do I have in mind? It doesn't matter if I say it. I'm just worried that if I really cut down these trees that have grown for hundreds or even thousands of years, I will wait until I think about it later." what to do?"

"What's so difficult about this? Just plant it again." Qiao Qisheng didn't understand. He thought it was very simple. If there are no trees, just plant them. What's there to say?

Gu Siwei said: "You have never thought about how much damage cutting down this area of ​​trees will cause to the natural environment and the living environment. It is totally a waste of gain, alas."

Qiao Qisheng didn't understand from the bottom of his heart. He didn't understand how his son, a silly master, cared about trees. How could he have time to care about trees now? The country's biggest problem was how to keep the people fed, not whether to plant trees or not.

In Qiao Qisheng's view, this tree must be cut down, and after cutting it down, it can be exchanged for the machinery that the country wants to develop. As for the impact on the environment, he naturally understands.

But we can’t just ignore the fact that something is not right, right? The two powers harm each other, whichever is the lesser. Before the development of the country and the people having enough to eat, everything, let alone trees, must give way.

However, he knew in his heart, but he had no way to explain to Gu Siwei that Qiao Qisheng had lived so long and already knew that it was very difficult to change someone's concept.

"What are you talking about?" Li Zhengda took off his hat at this time and put it on the small coffee table in front of the chair. He stretched his head to look for the kettle and asked casually while looking for it.

Qiao Qisheng said: "Gu Siwei came over to inquire about the construction of a logging camp here. I called and asked, and it is true. The documents will come in two days. There are mainly three people to build the logging camp, and one from The young people in the county will be selected from among the children from our factory, and the other third will be given to the surrounding villages."

"Little brother, if you want to be active, do it early. This opportunity is not easy to find."

Li Zhengda misunderstood. He thought that Gu Siwei wanted to arrange for family members to work in the factory. The correct understanding was that Li Zhengda thought that Gu Siwei came to Qiao Qisheng through the back door.

Qiao Qisheng said with a smile: "You are wrong about this. Gu Siwei didn't come to me for help, nor was he looking for a job. If he wanted an urban household registration, I would have applied for it for him long ago. It's a pity that people look down upon him. He's dead Don’t let go of your agricultural registered permanent residence.”

"oh!?"

Hearing this, Li Zhengda couldn't help taking a closer look at Gu Siwei, and then blurted out and asked: "Is the food in the countryside so good now? You can't tell that he looks like a country boy."

What are country kids like? The most obvious thing is that the sides of the cheeks turn a little black in the summer and a little red in the winter, and there are cracks on many faces. As for frostbite on the hands, that's normal.

But Li Zhengda saw that Gu Siwei had a handsome face and a tall body. Although his skin was not too delicate, it definitely didn't look like he was doing farm work. He didn't look like a farmer. Few young people in the village had the look of a young man in front of him. of.

"Just ask me about this. I couldn't be more clear about this."

After Li Zhengda looked at Gu Siwei, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket with a smile, took out one and threw it to Qiao Qisheng, and then gestured to Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei quickly refused: "Thanks, no."

"Do men still smoke?" Li Zhengda was a little surprised and looked at Gu Siwei with the same eyes he looked at monsters.

"Actually, smoking is not good." Gu Siwei smiled.

Li Zhengda said: "What's good? It's not good to listen to what doctors say. It won't work this way, and it won't work that way. What fun is there in life? Young people shouldn't always listen to doctors. Sometimes they can't trust their words too much."

Gu Siwei didn't say anything, just smiled.

"Then let's talk about the lumber mill. This is actually what happened." Li Zhengda explained the matter to Gu Siwei while smoking.

Gu Siwei felt that this matter was not very reliable, but even if he knew the ins and outs of the matter, would he still be able to change his decision?

"So that's it," Gu Siwei nodded.

"That's how it is. When we build a radar station here, we also need to use wood. The first batch of logging points is at the barracks we want to build," Li Zhengda said.

"Building a barracks? In the mountains?"

Gu Siwei was a little curious.

Li Zhengda smiled and said: "This matter is not a confidential matter. A radar station is going to be built in the mountains here. I am now the first head of the radar station."

"oh"

Gu Siwei was not very familiar with military matters, so he knew that a regiment commander was not as big as a brigade commander. As for how many people a regiment had, he didn't know.

He was not interested in asking, because it might involve confidentiality. Regardless of whether it was involved or not, he would not ask to save trouble.

"Where to build it? Which of the two plans has been approved?" Qiao Qisheng asked.

Li Zhengda said: "Maybe I can come to your place? Build it on Huwei Mountain over there."

"The road over there is not easy."

Gu Siwei knew where Huwei Mountain was as soon as he heard it. The place was not as dangerous as Yinsong Cliff where his family lived, but Huwei Mountain was very high, probably ten times higher than Gu Siwei's house.

"If it's easy to get around, we won't build there. We have to hide in this deep mountain and old forest. When the time comes, we will wait for Lao Chang's reconnaissance plane to come over and destroy it in one fell swoop. Grandma Te's bullying is too much." Li Zhengda patted the handrail and said fiercely said.

"Then what can we do? They are using American planes, let alone us. Even the guys in the hands of Da Maozi are not as good as others," Qiao Qisheng said.

Gu Siwei wore his ears and didn't express any opinions. In fact, he didn't have any opinions. It's normal for some reconnaissance planes to fly around in the sky. If other people's planes can pass by, your missiles can't reach them. That airspace doesn't belong to others. Is there a back garden?

Both of them were very angry when they mentioned this matter. Gu Siwei was very good. When he lived, we were already the second largest navy in the world. As for the air force and so on, Americans had no courage to rush into the airspace like now.

"When will work start?"

Qiao Qisheng asked here.

Li Zhengda said: "Whenever the work starts, if I come here, it means that the work has already started."

"You don't have anything and you start working right now?"

Li Zhengda patted his arm, then took off the cigarette from his mouth, puffed out a puff of smoke, and said confidently: "See, this is our tool!"

"The machines are also moved by humans?"

Gu Siwei was really curious now. In his mind, he had to get some helicopters and move the radar to Huwei Mountain. Did the person who came up with this idea not think about the actual situation?

"Of course we have to use people, but what should we do? There are some animals, but many things are not easy to move, so we can only use people to lift them up."

Gu Siwei was dumbfounded. The porters who had seen the scenic spots before felt that their lives were really hard. Now he heard Li Zhengda say that he and the soldiers had to move the radar station from the foot of the mountain with just a handful of strength in their arms. Going up the mountain, he felt it was incredible.

Seeing Gu Siwei's appearance, Qiao Qisheng smiled and said, "That's not surprising. We have no family and can only rely on brute strength."

Li Zhengda was a little confused and looked at his comrades in confusion.

Seeing that it was almost time, Gu Siwei stood up and said, "You two, let's talk. I understand the news. I'll take my leave now."

"Hey, don't go. Do you know what happened to the little piggy?"

"Okay, I understand." Gu Siwei nodded and began to thank him.

"There's nothing to thank you for. I also want to thank you for teaching Yitong. He's so proud now that he's spinning the machine so fast that the leader even praised him..." Qiao Qisheng said.

"You don't want to have anything to do with me. The main reason is that Qiao Yitong is studious," Gu Siwei said politely.

"You can't say that, he wouldn't be able to do this without you."

The two of them arrived at the door politely, and Qiao Qisheng watched Gu Siwei go downstairs before returning to his office.
