Early in the morning of February 24, 1969, before dawn, after everyone had breakfast, Uncle Tiger, Brother Tiedan, Brother Shi and Sister Caiyan went home to arrange things.

Teacher Cen and Uncle Lan each set up a carriage and took me, Xiaoda, Jingdi, Brother Zu Xing, Brother Lan Feng, Brother Jingtian, Brother Wenchang, Sister Wen Juan and others to the old site of the Guigu Military Academy to carry some mechanical and electrical equipment that had been sealed there in the past.

Aunt Lotus, Sister Caixia, Sister Li'an and Sister Lifen stayed at the Lan family to do housework.

When you're ready, we're off to go!

Along the way, we don't have the freshness we had when we first came here!

Everyone knew they were going to work, so they were all in a hurry!

After we arrived at the school gate, Uncle Lan called the gate with a key.

After we entered the campus, Uncle Lan closed the door again.

Teacher Cen said, "Children! In the future, this place may have to be requisitioned! Therefore, today, we are going to remove all the equipment and items that can be used and useful! We first went to move the materials from the underground warehouse, and then we went to the cave warehouse in Nanshan to move the equipment and materials there! ”

So, we went to that warehouse together, the warehouse we used last time, after Uncle Lan pried open the entrance to the basement, we entered the underground warehouse together, there are more than 20 sets of new automatic rifles and other equipment, as well as ammunition, clothing, books and stationery and other things, these items Xiaoda and I have made lists and statistics.

All these materials were carried on the floor of the warehouse.

In this way, all the contents of the underground warehouse were emptied by us!

Teacher Cen and Uncle Lan selected the materials that needed to be carried away and asked everyone to carry them to the carriage or to the office next door.

The remaining garbage and waste materials were all moved to the open space of the playground and burned and cleaned up.

After these things were dealt with, Uncle Lan said, "Teacher Cen! The South Mountain Cave Garage is a former repair shop and garage! When we left the school, we were mothballed as four brand new jeeps, two trucks, gasoline, etc.! The entire set of mechanical and electrical equipment, maintenance tools, maintenance materials, accessories and consumables of the automobile repair plant are all disassembled, packaged and sealed in accordance with the strict original regulations! These supplies should be in good condition! ”

Teacher Cen said, "Yes! Back then, we were sealed according to the 25-year mothballing standard! It's only been 18 years! There should be no problem! Walk! Let's go to the cave together! ”

We followed Teacher Cen and Uncle Lan to the gate of the cave at the foot of the mountain at the southernmost end of the campus!

Uncle Lan used the key to call the heavy iron door of the cave!

Everyone saw that it was pitch black inside the cave, and you couldn't see anything!

Uncle Lan said, you can't go into the garage now! No flashlights! He was worried about the leakage of gasoline inside! The air inside is poisonous!

In order to ventilate and light the cave, Uncle Lan took Brother Lan Feng, Brother Jingtian and Brother Wenchang along a very steep stone ladder road to climb the rock!

Once they reached the top of the mountain, they opened several vents and lighting openings at the top of the cave!

Soon we saw four or five pillars of light shining into the dark cavern!

Suddenly, the entire cave suddenly became bright and transparent!

We saw that the whole cave was very large!

It's neatly packed with supplies!

I made a cursory count, and at one end of the warehouse lay four tight jeeps wrapped in nylon canvas; two large trucks that have been packed and sealed; Dozens of Karen barrels and some portable iron oil barrels, etc.

At the other end of the cave is the garage, where the equipment has been dismantled and packed in sturdy wooden boxes. There are dozens of these boxes of varying sizes! The packaging box indicates the name, model, weight and quantity of the equipment, etc., and there are dozens of accessory boxes, dozens of boxes of consumables, as well as maintenance materials such as copper and steel for machining parts, as well as a large number of books and technical information!

After Uncle Lan and the others returned to the door of the cave in a panting, Teacher Cen asked them to drink water and rest!

Uncle Lan said, "Teacher Cen! When the bad smell is gone, let's go inside! If, these are in good condition! The vehicle is in good condition! These supplies are very easy to move! There is a complete set of equipment and tools for lifting and handling! ”

Teacher Cen smiled and said, "Uncle Lan! Back then, you were asked to go to Shanghai to learn this technology! Now it can come in handy! ”

Uncle Lan smiled and said, "Alas! This is all Mr. Cen's clever calculation! Let's have a craft to support our families in peacetime! In the future, leave these skills to the children! ”

Since, in the past, we had a car at home, and when Brother Zu Xing was studying in the county, he often went to Uncle Tianxing to learn how to drive a car, so Brother Jingtian, Brother Wenchang and Brother Zu Xing are no strangers to cars, and they all know how to drive vehicles.

After Uncle Lan rested, the smell in the cave had dissipated, and Uncle Lan led Brother Jingtian, Brother Wenchang, Brother Zu Xing and Brother Lan Feng to start installing tires on six vehicles, and these tires were all vacuum-sealed and anti-aging packaged! After Uncle Lan opened the bag, he revealed brand new car tires!

They unfastened the sealing canvas on the flap on the vehicle, as well as the anti-rust film, etc., and suddenly revealed a brand new vehicle!

Under the guidance of Uncle Lan, the brothers used special tools to install matching tires on six vehicles and pump up the tires!

After these things were done, Uncle Lan and Mr. Cen got into the car and checked and debugged the steering machine, gear, brake, clutch and accelerator and other control systems of the car one by one.

Then, they sat in the car and manipulated the vehicle, allowing everyone to push the vehicle behind and the car was easily pushed!

Soon after, we pushed six vehicles into the parking lot outside the cave.

There were six or seven maintenance trenches in the parking lot, and we pushed the vehicles onto these trenches one by one.

Then, Uncle Lan instructed his brothers to change the engine oil of the vehicle, and used a grease gun to butter the various bearing points of the vehicle! Fill the battery with battery water, fill the water tank with water, etc.

After all this work was done, Uncle Lan asked his brothers to start giving the first jeep, adding gasoline and debugging!

Uncle Lan said that the fuel can't be added wrongly, the jeep should be filled with gasoline, and the truck should be filled with diesel!

Uncle Lan brought an engine crank and asked Brother Jingtian to prepare to shake the car, and Uncle Lan observed the dashboard and operated the vehicle in the cab of the car!

After everything was ready, Brother Jing Tian started the car by putting it to work!

The car's engine makes a smooth and roaring sound!

The exhaust pipe at the back of the car emits a clean exhaust fume!

Everyone applauded and cheered with joy!

Soon, all six vehicles here were successfully operated in this way!

Uncle Lan said excitedly, "Teacher Cen! The operating indicators of the six vehicles are all very good! The charging effect of the battery is also good! Now let the engines of the six vehicles run for a while! Further observe the use of the engine, and by the way, charge the battery! ”

After the six vehicles were fully charged, Uncle Lan turned off the two trucks and parked them outside the door of the cave to prepare for loading and transporting a full set of equipment for the machine repair factory.

Uncle Lan and Teacher Cen took their brothers and drove four jeeps to the concrete road of the playground on the campus.

Uncle Lan took Brother Jingtian and Brother Lan Feng in a group, and Teacher Cen took Brother Zu Xing and Brother Wenchang in a group, and they took their brothers to practice driving on the cement road and familiarize themselves with the operating procedures and performance of the vehicle.

Before lunch, after more than two hours of practice, the four older brothers were able to drive the vehicle independently!

After the brothers parked their cars, everyone ate lunch brought from the Lan family on the grass in the playground, and everyone chatted while eating.

Teacher Cen smiled and said, "Alas! The vehicles are all good! That's it! In the afternoon, we transported all the equipment and materials to the Lan family compound! ”

Uncle Lan said, "Yes! However, this time back to Daling Town, due to the fact that we are all heavy cars! It is definitely not possible to walk the mountain road before, so you can only take the road at night! The road is dozens of kilometers longer than the mountain road! Now, there are still 10 tons of gasoline in the cave storehouse! 10 tons of diesel! The fuel is definitely enough! However, in the future, the license plates, driving licenses and driver's licenses of these vehicles will be a troublesome matter! ”

Teacher Cen said, "It doesn't matter! It turns out that the business license of our old machine shop, as well as the license plate of the vehicle, are still there! When the time comes, we will find a way to go to the relevant departments to update! These things are meant to be us! We want to be self-employed, can they not support it?! ”

After lunch, everyone returned to the cave warehouse, ready to move the equipment, tools, accessories and materials of the car repair shop.

In terms of equipment, there are lathes, planers, drilling machines, grinding machines, forging machines, diesel motor units and power distribution cabinets; In terms of tools, there is a complete set of fitter tools such as fitter workbench and tiger vise; There are also electric welding machines, acetylene gas cutting machines and other equipment and tools; A large number of various auto parts, metal materials, as well as consumables such as engine oil and butter for vehicle maintenance.

There are also more than twenty Karen barrels of gasoline, more than twenty Karen barrels of diesel, as well as several sets of fuel dispensers, dozens of empty oil barrels, etc.

Teacher Cen asked me, Xiaoda and Jingdi to make a list of materials, statistics and accounting.

After our work was completed, Uncle Lan and his brothers brought gloves, wrenches, crowbars, sockets, skids and rollers, as well as lifting tools such as tripods, wire ropes, and hand hoists in a small compartment in the cave, and they were ready to lift the equipment onto the truck!

Uncle Lan and Teacher Cen respectively drove two trucks into the cave warehouse.

They started hoisting, Uncle Lan is an amazing technician, hoisting is a very technical, and very dangerous job! As long as there is a slight carelessness, the lifting object and the mechanism will lose its balance and cause an accident!

Under Uncle Lan's careful guidance, he and his brothers finally loaded some of the equipment onto two trucks!

The two trucks are medium-duty trucks with a load capacity of 8 tons, and the total weight of equipment and materials here is more than 30 tons, and the fuel and other materials are also more than 30 tons, and it takes trucks to transport these materials four times!

After I registered, Uncle Lan took Brother Jingtian and Brother Lan Feng, and Teacher Cen took Brother Zu Xing and Brother Wenchang, they brought hoisting equipment and tools, etc., and the two groups of them drove two trucks loaded with equipment and materials back to the Lan family compound.

I, Xiaoda, Jing Di and Sister Wen Juan stayed at the door of the cave, and we were drinking water and chatting.

Xiaoda said, "Oops! This is no ordinary job! It's not easy to set up a machine repair shop! ”

Sister Wen Juan said: "Isn't that it? It takes physical strength, mental power, and the amount of time and money to spend! ”

Jing Di smiled and said, "Alas! In the future, let's open a photo studio! You don't need physical strength to take pictures, as long as our skills are good! ”

Xiaoda said, "Yes! This time our family is going to live in the town! Now, I don't see any future in reading! We should also find something that suits us! ”

Sister Wen Juan smiled and said, "There is no problem with this!" Now we have not only horses, but so many cars! When the time comes, we will drive the car to take pictures of others! That's sure to make a lot of money! ”

Xiaoda said: "I think it's better to ride a horse!" Driving consumes gas! Now, both petrol and diesel are expensive! And it's not easy to sell! ”

.....

After everyone moved the equipment, materials and oil in the cave, we cleaned up the garbage in the cave and moved the garbage to the outside of the cave for incineration and destruction!

Uncle Lan and his brothers went to the top of the mountain, closed the vents and lighting outlets, etc., and locked the big iron gate of the cave!

Everyone is back to moving equipment, ammunition and supplies from the warehouse!

At 6 p.m., we moved all the supplies and cleaned up the site, destroying all the garbage and waste!

After we took care of everything, Teacher Cen, Uncle Lan and his brothers drove back to the campus in two jeeps, two trucks, two jeeps had been parked in the courtyard of the Lan family.

After Teacher Cen and Uncle Lan went to inspect the warehouse, they locked the door of the warehouse!

Teacher Cen smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard! Let's go back to dinner! Ah Cai, Xiao Da, Jing Di and Wen Juan! The four of you drive back with two wagons! ”

The four of us drove the carriage out of the campus with their two jeeps.

After we arrived outside the campus gate, Uncle Lan locked the campus gate.

I think that in the future, we will rarely come here!

In this way, we took advantage of the night to leave the Guigu Military Academy and return to the Lan family compound.

Our cars and carriages entered the Lan family compound, where one side was neatly stacked with equipment and supplies, all covered in nylon canvas! On one side are two large trucks and two jeeps!

Because the courtyard of the Lan family is large enough, it can also park two jeeps and horse-drawn carriages.

After everyone parked the vehicles, wagons and supplies, Xiaoda and I led the horses to the stables to feed the horses.

After everyone had done their work outside the house, they entered the house together.

Aunt Lotus, Sister Caixia, Sister Li'an and Sister Lifen have already prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone!

After everyone ate and drank, everyone was very tired due to a busy day, and after washing, everyone went to bed and fell asleep.
