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

There are requirements for young forest tending, and the pass rate must be above 95%.

After the work is completed on each piece of land, forestry technicians will come over to inspect and accept it.

If it is not up to standard, not only will it need to be reworked, but money will also be deducted.

Sheng Xiping is the captain of the educated youth and is responsible for managing this group of people, so he not only has to shovel saplings, but also has to keep an eye on these people as they work.

The local people at the Maekawa Forest Farm are better off. After all, when they were in school, they participated in the afforestation competition every year and could do most of the work.

Especially those educated youth who have settled down a few years ago are very skilled in these tasks.

But the group of people who came from Songjianghe couldn't do it. They had never worked on this land before. Even though they had worked on this land for several days, they still didn't get it.

Especially those female educated youths, who just started working for a while, one complained that their hands hurt, and the other complained that their backs hurt.

"How are you? Are you tired? Does your hand hurt?

If your hands hurt, just slow down. I'll shovel this ridge and come back to pick you up. "

Sheng Xiping was next to Zhou Qinglan and asked softly as he passed by her.

Zhou Qinglan raised her hand, wiped the sweat from her temples and neck with the back of her hand, and then shook her head.

"It's okay, I can persist. We come to the forest farm just to exercise. How can we stop doing it just because of this little hardship?"

"Well, then be careful and watch your step."

This young forest is only three years old and has not grown very high. Young forest tending is carried out every year, and there are not many weeds and shrubs.

So if you can't hide animals like snakes, they are generally not dangerous.

Moreover, there were so many people here and the noise was quite loud. Even if there were wild animals around, they would have been scared away.

Sheng Xiping reminded Zhou Qinglan that he just wanted her to pay attention to her feet. This foot is higher than the bottom of the foot, so she doesn't accidentally sprain her ankle.

I don't know if it was because of the heat or something else, but Zhou Qinglan felt that her face was burning hot.

She was too embarrassed to talk to Sheng Xiping anymore, so she just nodded and said yes, which was regarded as agreement.

When Sheng Xiping saw this situation, he didn't say anything more and used the hoe to cut up the weeds on the back and platform of the ridge very quickly.

This land was originally planted with saplings in large ridges. The ridges were so long and wide that one ridge would take almost an entire afternoon.

Sheng Xiping moved quickly, hurriedly plowing his own ridge, and turned back to meet Zhou Qinglan.

Other young men who have a partner basically operate in this way.

Those girls who don't have a partner have no choice but to grit their teeth and finish the job.

The summer was long, and we worked until about five o'clock in the afternoon. Then everyone packed up their tools and went out.

They had to walk four or five miles along the shadow of the road that had been opened by logging before they could wait near the small train track of the second branch line.

There are commuter cars specially designed to pick up and drop off workers at the site, usually with a diesel locomotive pulling several carriages.

If there are many people working on the mountain, sometimes a few trucks and buckets will be hung up.

The trumpet that Sheng Xiping and the others were working on was harvested a few years ago. After large-scale clear-cutting, the mountains were closed for forestation.

Therefore, except for the previous afforestation and young forest tending, no one comes here on weekdays.

Especially on both sides of the shadow of the road, the secondary forests that have not been logged or have grown up are densely populated with trees and shrubs.

In such a place, it is easy to hide some small animals or birds.

A group of young men and women, they are young and energetic. Even after working for a day, they are still full of energy.

Several young men walked and sang.

Not to mention the singing, it has to be out of tune or out of tune. Fortunately there are no wolves around here, otherwise the wolves can be attracted.

Some people were short of hands, so they randomly picked up a stone and threw it into the grass nearby.

It was a coincidence that someone just happened to startle a few pheasants at this time.

Pheasants and hares are the most common birds and animals in the Changbai Mountain forest area.

Pheasants mostly live on forest edges, bushes or in weedy areas, and occasionally enter sparse woods to feed.

Pheasants mostly breed in spring and usually build their nests in shrubs or low woods.

The nest is very crudely built, just find a hollow and lay some hay or dead branches and leaves in it.

In spring and summer, pheasants usually forage in the morning and evening. After the sun rises, they return to their nests and come out again at dusk.

These pheasants were probably a family, and they happened to be out looking for food in the evening, but they were disturbed by someone.

Several pheasants flew up from the bushes, attracting everyone's attention.

"Pheasants, there are pheasants." Several people shouted loudly.

When they shouted, the pheasant flew faster, but what was faster than the pheasant was Sheng Xiping's slingshot.

When walking out from inside, Sheng Xiping had a slingshot in his hand.

This slingshot is well made and has excellent elasticity. The projectiles are steel balls obtained from the small repair shop.

Sheng Xiping has been playing with slingshots since he was a child. With this slingshot in his hand, it can be said that he can hit wherever he points with perfect accuracy.

Even his master said that this slingshot was incredible.

Sheng Xiping couldn't bring a shotgun when he went up to work in the mountains, but he knew there were a lot of wild animals in the woods, so he brought a slingshot.

I thought that if I hit anyone I encountered, it would be a good idea to take it home and improve my life.

When he just came out, Sheng Xiping buckled the marbles and was always ready.

Pheasants that are frightened will usually have a habitual movement.

They will first fly vertically upward from shrubs or grass, and then fly horizontally into the distance.

When the pheasant changes from flying vertically to flying horizontally, there will be a turning movement in the air.

At this time, its speed will be slower, and it needs to coordinate the balance of the body, and there will be a very short pause.

This is the best time to shoot pheasants, and experienced hunters will take advantage of this fleeting opportunity.

Although I stopped hunting in my last life and my skills may be unfamiliar, the body's own muscle memory is still there.

With so many years of experience, hunting a pheasant is still a piece of cake.

Hunters need to estimate the height and distance the pheasants will fly and allow for lead time.

An old hunter passed down a jingle, "Hit the mouth horizontally, hit the legs smoothly, and hit the wings diagonally."

Sheng Xiping aimed at the pheasant's beak and shot the projectile. The steel ball hit the pheasant's head. The pheasant, which was just about to fly flat, fluttered and fell into the grass.

The other pheasants had already flown away, and it was too late for Sheng Xiping to load the marbles and launch them.

He was not greedy, and ran directly in the direction where the pheasant fell, and picked up a dying male pheasant from the grass.

"Brother Xiping, you are too powerful, aren't you? We haven't even reacted yet, and you just knocked down the pheasant.

Oops, it's a male pheasant. It looks quite big. It's big enough for a meal. "

Only then did everyone react, cheering and surrounding Sheng Xiping, saying with envy.

"This is a pheasant. It's so beautiful."

Zhou Qinglan, who had never seen a pheasant since she was a child in the city, came forward curiously and looked at the pheasant in Sheng Xiping's hand with bright eyes.
