Chang Ning followed his grandfather since he was a child, and when he was wandering around for a living, he realized a truth by himself, blessing and misfortune are always closely interdependent and difficult to separate, and there is no free lunch in the world, like a gadfly that bites on the body of a scalper, only sucks in and does not spit out, it is absolutely impossible to have a good thing, at the same time, it is the beginning of paying, what do writers say, the end of the cloudless sky, the storm has been quietly bred, and the same is true of the struggle, you have temporarily taken advantage of this round, so, Then it's time for you to give.

Yesterday, Luo Tiegui and Chang Xuejun led a militia contingent of several hundred people, not only intercepted the supplies of the supply and marketing cooperatives, but also detained the grain transport teams of the two communes in the evening, a team composed of 130 oxen, a total of 26,000 catties based on the weight of a cow carrying 200 catties, and the two communes had a population of nearly 30,000 catties, which was a whole day's rations.

What's more, Luo Tiegui and Chang Xuejun resolutely carried out Chang Ning's instructions, acted overnight, mobilized militia and members to completely block the road to Baishui Commune, which is located in the jurisdiction of the Shiao Brigade nearly 200 meters of dangerous road, the ancestors carved out the path from the cracks in the stone with a hammer and an axe, the Shuiyang people are commonly known as "Stone Hutong", blocking here, the people of Baishui Commune and Haimen Commune can still go over the mountains and mountains, but the huge cattle and grain transport team is not thinking of coming and going.

Under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, Chang Ning sat cross-legged on the rattan chair like an old monk, closing his eyes a little proudly, swallowing clouds and spitting fog with a cigarette in his mouth.

This desk retired from the school usually looks crumbling, at the moment there is nothing on the table except a piece of paper, but this paper that everyone is looking at is particularly heavy, Yu Tinghua sat on the other side of the desk, he held on to his myopic glasses to concentrate, leaned over and read slowly:

"Comrade Chang Ning, Secretary of the Party Committee of Shuiyang Commune and Director of the Management Committee of the Commune: It is hereby scheduled for 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the three of us will make a special trip to Shuiyang Street to congratulate Your Excellency on his appointment as the number one leader of the party and government of Shuiyang Commune.

Chang Xuejun smiled happily, "Haha, it's time to ask the teacher to ask for guilt, but I really can't hold my breath, I thought they would have to stay up for three or five days." ”

Wang Shi pushed Chang Xuejun, "Lao Chang, Lao Chang, you two are really crazy, you can still laugh, this, this is not good to kill someone." ”

Chang Ning choked on the smoke and coughed a few times one after another, "Comrades, it's not too early, you go and rest, tomorrow everything will be as usual, do what you have to do, everyone rest assured, keep a normal heart, keep a normal heart, remember an unbreakable truth, the sky cannot fall, and the sun will still rise from the East China Sea tomorrow." ”

"Well, this and this, I'll assign everyone's work tomorrow," Chang Ning still closed his eyes, skillfully refilled a cigarette and continued, "Uncle, you have a heavy task tonight, I asked Xiao Wang and Xiao Dong to help you in the past, their leaders can salute first and then soldiers, but the people under them may not be able to calm down, so much food is placed in your brigade, you have to prevent them from stealing food in the second half of the night, hehe, by the way, strangle their telephone line to me, brothers fight, the family is ugly, there is no need for superiors to interfere." You and Comrade Du Qiulan, as well as your old good-looking Aunt Zhang, will give me a whole table of good wine and good food tomorrow, and the distinguished guests will come to the door, and the courtesy should be solemn, don't let people say that we Shuiyang people don't know how to be hospitable, Comrade Lao Yu, you and Dr. Yu will be responsible for transporting all the patients from all the teams to the commune from tomorrow, anyway, the school is empty, and gathering them together for treatment to ensure that no one dies in the commune, is the biggest victory of our drought relief work......"

For a long time, there was no sound in the office, Chang Ning opened his eyes and saw that Luo Tiegui was still sitting there, motionless, smiling and staring at him.

"Brothers in battle, fathers and sons in battle," Luo Tiegui said with a straight look, "From now on, I have decided to call you Xiao Chang, I will accompany you, and by the way, I will also learn from Xiao Chang's leaders." ”

"You have it, Lao Luo, of course, I still have to thank you," Chang Ning smiled lightly, "The dignified combat hero learns from me, a person who has never touched a gun, learn a fart, and let others laugh at you." ”

"Alas, I'm ashamed, the heroes don't mention the courage of the year, Brother Xiaochang, don't mention any combat heroes, those who died are the real combat heroes, those of us who are alive, it's a fart."

Chang Ning stared at Luo Tiegui and asked in a low voice: "Old Luo, I heard that the order for your regimental chief of staff to serve at that time had already arrived at the division headquarters, why?" Why did you kill those captives? ”

Luo Tiegui said: "That is, more than three years ago, when my battalion was retreating, I happened to pass by a small village, my instructor was a Beijinger, a young Xiucai in his early thirties, his parents were both soldiers, my good partner was a good brother, talent, he was in a battle, in order to cover me, both legs were injured...... At that time, I put him at the entrance of the village to look for water, and when I returned, he and the messenger and the three soldiers who were guarding the captives were all killed, and the enemy also brutally gouged out his eyes, and I 、、、、 that I couldn't live with him, and with his parents and his newlywed wife, and then the troops recaptured the seven prisoners alive, and the eleven villagers in the village, and after the interpreter asked if it was the villagers and the prisoners who did it together, I didn't think about anything, and personally picked up the machine gun and broke them all out......"

Slowly putting his hand on Luo Tiegui's broad shoulder, Chang Ning asked in a low voice, "Old Luo, have you ever regretted it?" ”

Luo Tiegui raised his head and smiled miserably: "Me? I never regret it, if I encounter that situation again, I Luo Tiegui will not hesitate to do it. ”

"Good brother, I recognize you as a big brother." Chang Ning said sincerely.

Wiping his eyes and holding Chang Ning's outstretched hand tightly, Luo Tiegui nodded and said, "Xiao Chang, so am I." ”

"Old Luo, if you have a chance in the future, you can tell me about the war," Chang Ning handed Luo Tiegui a cigarette, sat back on the rattan chair and said, "Now, you help me plan tomorrow's affairs, the so-called knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can survive a hundred battles, you have also been in this commune for two or three years, you should know some about these three guys." ”

"That's right, when this Cai Zhengxiang was a soldier, I was still his recruit squad leader," Luo Tiegui sat closer and said with a smile, "Leader, this is a long story, you can't let me do this, take it out quickly." ”

"Hehe, those who know me, Lao Luoye," Chang Le took two bottles of liquor from behind him as if he was juggling, "The old immortal's private warehouse, his mother is the one who opened it for me, come and come, one bottle per person, drink and talk." ”
