Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan stayed at her parents' house for two days. On Saturday No. 13, the two got up early and took a car back to the forest farm.

After getting off the train, Zhou Qinglan asked Sheng Xiping to go home first, while she went straight to school.

Zhou Qinglan has only taken over the class for a short time, but she gets along well with the children.

She got married and returned home in a row. She was absent from school for four or five days because she was really thinking about her children.

Sheng Xiping watched his wife hurrying towards the school at the west end of the forest farm. He couldn't help but shake his head, picked up the things in his hands, and walked towards his home.

"Xiping, are you back? Where is your wife?"

As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I saw Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo walking towards me.

At a glance, it was clear that these people had come to Sheng's house to find Sheng Xiping after hearing the train coming into the station.

"She's worried about the children in class. Let's go to the school first. What's wrong? Is there something going on with you guys? Come on, let's go into the house and talk."

No matter what happened, you couldn't stand at the door and talk, you had to let people in.

Wang Jianshe and several others followed Sheng Xiping into the house.

On Saturday, school was still in session, and Sheng Liancheng probably went to a small repair shop, so Zhang Shuzhen was the only one at home.

Zhang Shuzhen doesn't like to hang out with other women, nor does she like to chat with those women about their affairs.

When I have nothing to do, I do some sewing at home.

Isn't this when Sheng Xiping got married and Zhang Shuzhen knitted him a new sweater?

Zhang Shuzhen thought about it, dismantling the old one, washing the wool, and adding a few taels of new thread to knit a sweater for Sheng Xi'an.

Otherwise, mix some nylon thread and weave woolen pants.

This is the case nowadays. If you wear a sweater for two years, the threads in the hem, cuffs, collar, and elbows will become seriously worn.

Usually the sweater is dismantled, the wool is scalded and washed with boiling water, then some new thread is added, and it is knitted again.

Three years of new life, three years of old life, and another three years of sewing. This is about clothes.

The same goes for sweaters. If you tinker with it and add some threads to knit it, it can last for several years.

When Sheng Xiping came in, Zhang Shuzhen was wrapping yarn.

She was alone, and there was no one to support the yarn, so she sat cross-legged, put the yarn on her legs, and slowly wound the wool into a ball along the end of the thread.

The dogs at home are still at Liu's house.

It was not possible to farm at this time of year, so the Liu brothers had nothing to do, so they took the dogs into the mountains to hunt the next day, and took advantage of the time to paddle back more.

After a while, the fields will be busy. How can I still have time to go hunting in the mountains?

Gouzi was not at home, so there was no movement when Sheng Xiping and others came in.

However, Sheng Xiping still shouted into the room, "Mom, I'm back."

Zhang Shuzhen was sitting on the kang in the east room for a while. She hadn't finished wrapping the knitting yarn on her legs, so she didn't get off the ground. She only stretched her head and glanced into the outer room.

"I guess it's time for you to come back today. How have you been these past few days? Are your father-in-law and mother-in-law doing fine? Are you okay?"

Zhang Shuzhen asked as she continued to wind the thread without stopping her work.

Sheng Xiping led Wang Jianshe and others into the house, and happened to see Zhang Shuzhen working.

Wang Jianshe was particularly discerning. He immediately went over and asked for Zhang Shuzhen's thread, holding it with both hands.

When Zhang Shuzhen was winding the thread, Wang Jianshe could also shake his hands to cooperate, so that the thread could be wound faster.

Sheng Xiping put down everything in his hands and his backpack, then poured a glass of water and drank it.

"Well, nothing happened there, everything was fine. On the day I came back, I had two tables set up at home, and several leaders from the bureau were there."

Sheng Xiping briefly told his mother about returning home.

"Qinglan has returned to school. She is worried about those children. She probably won't be able to go home until school is over at noon."

Regarding this, Zhang Shuzhen didn't say anything. Since her daughter-in-law has become a teacher, it is normal for her to put students first.

"As long as it's okay, I'll cook later. Jianshe, you guys can eat here too. I'll cook more for lunch."

"Auntie, no need, we won't eat here. We came to Xiping just to ask him if he wants to go hunting."

When Wang Jianshe heard this, he quickly shook his head to express that they would not eat here.

"Yesterday, a few of us went up the mountain and found a Heixiazicang. We were thinking about finding Xiping and going to kill the Heixiazicang together."

In winter, there is heavy snow and food is scarce, making it difficult to eat.

In order to survive the harsh winter, many animals choose to hibernate.

For example, the black blind man usually finds a tree hole or stone cave to live in at the end of October and the beginning of November every year.

He slept until the end of March or early April next year, when the snow outside melted, and then he crawled out of the hole.

This behavior of the black blind man hibernating is called squatting by the locals. The tree hole is generally called Tiancangzi, and the stone cave is called Dicangzi.

"What did you go into the mountain for?" Sheng Xiping didn't pay attention to Heixiazicang, but was more concerned about why Wang Jianshe and the others went into the mountain.

He was worried that these Huba Chaoer would go into the mountains and cause trouble while he was not at home.

Last time, the jackals were attracted and caused harm to many livestock in the forest farm. They spent a lot of effort to get rid of the group of jackals. They must not cause trouble this time.

"Collecting firewood, what else can we do? The firewood distributed by the work team is all wet. Let's go into the mountains and find a place to stand." Wang Jianshe and others laughed.

"Just as we were walking southwest from our forest farm, before reaching Zhang Lianxiang Hill, we came across Tiancangzi, a very big poplar tree, but the three of us were stunned and didn't pick it up.

There was a tree hole about three or four meters above the ground. I shined a flashlight into it, and there was a black blind man living inside. "

After hearing these words, Sheng Xiping rolled his eyes, these bear things can't be stopped.

How far do you have to go to the mountains to pick up firewood?They clearly wanted to shoot rabbits in the grass and see what wild animals they could hunt.

You are so cautious, but you still want to fool him?

"That's nonsense. It's already mid-April, and the black blind man has already left the warehouse. Can I still wait for you to kill him?"

At the end of March and the beginning of April, when the temperature gradually rises, the black blind man in the cave will also sense the changes in the outside world and come out of the barn to look for food.

Of course, the solar terms here at Maekuan Forest Farm are late and the temperature in the mountains is low, so there is a certain chance that the black blind man is still squatting in the warehouse.

"The warehouse we saw was on the sunny slope, and the black blind man left the warehouse late. I looked with a flashlight, and it was really inside." Wang Jianshe made several assurances.

It is said that the black blind man squatting in a warehouse on a sunny slope sees a shady slope.

The snow melted late on the shady slopes, so Heixiazi thought it was still winter and would leave the warehouse a little later.

The black blind man on the shady slope sees the sunny slope. The snow melts early on the sunny slope, so the black blind man on the shady slope leaves the warehouse early.

This statement has always been true, but it may not be true.

The black blind man squats in a warehouse not just looking for a place randomly when winter comes, but he starts looking for targets, demarcating territory, and cleaning up the warehouse before autumn comes.

Generally speaking, black blind men will try their best to find a tree hole with leeward direction and sunny side. Unless they are forced to do so, few black blind men will choose a shady slope.

"Xiping, let's go up the mountain with our dogs and guns tomorrow to have a look. I swear I saw a black blind man inside."

Those few were a little anxious and said very definitely.

From the end of the winter season to the start of afforestation in May, there is little work in between.

Regular workers get a basic salary, but people like Sheng Xiping get nothing and live off the wages earned during the winter production.

Sheng Xiping is doing better. He is married, and Zhou Qinglan is paid as a substitute teacher.

Of course, after spending so much money on getting married and having to live a happy life in the future, no one thinks money is too much.

Not to mention Wang Jianshe and the others, they are still singles.

Chen Weiguo took the initiative to express his feelings to Liu Hongxia a few days ago, but Liu Hongxia's parents were not very optimistic about Chen Weiguo. They thought the burden on the Chen family was heavy, especially Wei Min, who felt that he would be a burden in the future.

From what the Liu family said, the Liu family could not agree to the marriage unless Chen Weiguo was willing to separate and live a separate life after getting married.

Not to mention Wang Jianshe, he was optimistic about Li Xue, but Li Xue was an educated youth from Songjianghe.

After all, not everyone is like Zhou Qinglan and doesn't care about the ditches in the town.

Wang Jianshe wants to have a result with Li Xue, but he may not be able to do so without money.

Zhang Zhijun and Pan Fusheng are a bit younger, but not too young. If they don't save some money for a wife, how can they get a wife?

Gao Haining is even more stressed. The child will be born in a few months. Will he not have to spend money to raise children in the future?

Everyone's eyes widened, thinking about how to make money.

Otherwise, how could they go all the way to collect firewood?There must be some ulterior motive.

Everyone wants to make money, but how can there be so many ways to make money these days?When they are in the mountains, besides running around to collect wild goods, aren't they just hunting?

Now that Heixiazicang has been found, what else is there to say?Just go and kill Cangzi and that's it.

They have three guns in their hands, and the Sheng family has four very powerful dogs. Don't you believe that they can't kill a black blind man?

"Okay, let's do it tomorrow. I'll bring the dogs back tonight. We'll take the dogs with us tomorrow just in case."

During this season, the black blind man can leave the warehouse at any time, and bringing a dog can serve as an early warning, just in case.

In this way, a few people decided to go into the mountain, and then Wang Jianshe and the others said goodbye and left.

There was still a while before the lunch meal, and Sheng Xiping had nothing to do, so he accompanied his mother to wind yarn while the two of them chatted for a while.

When 10:30 came, the two of them started making lunch together. Those who went to school came back from work at noon, and the whole family had a lively meal.

In the afternoon, Sheng Xiping took some things to Liu's house and planned to bring back his dogs.

"Master, Mistress, what are you busy with? Hey, the eldest brother and the second brother are also at home."

As soon as they entered Liu's house, they saw Liu Yujiang and Liu Yuhe in the house of Liu Changde and his wife in the front yard. Sheng Xiping said hello with a smile.

"Master, Mistress, I accompanied my wife back home and bought a few boxes of snacks. I brought two boxes to you for a taste."

The two Liu brothers helped Sheng Xiping a lot, both old and young. Sheng Xiping always came back empty-handed and had to bring something with him wherever he went.

Even if Liu Changde and his wife don't eat it, it's okay to give it to the two little guys.

"Hey, Xiping is accompanying his wife back home. She just came back today, right? Look at you, what did you bring when you came home?

Now that you have a wife, you need to know how to live your life in the future, but you can't be as open-handed as before. "

Qin Qiuyan treats Sheng Xiping like her own son. When Sheng Xiping brings something, she has to give some instructions.

"Yes, don't worry, Master. I will definitely pay attention to it in the future." Sheng Xiping naturally appreciated the kindness of Master.

"Big brother and second brother, aren't you busy in the team lately? Isn't it time to prepare seeds or something?"

The solar term here is more than ten days later than that of Songjianghe, and farming usually starts in mid-May.

At this time, the production team should prepare seeds and fertilizers in advance and discuss this year's planting plan.

Moreover, there is a ginseng field in Dajianchang Village. At this time, it is time to put up curtains and build a ginseng shed.

The agricultural team is much busier than the forestry farm, and they can only rest for a few months in winter.

"I'm busy, but it's still not time yet. No matter how busy I am, there will be a limit." Liu Yujiang smiled.

"Huh? By the way, I remembered something while you were here. Does your forest farm also have training every spring?"

"Yes, I guess it's just the last few days. When May comes and the forest farm starts planting trees, there will be no time for training."

The commune has militia training every year, and the forest farm also has a training plan every spring.

Educated youths like Sheng Xiping and others have to participate in training every spring.

"Xiping, I have an idea. If you happen to come over, I will discuss it with you first."

The two Liu brothers looked at each other, and then Liu Yuhe spoke.

"That's right, our brigade is planning to organize militia training in the next few days.

This year’s training program is different. I don’t plan to walk in formation or practice target practice. I want to take them all to the mountains to practice.

Looking back, why don't you talk to the secretary of your forestry farm?Ask the forest farm what it means. How about we join forces this year and have a whole spring hunting competition? "

Sheng Xiping really didn't expect that the Liu brothers would make such a proposal.But if you think about it carefully, this suggestion is quite good.

Whether it is Qianchuan Forest Farm or Dajichang Village, they are all in this deep mountain forest.

There are advantages to living in the woods. It is rich in products, has many opportunities to do side jobs, and can also make money.

But there is one bad thing, that is, there are too many wild animals, especially black blinds and wild boars, which harm both crops and people.

May and June every year are the seasons for harvesting cattle and digging gastrodia elata. It is also the time when black blind men hurt people the most.

Especially at the beginning of spring, when the black blind man has just finished squatting in the warehouse, he is hungry and looking for food everywhere, and he doesn't hide from people when he sees him.

The most terrible thing is the kind of female bear with cubs. Out of the instinct to protect the cubs, it is easy to get violent and hurt people.

And in July and August every year, when the corn begins to ear, wild boars and black pigs take turns entering the crop fields to cause trouble, which is really annoying.

Whether it is a forestry farm or an agricultural team, many people have to be arranged to go to the fields to look after the green seedlings and protect the seedlings. Even so, many crops are still damaged and the harvest is reduced.

But at this time, the vegetation was lush and the line of sight was blocked, which made hunting very difficult.

It would also be an excellent way to do a big sweep at the beginning of spring to remove as many of these wild beasts as possible.

After all, in this era, there is no concept of protecting animals, but anything that affects people's production and life needs to be eliminated.

"Don't talk about it yet. My second brother's suggestion is quite good. Then I'll mention it to the leaders in the field first. Whether it works or not depends on the leaders."

Sheng Xiping thinks it is useless. The key is that the leader thinks it is feasible.

Of course, with Sheng Xiping's understanding of Wang Jiachuan, this should be possible.

After all, every spring, forest farm employees have to go into the mountains to collect cattle and maoguang. Basically every year, some people are attacked and injured by wild animals while doing their side business of gathering cattle and maoguang.

If we can unite with the Great Alkali Field for spring hunting, we can not only train our troops, but also eliminate hidden dangers, killing two birds with one stone.
