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

Chapter 47 Let’s go up the mountain together

Dad, go find Uncle Wang tonight and tell him. Don't let the school do this.

Sheng Xiping was speechless when he learned the whole story.

The school originally had good intentions, but it turned sour when implemented.

In order to get praise, the children dug holes in the door to look for scrap metal.

But we picked it up once last year, so how much scrap metal is there this year? Then don’t we have to think of something else?

When Sheng Liancheng heard this, he quickly pinched the cigarette in his hand, got up and went out.

Needless to say, he must have gone to the venue to see Wang Jiachuan to report the situation and discuss how to handle the matter in the future.

Mom, before you teach your child a lesson, ask the reason first. Don't just ask. Hit him first.

Sheng Xiping looked at his mother helplessly.

Parents these days seem to have this problem. Regardless of whether their children are right or wrong, as long as someone comes to complain, they must first beat their own children.

Waiting to find out the whole story, knowing that the child has been wronged, but unable to save face, he still has to insist that this is all for the child's good.

Then your dad came back and said that they went to steal iron and were caught.

Why don't I beat them up and leave them to cause big trouble?

Zhang Shuzhen was a little embarrassed when her eldest son told her, so she threw the feather duster on the kang and went out to cook.

The same goes for you guys. If our mother beats you, why don't you stand and get beaten?

Why can't you run? Do you have to take a few more strokes to feel comfortable?

Both parents went out. Sheng Xiping looked at his younger siblings and sighed helplessly.

Sixth brother, come here, let me see where you were beaten?

Sheng Xiping waved to his sixth brother, and Sheng Xitai, who was holding back tears, immediately threw himself into his brother's arms.

I got hit on my back and it hurts.

In fact, Zhang Shuzhen didn't beat her that hard, and Sheng Xitai was used to being beaten, so she didn't feel bad at all.

But in front of the eldest brother, you have to act coquettishly.

Are you saying that you, a big kid, will do what your second brother and the others do? I don't think you get beaten much. Sheng Xiping was also speechless.

Only those in the third grade and above are required to hand in scrap metal. Sheng Xitai is only in the first grade and doesn't have to hand it in at all. Why does he have to join in the fun?

The second brother asked me to help look after the wind. Sheng Xitai raised his head and looked at his elder brother and said.

Second brother, let a foodie look out for you. Fortunately, you can figure it out.

Sheng Xiping couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.

Are you all on summer vacation? Do you have a lot of homework?

How about you two follow me up the mountain? This saves you from getting into trouble by sitting around at home all day long.

Gastrodia elata has only been around for about twenty days since it was unearthed. Seeing that it is only a few days away, it would be nice to draw more.

The second and third eldest children are not at home, Yunfang and Yunfei are girls, and the sixth and sixth eldest children are too young to do shopping.

If these two grown-ups were with them, and they got mixed up with the half-grown boys from other families, I really don't dare to say what they could do.

Children these days are all wild. They stay away from home all day long during the holidays and run all over the mountains and fields. What if they encounter some danger?

Hearing what his eldest brother said, Sheng Xikang immediately became energetic.

Brother, how about you take us up the mountain to hunt?

If we hunt another wild boar or black blind man, we will have meat to eat again.

Sheng Xiping's face darkened and he glared at his third brother.

You stop dreaming there. How old are you? You just want to go hunting in the mountains? Do you think that is fun?

For a kid like you, let alone a blind man, a wild boar can knock you up into the sky with just one mouthful.

Even though Sheng Xiping was good at hunting, he didn't want his younger brothers to follow suit. This profession was too hard and too dangerous.

As long as he is here, the brothers can study hard and help the family with some work during holidays.

It's best to avoid getting involved in something as dangerous as hunting.

My eldest brother went hunting in the mountains with Uncle Liu when he was only thirteen. I am now fifteen, two years older than my eldest brother at the time.

Sheng Xikang was dissatisfied and felt that his elder brother was looking down on him.

What was our family like then? What is our family like now? Can you compare with me? Sheng Xiping snorted.

At that time, Sheng Liancheng was stationed in the mountains and worked all year round. Zhang Shuzhen had given birth to two more daughters to take care of, and she could not work in the family team to earn money.

The whole family lived on Sheng Liancheng's salary, and had to send some money to their hometown from time to time. It was a hard life.

Sheng Xiping was sensible early, wild-tempered, and fearless of both heaven and earth, so he followed his master up the mountain.

I dare not say anything else, but sharing some meat can help improve the life of the family.

Nowadays, the conditions of the Sheng family cannot be said to be very good, but there is no problem in having a full stomach.

Of course he didn't want his brothers to suffer as much as he did.

Besides, why are you hunting in this summer? It's all in autumn and winter.

Sheng Xiping realized that his tone of voice had become harsher, so he softened his attitude.

The older generations are very particular about hunting. We don't hunt in spring and summer, only in autumn and winter.

These are rules and cannot be broken casually.

Rules are dead and people are alive. This cannot be generalized, but it is enough to fool Sheng Xikang.

While talking, Sheng Liancheng came back, I told your Uncle Wang, he said to go to the principal tonight and have a good talk with him.

With this said, basically the matter of handing over scrap metal is just that.

In fact, as long as scrap metal is no longer seen everywhere in the field, that is enough. There is really no need to set an amount.

In order to raise that amount, wouldn’t the child have to find other ways to recruit?

A small storm passed just like that. The next morning, Sheng Xiping led his two younger brothers in a car up the mountain and went to dig gastrodia elata around the working area inside the third branch line.

Why did I choose this place? The main reason is that there is a logging area inside, and the sounds of chain saws and tractors are very loud.

The surrounding beasts have basically been frightened away, so there won't be much danger.

Moreover, it is close to the protected area, so few people come here, and the Gastrodia elata is thick inside, so there is a lot of digging.

This was Sheng Xiping's little trick. Others were in the woods around the forest farm, so they ran out farther.

With not so many people coming, we can gain more.

At this time, the Gastrodia elata pole has grown quite tall, and the inflorescence on top has also bloomed.

Looking from a distance, a purple-red stem has a bunch of yellow-green flowers on it, which is quite conspicuous.

One morning, the three brothers came across a dozen trees and dug out most of their bags of Gastrodia elata.

However, the Gastrodia elata is a little empty at this time, and it is not as heavy as before.

Fortunately, there are a lot of them, so you can show off a lot.

Sheng Xiping estimated that this crop of Gastrodia elata could be sold for several hundred yuan.

At noon, the three brothers came out of the woods and found a place to sit down and eat by the railway track.

Not far ahead, an office car parked, but there was no one in it.

Sheng Xikang was curious and wanted to go over to take a look, but Sheng Xiping grabbed him.

Don't get me into trouble. Who knows what's in that car? I'll bet it's you if I lose something.

Since the car dares to be parked in the wild, there must be nothing inside.

Sheng Xiping just wanted to scare his younger brother to prevent him from getting too curious.

Unexpectedly, when the three brothers were about to go into the woods again after dinner, Sheng Xikang ran to see the office car on the pretext of going to pee.

There was nothing in the car except a black rocker phone.

Sheng Xikang became curious, so he picked up the phone and shook it a few times, then put it to his ear to listen.

The female operator's voice came from the telephone exchange, Where do you want to answer?

Sheng Xikang was so frightened that he quickly put the phone on his phone and ran away.
