Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forestry farm
Chapter 44 Digging a Tunnel
While everyone was busy, time passed quickly and the sky gradually darkened.
In the lighted stadium of the forest farm, a series of electric lights came on.
The temporary electric lights on the construction site were all turned on, illuminating the construction site as if it were daytime.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Sheng Xiping suddenly felt that it looked familiar.
"Huh? Don't you think this is a bit like the scene when we were digging tunnels in Songjiang River when we were studying?"
At that time, there were no middle schools in each forest farm. After Sheng Xiping and others finished elementary school, they went to Songjianghe to attend junior middle school.
The international situation was tense in those two years, and the higher authorities required every household to dig air-raid shelters.
In October, the school organized teachers and students to dig trenches in the vegetable field south of No. 1 Middle School.
The location is four to five hundred meters southeast of No. 1 Middle School, in a vegetable field near the firewood transport road.
At that time, there were ditches and ponds and independent mounds.
Under the leadership of their teacher, Sheng Xiping and others chose a mound and excavated it with picks and shovels.
As a result, people from the armed forces department of the bureau came over to take a look the next day and said that the almost straight trenches were not good and should be changed to zigzag trenches.
So, what was just dug had to be filled in again.
While trenches were being dug here, news came from the other end that a well was to be dug in the center of the school playground.
Explosives are placed below and tested for ground stress after detonation.
This glorious mission happened to fall on Sheng Xiping's class, which was called a platoon at the time.
No one expected that from then on, the whole school of No. 1 Middle School would dig tunnels vigorously.
At that time, the students used sharp picks to break through the frozen layer and hard soil, and dug vertically along a diameter of nearly 20 meters.
After digging to a depth of four to five meters, dig horizontally.
When Sheng Xiping said this, Gao Haining and others all remembered.
"Isn't that right? At that time, we were digging tunnels, which was very powerful. We even used tripods and pulleys.
Later, those day students stole all their own light bulbs and placed them in the tunnels to continue working. "
"Yes, yes, at that time I remember that in order to save time, we didn't use the pulley to send it down, we just jumped down.
Regardless of male or female classmates, they all jumped directly down.
There happens to be a pile of soil underneath, which can provide a buffer. At that time, my body was light and I didn't care.
It seems that one day, I arrived late and you all jumped in early.
I also wanted to jump down, but a female classmate grabbed me and forced me to go down on the pulley.
Fortunately, we went down on a pulley. When I went down, I saw several empty baskets on the mound, as well as shovels and pickaxes.
If I had just jumped that day, I would probably be dead. "
Wang Jianshe also remembered a particularly suspenseful thing at that time. "I don't know where that female classmate is now?"
"What's going on? You still miss me a lot, and you plan to pledge your life to me for saving your life?"
Next to them, Chen Weiguo and Sheng Xiping made fun of Wang Jianshe.
"It's nothing to you, the most fun thing is Fengying, right?
She jumped down once and sat on the mound without moving. We kept shouting from above in panic.
Later we found out that when she jumped down that day, she used too much force and broke the waistband of her pants.
At that time, the news spread throughout the school, and everyone kept laughing at her. "
As expected of being happy enemies who grew up together, Gao Haining immediately brought up Tang Fengying's embarrassing incident back then.
"Ahem, Haining, don't mention this. If Fengying finds out, she'll beat you up."
Sheng Xiping coughed twice and reminded Gao Haining not to get carried away.
Those female educated youths are also around here. If Tang Fengying finds out, Gao Haining will definitely not get the good news.
Gao Haining's expression changed as soon as he heard this, and he quickly looked to the side.
Not seeing Tang Fengying's figure, he breathed a sigh of relief and started chatting with everyone again.
They were all fourteen or fifteen years old at the time. They were young and did not want to study.
With such fun things, everyone can be positive.
Except for eating and sleeping, the rest of the time is spent digging tunnels.
In the end, there were tunnels crisscrossing the ground, connecting everything from the playground to the canteen, dormitories, and classes.
Some students were curious and ran around in the tunnel, coming out of one classroom and then emerging from another classroom.
Later, the tunnel was still being dug and continuously improved. Wooden boards were installed at the entrance of the tunnel, and the main entrance was under the playground podium.
Sheng Xiping vaguely remembered that the roof of the bungalow classroom in the south of No. 1 Middle School was dented.
When No. 1 Middle School renovates the west teaching building, the construction team will be in trouble.
There were so many tunnels dug at that time that they had to be fully explored before construction could begin.
Even so, the teaching building does not have much lifespan.
Before Sheng Xiping was reborn, he heard that the ground in the teaching building to the west was sinking and the building was tilting and cracking.
I heard people say that it was still the influence of tunnel digging back then.
While everyone was working, they reminisced about the past and talked about the interesting things back then, and burst into laughter from time to time.
Time flies by at any time, and before you know it, it's almost ten o'clock.
Usually, the forest farm stops power supply at nine o'clock in the evening, but this time it was extended to ten o'clock in order to work.
The loudspeaker over there started shouting, asking everyone to deal with the work at hand, and to stop temporarily for today, waiting to continue tomorrow night.
Everyone had worked all day during the day, and then came over to work voluntarily for three or four hours at night.
When I got home, I lay down on the kang. I was really too tired to get up.
I didn't care about anything now, I just lay there and slept.
In the morning, Sheng Xiping couldn't get up. No matter how the rooster crowd, he turned over and continued to sleep.
I slept until six o'clock, then got up and hurriedly went to pick up some water and came back.
"Are you exhausted last night? Otherwise, let's go get some sleep."
Zhang Shuzhen also got up to cook. The meal this morning was simple, just some porridge and hot steamed buns.
"Second brother and the others haven't gotten up yet. There's no class today and I didn't ask them to take a nap."
"No, the family team has to work today. The land needs to be plowed up quickly. It will be dry for a few days before radishes can be planted.
Mom, bring me some lunch later.
I won't come back to eat during the lunch break. Instead, I'll go into the woods to dig some Gastrodia elata or something. "
The summer solstice is here and the Gastrodia elata seedlings have been unearthed. This is the best time to dig Gastrodia elata.
At this time, there are not many ways to make money. Gastrodia elata has made a lot of money this season, and Sheng Xiping doesn't want to miss it.
"You are working in the family team, digging gastrodia elata, and doing voluntary work at night. You are too tired.
Aren’t the second and third children not going to class today? I'll tell them later and let them dig gastrodia elata. "
When Zhang Shuzhen heard this, she felt sorry for her son.
"Mom, that nerdy second brother turns around when he enters the forest. Aren't you afraid that he will get lost?
The third child is okay, but he is still young. Do you expect him to do more work? "
Sheng Xiping shook his head. Of the two younger brothers in the family, the third was quite capable, but it was a pity that he was a little younger.
What can I say about the second child? He is good at studying and other things, he is a bit behind.
Thank you all for your tips. I will make a note of the updates first and pay off the debt after it is put on the shelves.
