Chapter 7 The first day to go to work
In the early morning, the loud military horns called the sleeping educated youth from their dreams. The vast fields seemed to wake up from their sleep, and the earth became alive because of human activities. Today is the first day for the new educated youth in the fifth company to go to work. After breakfast, they lined up and sang the theme song "The Song of Military Reclamation" in a documentary that they had just learned, "The Frontiers Are Like Jiangnan" to run towards a large primitive forest on the west side of the station:
Everyone says Jiangnan is good.
I said the frontier is as good as Jiangnan.
The morning glow dyes the lake water,
The reflection of the snow-capped mountains reflects the blue sky,
In the smoky waves of dusk,
The warrior returns and fish fills the warehouse...
Today’s job is to log wood, build a house for yourself, and live in a tent is not a solution. As the snow season is coming, there is no house that can shelter from wind and snow, and the cold current can freeze people into popsicles.
After a while, they arrived in front of a forest, which was a primitive forest. The terrain was high in the fir forest, and the lower ones were various pine trees, poplars, willows, white birch, and other towering trees that could not be called out. The north wind blew, and the pine needles made a rustling sound, and sometimes there were hares and pheasants fled around the woods. This forest has existed on this land for many years. Here they grew from a seed, growing into towering trees, and then aging, dying, and finally new seeds sprout and grow, day after day, year after year. Now their days are probably over.
What a primeval forest, it will soon be buried with your own hands. What Li Siming is now thinking about whether he will return farmland to forests on the original site in many years and develop forests. Only after losing it can he learn to cherish it, and what humans can do is to make trouble.
The task allocation has been long been divided. The first row is responsible for cutting down fir forests. The tall, straight and strong fir trees are good materials for building houses, but they can only choose the kind of trees that are as thick as thighs. If it is too big, it will be difficult to use. The second row is responsible for cutting down broad-leaved forests such as birch and poplar trees. The third row is responsible for infrastructure and digging foundations in the offices of the station company. When it snows, the frozen soil will be harder than concrete. It will be later not to dig. The fourth row is responsible for the transportation of building materials such as wood and sand. The fifth row is a female soldier platoon, responsible for logistics and other auxiliary work.
As soon as the company commander announced the start of work, wow, all the educated youth rushed up and swung their huge axes to chop them up. Someone accidentally flashed his waist and had to hum on the side, which made Li Siming laugh so hard that his stomach hurt. The three of them were also very excited. They worked hard to cut down trees. No one of them had ever done such a job. If they tried too hard, their whole body would be sore after finishing work. Li Siming originally wanted to remind them to pay attention and see how they worked hard. Just forget it.
Knee, Knee, the axe cut on the tree, making regular muffled groans, and wood chips splashed everywhere.
"The tree fell, be careful..." The educated youth shouted, and the big trees were put down to the ground, scaring the pheasant and the little squirrels to hide everywhere. Li Siming chopped them up unhurriedly, and each axe was accurately cut on the knife edge of the tree trunk. Since he was reborn, he felt that he had great strength every day, but even so, sweat beads still appeared on the boy's forehead. Some people even took off their coats and wore only a sweat shirt to work hard. The forest was folded down, and the educated youth who had been waiting for a long time came forward, used axe, hatchet, sickle and other tools to remove the branches and branches, and then divided the long wood into several pieces according to the length specified in advance. Then, the wood was transported back to the company with a flatbed truck.
After working for a day, I finally finished my work. The educated youth who had been working for a day finally felt tired. After dinner, they all went into the tent to rest.
"Siming, I cut down thirty trees today, isn't it?" Zhang Hua boasted. He worked hard today, and I really couldn't tell. He still had a few strength. Marshal Xu also cut down almost this number, but he didn't brag so much. Li Siming only cut down fifteen trees today, and all of them were not the least. However, they were more than less than the top and the bottom. They also received attention when they performed too well or performed too poorly, so he was a sloppy man.
"It's really 'You don't show your appearance, but you don't show your appearance.' Look at your outfit, you're a worker. Are you tired now?" Li Siming joked.
"I'm so tired, so fucking tired. I don't feel it when I was working. Now I'm resting, I feel tired." Zhang Hua said.
"I guess your arms will be as swollen as some of the ripe pig's trotters tomorrow."
"Ah, it's really possible. It's the first time I've done such a heavy job. I will definitely be sore and painful tomorrow. I want to be positive and be rewarded for meritorious service. Now I've become a ward!" Zhang Hua nodded in agreement. Shuai Xu and Yuan Hou touched their arms, obviously thinking so.
"Actually, this is nothing. Just press and touch it and unblock the muscles and blood vessel nervous system, and there will be nothing serious." Li Siming smiled.
"Where is the blind man who touches the touching master in this place where the bird does not shit!" Zhang Hua sighed.
"Tsk, who said that only blind people are pressing and touching?" Li Si obviously thought of the future industry with a pun meaning.
"I'm not blind, who else can do it here? Doctors from the regiment headquarters? They probably won't. Besides, they are in the regiment headquarters, which is more than ten miles away."
"I can!"
"You can? Stop kidding. I don't know how much you have. I can't even be so wise and powerful, so why are you better?" Zhang Hua obviously started to whine again.
"Why don't you give it a try?" Ya, it made people look down on you.
"Just try it." Zhang Hua is not willing to be outdone.
Li Siming asked him to lie on the bunk, and first pulled his arms hard, and a crisp sound frightened Shuai Xu and Hou Yuan and asked him to stop. Li Siming shook his head and said it was okay.
He said he could press and touch, but in fact, it was not right. The method he used was learned from veterans in the special forces in his previous life. Special forces training is large, and it can be described as harsh. In order to better restore physical strength and cope with larger and more training, there is such a recovery method in the army, which is similar to press and touch, but it is more professional.
Look at Zhang Hua again, after Li Siming's pressing, he hummed, sometimes howling, sometimes screaming, sometimes screaming so comfortable. Li Siming "worked hard" for twenty minutes and wiped his sweat. He was so tired, he was even more tired than logging during the day. When he turned around, Shuai Xu and Yuan Hou put on flattering faces, shook their heads and tails and showed their respect. Shuai Xu helped him wipe his sweat, and Yuan Hou brought a cup of tea.
"You want to?" Li Siming asked, and the two nodded violently like chickens pecking at rice.
"You have also seen it. This is a technical job and a physical job. After being tired for a long time, no one pressed me?" Li Siming's cunning eyes reminded the two of them of the scene on the train.
"This is my Chairman Mao's badge. There are very few pure copper ones in the world. It is said to be the first batch of them. Now there is no need to invite them." It is considered as buying the Chairman's badge, not "buy", but "commission". Mr. Xu decisively took out his badge. On the way to the Great Northern Wilderness, Li Siming had always wanted to change it, but he didn't agree, and he also sacrificed his badge today.
"Siming, you see, my seal has been given to you a long time ago. I have a collection of Lu Xun's prose here, and I give it to you." Seeing that Marshal Xu was in the lead, Yuan Hou made up his mind.
"Okay, since everyone loves it so much, I will reluctantly accept it, haha." Li Siming made a treacherous plan.
There was another sound of howlings of ghosts and wolves higher than the tent.
Finally, the touch was over. Shuai Shuai and Yuan Hou were still lying on the bed to reminisce. Zhang Hua pushed Li Siming and pointed outside the tent. Wow, why are there so many people, and more than a dozen heads came in from outside, including platoon leader Comrade Zhao Shanhe, probably caused by the howling of the wolf.
"Press and touch it. The noise is too loud. I thought a pack of wolves came in." Platoon Commander Zhao also knew the goods.
"Yes, my three comrades-in-arms are very active in their work today. I am afraid that they will feel sore tomorrow, so I press them to relieve their fatigue." Li Siming regretted that he should stuff a towel into Zhang Hua and the others' mouths.
"Well, it's not bad. The love for comrades is worthy of praise. This is the most sincere and noblest relationship between the class brothers of the proletariat." Platoon Commander Zhao put a high hat on him.
"Where, where, I still need to continue to study in depth and understand the spirit of the central government." Li Siming felt a bit conspiring.
"I think this spirit should be worthy of being carried forward. You four are just a small group, a small part of our 28 comrades in the ranks. Today, all the comrades in our ranks are very hard. Comrade Li Siming, do you see if you press them for them so that they can work hard tomorrow to build Daxing and Beidakuang with a fuller spirit?" Sure enough, the fox's tail was revealed.
"Of course, this is what I should do." Li Siming was helpless, so he said that he would be proud of himself, but he would not see any blood. Marshal Xu and Yuan Hou met each other and smiled, squinted, and finally got revenge.
So, all the educated youth lined up to accept Li Siming's service, and our platoon leader Zhao Shanhe was naturally the first one. Li Siming suddenly felt that this picture looked like something. Yes, in that movie, the Japanese soldiers lined up to go to the comfort center to receive condolences.
