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

Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan stayed at her parents' house for two days. On Saturday the 13th, they 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 you guys should be back today. How have you been these past few days? Your father-in-law and mother-in-law are fine on both sides? 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. Instead, he 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.
