Break out of the courtyard

Zhang Heping has been unable to cheer up since he returned to the capital on the 25th. He looks at photos of his wife and children all day long, and his proficiency in missing skills is rising!

Missing: Grandmaster (6%).

The advantage of this skill is that it can recall the past more clearly; the disadvantage is that it often makes him think of the past and fall into memories.

"Xiaosan, stop looking, your classmates are here, go out with them for some exercise!" Lao Zhang greeted his eldest grandson Zhang Yi at the door, holding him in his arms.

Zhang Heping then reluctantly put the group photo back into the closet and hid it in the wooden box that contained Dongfanghong's group photo.

"Peace, there's a fight!"

Zhao Jianguo rushed in excitedly, "There's a fight on Jewel Island in the north. I signed up to join the army! Are you going?"

"Jewelry Island?" Zhang Heping was stunned for a moment, his memory flashed, and he quickly recalled many major events this year...

"No!" Zhang Heping thought of the lack of freedom in the army, shook his head and refused: "You can't go to the front line, should I follow you as a logistics officer?"

"Why can't I go to the front line?" Zhao Laoliu asked unconvinced.

"Your three brothers and two sisters are all in the army, and you have also joined the army. Your old Zhao family does not leave anyone to carry on the family line!" Zhang Heping went to plug in the radio and search for news channels.

"My eldest brother has a child! My third brother is getting married this year..."

"Your sister-in-law has given birth to three daughters, but not a son, right! Third brother You has been a soldier for seven years. Should he go to the front line first? Or get married and enter the bridal chamber first?" Zhang Heping said without looking back:

"Just wait and see, I will definitely keep you in the south as a soldier. Maybe you will also be a cook soldier, which is just right for your fat body."

"Organizational committee member..." Another classmate came.

On March 3, the Lantern Festival, old classmates who had passed the preliminary review and successfully signed up to join the army spontaneously gathered in Zhang Heping's yard.

Seeing the excitement of these students, Zhang Heping did not dampen their enthusiasm. Leaving Banna Prefecture as a soldier was originally a planned way out.

On March 3, the first day of college and middle school, Zhang Heping and a group of classmates reunited to prepare to go to the school to promote the school, but 10 classmates, including Zhao Jianguo, Chu Chuan, Ye Juan, and Huang Wenli, did not come.

"Zhang Heping, the new educated youth are causing trouble in Banna. Do we still want to go to the school to promote it?" Liu Yuan pushed her bicycle and waited for Zhang Heping's arrangements.

"Go! Why don't you go?" Zhang Heping stood at the door of No. 7 Courtyard and said to He Zijiang and his unlucky classmates: "Instead of letting them cause trouble in the capital, it is better to trick them into suffering in the big ravine."

"Everyone, dawn is right in front of us!" Zhang Heping looked at the listless classmates and said loudly:

"Suppress the grievances and dissatisfaction in your hearts, and raise your thinking to the national level, to the world. When the enemy bullies you at your doorstep, will your family continue to fight among themselves?"

"Okay, let's complete the publicity task as soon as possible. These pineapples are ripe. If you don't eat them, they will spoil."

Zhang Heping and the others entered the school again to promote Banna, and it still went smoothly.

The batch of educated youth who passed by in February did not report back the true situation in Banna!

Either they went crazy or the post office was closed...

Zhang Heping did not detach himself to publicize this time, fearing that his group of "big liars" would be beaten up.

Fortunately, at the end of March, when the director of the knife field called Zhang Heping and the others, they were not surrounded.

……

April 1969, 4, Tuesday, light rain.

I put on a big red flower, followed my classmates who also wore big red flowers, and followed the group of educated youth seniors from the No. 11 School, to the Capital Railway Station. Under everyone's welcome, I boarded the educated youth train.

On the train, the tallest and most handsome senior educated youth played the accordion and led everyone in singing songs. Some people even took photos. As expected, just like what was said in the newspaper, the carriage was full of youth and everyone was high-spirited!

After singing for a while, the senior educated youth actually gave us pokers, chess, and Go to help us kill the boring time during the journey.

Saturday, May 4, sunny.

In the past few days, in order not to expose my habit of keeping a diary, I did not fill in the diary for the 1st until today.

This five-day train journey felt so novel. It was my first time out of a province and I met educated youth from other provinces. I felt that their dialects were strange.

During this period, we began to learn quotations again.

Before we knew it, we arrived at Yundu Railway Station and were warmly welcomed by local students.

However, when I got on the truck, I lost track of the group of senior educated youths; some classmates said that they had returned to Jingcheng Farm early.

On April 4th, we looked at the deserted mountains and cried...

On April 4, when I arrived in Jingcheng, I saw the tall educated youth playing the accordion again. But, he seemed very unhappy.

On April 4, we got on another truck and heard that we were assigned to Dawn Farm.

On April 4, when we got off the bus at the gate of Liming Farm, we almost cried again. The two-day and two-night drive was really... I can't describe the complicated emotions in my heart with words.

Then, without even entering the farm gate, we were led away by the directors of each branch.

Let's go and go...

After passing through the aircraft grass as tall as a person, through the mysterious virgin forest, through the barren mountains covered with thorns, we finally arrived at our branch when it got dark.

Then, I was dumbfounded!

They are all thatched houses...

The new educated youth in Banna Prefecture are not happy...

The locals are not happy because the new educated youth are causing trouble...

Zhang Heping was very unhappy when the "report on the development of collective breeding in Jingcheng Farm" was rejected by Jingcheng's new leader!

However, thinking about what happened to the leaders who agreed to this report before... chilling!

Forget it if the collective breeding report fails, Zhang Heping will just start hunting and start a small business at worst.

What makes Zhang Heping very dissatisfied is that the educated youth assigned to Jingcheng Farm are all junior high school graduates aged 15 or 16, not a single high school student!

The leader actually said that the conditions at Jingcheng Farm were good and the young educated youth needed more care!

After Zhang Heping read the files of these young educated youths, he gritted his teeth and endured it!

There are more than a dozen Yundu related accounts stuffed inside...

However, Zhang Heping is not someone who likes to suffer losses.

On April 4, the night before the training on reclamation skills and wilderness survival skills for new educated youths was about to end, Zhang Heping called the 13 Yundu-related households to the main office.

"I don't like to talk in circles!" Zhang Heping looked at the new educated youths standing in three rows, "Our farm needs 3 tons of unplanned coal this year, and 500 three-turn and one-ring tickets each!"

Zhang Heping sat behind his desk and raised his chin towards the black landline phone on the table. "Whoever is confident about getting these supplies can call. I will recommend your work to the director based on how much supplies you get. .”

"It doesn't matter if you can't get it. The training will end tomorrow and go to the branch farm to wait for work assignments." This sentence was a thinly veiled threat.

"Secretary-General Zhang!" A boy raised his hand and asked, "I would like to ask, what does our farm need all this coal for? Aren't we producing rubber?"

"This batch of coal will be used to burn cement, bricks and tiles, and then be used to build the foundations of staff dormitories in 11 branch farms and 120 branch fields."

Currently, the cement factory under Jingcheng Farm consumes 1 kilograms of coal for every ton of cement produced.

In other words, 1 ton of coal corresponds to 4 tons of cement output, and 500 tons of coal corresponds to 2000 tons of cement output.
