Chapter 153 Farewell Ceremony
The two girls repeatedly assured each other that they would not cause any trouble, and then happily carried their luggage to the west room.
This left the Sheng family members with no choice but to shake their heads in resignation.
Wang Jianshe, ever mischievous, deliberately nudged Sheng Xiping's side, saying, "Be careful, your two younger sisters might try to steal you away on your wedding day."
Sheng Xiping was drinking water when Wang Jianshe's words almost made him spit it out.
This caused Sheng Xiping to cough uncontrollably.
"Stop talking nonsense. What time is it? Why aren't you going home to sleep? Are you staying at my house?"
Sheng Xiping found it strange. In the past, when his friends came over, whether it was for a meal or just a short visit, they would always talk about business if they had something to say, and go home early if they didn't.
But what time is it now? Wang Jianshe shows no sign of leaving.
"What do you mean I'm staying at your house? Can't I stay here and chat with my uncle and aunt a little longer?"
Wang Jianshe was clearly a little uncomfortable after Sheng Xiping said that, and his gaze involuntarily drifted towards Li Xue.
Who is Sheng Xiping? How could Wang Jianshe's little tricks possibly escape his notice?
Could this kid have taken a liking to Li Xue? I don't remember them ever having this relationship.
Well, not necessarily. After all, he went in the following year in his previous life, and he doesn't know much about what happened outside.
However, Wang Jianshe's wife in his previous life was not Li Xue; it seems that Li Xue later married someone else.
Could there still be a chance for these two?
Well, everyone has their own destiny, and Sheng Xiping doesn't want to interfere.
At most, he would tease Wang Jianshe or make a joke.
Perhaps feeling a little guilty after what Sheng Xiping said, Wang Jianshe glanced at the wall clock; it was past 8:30.
"Uncle, Aunt, it's getting late, so I'll head home now. You should get some rest too."
Li Xue, you should all get some rest too. Come visit me when you have time.
Wang Jianshe got up to say goodbye, put on his hat, and walked out.
Sheng Xiping escorted Wang Jianshe to the gate. After Wang Jianshe left, he turned around and closed the gate, using a large piece of wood as a bolt, securing it from the inside.
In the evening, several girls stayed on the kang (heated brick bed) in the west room, Sheng Liancheng and his wife stayed on the kang in the south room of the east room, and Sheng Xiping and his three brothers stayed on the kang in the north room.
A wooden pole hung from the ceiling of the south-facing kang (heated brick bed), with a curtain hanging from it. At night, pulling the curtain open effectively separated the room.
On October 27th, three formal production work teams from Qianchuan Forest Farm, along with a youth shock brigade composed of educated youth, and auxiliary production and logistical support teams, were deployed.
A large number of personnel are about to head to the mountain battlefield for combat.
At 8:30 a.m., all staff members gathered in front of their respective departments.
Everyone who went up the mountain was fully equipped, carrying luggage and belongings, and stood in neat rows.
Wang Jiachuan stood on a high platform outside the farm headquarters, speaking through a loudspeaker from the broadcasting room.
"Comrades, the winter mining and transportation production campaign is about to begin."
Nowadays, construction projects in various places require a large amount of timber, and as forestry workers, we bear a heavy responsibility.
Supporting national development is our bounden duty.
This year, we must complete the procurement and transportation tasks set by our superiors in full or even exceed them.
Let's strive to retain our honor as an advanced production unit at Qianchuan Forest Farm, and aim for a three-peat!
"Comrades, do you have confidence?" Wang Jiachuan shouted through a megaphone.
"Yes!" all the workers shouted in unison.
"What is our slogan?" Wang Jiachuan asked from above.
"Focus on construction and production, roll up your sleeves and work like crazy!"
"We'll eat by the mountain, sleep by the mountain, and not leave until our mission is complete!"
The crowd answered in unison, creating a truly overwhelming and powerful atmosphere.
"Okay, I won't waste any more time on nonsense. Let's all work together as one to ensure construction and production."
Comrades, I await your triumphant return from the mountain.
In this atmosphere, everyone was in high spirits, and Wang Jiachuan was so excited that his face turned red as he shouted loudly.
"Everyone, stand at attention, about-face, and march in step."
Following the command, everyone marched forward in unison, heading straight for the small train station.
The small train station area was even more lively, with colorful flags waving, drums beating, and songs playing over the loudspeakers.
The forest farm workers and their families, as well as the school students, were all waiting excitedly at the small train station.
On the railway, two diesel locomotives linked together pulled a train of "personnel transport," "overlord's circle," and "special three-board" locomotives, all loaded with supplies.
Red flags were displayed on the internal combustion engine and the carriage, with words such as "Youth Commando Team," "Advanced Production Unit," and "Advanced Production Model Worker" on them.
The carriages were covered with slogans, all of which were encouraging and inspiring. The sheer number of people on board was quite impressive.
The foremen of several work teams, along with their respective teams, boarded the small train one after another, while their families and students waved red flags and shouted slogans to see them off.
With a whistle, the small train, billowing black smoke, set off towards the mountain area within the three-line route, carrying all the workers and supplies.
The small train, loaded with workers and supplies, rattled along the railway from the forest farm to the operational area.
Currently, most forest farms still rely on rail transport, with very few using road transport.
In order to transport timber outwards faster and in greater quantities, the railway lines were extended as far as possible into the operational areas.
When the little train reaches the end of the third branch line, everyone gets off and has to carry their belongings a long way to reach this year's mountain area.
The camp for the workers was built in advance and occupied a large area of the mountain.
