Break out of the courtyard

After the boys finished talking about their romantic luck, the girls also came over and talked about their ambiguous experiences, but Zhang Heping just smiled and said nothing.

Yesterday afternoon and evening, when a group of villagers communicated in Dai language, Zhang Heping heard clearly that these villagers wanted to recruit sons-in-law and daughter-in-law from their group of students.

The person who made them have such unreasonable thoughts was Wang Baoxiong, the head of the propaganda section of the farm!

Putting aside the ultimate goal of the villagers, the process during this period was actually quite good, hehe...

As for whether these students can hold on, it depends on their own willpower.

Just when Zhang Heping was about to invite a group of classmates to have breakfast at the farm, most of the classmates said they had already eaten.

Immediately afterwards, Sister Yi Hong, who was on the bamboo building behind Zhang Heping, also invited Zhang Heping and Zhao Jianguo to have breakfast.

After Zhang Heping and others finished breakfast and distributed their snacks to the villagers, they lined up to the farm and asked about the farm's work arrangements for them.

"Do what you can to help the village first?" Zhang Heping looked at Wang Baoxiong, the head of the Propaganda Department with a smile on his face, puzzled.

"The farm director hasn't woken up yet, your files haven't been handed over to the farm, and we don't know what work to arrange for you." Wang Baoxiong, head of the Publicity Department, said with a hint of helplessness:

"But don't worry, the farm will take care of your food. Just come to the canteen to eat at meal time."

Zhang Heping smiled. Although he didn't know what was wrong with it, it was a good thing after all that he didn't have to go to work and had free food.

"That's okay!"

Zhang Heping seemed to have no choice but to agree. Just when Zhang Heping was about to turn around and take the people away, he suddenly stopped the Chief of the Publicity Department who breathed a sigh of relief, "Chief Wang, we don't have any tools at our disposal and need support from our farm, such as an axe." , saw, hammer and so on.”

"It's okay, I'll take you to the logistics department, there's everything there!"

Section Chief Wang didn't even ask Zhang Heping and the others why they borrowed a bunch of tools. He took Zhang Heping and the others to the logistics office, said hello, and didn't care what he applied for.

The next day, Section Chief Wang heard that Zhang Heping and others were digging holes to build public toilets near the north bank of the Cangjiang River after returning to Chunman Village. He thought they were helping the villagers build them, so he didn't take them seriously.

From the farm leader's point of view, as long as Zhang Heping and the others don't make trouble, it won't be a big deal.

Therefore, even if Zhang Heping and others applied for cement, 4 bags were approved for them. You must know that the cement supply at this time was still quite tight.

With 4 bags of cement, river sand from the Cangjiang River, smashed pebbles, and bamboo slices as reinforcements, a straight ditch with three pits and a biogas pool were barely made.

Finally, bamboo was used to build the outer wall of the public toilet, and thatch was used as the roof.

There are no gender distinctions in the toilets, just close the door of each pit for convenience.

After the public toilets were built, the female students were the happiest. The male students... lacked the stimulation of meeting girls outside for convenience, and some of them lacked interest.

Although the public toilets are public, villagers still like to go to the riverside to solve the problem; as soon as they take off their pants, lift up their skirts, and sit in the water, their stools will flow down the river.

The key is, not only does this eliminate the need for paper, it’s also very clean and hygienic!

After Zhang Heping had seen this kind of toilet scene several times, he didn't want to fish in the water for fear that a piece of shit would leak into the water.

After the public toilets were repaired, Zhang Heping and others built five rows of wooden bamboo buildings to the east of the public toilets.

When Zhang Heping and his group of students moved into Hsinchu Building one after another, the villagers who had previously hosted the students were not happy. They went to the farm leaders to ask for sons-in-law and daughters-in-law. The farm leaders were left helpless. They all blamed Wang Baoxiong, the head of the Publicity Department, for his bad idea. .

However, after Zhang Heping and others later built a row of wooden bamboo buildings to the west of the public toilets, separated small courtyards with bamboo fences, and gave them to the villagers of Chunman Village for free, there was no dissatisfaction.

Anyway, these students are still in the village and still have a chance!

Although the roof of the bamboo building built by Zhang Heping and others is still thatched, the overall structure is made of wood. You can buy tiles and lay them on the roof. The key is that tiles are not easy to buy.

In addition, the floors and walls of the bamboo house are made of wooden boards, unlike the villagers' bamboo floors and thin bamboo strip walls that cannot withstand the tossing.

As for doing what they can to help the village, Zhang Heping and the others did... paying the villagers to help them get wood, bamboo, and thatch, which can be regarded as helping the villagers generate income!

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Heping and the others actually received a salary of 26 yuan per month and a frontier subsidy of 2 yuan, for a total of 28 yuan!

Tickets for rice, noodles, grains and oils were directly allocated to the main canteen.

For other tickets, I don’t know if anyone else on the farm has them, but they don’t have them anyway.

Time passed by more than two months, and for the first time, Zhang Heping took his classmates to the farm to help harvest rice!

At the same time, I didn’t forget to pose for photos!

……

On Monday morning, May 1968, 5, Class 20, Grade 2, New Capital Eleven Middle School became completely famous.

The capital newspaper that day used the first two pages to report on their class’s diary entries and photos.

The manuscripts and photos are arranged in chronological order. Not all of them are published, but only a small part of them are selected.

The first line of the homepage is bold and black: The world is vast and there is much to be accomplished!

Then came a photo that took up half the page!

This is a picture of the rising sun over mountains and rivers taken by Zhang Heping on the sixth truck.

The highlight of the photo is that the sun in the middle has just risen between the two mountains, and its radiant light shines on the five trucks on the winding mountain road on the left, as well as the faces of the excited and waving students on board.

It's a pity that the newspaper failed to print the depth of time of the original photo.

This photo is divided into two sections.

The lower left panel is a scene of students from Class 2 of Senior High School singing on the train as they set off, with the lyrics of "I Love You, China" attached.

The last lyrics are also shown in bold:

I want to dedicate my beautiful youth to you, my mother, my motherland!

The lower right panel shows a group of students arriving at Yundu Railway Station and being welcomed. The content of the manuscript is not Zhang Heping’s original version. It has been changed a lot and is no longer what Zhang Heping wanted to express.

The second page is divided into two sections at the top and a large photo at the bottom.

The photo on the upper left shows students from Class 2, Grade , performing for a group of Dai villagers in front of a dilapidated thatched hut. The manuscript below only excerpts a passage from Zhang Heping, explaining that they are singing "Sailing the Sea Depends on the Helmsman".

The photo on the upper right shows students from Class 2, Grade , building a Hsinchu Building on the right, and a long row of completed Hsinchu Buildings on the left with people entering and leaving the building. The content of the manuscript below is still not the original content written by Zhang Heping.

The large group photo occupying most of the page below shows 45 students including Liu Yuan and Zhao Jianguo.

In the photo, in front of each squatting student in the first row, there are a lot of bananas, pineapples, mangos, papayas and other fruits. The students in the three rows behind are holding fruits in their hands and eating fruits in their mouths, all with smiles. Full face.

Under the group photo, there is also a row of bold and large black letters:

The most beautiful youth is dedicated to the most beautiful frontier, Banna welcomes you!

……

Nanluoguxiang Sub-district Office.

Director Wang took the day's newspaper and found Ma Xiuzhen, who was chatting with some red-sleeved ladies. He asked doubtfully: "Xiuzhen, look at it, why didn't I see your son in this group photo?"

As soon as these words came out, several clerks gathered around to watch the excitement.

"This is Heping's classmate! I looked at the class, Class 2, Grade , New Capital Eleven Middle School, that's right!" Director Wang frowned.

"It's his classmate!" Ma Xiuzhen looked at a group of familiar faces, but couldn't find Zhang Heping.

Just when Ma Xiuzhen was a little suspicious and worried about whether something had happened to her son Zhang Heping, Xiao Lin, the clerk who was responsible for handing out the matchboxes, said, "Is Zhang Heping taking pictures?"

Director Wang suddenly smiled and said: "Hi! I asked where that brat was, but it turns out he took this photo!"

Hearing this, Ma Xiuzhen couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, "This brat has been away from home for so long, and he didn't even send a photo back. He didn't even appear in the newspaper."

"Sister Xiuzhen, Heping has sent you so many dried fruits, and you're still not satisfied!"

"Look at the photo on the top right of the newspaper. The man on the roof doesn't look like Zhang Heping from the back?"

……

Capital Newspaper.

"Editor-in-Chief, something happened! The leader called us and asked us to read Yundu Newspaper and learn from them!"

"what's the situation?"

"It was the article submitted by Class 2, Grade , and Yundu Daily published the entire article intact, and the newspaper was even sent to the leaders."

"Impossible! There are 72 photos in that manuscript. How can it be possible to publish them all!"

"They temporarily added 3 newspapers, using 4 sheets with 16 pages for publication. Should we also use 4 sheets for publication tonight?"

"You do the layout first, and I'll ask the leader for instructions."

……

State-owned Red Flag Stadium.

"What? Those students were in the newspaper?" The field director was stunned and took the Yundu newspaper from four days ago.

"Director, the leader asked us, why is there nothing related to our farm in the newspaper? Why do those students still claim to be students from Class 2, Grade , New Capital Eleven Middle School? Is it because we didn't pay them wages?"

"Director, what a happy event! What a great event!" Wang Baoxiong, the head of the Publicity Section, entered the office with Gu Hai, the head of the Personnel Section who looked constipated, and said excitedly: "Jingcheng Farm sent someone with a transfer order to transfer those 46 students. Walk!"

"No! We can't let them go!"

"Huh? But they have already picked me up in the car!"

……

"I didn't expect you to be so popular in the village!" On the driving truck, a middle-aged woman looked at the crying villagers at the entrance of the village and smiled at Liu Yuan beside her:

"When I came here, I thought the biggest resistance would be the farm leaders, but I didn't expect that the people who were least willing to let you go were the local fellow villagers."

"Aunt Yunrong, you don't know!" Liu Yuan pointed in the direction of the state-owned Red Flag Stadium and said angrily:

"In order to prevent us from living on the farm, they lied to the villagers and said that as long as the villagers were willing to take in us children without mothers and fathers, they could recruit us as sons-in-law and daughters-in-law. As a result, the villagers were extremely enthusiastic about us."

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Then do any of you want to be your son-in-law or daughter-in-law?"
