Chapter 162 The Tree Was Fallen

Upon hearing Li Dazhuang's tone, Sheng Xiping knew that the young man was also unsure of himself.

"You're really giving me a lot of trouble. You're a saw-wielder, don't you even realize when the saw hasn't cut through?"

Damn, this is going to drive Li Dazhuang crazy. Someone like this is supposed to be a hand sawer? He's just a useless piece of trash.

"Give me the chainsaw." Sheng Xiping was practically fuming with anger.

If none of them were qualified to saw off hands, Sheng Xiping would have hired someone like Li Dazhuang even if he were offered the job for free.

At this point, Li Dazhuang no longer dared to act arrogantly in front of Sheng Xiping and obediently handed the chainsaw to him.

Sheng Xiping started the chainsaw, avoiding the saw wedge, and pushed the chainsaw smoothly along the saw cut.

Sure enough, the center wasn't cut through.

It's probably because the chainsaw guide plate wasn't long enough, and when Li Dazhuang turned the saw around, the inside of the saw went astray.

From the outside, it looks like the cut has been made through, but there's actually still a piece in the center that hasn't been cut. No wonder this tree won't fall down.

Operating the chainsaw again at this point would be far more dangerous than before.

Sheng Xiping didn't dare to be careless. After Wang Jianshe and the others retreated to a safe position, he carefully used the saw to probe and cut inwards.

Sure enough, after the chainsaw moved forward for a while, the tree made a dull creaking sound.

Sheng Xiping immediately stopped sawing and pulled out the chainsaw.

The man took a few steps back, put down the chainsaw, and then picked up the steel ingot axe again, hammering the saw wedge inside.

After the saw wedge was fully driven in, the tree clearly made a cracking sound; this was the tree rustling.

Sheng Xiping immediately grabbed his steel ingot axe and chainsaw and quickly retreated to the right.

The tree initially tilted slowly, but once it reached a certain angle, the speed suddenly increased.

Then there was a loud thud, the tree fell to the ground, and the top bounced up again before falling down once more.

The snow on the ground was smashed and splashed up, the snow surface flying everywhere like smoke.

The ground shook twice from the huge impact.

Only after the snow had fallen again and the earth had returned to calm did Wang Jianshe and the others shout, "Safe!"

"Wow, Xiping, you're amazing. I was even thinking of going to find my master just now."

Looking at the fallen tree, Li Dazhuang finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Looking for your master? If your master came over and saw you doing this kind of work, he'd curse you to death." Sheng Xiping snorted.

Loggers all start as logging assistants and only become independent loggers after they have become skilled.

Old Zhang, who was in charge of sawing Li Dazhuang's hand, was known for his bad temper in the forest farm. Back then, Li Dazhuang was constantly being scolded by Old Zhang.

Just thinking about his master's ashen face made Li Dazhuang's heart clench, and he shrank his shoulders.

"I'm not bad at work, but even with such a big tree, I still managed to fall it in the end," Li Dazhuang said, sounding guilty.

"Did you take him down? Xiping came over and took him down."

If we were counting on you, this tree could have stood there through the New Year. And you actually felled it? You have the nerve to say that!

Wang Jianshe curled his lip, thinking, "This guy is really something, he doesn't even blush when he talks big."

"Didn't I finish all the work before that? Xiping only sawed a couple of times."

Li Dazhuang was still unconvinced and stubbornly argued back.

"Come on, the work you do is really mediocre."

"If I weren't unqualified to cut down trees without proper training and assessment, I wouldn't hesitate to hire someone like you, even if you offered me money."

Sheng Xiping couldn't help but roll his eyes and complain about him right in front of Li Dazhuang.

Li Dazhuang felt embarrassed by Sheng Xiping's words and wanted to leave, but he was afraid that Zhao Limin would scold him again.

Helpless, he could only angrily carry the chainsaw and go over to saw off the branches and tops of the fallen poplar tree.

Wang Jianshe could only shake his head helplessly as he watched Li Dazhuang huff and puff as he went to work.

"Xiping, tell the field staff about it later."

Next year, those of us who can sign up to be sawers will sign up, and those who can sign up to be tractor drivers will sign up. We'll get training and assessments first, and then we'll see.

Regardless of whether they are formal employees or not, we need to have our own staff.

Without capable people in the work team, it simply won't work.

The educated youth team was like an unwanted stepchild, lacking everything, so they had to rely on themselves.

Their fathers were all experts in their respective fields.

They were exposed to this from a young age, and with their father's guidance, they knew more about logging than others.

The only problem right now is that I'm not a full-time employee, so I'm not qualified to do the work of a saw operator or tractor driver.

However, the educated youth team has to come up the mountain to work every year. Judging from the current situation, they will definitely have to form a separate work team next year.

We can't keep doing this next year, hiring some half-baked saw-off guy, can we? That's just too damn inconvenient.

"Yes, that is indeed a problem. I'll discuss it with Secretary Wang and the others later."

"There's no recruitment plan right now, so we don't need a formal position, but we still have to participate in all the necessary training." Sheng Xiping nodded.

The key point is that he didn't expect the forest farm to make such arrangements this year.

At this time in my past life, Sun Yunpeng and the others were still around.

The forest farm was worried that the educated youth from Songjianghe were too arrogant and might cause trouble, so they broke up the educated youth team and reorganized them into other work teams, where the older workers would keep an eye on them to prevent them from causing trouble.

When Sheng Xiping was reborn, many things happened. Sun Yunpeng and others were either killed or injured, and the male educated youth from Songjiang River all left.

It is estimated that the forest farm felt that the remaining educated youth were doing a good job, and Sheng Xiping also performed exceptionally well, so they simply outsourced the work and separated the educated youth team to work independently.

However, the educated youth team was not prepared in advance, and all sorts of problems arose when the time came.

Especially the saw handle; Li Dazhuang's handle is barely better than a piece of junk.

The two exchanged a few words, and over there, Li Dazhuang used a chainsaw to clean up the branches and tree stumps, preparing to use them for timber.

When Sheng Xiping and the others saw this, they hurriedly went over to keep an eye on it. Such a big tree, if the timber preparation wasn't done properly, all their efforts would be wasted.

The educated youth team only had one chainsaw; everything else was done manually. Logically, their work progress was slower than that of other work teams.

Don't forget, this is an independent accounting system, contracted out, where the more you do, the more you earn, so everyone is very motivated.

Therefore, the progress of this work is no worse than that of the other mechanical and chemical teams.

Although Li Dazhuang wasn't a very good worker, with Wang Jianshe and Zhang Zhijun urging him on, he didn't dare to dawdle too much.

Compared to the sawers in other work teams, who would cut timber for a couple of days and then run off to do other work, and often get into conflicts with tractor drivers, the educated youth were relatively peaceful.

"Hey, Xiping, have you heard? Something happened at the Second Construction Team."

Their saw-off hand was gnawed off by a bear.

That day, while everyone was working on the mountain, Chen Weiguo, who was working in the fields below, suddenly ran up and shouted loudly.
