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

Sheng Xiping and his party had a lot of fun in the capital and finished their work before setting off to go back.

On August 18, the family of six finally returned to Songjianghe, and Zhou Qinglan returned to school the next day.

Zhou Qinglan has negotiated with the school that she will not teach classes this year and will only be a subject teacher.

In this case, as long as there are no late classes, you can go home from get off work in the afternoon.

Sheng Xinhua is in junior high school. These three years are crucial. Zhou Qinglan wants to spend more time with her child.

Zhou Qinglan's work ability was outstanding. The school initially disagreed, but then Sheng Xiping went to the principal and agreed to donate a batch of teaching equipment to the school, and the principal nodded.

This year, August 21st is a Sunday, so school officially starts on August 22nd, and students return to school on the morning of the 21st.

Starting from this year, all forestry middle schools have been withdrawn and merged, and all students will go to No. 1 Middle School.

Therefore, there are many freshmen this year, with a total of fourteen classes and six to seven hundred people.

Sheng Xinhua got good grades and was assigned to a class. The head teacher knew Zhou Qinglan and took good care of Sheng Xinhua.

On the first day back to school, students are divided into classes, assigned tables and chairs, cleaned, and then arranged to sit and distribute books. Students get to know each other and then elect a monitor.

Since Sheng Xinhua's home is close, he just took people back and forth to get tools for cleaning and other things. In addition, many students in the class came from primary school and all knew Sheng Xinhua.

With the support of these people, Sheng Xinhua was elected squad leader.

Junior high school is different from primary school. Primary school teachers are generally happy to choose girls as monitors. They are serious and responsible in doing things and don't need to worry.

In junior high school, boys are usually chosen as monitors because they have authority and can control these naughty brats.

Compared with Sheng Xinhua, it is much easier for those who are in primary school to go back to school.

Go to school to hand in your holiday homework, clean up, hand out books, and then go home.

"Dad, help us wrap the book covers and staple the books."

Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi were the first to go home. As soon as they walked in and saw Sheng Xiping at home, they started assigning tasks to their father.

There are no plastic book covers these days, and children don’t know how to take good care of books, so parents usually use kraft paper, calendar paper, or newspapers to protect their schoolbags with a book cover.

Newspaper is thin, not wear-resistant, and breaks easily. Wall calendars are a very sought-after item in this day and age and cannot be easily obtained.

Therefore, most people use kraft paper to wrap book covers.

The Sheng family has several wall calendars, which are benefits provided by the company.

Every year when winter comes, Sheng Xiping has people order a batch of wall calendars at the printing factory for the company employees.

The wall calendars of this era are different from the ones in later generations that were crowded together for twelve months of the year. Now they have one page for each month. If you add the cover, it will be thirteen pieces of paper.

The calendar paper is very thick and has a smooth surface. It is best to turn it over and wrap it around the book.

Sheng Xiping didn't care about that. He took out a calendar from the cabinet, cut it to size, and wrapped the book cover for his two girls.

"Wow, dad is so awesome. The book cover is so straight and has lace on it. It's much prettier than my brother's bag."

It was rare for Sheng Xiping to wrap a book cover for his children, so he had to show it well by folding it repeatedly in the lower right corner of the book to make it look better when wrapped.

The two girls have little experience. Where have they seen such a book cover? He immediately slapped his father with a rainbow fart, which coaxed Sheng Xiping into grinning happily.

After wrapping the book covers for the two girls, they then stapled the book.

Tian Zi Ge, Pinyin Tian Zi Ge, two notebooks are stacked together, with a black notebook folder on the outside.

Then take an awl and go through the hole on the top of the binder, pierce the book through, then thread the black shoelaces or woolen yarn and tie it firmly, and the book is nailed.

Sheng Xiping wrapped the books for the two girls, stapled them together, and wrote the children's names on the books and notebooks. Only then was he ready for the start of school.

Just at this time, Sheng Xinyu also came home. When he saw that his sister's book covers were wrapped, he also shouted to have them wrapped.

"Dad, did you use calendar paper to wrap the book covers for them? Then give me two pieces of calendar paper, too. I also want to wrap the book covers."

"Fan me from afar, what good can you do with that brat? Do you still want to use calendar paper?

Your mother kept those calendar papers to make door curtains. You caused trouble. It would be strange if she didn't beat you up when you got home.

There is kraft paper in the Westinghouse desk, so you can just use kraft paper. "Sheng Xiping snorted.

It seems that since the beginning of spring this year, I don’t know why there has been a trend of making door curtains.

This kind of door curtain is not the kind that is hung on the door to block the wind in winter, but is hung on the door in summer, similar to a bead curtain.

Some people use paper clips to make this thing, and some people use wire to make it.

Wrap the wire evenly around two foreign nails at a fixed distance to form a paperclip-like shape. Then cut the wire from one side and pinch it firmly with pliers.

Finally, take them off the foreign nails and put them on one by one, forming a long string.

Cut the calendar paper into long, thin triangles and wrap them around paper clips or special wire.

When wrapping, place the patterned side facing out and the white side facing in. Apply some white latex to stick it firmly, making it look like a date core.

Then just wrap them one by one, one by one, until you have enough for a door. Then, apply a layer of white latex on the outside of the calendar paper, and then nail it to the door frame after it dries.

In the summer, this kind of door curtain is used. When the door curtain shakes when going back and forth into the house, flies cannot follow people and fly into the house.

Sheng Xiping remembered that when he was a child, he saw someone stringing straw beads together and using them as door curtains.

Most of those beads are gray with some patterns on them, and they are seeds grown on grass.

About the size of a pea, with a slippery and shiny surface.

Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei were so beautiful when they were young that they asked for some bracelets.

Later, those kinds of grass beads became less noticeable, and now curtains made of calendar paper are popular.

In a few years, we will start to develop plastic bead strings.

During the spring, Zhou Qinglan and Aunt Li spent a lot of time lighting lamps and boiling oil to make the curtain for the door in the east room.

I originally thought that if I had nothing to do during the summer vacation, I would build two more doors at home, but it turned out that they all went out to play during the summer vacation.

All the calendar papers at home were reserved for door curtains, which meant that Sheng Xiping loved his daughter, so he borrowed two of them for use.

As for Sheng Xinyu, I have some kraft paper at home, so I’ll use that.

When Sheng Xinyu heard his father's words, he felt heartbroken and rolled his eyes secretly.

"Sure enough, what they say is right. Daughters are treasures, and sons are straw. Come on, I won't fight with them. I'll use kraft paper."

The young man mumbled and went to the Westinghouse desk to look for brown paper.

Now that Sheng Xinyu is old, he can cut paper, wrap book covers, and staple notebooks by himself without the help of his father. This set of tasks is quite understandable.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, Sheng Xinhua also came back, holding a thick stack of books.

People who are in junior high school don't really care about those things. They simply don't bother to organize the book covers and folders. They just write their names and then put them in their schoolbags.
