"Go and call Chang Xing over. If Chang Xing doesn't speak, I can't let you mess around like this." Zhou Maolin said.
"Don't worry. Uncle Maolin, if Chang Xing doesn't agree, I won't bother to build an orchard. The four of us did it together. Da Lei, Red Soldier, the four of us are inseparable from the weight." Zhang Xilai finished with a smile,
He ran to Chang Xing's house. Chang Xing's house was right next to him, and he ran to the door in just one breath.
"So fast?" Chang Xing saw Zhang Hongbing running over quickly.
"Uncle Maolin said that I can only rest assured if you answer the question. It's your words that will help." Zhang Xilai said helplessly.
"If you can run the teahouse well, your words will be very useful to Uncle Maolin." Zhang Dalei said with a smile.
Zhou Hongbing nodded: "How about you build an orchard behind your house, your words will work."
"You two know how to talk sarcastically here. I am working for the great cause of the four of us, and you two are not contributing at all. From now on, you two will not have a share in the garden," Zhang Xilai said.
"You talk as if the orchard belongs to your family. It is the collective property of the brigade. Everyone has a share, and my family also has a share," Zhang Dalei said.
The expression on Zhang Xilai's face immediately changed. He was so embarrassed and tired.
Chang Xing smiled and said: "You two, stop arguing. In the future, when the Xianjiqiao Brigade becomes rich, every household will naturally become rich as well, but those who do more and do well will naturally get more."
After a few days, there was movement in those barren hills. All the labor force of Xianji Bridge gathered on the barren hills. The most common thing these days was the big battle, with hundreds or thousands of people working together at every turn.
A red flag was planted on the top of the mountain. The young and strong labor force of Xianji Bridge used axes, hatchets and saws to cut down the shrubs and low trees on the barren mountain in pieces. After clearing the trees in the mountain,
Then he came over with a hoe, dug out all the wooden piles, and then dug the barren hill into steps. Then he took a dustpan and picked up the soil to fill the low-lying areas.
People's hearts are in a state of flux. In this day and age, the human wave tactic is quite terrifying.
Zhang Fangqing was wearing a white vest with many holes drilled into it, and the skin all over his body seemed to be oiled and shiny black. When he swung the hoe, the muscles on his arms seemed to bounce.
"Xilai, what will the dig look like here? Do you have any idea?" Zhang Fangqing asked.
"How do I know this? I have to ask Chang Xing." Zhang Xilai scratched his head and had no clue at all.
"You idiot, why do you have to ask Xilai about everything? Don't you have any idea? How can you get it? You have to ask Chang Xing for everything, so why do you still need to do it? Let you come on the spot.
How long?" Zhang Fangqing said.
Xiao Dajiang also smiled and said: "Yeah, you don't care about anything, you all rely on Chang Xing. Why don't you just stay in the orchard and eat dry food?"
"Uncle Dajiang, look at what you said, how can we let Chang Xing do things alone? Aren't we still learning slowly? From now on, we will definitely be the ones doing the errands. Chang Xing just needs to be the commander."
Zhang Xilai said.
"That's pretty much it." Xiao Dajiang said.
Xiao Laosi smiled and said: "The young people in our team are talented and will be more promising than the older generation like us in the future."
"It's better if the younger generation has a bright future." Zhou Maolin said with a smile.
"Secretary Maolin, it's rare for you to participate in labor a few times. Why did you come to participate in labor this time?" Xiao Laosi asked.
"This is a major event for our Xianji Bridge. How can I sit still?" Zhou Maolin said with a smile.
"When educated young people come to our brigade, it's not like they are useless at all. At least since they came, the atmosphere of our brigade has changed. The tea plantation is gaining momentum, and we might be able to produce tea next year. The orchards have been built.
It won't take a few years for the fruit to appear. If we do the same thing, our Xianjiqiao brigade will be prosperous. This year, the pig farm will be able to produce at least a hundred strong pigs. The meat allocated to each person at the end of the year will be more than in previous years.
Fan." Zhang Fangqing said.
"If you are poor, you will want to change. We at Xianji Bridge cannot guard a large area of land while being hungry. We have to use our brains to find a way!" Zhou Maolin said sincerely.
Zhang Xilai claimed credit in front of Chang Xing: "Chang Xing, thanks to me telling Uncle Maolin, otherwise how could we get everyone in the brigade to come over and help us? It's great now, we can conquer these mountains at once
They’ve all been taken over. From now on, each of us will take up a hilltop.”
There are exactly four consecutive hills here, and each person occupies one of them.
"Forget it, it's fine for me to live at home. From now on, my mountain top belongs to you." Chang Xing said quickly.
"Then why are you so embarrassed?" Zhang Xilai said with some embarrassment.
"Don't be embarrassed. Besides, when have you ever been polite to your arrival? You're welcome. I live very well at home, and my hilltop is yours." Zhou Hongbing said cheerfully.
"I also want to live at home. Don't be polite, the mountain top is yours. From now on, watering, fertilizing, chasing wild animals, etc., it's all your hard work." Zhang Dalei said.
"Dalei, why do you think you are so clear-minded? Has Xilai always wanted to be the king of the mountain? Then let him be the king of the mountain." Zhou Hongbing said.
"No, no, I think I'm more accustomed to living at home. I don't want your hilltop anymore. We agreed that the four of us will manage the gardening farm together," Zhang Xilai said.
"I'm still in charge of the tea farm now. I may not have time to come here and take care of it," Chang Xing said.
"Then there are three of us." Zhang Xilai came to look at Zhang Dalei and Zhou Hongbing.
"Now I have to work in the brigade. It's not bad to count as half of the labor force. I can earn more work points for my family. I eat so much, I can't do no work at all, right?" Zhang Dalei said.
"I also have to work in the production team. I can also earn half the work points of the labor force. I really don't have time to manage the garden." Zhou Hongbing also hurriedly shied away.
Zhang Xilai became anxious and said angrily: "Before, we agreed to manage this garden together, but now you are shirking it one by one. What do you mean?"
Seeing that Zhang Xilai was anxious, everyone burst out laughing.
"Xilai, weren't you very proud just now? Why are you so anxious now?" Zhang Dalei said.
Chang Xing and Zhou Hongbing laughed non-stop.
"You guys are so bad, you actually teamed up to tease me. It's so outrageous." Zhang Xilai wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. It was really embarrassing.
Seeing Xilai's embarrassed look, Chang Xing and the others couldn't stop laughing.
"Xilai, actually Secretary Maolin has told me that those of us who manage the gardening field all enjoy the treatment of brigade cadres and can get full work points. But we must manage the gardening field well. The brigade depends on the gardening field.
It's a turnaround. Our gardening farm has just started, but Laosi's pig farm will be able to produce by the end of this year. So we have to work hard," Chang Xing said.
"That goes without saying. After getting work points, if you don't manage the gardening field well, it would be weird if you don't break my father's legs when you go back." Zhang Xilai said.
"Don't worry, with Changxing, why are you worried that you can't manage the gardening field?" Zhang Dalei was not worried at all.
"You are so generous, but we can't rely entirely on Chang Xing." Zhang Xilai said.
Zhou Hongbing nodded: "Chang Xing, if you have anything to do, just let us do it."
"It's still early. Let's prepare the saplings before winter comes. There are a lot of fruit tree saplings needed in the four barren mountains," Chang Xing said.
"That's right, you have such a small orchard, but we have to work hard to get so many fruit saplings. Now with four such big barren mountains, it is not an easy task. We have to find a way early." Zhang Xilai said worriedly.
"Have you forgotten the shoe factory?" Chang Xing said.
"The shoe factory makes shoes, how can they find fruit tree seedlings for us?" Zhou Hongbing shook his head.
"Although they don't have fruit tree seedlings, they may not be able to help us get fruit tree seedlings. Didn't the city's gardening centers cultivate various fruit tree seedlings? We can use the shoe factory to help us get fruit tree seedlings at the gardening center!" Chang
Xing said.
"Yes, this is a good idea. But wait until the next time they come over, it will be almost Chinese New Year, and it will definitely be too late to get fruit saplings by then." Zhou Hongbing said.
"You can go to Teacher Ye. Our Xianjiqiao brigade has set up a pig farm, and one hundred strong pigs will be put out for slaughter by the end of the year. After handing in, these strong pigs will be handled by our brigade. The shoe factory will tell us every year
In exchange for supplies, you don’t need to exchange supplies with us when you get them to the gardening center? We can ask them to cultivate some fruit tree seedlings for us," Chang Xing said.
"It's still early, so go to Dashui Middle School to find Teacher Ye as soon as possible." Zhang Xilai said.
The four people immediately rushed to Dashui Middle School.
Ye Jiangwei's life is not very good now. Although she was not greatly affected by Dashui, her family's situation is not very good. Although Ye Jiangwei's parents are both workers, her mother Xu Xingxiu's natal family used to be capitalists. Every time they engage in criticism,
Every time, Xu Xingxiu will be regarded as a typical example.
In order to prevent Ye Jiangwei from being affected too, Ye Deshan asked Ye Jiangwei to stay in the flood and return to clear water as little as possible.
"Teacher Ye, why are you so thin?" Chang Xing was also shocked when he saw Ye Jiangwei.
"Chang Xing? Why are you here?" Ye Jiangwei hesitated for a moment before recognizing Chang Xing. Chang Xing had not been seen for more than a year, and he had grown a lot taller.
"Teacher Ye, do you still remember me?" Zhang Xilai walked up to Ye Jiangwei.
"Zhang Xilai, why are you still so tall? You have to work harder. Chang Xing and the others are much taller than you." Ye Jiangwei said with a smile.
Zhang Xilai scratched his head and walked aside with a wry smile. Height was always a pain in his heart.
Zhang Dalei stood in front of Ye Jiangwei with some embarrassment: "Teacher Ye, where am I?"
"Zhang Dalei, you have gained weight again. Your life in Xianjiqiao is so good." Ye Jiangwei said with a smile.
"Teacher Ye, then go back to Xianji Bridge. Chang Xing's family has meat every day," Zhou Hongbing said.
"Zhou Hongbing has grown a lot." Ye Jiangwei called out the names of several people one by one.
"Teacher Ye, did something happen?" Chang Xing asked.
"It's nothing. The family background is not very good, and my parents have been affected a bit. In fact, it's not a big deal. After all, our parents are just ordinary workers now, and the situation at home is also very ordinary. The situation in the shoe factory is pretty good. You guys come here today,
Is there something going on?" Ye Jiangwei said.
"Teacher Ye, originally when we came here today, we wanted you to ask the people at the shoe factory if they could help us get some fruit tree seedlings when we returned to Qingshui. We at Xianji Bridge opened four barren hills and planned to use them for gardening.
Now prepare the seedlings in advance." Chang Xing said.
"This matter. My family background is not very good now, and I will be easily affected when I go back, so my parents asked me to stay in Dashui Middle School as much as possible. I'm afraid I won't be able to help with this matter." Ye Jiangwei said in embarrassment.
"It's okay. Teacher Ye, don't worry, we have other ways." Chang Xing said.
"How about you ask Principal Jin." Ye Jiangwei said.
Chang Xing nodded and placed some bacon he brought over in Ye Jiangwei's room.
"Chang Xing, take these things away. I can't help you at all, so how can I still take your things?" Ye Jiangwei quickly picked up the bacon and prepared to return it to Chang Xing and others.
"Teacher Ye, you are too foreign. We give you bacon as if you are a relative of our Xianji Bridge. If you don't want our bacon, you are looking down on us mountain people." Chang Xing said.
Ye Jiangwei chuckled: "Okay, I'll accept it. I'll accept whatever you give me in the future."
"That's right." Chang Xing and others smiled and left.
Jin Kanghe was also very happy about the arrival of Chang Xing and others.
"I will ask you about this when I return to the city. It should not be a big problem. Many places in the city are in chaos now. I am not sure whether there are any fruit tree seedlings in the gardening center. I hope they are still normal.
Let's operate it." Jin Kanghe said worriedly.
"It's okay. In fact, the gardening center can't get fruit tree seedlings, so let's think of another way. There will always be a way for everything," Chang Xing said.
**********
The Xianjiqiao brigade was in full swing, and the Youth Farm was also expanding its farm with great fanfare.
The newly arrived young intellectuals are sweating profusely on the barren hills and working hard to reclaim them.
"Zhu Yuming, I think Zhao Jianguo and the others are deliberately trying to mess with us. They old intellectuals and young people eat delicious food every day, while we eat simple meals. If this continues, how can we still have the energy to work?" Wang Chaoyun said dissatisfied.
.
"Yes, Zhu Yuming, among our new educated youth, you are the most capable, and you are also a member of the party branch now and have the right to speak in the party committee. You should fight more for our new educated youth.
It’s a profit.” Ma Jian said.
"Yes, our new educated youth should unite. We cannot let them, the old educated youth, bully them at will." Yu Guoru also said.
Zhu Yuming waved his hand: "It's useless to say this. We are now provided by old educated young people. If we make them anxious and cut off our food supply, we will be miserable."
