Chapter 150 Winter Sports Begins
Sheng Xiping received an extra sum of money for the snakeskin compared to others, totaling approximately four hundred.
However, he bought a lot of things at the store today and spent some money, and then gave the rest to Zhang Shuzhen.
"You don't need to give me all of it. Just give me half, like before."
Zhang Shuzhen kept half of the money and wanted to return the rest to Sheng Xiping.
My son has a girlfriend now, and there are many things he needs to spend money on. He can't possibly take his girlfriend out to buy something and then have to come back to ask his mother for money, can he?
"Mom, you take it first. I'm living in a collective household now, and there are a lot of people there, so I can't carry too much money."
Sheng Xiping refused the money. He only needed to keep ten or twenty yuan in his pocket for spending money, and he would keep the rest at home for peace of mind.
With so many people in a collective household, it's impossible to say that all of them are good.
Besides, they don't lock their doors during the day, and there are a lot of people going there. It would be such a waste if someone lost their money.
Zhang Shuzhen agreed, so she left ten yuan for her son and put the rest away for later.
"Then I'll save it for you first, and when you get married, we'll see what else we can add."
Zhang Shuzhen put the money away before calling the children from the west room out for dinner.
After dinner, Sheng Xiping went out and delivered the money to Gao Haining and the Liu family.
Gao Haining readily accepted the money, but the Liu family refused to take it back.
Liu Yujiang said that Erlang Shen and General Hei had done a lot of work for the Liu family, but Sheng Xiping never mentioned wanting to share anything.
Daqing and the others would occasionally go over to help out, but Sheng Xiping would insist on paying them. This wouldn't do; the Liu family couldn't accept it under any circumstances.
Sheng Xiping talked at length, but in the end Qin Qiuyan spoke up, and the Liu family left the money.
But as soon as Sheng Xiping left, Qin Qiuyan told her son to use the forty yuan to buy grain and send it to the Sheng family later.
After Gao Haining got married, the parents of the Sheng and Zhou families met and verbally agreed on the marriage.
The Sheng family moved from their old house to a new one. They sold off everything they had acquired that autumn, except for the bear gall bladder they had obtained the second time. They were basically not in the mood for anything else.
On the 23rd, it snowed quite heavily again. After the heavy snow, the temperature dropped, and it suddenly got cold.
The forest farm leaders immediately convened a meeting and, after discussion, decided to begin the winter timber harvesting and transportation work ahead of schedule.
The forestry bureau's timber production is generally divided into three stages: upper, middle, and lower.
The upper section refers to logging in the forest, while the middle section involves transporting the logged timber from the mountain to the timber yard.
The next section generally refers to timber being transported directly to various locations, or being transported to various locations after simple processing at lumber mills.
Of these, the logging in the upper section is the most important.
Without timber production, everything else is in vain.
Logging in forest areas is generally divided into clear-cutting and selective logging.
Clear-cutting means felling all the trees in an entire forest, regardless of size.
Selective felling involves cutting down large trees within a forest compartment that meet the requirements, based on calculations of forest canopy density.
Of course, such canopy density measurement and logging area design are all handled by professional designers.
After the design team conducts measurements and calculations, forest compartments are delineated, and markers will be placed around the logging area. Forestry workers can then directly log according to the marked boundaries.
After the logging area is designated, the advance team of the forest farm will go into the mountains to cut down log trails, lay branch lines for small railway tracks, build temporary camps for the mountain area, and so on.
These tasks were prepared in advance by the forest farm's official employees starting in early October.
After the snowfall, tractors were used to pave the way for winter harvesting, and the winter harvesting and transportation officially began.
As a supplement to the formal employees, the educated youth teams would also be incorporated into the production teams and go to work in the mountains at this time.
"We just finished a meeting. The winter harvesting and transportation in the forest will begin soon. Our educated youth team will be going into the mountains to work with the regular workers."
As soon as the forest farm assigned the task, Sheng Xiping immediately called all the educated youth team members together for a meeting.
"This year's logging area is quite far in from the third branch line, so the site requires all logging and transportation workers to go into the mountains and stay there."
Today is the 25th, and we'll be going up the mountain the day after tomorrow, so everyone should go back and pack their clothes and luggage tomorrow and the day after.
If we start climbing the mountain now, we won't have a chance to come down until the end of the year.
Sheng Xiping was the leader of the educated youth team and also the leader of the winter mining and transportation youth commando team. He led the educated youth team.
The notice was given, and not only the educated youth team, but all the workers participating in the winter harvest and transportation were put to work.
Every winter, the entire organization works as a unified whole, focusing on winter harvesting and transportation.
At this critical moment, no one can afford to falter; we must act immediately to prepare for the victory of the winter transportation production campaign.
From the end of October until the end of the year, all logging workers and logistics support teams will be stationed in the mountains for more than three months.
Winter logging is a challenging task. To complete the logging mission, many work teams work in two shifts, around the clock, which is extremely hard work.
However, people in this era have a very strong sense of collective honor. In order to successfully complete the mining and transportation tasks, many people devote themselves wholeheartedly to the production work.
Moreover, everyone in the forest farm, from top to bottom, including the students, is very supportive of the forest farm's work.
Every year after the winter sports season ends, the bureau holds a commendation meeting.
If a forest farm exceeds its production targets and receives the honorary title of "Advanced Unit," everyone in the forest farm will feel proud.
Especially when traveling by the mini-train, if someone mentions a certain forest farm, everyone will hear that it was an advanced unit last year and will praise it.
