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

After the ship entered the high seas, the five-star red flag on the ship was raised. On the ships in the distance, various flags were flying.

After forty-eight hours of continuous sailing, the ship finally arrived in Shanghai.

When they arrived at Shiliupu Pier, everyone got off the boat and saw numerous ships of all sizes moored on the Huangpu River, many of which were ocean-going ships flying foreign flags. It was a busy and lively scene.

Shanghai, the largest city in China, is also an international metropolis. It was a place that countless people wanted to go to at that time.

In this era, whether it is a watch, a bicycle, a sewing machine or a radio, as long as it carries the word Shanghai, it is the best synonym for the same product.

Chen Weimin, who came to Shanghai for the first time, was not surprised when he got off the boat and was confused. He couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north.

Thanks to Sheng Xiping following them, after the two got off the boat, they took a motorized tricycle and went to a place where they could stay.

For those who come to Shanghai for business or business these days, you can’t just go wherever you want to stay.

Instead, a department responsible for hotel accommodation in the city calls each hotel to contact them for delivery.

Sheng Xiping and the others took a car to the relevant department and took out the letter of introduction they had brought with them.

After the other party looked at it, he picked up the phone and spoke a language that Sheng Xiping and the others did not understand. Then he hung up the phone and arranged for someone to send Sheng Xiping and Chen Weimin to their accommodation.

The hotel designated by Sheng Xiping and others was on Changning and Loushanguan Road.

If you look at it from a modern perspective, it is just an ordinary little hotel that cannot be more ordinary.

But at the time, it looked pretty good. The hotel is next to the street. The trees on both sides of the road are already in full bloom and their shadows are dancing.

"Brother Xiping, what kind of tree is this? There are so many tree species in our forest farm, why haven't I seen this kind of tree?"

After the two moved in, Chen Weimin lay beside the window, looked at the tall trees outside, and asked curiously.

"It seems to be Wutong, right? I'm not sure." Sheng Xiping glanced outside and said casually.

"There is this kind of tree in my hometown. I remember when I was a child, I went back with my parents, and I pulled up the saplings planted by my uncle's house. It seemed like this."

It was a long time ago, and Sheng Xiping didn't remember it clearly.

He was still young at that time, maybe six or seven years old. Anyway, he was quite lucky. He had pulled out many saplings planted in the yard of his uncle's house.

The hometowns of the Sheng family and the Chen family are not far away, so they are considered fellow villagers.

Chen Weimin has difficulty going out due to physical reasons. He has not been back to his hometown since the accident, so he doesn't know what his hometown is like.

The hotel where the two of them lived had two floors. They lived on the second floor, a large room with bunk beds, which could accommodate more than forty people.

Most of the people living there were from the south. Sheng Xiping and Chen Weiguo couldn't understand what others said.

The hotel has a bathhouse, and travelers can take a bath for free, but there is no restaurant, so they have to go out to buy food, or take a lunch box to the hotel canteen to buy food.

The food eaten here is very different from that in the Northeast. There is no pasta, but indica rice. The texture is not as good as the rice in the Northeast and is quite rough.

This is all easy to say, they are here to do business, not to enjoy themselves.

But this is drinking water. The water in Shanghai does not taste good and has a strange smell.

No matter what kind of tea leaves are used, no matter how much tea leaves are put in, the strange smell cannot be suppressed.

Chen Weimin secretly complained to Sheng Xiping, "Shanghai is quite developed. Everywhere looks good, but this water is really incomparable to the water in Changbai Mountain. The water here is sweet."

"Well, the water over there is better than this." Sheng Xiping nodded.

It is true that the Changbai Mountain area has various high-quality mineral springs, rich underground water sources, and high water quality.

Otherwise, why would there be so many mineral water plants in the Changbai Mountain area in later generations?

It was a good season for Sheng Xiping and the others to come here. It wasn't that hot here in Shanghai, so it was quite comfortable to live there. After a night's rest, they went to the prosthetic factory the next day.

The prosthetic limb factory is located on Jiaozhou Road in Jing'an, which seems to be in the city center area, while Sheng Xiping and the others live in Changning, which is on the edge.

Sheng Xiping asked someone specifically, saying that if he wanted to take a bus, he would have to change several buses along the way.

You need to buy a Shanghai city traffic map and search according to the map. It is very troublesome, but cheap.

Sheng Xiping thought for a while and decided not to cause trouble. What if they were confused when wandering around such a big city?

So Sheng Xiping borrowed the landline phone in the hotel and called a motorized tricycle, the kind of "bengbengbeng" with a tin shed.

Sheng Xiping helped Chen Weimin get into the car. The tricycle turned east and west, twisting and turning, passing many places on the road. It felt like they had walked a long way before they finally arrived at the factory they were going to.

This was the only prosthetic limb factory in Shanghai at the time and the largest prosthetic limb factory in the country. Disabled people from all over the country basically come here to get prosthetic limbs installed.

The street in front of the factory is not wide, but the prosthetic limb factory covers a large area and has many workshops.

When you enter the factory gate, you can hear the rumbling of machines in the workshop, and you can also see people operating on the lathes in the open workshop, making it a busy scene.

There is a warehouse in it, which is quite large. It is full of finished thigh prostheses, neatly placed there, as if there are hundreds of legs.

If a timid person saw this, he would probably be frightened.

Sheng Xiping glanced at him coldly and became excited, while Chen Weimin turned pale.

Sheng Xiping led Chen Weimin to find a person in charge of the factory, pulled the person aside, and took out two red ginseng trees from the pocket they were carrying, as well as some Northeastern specialties such as fungus and pine nuts.

"Comrade, I leave it to you to install my brother's prosthetic limb.

You see, if possible, we can put our work in the front row so that we can get the prosthetic limbs as soon as possible. "

People from all over the country come to get prosthetic limbs installed. The prosthetic limb factory is very busy. It is common to wait in line for two or three months.

That's it for Chen Weimin. How can Sheng Xiping stay here for two or three months?

So they made preparations before they came, brought some things, established relationships with others, and tried to be accommodating.

Transportation is not convenient these days, and Northeastern specialties, especially ginseng, are very rare in the South. Unless you can buy them in pharmacies, they are still very expensive.

So when the other party saw what Sheng Xiping gave him, he smiled from ear to ear.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I will make good arrangements and seize the time to process this comrade."

With that said, the other party led Sheng Xiping and Chen Weimin to another room to measure the dimensions.

Because Chen Weimin's right leg is not even up to the thigh, he had to take off his pants and underpants to measure. Chen Weimin was a little embarrassed and couldn't let go.

"Hey, what do you care about when you come to this place? Aren't they all the same? Who would come to this place if they weren't disabled?"

A few masters were no longer surprised and persuaded Chen Weimin.

Just like that, after measuring the size, Sheng Xiping and Chen Weimin went to a nearby leather shoe store called Qunying under the guidance of others, and ordered two pairs of single leather shoes and a pair of cotton leather shoes. They also purchased ten pairs of nylon socks and two pairs of nylon socks. pants.
