Riding a donkey back to 60s

The new year is over, and the earth is still covered by whiteness.It just finished snowing that day, and Xia Ye got up according to his biological clock, and when he pushed the door, heh!The door of the house was frozen again, Xia Ye picked up the ax that he brought back to the house last night, and hacked the ice.After cleaning up, I hurriedly put on my clothes, shoes and hats, and took a big bamboo broom with my hands to clean up the snow in the yard.In fact, after the new year, the sky is getting hotter day by day, but the heat is not obvious. It will take at least April or even May to start melting.So only the icicles on the eaves tell people that the weather is gradually getting hotter. As long as Xiaye comes back from the school for a week, the icicles will be cleaned up, otherwise they will be dripped by water every time at noon, and the cotton-padded clothes will be wet. will be irritable.Some children in the village broke off and licked them while the adults were not paying attention. Fortunately, there was not so much pollution at this time.

In the past few days, the village has begun to discuss the news that the Corps has come down. It is said that a small train will be built to pass from the side of the village and cross the mountain to the other side of the mountain. Mobilize educated youth to settle there.

And the existing [-]th to [-]th brigades will combine the farms. The team members in the village are still villagers, but some educated youths will be transferred from the south to serve as garrison companies or as farm workers.

Xia Ye probably knew that this was the prelude to the great cooperation between soldiers and companies to reclaim the Great Northern Wilderness.

Not long after, on the way back to the village from school, you will see the words "hard work, courage to pioneer, care for the overall situation, and selfless dedication" painted everywhere in the county, town, and even on the outer walls of houses in the village.And the railway station in the county is overloaded every day, and a series of green leather trains carry people from the south to take root and contribute here.

According to the leaders of the brigade, the areas allocated for reclamation are generally full of wild beasts, dense swamps, and weeds as tall as a person.The most frightening thing is that there is no place to live!All the cadres in the village rushed to the commune to help arrange the logistics work of the Corps, and each county and city needed to solve the food in the early stage.

After the whole county welcomed the soldiers and the educated youths to the countryside, the high school was suspended for a week, and they participated in the joint wasteland reclamation activities of workers, peasants, students and soldiers. Xia Ye thought that it was really not a place that ordinary people could persist in, and basically went to , there is no human habitation in a radius of a hundred miles,

The land reclamation points are allocated first.All the land reclamation teams are divided into two square teams to work, and most of them are land reclamation while building work stations, in order to ensure that people can have a place to live when they start planting in spring.The captains of the two brigades decided to transfer one-third of the team to build a work station. The main task of building the station was to build a cellar.Most of the young men selected are students from the south, or they moved here with the green leather car in order to have a good meal because they could not eat locally. Never seen it!Therefore, the captain of the Binglian Company asked the local old man to give him construction guidance, and after the newly stationed workers and students of the Bingtuan settled down, he immediately started the earthwork.

At this time, the ground was still covered with ice and snow, and the ground had been frozen to a depth of more than three feet. The laborers could only use picks to dig through the frozen soil layer before digging.In order to prevent the dug-up soil layer from freezing again when the temperature is low at night, a layer of wheat straw is covered with thatch before work ends every day, and people are sent to light the wheat straw to roast the soil in the morning.After several days of hard work, the foundation of the cellar was dug, and then we started to go up the mountain to cut wood, and went down to the meadow to cut thatch grass. All the work was carried out on the snow.

After a day of rolling and crawling in the snow, when it was time to eat at noon, because there were no people, I could only take out the nest or pancakes distributed in the morning from my chest. It's easy to snap your teeth, make those delicate girls in the south, and make the tears blurred, but there is no sympathy here, so I can only slowly adapt to it.

Xia Ye misses Uncle Da Shan very much at this time. Every day, he would hold an iron pot of burning knives on his chest, feel the cold wind freezing through his clothes, and sipping a sip would warm him up for a long time, his blood would boil, and he would start working again. It's not that uncomfortable anymore.

Among the laborers are the students from the county and the town, whose whole body gets wet every day.Every day at the end of work, Li Sen would pull a cart to take the people from the village home to enjoy the fire, but those students who came from the south were miserable. Both men and women lived in tents, and the thin layer of cloth was not too windproof. In a few days, my hands and feet were swollen, my face was swollen, I had a cold, and I could hear sobbing from time to time every day, and I really received education from the poor and lower-middle peasants.When Xia Ye and the others left after working for a week, the students in the Corps all looked at them eagerly, wanting to go back to school too!

Winter goes to spring, spring comes to summer solstice, summer solstice to autumn, and two years have passed in a blink of an eye. A small railway station was built more than three miles away from the village. It was specially used for small trains to go up the mountain. There is also an additional station in Changshantun, which makes it easier for villagers to go into the mountains to collect mountain goods, and they can go deeper.

Xia Ye and Li Lichun are going to take the college entrance examination in a few days.This year, the school started ideological education work for high school students. It is necessary to "one red heart, multiple preparations", "educated youths can make great achievements in the countryside", and advanced figures like Dong Moumou must learn from them, blowing the sound of intellectual youths going up the mountain. Prelude to the Countryside.

Since 64, high school graduates have to create files. Before the college entrance examination, the class teacher is busy checking the family situation of the students, writing appraisals, and I heard that each person has a conclusion on the materials, and then marks "Is this person suitable for admission to the university?" ".If someone is called by the head teacher to talk and comes back crying, then it must be clear that there are hidden historical problems in the family.

Xia Ye and Li Lichun's families are well-rooted, but looking at all kinds of signs at this time, Xia Ye knew clearly in his heart that he didn't want to enter the university at this time, it would not be peaceful there, the most important thing was that he didn't want to be bored For my own conscience, in order to protect myself, I do what I don't want to do, and I don't want to be independent and hurt myself.And since I'm still young, I can wait until the college entrance examination resumes.So when the head teacher asked to fill in the registration form, Xia Ye directly chose to give up. Although the head teacher persuaded him many times, Xia Ye was determined to work and support the family.The class teacher can only let him go.

After giving up the college entrance examination, Xia Ye single-mindedly considered what to do after getting her high school diploma.Xia Ye thought about it for a few days, then went to buy two bottles of canned food and two bottles of Baigan, and went to Director Ke Liu of the county's mining area.Because the last time I came here, I got the news that the county mining area was recruiting workers, Xia Ye wanted to ask Director Liu to help as an introducer.At this time, entering the mine is not just as simple as taking an exam. You also need a person from the mining area to provide a background guarantee, a letter of recommendation, and joint and several liability if there is a problem.

Xia Ye waited until Director Liu got off work before going to the compound. Because Xia Ye came here frequently in the past two years, everyone in the courtyard knew that Xia Ye was a distant relative of Director Liu, and some even greeted him from afar. : "Xia Ye is here? Waiting for Director Liu? Come and sit at home!"

Xia Ye responded with a smile one by one, these people are very cute, especially Liu Datou, everyone calls him that because of his big head, he is the section chief of the train depot who is in charge of shipping, and the manager who buys most of the iron sheets needed by the mine his hand.Sometimes when Liu Datou meets Xia Ye, he will catch Xia Ye to play chess with him. It is obviously a stinky chess cage, and he never gets tired of losing, so he enters the courtyard without seeing it.

Seeing Xia Ye hovering at the gate of the yard, he started to pull him to play chess together, but Xia Ye was terrified. If he went and played chess with him ten times or eight times, don't think about letting this guy go.

"Don't, don't, don't! Uncle Liu, please forgive me! I came here this time to find something for my uncle!" Xia Ye looked embarrassed.

Liu Datou looked at what Xia Ye was holding, it seemed that he was asking for something!

"What's the matter? It's the same with your Uncle Liu!" Liu Datou said disapprovingly.

Liu Datou felt that he was no worse than Director Liu, and besides, Xia Ye never disliked himself as a stinky chess basket!

Xia Ye's eyes lit up when he heard that, yes!It doesn't matter who you are looking for!In case other members of the family (if Li Lichun fails the exam) have the opportunity to recruit a job, they have to ask for another job, and it is good to be prepared.

Xia Ye nodded and said, "Then I will talk to Uncle Liu!"

When Liu Datou heard this, he nodded quickly and led Xia Ye into the house.Xia Ye directly divided the things in his hand into two halves, took part and handed it to Liu Datou's daughter-in-law: "Auntie, I just bought it at the supply and marketing agency. The wine is for my uncle, and the canned food is for you and my younger brother!" Liu Datou There is a 7-year-old son named Liu Jie.

Liu Datou's daughter-in-law, Ding Jie, has been familiar with Xia Ye for the past two years. It's not the first time she took something Xia Ye brought, and she was not polite: "Then you sit with your Uncle Liu, and I will cook two dishes. In the evening Just eat at my house!" Said briskly and went to the kitchen.

Xia Ye and Liu Datou sat down by the chessboard. Liu Datou used the trick that Xia Ye beat him last time when he came up. What are you thinking about serial guns? Uncle Liu, I heard that the mine is recruiting workers!? I want to work in the mine!"

Liu Datou's hand that was about to let go paused, "You're not going to take the university entrance exam?" Liu Datou yelled loudly.

Xia Ye shook her head: "University is too far away! The nearest car ride takes a day and a half, and I don't feel at ease being alone at home, I want to go to work early!"

Knowing the situation of Xia Ye's family, Liu Datou nodded, it's good to be able to go to work, the welfare of the mine is good!Arranging urban household registration for high school students, allocating housing, and bringing the old lady here is also a blessing.Moreover, if you come in with a high school degree, you will be a cadre. The more you think about it, the more you feel that Xia Ye's choice is not bad.

Liu Datou nodded and said, "Are you here to find a recommender?"

Xia Ye nodded: "I know I need a recommender, so I want to ask Uncle Liu to recommend it!"

Liu Datou nodded: "Okay, you don't need to look for him anymore, I recommend you directly, you just play these games with me!"

Xia Ye's black line, this request is also extremely rare, it is a kind of torture for him, you have to calculate not to let the other party lose too early, or it is purely to save face, and you can't pretend to let him win, or you don't Happy.In short, it was time to eat after all the hard work. Under Ding Jie's urging, Xia Ye finally got rid of it, and heaved a sigh of relief.At the dinner table, Ding Jie was very happy to hear that Xia Ye was coming to work in the mine. This child is kind-hearted, close to her family, and looks beautiful. If she didn't know that she was engaged, she really wanted this child to marry him. Her niece.

"That's a good thing, come to my house before the house is divided, or you can live in my house directly. A bunch of young men live in a single dormitory, but it's better not to have a home!" Ding Jie said after helping Xia Ye think.

"Auntie, I still have to take the exam! Now I just want Uncle Liu to recommend it. If it succeeds, I will inevitably bother you!" Xia Ye replied.

"Where is the trouble? My Jiezi is looking forward to your coming, saying that you will have fun! You don't know the little book you gave him last time, but it made the school children greedy! Reading comic book, he got a lot of delicious food, come back to show off to me and his father!"

"Haha! Really? I just want to have a smart brother! Aunt Liu, Jiezi is a smart kid, he can learn everything quickly!" Xia Ye said in agreement.

When Ding Jie heard this, she couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear. She hated people praising her baby the most.He quickly put the two pieces of meat that Liu Datou wanted to pick up into Xia Ye's bowl: "Eat it quickly! Your Uncle Liu eats meat dishes every day at the mine, you should eat more!"

Xia Ye nodded, although she doesn't like fatty meat slices very much, but this is a special feature at this time, it means that people like you, so they will give you big fat meat, eating it with a numb scalp, it's so boring!

Liu Datou curled his lips, this old lady!It's rare for a boy with a fair face, whether it's old or young, he subconsciously touched his own face thinking about it, but Xia Ye is fair and good-looking, and he's tall, he's almost 180 in just two years.

Liu Datou nodded at the table, and said to Ding Jie: "Okay, it's all from my family, why are you polite! Xia Ye, you pick it up yourself, and it's not the first time you come to eat at home!"

Xia Ye nodded and looked at Liu Datou with a smile.Although this big head is rough, he is famous for loving his daughter-in-law in the compound. Because Liu Jie was born with difficult labor, why did Liu Datou not let Ding Jie have a baby? Not a large litter of children really formed a stark contrast, guessing that the aunt's serving of vegetables made this rough guy jealous again.

After dinner, Ding Juan brewed some golden monkey green tea, which is not the best, but it is not bad in most years when drinking wild tea, or drinking white tea, Xia Ye took a sip of the tea bowl, just a few A big piece of fat meat is greasy and ruthless.

Liu Datou looked at Xia Ye and said, "Which department do you want to go to? Come to our car department, or your uncle's procurement department?"

Xia Ye rubbed his head and smiled innocently: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, Uncle Liu, the farthest place I've grown up since I was a child is the county. I want to be able to walk around and gain knowledge. Listen to my uncle talking about his surroundings. story, I want to go to his procurement department!"

Liu Datou patted his head, and said: "Then I'll recommend it, so you can go to him, and save those gossiping people saying that your uncle uses the back door!"

Xia Ye thought about it, and quickly flattered Liu Datou: "But it's your fault, Uncle Liu. I thought it would be easier to find my uncle directly, but if I did, it would really embarrass him !"

Liu Datou nodded, then stood up, found a pen and paper to write a recommendation letter, it was also very simple, that is, XX recommended XX to take the exam, ensured that he was firm in thinking, had good roots, recommended people, etc., finished writing in a few minutes, and handed over For summer night.

Xia Ye hurriedly and carefully put it in her schoolbag, but actually changed hands and put it into the space!Liu Datou looked at Zhile, this kid is busy with work.

Liu Datou said with a grin: "It's okay, I'm writing you a copy if you lose it, as many as you want!" After speaking, he laughed.

Xia Ye smiled: "That can't be done, this is Uncle Liu's calligraphy, it must be treasured carefully!" The two of them didn't mention it again.
