Hello 1983

  Chapter 330 Bad Premonition

  The mountains and forests in the early morning of winter are covered with white snow, making them very peaceful.

   Hurrah-

  Liu Qingshan was breathing white air from his mouth as he walked through the forest unhurriedly.

  In fact, under the cover of white snow, there is no lack of vitality in the forest:

  Chirp, chirp, occasionally the cry of magpies came from the tree.

  The little squirrel poked its head out of the tree hole to check the movement, and then retracted sensitively, holding the big hazelnut in its little paws, enjoying the fruits of its labor.

  Other animals are not so lucky, and have to run around in order to survive, so all kinds of marks are left on the snow.

  There are snow arched by wild boars, and there are footprints left by various birds and beasts. It is not easy to survive in the winter.

  But to survive in this harsh environment, their vitality is very tenacious.

  Liu Qingshan ran like this, feeling the unique charm of nature at the same time, and finally came to the front of the wooden house.

  Li Tieniu has already got up, and is building up his strength under the guidance of the dumb grandfather.

  Besides, there is a yawning Gao Feng, who is bringing baskets out of the woodcut baskets to dry the herbs inside.

  There is a small shed next to the wooden house, and the small head of the musk deer peeped out of it, looking around curiously.

   "When you have time tomorrow, take out the stock in your sachet!"

   Liu Qingshan yelled, and the musk deer immediately retracted his little head, making Liu Qingshan want to laugh.

   "Little senior brother, you are back, just in time for us to practice." Li Tieniu rushed over and began to make gestures with Liu Qingshan.

  In the end, both of them were so tired that they lay down on the snowy ground, panting heavily. On the contrary, they were excited after watching the lively bear for a long time, slapping this one and patting that one.

  Breakfast was settled at Mukeleng. After they had eaten, Marshal Zhang just happened to lead a dozen strong men with picks and spades.

   "Qingshan, what are we digging in this freezing place?" Marshal Zhang asked bluffing with a dog fur hat on his bald head.

  In previous years, when it comes to this month, once the snow falls, it’s time for Mao Donger.

  But right now, they are basically busy, and the various labor groups of the cooperative also have a lot of work every day.

   "Dig a few big trees and plant them in the wild vegetable factory." Liu Qingshan planned to move a few beautiful pine trees to the gate of the wild vegetable factory.

  In late autumn, some small trees have been moved over, and they are basically small beauties the size of a fist.

  But for big trees, the survival rate after transplanting is very low, so I didn’t dare to do it at that time, just waiting for winter.

   "Trees are planted in spring and autumn. I have never heard of planting trees in winter." Everyone also felt fresh.

  Liu Qingshan explained to them: "What we are moving is a big tree, and it must be at this time. Trees are dormant in winter, and the water and nutrients in their bodies are not easy to lose."

  Everyone also nodded straightly. A few years ago, when winter came, they would also join the logging team organized by the forest farm to collect some pocket money, and they all understood this truth.

   When cutting trees here, the best season is winter, the trees are restrained, and the wood is the hardest.

  Liu Qingshan continued: "When we dig, we should bring more old roots and soil. When the next spring comes, the trees will wake up and they will be able to take root again."

   There is also this saying in the countryside. For transplanting, it is best to bring some soil from the original place. This is called old root soil, so as not to be unacceptable after transplanting.

   "Then let's do it. It's winter, so it's going to be a bit hard to plan." Zhang Dashuai waved his hand, and they all set off with Liu Qingshan.

   "It's hard work everyone, there's nothing we can do. Only when it's freezing now can we bring a large pile of frozen soil." Liu Qingshan led the way, and it was really not an easy task to transplant decades-old trees.

  When passing by the Immortal Cave, Liu Qingshan yelled a few times.

  The mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and the fourth and fifth children could not come to connect with the monkey group on time, so they entrusted the eldest brother to carry half a bag of corn grains to the monkey group.

  After all, it is not easy for the monkeys to find food in this severe winter.

   roared twice, but there was no movement in the fairy cave, the dumb grandfather next to him smiled and gestured twice, Liu Qingshan finally understood:

   "Moved away, where have you moved?"

   "Of course the monkey has moved to Huaguo Mountain. Let's go into the cave to see if there is any monkey wine." Marshal Zhang is also a big wine bag, so he tried to steal the wine.

  When Liu Qingshan saw him, he quickly stopped him, and then he saw Master making gestures a few more times.

  Looking at the master's gesture of taking a bath, Liu Qingshan was immediately dumbfounded:

   "Master, is it true, monkeys still like winter swimming?"

  Winter swimming is also a major feature of their place. It is exciting, but only a few people dare to try it. Don’t monkeys also love to find excitement?

  The dumb grandfather couldn't explain this question, but Liu Qingshan had some guesses, and he felt that it was necessary to confirm it in a few days.

   Talking and laughing along the way, we soon arrived at the hillside with the beautiful pine, which is not too far from the foot of the mountain.

  Most of the oak trees have been felled and turned into pieces of small saplings.

  Although the children in the village are small, it is quite remarkable that they can plant trees and form forests.

   Occasionally, there are a few big trees growing among the small saplings, as if standing out from the crowd. These are relatively precious tree species, which were specially left by Liu Qingshan at that time.

  Among them, there are dozens of beautiful pines, big and small, standing upright in the white snow, still so elegant and beautiful.

   "This tree is really beautiful!"

  Dashuai Zhang couldn't help but praise, and then asked: "Qingshan, won't you move to death?"

  Even he felt that it would be a pity if Nuo died, which shows the charm of Meirensong.

   "It's okay." Liu Qingshan chose two medium-sized beauty pine trees, both with a diameter at breast height of about 30 centimeters.

  As for the thicker ones, there is no machinery, and they are all manual, so they will definitely not be able to handle them.

  Draw a large circle of one and a half meters around the big tree, which needs to be preserved, and then everyone starts working.

  First use a shovel to clean up the snow and leaves on the surface, and then start to plan with a pick.

  The ground has been frozen solid, and the iron pick fell on it, and it was a small hole.

  Put several picks at the same position in a row to ash off a hard block of soil.

  The big iron pick had to be held high above the head, and after dozens of swings, both arms became sore. At this time, they quickly changed people, and everyone took turns to fight.

  At this time, we can see who has more strength, others have changed several times, Liu Qingshan and Li Tieniu are still easily swinging the big iron pickaxe.

  As the pit continued to deepen, it slowly touched the roots of the tree, so it was cut off directly with an axe.

   It took a full morning to dig out these two big trees.

  A big tree more than ten meters long, with a large lump of soil underneath, and the roots are also frozen in the soil. This is the key to survival in the coming spring.

  If you only have a part of the roots, without this dirt lump, you will definitely not be able to live by then.

  This morning, everyone was exhausted and hungry.

  Back to Woodcut Leng for lunch, baked oil cakes, boiled sauerkraut soup, and a piece of pork belly from a slaughtered pig a few days ago, which was served by the dumb grandpa.

   To do this kind of heavy physical work, of course you have to eat meat.

   After eating and resting for a while, I went down the mountain to go home. In winter, the days are short, and the sun will set when looking for it. Obviously, it is impossible to transport the big tree up and down today.

  The next day, the Great Liberation was also dispatched. When we drove to the foot of the mountain, everyone took several large sledges and took turns pulling them to the place where we worked yesterday.

  Tie a rope to the root of the tree and put it on a wooden pole. In a team of two, first lift the big lump of soil at the end of the tree root to the sledge.

   "Marshal, you should stand aside quickly and just give us a shout. With your height, you can only partner with you unless you call Wu Dalang."

   Seeing that Dashuai Zhang was still eager to try, Da Zhang Luo kindly reminded him, making Dashuai Zhang too angry.

  Everyone worked together to lift the tree roots to the sledges, and then put two sledges on the tree crown behind them, and slowly slipped down the hillside, finally reaching the Great Liberation.

  However, it is a bit difficult to get it into the carriage. After trying a few times, no one has that much effort.

   "Little brother, let's come!"

   Li Tieniu also became ruthless, he and Liu Qingshan lifted the part of the big tree close to the root, while the others pushed hard behind, the root of the tree was lifted high, and he was pushed onto the box.

   "Okay, good boy, have the strength!"

  Dashuai Zhang was also very envious, and wanted to raise his hand to pat Li Tieniu's shoulder, but unfortunately he couldn't reach it.

  He didn't care, and continued to say: "Tie Niu, someday I have time to go to my uncle's house for dinner. My eldest girl is eighteen this year, and the dumplings she made are delicious."

Ok?

  Everyone looked at Marshal Zhang, thinking that this old boy must have no good intentions, could it be that he fell in love with Li Tieniu?

   Just like that, the two big trees were pulled to the gate of the wild vegetable factory. Two big pits had been dug here in advance. After clearing the snow inside, the trees could be planted in.

   "Qingshan, did you really bring down the tree?" The stationmaster of the forestry station was also taken aback.

  At the beginning Liu Qingshan promised him to call him when he moved the big tree, of course he had to keep his promise.

  Everyone worked together to move the big lump of dirt into the pit, then filled it with soil, and started watering according to Liu Qingshan's request. Finally, even the soil with ice was completely frozen into a large piece.

   "Okay, this way there will be no air leakage, and when it blooms in the next year, the water will seep in, and it will be alive!"

  Looking at these two beautiful pines, Liu Qingshan felt a sense of accomplishment. He felt that the quality of the wild vegetable factory had improved a lot.

  The head of the forestry station thought about it for a while, and also felt that if it was transplanted in this way, it might really survive.

  But after thinking about it again, he began to shake his head again: "Qingshan, your method is very good, but unfortunately it is too laborious, we can't afford it, and we can't do it."

   "That is to say, you Jiapigou, strong labor force, and people's hearts are united, so you can get it down from the mountain and replace it with someone else. You can only watch it. This method cannot be promoted."

  Liu Qingshan smiled: "It's okay. In a few years, there will be a crane and an electric pick, and it will save a lot of trouble."

   "I hope so." The station master went back to work with his hands behind his back. He felt that there was little hope, so he had to wait until the year of the monkey.

  Others had lunch in the canteen of the wild vegetable factory. In December, the wild vegetable factory was basically in a state of shutdown, and it would not start until the end of the new year.

   "Is there any movement on the other side?" Liu Qingshan looked at the sign of Jiajiakang on the opposite side, and asked the guard.

   "It's probably going to be a yellow shop." The old doorman replied cheerfully, with a bit of schadenfreude.

  Liu Qingshan also smiled and flicked a cigarette to the old man. Just as he was about to enter the courtyard, he saw large and small vehicles coming along the road.

   When we got here, we turned north and drove to the gate of Jiajiakang Wild Vegetable Factory. A large group of people got out of the car, cheering.

  A bad premonition suddenly emerged from Liu Qingshan's heart.
