Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forestry farm

Wang Jiansheng and the others thought that Xiao Shitou might have had a few quarrels with his younger brother and went out to relax in a bad mood.

But after hearing Sheng Xiping's words, the faces of several people suddenly turned pale. "No, you can't?"

Although he said this, everyone was panicking in their hearts.

Xiao Shitou acted paranoid and was stimulated. I really didn't dare to say what he could do.

"If it's possible, let's go look for it first. If we really can't find it, I'll drive you to Songjiang River and Fusong to look for it.

It's not terrible for him to go out to relax, he can always be found sooner or later, but if he commits suicide, it will be difficult to handle. "

Sheng Xiping was not completely sure, so he was just trying his best.

"Let's do this. You go home first and change into the clothes you will wear when going into the mountains. Then we will gather in front of the field department and take people to look around first."

There is heavy snow in the mountains, so if you want to go into the mountains, you have to change your clothes.

Everyone nodded solemnly and went home to change clothes.

Sheng Xiping also turned back into the house and told his family about the little stone.

"What a sin! This is the New Year. If the little stone is wrong, how will the old He family live?" After hearing this, Zhang Shuzhen shook her head.

"Don't worry about that for now. Hurry up and pack some food for the two children and let them take a bite. Otherwise, why don't we go into the mountain.

There are also dogs. Is the dog food ready? Feed the dog quickly. "

Sheng Liancheng was also worried about Xiao Shitou, but he was more concerned about his children and dog.

Breakfast has been prepared. The dumplings left over from last night were fried in oil, and they also made small lump porridge.

The dog ate another pot of glutinous rice and it was cold.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shuzhen quickly filled out two bowls of porridge and picked up a large plate of fried dumplings.

Sheng Xiping and Sheng Xian both put on the equipment for hiking into the mountains, including large cotton jackets, large cotton trousers, and large-toe cotton shoes with felt socks inside.

The felt socks were high-waisted and just wrapped around the leggings.

In winter, leggings cannot be tied directly to the outside of cotton pants. They are too thick and will be stiff after being tied, making it impossible to bend the legs, so they must be tied inside.

The two brothers were properly dressed, and then they ate two plates of dumplings and drank a bowl of porridge like a storm.

It happened that the dogs had almost eaten, so the two of them walked out with guns on their backs and the dogs.

Although the leopards were all old, the dogs all became energetic when they saw their owner's attire. They shook their fur vigorously and ran out with brisk steps.

The two brothers Sheng Xiping each took two dogs. As soon as they left the front door of their house, they suddenly heard a growl behind them. When they looked back, they saw Huahua following them.

"Huahua, we are looking for someone, not hunting. Don't go out and scare others." Sheng Xiping said hurriedly.

Huahua didn't care about that and had to follow Sheng Xiping. Sheng Xiping had no choice but to lead Huahua.

The two of them, four dogs and one tiger, arrived in front of the field department. Wang Jianshe, Chen Weiguo and others were already waiting.

"Why are you all here?" Sheng Xiping was stunned for a moment and asked.

"There is strength in numbers. We are here to help." Wang Jianshe and the others heard that Sheng Xiping was going to lead a team into the mountains to find people. They were worried and they all followed.

"Okay, let's go together then." Sheng Xiping nodded and said nothing more.

Many people in the forest farm knew about the tiger in the Sheng family, and over time they got used to it. When they saw Huahua, they were frightened, but they didn't run away in fear.

In this way, a group of people led the dogs and tigers and went to He's house first. They found out Xiao Shitou's clothes and bedding where he had slept, and let the dogs smell them.

Then, everyone took the dogs around the forest farm.

When they turned to the north of the forest farm, the leopard started barking toward a narrow path.

When everyone saw that the path was heading towards the back mountain, they suddenly had a bad premonition.

At this time, Huahua jumped out without saying a word, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

"Let's go, let's follow the footprints and look for it." Sheng Xiping's heart moved and he immediately led the dog forward.

It's said to be a path, but it's actually a snowy path made by someone going to the back mountain to collect firewood.

Everyone walked along the path towards the back mountain. As they walked, the footprints in front of them became messy, and they were everywhere.

The leopard lowered his head and sniffed, then raised his head and sniffed again, then followed one of the footprints and walked towards the northwest.

Everyone followed the leopard and followed the footprints into the mountains. After walking about five or six miles, I suddenly heard a tiger roar in the distance.

"Quick, go over and take a look."

When Sheng Xiping heard the movement, he knew it was Huahua and hurriedly took the lead and ran forward. The leopard and several dogs also spread their legs and rushed forward.

Although the others were frightened by the tiger's roar, they couldn't retreat when they saw Sheng Xiping like this, so they followed Sheng Xiping and ran away.

The two Sheng Xiping brothers ran forward for two or three miles when they saw a shadow running towards them at an extremely fast speed. Needless to say, it must be Huahua.

Huahua came to Sheng Xiping, rubbed him with her head first, then bit Sheng Xiping's skirt and motioned for him to move forward.

Sheng Xinping's heart moved, and he followed Huahua and walked forward. Less than two miles further, the group of people walked forward when the leopard and fat tiger dogs started barking wildly at a big pine tree in front of them.

"There's something weird about the tree in front of you. Let's approach it slowly. Don't be anxious."

Sheng Xiping waved his hand to remind everyone to be mentally prepared, and then slowly stepped forward.

The pine tree was so thick that two people probably had to hug each other. They walked around behind the big tree and found one person huddled under the roots.

Everyone stepped forward and saw that it was the small stone.

But at this moment, he had already lost his breath, his face was purple, and there was blood-colored ice on the corners of his mouth, eyes, and ears, which was the blood that had been frozen.

The snow around Xiao Shitou's body was in a mess, and one could tell at a glance that it was caused by struggling and rolling before death.

"He must have taken rat poison." Sheng Xiping stepped forward to take a look and sighed.

In his last life, this kid blew himself up with explosives. I heard that when people saw his body in the mountains, he died in a terrible state.

The man I saw was so frightened that he went home with a high fever and talked nonsense. He stayed in the hospital for more than half a month, and he still had nightmares after he was discharged.

In this life, Xiao Shitou probably didn't get any explosives and simply took rat poison.

That's why the snow around him was so messy. It must have been because of the poisonous attack, which made him feel uncomfortable and fluttering.

Wang Jiansheng and Sun Shaoqing both shed tears and wanted to step forward, but were stopped by Sheng Xiping.

"Wait a minute, let's chop some wood first, get a stretcher or a sledge, and drag the people back.

Also, whoever has quick legs should go back and send a message first, so that Lao He's family can prepare. "

This person who died unexpectedly could not enter the village. Where to hold the funeral and how to arrange it all had to be arranged by the He family.

In this way, two people were sent back to report the news. The others cut down some trees and made a simple stretcher. Then they carefully placed the person on the stretcher, and several people took turns carrying the small stones back.

Huahua was only responsible for leading the way to find people. After finding people, she jumped up and disappeared.

There were a few leopards and fat tigers, but no one was paying attention to them at this time, and the dogs ran back along the way they came.

They say this man is deadly serious, and this is absolutely true.

Four strong men were carrying a person, but at this time it felt like it weighed more than a thousand pounds.

Fortunately, there were many people, so I changed people after walking for a while, and finally walked out of the forest.

The forest farm had already received the news. When Lao He heard that his son had committed suicide by taking poison, he almost died.

Xiao Shanzi was stunned on the spot and cried out in regret.

Zheng Xianyong, who had just returned from Songjianghe, learned the news and immediately arranged for people to build a funeral shed in the open space to the north of the village.

He also asked people to go to the sawhouse to get a pair of longevity wood and find a carpenter to seize the time to put it together.

Sheng Xiping and others carried Xiao Shitou's body out of the forest. It happened that people at the forest farm were setting up a funeral shed in the open space.

Lao He cried and stepped forward. When he saw the miserable condition of the little stone, he swayed and almost fell.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, Xiao Shitou is gone. What will happen to the funeral? You have to be the one to preside over it. No matter what, you have to hold on."

Sheng Xiping supported Lao He and comforted him warmly.

"Xiping, Jiansheng, uncle, I have to thank you. Without you, I would have gone into the mountains to look for him. In a few days, the stone bones would have been gnawed by wild beasts."

Lao He suppressed the grief in his heart and bowed deeply towards Sheng Xiping and others.

"Oh, uncle, don't be like this. We are neighbors and Shitou grew up with us. How can we not help?

It's too late to talk about anything else now. What to do about Shitou's funeral? You keep asking, and we will help organize it. "

Wang Jiansheng supported Lao He and said while wiping away tears.

He Lei was only twenty-four this year, so he died young, and he committed suicide by taking poison. This was considered a violent death.

Logically speaking, this cannot be stopped, nor can it be extinguished. It should be carried directly to the mountain and buried.

But He Lei's two sisters were both married and not in the local area. They had just called to inform them and they were on their way back.

So Lao He negotiated with everyone to suspend the funeral for one day and wait for He Lei's two sisters to come back this afternoon so that they could see his brother for the last time and the funeral would be held early tomorrow morning.

There was nothing we could do about it. There was no coffin or anything prepared, so there had to be time to prepare.

The old clothes were borrowed from an elderly person in the forest farm. Xiao Shitou's body had long been stiff and he couldn't wear them at all, so he had no choice but to cover himself.

The carpenter quickly assembled the longevity materials and simply painted a layer of base color, and that was it.

Xiao Shitou was not married yet, so he had no children, and no one paid homage to him. In the evening, Wang Jiansheng and other classmates came to keep vigil.

At eight o'clock in the morning on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, everyone in the forest farm helped carry the small stone coffin to the mountain.

At this time, the frozen soil was so hard that it was impossible to dig.

We had no choice but to clear away the snow, spread the wood on the ground and set it on fire. It burned all morning, and at least the bottom melted to a depth of nearly two feet.

Bury the coffin and cover it with a thin layer of soil, and then add more soil when the weather warms up next year.

After handling Xiao Shitou's funeral, the He family arranged meals and wanted to thank everyone who helped.

Everyone felt uncomfortable, so they took a few bites, then left and went home to rest.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Sheng Xikang rushed back from the capital. He didn't go home for the New Year last year, so he took a special leave this year to come back.

Sheng Liancheng and his wife were very happy to see their third son. Zhang Shuzhen cooked dumplings for Sheng Xikang to eat in the evening.

Because the old man of the Sheng family passed away, during the Spring Festival this year, the Sheng family did not post couplets or the characters "Fu", nor did they hang up red lanterns at night. They only hung a light bulb outside.

As for other aspects, it is the same as in previous years. You should eat and drink. During the Chinese New Year, no one wants to mention those sad things.

I don't know if it was because it was rare for the Sheng family to get together, but Huahua did not go back to the mountain for the first time, but stayed at the Sheng family to celebrate the New Year.

Sheng Xinhua and the others were so happy that they coaxed the little tiger to play and didn't bother to help make dumplings.

The three tiger cubs were playing with Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu in the outer room. Huahua jumped on the north kang of the east room and coaxed Xinyue and Xinqi.

With the big cat accompanying them, the two girls no longer made trouble making dumplings, but cuddled up next to Huahua and stayed there obediently.

Sheng Xiping took the opportunity to take out his camera again and took photos of the children and the tigers.

In particular, Huahua’s family of four took several group photos as a souvenir.

"Hey, when you took photos of Huahua and them the last few times, when you went to develop the photos, didn't the master ask you?"

While Zhou Qinglan was making dumplings, she suddenly remembered this and asked Sheng Xiping.

"Why didn't you ask? The photographer said he was shocked when he was developing the photos." Sheng Xiping heard this and replied cheerfully.

Anyone else would be shocked to see a picture of a tiger.

In particular, there are photos of tigers and people. The tigers in the photos were so well-behaved and honest that the photographer was shocked.

When Sheng Xiping went to get the photos, the photographer curiously asked Sheng Xiping about it. Sheng Xiping had no choice but to muddle through.

Sheng Xiping took about ten pictures in a row, and then he was satisfied and put the camera away.

Just as the Spring Festival Gala started to be played on TV, everyone quieted down and watched TV attentively.

The dumpling makers also sat on the kang, looked up at the TV, and made dumplings with their heads down.

Fortunately, the Sheng family made dumplings early, and the dumplings were finished not long after the party started.

So I took the dumplings out to freeze, pulled down the panels and other things, and the whole family sat on the hot kang, laughing and watching the Spring Festival Gala.

The 1984 Spring Festival Gala was later rated as the most successful Spring Festival Gala. All the programs at the party were wonderful, especially the language programs, which created many classics and were full of jokes.

Whether it was the audience in front of the stage or the audience in front of the TV, they were all laughing.

For a time, every household was laughing and laughing, festive and lively.

At around eleven o'clock, the Sheng family started cooking dumplings, and Sheng Liancheng took his children out to hand out paper.

Because of filial piety, the Sheng family will not post couplets or set off firecrackers this year, but other things will be as usual.

I thought that nothing would happen if the Sheng family didn't set off firecrackers, but when the neighbor in the west courtyard set off firecrackers, the three little tiger cubs Yuanyuan, Guoguo and Duoduo were immediately frightened.

The tiger cubs were so frightened that their hair exploded, and they jumped up with a howl.

The Sheng family was having dinner in the east room at the moment. When they heard something was wrong, they quickly came out to check. As a result, they looked in all three rooms, but they couldn't find where the three tiger cubs were.

"Huahua, hurry up. I don't know where your baby has gone. Look for her quickly." Huahua was still lying on the kang in the east room, and Sheng Xiping hurriedly called to her.

When Huahua heard Sheng Xiping calling it, she jumped down and searched everywhere in the house.

Finally, Huahua found the three tiger cubs. It turned out that they were hiding behind a row of pickle vats in the outer room.

Those tanks were placed against the wall. There was not much space behind them, and it was dark inside. No one had noticed them just now.

Sheng Xiping lay on the ground and looked behind the tank, and happened to see three pairs of green eyes.

Seeing the three tiger cubs huddled up behind the tank, Sheng Xiping couldn't hold back and started laughing.

These three little tiger cubs are also interesting. No matter how Sheng Xiping calls, no matter how Huahua calls outside, they just refuse to come out.

It wasn't until after one o'clock that there was no more sound of firecrackers outside, and then the three tiger cubs tentatively emerged from behind the tank.

There is no way, the tiger cubs are too young and have always been under the protection of Huahua. They have never experienced anything like this. It is normal to be afraid.

Looking for the tiger cub delayed everyone from eating dumplings, and also delayed the twelve o'clock countdown.

After finally finding the tiger cub, Sheng Xiping took his wife, children and younger siblings to pay New Year's greetings to his parents.

Sheng Liancheng and his wife smiled and gave red envelopes to the children. Sheng Xinhua and the others were sleepy, so they went back to their houses to rest.

I didn't fall asleep until after one o'clock. It felt like I only closed my eyes for a short time. When I opened them again, it was morning.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, most people still eat dumplings. Some are leftovers from last night and reheated directly, while others are made from a lot of dumplings made last night and frozen outside, and are cooked freshly this morning.

When dumplings are cooked on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, most people will set off another firecracker.

So when the firecrackers sounded outside again, everyone in the Sheng family was shocked and hurried to the outer room to see the tiger cubs.

Fortunately, Huahua was there this time, holding the child in her arms. At least the three tiger cubs didn't get behind the tank again like they did last night.

After breakfast, before the table was cleared, the New Year greeters arrived.

Sheng Xiping quickly asked Huahua to lead the three tiger cubs to lie down in the west room. Sheng Xian and Sheng Xikang quickly took the four old dogs to the backyard.

There are a lot of people at home today, so it’s unreasonable for the dog to keep barking, so I’d better keep it in the backyard to calm down.

The first ones to come to pay New Year greetings were the Chen family.

Chen Weiguo and his wife, Chen Weimin and his wife, and Chen Weiguo's younger brothers and sisters.

Chen Weimin and Lin Junhua got married in the twelfth month of the year before last. Last summer, Lin Junhua gave birth to a girl.

Chen Weimin has written a lot in recent years, and last year another work won an award.

Sui Qingrun, chairman of the bureau trade union, is also a well-known writer. He admires Chen Weimin's talent very much, so last fall, he transferred Chen Weimin to work in the bureau trade union.

Since the birth of Chen Weimin and Lin Junhua's daughter, the Lin family's impression of Chen Weimin has improved a lot.

Chen Weimin was transferred to the bureau, and the Lin family thought of a way to transfer Lin Junhua's job to the Forestry Bureau's nursery.

In this way, Lin Junhua can take his daughter to work without delaying work and family.

Sheng Xiping has been traveling around this year, and he only occasionally heard Chen Weiguo say a few words about Chen Weimin, not much.

At this time, Sheng Xiping was also a little emotional when Chen Weimin talked about it himself.

In his previous life, Chen Weimin worked in a forestry farm for several years. Later, all the forestry farm workers were laid off, and Chen Weimin and his wife suffered a lot.

It wasn't until his daughter was quite old that Chen Weimin was transferred to the bureau, participated in compiling the major events of the Forestry Bureau's 50th anniversary, and was then assigned to work at Songlin TV Station.

In this life, Chen Weimin listened to Sheng Xiping's words, got prosthetic limbs installed early, devoted himself to writing, and became famous early. His situation was very different from that of his previous life.

Now both of them have been transferred to work in Songjianghe, and Chen Weimin is doing well in the bureau's labor union, which is much better than in his previous life.

"Brother Xiping, thank you very much.

If you hadn't been supporting me, encouraging me, and giving me ideas all these years, I might have been like others and didn't get a job until a while ago. "

At the end, Chen Weimin expressed his sincere thanks to Sheng Xiping.

"Ahem, I asked you to say this, isn't it because you are talented and capable?

If you don’t have the ability, it’s useless even if I encourage and support you. "Sheng Xiping smiled when he heard this and waved his hands quickly.

Everyone in the Chen family sat in the Sheng family for a while and then left.

After that, the Sheng family never stopped, and there were waves of people paying New Year's greetings.

People who were not so close to the Sheng family before now came over to pay New Year's greetings to Sheng Liancheng and his wife.

These people chatted closely with Sheng Xiping, often saying complimentary words, and tentatively asking Sheng Xiping if the company was still short of manpower.

Most of the time, Sheng Xiping just hummed and mumbled, and the other party knew what he was interested in, so he stopped asking.

If there are those who are ignorant and insist on asking for more information, Sheng Xiping will say that he is not responsible for recruiting people now, and he doesn't know whether there is a shortage of people.

Naturally, many people are not satisfied with this answer, but there is nothing they can do about it.

Sheng Xiping is no longer someone they can offend if they say they offend him. Even if they can't make friends, they try not to make grudges. Who knows if he will be able to beg someone in the future?

At noon, taking advantage of the few people coming, Sheng Xiping took his wife and children to Liu's house to pay New Year's greetings to Liu Changde and his wife.

When Liu Changde and his wife met Xin Yue and Xin Qi, they liked her so much that they refused to let Sheng Xiping and the others go, and had to stay for dinner.

Sheng Xinhua, Sheng Xinyu, Liu Qiang and the others also played well and refused to leave no matter what.

In this way, Sheng Xiping's family had dinner at Liu's house and played until it was almost dark, then went home.

On the second day of the first lunar month, the Sheng family held a banquet and invited the Liu family, Chen family, Wang family and others to come over and have a fun time together.

Sheng Xikang was busy with work and had a short vacation, so he had to go back in the third grade of junior high school.

So Sheng Xiping drove up early in the morning, taking Zhou Qinglan, his mother, his son and Sheng Xikang back to Songjiang River first.

After sending Sheng Xikang to the station and watching him buy a ticket and get on the train, he returned to Zhou's house with Zhou Qinglan, mother and son.

"Dad, Mom, happy New Year." The couple carried large and small packages and led their four children. As soon as they entered the door, they first greeted Zhou Mingyuan and his wife.

"Hey, okay, okay, everything is fine."

Zhou Mingyuan and his wife were extremely happy to see their uncle's family. The couple each picked up a granddaughter and kissed the little baby twice on the face.

"Come on, this is the New Year's money given by grandpa. Be sure to take it and don't lose it."

Zhou Mingyuan put Xin Yue on the kang, took out a red envelope from his pocket, and stuffed it into the child's hand.

Sheng Xinyue was such a ghost. When she saw that grandpa had given her a red envelope, she immediately knelt down on the kang and gave her grandpa a bite.

All of a sudden, everyone in the room was stunned, and they all looked at Xiao Xinyue in a daze.

"Oh my god, who did this kid learn from? Don't tell me, this guy is quite decent.

Lao Zhou, no, hurry up and give your child some more New Year's money. It's not okay to give him less money. The child can't eat his head in vain. "

Wang Chunxiu saw it from the side and couldn't help laughing. She had to ask Zhou Mingyuan to add some more money to the child.

Just as he was talking, Sheng Xinqi, who was in Wang Chunxiu's arms, followed her sister's example, knelt in front of her grandma, and also started to nibbling.
