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 have worked outside for a year and never come back. They have to carry all the money, buy a train ticket with the salary they have saved for a year, and count on their fingers with the joy of returning home and look 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 told him stories 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 falling..."

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 despite 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 forward one step 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... her body was cold. !”

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 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 pay their respects. The baby girl's family members 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 soothe the military soul."

Of course, he was not just talking. He really picked a day and went to Huxi Village with his friends. He found the stone tablet that was still cleaned even after ten years. He earnestly explained his admiration for Comrade Tang Le in front of the stone tablet.

The children had a lot to say to Comrade Tang Le. Each of them spoke for half an hour and left reluctantly after several hours.

Because of Comrade Tang Le, they knew more about the infrastructure engineering team.

For the infrastructure engineering team, there are too many comrades like Comrade Tang Le who died in the process of carrying out the mission. It is so difficult to open the road in Zhongzhou now, not to mention 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 illness, hardship, acclimatization, and danger, countless young comrades died along the way.

Whenever Comrade Tang Le was mentioned, everyone would always repeat the difficulties of the infrastructure engineering soldiers. This led to Song Yao always worrying about whether they would also sacrifice when he heard that the infrastructure engineering soldiers were doing this project.

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

But Song Yao from the medical team still strongly requested to prepare everything.

This New Year, not only the infrastructure engineers, but all the people involved in this project basically can't celebrate the New Year. Even Song Yao, he has to go to the site to guide after the foundation is built.

Time is urgent. It is impossible for the engineering team to work there without celebrating the New Year, and Song Yao, the first person in charge, has to go there slowly after the New Year.

The infrastructure engineers can endure so much hardship, but he just doesn't celebrate the New Year at home. The child still feels that he hasn't done enough.

When they heard that Song Yao would celebrate the New Year on the construction site, the Song family was stunned.

This is the first time that Song Yao has not celebrated the New Year at home since he grew up.

However, Song's father quickly responded: "Okay, we can celebrate many New Years in the future, but there are five engineering teams, where will you celebrate?"

Song Yao was not very sure: "It depends on the situation. I will go to each engineering team one by one. I will celebrate the New Year in whichever engineering team I am in."

"Okay, I will go to the county to buy you more snacks today. I don't let you eat too much at other times, but now it's the New Year, so you can eat more."

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

He also secretly told his father: "Buy me more of the one you used last time, which is the one Wang Duo likes the most."

Song's father nodded: "Okay, then I will buy more for Wang Duo too."

Song Yao quickly stopped him, grinning: "Dad, you can't buy more for Wang Duo. If you buy it for him, why will he come to ask me for help?"

Song's father: "..."

He rejected his good son's request speechlessly.

It's okay for the two children to play tricks on each other for snacks, but he is an adult, how can he get involved.

Song Yao didn't get his father's support, but he was not discouraged. He raised his little chin and walked away aggressively with an attitude of "I can still win without you".

After a while, Wang Duo came again sneakily.

"Uncle Song, buy me more of the snacks from last time, which is the one that the youngest child likes the most..."

Song's father: "..."

He rejected Wang Duo's request again speechlessly.

The children were already in a "life-and-death" posture in the battle for snacks, but when they worked seriously, they still had a tacit understanding. They just finished quarreling and then got together to discuss with each other.

The team set off again, this time the team was longer, and they went to the nearest earthquake prediction machine in a mighty manner.

But this time they were no longer leisurely. They were in a hurry all the way. The car was bumpy. Wang Duo was carsick and didn't want to continue fighting with Song Yao. He leaned against the car window like a salted fish every day.

Now it was Song Yao's turn to worry. While rushing on the road, he was still busy making carsickness medicine.

They were in a hurry and didn't bring many medicinal materials, let alone Western medicine, and even Chinese medicine was not much. They could only take them when passing through the city, or if they were lucky, they could see various medicinal plants along the way.

Song Yao was learning in the course while trying to make it. Before the first earthquake prediction machine construction site arrived, he actually made a motion sickness pill.

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

"Little boy, you want me to eat this?"

Song Yao looked at the rather large black pill, and then at Wang Duo's mouth that seemed unable to fit it at all, and coughed guiltily:

"You cut it up and eat it, I didn't ask you to swallow it whole."

Wang Duo: "... I should not have to eat lunch after eating this pill, right?"

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

"Compared to taking medicine as a meal, you don't want to get carsick, right?"

Wang Duo thought about it and it was true.

Although this pill was ridiculously large and scary black, and the whole body was full of the message "I am a counterfeit product", but out of trust in Song Yao, he finally cut it into small pieces and ate it piece by piece.

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

An hour later, when they drove again, Wang Duo was no longer dizzy, and finally he could lie by the window with his friends to enjoy the scenery and discuss and study.

It was just a little full.

On the third day, they finally arrived.

From a distance, you can see many engineers working hard. It was still very cold, but they were sweating and waving their tools to build this "high-rise" that had been a bit large for a while.

Military vehicles drove in one after another, and were allowed to pass after showing their identity cards. Song Yao and his friends saw tents, and they would rest and sleep in these tents for a while.

The smell of food wafted in, and it should be time for dinner.

The children seemed to be full of energy forever. They had been traveling for such a long time, but they could still run around happily as soon as they arrived.

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

"It's much better than I thought."

"Of course, do you know how much the snow penguin costs?"

"It seems that S country also wants to buy snow penguins, but only ordinary people are asking for them, and their government has not said anything at all."

Before, Zhongzhou and S country both sent rescue teams to J country for rescue.

The rescue team of S country watched the Zhongzhou rescue team driving the warm and easy-to-drive snow penguin car, wearing helmets that can prevent frostbite and protect themselves, and using the effective frostbite cream given by the government for free.

It is obvious that Zhongzhou has really controlled the snow disaster situation.

In contrast, their own country.

Under the urging of the public, they began to arrange rescue, but the speed was as slow as a snail, not as fast as the rescue team organized by the people.

Zhongzhou is very backward in the eyes of many foreigners, but such a backward country, when the disaster occurred, the whole country helped each other and rescued countless victims at the fastest speed.

Although J country was not as fast as Zhongzhou, it was willing to spend a huge amount of money to buy various relief supplies from Zhongzhou and try its best to rescue the trapped people.

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

They were saving citizens of other countries here, but no one saved citizens of their own country.

After the rescue team returned home, the media began to criticize the government, and Zhongzhou also made a good impression in the international community because of this "positive example".

Many people in J country envied the people of Zhongzhou, because the frostbite cream that was extremely expensive in J country was used by soldiers for free in Zhongzhou.

A crisis has now turned into an opportunity for Zhongzhou.

Song Yao looked at the very good food and sighed:

"Our Zhongzhou will develop better and better now. I believe that Comrade Tang Le's tragedy will never happen again."

The friends who went to pay tribute to Comrade Tang Le all looked solemn and nodded heavily.

"Swear to Comrade Tang Le!"

A voice came from behind: "Are you here with the engineers?"

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

When they turned their heads, they saw a man about thirty years old with a bright smile.

He was wearing a military uniform, his face was sweaty, and his helmet was covered with dust. He was obviously an infrastructure engineer.

Song Yao relaxed and smiled: "Yes, uncle, you have worked hard."

The man was a little curious: "Oh, good boy, you still know how to say hard work."

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 also from Xinghe County?"

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

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

"You are about eight or nine years old this year? You were not born at that time."

Ah!

Xinghe County welcomed infrastructure engineers only ten years ago. Doesn't that mean that this uncle went to the road construction ten years ago?

Song Yao, who had always admired the engineers, was instantly excited.

He approached him and pulled his hand, wanting to shake hands with him: "I heard my family talk about your deeds at that time. Uncle, I have to shake hands with you."

He was so enthusiastic that the man was a little confused, but being welcomed was of course a good thing. He was still very 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 then introduced himself enthusiastically: "Haha, I seem to have some impression. Is your father a gossiper? 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: "... Le Le Le..."

"Yes, yes, that's Tang Le. Haha, your elders may have sung with me. Although I can only sing the national anthem, I sing it 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 a hurry and didn't have time to say goodbye. I only had time to leave a message saying that I left first."

Comrade Tang Le became happier and happier as he spoke:

"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 uniformly.

"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!!"
