Chapter 20 Voluntary Labor

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The lunch break after lunch lasts until about 14:00. Working and living at sunrise and rest at sundown does not require a long time to catch up on sleep at noon. Taking a break of just a few dozen minutes will make your mental state better in the afternoon than without a lunch break.

.

The differences between people cannot be generalized. But for a group of people with very different work and rest schedules, their biological clocks will not be very different.

When Wang Chengzhu woke up, the people in the same room had not yet woken up. After he finished five rounds of three-minute plank support, he noticed that someone else was turning over, so he pretended to turn over and sat up. He picked up the coat lying next to him.

Put on your trousers, kneel down on the kang bed, and gently fold the thin quilt.

After folding out the square tofu quilt, he moved to a position close to the wall. He gently shook the pillow and placed it on the quilt, turned around and got out of bed and walked towards the wooden door that was ajar.

He opened the loose leaf of the wooden door, leaving a gap for him to go out. Wang Chengzhu stepped out and closed the door. After going out, he turned around and found that two or three soldiers had come out to move around in the yard, and one who did the same thing as him was pulling

Door-to-door.

When the number of people participating in the activity is small, there is no need to arrange for simple equipment to be used in turn. Wang Chengzhu walked to an open space and jogged in place for five minutes to warm up, and then went to the parallel bars to press his legs and stretch. He felt that his body was getting warm, and he stepped on the parallel bars.

I practiced arm flexion and extension.

When Wang Chengzhu finished one hundred dips and extensions on the parallel bars, many onlookers were already standing in the yard. When he left the parallel bars and walked to a bench to rest, the doctor on duty who had reviewed him in the morning came to

In front of Wang Chengzhu.

The doctor asked Wang Chengzhu: "Comrade, your wound is on your chest. How do you do such a strong stretching exercise? If you are not careful, the wound may rupture."

Wang Chengzhu knew that his behavior had achieved his goal, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, doctor, I just did a warm-up exercise and did a hundred parallel bar arm extensions in one breath. Next time, I must divide it into several groups, with intervals.

Please take a rest."

The doctor saw that Wang Chengzhu had a good attitude in admitting his mistake, so he asked the latter to follow him to the duty room to check the effect of continuous exercise on the scar on the chest.

Wang Chengzhu walked into Cave No. 1, sat on the morning examination bed, unbuttoned his clothes and lifted up his front. The doctor cleaned his hands on the side, walked to the bedside with a piece of cotton gauze soaked in salt water, and wiped Wang Chengzhu's wound.

On the surface. Looking at the pink and white scar on Wang Chengzhu's chest, a small part of the purple-black blood scab on the right side collapsed, revealing the red wrinkled tender skin under the blood scab.

The doctor on duty frowned. He thought that the strenuous exercise of the casualty had rubbed away the blood scab protecting the wound. Then he relaxed his brows because he saw that the fresh dermis layer under the blood scab was recovering normally and that the skin connecting the blood scab was not broken.

Skin oozing blood.

Look at the skin-to-skin sutures incised by the scalpel near the wound. The purple bloody seam in the morning was so small that it was invisible. After the sutures were removed, a white caterpillar-like scar bulged at the incision. A few of them were cut but not completely removed.

The threads were pushed out bit by bit as Wang Chengzhu breathed. This must be an illusion. It takes a month or even longer for normal sutures to squeeze out the muscles and skin.

Seeing that the recovery results were so good, the doctor told Wang Chengzhu about his examination status. He reminded the latter to put down his clothes and leave the duty room to continue rehabilitation training. Before leaving, the doctor could not help but give Wang Chengzhu a few words, asking him to pay attention to moderation and drink more.

Get plenty of fluids and rest.

Wang Chengzhu left the doctor's duty room and came to the flat land in front of the ward. He didn't see the temporary labor team that went to the west mountain to cut down dead trees in the morning. When he asked, he found out that he was called by the cooking squad leader.

Wang Chengzhu followed him to the cafeteria courtyard to have a look, and said thank you. Instead of sharing sports equipment with the rehabilitation staff in the No. 2 Hospital for the Slightly Injured, he turned left and ran to the east gate post, walking quickly towards the cafeteria courtyard on the south side of Yang Slope.

Go.

When Wang Chengzhu walked into the small courtyard of the cafeteria, two light-legged soldiers were coming in from the door carrying a birch pole. A dead rattan rope buckle was tied to the middle of the pole, and a wooden barrel with a handle was wrapped around the rope buckle.

.The two soldiers walked to the reservoir. The cook held the handle with one hand and lifted the bottom of the bucket with the other hand and poured half the bucket of water into the reservoir.

It turns out that the cooking squad leader went to the No. 2 Hospital for the Slightly Wounded to find the sick and wounded who could do light physical labor to replenish the water reservoir. Speaking of which, this can be considered an old tradition. Wang Chengzhu was in middle school education before time travel.

I learned a lot about chopping firewood and carrying water to help farmers. The field hospital was stationed in this mountain village, borrowing the ancestral hall of the rich households in the village and using it together with the water drainage pond in the small courtyard.

This above-ground water tank was originally used for fire prevention, but now it is used for washing and drinking water. Dozens of centimeters of water are used every day except for evaporation. It happened that in the afternoon, soldiers from the guard platoon were sent out to receive the transfer materials. The cooking squad leader took the

The chef found the organizer who had gone out to work in the morning and asked him to organize some willing soldiers to help replenish the reservoir in the canteen courtyard.

The field hospital cooking class has a total of three carrying poles and eight buckets. The cooking team leader and the chief chef used the carrying poles to carry water, and temporarily made four lifting poles with dead vines and wooden poles. Soldiers with good physical strength and steady walking followed the carrying poles to do the rounds.

The light-legged warriors who were substitute porters and were less recovered carried water back and forth in pairs.

Wang Chengzhu felt that he was recovering well, and followed two lightly wounded soldiers carrying lifting poles towards the water fetching place. When they arrived at the water fetching place, Wang Chengzhu saw a well platform built with mud bricks, and a winch and windlass were set up next to the well platform.
It can be seen that this well was probably dug by the wealthy family. The mud bricks and the double-coiled windlass did not look cheap. There was also the long rope that stretched across the mouth of the well. It took twenty or thirty turns to twist the bottom of the well.

The wooden bucket is lifted out of the well wall. The bucket is placed on the well platform, and the water is poured sideways into the bucket standing beside the well platform.

After wringing out half the bucket, let the water bearer step forward to thread the pole, wrap it around the dead vines and carry the pole back to the canteen courtyard; after winching up the first bucket, let the worker on the pole come forward, divide the bucket into two half buckets, and hang them on the pole.

Pick it up on the front and rear rope hooks.

The team leader was very happy to see a new soldier coming with him. He thought that carrying water was not a strenuous task, but he didn't expect that after carrying it for two miles, many of his comrades' faces were flushed and they were out of breath after two trips.
This well is at the foot of the mountain, a kilometer away from the Fuhu Ancestral Hall in the mountain village, along a mountain road with slopes of more than fifteen degrees. Although this mountain road has been exposed to the sun for more than seventy years and is as solid as rammed earth, it is still difficult in this early spring.

, the weather is dry and cold, and I feel tired after walking twice under the sun.

The cooking squad leader left a helper in the small courtyard of the cafeteria. Not only did he help pour water for the water workers, but he also left instructions to fill a few bowls of hot water and let it cool for the comrades to drink. Such labor protection measures cannot prevent minor injuries.

The bodies of the soldiers cannot bear the intensity and frequency of such heavy work.

As the lightly wounded warriors participating in labor made their third and fourth journeys, the intervals between actions gradually became longer and longer. The soldier with an elbow stick who volunteered to winch the wheel had already drank an iron teapot of warm water.

Sit on the winding tree roots next to the well and rest.

Wang Chengzhu has gone back five times carrying the pole. His face is slightly red, his breathing is long, and his feet are steady and steady. He is not at all like the cooking squad leader who has gone back five times like him.
