Chapter 157 (Chapter 157 (updated on the 24th...)

The New Year is coming, and at this time in previous years, everyone in Central Continent was already preparing to welcome the New Year.

Children like Song Yao don't have to worry about this, they can just concentrate on their own projects.

Grandma Song and Grandpa Song are already very busy, and so are everyone in the village. There are many people going up and down the mountain every day, all going to prepare New Year's goods.

Those who went out to work and go to school began to return to their hometowns.

Especially those who worked outside for a year and never came back. They spent all their money to buy a train ticket with the salary they had saved for a year, counting their fingers with the joy of returning home and looking forward to it every day.

This year's New Year is destined to be busy for many infrastructure engineering soldiers.

When Song Yao heard that this project was being carried out by the infrastructure engineering corps, his first reaction was: "We must send more medical teams there."

He had never seen the infrastructure engineering soldiers. He was not yet born when the road was first opened and built on the Xinghe County Avenue. Song's father had seen him. When Song Yao was telling stories to him when he was a child, he also told stories about the infrastructure engineering soldiers. .

This is a special branch of the military. Although it is also a soldier, it is mainly engaged in engineering. After its construction, most of the infrastructure construction in Central Continent was completed by them.

Geology, transportation, national defense, hydrology, hydropower, construction, coal, and even emergency infrastructure engineering troops are working on it. 【1】

When the adults in Dashu Village tell stories, they often tell stories about an infrastructure engineering soldier named Tang Le.

Without him, he embodies the qualities most admired by the people of Central Continent.

Hard-working, hard-working, kind, optimistic, and tragic.

Tang Le was a soldier who stepped forward in the most critical moment and saved a young girl with his life. In the end, the girl was successfully sent to the hospital and rescued, but he was buried forever in the mountains.

Song Yao and his friends became addicted after listening to it once. They often sat in a row and asked the elders to tell them the story of Tang Le, an infrastructure engineer.

Every time I listen to it, tears will flow down my face.

Song’s father’s narration always begins with Song Yao just being put into his stomach:

"That year, Yao'er's mother had just become pregnant with Yao'er. At that time, every household did not have enough to eat. The infrastructure engineering soldiers came to Xinghe County to pass the road. They were all very young and loved to laugh and make trouble. Some local people did I gave it to them, but they didn’t want it.”

"Everything was fine at first, but suddenly there was a heavy rain in Xinghe County. It rained for three days and three nights. It was like the sky was about to collapse..."

Grandpa Song’s narration was relatively concise: “There was a mudslide in Huxi Village, your second aunt’s village, which destroyed many houses and trapped many people. The road construction troops got the news and came to support in the heavy rain. "

"They rescued a little girl. The road was blocked at that time. The medical team had to be transferred from other places and couldn't get there. Seeing that she was about to die, Comrade Tang Le and his comrades took her to the hospital. On the way, the comrades were injured. He couldn't move forward after being hit by a stone, so he could only settle down with his comrades and continue on his way."

Grandpa Seven: "There were thunder and lightning and heavy rain. The rain hitting his face completely blocked the sight in front of him. Comrade Tang Le couldn't see the way forward. He could only hold the girl and fumble along one foot at a time."

"It was so cold at that time, it was raining and windy, and he was already very tired. He even took off his military uniform and covered it with the girl to protect her from the wind and rain. The girl later said that the road was difficult. "Comrade Tang Le fell down many times along the way, but every time she fell, he protected her tightly and didn't let her touch the ground."

"The girl was bleeding too much and wanted to sleep, so Comrade Tang Le sang to her, the national anthem. But when they were about to reach the county, the foot of the mountain collapsed again, burying them inside."

Grandpa Seven wiped away his tears, looked at the children who were already crying and couldn't help themselves, and sighed deeply: "It is said that when the troops dug them out, Comrade Tang Le still protected the female doll tightly. sp;"Woooooooooooo..."

Song Yao and Zhao Xiaodong hugged each other and cried together.

Zhou Yi and Wang Hua were not much better. Even though they had heard this story many times, they still couldn't help but burst into tears every time they heard it.

Song Yao sobbed: "Where is Comrade Tang Le's body buried? I want to see it."

Grandpa Seven shook his head and sighed: "Were you taken away by the troops? We were all so busy at that time, but finally calmed down. The girl also woke up, saying that she had woken up several times at that time, and Comrade Tang Le... was all cold. !”

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Comrade Tang Le is so pitiful..."

Song Yao and his friends cried together again.

"The baby girl's family asked, and the medical team said that Comrade Tang Le left a message, saying that he should take the first step. Hey, the infrastructure engineering soldiers have left, and everyone can't worship. The baby girl's family asked Comrade Tang Le erected a monument."

"Later, this matter spread. When passing by that monument, everyone would stop and say goodbye if they had anything to do. If you want to go, just go and say goodbye. He will definitely be very happy when he sees that you are so promising at such a young age. Gratified."

Song Yao's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she nodded repeatedly:

"Grandpa Qi, don't worry. I will definitely pay homage! I will definitely go and pay homage. I also want to tell Comrade Tang Le that we will work hard to build Zhongzhou into a better place to appease the military soul."

Of course, he was not just talking about it. He actually chose a day and went to Huxi Village with his friends. He found the stone monument that had still been cleaned even after ten years. He looked seriously in front of the stone monument. He elaborated on his admiration for Comrade Tang Le.

The children wanted to say a lot to Comrade Tang Le. One of them talked for half an hour, and then left reluctantly after several hours.

Because of Comrade Tang Le, their understanding of the infrastructure engineering team increased.

For the infrastructure engineering team, there are too many comrades like Comrade Tang Le who have sacrificed their lives while carrying out their tasks. It is so difficult to open roads in Zhongzhou now, let alone ten years ago.

In such a harsh environment and backward technology at that time, the only thing everyone could do was to work hard. Because of disease, hardship, acclimatization, and danger, countless young comrades sacrificed their lives along the way.

Whenever Comrade Tang Le is mentioned, everyone always talks about the difficulties of the infrastructure engineering soldiers again. This leads Song Yao to always worry about whether they will also suffer sacrifices when he hears that the infrastructure engineering soldiers are doing this project.

But when I think about it, it is no longer ten years ago, and the conditions are not as difficult as before, I can still feel a little calmer.

However, the medical team Song Yao still strongly requested to prepare all the supplies.

Not only the infrastructure engineering soldiers, but also everyone involved in this project will not be able to celebrate the New Year. Even Song Yao has to go to the site to provide guidance after the foundation is laid.

Time is urgent, and the engineering team cannot work there until the New Year. Song Yao, the first person in charge, has to wait until the New Year before leaving.

The comrades of the infrastructure engineering soldiers can endure so much hardship, but they are just not at home to celebrate the New Year, and the children still feel that they have not done enough.

The Song family was stunned when they heard that Song Yao would spend the New Year at the construction site.

Song Yao has grown up, and this is the first time he has not spent the Chinese New Year at home.

But Song’s father quickly responded: “That’s okay, we can celebrate many more New Years in the future, but with five engineering teams, where will you spend them?”

Song Yao was not sure either: "It depends on the situation. I want to go through each engineering team one by one. I will be in whichever engineering team I spent the New Year's Day."

"Okay, I'll go to the county to buy you some more snacks today. I don't let you eat more usually. Now it's the New Year, so feel free to eat more."

Song Yao's eyes instantly lit up when he heard the snacks.

He also secretly went to tell his father: "Buy me more of the one from last time, which is Wang Duo's favorite."

Father Song nodded: "Okay, then I'll buy more for Wang Duo."

Song Yao quickly stopped him and smiled evilly: "Dad, you can't buy more for Wang Duo. If you bought it for him, why would he come to beg me?"

Dad Song: "..."

He speechlessly rejected his good son's request.

Forget about the two children going back and forth for snacks, he is an adult, how can he get involved.

Song Yao didn't get any support from her father, but she wasn't discouraged. She raised her chin and walked away aggressively with an attitude of "I can still win without you."

After a while, Wang Duo sneaked in again.

"Uncle Song, help me buy more of that snack from last time, which is Yao'er's favorite..."

Dad Song: "..."

He again speechlessly rejected Wang Duo's request.

The children were already in a "life or death" attitude when it came to the fight for snacks, but when they started working seriously, they still had a perfect tacit understanding. As soon as they finished their quarrel, the two brothers came together to discuss the matter.

The convoy set off again, this time longer, heading towards the nearest earthquake prediction machine.

But this time they were no longer leisurely. They were in a hurry along the way, and the vehicle was bumpy. Wang Duo was motion-sick and had no intention of continuing to fight with Song Yao. He leaned against the car window like a salted fish every day.

Now it was Song Yao's turn to worry, and while he was on the road, he enthusiastically started making motion sickness medicine.

They were on their way, so they didn't bring much medicinal materials, not to mention Western medicine, and not much Chinese medicine. They could only replenish it when passing through the city, or sometimes they were lucky enough to see various medicinal plants scattered along the road.

While Song Yao was studying in the course, he was groping for making it. Before the first earthquake prediction machine arrived at the construction port, he actually made a motion sickness pill.

He boiled it in a small pot along the way, and finally rolled it into pills. He put it in the palm of the child's hand, which was big enough to cover it. Wang Duo was so dizzy that he couldn't open his eyes. When he saw the "motion sickness pill" handed over by Song Yao, Medicine", his eyes widened instantly.

"Yao'er, you want me to eat this?"

Song Yao looked at the rather large black pill, and then at Wang Duo's mouth that seemed to be unable to fit anything in, and coughed dryly with a guilty conscience:

"You cut it open and eat it, and I don't want you to swallow it whole."

Wang Duo: "...If I take this one, I won't have to have lunch, right?"

Song Yao felt even more guilty, but he was still very confident in the effect of the medicine he made, so he spoke very plausibly:

"You don't want to get car sick more than taking the medicine as food, right?"

Wang Duo thinks about it too.

Although the pill was ridiculously big, frighteningly dark, and filled with the message "I am a fake and shoddy product", out of his trust in Song Yao, he finally cut it into small pieces and ate them piece by piece. Go down.

Facts have proved that the things made by Song Yao may not necessarily look good, but the effect must be great.

When we drove again an hour later, Wang Duo was no longer dizzy, and she could finally lie by the window with her friends to enjoy the scenery and discuss study.

Just a bit supportive.

On the third day, they finally arrived.

From a distance, you can see many engineering soldiers working hard. In the cold weather, they are sweating profusely, waving their tools, and building this "tall building" that has been quite large for some time.

Military vehicles drove in one after another and were released after showing their identity certificates. Song Yao and the others saw tents, and they would rest and sleep in these tents for the next period of time.

The smell of rice is coming, it should be almost time to eat.

The children seem to be always full of energy. Even though they have been traveling for such a long time, they can still run around happily as soon as they arrive.

After looking at the food of the engineering team and the medical team also stationed in the tent, the children who had been worried about the engineering team were relieved.

"It's much better than I imagined."

"Of course, do you know how much the Snow Penguin will cost in exchange for it?"

"It seems that Country S also wants to buy snow penguins, but it's just ordinary people saying they want it, and their government hasn't said anything at all."

Previously, both Zhongzhou and Country S sent rescue teams to dive into Country J for rescue.

The rescue team in country S watched helplessly as the Central Continent rescue team drove a snow penguin vehicle that was warm and easy to travel, wore helmets that could prevent frostbite and protect themselves, and used the chilblain cream distributed free of charge by the government, which was very effective.

I think it is true that Zhongzhou has controlled the snowstorm situation.

Look at their own country.

Under the urging of the public, rescue teams began to be arranged, but the speed was like a snail, not as fast as the rescue teams organized by the private sector.

Zhongzhou is very backward in the eyes of many foreigners, but for such a backward country, the whole country helped when disasters occurred and rescued countless victims as quickly as possible.

Although country J is not as fast as Zhongzhou, it is still willing to spend huge sums of money to purchase various relief supplies from Zhongzhou and make every effort to rescue the trapped people.

The members of the country S rescue team saw this and naturally felt uncomfortable.

They are here to save the citizens of other countries, but no one saves the citizens of their own country.

After the rescue team returned to China, the media began to criticize the government. Because of this "positive example", Zhongzhou also showed its face in the international community.

Many people in Country J are envious of their Zhongzhou people, because the chilblain cream, which is extremely expensive in Country J, is given to soldiers for free in Zhongzhou.

A crisis has now turned into an opportunity for Central Continent.

Song Yao looked at the very good food and sighed:

"Our development in Zhongzhou will be getting better and better now. I believe that the tragedy of Comrade Tang Le will not happen again."

The friends who had all gone to pay homage to Comrade Tang Le all looked solemn and nodded heavily.

"Swear to Comrade Tang Le!"

A voice came from behind: "You came with the engineer, right?"

The children were immersed in blood and passion, and when a voice suddenly came out, they were all startled and turned around quickly.

Turning his face, he saw a man in his thirties with a cheerful smile.

He was wearing a military uniform, with sweat on his face and gray on his helmet. He was obviously an infrastructure engineering soldier.

Song Yao relaxed and smiled: "Yes, hello uncle, thank you for your hard work."

The man was a little surprised: "Hey, good boy, you still know how hard you worked."

He glanced at the hat on Song Yao's head: "This is a hat from Xinghe County. Are you from Xinghe County?"

Song Yao's eyes lit up: "Uncle, are you from Xinghe County too?"

People who are not familiar with Xinghe County generally don’t know the local hats in Xinghe County.

The man smiled and shook his head: "I'm not, but I just joined the army and went there before on a mission. The fellow villagers there were so enthusiastic. Thinking about it now, I still miss it. It's a pity that I left in a hurry. I must go back and see if I have the chance. them."

"You are about eight or nine years old this year, right? You weren't born yet at that time."

ah!

Xinghe County also welcomed the infrastructure engineering corps ten years ago. Doesn't that mean that this uncle had been there for the road construction ten years ago?

Song Yao, who had longed to admire the engineering soldiers, was instantly excited.

He leaned forward to hold the other person's hand in a familiar manner and wanted to shake his hand: "I heard my family talk about your deeds at that time. Uncle, I have to shake your hand."

He was so enthusiastic that the man was a little confused, but of course it was a good thing to be welcomed. He was still happy to shake hands with Song Yao.

Song Yao introduced himself: "My name is Song Yao, from Dashu Village, Xinghe County. Song Youcai is my father. Uncle, do you know him?"

The man introduced himself enthusiastically: "Haha, I seem to have an impression. Isn't your father cute and gossiping? He often hangs out with old men and old ladies."

"By the way, I'm from Changle City. My name is Tang Le. You can just call me Uncle Tang."

Song Yao: "...Tang Tang Tang..."

Friends: "...Lelele..."

"Yes, yes, it's Tang Le. Haha, your elders may have sung with me. Although I can only sing the national anthem, I can sing very well."

"Hey, I don't know if they still remember me. Unfortunately, I was injured and transferred to the military hospital. I left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to say goodbye. I only had time to leave a message saying that I was leaving first."

Comrade Tang Le became happier the more he talked:

"But I think I'm still popular. Maybe they haven't forgotten me. Comrades, are you from Xinghe County? Has anyone mentioned me to you? Have they said that I sang the national anthem with great vigor?"

Song Yao: "..."

Other children: "..."

At this moment, the children finally reacted belatedly.

They looked at Comrade Tang Le's face full of eager anticipation, and the cleaned stone tablet popped up in their minds in unison.

"Well... they all remember you, and remember you very clearly."

Tang Le was overjoyed: "Really?!"

He was so happy: "Oh, I really have to find time to go back and take a look. Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. Hey, why are you poking me?"

Zhao Xiaodong felt the temperature on his arm, looked at him carefully, and asked Song Yao quietly: "Didn't they say... it's cold?"

Wang Hua also whispered: "Yes, didn't they say it's cold if you touch it with your own hands?"

Song Yao has already reacted: "It was so cold, he gave his military uniform to others to wear, and he was bare-chested in the rain..."

"How can it not be cold!!"
