Siheyuan: This driver is too arrogant

Chapter 139 Ignite the Fire, Fight the Frost! (seeking subscription)

"Hello, hello, is this the production team of Louzigou Village? According to the forecast of the Provincial Meteorological Observatory, there will be a large-scale frost tonight. Now the superior orders you to take precautions immediately and resist the frost. Did you hear me?"

The phone rang, and Zhai Qingguo listened to the commune secretary's order with a gloomy face. Liu Weidong walked in, rubbed his hands, and was surprised to see him standing there holding the phone.

What did Uncle Qin say to provoke him?

"What's the matter, Comrade Zhai? What happened?"

"Oh, just now the superiors announced that a cold wave is coming soon, this God really kills..." Thinking of the huge losses caused by the frost in the past few years, Zhai Qingguo trembled in his heart.

"I'm also to blame for this. Last month, there was half a month of autumn rain, and then it was sunny and springy for a few days. I thought about letting the apples grow for a few more days at this juncture, and color them, but it didn't work." To think that this frost will come so quickly!"

"Whether it is farming or animal husbandry, it depends on the sky, and no one can guess." Liu Weidong smiled, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"It seems that I really need your help this time!" Zhai Qingguo took out a map from the drawer and drew a circle on it, "Our Louzigou production team now has about [-] mu of mountain forest land, and the current distribution of apple orchards Here, here, and here, if we want to resist the frost tonight, we must light up all the orchards’ anti-cold smoke, this black light is blind, and we don’t have a car..."

car!

It turned out to be the idea of ​​hitting my car!
"How are these roads? Can I get on the bus?" Liu Weidong asked.

"Can pass a donkey cart."

"Just pass the donkey cart. Immediately arrange for people to unload the apples and divide everyone into groups. I will drive them to the orchards now!"

"Comrade Liu is really grateful to you. Without you, our loss this time would be great!"

"Don't say polite words, hurry up and call people!"

The apples that had just been loaded into the car were tossed down again, and the young and strong laborers of the Louzigou production team took fancy shotguns and kindling, got into the car, led by Zhai Qingguo, and went straight to the Banlagou orchard ten miles away from the village. .

"Old Li, keep five people here, keep an eye on the thermometer, light the fire with the wind when the temperature drops to minus two degrees, and press more wet branches!"

Zhai Qingguo rolled down the car window and shouted at an old man wearing a hat.

"Understood the captain, hurry up and go to other orchards!"

Old Li hummed, and led the four of them hurried up the mountain.

Liu Weidong drove the car carefully, and drove forward along the gravel roads in the mountains. These roads are only used by cattle and horses. The road surface is not wide, and it is not smooth. Send people to their destination.

"The temperature is dropping too fast!" Zhai Qingguo rolled down the car window, held a thermometer in his hand, and handed it outside. Watching the red liquid drop rapidly, he was so shocked that sweat dripped from his forehead!
"Comrade Liu, can you hurry up a little bit?" Zhai Qingguo was very anxious.

"I'll try!" Liu Weidong changed gears, put up all his energy, and walked forward along the gravel road. The wheels were crushed on the sharp stones, making a frantic sound, which was life-saving in Zhai Qingguo's ears Note!

If the frost didn't hold up and froze all the apples left on the tree, not only would he, the captain of the production team, not be able to continue working, he would even have to be arrested and set as a model for sabotaging production!

The car finally stopped, and when it reached another hill, Zhai Qingguo almost yelled at everyone to get off the car and go up the hill quickly!

Liu Weidong drove the car through one hill after another, sending the orchard farmers to the corresponding orchards.

After he ran all the hills, the temperature had dropped to minus one degree!
Zhai Qingguo looked at the thermometer in his hand, with sweat running down his forehead. It was obvious that the temperature could not be maintained at all. As the night approached, no one could guarantee how much the temperature would drop in the future!

If I rashly raise the fire now and burn the prepared firewood, and wait until the frost head comes down, I really won't be able to recite the spell!
"What's the matter, Comrade Zhai, what's the problem?" Liu Weidong asked when he saw that he was holding the thermometer, looking undecided.

"I don't know when this frost head will come down... I'm really anxious..."

Liu Weidong didn't answer, but jumped out of the car and stared at the northwest sky.

There were light gray clouds floating in the sky, illuminated by the moonlight, reflecting a cold color. Liu Weidong grabbed a handful of dust and threw it out. The dust was blown by the wind, and slowly flew north-northwest.

It is northwesterly now, and the wind is not strong, only about level two.

The light gray clouds in the distant sky are slowly and firmly advancing towards the south. When the clouds pass, the real front of the cold wave will come!
Zhai Qingguo also jumped out of the car and looked north in the direction of his finger.

"Did you see that when the clouds over there pushed over our heads, the cold wave will follow, and it won't be too late to raise the fire to make smoke at that time!"

"It's not that far away..."

The night was cold, but Zhai Qingguo didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. He was wearing a green military overcoat with his sleeves folded, and he looked at the temperature that was still slowly dropping from time to time, and his heart was in his throat!
Liu Weidong was right, this cloud drifted past, and there were no more clouds behind it.

That means that the cold air in Siberia is really coming, and then the whole north will fall into a long cold winter!

Liu Weidong also looked at the cloud. Against the background of the moonlight, the cloud was blown by the wind and kept changing its shape. Sometimes it looked like a puppy, sometimes it looked like a lamb...

He thought of Oqier again, that little thing!

I don't know if the wound it was bitten by the wolf has healed?What is Ge Ge doing now, are you studying or thinking about me...

He was thinking about something, and Zhai Qingguo didn't know what he was thinking. Holding the thermometer in his hand, he stared blankly at the moon in a daze.

"Clouds are coming!" Liu Weidong yelled and glanced at the thermometer!

The temperature on the thermometer jumped suddenly!
Three degrees below zero!

"Here we come!" Zhai Qingguo just woke up like a dream. He took out a match from his pocket, squatted on the ground, took out one and struck it vigorously!
There was a sound of pricking, and under the cold moonlight, the matches ignited. Liu Weidong handed over a pinch of dried apple leaves. Suddenly, the dried apple leaves caught fire. Zhai Qingguo carefully stuffed the burning leaves under the pile of leaves. Suddenly, the whistling white smoke rushed out from below, drifted into the air, and was carried away by the cold wave pressing down from Siberia.

"See, Shuangtou is here too!"

Liu Weidong pointed to the white smoke floating over the orchard, unable to leap into the sky, and smiled.

It seems that the method the instructor taught me is quite effective!
"Comrade Liu, thank you very much. Without you, we would have lost a lot tonight!" Zhai Qingguo breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the torch and waved it twice vigorously on the distant hillside. Raise the fire and smoke!
The flames jumped out one by one like the stars after the sunset, and countless bright spots suddenly appeared under the originally dark sky.

Just like the beacon towers that transmitted signals in ancient times, in less than half an hour, the entire Liaodong hills were full of beacon fires everywhere, billowing thick smoke hanging in the air, trying their best to block the frost from Siberia.

The smoke and dust billowed, but Zhai Qingguo felt that it was not enough. He used branches to push all the apple leaves scattered on the ground to the fire, and then broke off a few fruit tree branches with green leaves and threw them in.

The smoke and dust went straight into the sky again, and looking around, the original dots of flames were no longer visible. As far as the eye could see, they were all white smoke, covering the sky and the sun, with no end in sight!
As the smoke rises, the temperature on the thermometer slowly rises, and now the temperature in this orchard has reached one degree above zero, which means that the frost damage will be greatly reduced!
"call!"

Zhai Qingguo sat down on the ground, wiped the sweat from his brow, and finally survived the most dangerous moment.

"Comrade Liu, I made you laugh. The orchard is the life of our fruit farmers. If this frost hits, the loss will be tens of thousands of catties of apples. At that time, even if I die, I will not be able to repay this sin!"

　May [-] double monthly pass?Then continue to fight on May Day!
