Chapter 301 The Liu Brothers

After the heavy snow, the temperature dropped sharply, and people put on winter clothes.

The happiest people were the children. This group of kids went to school to clear the snow with all kinds of tools. They had snowball fights while clearing the snow, and finally built several snowmen with snow.

The first snow came with the rain, and it was relatively sticky, which was perfect for making a snowman.

When it snows again in the twelfth month of winter, it will be pure powder snow, which is very dry and loose, making it more difficult to build a snowman.

After a heavy snowfall, the school became a paradise for children, with children’s laughter and screams everywhere.

None of these naughty children were wearing hats or gloves, and their red little faces didn’t know whether they were cold or hot. Anyway, they all had smiles on their faces.

Seeing them like this, the teachers were also very happy.

After lunch, a loudspeaker shouted to all forest farm cadres, including the captains of the three production teams and the educated youth team, to attend a meeting at the forest farm.

Everyone discussed at the meeting that this year’s winter mining and transportation tasks will officially begin on November 1st.

“Affected by the weather this year, winter harvesting is nearly a week later than in previous years.

At the same time, in order to support the construction of brother provinces in the south, our bureau needs to increase the area of ​​tree logging, so our logging tasks this year have nearly doubled compared to last year. "

At the meeting, Wang Jiachuan analyzed the mining and transportation situation this winter for everyone.

"Comrades, our winter sports tasks this year can be said to be tight on time and heavy on tasks, and the difficulties are not small.

However, no matter how great the difficulty is, it cannot be a problem for our forestry people or our Qianchuan Forestry Farm.

I hope that this year we can continue to exert our pioneering spirit, overcome difficulties, rise to the occasion, focus on production, compete for output, and strive to win four consecutive championships. "

This is a must-have item before harvesting every winter to boost morale and increase employee motivation.

Wang Jiachuan's words were sonorous and his expression was exciting, which made all the participants cheer up.

“Of course, there is good news.

Since our forest farm has been an advanced production unit in the world for three consecutive years, the bureau specially approved a set of production equipment for us this year, including tractors, winches, chain saws, etc.

Comrades, this is the importance that the bureau leaders attach to our forest farm, and they hope that we can be faster and better this year and exceed the production tasks.

We can't live up to the hard work of the leaders of the bureau. "Wang Jiachuan said this and looked at everyone attending the meeting.

"Secretary, don't worry. We are all united in our efforts to increase production and promote production. We will definitely be able to exceed the tasks assigned by our superiors."

Everyone was also very excited and expressed their stance in unison.

"Okay, as long as everyone has this childlike heart, we will definitely be able to hit new highs this year."

Wang Jiachuan was particularly happy and looked a little excited.

“Now, let’s arrange the specific task allocation for this year’s winter transportation production.

In principle, our forest farm’s original three work teams remain unchanged, and together with the educated youth team, there will be a total of four production teams this year.

Of the five tractors, one is left as a motorized spare, and the other four are just enough for each work team to have one. "

When Wang Jiachuan said this, he looked at Sheng Xiping.

"Xiping, your educated youth team has established a separate work team. This is a good thing, but the pressure on the field is also great.

The educated youth team is composed of young and strong young men. This is your advantage, but you are too young and inexperienced.

Although you are all forestry students and have been exposed to it since you were young, catching wood is like catching a tiger, so you can't be careless at all. "

"Today, I have to ask these key members of your educated youth team to express their stance and make a guarantee for me.

This year's winter production operation has allocated machinery to you. I ask you to strictly follow the planning and design drawings for construction.

On the basis of ensuring the safety of the team members, this year's logging tasks were completed with quality and quantity. Can it be completed? "

Forest farm leaders also had heated discussions about how to use the newly allocated machinery from the bureau.

Some people say that the three work teams draw lots, and whichever team wins the prize will take the lead in this year’s winter sports production.

But Wang Jiachuan believed that this arrangement was unreasonable. He felt that young people should be given a chance.

These children in the educated youth team are all quite capable, so it would be more reasonable to give them mechanical arrangements.

With Wang Jiachuan's support, the educated youth team was given the opportunity to mechanize operations, so Wang Jiachuan asked Sheng Xiping and others to guarantee it.

In this year's winter sports production, the educated youth team cannot be left behind by the other three work teams.

"Secretary Wang, don't worry, I represent all the educated youth in our educated youth team to express my position to the leaders on the field.

This winter, our educated youth team will definitely live up to the love and trust of the factory leaders, and strive to exceed the target in safe production, civilized production, quality and quantity. "

Sheng Xiping immediately stood up and expressed his assurance to the leaders in the field.

"Well, young people must have this kind of drive.

Come on, boys, the future of the forest farm is in your hands.

We old guys are getting older, and gradually we can no longer work. The construction of the motherland requires the efforts of you young people. "

Wang Jiachuan liked Sheng Xiping's attitude very much. He didn't lose his temper and didn't embarrass him. It was worth his efforts to cultivate these young men and give them opportunities at every turn.

After the meeting, the loudspeaker of the forest farm began to announce that on November 1st, the winter mining and transportation work of the Qianchuan Forest Farm will officially begin.

Upon hearing this, every family immediately took action and quickly packed clothes and luggage for their men and sons.

Zhang Shuzhen became busy as soon as she heard what the loudspeaker shouted.

Sheng Xi'an is also in the educated youth team this year, and he wants to go up the mountain with him. The three fathers of the family are all working in the mountain, so why not hurry up?

Zhang Shuzhen was busy when she heard the dogs barking outside.

Hunting dogs are smart and don't bother people. Dogs will have different ways of dealing with people coming into the house.

When a stranger comes in, the dog will bark at the top of his lungs. If he is familiar with the dog, the barking will be different.

If the dog is particularly familiar with the dog, such as Chen Weiguo, Wang Jianshe and others, most of the dogs will bark.

Several big dogs were barking outside, and the tiger cub Huahua and the two puppies Zhaocai and Wangfu also heard the noise.

The names of the two puppies were given by Chen Feng and Sheng Xitai after discussion.

The two pups are Erlangshen's offspring, and they also look like Erlangshen. Everyone originally said that starting from the leopard, they can be called Hualong, Hualang and so on.

But both Sheng Xitai and Chen Feng thought it was too vulgar, so they had to name them Lucky and Wangfu.

When the Sheng family heard this, they realized that although these two names were not as powerful as the names of hunting dogs, they had good meanings, so they simply relied on the two younger ones.

In this way, the two puppies have different names.

When Zhaocai and Wangfu heard the noise, they stood up from their nests and barked outside.

It's just that the dog is still young, and the sound is so milky that it has no deterrent effect at all.

As for Huahua, he is not a dog who looks after the house and the yard, so he doesn't care about this.

Lying in the flower basket, he continued to close his eyes and swayed his big tail.

The dogs outside were chirping and a little eager. Zhang Shuzhen knew as soon as she heard that they were acquaintances.

So I put on my shoes and went out to take a look. As soon as I opened the door, I saw brothers Liu Yujiang and Liu Yuhe.

"Hey, why are you two brothers here? Are you not busy today? Come in quickly, it's cold outside." Zhang Shuzhen greeted the Liu brothers to come in very enthusiastically.

"Isn't it falling snow? If you have nothing to do, just come over and sit down and chat with my uncle and Xiping for a while.

how? Not even at home? "The Liu brothers walked into the house with a smile and put the things they were carrying on the ground.

"Auntie, these are the soybeans, adzuki beans, sticky corns, sticky sorghum, and large yellow rice that we made at home.

Auntie has time to pack some sticky fire spoons for the younger brothers and sisters at home. "

Forest farm workers have wages and benefits, and are better than the agricultural team in every aspect.

But there is one thing that is incomparable to the farmers in the farmyard, and that is the food boss.

Like the commune members of the Great Alkali Farm, in addition to earning work points by cultivating the brigade's land and sharing grain in the fall, each household has its own plot of land and can also pick up small pieces of uncultivated land.

Corn, beans and sorghum are grown in large fields, while corn, millet, sorghum, adzuki beans, peas and other miscellaneous cereals and beans are grown on private plots and small areas of wasteland.

No matter what, the hard-working and simple farmer's wife can prepare all kinds of food and enrich the dining table.

For example, sticky mouse buns in the summer, fire spoon buns in the winter, steamed sticky bean buns, etc. You can make them in different ways, and everyone in the family loves to eat them.

In comparison, the dining table at the forest farm is relatively monotonous.

There is no way, the forest farm does not allow individuals to farm, and each family only has a small vegetable garden, which is not enough to eat vegetables. You have to buy winter vegetables from the agricultural team. Where can you grow various grains and beans?

"Oh, look, you can just come, why do you bring so many things?"

Zhang Shuzhen took a look and realized that these two brothers were too down-to-earth. They had a lot of stuff in the two dough bags.

"Auntie, things are going well this year, and the food in the fields is growing well.

My family's private land and small plots are deserted, and we harvest a lot of grain. Just feel free to eat. If it’s not enough, I’ll get it for you later. "

Liu Yujiang explained with a smile. The two families get along well, just like their own family, so there is no need to worry so much.

"Huh? Where are my uncle and Xiping? Are they still working in this snowy day?"

Liu Yujiang glanced into the room and didn't see Sheng Liancheng and Sheng Xiping, so he asked casually.

"Oh, I was called to a meeting just now.

Isn’t it going to be winter production soon? I'm having a meeting to arrange this year's production tasks. I'll be back soon. You two sit in the room first. "

Zhang Shuzhen glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost two o'clock when the Sheng family was called to a meeting.

The loudspeaker of the forest farm was still shouting just now, so I guess it’s almost time to come back.

As soon as Zhang Shuzhen finished speaking, the dogs outside began to chirp again.

The movement this time was more enthusiastic than when the Liu brothers came in just now. You didn't need to guess to know that this must be the return of the Sheng family.

"Hurry up, you two. Brothers Yujiang and Yuhe are here, and they have brought two bags of sticky corn, sticky sorghum, and adzuki beans to our family."

Zhang Shuzhen turned around quickly, opened the door and asked Sheng Liancheng and his son to come in quickly and stop playing with the dog there.

"My eldest brother and the others are here?" Sheng Xiping was stunned for a moment, no longer caring about coaxing the dog, and hurriedly stepped into the house.

"Hey, eldest brother and second brother, you two haven't seen each other this autumn. Are you busy with your work?"

As the old saying goes, three springs are not as busy as one autumn.

The soda farm not only cultivates land, but also grows sticks. In autumn, they are busy at both ends. They have to harvest crops and participate in making goods and planting sticks. They are much busier than ordinary agricultural teams.

Liu Yujiang is now the secretary of the alkali field brigade, and Liu Yuhe is the security team leader and militia platoon leader. The two brothers have been very busy this autumn.

Sheng Xiping wasn't idle either. It's been a long time since the three brothers had seen each other.

"Well, once the snow falls, there won't be so much work. The next step is to pick up some wood for the ginseng field, cut strips to make curtains and so on. There is no rush for these tasks, they can be done in the spring.

Isn’t it a long time since I came over to see my uncle and aunt? It's snowing just now and there's not much to do, so I come over and sit. "

Liu Yujiang stood up with a smile, greeted Sheng Liancheng, and then everyone sat down together.

The Sheng family hadn't seen the Liu brothers for some time, so they felt very close to each other when they met, so they sat down and chatted.

"My mother, hurry up and prepare some delicious food. Let the brothers Yujiang and Yuhe stay at home to eat in the evening.

It's been a long time since we men drank together, so we had to drink two glasses of wine to talk about anything in the evening. "

Sheng Liancheng was very happy to see the Liu brothers and had to stay at home to eat.

The two families got along well, no one was pretending, Sheng Liancheng sincerely wanted to stay, and Liu Yujiang and the others did not make excuses.

"Just in time, I have something else I want to discuss with my uncle and Xiping." Liu Yujiang said with a smile.

"Brother, if you have any questions, just say it. As long as we can do anything, we won't hesitate."

As soon as Sheng Xiping heard Liu Yujiang's words, he knew that Liu Yujiang had something important and said quickly.

"We are not outsiders, and we don't have to beat around the bush."

Liu Yujiang laughed when he heard this, "It's not my personal matter, it's something in the brigade that I want to discuss with your forestry farm."

If it were a matter involving the Liu family, there would be no need to go to such trouble. Liu Yujiang opened his mouth and Sheng Xiping took care of it.

"That's the thing. As you know, the agricultural team has nothing to do in the winter. It's all winter.

You said we have a long winter here, and we wish we could have half a year off.

People are just that, they go into the mountains to collect firewood and so on, but these animals do nothing all winter, they just eat grass. "

“This is what I’m thinking about, does your forest farm use cattle, horses and other livestock for logging production in winter?

If we can use it, I will rent our team's livestock to a forestry farm, and I can earn some money during the winter. "

Liu Yujiang is now the brigade secretary, and he has more things on his mind than before. He wants to make some money for the brigade.

There are a total of twelve oxen and nine horses in the large alkali farm. They are all large animals in their prime and working well. It is really a waste to just sit idle and eat fodder this winter.

A few years ago, Shuguang Forestry Farm and Qianchuan Forestry Farm were just established. When they had few machines that were all manually operated, they also rented oxen and horse sledges from the production team.

Later, mechanization was gradually realized, so renting became less common.

Liu Yujiang heard from Sheng Xiping that the educated youth team last year worked by manually lifting large logs and placing ice trucks.

Although the ox-horse harness is not as fast as tractor pulling, it is still better than manual lifting of wood.

That's why Liu Yujiang came here to ask Sheng Xiping and the others whether the forest farm uses cattle and horse harnesses?

"Hey, my dear brother, why didn't you tell me earlier?

At today's meeting, Secretary Wang of the forest farm also said that the production tasks of our forest farm this year have nearly doubled compared to last year.

It snowed late this year, and we started working later than in previous years. Time is tight and tasks are heavy, and we are all worried about how to complete the tasks. "

After hearing this, Sheng Xiping clapped his thigh happily.

The tasks assigned by the superiors this year are very heavy. Although everyone shouted slogans very loudly during the meeting, they were actually worried.

For such a heavy task, the superiors added a tractor, a winch, and several chain saws. How could this be possible?
