Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forestry farm

After breakfast, those who go to work and those who go to school go about their business.

When someone was invited to dinner in the afternoon, Zhang Shuzhen did not go to the family team to work, but stayed at home to clean up and prepare meals.

The forest farm's family team does not work according to work points, but borrows money.

For a day's work, I pay eighty cents to one yuan in advance, and when the vegetables are sold in the fall, I pay them all together.

In fact, it is equivalent to working to earn money, and then spending money to buy food later.

Those who work a lot will have some left over after the accounts are calculated, and those who work a little may have to find some money later.

The same goes for Sheng Xiping and other educated youths.

The work of the agricultural team involves borrowing money every day and settling the accounts together in the fall.

Those at the forest farm are seasonal and temporary workers. When the forest farm is busy with production, they go to work.

After completing the first stage and passing the acceptance inspection, the factory will settle wages.

Occasionally, there will be some work such as road construction and house building, and they can also work as temporary workers.

Compared with formal workers, educated youths earn less, have no ratings or labor protections, and their earnings are not fixed.

Anyway, after a year of busy work, some people can have some left over, while others have nothing left and have to eat and drink at home.

People like Sheng Xiping spend most of the spring, summer and autumn in the family team, interspersed with afforestation, silviculture and production, and by the way, they also do some mountaineering.

In the winter, he went to work in the mountains, felling and carrying wood, and occasionally went hunting with his master.

At the end of the year, I can make a lot of money. After deducting my own food and drinks, I can still save four to five hundred yuan.

Among these young people in the forest farm, he is definitely the first.

It is not easy to plow over two hundred acres of land.

The forest farm family team does not have large animals, so they naturally do not have plows to plow the ground. The only way to plow the ground is by people using pickaxes to dig and prepare ridges.

The people at this forest farm are not bad. At least they help the family grow vegetables and plow the ground.

Those educated youths from Songjianghe had never worked before, and even after these days of training, they were not very good at work.

After plowing the ground for a while, my tired arms ached, and everyone sat on the ground groaning.

Lao Hu and many of his family members saw it and couldn't help but shake their heads.

Where are the work materials for these young masters? What can I do with this? It only causes trouble for people.

Keren has already made arrangements, so we can't go back, right?

Now that Dadi is close to home, I don’t have to eat dry food and pickles at noon. I just go back to eat.

Take a break at noon and continue working after one o'clock in the afternoon.

Sheng Xiping told Lao Hu in advance, so at 4:30 in the afternoon, Lao Hu shouted to call it a day and start again tomorrow.

The young man cheered, hurriedly packed up his tools, carried the pickaxe back to the family team's warehouse, and then ran back happily.

Xiping, what delicious food have you prepared at home today?

As soon as they packed their things and put them in storage, Gao Haining and the others grabbed Sheng Xiping's neck with expectant looks and asked him.

I don't know what my mother prepared, but the snake must have been in the pot yesterday.

I also caught fish this morning. I don’t know what my mother did.

Let's go to my house together. Let's have a good meal tonight.

Sheng Xiping was working outside, so how could he know what his mother was cooking at home? Anyway, as long as there is something to eat.

Well, let's go home and change our clothes first.

Look at what was built in a day, with a gray head and a disgraced face. How can I go to your house like this?

Gao Haining and Chen Weiguo winked at each other.

How can you go to someone else’s house to eat with nothing?

If they can't just give them food stamps or grains, they have to buy some tobacco, alcohol, or canned food, right?

How can you go to eat with your hands free? They are not that thick-skinned.

It hasn't rained in the past few days, and the ground has been a little dry. This day, the soil has become violent.

Sheng Xiping looked at himself, then at Zhou Qinglan and others. They were all covered in gray.

Okay, then don't take too long. I'll wait for you when I go home.

This outfit of his is pretty good, so he should go home and change out of it.

In this way, everyone separated. Sheng Xiping went home first, fetched water to wash his hair and face, and planned to change clothes and help his mother with cooking.

Braised snake segments, leek, tree chicken and mushrooms, braised willow roots with soy sauce, braised thin-scale fish, crucian carp tofu soup, scrambled eggs with fungus.

Then add a bowl of egg sauce and a plate of dried tofu, green onions, lettuce, radish tassels and other things to dip into the pickles.

The staple food is gold and silver rice mixed with rice and rhubarb rice.

Son, what do you think? If it feels like it's missing, can I go to the store and buy two more cans?

While Sheng Xiping was washing her hair, Zhang Shuzhen was talking about the menu.

No, Mom, this is rich enough.

Six dishes, one soup, and fish, this is quite a high standard. Who would be willing to eat like this on a normal day?

Whatever you have done now, I will do the rest. Don't bore you.

Sheng Xiping wiped his hair randomly, put on his shirt, and returned to the kitchen to ask.

No, no, it's almost done. Don't we have your two sisters to help? Zhang Shuzhen waved her hands after hearing this.

You go to the store and buy two bottles of wine. I remember those boys would drink some.

It's rare for you to get together, so it doesn't matter if you drink a little.

As Zhang Shuzhen spoke, she took money out of her pocket and wanted Sheng Xiping to buy wine.

Sheng Xiping had money in his pocket, but he stepped out without taking what his mother handed him.

As a result, before he could even walk out of the door, he saw Gao Haining, Tang Fengying, Wang Jianshe, Zhou Qinglan and others coming over carrying things.

Come to my house for a meal, what else will you bring? Do you really treat me like an outsider?

When Sheng Xiping saw it, his face suddenly darkened. These brats had done something wrong.

Friends who grew up together come to our house for a meal and bring something? what does this mean?

Xiping, Qinglan bought these, we just helped them get them.

Qinglan said, it's her first time to come to your house, so it's not good to be empty-handed.

Gao Haining winked at Sheng Xiping and signaled Sheng Xiping not to get angry. After all, Zhou Qinglan was still here, so he should pay attention to his image.

Sheng Xiping glared at Gao Haining and the others. He bet that among these things, at least the wine was not bought by Zhou Qinglan.

But even after Gao Haining said so, Sheng Xiping couldn't get angry in front of Zhou Qinglan.

Qinglan, you don't have to do this in the future. When you come here, it's just like your own home.

Zhou Qinglan's face turned slightly red and she smiled at Sheng Xiping.

I don't know what my uncle and aunt like, so I just bought them casually and didn't spend much money.

Since Gao Haining and the others brought wine, Sheng Xiping didn't have to buy it, so he led everyone into the house.

Mom, this is Qinglan, I should have seen her before.

Among these people, only Zhou Qinglan came back to the Sheng family for the first time, and Sheng Xiping had to introduce him.

Hello, aunt.

Well, when I came home for the first time, I didn’t know what my aunt and uncle liked, so I bought a few cans and two boxes of snacks.

Zhou Qinglan looked embarrassed and hurriedly handed over what she was holding.
