Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forestry farm

Sheng Liancheng's words still work.

Starting from the next day, Sheng Xian and Sheng Xikang got up as soon as the rooster crowed in the morning, fetching water, chopping firewood, and tidying up the garden.

During the day, the two of them went to work in the family team, and by the way, they could also collect some trees and other things for firewood.

In summer, you don’t need a heated kang to light a fire, just cook.

In contrast, trees chopped into two-foot-long pieces can be used to make fire for cooking faster when dry, which is better than chopping firewood into wooden pails.

It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you are willing to work and don't go out and mess around, that's fine.

Sheng Liancheng and his wife don't have many demands. When their children are older, it's not easy for them to understand their parents, so they can just help share the burden with the family.

Coincidentally, within two days, the forest farm allocated rooms.

Qianchuan Forest Farm was built in 1964. Initially, workers used their spare time to build wood-carved mud houses.

Winters in Northeast China are extremely cold, and the frozen soil layer can reach nearly two meters.

Wooden houses have shallow foundations and are prone to frost damage.

In the winter, the ground freezes up, but in spring it gets warmer and then falls again.

During this time, the structure of the house was damaged.

No matter how solid they were built at that time, even if they were repaired every year, those houses would deteriorate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Therefore, the forestry farm built another batch of public housing this year and allocated them to the employees of the unit based on their seniority and other conditions.

Sheng Liancheng has been working in the forestry system since the 1950s, and has been working in the forestry system for more than 20 years now, both in terms of length of service and rating.

Therefore, the forest farm decided to allocate a public house to the Sheng family.

The Sheng family was allocated two public houses, and after drawing lots, the location was determined.

To the east of the forest farm, it happens to be the house at the end of the road. There is a large open space to the east.

“The house came down, it only has two rooms, it’s too small, it’s not enough for our whole family to move in.

I was thinking about how we could arrange it after we discussed it. "

That evening, Sheng Liancheng and his son arrived home. Before the food was put away, the family discussed the house first.

The new house is made of bricks and tiles, which is a hundred times better than the mud and thatched house here.

Normally, after the house is divided, the whole family should be packed up and moved in. It doesn’t matter if we don’t want the mud and thatched house here.

But the house over there is too small, with only two rooms. There is not enough room for the eight members of the Sheng family, no matter how much they plan.

Not to mention, Sheng Xiping already has a partner and will get married next year if he can't keep it.

In the future, if we add an imported child to our family, two houses will not be enough to live in.

"What I mean is, otherwise, we can just go to the east end of the house and connect another one to one and a half rooms by ourselves.

When it is opened, the house will be big, almost enough to live in.

Otherwise, we can only leave the public house to the eldest brother for his wedding, and our family will still live here. What do you think is reasonable? "

Sheng Liancheng took a puff of cigarette, looked up at his wife and children, and asked.

“My father, with this policy, can we build it ourselves?

Didn't the superiors send a document two years ago saying that cadres and employees are not allowed to build their own houses?

If we build a house, can the superiors refuse to allow it and give you a punishment or something? It's not worth it. "

Zhang Shuzhen is more worried about this. If her husband is implicated, he will be punished or something, but it will not be worth it.

“Let’s just put it this way, where have you seen less houses being built in recent years?

Needless to say, in our forest farm, every household in Songjianghe Town has built a house or a warehouse. Can the superiors take care of it? "

Sheng Liancheng shook his head and said nonchalantly.

"Then the house in the house is not enough to live in, so can people sleep on the street?"

The Songjianghe Forestry Bureau selected a site to build the bureau in 1957, and it was officially completed in 1958. It has only been 16 or 17 years now.

In the early days of the founding of the bureau, there was a shortage of labor.

But at that time, there were only 50,000 to 60,000 people in the county in Fusong, and most of them suffered from moisture and Kashin-Beck disease, so the local government had no spare capacity to support the construction of the Forestry Bureau.

Therefore, the Forestry Bureau can only recruit workers from Qilu and other places to support forestry construction in Northeast China.

At the beginning, the conditions were difficult, and many young people from Qilu could not endure the hardship and went back.

Most of those who can stay are because their families are really poor and can't survive, so they have to go out and find a way out.

How many of these people have wives and children at home?

A single errand boy came to the Northeast. After a few years, he got married, returned to his hometown, married a beautiful and good-looking wife, and then had children and lived a happy life.

Nowadays, there is no particular plan. Every family has four or five children, and some have seven or eight more children.

When those two small shabby houses were no longer enough, who didn't try their best to add a house and a half? Otherwise, how can we live in the open?

This kind of thing cannot be prohibited at all. So what? Once it's covered, can it still be removed?

"I think we should be more cautious. The house at this end is not bad. We repair it every year, so it's not too dilapidated.

Let's live here for now, and we'll clean up the other side and leave it for the boss to get married. "

Zhang Shuzhen still feels that it is not safe. Anyway, the house here is still there, so let's live there for now and don't cause unnecessary trouble.

"Mom, how can any parent live in an old house while their son goes to live in a new house?"

After hearing what her mother said, Sheng Xiping hurriedly expressed his position.

"I think what my dad said is reasonable. If it doesn't work, we can connect a two-bedroom house and move in together when the time comes.

Otherwise, we move to a new house and leave this old house for my wedding. "

In my previous life, I had a house and a half built next to the public house allocated by my work unit.

It was changed to two beds in the north and south. The south bed was made up of Sheng Liancheng and his two daughters, and the north bed was left to Sheng Xi'an and his three brothers.

It was originally planned that Westinghouse would be left for Sheng Xiping to get married, but unexpectedly something happened before Sheng Xiping could get engaged.

When the house was built, no one said anything. It seems that the policy was later changed to allow families to build houses.

Sheng Liancheng and his son agreed that they could take over the house. What else could Zhang Shuzhen say?

"Then just listen to you two. Anyway, it's you who do the work, and I can do the cooking and stuff. I can't do anything else."

In this way, the family decided to build an additional room to one and a half rooms at the east end of the new house.

“Anyway, our family has enough wood saved, and we can go to Qianshan and cut stones and other things ourselves.

Sand is also simple, just dig it in the river.

There are bricks and tiles left. I plan to go to the field tomorrow and ask if they can be evened out. "

There are plenty of bricks, tiles, cement, and white ash to build public buildings and clubs in the field. It will be enough to spread some and bring them back.

"The small repair shop is not busy. I go there every day to do some work. If there is no work, I will break rocks and dig sand to prepare materials.

It just so happens that the second and third sons are on summer vacation, so don’t do the family team work and come with me. "

Sheng Liancheng is the head of the family, so of course he has to make arrangements.

“Boss, is your educated youth team’s silviculture and production speeding up?

Waiting for the forestry work to be finished, you will also take leave for the time being, and the four of us will build the house with a little effort. "

The family is full of male laborers, so they are not afraid of work.

It's just a house and a half. I can definitely build it during the summer vacation.
