Excluding the nine new educated youth, Zhu Xiaomin summarized the tasks of the educated youth: "Although we are not doing manual labor, it will be very tiring to watch over the construction site the whole time, and the children's classes here cannot be delayed. After the project starts, we will readjust the groupings. Eight people will go to the construction site at a time, and they will be replaced every three days. In order to achieve better connection in management, two people will be replaced at a time. The replaced people can go to class the next day and have a proper rest."

"There are a lot of things to do in the early stages, so the old educated youth who don't have classes, me, Chen Xudong and Chen Danqing, and the remaining five new educated youth, will all go there and join the transfer after the project is straightened out." Xie Chengzhi said.

When Fang Qing heard that she was included, she immediately asked, "Where's Miao Shiwen?"

Xie Chengzhi said: "Miao Shiwen is the general manager of the base. She can't be spared and is still in charge of the base. In addition, Chen Xudong and Chen Danqing also have their own work to be responsible for, so they can't stay at the construction site all the time."

Fang Qing sneered: "Why are the three of us female educated youth doing the same work as men?"

Xie Chengzhi shook his head: "We educated youth are responsible for management, not physical work. It's not that female educated youth can't do it." After he paused, he added, "Of course, if there are special circumstances, you can also take a break."

Married people even understand this.

Zhu Xiaomin couldn't help but be amused.

Fang Qing looked cold, looked at Zhu Xiaomin, and asked provocatively: "What about Zhu Zhiqing? Is he just a commander?"

if not?

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "This factory is an important project in my hands. I will naturally go there, but I won't live there. I will come back after giving instructions."

Fang Qing: “…”

If people say that you only conduct, then you really say that you conduct.

Song Zhian and the others couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

After the personnel arrangements were completed, the next thing was the work that needed to be done on the construction site. By the time everything was arranged, it was already late at night.

The next morning, as agreed, everyone packed up early and gathered at the gate of the yard. The eight educated youth from the first group and the remaining seven people including Xie Chengzhi and Zhu Xiaomin were all there, only Fang Qing was missing.

Wang Liwan ran in and shouted, then came out with a helpless look on her face: "She said she is sick and won't go today."

"Then let's go." Zhu Xiaomin said, and led the team to the front.

Next to the threshing ground, there was already a fleet of tractors and six donkey carts loaded with tools and materials for fencing.

Xia Dongliang, Xia Laogen and others had just finished counting the number of people. When they saw Zhu Xiaomin and his group coming over, they immediately said, "Zhu Zhiqing, we are all here. Let's all get in the car."

One tractor and six donkey carts, even without any luggage, could not carry more than a hundred people, so naturally others planned to walk.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded and said to Xie Chengzhi, "Let's go over there first, unload the things, and then come back to pick up the people."

Xie Chengzhi nodded, asked Chen Xudong to take four people to follow Zhu Xiaomin onto the tractor, and he stayed behind to accompany everyone.

The tractor was carrying mostly tools. When they arrived at the address chosen by the factory, Chen Xudong took four people to unload the tools on the roadside first, let the tractor go back to pick up the people, and followed Zhu Xiaomin to start demarcating the scope of the factory.

The tractor made several trips and picked up all the people. Six donkey carts had also arrived. Everyone unloaded the carts and let the donkey carts go back first. The one hundred people were divided into groups of ten, led by ten educated youths. Each group was responsible for a section and began to build fences for the construction site.

They were all people who were used to doing the work and the materials were prepared in advance, so the fence was completed in just two hours.

The next step is to build a temporary shed for everyone to live in.

It is called a work shed, but in fact it is just a simple shack. Several people build it together, and it is windproof and rainproof on top. Thick hay is placed inside, and finally the cotton wool they bring is thrown in, and it is complete.

The next most important thing is to build a stove for cooking.

By the time people from other teams arrived, there were more than a thousand people on the construction site. It would not work if there were not enough stoves, and it would not work if they were all concentrated together.

According to the plan, a place was selected and forty large stoves were set up, in groups of ten, to enclose an open space, and an operating table was built in the middle of the open space.

On the first day, at noon, a large team of tractors delivered lunch. In the afternoon, several large stoves and ingredients were delivered. Also coming were several sisters-in-law who were selected to cook. Like everyone else, they took turns every seven days.

More than a hundred people worked hard throughout the whole day and finally finished all the work before dark.

Wang Liwan looked at the row of shacks with a somewhat stiff expression. She looked at Zhu Xiaomin several times and finally asked, "Zhu...Zhu Zhiqing, shall we...sleep here too?"

Not to mention that the entire construction site is inhabited by strong men from the village, even the fact that this shack is only protected by straw curtains in front and back still feels very unsafe.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "Let's go back with the tractor and come back tomorrow."

Wang Liwan then nodded hurriedly, and even Guo Xingqi breathed a sigh of relief.

Twelve male educated youth stayed behind, while Xie Chengzhi, Zhu Xiaomin and two female educated youth followed Xia Dongliang back on the tractor.

The next day, the four people got up early again, went to the threshing ground to meet up with the people from the second and third brigades, and went to the construction site together.

This time, the tractors of the Second and Third Brigades carried their respective tools and rations for the group, while the First Brigades were carrying the stones that had been transported out yesterday.

In the following few days, each team joined in according to the previous order. When it came to the Seventh Team, in addition to tools and rations, the Seventh Team also brought lime.

After that, every day was like this. A few people went out early and came back late, watching the barren slopes that were originally full of rocks being dug and filled. When each team of members entered the site, the educated youth would assign them work tasks.

By the time all the teams had entered the site, this large area had already been flattened, and they began to mark lines and build factory buildings.

On the eighth day, a large group of people changed shifts. More than a hundred people left tiredly, and another hundred took over full of energy.

On the ninth day, the second and third brigades changed shifts, and on the tenth day, the fourth and fifth brigades…

Things were completely sorted out, Wang Liwan and Guo Xingqi withdrew first, and continued to plant trees with the team. Later, Chen Xudong and Chen Danqing also withdrew, and took turns to go back and forth every day to record the progress of the project.

The other two new educated youth were incorporated into the rotation team along with Song Zhian, Xing Qingsheng and 28 other people.

Watching the project progressing in an orderly manner, Zhu Xiaomin arranged for Chen Danqing and Chen Xudong to continue to follow up on the progress of the project. She handed over the deployment of manpower on the educated youth side to Xie Chengzhi, and packed up to return to the city.

Miao Shiwen felt sorry for her as she had been so busy for the past ten days, so she advised her, "It won't take just one or two days. Take a rest for two days before going back."

Zhu Xiaomin also felt a little tired, so after thinking about it, she nodded in agreement.
