The condolences performance was performed in a large tractor shed on the mountain.
A temporary performance stage was set up inside, with employees wearing work clothes underneath. They found some wooden pillars and put some wooden boards on them, and sat in rows.
There were too many people to sit down in the hangar. Some people were standing outside the open door of the hangar, crowding around and looking in.
On the temporary stage, the actors from the Bureau's cultural troupe were singing and dancing, performing Allegro Shu Laibao, or performing model plays.
No matter what the performance is, the workers below will give them warm applause.
The singer who came from Changying sang several theme songs for movies produced by Changying and won rounds of applause.
At the end of the two-hour performance, the workers were still unsatisfied.
Everyone was talking about the program just now, shaking their heads as they came out of the tractor shed and went back to the dormitory to rest.
As Sheng Liancheng was guarding the generator at night, Sheng Xian and Sheng Xikang stayed in Sheng Liancheng's bed and had a good sleep.
At this time, the whole field was playing a game of chess, and the workers were spinning around on the mountain. The field was also actively preparing programs and going up the mountain to perform.
Zheng Xiuzhen, the league secretary of Qianchuan Forestry Primary and Secondary School, is the cousin of the farm director Zheng Xianyong.
This man was progressive in his thinking and active, so he organized the teachers and students of the school to rehearse programs and go up the mountain to perform condolences.
One of the programs, "I Deliver Night Dinner to the Worker Uncle," had a script written by Chen Weiguo's younger brother, Chen Weimin.
There is a line in the performance, "I want to ask what kind of dinner is being delivered. The staple food is bread twists and biscuits, and the non-staple food is beer, red wine and Lao Baigan."
The workers in the audience couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and some asked who made it up.
When they learned that the book was compiled by Chen Weimin, everyone asked Chen Weiguo.
"Wei Guo, go home and ask your brother, we don't want the bread, twists and so on. When will the beer, red wine, and Lao Bai Gan be delivered?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help it and started laughing.
Life in the mountains is monotonous and boring. People repeat the same life trajectory every day, eating, working and resting.
Every night, everyone is so tired that they lie on the bed and don't want to move.
After a good night's sleep, I get up full of energy and start a new day of work and production.
Although this kind of life is hard and tiring, people in this era have a rich spiritual world.
No matter how hard or tiring it is, everyone has great enthusiasm for life.
Everyone works hard and does their part for the construction of the country.
In the blink of an eye, Sheng Xiping and the others have been on the mountain for two months.
During this period, Zhou Qinglan, who was checking the dimensions at the loading point, would go to work with others for one day every half month and come up to see Sheng Xiping.
Every time he came up, he helped Sheng Xiping wash all the dirty clothes, tidied the bed, and brought delicious food to Sheng Xiping.
Such a considerate person has attracted the envy of countless people.
Of course, the one who is even more enviable is Gao Haining.
News came from the bottom of the mountain that Tang Fengying had not been feeling well a few days ago. She went to the clinic for a checkup and found out that she was pregnant.
"Xiping, Weiguo, Jianshe, have you heard? I'm going to be a father.
Haha, Fengying is pregnant, we will have a baby soon."
When Gao Haining received the news, he was so happy that he didn't know what to do. The guy jumped so high that he almost jumped into the sky.
Several people who usually teased Gao Haining when they got the chance were silent at this time.
When Sheng Xiping heard that Gao Haining's wife was pregnant and that he was going to be a father soon, and he was not engaged to his partner yet, he felt worried.
Desperate for the work on the mountain to end immediately, he hurried to Songjianghe, got engaged to Zhou Qinglan, and married his wife after the year.
As for Chen Weiguo, he is not as good as Sheng Xiping. He and Liu Hongxia have not yet made their relationship clear.
The conditions of the Chen family are somewhat poorer, with eight brothers and sisters in the family, but the situation of the second generation is still the same.
Most people are not willing to marry their daughter off.
Chen Weiguo was also worried and didn't know what to say.
On the other hand, Wang Jianshe also felt sad.
He has a slight affection for Li Xue, but the two of them rarely see each other and have few opportunities to interact with each other. How can this develop?
The older ones all have their own concerns.
On the other hand, Zhang Zhijun and Pan Fusheng, who were younger and not yet familiar with these things, followed Gao Haining there to have fun.
"Gao Haining is going to be a father, why are you two enjoying it? Looking at you two, it's like eating bee cake."
Sheng Xiping looked at those two silly boys and found them funny. He couldn't help but tease them.
Zhang Zhijun was stunned when he heard this.
"Brother Xiping, brother Haining is going to be a father, so won't I be the older one and be an uncle?
That’s great, so why aren’t you happy?”
Zhang Zhijun is also the eldest in the family and has no brothers or sisters.
Most of the relatives of the Zhang family are also in their hometown, and their cousins are all far away from each other, so there is no relationship between them.
These guys play together all the time and have a very good relationship. Zhang Zhijun truly regards Sheng Xiping and the others as brothers.
His nephew was about to report, so of course he was happy.
"Brother Haining, when my nephew is born, I will definitely give him a big gift and let him call me uncle in the future."
"Brother Xiping, hurry up and marry Sister Qinglan as soon as possible. Then I will have two more nephews. How wonderful."
"Well, you can have this, just wait.
After we finish all the work on the mountain, I will go to Zhou's house and make the engagement first."
Sheng Xiping nodded, looking forward to it in his heart.
The mountain farm didn't take a break on New Year's Day either, but got off work a little early in the afternoon.
The master chef in the cafeteria specially made steamed buns stuffed with sauerkraut and pork. Each person is limited to five.
The buns were quite big, but they were not enough for Sheng Xiping and his companions.
So they each grabbed some food and stuff, and had a nice meal.
A lot of wood had been accumulated on the mountain, so after New Year's Day, Sheng Xiping began to lead people to unload wood down the mountain.
Around the time of the solar calendar, the coldest season arrives.
When a person breathes outdoors, a stream of hot air is emitted. The hot air immediately condenses into water droplets, which stick to the area around the mouth and eyebrows, forming a layer of white frost.
Working in such weather, people will find it difficult to breathe, as if there is something wrong with their lungs.
However, no matter how severe the weather is, forestry workers must persist in completing their production tasks without any delay.
The ice ravines between the valleys have been repaired and frozen, and are now very strong and ready for use.
When gathering wood, the wood is arranged diagonally on both sides of the ice ditch in a fishbone shape.
At this time, several people came forward and used small levers to pry the wood so that it rolled over and rolled into the ice ditch.
The ice gully has a hard base and is a bit slippery, so the wood slides directly down the glacial gully.
The huge log weighed more than a thousand kilograms. The sliding force was very strong and the sliding speed was also very fast. The scene was really thrilling.
After the person above put the wood down, he shouted, "Get down."
The people below looked up along the ice channel and looked for hiding places to avoid being hit by logs.
With such a heavy log, coupled with the force of the falling, if it is really injured, there is basically no way to survive.
