Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 46

The family team of the forest farm did not raise large animals, and Houdadi, Xidadi and other places together, more than 300 mu, all point to manual plowing.

Thanks to the large number of people in the family team, Lao Hu led the group of women in the family team, as well as the educated youth Sheng Xiping, and they were digging the ground against the sun with their pickaxes, sweating profusely.

During the day I work in Houdadi, and at night the construction of the club continues, and everyone has to participate in voluntary labor.

All of them were very tired, really catching up with the old saying, dragging the cat's tail to the kang.

After more than ten days like this, at least the land has been turned over, ridges are prepared, and then radishes and cabbages are planted.

At the same time, the main body of the club is almost completed, and there is no need for everyone to volunteer for the follow-up work.

The work of the family team has come to an end for the time being, and the second round of raising the young forest has not yet started.

There is such a little gap in the middle that you can rest for a few days.

Seeing that Gastrodia elata is about to be out of season, everyone can't sit still.

Taking advantage of the rare free time, they all went into the mountains to dig Gastrodia elata and do mountain work.

Sheng Xiping never left behind others, so in the morning, he took the commuter bus with Chen Weiguo and others to Shiye District, got off the bus, and went into the forest to look for Gastrodia elata.

Come out in the afternoon with your pockets on your back, sit on the commuter bus if you can catch it, and walk back along the railway line if you don’t.

Nowadays, the traffic is not so convenient at this time. Unlike later generations, when it is the gastrodia elata digging season, there are cars on both sides of the road.

There are few people entering the mountain, and Gastrodia elata is also thick. As long as you are lucky, the harvest will not be bad.

When Sheng Xiping was at his most, he could dig dozens of catties of fresh gastrodia elata a day.

Go back at night and wash it clean, boil it and dry it the next day, and it will weigh about three or four catties after it dries.

Buying stations buy gastrodia elata, the first-class product costs 11 yuan a catty, and most of them are Mengsheng and Dazaizi.

Gastrodia elata skin, that is, the price of Gastrodia elata after emergence is low, only two or three yuan per catty.

The price is not low at all. For someone like Sheng Xiping, he can earn about 30 to [-] yuan a day.

It is said that people rely on the mountains to eat mountains and rely on water to drink water. People who live in the mountains will go to the mountains when they have the opportunity.

No matter how much it is, at least it can make up for the family.

That evening, Sheng Xiping and Chen Weiguo walked back along the east-west main road wearing water boots and carrying heavy bags.

Before he got to his house, he heard a noise, which seemed to come from Sheng's house.

When Sheng Xiping heard something wrong, he ran home.

When I entered the door, I found that the three younger brothers and two younger sisters in the family were all standing in front of the kang, their heads drooping.

The mother was holding a feather duster in her hand, blushing and angry at the children with a thick neck.

On the other side, my father also had a gloomy face, sitting on the edge of the Kang and smoking a cigarette.

Sheng Liancheng doesn't have much of a smoking habit, and he rarely smokes at home. Usually, he only smokes a cigarette when he has a visitor or goes into the mountains.

"What's the matter? Dad, Mom, what's wrong with them?"

Sheng Xiping saw that all five brothers and sisters were punished, which seemed to be a big deal.

"Ask them, all of them are going to make a mess, even going to a small repair shop to steal iron.

Your father works there, they went to steal iron and the factory people caught them, where is your father's face? "

Zhang Shuzhen was so angry that she smacked the second and third children several times with the feather duster in her hand.

Sheng Xiping was stunned when he heard that, stealing iron?What's the use of stealing that thing?No one collects scrap iron now.

Oh no, he remembered what was going on.

The forestry school has held various activities in the past few years, such as picking up manure in winter, picking up scrap iron in summer, and so on.

Due to the large amount of work in the forest farm, the utilization rate of mechanical equipment exceeds the limit, and a lot of waste mechanical parts are produced.

There are a lot of scrap iron left in the mud, water, and roadsides.

There are no buyers and sellers of scrap iron these days, and the workers in the factory are usually busy, and no one cares about them.

So the school mobilized students to use the vacation time to pick up scrap iron.

The scrap iron picked up from various places was handed over to the school for centralized storage, and then agreed to be handed over to the forest farm for disposal.

Picking up scrap iron and handing it over to the public is highly advocated. Whoever picks up a lot will be praised and have a bright face.

So the students were very active, their eyes were like light bulbs, and they quickly picked up scrap iron when they found it.

This thing is also strange, when you don't usually call, you feel that scrap iron can be seen everywhere.

Not to mention other places, there are quite a lot of scrap iron left in the field.

But once the task was fulfilled, those scrap irons that could be picked up seemed to disappear overnight.

Only in the east corner of the school playground, the pile of scrap iron gradually increased like a magic trick.

"I picked up scrap iron last summer, and this year the school assigned tasks and specified the quantity.

From the third grade up, everyone has to hand in no less than forty catties of scrap iron.

Except for the sixth child in our family, we all have to pay. Where can we find so much?

In the past few days, the third child and I ran to the nearby work cutting area to pick them up, but that was not enough.

Then we don't think of another way, what should we do? "

Sheng Xi'an, who had been gritting his teeth and didn't make a sound after being beaten, finally couldn't hold back after seeing his eldest brother, and said aggrievedly.

"We didn't go to the small repair shop to steal, but to pick up those old parts.

Quite a few of them even went to the oven and internal combustion engine room to disassemble the parts directly.

Some people even ran to the small railway to remove the spikes on the roadbed. "The second brother spoke, and Sheng Xikang also spoke.

Zhang Shuzhen's feather duster, which was raised high, couldn't fall down this time.

Just when Sheng Liancheng came home from get off work, he told Zhang Shuzhen with a sullen face that the children went to the small repair factory to steal iron, but were caught and released by the people in the factory.

Sheng Liancheng is the director of a small repair factory, but the children of the Sheng family went to steal the iron and were caught. If it gets out, the impact will be too bad.

Zhang Shuzhen was so angry that without saying a word, she called the children to her and beat her up.

However, the children of the Sheng family were also stubborn, they just stood there without saying a word after being beaten.

Anyone who has beaten a child has this experience. If the child runs away as soon as he is beaten, most of them will not suffer a big loss.

When he came back after running away, most of the adults calmed down, and at most they just gave a few more words of training.

Those who beg for mercy as soon as they are beaten are less likely to be beaten.

The only thing is this kind of person, who doesn't make a sound no matter how hard he hits, and just stands there motionless, it can really kill people's anger, and the hands are even more insignificant.

The members of the Sheng family, regardless of the daughters and boys, are all about the same, stubborn and stubborn.

The sixth child was about to say something, but was glared at by the second child, so he didn't dare to say anything.

So all five children were beaten, and none of them escaped.

Of course, the second child and the third child suffered the most, and the remaining three were just a few symbolic visits.

"Then why didn't you tell me? If you told me just now, would I beat you like this?" Zhang Shuzhen regretted it now.

"Mom, you didn't let us talk about it, you just took a feather duster when you came up."

Sheng Yunfang touched her arm, the clothes she wore in summer were thin, and she turned red when she was hit just now.
