Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 3 The Arsenal in the Mountains

Teacher Li thought the song was very nice, but Niu Xiaoqiang felt that the song sounded drowsy. After not much effort, his eyelids started to fight and he fell asleep.

"Student Xiaoqiang, isn't this song good?" Teacher Li was just about to correct his homework, when he saw Niu Xiaoqiang's head up and down like a chicken pecking rice, he couldn't help asking.

Niu Xiaoqiang said stupidly: "It sounds sleepy..."

Teacher Li snorted, "In this case, teacher, please change to another disk."

This time it is Luo Dayou's childhood:
"On the banyan tree by the pond, robins are calling for summer, and on the swing by the playground, only butterflies rest on it..."

Teacher Li was correcting homework while listening to the song, but after not much effort, she found that Niu Xiaoqiang seemed a little restless.

Teacher Li was quite puzzled: "Sweet Honey" does have a hypnotic effect, but this song "Childhood" shouldn't be so?What's wrong with Niu Xiaoqiang?

"Student Xiaoqiang, what's wrong with you?"

"Old, teacher...I...I want to take a shit..."

Teacher Li was instantly scorched by Niu Xiaoqiang.

"Oh... oh, then you should go to the bathroom quickly."

"Old, teacher... I didn't bring any paper..."

"this is for you."

Teacher Li handed Niu Xiaoqiang an old newspaper, and seeing Niu Xiaoqiang rushing out of the office, she couldn't help but sighed with a wry smile: "It seems that only when going to the toilet, this child will not slow down. .”

After returning from the toilet, Teacher Li checked the injury and confirmed that there was nothing serious. She handed the net bag to Niu Xiaoqiang: "Student Xiaoqiang, please take this home."

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't know how to be polite at all, he nodded foolishly, and walked out of the office with his net bag in his hand.

Today is Saturday, and the school only has half-day classes, and other students have already gone home from school.

Niu Xiaoqiang walked down the stairs alone, looking at the canned food and candies in the net bag while walking, with longing in his eyes.

These days, the vast majority of the people are not rich, and it is good enough to be able to satisfy their food and clothing. Naturally, they have no spare money to buy snacks for their children, so the children are very greedy for snacks.

After Niu Xiaoqiang walked out of the school gate, he licked his lips. He turned his head to see that there was no one around, and muttered in a low voice, "Well...one... just eat one..."

After making a decision, Niu Xiaoqiang poked the candy bag with his index finger, and took out a hard fruit candy from it.

After tearing off the wrapping paper, a red candy was revealed inside.Niu Xiaoqiang carefully stuffed the candy into his mouth, and then a sweet and sour taste surged happily on his taste buds.

"It's really delicious..."

Niu Xiaoqiang sighed intoxicated, and then continued to walk forward.After he finished eating the candy, he struggled again.After a while, Niu Xiaoqiang muttered again: "Eat another one...I promise this is the last one..."

Once some things start, it is not so easy to stop.After tasting the sweet taste of candy, Niu Xiaoqiang fell completely.In the next half an hour, he licked and chewed eight more candies.

Every time he eats, he always says this is the last one.When he found out that the bag containing the candy had been visibly deflated, and it was impossible to hide it from his father no matter what, it was too late to regret it.

"It's over, Dad, Dad will definitely beat me to death... What should I do?"

Niu Xiaoqiang scratched his head in fear, and walked around in circles under the scorching sun.

Although he has long been used to being beaten, it is not that he is not afraid of being beaten, because even the most resistant person will feel pain when he is beaten.

After hesitating for a while, Niu Xiaoqiang made a decision.Instead of going home, he turned around and walked towards a valley a few miles away from Niujia Village.

There are many air-raid shelters built in this valley, and there is also a large arsenal, which was relocated from the outside when the "preparation for war and famine" was carried out.When Niu Xiaoqiang used to herd cattle, he went to play in the air-raid shelter more than once. He felt that he would never be able to return home, and it was the safest place to hide there.

Three quarters of an hour later, Niu Xiaoqiang sat stupidly at the entrance of the air-raid shelter, staring blankly at the small town below the valley.

This small town is the most prosperous place within a radius of dozens of miles. At the beginning, it was a dormitory area specially built for the employees of the arsenal.Due to the good welfare benefits of the arsenal, some discerning people came to do small business, so the place gradually became prosperous.With the subsequent continuous expansion, a relatively large town was finally formed.

Niu Xiaoqiang once had a dream, that is to be admitted to the technical school in the town. In this way, he can go to work in the arsenal, eat public rations to get paid, and buy any snacks he wants. It is said that there is a better place in the world than this. thing?

But now, he has already thrown this dream out of the sky, and replaced it with worry and fear about his end.

"Brother Xiaoqiang, what are you doing sitting here?"

When Niu Xiaoqiang was in a daze, a crisp voice sounded behind him.Niu Xiaoqiang was taken aback, turned his head and saw that he was an acquaintance, and then said in a low voice: "I, I... I came to enjoy the cool."

There was a cool breeze blowing at the entrance of the air-raid shelter, so what Niu Xiaoqiang said was appropriate.

"Huahua, you, why did you come here alone?"

Huahua's name is Niu Huahua. She is the same age as Niu Xiaoqiang, but was born two months later than him.The two are neighbors next door, and they get along relatively well, otherwise, judging from Niu Xiaoqiang's personality, it is absolutely impossible for him to take the initiative to ask questions.

People in the mountains are not so particular. Niu Huahua sat down beside Niu Xiaoqiang without even wiping off the dust on the ground: "I just went swimming in the river with Brother Xiaodong and the others."

The air-raid shelter runs through the entire mountain, connecting the front and back of the mountain.In front of the mountain is Aoshan Town, and behind it is Qingjiang.The Qingjiang River is a tributary of the Yangtze River. Although the water flow is not very fast, it is still full of danger for children.

Niu Xiaoqiang turned his head and saw that Niu Huahua's clothes were wet, and he widened his eyes, "You, you guys are really brave, you dare, you dare to play in the Qingjiang River, so, aren't you afraid of drowning? "

Niu Xiaoqiang's expression at the moment was a little funny, looking silly, but Niu Huahua had long been used to it, so he didn't think it was anything special.She shook the water poured into her ears, and said carelessly: "The adults are all here, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Are all the adults here?"

"Yeah, they're all chasing rabbits on the pier."

Chasing rabbits is a local saying, which means doing odd jobs.

Niu Huahua failed to shake the water drops out, so she simply put her hands into her ears and touched them, and said mysteriously, "You may not know that the arsenal is relocating its equipment."

Niu Xiaoqiang showed an even more surprised look: "Move, move?"

　Ask for a recommendation ticket, if you think it is okay, please add this book to the bookshelf, I am very grateful!
