440. The second day of reclamation, run away(1/3)

The mobilization for land reclamation ends.

The team assigned in advance began to merge, the captain led their team members, and then took the guys prepared in the morning to all parts of the island.

The first wave of hairtail flood has ended, and there is no work at sea in the next few days, so the strong laborers have not gone to sea and have to follow the land reclamation in the early stages.

Wang Yi and the teachers were assigned to the first team and followed Wang Xianghong to reclaim the land.

The teachers relied on voluntary reclaiming land. Except for Huang Yougong and Zhu Zhenxue, everyone else volunteered to participate in the reclaiming land, and even took off the cook's clothes and went on to battle.

Huang Yougong was very embarrassed.

Zhu Zhenxue led him to boil water to deliver water to the members.

This has contributed to the production team's land reclamation.

In this way, Huang Yougong became more relaxed.

Wang Yi originally thought that reclaiming 50 acres of new land was not a big problem. They were different from Dazhai Village. Although Dazhai Village was famous, in fact, when they reclaimed the land, the population was very small, with a total of more than 100 people less than 200 people, so it took ten years to achieve those achievements.

For example, Tianya Island is a large production team, and the Wang family’s population can be ranked in the entire county, and they have more than one hundred households alone!

In this way, he thought, even if the labor force could be used was only 500, those 500 people reclaimed 50 acres of new land in one winter, which was equivalent to ten people reclaiming one acre of land. Isn’t this a simple matter?

Just have hands!

But I really started working in the afternoon.

Wang Yi's eyes were straight!

How to reclaim land on islands? They have to open mountains first and ask for fields for mountains and stones!

The islands on the outer islands are formed over thousands of years, and the accumulation of countless years has caused the island to gather soil.

But over a million years, there will always be some landslides, causing the mountains on the island to collapse and some stones to fall and occupy the land.

All they had to do was to clean up all the stones, find the land, and then use a floor machine to reclaim the land.

This guy's work pressure comes.

He thought that not to mention one winter, it would be a good skill to be able to collect fifty acres of land a year.

The main problem is finding land!

The members worked hard to climb over stones. Sometimes they spent a few days to turn over, but eventually they found a layer of rocks. This would mean that all the work wasted in a few days. They had to find another place to climb over stones and find farmland.

Wang Yi had a reaction on the spot after he figured out this:

What a fuss?

Isn't this fun?

He quickly started to use his little brains to think badly. He roughly understood the 22-year wasteland development. They were all built on big machines, bulldozers, forklifts, stone carts, etc., and they all depended on machines to do it.

Don’t think about this in 1982. He couldn’t really get a car to Tianya Island. The impact was too great and he couldn’t explain where he came from!

Wang Yi scratched the back of his head and really came up with an idea:

What is the difficulty of land reclamation on the island? It is difficult to determine the location of the fields. In this way, why don’t you go to 22 years to see where new farmlands are found on Tianya Island?

With the obsession between the production team towards farmland, Wang Yi believes that even if he does not intervene, the production team will reclaim new farmland in the future.

This is for sure.

Because Wang Yi has visited Tianya Island for 22 years, he remembers that there are more fields on the island than in 1982, but the farmland has been abandoned in 22 years, and he has no intention of restarting the farmland, so he does not care where there are farmland on the island for 22 years.

With this idea, Wang Yi relaxed.

He first followed the members to pack up the stones, some used iron picks, some used hoes, and some used crowbars. The stones were knocked out and moved out, and they piled up together and quickly stacked up.

Wang Xianghong didn't work, so he wandered among the teams and emphasized safety: "Be sure to pay attention to the pried stones. If there are any joints, don't pry them randomly, especially in the neighboring mountains. Be careful that the rocks roll down!"

Reclamation is a physical job. After half an hour, the team leaders blew the whistle and signaled to rest.

Wang Xianghong returned to a small team to distribute cigarettes to the members, and some men came to smoke and relax their strength together.

Wang Yi went to deliver water to Qiuwei River and asked, "Are you tired?"

Qiu Weishui smiled and said, "I'm not tired. When I was a child, I followed my grandfather and others to open up land on the farm. At that time, it was in the northwest. The conditions in that place were hard and the work was tiring!"

Wang Yi asked, "Did you go to the northwest at that time? I haven't heard much of it from you."

Qiu Weishui leaned on Wang Yi's back and posed with him in a back-to-back position, and sighed softly: "My grandfather doesn't want to mention it. My parents' grave was there before, and my grandfather took me back. He moved back to his hometown in 1977, so we never went to the northwest again."

Someone asked curiously after hearing their words: "Teacher Xiaoqiu, have you been to the northwest border of the motherland? I heard that there is so beautiful there."

Wang Yi was about to stop the members from mentioning topics related to the past of Qiu Weishui, but Qiu Weishui himself laughed indifferently:

"Well, our farm was next to a big river at that time, and there were a lot of wild hemp, sycamore trees, poplar trees, and red willows growing around it. Have you ever seen sycamore trees that need two people to embrace? There are so many on the other side of our farm."

Seeing her talking, someone asked curiously: "You are digging wasteland in the northwest? What's the northwest like? Don't you have to pry stones like on our island?"

Qiu Weishui smiled and said, "It's true that there are not many stones and grass there. If you want to clear the land, you have to weed and cut down trees."

"I followed my family to weed. The grass there was very dense, with mosquitoes and bugs in spring, summer and autumn. What I hate the most is the gadflies. They suck blood so terrible, it hurts and easily causes infection."

"Teacher Xiaoqiu, tell us what the northwest is like and how you opened up the land at that time." The students surrounded her with interest.

Qiu Weishui hugged his knees and smiled, "Okay, we had the same organization as the troops, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, squads, and tasks arranged layer by layer."

"Work was very tiring at that time, but everyone was very enthusiastic about work and would try their best to exceed the task. If anyone could not complete the task during the day, they would secretly go to work at night."

"The place where we opened land is a distance from the farm. After working every day, everyone is too tired. No one is willing to go back to the farm, so they will find a leveling place to pull up a tent and cut wild hemp to serve as a bed."

She looked up at the sky.

The clouds had been blown away by the wind, and a touch of blue was revealed.

Qiu Weishui showed a smile of memories on his face and said, "Wild numb is very rough, but everyone was too tired at that time. I felt that the bed of wild numb was very comfortable, thick, soft, and can also prevent insects. I fell asleep after lying down."

"But the conditions in the wild are still not good. There are too many mosquitoes in summer and I don't know how many bags you will get bitten in one night. Have you ever seen someone unable to open his eyes in the morning? Haha, I have seen that his eyes were pecked by mosquitoes, so swollen that he couldn't open his eyes!"

"In winter, there are no insects, but the weather is very cold. When I wake up in the morning, I don't even have a layer of frost on my head."

Wang Yi sighed lightly: "It's too bitter."

Qiu Weishui smiled and said, "Fortunately, everyone was thinking about opening up new land for the country and providing food to the people. I didn't feel it was hard or tiring. At that time, I didn't hear anyone complaining."

"Especially, our team leader is very good. He and Teacher Sun are fellow villagers, big men in the hometown of Confucius and Mencius. Although they are soldiers, they are not rude at all. They will tell us about it when they are resting."

Zhu Zhenxue picked up a stone and threw it out, and smiled and said, "That was the case at that time. I have been to the northwest. But it was not about going to open up land, but in 1955, there were no enough farmers in the northwest cotton fields, so people were drawn from all over the place to help."

"The northwest is very dry. Our Wengzhou Camp will have a nosebleed for at most three days. In order to take care of us, the group gave us extra water - the water there is even more nervous than on our island!"

"The water we used at that time was brought back by the cooks from several kilometers away. Each person had a pot of boiling water for drinking, and a scoop of cold water was used to wash their faces and clean them up. Only one more scoop of water was given every Saturday night to let us wash our hair and take a shower."

"How do you take a bath with a can of water?" Wang Kai asked, "Do you don't have a bathhouse in our team?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhenxue laughed loudly and said to the sky: "You kids are just living a good life in our team. Do you see where there is a bathhouse in the entire commune besides our team?"

"What's more, it's 55 years, twenty-seven or eight years ago!"

Wang Xianghong handed him a cigarette and said, "I wish the teacher not to worry about these stupid children. They are in a good time and have a good life. How can they know what life are our people living in five or six years?"

Wang Yi laughed loudly when she heard this.

Are children these days catching up with the best time?

That's right.

Compared to the previous generation, they are already at a good time.

In fact, the Republic takes ten years as a unit. Every person in ten years can say to the people in the next ten years, "You can catch up with good times and live a good life."

Although there are always some problems in the Republic, it cannot be denied that if it is in ten years, the country will develop rapidly and make great progress.

Zhu Zhen learned about Qiu Weishui: "Have you lived in a local nest?"

Qiu Weishui smiled and said, "I have lived there, but very few have lived there."

Zhu Zhenxue said: "We lived a lot. At that time, we lived in the cotton field, and ten people slept next to each other."

"They are very motivated to work. Some people deliberately pretend to be asleep. When others fall asleep, they quietly call their friends around them and go to the fields to continue picking up cotton under the moonlight."

"Later, everyone discovered this. If you don't sleep, I won't sleep. The comrades competed with whom they went to the field first, didn't speak, and worked hard with baskets on their backs - and then they often fell asleep while picking up cotton!"

"What did everyone do not sleep at that time? They wanted to make contributions to the country and to be able to win the honor of "cotton-picking model". Whoever got this honor would be proud. Even the border guards who protected us would take the initiative to salute them when they saw it."

Good night smiled and said, "Our dear teacher Zhu has won the honor of the model of cotton picking twice, so everyone can applaud and encourage you."

When the members heard this, they laughed and applauded.

Zhu Zhenxue was really energetic when he mentioned this matter. He slowly sucked the cigarette and said, "At that time, everyone felt particularly honorable. Every time he awarded the model award, there were always people who would not go to the kitchen to get food the next day."

"What's going on? The night before, I felt so uncomfortable that I cried in the cotton field. My eyes were swollen. I was embarrassed to see someone, haha!"

Listen to the old days of the past.

Wang Yi was a little moved.

In those eras, life was very hard, but in those eras, people really had faith, were motivated, and were physically tired, but they would be much easier than in the 21st century. The gap between the rich and the poor around them was smaller, but their sense of happiness would be stronger.

Most of the things that make you feel happy are compared.

He really wanted to go back to that era to see it.
