Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Wang Chunsheng nodded heavily with red eyes, then turned his back, as if afraid that Xiao Shan would see him and laugh at him.

After all, Northeastern men are known for their toughness, and Wang Chunsheng didn't want to show his vulnerable side in front of Xiao Shan.

However, he was also very clear that this parting might be the last time they would see each other.

Although he and Xiao Shan had only known each other for half a month, they hit it off immediately, and he genuinely liked this guy from the city.

As long as you find someone to your liking, no matter how long the friendship lasts, it will always hold a place in your heart.

He Yuzhu was much more unrestrained than Xiao Shan. He rushed forward and hugged Wang Chunsheng from behind, saying, "Brother Wang, take good care of yourself!"

Wang Chunsheng was feeling sad when He Yuzhu suddenly pounced on him, causing him to stumble and almost fall to the ground.

Turning back to He Yuzhu with a wry smile, she said, "Brother He, you must take good care of yourself!"

Xiao Shan looked at the two of them, pondered for a moment, then turned around and said firmly, "Let's go home!"

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's words, the others immediately cheered.

After being away from home for so many days, everyone is already homesick.

So when everyone hears the word "going home," they are genuinely happy.

As is customary, the driver's cab was given to all the female comrades and some male comrades who were sick, while everyone else was covered with bedding in the truck bed.

Although they were about to be buffeted by a biting wind for over an hour, everyone was still very excited, knowing that this was the way back.

Because Wang Chunsheng had made prior arrangements with the drivers, the two drivers took everyone all the way to the bus station.

After getting off the car, Xiao Shan asked the driver to wait.

After counting the number of people, Xiao Shan cleared his throat and said to everyone: "Our group has been staying at Fanrong Forest Farm for half a month. Director Wang of Fanrong Forest Farm, the veteran workers of the forest farm, and even the villagers from the surrounding area have all taken very good care of us!"

"So I have an idea! Right now it's the coldest time of year at Fanrong Forest Farm, but many of the educated youth assigned to Fanrong Forest Farm, as well as the old workers there, aren't wearing cotton-padded coats that are very warm. The military overcoats we're wearing are exactly the kind of warm coats they desperately need right now."

"If anyone is willing, we can donate the general's overcoat to those in need at the forest farm, bringing them warmth in the winter and making them more comfortable while working."

After saying that, Xiao Shan took the lead in taking off his military overcoat and the large felt hat on his head, and put them on the truck bed.

Then Xiao Shan took out a thick quilt and wrapped himself in it, and continued to say to everyone: "If anyone is willing to donate their military overcoat, we can take advantage of the fact that our forestry station's driver has not yet left and transport these coats to the forestry station to be delivered to those in need!"

He Yuzhu and the other two silently took off their military overcoats and put them in the back of the truck bed.

Although wearing a military overcoat can be a source of pride for a long time, they would prefer that older workers like Wang Daniu receive the warmth of this overcoat.

Compared to He Yuzhu and his two companions, the others were still somewhat hesitant.

After all, this military overcoat is a very precious item, and it is also a symbol of honor for them to come to Fanrong Forest Farm this time!

"I do!" Just then, a woman spoke up.

She put her military overcoat in the back of the truck bed, then took out the bedding from her luggage and wrapped it around herself.

Seeing this, the other women also donated their military overcoats.

Seeing how enthusiastic the women were, the other men naturally couldn't fall behind.

Moreover, during these two weeks, the veteran workers at the forest farm and the local villagers took special care of them.

It's quite meaningful that these military overcoats eventually ended up in the hands of these veteran workers.

At most, they would have lost one thing to brag about after returning to Beijing, but what they brought to the old workers and educated youth in the forest farm was genuine warmth.

So one by one, everyone took off their military overcoats and put them on the truck bed.

In the end, everyone wrapped themselves in blankets, smiled, and waved goodbye to the driver inside the car.

The two drivers, sitting in the driver's seat, watched these city dwellers wrapped in brightly colored blankets, their eyes already welling up with tears.

Who told them that city people are precious and arrogant and look down on them, the country folk?

Anyone who dares to say that in front of them again will have their teeth smashed!

These comrades from Beijing are full of passion and dedication, which commands our utmost respect!

The two drivers got out of the car and bowed deeply to the people from Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill: "On behalf of Fanrong Forest Farm, we thank the comrades from Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill for their donation!"

At first, I felt a little sorry for the man in the military coat, but now, facing the two bowing drivers, a sense of pride and satisfaction welled up inside me.

So this is what the good feeling of doing good deeds is like!

Although everyone was wrapped in blankets and their movements were somewhat inconvenient, they felt very happy.

Giving roses to others leaves a lingering fragrance on your own hands!

After waving goodbye to the two drivers from the forest farm, everyone boarded the bus like ducks, carrying their luggage and wrapped in blankets.

The bus driver witnessed the scene firsthand and was filled with admiration for the group.

Because everyone was wrapped in blankets, the speed at which people got on the bus and sat down was particularly slow.

But neither the driver, the ticket seller, nor the passengers on the bus made a sound of urging them to hurry up.

After everyone was seated on the bus, the few passengers spontaneously started clapping, and the driver and ticket seller joined in.

Faced with everyone's applause, the people at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill were initially a little uncomfortable, but they quickly became proud.

Although they lost their military overcoats that they could have shown off for a long time, they gained a lot of joy and recognition from strangers.

These are all very pleasant things, and they are much more noble than the satisfaction brought by showing off.

After the car arrived at its destination, both the passengers and the driver spontaneously got off to help the people from Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill carry their luggage off the bus.

After all, they were all wrapped in blankets, making it difficult to carry their luggage.

After this group of people wrapped in blankets got off the bus, they immediately attracted the attention of many enthusiastic men and women from Northeast China.

After learning about the actions of the people from Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, everyone spontaneously surrounded them and helped them with their luggage.

"Going to the train station? The train station is quite a distance from here. Let us take you there!"

"Yes, yes, you can't carry your luggage properly like this. Tighten your blankets around you, and make sure you don't catch a cold!"

"That's right, that's right, don't catch a cold before you go back!"

……

"It's alright, we'll just take it a little slower, we'll still get to the train station." Xiao Shan politely declined the offers from the enthusiastic crowd, saying, "Don't let us delay your business!"

"I have no business to attend to! I'm just bored!" The middle-aged woman quickly waved her hand at Xiao Shan, indicating that she was a free person.

"Important business? What important business? You guys are the important business right now!" A man from Northeast China snatched the luggage from Xiao Shan's hands with a serious expression, as if he would run away with the luggage if Xiao Shan didn't agree.

Faced with everyone's enthusiasm and kindness, Xiaoshan and his group could only accept the help with a smile.

The kind-hearted people of Northeast China escorted Xiao Shan and his group all the way to the train, watching them until they were seated before leaving with peace of mind.

Before leaving, he kept praising them.

After the train started moving, everyone was drowsy in their seats, wrapped in blankets.

The blanket is thick enough, but it's not as windproof as a military overcoat!

So, on the way from the bus station to the train station, everyone got a bit cold.

Now that I'm on the train, the biting cold wind is finally gone, and all my muscles can relax.

After relaxing, I felt a bit tired, so I leaned back in my chair and started to doze off.

At this moment, Xiao Shan and the others on the train were unaware that they had been photographed by a newspaper reporter who was out collecting material.

The reporter then inquired with people nearby and learned that these strangely dressed people wrapped in blankets inside the train station were actually cadres from Beijing who had come to the three northeastern provinces to work.

This made the reporter even more curious: how could a cadre who came from Beijing end up in such a sorry state when he returned to the city?

They didn't even have warm clothes. Were they being mistreated at their workplace?

If that's really the case, that would be big news!

The reporter originally wanted to go up and interview Xiao Shan and his group to find out what had happened!

However, there were just too many people crowding around Xiao Shan and his group, and he couldn't squeeze in at all.

After Xiaoshan and his group boarded the train, the train immediately started moving.

Having no other option, the reporter grabbed a helpful member of the public who had just escorted them onto the train and asked them what was going on.

After listening to the concerned citizen recount the whole story, the reporter realized that they would have a front-page headline for their newspaper tomorrow!

Such good deeds and heartwarming stories of cadres and grassroots workers could even fill several columns for him!

The reporter couldn't help but sigh to himself, "When there's nothing to write about, going out to gather material is definitely the best option!"

After expressing his admiration, the reporter stopped several enthusiastic citizens who had escorted Xiaoshan and his companions, intending to learn more about their deeds.

Then he immediately went back to the newspaper office and worked overtime to write articles.

He must make these lovely city officials household names in Hunchun!

At this moment, Xiao Shan and his companions were still eating their meals in the train carriage, unaware that their act of donating military overcoats to Fanrong Forest Farm was about to be reported in the newspaper.

If everyone finds out, they'll definitely have to eat an extra lunchbox to celebrate!

The men at the steel rolling mill were in an awkward position.

After eating and drinking my fill, I wanted a cigarette, but I had to go to the connecting area between the two carriages to smoke, which was the designated smoking area.

But with everyone wrapped in blankets, getting up to smoke is incredibly inconvenient.

If I didn't wrap myself in a blanket, my hands would probably shake so badly I wouldn't even be able to light a cigarette.

So even when the urge to smoke came, everyone had to endure it until the train reached a warmer place before they could smoke.

During this time, several male comrades with heavy smoking habits braved the cold to untie their blankets and smoke.

But they usually returned shivering within half a minute, their lips turning blue from the cold.

In those days, quilts were extremely precious; people might only have a few sets of quilts to sleep in their entire lives.

If you go out to smoke wrapped in a blanket and the cigarette butt burns a hole in the blanket, you definitely won't be able to explain it when you get back.

He Yuzhu had originally wanted to go for a smoke, but seeing the way the men who had gone ahead of him came back, he quickly gave up the idea.

As evening approached, the train finally entered a warmer area, and the men at the steel mill celebrated as if it were New Year's Day, going out in twos and threes to smoke and get some fresh air.

The journey home is always short.

The following afternoon, the train stopped at the Sijiucheng Railway Station.

At this time, Beijing was not nearly as cold as the three northeastern provinces, and Li Huaide had already sent the transportation department's vehicles to wait outside the train to take everyone home one by one.

Since everyone had just returned from working in the three northeastern provinces, Li Huaide simply waved his hand and gave everyone a three-day holiday.

Let these people rest well at home before they go back to work at the steel mill.

Xiao Shan and He Yuzhu rode in Zhang's car from the transportation department all the way to the entrance of the alley of No. 95 courtyard house.

Mr. Zhang also kindly helped the two with a lot of their luggage and escorted them to their respective homes.

When Li Caijuan saw that Xiao Shan was only wearing a sweater and didn't even have a coat, she was immediately heartbroken and quickly welcomed him into the house.

Inside the house, Feng Chunlian was playing with her two children, Xiao Jingshu and Xiao Jingyan.

Seeing Xiao Shan's attire as he entered, she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Xiao Shan, what happened to you? Why are you back wearing just a sweater?"

Xiao Shan smiled and told Ding Qiunan and Feng Chunlian about their donation of military overcoats.

After hearing Xiao Shan's story, Ding Qiunan and Feng Chunlian felt both admiration and heartache.

After letting Xiao Shan rest on the sofa, Feng Chunlian went to prepare dinner.

The following day, the story of Xiao Shan and his group donating military overcoats was published in the daily newspapers of the three northeastern provinces.

Other newspapers also rushed to report on this column after seeing it.

After all, such exemplary stories of cadres and the masses being as close as family must be widely publicized!

On the second day of their vacation in Xiaoshan, the news reported by major newspapers reached the capital city.

Li Huaide was summoned by his superiors early in the morning and received extensive praise.
