Ai Qing was responsible for leading the valley people to go up the mountain to cut down the fir trees, cut the small cedars with saws as lattices, and the big fir trees were used as trusses, and there were many people who could do carpentry and muddy water work in a huge Daoxiang Valley, and after four or five days, the masons had built the brick walls of ten houses, erected the trusses, nailed the lattice, and covered the tiles, and the houses of the Zhiqing Point were also done, and they also made a large floor with gray sand, which was hard bottomed, which was convenient for them to harvest the rice and spread it on it to dry.

Cai Qiang instructed: "Tomorrow, let's concentrate our efforts to paint the inner and outer walls with gray sand, and sweep the lime water, it is a snow-white piece, these students will like it when they see it!" ”

Cai Wenxiu said: "People come down from the provincial capital, and people in big cities live in high-rise buildings, and now they live in low-rise brick houses, do you still like it?" It's good not to cry your nose! ”

yes! Educated youths come to this remote poor mountain village from the big city, living in a low tiled house, and there is no electricity, at night, the surrounding is so dark that you can't see your fingers, the shadows of the trees on the hill are sufficient, the wind is loud, the grass and trees are all soldiers, not scared into the bed, shrunken, even dare not say out loud is strange?

Ten days later, a large truck took the educated youths to the Taohua People's Commune, and then, under the leadership of the commune cadres, walked along the sand and gravel paved village road to the Zhiqing Point, and he went back.

Cai Qiang led the members of the Daoxianggu production team, waving a small red triangular flag in his hand, standing on both sides of the village road, shouting loudly: "Warmly welcome the intellectual youth to go to the mountains and go to the countryside, and make great achievements in the vast world!" ”

A young man who walked in front also raised his fist and led the students to shout: "Learn from the poor middle peasants, pay tribute to the poor middle peasants!" ”

In that era of burning passion, the young intellectuals were indeed full of enthusiasm and were willing to tenaciously temper their revolutionary will and become the successors of the proletarian revolution in the vast world of the countryside and in this great melting pot of socialism.

When he came to the Dadiping of the Educated Youth Point, Cai Qiang said: "Educated youth! There are ten rooms in total, except for a kitchen, a warehouse, a utility room, and a manure tank, there are only six dormitories left, each with four wooden beds, you can combine them freely? ”

The student who took the lead in shouting the slogan just now said: "My name is Liu Gang, I am their class president, there are a total of twenty-two educated youths, sixteen male classmates, just four rooms, six female classmates, three people live in one room, enough!" ”

"My name is Cai Qiang, I am the captain of the Daoxianggu production team, and the superior leaders entrusted us to take care of the educated youth point and lead you to cultivate the thirty acres of land near here. Cai Qiang clarified the future work of the educated youth.

Liu Gang said politely: "Thank you for the help of the captain and the cadres, we are all students who have just graduated from school, just like a blank piece of paper, we don't know anything, especially the technology of farming, we don't know anything, the cadres help us a lot of young people, master the farming technology as soon as possible, and be a qualified peasant masses!" ”

"As long as you have determination, perseverance, and perseverance, you can learn farming techniques, but everything is difficult at the beginning, and all you have is 30 acres of arable land and 10 brick houses, one poor and two white!" Cai Qiang said.

Liu Gang said firmly: "But what we have is a red heart, two iron arms, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tiredness, perseverance to the end, in this vast world, root, sprout, fruit!" ”

"It's good that you're prepared! That's what we're hoping for, right? Really work, hard work, smart work, you will definitely succeed! Cai Qiang encouraged.

Liu Gang said: "Then let's put the luggage away first, lay the bedding, and then start cooking on the fire!" ”

"Today, you are new to the city, and you are tired, you all lie down on the bed to rest, and when we have prepared a meal, we will get up and eat together, in order to welcome your arrival, the young people of the village are ready to come and have a party with you tonight! Everyone took turns to come out of the show and have a lively first good night! Cai Qiang said.

Young people just like to be lively, Liu Gang said excitedly: "Okay! As soon as we came down, we were able to mingle with the people, and this is a good start. ”

Cai Qiang and the cadres of the production team, a few days ago in the kitchen to build a stove, bought a large iron pot, but also added a large number of bowls and dishes, in that period of material is very scarce, Daoxianggu people can still maintain a living standard of food and clothing, cadres to the youth sent a large barrel of tea seed oil, more than 20 catties of fresh pork, five or six chickens, firewood, rice, oil and salt, all available.

At this time, everyone was busy, killing chickens, cutting pork, cutting pork, busy and happy, when Liu Gang and the educated youths got up, the cadres of the production team had already set up three large tables and twelve benches on the floor, and brought out the dishes.

After everyone sat down next to the three large tables, Zhang Dabiao took a full bucket of rice wine and said, "Educated youth! When you come to the vast world of the countryside, you have to learn to drink, because doing farm work is a very hard thing, drink two glasses at dinner, and sleep after getting drunk, you can relieve the fatigue of the day, and when you get up the next morning, you are full of energy, and you can work again! ”

"But tonight, let's drink less, and we're going to have a gala!" Cai Qiang said.

Cao Jian said: "We understand! The first hurdle in the countryside is to learn to drink, so that you can mingle with the masses! ”

"This is my proposal, you just don't drink alcohol, you can mingle with the people!" Zhang Dabiao said hurriedly.

Liu Gang said: "Since drinking can relieve fatigue, and I can do farm work better in the future, I, as the squad leader, take the lead in drinking less, try how the effect is!" ”

"I'm a member of the life committee in the class, so I want to get closer to life, and I'll drink two cups!" Cao Jian said.

Wang Xiaoxia said: "I am the recreation committee member of the class, and I will also try the power of wine!" ”

"I am a member of the study committee of the class, I can't lag behind, even if it is more difficult to drink than Chinese herbal medicine, I must drink two cups!" Wu Wenhao said.

Jiang Shaoqiang said: "I am the sports committee member of the class, and I should drink two cups, and in the future, I will play blue ball, rampage, and be unstoppable!" ”

His words reminded Cai Qiang, and he hurriedly said: "If you don't say it, I'm too busy, tomorrow I will ask someone to go up the mountain to cut down trees, and let the carpenter master make you a blue ball rack, and erect it at both ends of this large land, and it will become a basketball court!" ”
