Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 309 Promising Huahua
The educated youth team has tractors and ox-horse harnesses this year, and their working methods are much different from last year, mainly reflected in the transportation of materials.

Originally, the wood was lifted manually, and after being piled together, it was slid down the mountain through the ice ditch.

This is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also extremely dangerous, and accidents may occur if you are not careful.

Nowadays, mechanical skidding and cattle and horse skidding are used, which have high work efficiency, fast operation speed, save manpower, and are safer.

Sheng Xiping held a meeting with several key members and divided the sixty or so members of the educated youth team into several groups.

The logging team is led by Wang Jianshe, Guo Yongping, and Yu Shuaijun with chainsaw assistants who specialize in felling trees.

After that, Zhang Zhijun and Pan Fusheng led a group of people to set up a special group called Yazi, to beat branches with axes.

Followed by the lumber making group, use a curved handle saw to make lumber, try to make long lumber, not short lumber.

After lumber making, it was skidding. Chen Weiguo and Sheng Xiping took turns driving the tractors and the sledges at the large alkali field.

Cattle and horses cover materials, and people walk on the left side of the cattle and horses, which is safe and can assist the cattle and horses to sit on the slope.

After the sledge stopped at the mountain field, the timber-making team rolled the bulk of the wood (long timber) that needed to be skidded onto the sledge and fixed it.

Then the set households go to the market and go down the mountain to the Lengchang to unload, and then the people of the Guileng group will return to the Leng.

Logging by tractor is to lock the logs on the index frame with a lock belt and drag them on the ground.

This method can drag a lot of logs at one time, and the logs form a fan-like shape on the ground, so it is also called the fan-face skidding method.

However, this method will cause great damage to seedlings, saplings and reserved trees in the operation area, so it is more suitable for clear cutting.

As for the skidding in the operation area where both harvesting and cultivation are considered, it is required that the tractor is not allowed to leave the skidding road, and must be pulled out individually when stranding, and then twisted together on the carrying board and transported to the loading yard after the full load is gathered.

The chainsaw and tractor drivers of the educated youth team are all newcomers who have just received training and certification this year.

At the beginning, the factory was worried, so the production manager and security personnel were specially arranged to watch the scene.

Although Sheng Xiping is a novice, his work is no worse than that of a veteran.

Young people have plenty of strength, and they work not only steadily but also quickly.

The production manager followed for four or five days and found that the educated youth team worked very fast and with high efficiency, so he immediately arranged for people from other work teams to come and learn.

Among several work teams in the forest farm, the operating procedures and methods of the educated youth team were promoted.

Working on the mountain is boring. The only time to relax and relax is that after dinner every night, the big guys gather in the cafeteria and talk nonsense about the mountains.

In a blink of an eye, the work team has been working on the mountain for almost two months, and there have been several snowfalls on the mountain, and the temperature is getting lower and lower.

In the mountains and forests at minus [-] to [-] degrees, forestry workers wore big padded jackets and trousers, leather hats, felt socks and big padded shoes on their feet.

Braving the wind and snow, chanting loud and clear chants to open the mountain, felling big trees, and then transporting them out of the mountain to various places to support national construction.

The workers worked desperately on the mountain, and the family members of the employees hung their hearts at home, hoping that their husbands and children would go down the mountain safely every day.

"Mom, the final exam is over, the students are on vacation today, and we may have to wait another seven or eight days.

Didn't you say you want to wrap the sticky fire spoon?Quickly soak the rice, it happened to be soaked for a few days and pushed the grinder, I guess I am also on vacation.

Yunfang and Yunfei and I worked together, and my mother and I finished the package in one day. "

On the afternoon of December 25th, the end of primary school exams, Zhou Qinglan with a big belly, one hand on her waist, pushed the door into the room, and said to Zhang Shuzhen.

Before Liu Yujiang sent a lot of sticky corn balls, sticky sorghum and so on to the Sheng family, Zhang Shuzhen said to keep the sticky fire spoon to eat.

This sticky fire spoon is made of various viscous grains, such as rhubarb rice, sticky corn, sticky sorghum, sticky millet, etc., soaked in water for three to five days, and then sent to the mill for water milling.

Push it back and put the sticky noodles into the noodle pocket to control the water. After the water is controlled to a certain extent, pour the sticky noodles out and put them in a basin, and knead them hard until they are elastic, soft and non-sticky.

Then use a small ball of sticky noodles, wrap it with small bean stuffing boiled with saccharin, and press it flat.

Put the griddle in the pot, heat the pot dry, and when the griddle is hot, put the sticky fire spoon on the griddle and cook until cooked.

This work is very tedious and cannot be done by one person.

The school didn't have a holiday before, and Zhou Qinglan and Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei didn't have time, so Zhang Shuzhen kept talking about it and never made rice, just thinking about waiting until the school holidays.

The school finally finished the exam today, and Zhou Qinglan hurriedly mentioned it to her mother-in-law as soon as she entered the door.

"It's just right, before I'm born, quickly wrap the sticky fire spoon out.

Otherwise, after I have a baby, I have to wait on my confinement and wrap the fire spoon, so I will be too busy. "

Zhou Qinglan untied her scarf while talking, the weather was so cold at the end of December, she had to cover herself tightly when going out.

"Soak it, I soaked the rice yesterday."

As soon as Zhang Shuzhen saw her daughter-in-law coming in, she quickly took a clean towel and went up to wipe the snow off her body.

It was snowing again outside, and the snow was quite heavy. On the way from school to home, a thin layer of snow fell on Zhou Qinglan's head and shoulders.

"How are you feeling today? Does your stomach hurt? Do you feel tightness in your stomach?"

There are only ten days left before the due date, and Zhang Shuzhen has been asking every day recently, fearing that her daughter-in-law is inexperienced with her first child, and if something goes wrong, it will be terrible.

"Mom, I'm fine. I'm fine everywhere, and I don't feel a stomachache. I'm just a little tired anyway, it's nothing."

Zhou Qinglan shook her head with a smile. She is really good looking. Apart from being tortured in the early stages of pregnancy and vomiting frequently, this child has no other problems.

Since her pregnancy, Zhou Qinglan has never asked for leave because of physical discomfort.

Of course, most people in this day and age are skinny, many women go to work in the fields when they are pregnant, and some people directly give birth to their children on the fields.

Compared with working in the fields, being a teacher is relatively easy for Zhou Qinglan.

After all, it's not like standing up and giving lectures all day. With her body shape, no one said anything even if she was sitting.

"It's fine, it's fine, as long as you and the child are safe and sound."

Hearing that her daughter-in-law said she was fine, Zhang Shuzhen at least let go of her hanging heart.

The son works on the mountain, and the daughter-in-law is pregnant and has a big belly, and she goes to school to teach the child in the wind and snow.

Those brats are all skinny, if the daughter-in-law has a bump or something, Zhang Shuzhen didn't take good care of the daughter-in-law, how can she explain to her son?

"Sit down and rest, let me tell you, since you have finished the exam, you might as well ask for leave and go home.

Now it's cold and slippery outside, I'm worried when you go to school every day.

It's only been a few days, you can ask for leave when you should, and the school can't say anything.

If you really want to say something, I will go to your principal. "Zhang Shuzhen helped her daughter-in-law sit on the edge of the kang, muttering.

"After these two days, I have finished grading the children's papers, and the grades will be posted.

Waiting for the children to return to school to hear their grades, I asked the school for leave and went home to rest. "

Zhou Qinglan knew that her mother-in-law was doing it for her own good, so she didn't object.She has this body shape, and she is really tired at school every day.

Zhou Qinglan was physically inconvenient, so the children returned to class after the exam. She said it was time to return to school to listen to the results and collect homework, and then went home.

The students, led by Sheng Xitai, cleaned the classroom, dismantled the stove tube and returned it to the warehouse. After everything was packed, they locked the door and went home.

Sheng Xitai and Chen Feng went home first, and Sheng Yunfang, Sheng Yunfei, and Sheng Xikang also entered the house one after another.

The dinner was ready, the two girls hurried to clean it up.

The big guys here were just about to sit down to eat when Hua Hua, who had been sleeping on her stomach in the outer room for a whole day, woke up and groaned to open the door.

The current Huahua can no longer be called a little guy. Huahua, who is six or seven months old, can already catch up with the size of Erlangshen.

That big head and big paws, thanks to being raised by my family, if I saw such a guy in the wild, I would be scared to pee my pants.

After Sheng Xiping went up the mountain, Liu Yujiang and his brothers took the dogs away.

The brothers of the Liu family took their dogs up the mountain when they had nothing to do in winter, hunted prey or something, and sent some to the Sheng family.

Sheng Xiping was not at home, no one took Huahua out to hunt, this guy went out by himself.

Huahua didn't go too far, and hunted within a range of no more than fifty miles around the forest farm.

At the beginning, you can catch small animals such as badgers, raccoons, and hares.

In recent days, Huahua has been able to catch roe deer, half-grown deer, small yellow-haired children and so on.

Although it is not yet fully grown, it is able to return home with a prey that is about the same size as it. This is the ability of the king of beasts.

Generally speaking, tigers stop hunting for two or three days after eating a full meal.

But tigers in the wild will patrol their own territory, so they seldom return to their dens to lie on their stomachs.

Huahua is similar, it goes out almost every night, no matter whether it catches the prey or not, it will wander around in a big circle, and this guy will not come back until dawn.

So as soon as there was any movement in the outhouse, the Sheng family knew that Huahua was going out to hunt again.

"Lao Liu, go open the door and let Hua Hua go out."

In fact, the door of the house was not plugged in, with Huahua's ability, she could throw it open with a flick of strength.

But this guy doesn't do it. Every time he goes out, he has to make some noise, and someone has to open the door for him.

Sheng Xitai hurriedly put on his shoes and went to the field to open the door for Huahua.

"Huahua, be careful when you go out, don't mess with wolves, jackals, etc., and don't go too far."

Sheng Xitai opened the door while talking.

Huahua grunted at Sheng Xitai, rubbed her head against Sheng Xitai, and then stepped out of the room, and jumped out from the garden stick.

Sheng Xitai hurried out from the gate, staring at Huahua's shadow.

Seeing that this guy went out a long way after a few ups and downs, his shadow disappeared in an instant, and there was nothing abnormal around him, so I was relieved.

Before going up the mountain, his elder brother told him that as long as Hua Hua goes out, he must see someone, lest someone will look at Hua Hua with jealousy and secretly ambush and harm the little tiger.

Sheng Xitai stood outside for a while, but he didn't hear anything unusual, so he was relieved and turned back to eat.

The elementary school exams are over, and the middle school ones haven't yet. After dinner, Zhou Qinglan watched Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei review their homework.

It wasn't until the power outage in the forest farm that everyone went back to sleep.

Zhou Qinglan's stomach is already very big, and the due date is approaching, and she may give birth at any time.

So Zhang Shuzhen went to Westinghouse to accompany her daughter-in-law at night, and she could get up to help whenever there was any movement.

The law and order of the forest farm is good, although the men from all families are working on the mountain, but the people from the security department will patrol and check the post at fixed times, so it is quite quiet at night.

The big dogs of the Sheng family were not at home, and Zhaocai and Wangfu were half grown, so they could take care of the house.

Nothing happened at night, everyone slept until around five o'clock in the morning, when they heard something knocking on the door, needless to say, Huahua must have returned.

Zhang Shuzhen hurriedly put on cotton trousers and a cotton jacket, and carefully came out of the west room, went to the outer room and lifted the broken curtain hanging on the door, then pulled the latch on the door, and pushed the door open.

"Oh my god, Huahua, you caught a pig and came back?"

The nights before and after the winter solstice are very long, and the sky is just getting bright outside around five o'clock in the morning.

Against the background of the white snow, Zhang Shuzhen vaguely saw a black thing on the ground, which looked bigger than Huahua.

Looking down carefully, it was a pig, a wild boar weighing about [-] catties.

When Huahua saw Zhang Shuzhen, she stepped forward and rubbed her big head against Zhang Shuzhen's leg, making snoring noises while rubbing.

Zhang Shuzhen raised her hand to touch Huahua's stomach, and when she saw that it was bulging, she was full.

So Zhang Shuzhen rubbed Huahua's head lovingly, stepped aside to let Huahua enter the house, and then bent down to drag the pig outside into the house.

After Huahua entered the house, she lay down in her nest and fell asleep. Zhang Shuzhen simply stopped sleeping when she checked the time. She got dressed, went out to fetch firewood and came back to cook.

Breakfast is simple, cook small porridge in one pot, add water to the other pot, put the pot curtain, put dry food and leftovers from last night, and chop some pickles, and you can handle the meal.

After the ballast porridge is boiled, put some flour alkali, stir it with a spoon, and then stagger the lid of the pot to leave a gap.

After that, Zhang Shuzhen freed her hands and started to clean up the pig on the ground.

In normal life, Sheng Xiping cleans up by himself, Zhang Shuzhen is not needed.

Now the three laborers in the family are all on the mountain, and Sheng Xikang is still sleeping in the house, so Zhang Shuzhen can only do it herself.

There was a blood hole in the yellow-haired boy's throat, and it was obvious at a glance that it was bitten by Hua Hua's teeth.

The belly of the wild boar has been ripped open, all the internal organs are gone, and the meat under the belly has been torn up a lot.

Zhang Shuzhen took a knife and cut off the bites of Huahua and put it aside, saving it for Zhaocai and Wangfu to eat.

The rest were directly skinned, bones removed, chopped into pieces and taken out to freeze.

These have to be kept. If Huahua goes out one day and doesn't get any harvest and is hungry, she can bring it back and melt it to feed it.

In fact, since Sheng Xiping left, Huahua went out to hunt two or three times without fruit, and came back to surround Zhang Shuzhen to eat.

The rest of the time, even if this guy doesn't bring it back, he can still get rounded.

Zhang Shuzhen planned to keep the pig's trotters and pig's head. When Zhou Qinglan gave birth to her baby and confinement, she packed them up and made them for her to eat, so they also took them to the warehouse to freeze.

After tidying up these, I just called the children to get up, and after washing, clean up and eat.

After breakfast, Sheng Xikang, Sheng Yunfang, and Sheng Yunfei hadn't had their holiday yet, so they had to go on to school.

As for Zhou Qinglan, she still has to go to school to approve the papers and record the grades for the students.

So Zhang Shuzhen told the two girls to help Zhou Qinglan on the way, and don't slip or fall or anything.

"Don't be in a hurry to come back after grading the papers. At noon, the fourth and fifth children will pick you up after school, and you will come back together."

Before going out, Zhang Shuzhen also told Zhou Qinglan to be careful.

Zhou Qinglan responded to the three at the same time, and then left.Only Zhang Shuzhen, Sheng Xitai, and Chen were left in the family.

"You're not allowed to go out and play wild today. I'll leave it at home to help me pick out the beans. Later, I'll make stuffing. Let's eat it with a sticky fire spoon."

Upon hearing that there was something delicious, Sheng Xitai immediately widened his eyes and nodded repeatedly. "Mom, let's not go out and stay at home to work."

　Recently, there have been either floods or earthquakes in various places. Everyone pay attention to safety.
