Chapter 44 Digging Tunnels

Everyone was busy, time passed quickly, and the sky gradually darkened.

On the illuminated stadium of the forest farm, a series of electric lights were lit up.

All the temporary lights on the construction site were turned on, illuminating the construction site as if it were daytime.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Sheng Xiping suddenly felt familiar.

"Huh? Do you think this is a bit like the scene of digging tunnels when we were studying in Songjiang River?"

At the beginning, there were no middle schools in all the forest farms. After Sheng Xiping and the others finished primary school, they all went to Songjianghe to study junior high school.

Just catching up with the tense international situation in those two years, the higher authorities ordered every household to dig air-raid shelters.

In October, the school organized teachers and students to dig trenches in the vegetable field south of No. [-] Middle School.

The location is 500 meters southeast of Yiyi, a vegetable field near Yunchai Road.

At that time, there were ditches and ponds and individual mounds.

Under the guidance of the teacher, Sheng Xiping and others chose a mound and dug with pickaxes and shovels.

As a result, people from the Armed Forces Department of the Bureau came to take a look the next day, and said that this kind of almost straight trench was not good, and it should be changed to a zigzag.

So, what has just been dug has to be filled up again.

A trench was being dug here, and news came from the other end that a well was going to be dug in the center of the school playground.

Explosives are placed below, and the ground stress test is carried out after detonation.

This glorious task happened to fall on Sheng Xiping's class, which was called platoon at that time.

No one expected that from then on, the whole school of No. [-] Middle School would dig a tunnel vigorously.

At that time, the students used sharp picks to break through the frozen layer and hard soil, and dug vertically along a diameter of nearly two or two meters.

After digging to a depth of four or five meters, dig horizontally again.

When Sheng Xiping said this, Gao Haining and the others all remembered.

"Isn't it? At that time, we were digging tunnels, which was very powerful. We even used tripods and pulleys.

Later, those day students stole all the light bulbs from their homes and put them in the tunnel to continue working. "

"Yes, yes, at that time, I remember that in order to save time, we didn't use the pulley to send it down, so we just jumped off.

Regardless of male or female students, they all just jumped down.

There is just a pile of soil underneath, which can be used as a buffer. At that time, we were brisk and didn't care.

It seems that one day, I went late, and you all jumped off.

I wanted to jump down too, but a female classmate grabbed me and insisted on letting me go down on a pulley.

Fortunately, I went down by a pulley. When I went down to take a look, there were several empty baskets on the mound, as well as shovels and picks.

If I jumped directly that day, I would probably be useless. "

Wang Jianshe also remembered a special incident at that time. "I don't know where the female classmate is now?"

"What's wrong? You're still thinking about him, and you're planning to give him your life for saving your life?"

Next to them, Chen Weiguo and Sheng Xiping made fun of Wang Jianshe.

"You are nothing, the most fun is Fengying, right?

She jumped down once and sat on the mound without moving. We were so anxious that we kept shouting on it.

We later found out that when she jumped down that day, she used too much force and broke the waistband of her trousers.

At that time, the whole school spread, and everyone laughed at her all the time. "

As expected of Huanxi's friends who grew up together, Gao Haining immediately mentioned Tang Fengying's embarrassing things back then.

"Ahem, Haining, don't mention this matter, be careful that Fengying finds out and beats you."

Sheng Xiping coughed twice to remind Gao Haining not to get carried away.

Those female educated youths are also around here, if Tang Fengying finds out, Gao Haining's good fruit will definitely not be eaten.

Gao Haining's face changed when he heard it, and he quickly glanced to the side.

Not seeing Tang Fengying's figure, he breathed a sigh of relief and chatted with everyone again.

They were all fourteen or fifteen years old at the time, and when they were young, they didn't want to study.

There are such fun things, everyone can be positive.

Except for eating and sleeping, the rest of the time is spent digging tunnels.

In the end, there are tunnels criss-crossing underground, connecting from the playground to the cafeteria, dormitory, and all classes.

Some students were curious and ran around in the tunnels, coming out of this classroom for a while, and emerging from another classroom for a while.

Later, the tunnel was still being dug and improved, and wooden boards were installed at the entrance of the cave.

Sheng Xiping vaguely remembered that the roof ridge of the one-story classroom in the south of No. [-] Middle School was dented later.

When No. [-] Middle School rebuilds the west teaching building, the construction team will be in trouble.

At that time, there were too many tunnels dug, and all of them had to be explored clearly before construction could be carried out.

Even so, the teaching building did not have much lifespan.

Before Sheng Xiping was reborn, he had heard that the teaching building on the west had subsidence and the building was tilted and cracked.

I heard people say that it was still the influence of digging tunnels back then.

While working, everyone thought back to the past, talking about those interesting things back then, and burst into laughter from time to time.

Time also flies by at any time, and before you know it, it is almost ten o'clock.

Usually, the forest farm stops power supply at nine o'clock in the evening, but this time it was delayed until ten o'clock in order to work.

The loudspeaker over there began to shout, asking everyone to deal with the work at hand, temporarily stop today, and wait for tomorrow night to continue.

Everyone had already worked for a day during the day, and at night they came to work voluntarily for three or four hours.

When I got home and lay down on the kang, I was really too tired to get up.

Now I can't take care of anything else, just lie there and sleep.

In the morning, Sheng Xiping couldn't get up either, and let the rooster crow, he turned over and continued to sleep.

I slept until six o'clock, then got up, and hurriedly went to fetch some water and came back.

"Were you exhausted last night? Or go to sleep for a while."

Zhang Shuzhen also got up to cook. This morning's meal is simple, just order some porridge and hot buns.

"The second child and the others haven't woken up yet. There is no class today, and I didn't call them. Let's sleep for a while."

"No, the family team still has to work today, and the land has to be turned up quickly, and it's time to plant radishes after a few days of drying.

Mom, bring me some lunch later.

I won't come back to eat during the lunch break. I'll take a bite out of the ground, and I'll go into the woods to dig some Gastrodia elata. "

The summer solstice is here, and the Gastrodia elata seedlings have been unearthed. This is the best time to dig Gastrodia elata.

Now at this time, there are not many ways to get the whole money. This season, Gastrodia elata is making a lot of money, and Sheng Xiping doesn't want to miss it.

"You are working in the family team, digging Gastrodia elata, and volunteering at night, so tired.

Aren't the second and third children not going to class today?I'll tell them later, let them dig Gastrodia elata. "

When Zhang Shuzhen heard this, she felt sorry for her son.

"Mom, the second child is a nerd, he turns when he enters the woods, aren't you afraid that he will get lost?

The third child is not bad, but he is still young, do you expect him to do more work? "

Sheng Xiping shook his head. Of the two younger brothers in the family, the third child has good abilities, but it's a pity that he is a little younger.

How about the second child, studying, and other things, are a bit short.

 Thank you dear friends for your rewards, add more to write down first, and pay off the debt after it is put on the shelf.
