It's not a way to keep squatting like this, life has to go on, and if you want to live, you have to stand up.

As time passed, Qin Shanhai gradually calmed down, made up his mind with a resolute expression, and was about to stand up violently.

Accidentally, "Poof!" fell to the ground.

After squatting for too long, he didn't think about the numbness in his legs at all, Qin Shanhai laughed at himself, slowed down, and after the numbness on his legs disappeared, he stood up quickly and walked forward briskly on the road to Guhe Town.

In this place, there is a lot of rain in spring and summer, the humidity is high, the trees grow vigorously, the water content is more, and the material is relatively loose. As a result, the felled trees are more laborious, the wood is not easy to keep, susceptible to pests, and perishable. Moreover, furniture made of this wood is easy to warp and crack because of its high water content.

After the trees are cut down, the forest needs to be cleared, and the scattered branches and decaying fallen trees must be sorted out and piled up, and all useless rattan shrubs must be cut off.

The forest is rainy in spring and summer, the road is muddy, it is difficult to drive into the transport vehicles and professional machinery, the transportation efficiency is reduced, and the forest growth cycle is determined, the winter enters the relatively slow growth period, the water content of the trees is low and not easy to shrink, and the felling has little impact on the trees, so it is said that the spring forest clearing in the winter felling area is conducive to timber production and the renewal of the forest.

Winter generally has a four-month snow period, and the snow cover is mostly more than 10 cm thick. The harvesting area is covered with snow, which causes certain difficulties in clearing the forest, because the clearing of the forest area in winter has no effect on the growth and development of trees and reforestation for the time being, so the activity of clearing the forest is set in spring.

Most forestry companies rely on the winter seasonal timber production, the forestry company can not finish the work, so they recruit temporary workers from the local area to go up the mountain to cut wood, at this time the village croppers are just in the winter idle season, idle work, earn a little extra money more villagers, a lot of people, wages naturally go down, the forestry company is naturally happy to do so.

Just into the spring, timber production has entered the off-season, most of the personnel of the forestry company are idle, the company does not work, people have no place to arrange, at this time, all the employees are put into the forest clearance operation, the labor efficiency will be greatly improved, so as not to raise the passive situation of the idler. The forest was cleared from the beginning of spring, and when the trees recovered, the felling area was cleared one after another.

At this time, it is a harsh winter, the peak season for logging.

When Qin Shanhai came to the town, he originally wanted to find Zhong Guotao to see if he could go back to the forest to revitalize the wood industry first, and be the original forest ranger.

Walking to the door of the revitalization forestry company, Qin Shanhai finally did not step in, he pondered, Guo Tao must ask himself the reason for coming back, he is really ashamed to speak, not to mention the last time he came to work in the company, people looked at Guo Tao's face, if any leader in the company called the police station to understand the situation, then he was embarrassed, Guo Tao would definitely have no face.

A strong guy can still find a living to eat?

Qin Shanhai remembered that on the way to and from work some time ago, there was a job poster posted on the telephone pole at the intersection of the town.

Sure enough, there were several recruitment notices on the telephone poles, and Qin Shanhai saw a notice that read: Recruit lumberjacks, branchers, timber workers, and loaders, and negotiate wages. The address is at a lumber yard south of the town.

Following the above address, Qin Shanhai went to the place where the job was recruited.

As soon as I turned the corner, I met a neighbor from the same village, Uncle Xizi, who came to the market on a bicycle, and when he was far away, he raised his legs and stepped out of the car.

"Dahai, what are you doing here? Aren't you working at the police station?" greeted Uncle Kiko.

Qin Shanhai replied stubbornly: "Ah, uncle, I'm here to do something." ”

"Well, the sea, don't forget Uncle when you have a chance in the future. ”

Qin Shanhai couldn't help but nod and said: "No, uncle, you give my father a word, I'm busy these days, so I won't go back, and I'll go back when I'm done for a while." ”

"Hey, okay, then you can hurry up and do something. Uncle Xizi replied.

"Okay, uncle, see you later. Qin Shanhai waved his hand and walked away quickly.

After a short time, I came to a factory with a compound, several trucks lined up in front of the door waiting for work, as soon as I entered the door, I could hear the loud noise of the chainsaw, and the workers could be seen working in each workshop.

Next to the guard, there are two crooked words pasted in front of the door: "Recruitment." ”

Qin Shanhai walked over and knocked on the door.

An old man in his fifties and sixties, wearing an old sheepskin jacket, was roasting a fire in the house, opened the door and looked up and asked, "Is there something?"

Qin Shanhai pointed to the words on the wall and said, "I...... Someone who came to look for a job. ”

The old man nodded, "Come in, young man, what do you order?

"Uh...... No, I'm a fast learner, and I have strength. Qin Shanhai replied.

"Felling, branching, timbering, baling and loading. What can you do?"

Logging, pruning, and timber making are all technical tasks, and there is no advanced mechanical help at this time, everything is done manually.

The tool axe should be sharp, starting from the root of the trunk, first hitting the upper and flank, then the lower layer.

The whole process must be constantly turned, and when the branches are beaten, they must be turned and covered by the thief. Dead branches and thick branches must be cut flush with the trunk, and a little more or less will distinguish the skill and the skill of the worker.

Timber, to use an electric saw or chain saw to cut the original strip into logs, the shape and material of each tree are different, and even the shape and material of different parts of the same tree are different, so according to the defects and distribution of each tree, as much high-quality wood as possible should be made, so as to improve the timber rate and grade rate of wood, which requires professional technology.

Qin Shanhai thought about it, he didn't know how to do the first three jobs at all, and it was obviously too late to learn now, and people didn't have the patience, so he had to say: "I can do it by bundling and loading the car." ”

The old man took a large look at Qin Shanhai's figure, nodded with satisfaction and said: "The salary is settled according to the car, three people load a car, and a car is 50." Pay on a monthly basis. ”

"Uh...... How long does it take to load a car?" Qin Shanhai asked.

"If you are not lazy, except for the time to eat and go to the toilet, from 5 o'clock in the morning to dark in the evening, it is exactly one car. The old man introduced.

Qin Shanhai thought to himself, after working in a day, he could get at least fifteen yuan, and he could get a small five hundred a month, which was a lot of money.

The old man saw that Qin Shanhai was silent, and said with a smile: "Why do you press the car knot?" It's just that I'm afraid that someone will be lazy, or if you don't work hard, you won't be able to make money if you delay the progress." ”

"Since you're here, you'll definitely make a lot of effort, that ...... In terms of food and housing?" Qin Shanhai asked again.

"There is a dormitory in the factory, the conditions are average, the canteen manages three meals, and you can eat enough!" said the old man and took out a notebook.

"Okay, I'm willing to do it!" Qin Shanhai decided.

"Do you have your ID card? ”

"Hey. Qin Shanhai responded, hurriedly took out his ID card, and handed it to the old man for registration.

……

In the evening, Qin's house in Shanghe Village.

Guan Xiaojuan rode a bicycle and carried Qin Shanyue to the door.

"Daddy. Qin Shanyue shouted.

"Uncle. Guan Xiaojuan shouted.

Qin De also just arrived home and was putting his bicycle away, and when he went out, he asked, "Did you find the sea?"

"Did you find the sea?" asked Guan Xiaojuan almost at the same time.

"No, I've been to all the same fellow students you gave me, and no one has seen him. Qin Dedao.

Guan Xiaojuan said: "We also went to the town to look around, but we didn't find it, and went to the car class of Guotao Company, and his colleagues said that he was on a business trip, and no one came to look for him." ”

"Then where will Brother Dahai go?" Qin Shanyue asked.

"Alas!" Qin De sighed.

"Don't worry uncle, the sea must have its own opinions, this thing just happened, I can't turn around in my heart, and after a few days, I figured it out in my heart, and I will naturally come back." Guan Xiaojuan comforted.

"Girl, let's go into the house to warm up, isn't it useless to be anxious?" Qin De said.

"No, uncle, it's getting late, I have to go back, there are still dozens of miles to go. I'll go to the town police station tomorrow to find out. ”

Just when Guan Xiaojuan was pushing her bicycle to leave, Uncle Xizi from the same village came over on a bicycle, and said on his feet: "Lao Qin, the sea asked me to bring you a letter, he is doing business in the town, and he will come back in a few days." Don't worry about it. ”

Qin De's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Did you see him?"

"Ahh Uncle Xizi nodded, "I was in the town to catch a market, and I happened to meet the sea." What's wrong, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's okay, thank you, thank you. Qin De relaxed slightly.

Uncle Xizi smiled: "I thought something was wrong? It's okay, I'll go back." ”

"Let's have a bite to eat. ”

"No, no, the family is ready, let's go, Lao Qin. ”

"Hey, slow down on the road. Qin De nodded.

Guan Xiaojuan shouted, "Uncle Xizi." ”

Uncle Xizi stood on his feet, turned around and asked, "Hey, what's wrong?"

Qin De hurriedly introduced: "This is a classmate of the sea. ”

Uncle Kiko nodded.

Guan Xiaojuan asked, "You see the sea in the town, which street is it?"

"It's Main Street...... It seems to be called the intersection of Gongnong Road. Uncle Kiko thought for a moment and replied.

"Hey, thank you. Guan Xiaojuan said politely.

"Hmm. Uncle Xizi turned his head to Qin De and said, "This girl is so handsome, Lao Qin, your son is so blessed." ”

"Hey, hey. Qin De nodded, and Uncle Xizi rode away after speaking.

Guan Xiaojuan pushed the bicycle and said: "Uncle, sister, don't worry now, the sea must be in the town, I'll look for it tomorrow, I found it, I'll call the village committee to inform you." ”

"Well, thank you, girl. After receiving the news from his son, Qin De's face looked better.

"Lu Xiao, ride slowly, sister-in-law. "Qin Shanyue and Guan Xiaojuan have been together for half a day, Guan Xiaojuan has always asked her to call her sister-in-law, but she didn't think so much at this time, so she called it casually.

It was originally a little secret between two girls, Guan Xiaojuan's face turned red when she heard this, so she had to pretend not to hear it, stepped on the bicycle, waved her hand indiscriminately, and rode away.

Qin De watched Guan Xiaojuan gradually walk away, turned around and asked, "Xiaoyue, what did you call her just now?"

Qin Shanyue also realized that she had made a mistake, covered her mouth and smiled: "It's nothing." ”

"Call her sister-in-law. Qin De asked.

Qin Shanyue smiled: "Hehe, she asked me to call, and she also told me about her and my brother, and her family agreed." ”

"Agreed?" Qin De was stunned for a moment, standing motionless.
