Chapter 22 Tips and Beats
Luo Daqing saw that their steps had slowed down again, and reminded him in a rich voice:
“A mouth that grows under the soles of your feet? Hurry up! At this speed, we won’t be able to get home even after dark!”
“Ah? Is it so far away?”
“No! I’m so hungry!”
Complaining is a complaint, but everyone still quickened their pace.
Si Ningning was caught in the crowd and walked along the avenue for more than 40 minutes. Then he turned onto the trail and walked for another ten minutes. As the terrain gradually increased, the surrounding trees gradually became denser, and the environment became more and more quiet.
As we walked forward for a while, the chirping of flying insects and birds could be clearly heard, and the fragrance of forest flowers and the fragrance of earth continued to penetrate into our nostrils.
Si Ningning took a deep breath and realized that they had entered the territory of the mountain.
The mountainside trail at the foot of the mountain had enough space for two people to walk side by side, but the three of them seemed to be in a pinch. Although it was a little narrow, it was well-trodden and shiny, and it looked like it was often used by people.
To the left, close to the top of the mountain, the tree trunks are straight and dense, and the tree crowns are towering and densely covering the sky.
The mountain on the right slopes downwards, and the tree crowns are staggered. The sunlight falls on the mountainside path in an orderly manner through the gaps between the branches and leaves, dispersing the darkness of the deep forest.
Following the trend, you can see nothing else except the dense branches, leaves and tree trunks, but you can hear the clear sound of gurgling water.
The air is fresh and the ecology is excellent. It is a good place. Si Ningning looked around aimlessly.
“Is there a river below?”
Xu Shuhua asked.
“There are branches of the river on the other side of the mountain.”
Luo Daqing raised his chin diagonally forward, "There are many mountains here, and there are also many ditches in the gaps between the mountains and ravines. In the words of you educated people, they are mountain springs and streams." Jiling Brigade is the only one in Bahe Town Commune In the Huanshan Brigade, not only were the four production teams scattered, but the members of each production team also lived in scattered homes.
After receiving the news that educated youths were coming, Luo Daqing originally planned to arrange them to the second production team.
The land over there is spacious and there are more crops. We are sending people to help.
But among the educated youth there were several female educated youths, fair and frail. Not to mention helping, it would be nice not to be a hindrance. Moreover, they were all competing with each other, so Luo Daqing was not at ease again.
After thinking about it for a while, Luo Daqing changed his mind and went directly to the third production team instead of taking the long way to the brigade.
Compared with the other three production teams, the third production team has a slightly denser population base and is also the only production team with a self-organized security team.
Normally, the security team will patrol at fixed points to guard against big cats in the mountains.
These half-sized dolls can be arranged to go there, and you can take care of them a little bit.
While walking along the aisle, Luo Daqing told his younger brothers:
“There are big cats in the mountains, so don’t run into the mountains if you have nothing to do. If you want to go to town or somewhere, you have to go with a member of the commune. There are many winding mountain roads and intersections. It’s hard to find if you get lost.”
“There is no other work this season, just transplanting rice seedlings, growing sweet potatoes, and other more minor tasks, such as weeding, catching insects, and watering. These will then be sent to the production team, and the production team leader will make arrangements for you.”
"You get as many work points as you usually do, and the work points are converted into rations. In our place, whether it is a commune, a brigade, or a production team, everyone is treated equally and fairly. If you feel that you are being treated unfairly , you can go to my place and file a complaint, I will make the decision for you."
“But having said that, if you are dishonest and think of nonsense, you will be punished when the time comes, no matter who you are.”
