Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 53

"Quick, hurry up and hold the coffin together!"

Director Lu was also quite frightened. All his achievements are in this coffin!

Regardless of his frailty and old age, he was going to help the coffin as he spoke.

But there were so many people present, there was no need for him. Seeing this situation, the rest of the people had already rushed forward and lifted the coffin together.

There were many people making moves, and the coffin finally did not fall to the ground, but was gently placed on the ground.

At this time, the person who fell down apologized to everyone with guilt: "I'm sorry, I didn't step on it firmly."

This person happened to be a subordinate of the Cultural Relics Administration, so Director Wang scolded on the spot: "What are you eating? Don't you know that there are treasures in the coffin? If you drop the coffin on the ground, I will lose your job." Also fell!"

Director Lu also gave that subordinate a hard look.

The man knew he was wrong, and he didn't dare to defend himself, he just lowered his head and accepted the scolding.

Only Gao Mingcheng could see that there was something wrong with his foot. He probably twisted his ankle when he fell just now.

He stepped forward and said: "Ju Lu, Wang Suo, calm down, you guys, this mountain road is not easy to walk in the first place, besides, it's already at this point, the big guy is still hungry, so naturally he doesn't have much strength."

"I think so. You are not familiar with this mountain road. Why don't you let the villagers of our village carry the coffin, and you can pay for your hard work afterward."

Wang Suo wanted to move, but he had no right to make decisions, so he looked at Bureau Lu.

Director Lu first thanked Gao Mingcheng for his timely action and did not let the coffin fall to the ground, and then said: "Give me some hard work, this is what it should be, then I will trouble you."

Now Director Lu just wanted to transport the coffin back to the county seat in a safe and sound way. With this credit, his official career might be able to move forward.

Director Lu agreed to pay for the hard work, so Gao Mingcheng said to the villagers in Gaojia Village: "Brothers, who wants to carry it?"

"Me! Me!" Several strong men stood up immediately.

They came here to join in the fun, and they helped out to some extent, but now that they heard that there was a fee for hard work, they naturally became more active.

So Gao Mingcheng ordered three people to come out, adding him made four people, two people in the front and two people in the back.

When going down the mountain, the people in front were under more force, so Gao Mingcheng stood in front by himself, and under his command, the coffin was lifted up steadily again.

Along the way, everyone worked hard. If the road was difficult to walk, Gao Mingcheng would remind him loudly. Every 15 minutes or so, he would find a flat place to put the coffin down and take a rest.

In the middle, some people changed a few people because of the force, but Gao Mingcheng did not change from the beginning to the end. He carried the coffin all the way down the mountain.

After successfully descending the mountain, Lu Ju and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The scorching sun was shining brightly, and without the shade of the trees, the hot sun directly shone on the body, making one's skin a little stinging.

There are many plants and trees in the mountains, and the edges of some weeds are extremely sharp. If people accidentally touch them, a shallow wound will be left on the skin, which will be soaked in sweat, which is naturally uncomfortable.

Although it went down the mountain, the car was still parked at the entrance of the village and had to be carried on.

After only resting for a few seconds, Gao Mingcheng said loudly: "Brothers, continue! We are almost at the car."

"Okay." The rest of the people also responded loudly, and their spirits became excited.

After a few more minutes of lifting, they finally arrived at the side of the truck, but how to get the coffin onto the truck was also a problem.

A group of people stood by the side and studied for a long time. After a lot of effort, they finally let the coffin get on the truck smoothly, and put the carved tomb bricks in place.

Director Lu's heart was finally completely stable.

He excitedly shook hands with Gao Mingcheng, thanked him for his help, and asked Director Wang to pay everyone for their hard work.

Director Wang is a very good person. When he was in the county, he prepared a lot of cigarettes and naturally prepared a sum of money for backup.

As for how much money to give to each person, he had also discussed with Bureau Lu before, and now he got instructions from Bureau Lu to immediately take out the funds and start paying according to the head.

The villagers present, as long as they worked hard, they all got the hard work fee, but everyone got a different amount of money. For example, Gao Zhuang helped pick the tomb bricks and got one yuan, and Gao Liang worked a little bit more. More, got two yuan, and those villagers who carried the coffin got five yuan. As for Gao Mingcheng, Lu Bureau personally gave him ten yuan.

Although he got the most, no one present was dissatisfied.

Everyone present clearly knew how much Gao Mingcheng had put in effort along the way.

"It's getting late, let's go back to the county first!" Director Lu looked at Director Chen and said.

Bureau Chen naturally had no objection, said something good, and got into his own car, and the rest of the people also got into the car one after another.

Gao Mingcheng said to Gao Guobing: "Uncle, I'm too busy today, so I won't treat you to lunch."

Gao Guobing glared at him angrily, and said: "Remember to put a hot towel on your shoulders when you go home, so as not to get sick! Also, when you are free in a few days, come to my house for dinner. Gao Yue heard that You came to see me and said you missed you."

Gao Mingcheng hadn't seen Gao Yue for a long time, so he nodded immediately, said yes, then watched Gao Guobing get into the car, and watched the three cars leave one after another.

It wasn't until the car had left completely that the surrounding villagers dispersed.

"Hey, it's better for the officials to pay generously. Although it's a bit tiring, I got five yuan! It's only two nine yuan a day for working on the railway! Those who carry stones and sleepers are also exhausted! "

"Yes, it's a pity that this doesn't happen every day."

"I have to thank Ming Cheng. If he hadn't asked for hard work, the official might not have given it."

"Yes, yes! Mingcheng, I didn't expect you to be so strong and lift such a heavy coffin by yourself!"

Everyone gathered around Gao Mingcheng, praising his strength.

Gao Mingcheng said a few words modestly, and when they reached the fork in the road, everyone dispersed and went back to their respective homes.

"Gao Zhuang, Gao Liang, let's wash before going home to eat!" Gao Mingcheng was sweating all over his body and felt very uncomfortable, so he walked to a ditch, which was about half a meter wide, and the water flow was clear. He stood directly In the ditch, I bent down to wash my face with water, took off my clothes, and washed my upper body. As for the pants on my lower body, it didn't matter, because the weather was very hot anyway.

The same was true for Gao Zhuang and Gao Liang. After washing with cool water, the three of them finally felt a lot better.

Gao Liang said, "Brother Ming Cheng, I'm going home first."

After speaking, he went the other way.

"Let's go back soon, I'm starving to death!" Gao Zhuang said in a hurry, and he and Gao Mingcheng walked home quickly.

When they arrived at home, Grandma Xi was sitting under the eaves, twisting the hemp rope. When she saw that they finally came back, she said with a distressed face, "Are you hungry? Go eat!"

"Grandma, is there any more porridge?" Gao Zhuang asked, the weather was too hot, and he was flustered with exhaustion. Although he was hungry now, he couldn't eat dry rice, so he wanted to have a bowl of porridge first.

"Yes, keep it cold in the water basin. Ming Cheng also eat a bowl of porridge to relieve the heat, I put mung beans in!"

I have to say that Grandma Xi understands very well, she has already finished the porridge in the morning, and she cooked this mung bean porridge specially.
