Zhang Dabiao took six male intellectuals up the mountain to chop branches, and Cai Qiang took sixteen male and female intellectuals to dig up the ground on the hillside. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Planting sweet potato seedlings, the planting method of taking potatoes and taking potatoes is different, taking potatoes, piling up the soil high, and it is a row in line, so it is a method of growing potatoes, and it is necessary to dig sweet potatoes when you can cut potato seedlings; To take seedlings and feed pigs, the ground is dug into a depression of four or five feet, and a row of sweet potato seedlings is planted one foot apart, and when they grow to two to three feet long, the seedlings can be cut and fed to the pigs.

Cai Qiang took Liu Gang and the male intellectuals to dig the ground, and Cai Juan took the female intellectuals to dig the potatoes, and they used a knife to cut the potato seedlings into about a foot long, and then folded off the three potato leaves at the bottom, which was to reduce the water absorption of the stems and leaves and improve the survival rate.

Cai Juan said to the female intellectuals: "These potato leaves can be cooked for cooking, the leaves are smooth and the stems are crisp, and the taste is good!" ”

"This kind of vegetarian dish can only be tasted in the countryside, we haven't even seen it, we really have to try it tonight!" Wang Xiaoxia became interested.

After digging the ground and raising a depression, Cai Qiang took the male intellectuals to open small shallow ditches with shovels, and Cai Juan took the female intellectuals to put the potatoes in, and then filled them with mud, and the planting work was completed.

Cai Qiang took a few young men to pick up the stream water from the bottom of the mountain and watered the freshly planted potato seedlings to ensure that the land was moist.

The terraced fields on the hillside, each piece is only more than two points, just planting potatoes, digging five or six pieces of land, Cai Qiang said: "Let's dig these long terraces, used to grow cucumbers, winter melons, beans and tomatoes, after the long potatoes climb the fence, ventilation, sufficient light, and more melons and beans!" ”

"It's surrounded by a fence on all sides, and there's a depression in the middle, and you can grow vegetables!" Cai Juan said.

When Zhang Dabiao took six educated youths to pick up the branches, Cai Qiang and sixteen educated youths also dug up the vegetable field, divided it into a depression, and prepared to sprinkle rapeseeds.

As the saying goes: three fences are a pile, and three heroes are a one-person gang, that is to say, when the fence is built, three small technical strips must be fixed with a large branch inserted deeper into the ground, so that this row of fences will not be blown down by the wind.

Cai Qiang started first, inserted the wooden strips diagonally to the side, inserted one row, and then inserted another row of wooden strips, and the two rows of wooden strips were crossed and combined to form a fence wall, and then inserted a large wooden strip to fix it, but the wind could not blow down.

As the sky gradually darkened, everyone also sprinkled the rapeseeds, put up a fence, and poured water on them, so that the rapeseed could take root and sprout in the ground, so that the vegetables they ate would not have to be transported out of the grain.

Before leaving, Cai Qiang said: "Tomorrow, the male intellectuals will follow me to the mountains to chop wood, and then pick it to the porcelain factory to sell, and when they make money, they will buy two piglets from the Gumin and come back to raise, everyone says okay?" ”

"This couldn't be better, tomorrow our female educated youth will also go to help pick firewood, and after buying back the piglets, we will be responsible for cooking feed and feeding, so you boys don't have to do it!"

Wang Xiaoxia heard that she wanted to buy piglets and come back to feed, jumping three feet high, raising pigs and growing vegetables, isn't this the work that the farmer family has to do?

Liu Gang said: "Then tomorrow to chop firewood, you girls don't need to do it, you are responsible for watering the planted potato seedlings and vegetable seeds!" ”

The female intellectuals agreed, and they also imagined that the peasant family enjoyed the fun brought by the small collective life, because they knew that this time they went to the mountains and went to the countryside, they might have to take root, blossom and bear fruit in this vast world.

However, Cai Qiang did not think like this, these students have knowledge and culture, and urban construction also needs talents, and they always have to return to the city to achieve the grand goal of the "four modernizations", go to the mountains and go to the countryside, participate in collective labor, and accept the re-education of the poor and middle peasants, just to temper their strong will and be good successors to the revolutionary cause.

Therefore, he wants them to have more opportunities for refining, to buy two piglets to raise, with the strong collective funds of the production team, it is not a problem at all, but he wants to let the educated youth know that rural people must pay hard sweat and hard work for every penny they earn, so that they can understand the simple truth of being diligent and thrifty, practicing economy, and not spending money lavishly.

On this morning, Wang Xiaoxia took her two roommates and got up early, they wanted to make breakfast for the boys, let them go up the mountain to chop firewood to make money, and buy the piglets back as soon as possible to raise, the girls' wishes are also very satisfying!

Cai Qiang and Zhang Dabiao came to the Zhiqing point on time, and the boys also ate breakfast, each holding a woodcutter in their hands, majestic, and high-spirited followed behind the cadres of the two production teams, as if they were going to fight a local war, serious and excited.

It is not difficult to chop raw wood, there are many miscellaneous trees in the mountains, no need to climb trees, and they grow everywhere, as long as you have the strength, wave the machete, you can cut down the miscellaneous trees one by one, just like the day to cut the branches of the fence, tie into a tree, put on a small wooden pole can pick it.

The porcelain factory is a collective enterprise, belonging to the management of the commune enterprise, specializing in the production of rice bowls and plates used in daily life, in the period of planned economy, the sales channel is good, at that time it was used to calcine the bowl blank, belongs to the environmental pollution enterprise, that is, at that time, if it is now, it has long been ordered to rectify by the relevant departments.

When the educated youths picked up the firewood to the porcelain factory, after weighing, Cai Qiang took them to the production workshop, the production machine at that time was still very backward, the billet machine still used its feet to tread, put the thin mud into the bowl mold made of gypsum, step on the machine to make the bowl mold rotate, and then press out the bowl blank, put it on the wooden frame to dry, and spray the glaze after trimming, and then it can be loaded into the kiln for calcination.

Where have you seen such a production method? Feeling very novel, Cai Qiang refused to go away, Cai Qiang whispered to Zhang Dabiao: "You take them here to visit, I will go to the factory cashier to withdraw money, and tomorrow I will buy two little piglets at the villagers' houses, transport them to the educated youth point, and let them raise!" ”

Zhang Dabiao nodded, he couldn't bear to disturb the interest of the educated youth, and was ready to let them see enough, anyway, today's task has been completed, and they can't be tired all of a sudden, the educated youth are still young, and there is still a lot of work waiting for them to do!

Cai Qiang came to the factory finance room, took out the receipt, and said, "Cashier! Please pay for the firewood, I am still waiting for the ten yuan to buy two piglets for the educated youths to raise? ”

"These student babies! It's really embarrassing enough, coming all the way from the provincial capital to our poor countryside to receive re-education, to put it bluntly, isn't it to use labor to transform the worldview? The teller said.

At that time, no one dared to speak too explicitly!
