Soon, the team organized the families of those soldiers to engage in side jobs, planting vegetables and sugarcane, so that they could have something to do and income, and their hearts gradually settled down, and later they all became state workers.

Our singles group is full of talents, some can play musical instruments, some can speak allegro, some can sing, and when they have nothing to do after dinner, I encourage them to play musical instruments and have fun.

With music, there is spring, and there is joy. When the joy comes, the troubles disappear. Hu Guozhang can play the erhu and pipa, Li Sangou and I can play the harmonica, Chen Dianqing can play the violin and Jinghu, Meng Yichang can play the accordion, and all kinds of musical instruments have settled in the frontier with his master. A spontaneous musical instrument "performance group" was born out of the boring life of making fun in suffering.

At first, everyone played instrumental soloists, each playing their own familiar tunes, and gradually everyone played together, plus a conductor, and there was also a lot of trouble, like a symphony orchestra, which attracted many comrades-in-arms to watch. With a band, it's time to wait for the backing singer. The first person to come to our club was Li Shaoqin. After Hu Guozhang and Chen Dianqing adjusted the strings, Xiao Li sang generously. She learned a lot of songs in elementary school, and her voice is good, and it sounds really charming. With a female accompaniment, it is naturally better to have a male accompaniment, and the "merry little student" like Li Sangou came in handy, and the male and female duets sang "with taste". Sometimes Hu Guozhang accompanied, Li Sangou and Li Xiaoqin sang, and the three of them cooperated very well and won everyone's applause. Every night, the piano sound of the club sounded, the singing was loud, and the night owl did not scream, and Huang Zhiniang stopped singing. The melodious singing and piano echoed in the vast mountain pass.

Accustomed to nature, every day after dinner, the moon is in the sky, the breeze is blowing, the music in the singles' shed is raised, and the singing voice is tactful, adding a bit of vitality to this silent valley. And every time Xiao Miao Nu is not absent, her husband is a worker and peasant, he doesn't understand the beauty of music, and rarely comes to participate, Xiao Li drags him from time to time, maybe to accompany him, maybe to let her husband learn and have fun. Sometimes we take turns singing. I am the most lame, with a broken voice, not rhymed, and the sound of a male duck is difficult to hear. Sometimes I can't help it, so I sing "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions" to deal with it. What I sang more eloquently was "Revolutionary Soldiers Are Always Young", and I just made up the numbers and made a lot of fun. Sometimes everyone forced me, so I pulled Lao Wang to sing the "March of the Big Knife" together, because Hu Guozhang and Chen Dianqing played the piano well, they were also quite complacent. Sometimes we deliberately go out of tune to make everyone laugh, as long as we can be happy!

With such an event, more and more people like to come to the team, and the whole team seems to be more vigorous and energetic. Seriously, there was really no entertainment life at that time. Later, the Dai girls came together every night to sell sweet sake lees, two dimes a bowl, the business was good, and they also watched everyone sing and play musical instruments until the moon set and the stars were separated. The captain said, "It's good to have fun for everyone, that's good." "Every time he came to participate, he smiled. Music really makes people younger, happy and forgetful!

The rainy season came earlier than in previous years, and the whole team had to plant 100 acres of coffee trees. In ten days, it was completed. In order to ensure quality and quantity, in principle, whoever digs the hole will be planted by whom, so that he does not dare to be sloppy. Later, I heard that the survival rate reached 95%, and I was praised by the field, and I also won a mobile red flag.

At the end of the planting, in order to strengthen the leadership, the team formally established a party branch, with Wang Laijin as the secretary, Captain Pan and the "management captain" as the principal and deputy captains, and the statisticians as usual.

Lao Wang is the oldest (the longest party and military age), he was born to beg for food, and participated in the Eighth Route Army in Shandong, he is very loyal to the party's cause and has a strong organizational discipline. There is not much culture, there is little language in ordinary times, there are not many ways to work, and he can not always be promoted, according to his character and experience, he can be awarded the rank of lieutenant battalion, and only the rank of second lieutenant is awarded when he is in the preparatory school, for which he has been in a mood. He has been serving as the branch secretary in the team, and later he was not promoted to a first-level leadership position on the field, and he was elected as the people's representative of Jingshi County. In 1978, I went to Jingshi to visit and met him and his wife, Lao Wang was already the father of three children, and he still remembered me as the team leader. We were very happy to see each other, and their lives were much better than we used to be. I said, "Thank you for your great support when I was the leader of the team in 58 years, we are really good comrades-in-arms who share weal and woe." "This is the first time we have seen each other after 20 years of separation, but unfortunately we don't have time to catch up, and we haven't seen each other since.

At the beginning of September 1958, the 1st Division of the XPCC (Jingshi Farm) selected five comrades to go to Chuncheng to study accounting business, and I was selected.

On the day of leaving, the group held a small banquet for me, everyone got together, bought some side dishes, a few bottles of wine, killed a chicken, a duck, invited the branch secretary, the captain and the team cadres, the group leader to lively, a total of half a year of combat friendship, everyone is very interested, I toast to everyone, I wish everyone good health, fight hard, do not lose the demeanor of the soldiers, and strive to be the first in the audience. After the meeting, I instructed the new team leader Lao Meng to unite everyone and care about the sick number, if there are too many chickens and ducks in the group, they can be sold to the team at a discount.

Lao Meng and I have both worked together in the preparatory school, he is in the logistics department, I am in the training department, we have been friends for many years, we are close comrades-in-arms, everyone chose him as the team leader, it can be seen that he is popular. Later, I heard that Bi Xiaozhou, Chen Dianqing, Li Sangou and Yang Bolin of the Fourth Team had all been transferred to work in the Corps Branch and the General Bureau, and only one person was still in the team because of the relationship between men and women, and the situation is unknown.

There were more than a dozen people from Jingshi and other groups who went to study accounting business, and the Shinong Reclamation Branch sent people and cars to send us directly to Chuncheng to study, and I never returned to Jingshi Farm again.

The accounting training class of the General Administration of Nanzhao Provincial Production and Construction Corps is located at the foot of the picturesque Longmen Mountain in the west mountain of Chuncheng, which is close to the big lake and has a quiet environment. We rented a house from the Labor Reform Bureau as a temporary school, where we received training in accounting for several months.

There was only one lesbian in our group, she was delegated, she was good at business, so she became our team leader. I don't know anything about accounting.

The teacher, who had read accounting and statistics books and had been engaged in accounting work for a long time, was an accounting expert, and he didn't use books at all during class, but had a lecture outline and was very organized. From the importance of accounting, he talked about the relationship between borrowing and lending, cost accounting, and the valuation of economic benefits...... Wait a minute. There are exercises every day, and I can't find the way when I am new, so I am often tutored by the group leader.

I studied the business of accounting in agriculture, which is much more complicated than industrial accounting. As the course became more and more difficult, even the female team leader frowned. Half a month later, the exam question is: cost accounting of pig raising. From suckling pigs, piglets, shelf pigs, fattening pigs, sales pigs, herd pigs, ....... The cost of raising each pig, transfer-in, transfer-out, consignment commitment, external settlement, etc., must do a good job in loan accounts, so many links, we are confused, and even the female team leader can't figure out this confused account. The other groups were not better than us, and some of the people who came to learn did not have much education, so they couldn't continue to learn, so they slipped back to their original units without permission.
