In the winter, Accountant Jiang came to the dormitory to find four workers to go up the mountain, and Dapeng volunteered to sign up, citing the difficult family life. It is dangerous to go up the mountain and pump the forest with the tractor, because Dapeng wears short-sighted glasses and does not agree.

Accountant Jiang said: "This is winter, the mountains are more than 30 degrees below zero, and it is very dangerous for you to wear glasses and hang frost." ”

Dapeng said: "If you don't go to only 35 yuan a month, it's difficult to feed a family of three, you can rest assured that I will never have an accident." ”

After Dapeng repeatedly explained and asked for instructions, in the end, Accountant Jiang still agreed to let him enter the mountain.

Dapeng took Xiaoli from his mother-in-law to be Huaying's companion. He boarded the car with his luggage and the other three and ran to the deep mountains and forests three hundred miles away. In that harsh winter, in addition to the road where traffic is often driven, more than a foot of heavy snow blocked the primeval mountain forest. The workers lived in a large hut made of logs, and in the middle of the house there was an old oil drum without a cover, and every day it burned the Huanghua pine station trunk (a dead tree lying horizontally), which was brought back with a wire rope when the tractor pumped the forest, sawed into sections with a chain saw, and then split into wood with an axe to burn the fire, so hot that people could only wear trousers. It's a pity that those yellow pines without knots, I don't know how many good wood will be burned this winter?

Four people went up the mountain to hook up with the tractor to pump the forest, but three of them were injured at work, their fingers and legs were broken, and one of them made the wire rope knock his head unconscious, only Dapeng followed the tractor captain into the mountain again. The trees that had been knocked down by the chainsaw were lying in the snow. The captain parked the car in the open space in reverse, Dapeng used a wire rope to tie the roots of the tree, with the S hook to lame, the two trees can be connected together, sometimes a few wire ropes can pull six trees, in the command of Dapeng, the tractor started to pull those trees to a few miles away from the field, the field of the exclusive person to carry the wood on the stack, as long as the S hook is removed, the tractor pulls the wire rope and then goes to pump the forest, but the woodland is all over the mountains and fields a few miles away from the field.

The oil pan of the tractor was buried by the snow and the tree stump was cracked and leaked, and the locomotive captain had to go to the river 120 miles away to pick up the goods, so he asked Dapeng to stay alone in the deep mountains, specifically watching that the water temperature gauge could not be lower than 30 degrees. Dapeng alone became more and more afraid, if it was even more terrible when it got dark, in addition to the endless mountains and forests, there was also the threat of black bears and mountain wolves? He dragged the starting wheel twice with a machine rope and did not start, so he imitated the captain's method, poured a cup of gasoline into the fuel injector and then pulled the starting plate, and the tractor really started on fire. Dapeng drove for the first time and stepped on the clutch to hang the gear, stepped on the accelerator and released the clutch car moved, he mastered the direction with two levers, and hung two poles on the way back, which Cheng wanted to drive again was actually four gears, the tractor was like a wild horse, the roar shook the earth, when the tractor was driven to the dormitory, the workers inside and outside the tent were stunned, they all thought that something big had happened to the captain. Since then, the captain has let the Roc drive the empty car.

Before the Spring Festival, he completed the task and went down the mountain to go home, Hua Ying was very excited to see Dapeng, he earned a year's salary in three months, which was in exchange for his life. In the summer, Dapeng asked to go to the mountains to clear the forest, and after the leadership agreed to his request, he finally reached the second time he entered the mountain. No matter what tree is left in two meters, 3.5 yuan per acre of forest, and more than 3 acres can be cleared in a day. There are mountain rules on the mountain, and the tree stump cannot be sitting, and it is said that it is the seat of the mountain god. Each person saws the tree with a crooked target, enlarges the tree and shouts the mountain: "Fall down the mountain... Falling to the ... "So that's for safety, especially since it's not allowed to be picked indiscriminately."... Dapeng not only earned a salary of nearly 300 yuan this time, but also learned the instinct of clearing forests and cutting trees.

On September 9, 1976, ** died suddenly, and the whole country fell asleep in grief. Then, led by Hua Guofeng, Ye Jianying, and **, the Gang of Four was smashed in one fell swoop, and people were excited about this earth-shaking change. Instructor Chen is still tired of tactics, he learns until the second half of the night, and he has to go to work at six o'clock in the morning, and people only learn to be lazy by watching him, and even the carpentry room and chainsaw man supervise him to come and work again.

In winter, Dapeng has to go to the mountains to cut down big trees, in order to make money, the son of Accountant Jiang and the nephew of Dr. Yang are still a deaf and mute person entrusted to him to follow. Dapeng wants to cut down a large oak tree more than 60 centimeters thick, first clear the snow around the tree and lay a good safety road, look at the center of gravity of the tree under the head saw to be low, pull to the back of the second saw to be 20 cm high, the purpose is to prevent archery when the tree falls, that will wear the dead. The second saw has pulled half of the tree but does not fall, which is called sitting in the temple is the most dangerous.

Suddenly, Dr. Yang's nephew ran over, he was deaf and dumb, so frightened that Dapeng held him down in the safety road, and Accountant Jiang's son was also coming, Dapeng stopped and shouted at him. The big tree can't run, as long as you run, the big tree will hit you with the wind. Some of them threw hats or clothes with the wind, leading the wind to cause the trees to fall. Still no, only add wedges, while taking care of the deaf, while smashing the wedges with an axe at the upper saw. The tree that sits in the hall sways back and forth, you look scary, one wedge can't hit the second, and the big tree finally falls.

In the spring, the task was finally completed safely, especially Dr. Yang's nephew and Accountant Jiang's son were also safe and sound, and Dapeng could go back to the errand.

On the second day after Dapeng returned to the home of the third battalion of the Corps, Hua Ying brought Yaqin to the house, perhaps because of illness, Yaqin was not only thin on her face, but also wearing a simple blue shirt and black pants, and she was no longer as heroic as when she was in the regiment headquarters. She knitted a wool shoulder for Hua Ying, and knitted a scarf for Dapeng as a wedding anniversary, maybe she secretly knitted it at her mother's house, he already had no job and no salary, and how precious every needle and thread came from her, the so-called souvenir symbolized Yaqin's life, and Dapeng and Hua Ying took the favorite gift with tears of excitement.

Maybe Li Dabao and Director Wang are on a business trip again, otherwise she wouldn't dare to come to the house as a guest, how difficult it was during that period, Hua Ying insisted on staying at home to eat at home, and intended to go out to the store to buy some snacks. Yaqin deliberately stroked Xiao Hongli's hand, but said with ulterior motives: "Brother Zhang, you should also have a child, and you shouldn't give up your family to go to the mountains to earn money because of your living difficulties." Since you are married to Hua Ying, you should have your own children, and that is a complete home!"

Yaqin's words pierced Dapeng's heart like a needleprick, and he was speechless, only tears poured up, maybe this came from the relationship that he hadn't forgotten. Maybe there was no Cai Baozhi's obstruction, maybe there was no Li Dabao's accusation, maybe there was no Dapeng's intention to have a fake marriage with Wang Luming's girl, maybe there was no conflict between his stepparents that led to half a year in prison, maybe there would not have been Yaqin and Li Xiangqian's tragic marriage, and finally Yaqin would not have lived a painful life today.

Hua Ying came back and began to stir-fry and cook, there was nothing to entertain in that era, and the ordinary lunch was so embarrassing, and it was Yaqin's proposal that changed the restrained situation after the meal.

Yaqin said: "I came today to make up for my promise, which means that I participated in your wedding, we should be happy, we should forget everything in the past, maybe we don't have many chances to meet again, or let Brother Zhang tell us the story of the past, okay? ”

Dapeng knew that Yaqin's words were serious, and after thinking about it, he started with the case of Xia Chenglin's second arrest and imprisonment.
