In the 1970s, I sold my iron rice bowl, stocked up space and went to the countryside

In addition to them, there were also old educated youth in the Youth Courtyard.

The team leader walked over slowly, followed by two men shivering with cold.

Lu Qingyang saw the current situation of the two and knew that they had suffered a lot yesterday.

Captain Wu cleared his throat, "Are all the people here?"

Fatty responded repeatedly, "All, all, here is the certificate."

Captain Wu looked at the names on the certificate and found that there were exactly seven new educated youth, four men and three women.

"You newcomers, follow the old educated youth. By the way, Team Leader Han, come here, these people are in your hands. Take them to the mountains to cut wood later, and you will also arrange the people."

He waved to a educated youth wearing glasses.

Han Zhiqiang nodded and said, "Okay."

Captain Wu continued to add: "You have to go up the mountain to chop firewood here, and you have to grow your own vegetables. I see you have brought your bedding. This is a work point system. The more you work, the more work points you get. Work points can be exchanged for rice and flour. If you don't work, you will starve! You will go to the team to get three pounds of corn flour later. The rest depends on you."

"There are only three pounds of corn flour. It can't last a month." The fat girl sighed.

"Only you provide corn flour in the first year you come. The old educated youth have to rely on themselves now. If you complain, you don't have these three pounds of corn flour. Remember, you are here to suffer, not to enjoy!"

"And the most important thing is, don't steal things from the villagers' homes. If you are caught, the punishment will be very severe."

It's not that Captain Wu underestimates them. There are so many educated youth here, and there are all kinds of people.

Some stole chickens from fellow villagers' homes and secretly stewed them for food, but they refused to admit it even when they were caught.

Some male educated youth went even further, and they slept with girls in the village, and when the time came, they just left, leaving the girls with big bellies and having sex.

There were many other messy things, and Captain Wu had a headache just thinking about them.

"I have brought the people here. You should take care of yourself here."

Han Zhiqiang took off his glasses and wiped the fog off them. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Han Zhiqiang. I am your team leader. There are about 30 or 40 people here, including you. However, life here will be very hard. I hope you are all mentally prepared. Don't cry and ask to go home after suffering! If you encounter any problems in the future, you can also report them directly to me."

He looked down at his watch. "It's almost time. We will set off soon. You should wear thicker clothes, gloves, and hats and follow us up the mountain! Put your luggage in the yard first, and we will assign you a yard when we come back."

Lu Dazhi and Hu Shengli complained bitterly when they heard this. They had to work as soon as they arrived, and they didn't even have time to rest.

The rest of the old educated youth walked out of the yard one after another, all of them were dejected and weak.

Han Zhiqiang shouted, "What's going on so early in the morning? Cheer up, we're going to work."

Lu Qingyang knew that logging here was really tiring, especially after repeating the same labor day after day, people felt numb.

He observed that the educated youth here were all pale and thin, and the cotton-padded jackets they wore were all tattered.

The temperature difference between day and night is quite large here, and it will be warmer at noon.

Lu Qingyang quickly saw that they all carried kettles, so he approached Han Zhiqiang and asked politely, "Team Leader Han, I want to get some hot water."

"By the way, the educated youth boiled the hot water themselves. If you want to drink hot water in the future, remember to boil it yourself, chop the firewood yourself, and fetch the water yourself. Today is your first time here, and there is hot water in the pot. You can use it yourself, and take care of yourself in the future."

Jiang Wanwan, a girl who has been spoiled since childhood, saw such backward living conditions, and even had to be responsible for water use, and suddenly felt that her future was worrying.

She felt a little regretful for her impulsive decision at the time.

At that time, she thought that since Lu Qingyang took the initiative to come to Liuxi Brigade, this place should not be too bad.

Look at this educated youth yard. To put it nicely, it is a yard. What is the difference between it and a pigsty? Thinking of this, she turned her head away with grievance.

But soon her action attracted the attention of other male educated youths, "This new female educated youth is so beautiful."

"More than beautiful, she looks like a fairy. Look at her little face."

"What's your name, comrade, let me help you get your things! You're welcome."

Seeing that the person he liked was surrounded by men who were courting him, Hu Shengli squeezed in, "Wanwan, let me help you get your things!"

"Wanwan, let me help you get the hot water!""Have you had breakfast? I have some steamed buns here. Do you want to have a bite?"

Hu Shengli took out a flattened steamed bun from his pocket, and it looked hard.

Jiang Wanwan politely refused, "No, I'm not hungry."

She was actually cold and hungry, but looking at the steamed bun in the dirty hands, how could she have an appetite to eat it.

Lu Qingyang ignored them and filled a pot of hot water directly. When he came out of Uncle Tie in the morning, he steamed a few corn cobs. He and Sun Qianjin each had three, which should be enough for their meals for a day.

In fact, there was more than that. He also had a bag of peach cakes with sesame seeds, a bag of golden chicken biscuits, and a handful of candies in his pocket, which was enough to eat.

Han Zhiqiang reminded: "Hurry up, time is almost up."

Lu Qingyang hurriedly caught up with the team with the thermos.

Qingshan Forest Farm in Daanling is a forest farm that has just been prepared for development. The transportation tools have not been built yet, and the transportation trucks have not been allocated. For the time being, we can only walk up the mountain.

The road up the mountain is steep, and everyone took a lot of effort to climb up the forest farm.

Arriving at the forest farm is another scene.

The front suddenly opened up, and tall pine trees stood in front of us, with tall trees standing next to each other, and there was no end in sight.

Occasionally, you can hear the sound of the wind blowing in the forest, and it is indeed colder on the mountain.

A simple shed has been built on the mountain, which should be a camp for rest on weekdays.

The old educated youth who are familiar with the process took the tools allocated and were ready to go to work first.

Han Zhiqiang pointed to a road not far away, "There is a railway being built there for transporting timber. When it is completed, we won't have to walk up. These tools are for you. You are new here, so look at how others do it. Do some simple work first, such as pruning trees. Remember, when a tree is about to fall, don't get close to it. It can cost lives if you are not careful."

Everyone was stunned.

Only Lu Qingyang looked at the endless green and yellow mountains and forests.

Standing on a high place and looking at it, he couldn't help but sigh at the great mountains and rivers of the motherland, how magnificent.

In the past, I was only concerned with school and postgraduate entrance examinations, and I had no time to go out for a walk.

The cold air seemed to be filled with the fragrance of leaves, which was a unique smell belonging to nature.

He originally studied botany, and now he had an occupational disease, so he squatted down and observed the wild plants on the ground.

It was a coincidence that they came at this time. In ten days or half a month, the mountains will completely enter winter.

Therefore, some green plants can still be seen now.

Not far away, there are already classified and felled trees, waiting to be transported down after the railway into the mountain is built.

In addition to logging, Han Zhiqiang reminded them, "We have to eat lunch in the mountains. If you can hunt some wild game during the break, you can give it to the hunting team of the brigade and it will count as work points. You can also keep it for yourself. However, there are no people living in this forest, so you can just hunt in this area. Don't go too far away, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

"What's so dangerous about it." Hu Shengli patted his chest, "I'm here. I've been practicing shooting with my father since I was a child. I can hit the target every time."

Han Zhiqiang has seen many new educated youth who like to show off: "There are blind bears and wolves in there, the kind that eat people!"
