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

As soon as the winter vacation comes, most of the children go out to herd sheep and play harps all day long, and don't come home until it's time to eat.

The Sheng family members are all grown up and quite sensible, so they take the time to do their homework in the first few days.

There are no winter vacation homework books these days. The teacher just leaves two small-script books, and some essays, diaries, etc. for senior students.

There is not much homework, so if you work hard, you can finish it in three to five days.

Sheng Xitai learned his lesson this time and followed his brothers and sisters to do his homework first. He had nothing to think about after all the homework was finished. He could play as much as he wanted without fear of getting beaten.

Needless to say, Chen Feng was young and had little homework, so he completed it quickly.

After finishing their homework, the two little ones were completely free to let themselves go.

After dinner in the morning, we went out to either climb the slopes or skate on the river, or a few people got together to play ice-skating. Anyway, they had plenty of things to play with.

It was so cold outside in the twelfth lunar month of winter, but these children didn't feel it at all. They wore thick cotton jackets, cotton trousers, cotton hats, and cotton handbags. Their faces were all red from the cold, but they were having a great time playing.

One thing is that every night when I go home, my shoes are wet and I have to find a place to dry them.

There is a fire wall in the west room, but only Sheng Xinhua's clothes and bedclothes cannot be placed there. Where is there room for Sheng Xitai and Chen Feng to dry their shoes?

Therefore, the shoes of these two people could only be placed in front of the stove or pit in the outer room and dried slowly.

One day, Sheng Xitai and the others were playing a hide-and-seek game outside. They dug holes out of several large snowdrifts in the field and hid them inside for others to find.

At the end of the day, the shoes were filled with snow, and the big-toed cotton shoes were soaked through.

As soon as she got home, Zhang Shuzhen saw it and was so angry that she almost beat Sheng Xitai.

At least everyone persuaded Sheng Xitai to avoid the beating, but what about the shoes?

The pair Sheng Xitai wore was newly bought by Zhang Shuzhen after winter.

Nowadays, it would be nice to have a new pair of shoes for the winter. Many people pick up old shoes from older brothers and sisters, mend them and wear them for another year.

Sheng Xitai's shoes are soaked. If they are not dried at night, there will be no shoes to wear tomorrow.

So, after having dinner, the boy placed two bricks outside the door of the stove pit.

Then put the shoes sideways on the bricks, with the shoe openings facing the stove pit, hoping to dry the shoes as quickly as possible through the heat of the stove pit.

Normally, Sheng Xitai and Chen Feng's shoes would only get wet on the outer layer, not as wet as today.

Sheng Xitai was worried that the remaining fire in the stove pit was not enough, so he filled the stove pit with more firewood while the family was not paying attention.

As a result, when ten o'clock came around in the evening, Zhang Shuzhen smelled the smell of burnt rubber mixed with paste.

"Where does this smell come from?" Zhang Shuzhen couldn't sleep, so she got up quickly, lit a candle, and followed the smell.

There was nothing unusual in the inner room, so Zhang Shuzhen held the candle and went to the outer room. As soon as she opened the door to the east room, there was a choking smell in the outer room, which made Zhang Shuzhen cough.

It happened that Sheng Xiping also noticed something was wrong, so he got up to check.

"Oh, what's burning? Does it smell like burning rubber?"

As soon as the door to the west room opened, Sheng Xiping almost choked.

He quickly closed the door to the west room, not even bothering to check where the smell came from, and quickly opened the door to the outer room for ventilation.

At this time, Zhang Shuzhen, holding a candle, had already arrived in front of the stove pit.

"Oh, whose shoes are these? Why are they burnt?

You prodigal, why do you block your shoes in front of the pit door? A good pair of shoes, most of them were burned. "

Zhang Shuzhen picked up the shoes and looked at them, and started to curse in anger.

Sheng Xiping also came over, took a closer look, and couldn't help but shake his head.

The two bricks were too close to the stove door, and there was still a fire in the stove. After drying the shoes, the shoelaces were also burned, and most of the shoes were burned.

Judging from the size of these shoes, they should be Sheng Xitai's.

Even Sheng Xiping could recognize it, let alone Zhang Shuzhen. How could anything in the house escape her eyes?

"Sheng Xitai, get here." The angry Zhang Shuzhen shouted towards the back room, regardless of the fact that it was midnight.

In the east room, Sheng Xikang, Sheng Xitai, and Chen Feng slept on the north kang, while Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei slept on the south kang with their mother.

Sheng Xitai was sleeping soundly, and his mother didn't hear him when she called him, but Sheng Xikang heard it and quickly woke up Sheng Xitai.

"Lao Liu, get up quickly, our mother is calling you, what have you done?"

Sheng Xitai was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by his brother. He thought it was dawn, so he sat up with a start.

Just at this time, Zhang Shuzhen shouted again, which frightened Sheng Xitai and hurriedly crawled out of bed without wearing shoes, and jumped to the outhouse with bare feet.

"What happened? What happened?" At this moment, Sheng Xitai was still confused.

"What did you say? Did you throw firewood into the pot pit again? Look at these shoes, what have they become?"

Zhang Shuzhen threw the burned shoes in front of Sheng Xitai.

With the weak light of the candle, Sheng Xitai picked up his cotton shoes, looked at them, and immediately understood that he had burned the shoes.

"Oh, my shoes, my new shoes, I have no shoes to wear."

I don’t know how the shoes were burned. Even the soles were half baked, and they couldn’t be repaired even if they wanted to.

Sheng Xitai only had a pair of new shoes, but he had made them look like this. He couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears.

"Okay, let you go out and play guitar every day. This house won't be able to accommodate you. You won't be home all day long, and your shoes will get wet all day long.

Okay this time, I don’t have any shoes, where are you going to run? "Zhang Shuzhen was so angry that she really wanted to slap her old son hard.

When Zhang Shuzhen said this, Sheng Xitai cried even harder.

Sheng Xiping looked at it from the side and said, "This is not okay. What should I do if I scare the children with howling ghosts and wolves in the middle of the night?"

Besides, the shoes are already like this, even if they beat Sheng Xitai, they can't recover.

Sheng Xitai lost a new pair of shoes. This lesson was enough. There was no need to train him again.

"Mom, don't be angry. Lao Liu didn't mean it. He just wanted to dry the shoes quickly."

There was still a strange smell of burnt rubber in the house, but the mothers had little clothing and could not freeze, so Sheng Xiping closed the door to the outer room and patiently comforted his mother.

"What happened this time will teach Lao Liu a lesson. He will definitely not dare to get his shoes wet in the future.

Come on, go into the house and go to sleep. If he cries like this at night, others will think something is wrong with our family. "

Zhang Shuzhen was obviously still angry, "He learned a lesson? When will he learn a lesson?

Anyway, I don’t have the money to buy him new shoes. If I can, he will run out barefoot tomorrow. "

In an era when supplies were scarce, a pair of shoes cost several yuan. No wonder Zhang Shuzhen was so angry. She cared about things and money.

Sheng Xiping naturally understood, but he could only persuade Zhang Shuzhen to go back to the house and sleep.

Here, Sheng Xitai was quickly dragged back to the house. This kid was just wearing a shirt and underpants. The door to the outer room was open for a long time. It was quite cold. What should I do if he is frozen?
