Upstairs in the Xiushan apartment, Feihu Sun was standing in front of the window with a wine glass in his hand, staring at the two figures on the street below with an uneasy expression on his face.Of course he was dissatisfied with the result of the share distribution, and the reason why he was passive was that Mrs. Xiushan raised her hand without any clue.
"Feihu, do you think he looks like a person..." Mrs. Xiushan didn't get angry or argue when being complained face to face by business partners and friends, but asked an irrelevant question instead.
Chapter 712
"Like a person... like who?" Feihu Sun was immediately taken aback, and stared at the back of the street for a long time, but still found nothing.
"like you!"
"like me?"
"Yes, it's very similar to you when you just came out of the base. At that time, your mind was full of ideals, always thinking about building a fairer society, organizing refugees to fight for rights with the alliance. Just now he gave the new transportation company The future you describe sounds similar to what you were back then."
Mrs. Xiushan also walked to the window, looked at the backs of Hong Tao and Wang Gang, and whispered about the scene back then, with a hint of ridicule in her tone, but also a sense of joy.
"...Do you really believe that what he said came from the bottom of his heart!?" Feihu Sun was a little dumb. Although only a few years had passed, he didn't have a deep impression of that year, or he couldn't bear to look back on the past, so he deliberately didn't think about it.
"Would you be disappointed if you heard this back then? At that time, apart from your enthusiasm, what capital could you offer to make people believe? But so many people really believed it, and they have been fighting with you for a year many.
Although the ending is not happy, people will still regard you as a hero when they think of those years.Feihu, it's not scary to fail, what's scary is to surrender in your heart.
I don't know what Zhou Dafu's plan is, and I can't see through this person, but I am willing to show kindness to all good things.Whether it's treachery or the outpouring of true feelings, it's not wrong to extend a hand for him to keep going.We are all at this age, what else can we lose? "
From Mrs. Xiushan's words, it can be heard that she is not very satisfied with the current coalition government and hopes to see changes.Not only her, but many people in the safe zone also felt the same way, especially those who were a bit human.
It's a strange thing to say, people who have enough to eat and drink, and have a head and a face are more willing to change, while those low-level refugees who work all day long and barely eat are more content with the status quo.
But she's a little different from the others, and puts it into action!Although it is unlikely to be a top bird in terms of age and energy, I am willing to provide corresponding convenience for those who have energy, ability, and willingness.Even if the hope is very slim, still not completely give up.
"Yeah, what else can I lose... But he's not young anymore!" Feihu blushed when he mentioned this issue. When he was running around in the safe zone to establish Utopia, Mrs. Xiushan also secretly supported him. A lot of financial and material resources were spent, but unfortunately it failed in the end.
"Knowing the destiny at 50 is the most mature time for a person. Summarize life with decades of experience, taste all the ups and downs, and learn how to gain wisdom from a pitfall. Only then can you understand the difficulty of realizing your ideals, and you will not be passionate about doing things. , less passion and more reason.
Haven't you noticed that he, a 50-year-old man, is much more energetic than us back then.These days I often stand here to watch, as long as he is always busy at home, even if he comes back from the car, the room will still work with the lights on until late.The next day I got up very early again, sometimes alone and sometimes with several people, running and jumping around the small building for a long time before stopping.
At first, I also thought he was a brash man with well-developed limbs and a little kung fu.But after these few contacts, I think we were all deceived by him.He is probably the one who really made up his mind in this group, and that Populus euphratica was just a cover for being pushed to the front. If you think about it carefully, is there such a possibility? "
Now that this topic is brought up, Mrs. Xiushan is not aimless.Since the group moved into the small building diagonally opposite, she observed carefully for a period of time, and came to a conclusion that was completely opposite to what ordinary people had seen.
"...If you don't say it, I really haven't thought about it... Yes, these few times when we talked about serious things, he was the first to show up, and Hu Yang made the final decision. According to your statement, it is not impossible .
Oh old sister, if this person is so scheming, wouldn't it be a risky move for us to hand over the transportation company to him?Once he becomes powerful in the future, I'm afraid he will be no easier to deal with than Sun Changzhong! "
Youdao is a word that wakes up the dreamer, Sun Feihu thought about it according to Mrs. Xiushan's train of thought, and his eyes suddenly widened.The joy of the imminent arrival of a new shipping company was swept away, replaced by deep apprehension.
"There is a great philosopher in China who once said, listen to his words and watch his actions! Let's listen to his words for now, and then slowly watch his actions. Words and deeds are consistent, help them, if the words are not what they mean, it is not difficult to destroy this transportation company !
Just watch, there will soon be a big test waiting for him to hand in the answer sheet.As long as we apply, Sun Changzhong will take action before the Ministry of Transport approves the license. I don't know how he will respond! "
Unlike Feihu Sun, Mrs. Xiushan didn't show too much worry. She seemed to have made up her mind and made two preparations, and planned to watch a good show with a very relaxed attitude.
From this determination and calculation alone, she belongs to the same kind of person as Zhou Yuan and Lin Na, but it is a pity that she is a bit older, she is still a foreigner, and she doesn't know much Chinese when she joined the alliance. There was a confrontation between two tigresses.
Hong Tao didn't make Mrs. Xiushan and Sun Feihu wait any longer. A few days later, he firmly nailed the label of unity of knowledge and action to his head.
As time approaches the end of the year, the weather becomes colder day by day. In mid-December, a heavy snowstorm visited the vast areas of North China and East China. The feather-like snowflakes fell for two days and one night before stopping, and the snow thickness reached more than 12 centimeters.
This kind of heavy snowfall is not uncommon in Xinjiang Province. It happens several times every year, and the bigger ones are not new.But it is really uncommon in North China and East China. Even if the climate has changed significantly in the years after the outbreak of the zombie disease, it is still a relatively special situation.
Severe weather that is uncommon, unprepared, and unexpected is a natural disaster.The first is the temperature. There is a proverb in the north that it is warm after the wind and cold after the snow.After the heavy snowfall, the temperature suddenly dropped to more than ten degrees below zero, and the water in the lakes and small rivers were all frozen overnight. With a slight northwest wind, the sky and the earth were completely white.
In the eyes of the poet, this situation is like the spring breeze at the end of the winter, and the snowflakes press the fragrance of the flowers first.In the eyes of politicians, it is a mountain dancing silver snake and a wax figure of Yuan Chi, who want to compete with Tiangong.But feeling among the refugees at the bottom, only the fear of freezing to death is left.
Just one day after the heavy snow fell, houses were crushed and collapsed in the new sixth district.Most of those huts were remodeled with disaster relief tents plus some steel pipes, wooden squares, linoleum, and planks, which can only shelter from wind and rain but not bear weight.Once the roof is crushed and collapsed, it is difficult to repair it in a short time, and the foundation is too poor.
Without the shelter of the huts, the cold north wind would blow in through the gaps. Even if the refugees living inside could eat three meals a day, it would be difficult for them to resist minus ten if they wore several layers of thick cotton clothes. Several degrees of severe cold.Even if you don't freeze to death, if you catch a cold and have a fever, those who can't maintain their physical fitness will almost disappear.
At this time, a convoy came from the east in the heavy snow, including four-wheeled carriages and two-wheeled carriages. The drivers were all molded into snowmen by snowflakes. Snow is heading towards the new sixth district.
"Bang bang bang... Residents of the new sixth district, we are the convoy of Ping An Transportation Company in the fifth district, and we are here today to help everyone survive the snow disaster. Human beings often seem very small in the face of natural disasters, but the more difficult they are, the more It can reflect the good side of human nature.
As the saying goes, if one party is in trouble, all parties will support it. It doesn’t matter if the house collapses. The construction team of Feihu Construction Company is on the way, and they will help everyone build temporary housing.
It doesn't matter if you lack food or clothing. Many people spontaneously organized a donation activity at the door of Xiushan Apartment. Some people contributed their strength to take out extra quilts, cotton clothes, and extra food to help everyone survive this natural disaster.
But as the saying goes, it’s good to save the emergency but not the poor. Kind people can only save us for a while but not for the whole life. If you want to live, you have to grit your teeth.Now there is a shortage of materials and small workers on the construction site, and there is also a shortage of manpower at the donation site.
But the work is all for nothing, and there is no wages. Anyone who is willing to pay a little more for others can come to me to sign up, and show others, so that they have one more reason to help us... Boom, boom, boom! "
The convoy did not enter the New Sixth District. Only a few coachmen shuttled between hundreds of shacks with broken pots and pans, knocking and shouting as they walked. The members also looked at each other in blank dismay.
Chapter 713 Words and Actions Unite 2
One... two... three... After a short period of silence at the beginning, with the sound of knocking and shouting, people kept coming out of the shed to sign up for voluntary labor.The line behind several coachmen is getting longer and longer, and it looks like a real-life snake from a distance.
"..." The three security guards standing guard outside the east gate of New Sixth District had never seen such a scene, and were not sure whether to take care of it or not, so they had to hide in the watchtower and use the phone to report to the top security team.
"...It's you again!" After a while, several horses trotted over against the wind and snow, all of them were in green and black hooded raincoats and fully armed.Seeing Hong Tao and Lu Wei'an sitting on the carriage, the leader rode over and raised his hood while speaking, revealing an ordinary middle-aged man's face.
"Hey, Captain Zhang! Come on, everyone, move the car to the side and let Captain Zhang pass!"
Hong Tao doesn't have the ability of photographic memory, but whoever bullies him, as long as he doesn't have plastic surgery, he can remember it in his heart for the rest of his life.Let him remember the one who was sitting right away. His name is Zhang Qian. He is the squadron leader of the security brigade in the south of the city, and also the chief judge who arrested him last time.
"Don't move...I'm not going anywhere! You...have a good voice, what's your name?"
Zhang Qian also knew Hong Tao, but he couldn't remember his name. He only remembered the extremely shrill and penetrating scream.Years of security work made him come to the conclusion that anyone who is good at pretending to be stupid, has high endurance, and knows how to use the rules is usually very difficult to fight.
"Hehehe...Captain Zhang really forgets his affairs, Zhou Dafu, Zhou Dafu of the albatross transport team!"
"Oh... Zhou Dafu, I heard that your transportation team is doing a good job, what are you going to do today!" Zhang Qian waved his hand, rejecting the cigarettes offered by Hong Tao.
"...You must have misunderstood. We are all good citizens and will not cause trouble for the government. You see, the heavy snow has collapsed their house, and it is so cold at night, people will freeze to death.
We came here on a special trip to help. If the house collapsed, we can go to the yard of the transportation team to make do with it for a few days. If the house is not collapsed, we can send some people to help build a new house. "
In fact, one thing Zhang Qian missed was that Hong Tao was not only good at pretending to be stupid, but also had a strong endurance. The attitude is even more respectful.
"Boss Zhou, when did you become a good man?" Zhang Qian stared at Hong Tao's face for more than ten seconds, and then looked at the beating drivers in the safe area, not quite explaining this. satisfy.
"Where are there any good people... Captain Zhang, you misunderstood again. We are just helping Mrs. Xiushan a little. The old lady is a bodhisattva. She heard that the new refugees were going to starve and suffer from cold. See if you can do your best.
My brother and brother Hu are also from homeless backgrounds. We have just had a full meal for a few days. Of course we will not forget about this, but we don’t know how to help.Mrs. Xiushan said, there are people who are able to contribute!
It happened that there was a yard behind our building, which was originally planned to be used as a stable. The yard walls were built, the roof and partitions were also done, and the horses were not bought. The heavy snow came first.
Yes, then make room for people to use it.As long as some materials are found to seal the front, it is barely enough to keep out the wind and cold. If it is squeezed a little bit, it will not be a problem to accommodate dozens of people.No, Brother Hu sent me to grab the labor. The yard and the house can be lived for free, but there are not enough people to build the house. It shouldn’t be a problem to ask them to help, right? "
Mrs. Xiushan was really involved in this move to help the new refugees, but she was definitely not the mastermind. If you want to ask who would come up with such an idea, you can only look at Hong Tao's face.
As soon as the snowflakes fell in the sky, Lu Wei'an approached Hong Tao to make a suggestion, saying that people would freeze to death in the safety zone every winter, and the carriages of the transport team might be requisitioned by the security team to pull the corpses.
The fifth security zone where the albatross transport team is located is next to the new sixth zone, which has lower living conditions and sanitation conditions. After a heavy snowfall and a drop in temperature, there must be more cases of frozen bones on the road.
In order to prevent the carriages of the transportation team from being requisitioned as hearses for pulling corpses, he suggested that he first use his connections to give some benefits to the security team and the management office, so that a few fewer vehicles might be requisitioned by then.In fact, the work of pulling the corpse is not tiring, but listening to the diaphragm, most people think it is unlucky.
Hong Tao did not take Lu Wei'an's suggestion. He and Hu Yang had seen too much life and death, and they had long since lost their ordinary thinking, and they didn't think there was anything to do with dragging the corpse to bury it.
But Hong Tao came up with an idea from this. After a long time of conceiving, he went to find Mrs. Xiushan in person in the name of Hu Yang that night, and told him everything he wanted to do, expressing his intention to seek cooperation.
The central idea is that in the event of a snow disaster, Mrs. Xiushan will come forward to raise her arms and shout, and Sun Feihu's construction company will take the lead in responding and rescue the refugees in the new sixth district with great fanfare.
The purpose of doing this is only one bright and one dark, one short and one long!
What is clear is to buy people's hearts, so there is no need to explain this.For those refugees living at the bottom of society, whoever can stretch out a finger at a critical moment may be a life-saving straw.
Although not everyone can repay the kindness of a drop of water, most people still have a little conscience, can know good and bad, can't help too much in a short time, and can say a few good words first .
What is a human heart?Instead of gathering a group of dead men to smear your brains all day long, people's hearts are often just a few words on the lips of ordinary people and what they think in their hearts.Before there is an idea, there may be action.
This is also to create momentum for the new transportation company. As a company based in the safe zone in the south of the city, if you can't even get a few good words and a little favor from the locals, then what is the right time and place? up.
The dark thing is to create momentum, to create momentum for Mrs. Xiushan and Sun Feihu, so that these two old people who were once highly respected in the southern security zone and gradually retreated to the second line will regain their second spring, paving the way for the future as the underground forces in the security zone. .
I want to ask if organizing a charity event can play such a big role?The answer is yes.As long as the two of them are willing to call out, other forces in the safe zone can only follow.Because righteousness is in the hands of the two of them, which is the legendary kidnapping of morality.
Let me ask most of the people in the safe zone who have not come from the new refugees step by step. Without affecting their own interests, they will take out some supplies to help the new refugees who are starving and freezing. Who would object? Woolen cloth?
This is an obvious conspiracy. If you follow it, a good reputation may not be able to fall on your head. The benefits of not being the initiator are very limited.But don't follow, and a bad reputation is likely to fall on you.People often can't remember 99% of your good things, but they can firmly remember your 1% bad things. It's human nature, and no one can do it.
Short, refers to the short-term effect.That is, the good reputation gained on the surface and the favor of the refugees.The long-term effect is the long-term effect. Through the promotion, the reputation of Mrs. Xiushan and Sun Feihu in the southern safety zone will be further improved, paving the way for the next step and the next two steps in the future.
Of course, Hong Tao didn't mention his future plans to Mrs. Xiushan and Feihu Sun, so it doesn't matter whether they can notice it or not.As long as you don't object this time, you will be considered as a thief. After thinking about it later, it will be very difficult to think about it.
Fame and wealth are natural unique products of human beings. Once they are contaminated, they will be addicted immediately. Only those with great wisdom and courage cannot quit.No matter Mrs. Xiushan or Sun Feihu, who wouldn't be happy to gain this kind of reputation and reputation that comes without effort?
No, the two of them unanimously agreed to Hong Tao's suggestion... Oh, no, it was Hu Yang's suggestion.Hong Tao has always been just a messenger and a person who does specific things, and Hu Yang takes the big strategy and big ideas.
"Mrs. Xiushan and Sun Feihu...where are they?"
Hearing these two names, the doubts in Zhang Qian's eyes became heavier, and at the same time, he raised a trace of vigilance.Abnormal things must be demons!This kind of thing has never happened in the safe zone for many years. No one can figure out whether it is good or bad, let alone say.
"Uh... Should I be hosting a charity fundraiser at the gate of Xiushan Apartment now? I really don't know the details, we just listen to the call and work, hehehe..." Hong Tao raised his sleeve and wiped his nose vigorously, revealing He gave a simple and honest smile.
Chapter 714 Words and Actions Unite 3
"And donations!?" Zhang Qian frowned, looking at the silly smiling face in front of him, his heart became more and more uneasy.
"Yes, I heard that there is also a porridge shed! Before I came here in the morning, I just pulled a hundred catties of coal balls, so it looks like I need to build a few big pots!"
The more others frowned, Hong Tao smiled from the bottom of his heart. With this expression, he didn't have to pretend at all, baring his two half-cut die teeth, and gesticulating the size of the pot with his hands and feet.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way... Make room for it!" Zhang Qian seemed to see the cockroach lying on the water mouse's head, grinning at him together, wanting to trample them all to death.
"Come on, brothers, move... Don't block the road, let Captain Zhang pass by... Hey, Captain Zhang, I forgot to mention that Mrs. Xiushan stipulates that only homeless refugees can drink porridge for free. Don't worry. It's no use rushing over there!"
Seeing Zhang Qian hurriedly squeezed through the gap between the carriages with several security guards, Hong Tao did not forget to add a sentence behind his back.Boy, if you dare to punish me, don't worry, just wait, this is just the beginning, you will worry about it in the future!
Zhang Qian didn't have to wait any longer, and now he frowned into Sichuan characters.Hong Tao was right. Three big pots were lined up at the door of Xiushan Apartment. When he arrived, the rice had just been cooked, and the smell hadn’t fully dissipated, but the street was already filled with a strong rice fragrance.
In addition to the porridge shed, there are two empty sheds, under which are piled some quilts, cotton clothes, thatch cloth, and grain, and each pile is hung with banners made of red cloth or red paper, with the names of people and companies written on them.
With just a few glances, you can see who sent it, but after knowing it, you will be even more worried. Without exception, all of them come from the underground forces in the southern security zone.It's really complete, the management office has never been here for a meeting so full and so neat, and even a small organization that specializes in digging up dung to send to the agricultural area in the north of the city has sent a heartfelt favor.
"Dong dong gong... dong dong gong... Master Shen from the Third Ring Entertainment City sent love... 100 catties of rice, 20 sets of cotton clothes..." Before I could read the whole thing, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums on the street, and a car painted The carriage marked by Entertainment City is slowly approaching.
Immediately, someone greeted him with an electric horn. Zhang Qian also knew this man. He was Tang Tiezui who was a storyteller in a teahouse.Good guy, he also came to get involved. The scale of this charity fundraising has far exceeded imagination.
"Hey, Captain Zhang, are you on duty today? It's better to catch up with the day than to catch up with the day. Let's go in and have fun together." The carriage stopped, and a man in a suit, a woolen coat, and a fur hat jumped down. As soon as the two eyes met, the other party immediately greeted him with a big smile.
"Boss Shen, this is..." Unexpected, too unexpected.Zhang Qian thought it was just for the sake of Mrs. Xiushan's face, but he didn't expect Shen Nan to come in person, and the scale and grade had to be raised again.
"Don't forget your love...Yesterday Brother Hu came to the door in person and said he wanted to support Mrs. Xiushan. Do you think I can send someone here?" Shen Nan's face was full of smiles, but there was a bit of bitterness in his words.
The things came out, the scenes were praised, and the favors were given, but the benefits were not at all, and they all became other people's wedding clothes.Not only can he see this kind of pure loss-making business, but he can understand it personally.
But if you understand it, you understand it, you can't have any complaints, and you have to make up for it, and you can't give less than anyone else.In the words of the master, Mrs. Xiushan and Sun Feihu are always shameless, it's too embarrassing!
"Brother Hu also participated?" Zhang Qian never believed that Feihu Sun and Mrs. Xiushan were the initiators. Since the disbandment of Utopia, the old man was heartbroken and never took care of the refugees.
"It's not just about participating... all the dignified people in the five districts in the south of the city have been notified that they have something important to announce today. Team Zhang, you and Brother Hu are old acquaintances. He doesn't mean to be with Mrs. Xiushan... "Shen Nan really didn't know which song Feihu and Mrs. Xiushan sang, why suddenly thought of helping the new refugees.
Let's talk about kindness, what did you do a few years ago?So there must be something going on here.According to common sense, he came to a more reliable conclusion, and only this matter was worth such a big fight.
"The two of them... No, no, it's impossible. Mrs. Xiushan is older than Brother Hu, and he keeps calling me sister. This kind of thing is impossible!" Zhang Qian didn't hesitate at all about this guess, shaking his head like a rattle.
His old boss is a rather rigid person, not to mention marrying an older woman as a wife, even if he is of the right age, he still refuses.If you want to marry a wife, you have already signed up at the base back then, why wait until now?
"Hey, it's not certain! Let's make a bet. If I win, Team Zhang will add an extra night patrol to the entertainment city. If I lose, the brothers from the security team will come and eat at night in the Gregorian calendar year." , not a penny!"
Shen Nan really didn't believe this set of insistence, people would change, Mrs. Xiushan had no husband, Sun Feihu and daughter-in-law, and neither of them had any offspring.Husband, wife, you are a companion when you get old, the older you get, the lonelier you are!
"...I'm on duty here!" Zhang Qian was very tempted to earn a dinner for his brothers on New Year's Eve, but looking at his own attire and looking at the crowded Xiushan apartment, it seemed inappropriate.
"Hey, I don't dare to make a guarantee on weekdays. Today, you just put your heart in your stomach. Brother Hu has already greeted you from the first district to the fifth district. Anyone who dares to make trouble today will be called." The face of Feihu Company! How about it, it’s too late to regret it now!”
As soon as Shen Nan grabbed Zhang Qian's arm, he dragged him into the apartment, explaining the specialness of today as he walked.In the safe zone, there are companies that go unscrupulous, and there are gangs that go black, but they will show face in such situations, especially Sun Feihu.
Although the Utopia he created back then failed, his character did not fail. In the end, he took all the responsibilities by himself and saved many people from trouble. This made the old people in the safe zone remember his kindness.
"...Xiao Wang, take someone back and talk to the captain first!" Zhang Qian thought for a while, but still felt that it would be better to go in and meet Sun Feihu and ask him face to face, otherwise he would feel uneasy.
Compared with the porridge shed and donation shed outside, the lobby and restaurant on the first floor of Xiushan Apartment are more lively.There are basically all the respectable people, and they are chatting together in groups of three or four.After Shen Nan and Captain Zhang entered, they immediately greeted each other, and they couldn't get to the point of talking within 10 minutes.
But before the exchange of pleasantries was over, a man wearing a new military uniform and an armed belt came down the stairs. If his hair was not gray, he would put on his epaulettes, he must be an officer.
Followed by an old lady in a kimono, Sun Feihu is really nothing if you want to talk about flamboyance, Mrs. Xiushan must grow old and strong.The hair that was usually tied behind her head with a net was combed all over her head and stood tall, looking exactly like the noble ladies in ancient palaces.
"Hey everyone, cough...listen to me, there is a big happy event to announce today..." Facing so many guests in the hall, Feihu Sun was a little unnatural, maybe excited, his face was always black and red.
"Brother Hu, are you going to have Mrs. Hu?" There are always people who talk quickly and like to rush to answer.
"Hahahahaha...it should be called Huniu..." Then a large group of people booed and laughed, and even Zhang Qian, who was firmly in disbelief at first, could only giggle along with him.
