In addition to them, there are naturally some former educated youth in the Youth League.

The captain walked over slowly, followed by two men who were shivering with cold.

Looking at the two people's current situation, Lu Qingyang knew that they had suffered a lot yesterday.

Captain Wu cleared his throat and asked, "Is everyone here?"

The fat girl responded repeatedly: "It's all right, it's all right, this is the proof."

Captain Wu looked at the names on the certificate and found that there were 3 new educated youth, four men and three women.

"You newcomers, just follow the old educated youth. By the way, Team Leader Han, come here. I'll leave these people to you. Take them to the mountains to cut wood later. You'll also be in charge of the arrangements for the people."

He waved at a young educated youth wearing glasses.

Han Zhiqiang nodded and responded, "Okay."

Captain Wu continued, "Here you have to chop firewood on the mountain yourself, grow your own vegetables, and I see you've brought your bedding. We work on a work point system here. The more you work, the more points you get. Work points can be exchanged for rice and flour. If you don't work, you'll go hungry! Go to the team later to get three bags of corn flour, and the rest is up to you."

"There's only three grams of corn flour, and it took a month." The fat girl sighed.

"We only provided corn flour in your first year. The old educated youth have to rely on themselves now. You are complaining that there is no corn flour in the past three years. Remember, you came here to suffer, and I am not here to enjoy happiness!"

"And the most serious thing is, if you steal from your fellow villagers and get caught, the punishment will be very severe."

It was probably Captain Wu who underestimated them. There were so many educated youth coming here, and there were all kinds of people.

There was one who stole a chicken from a fellow villager's house and secretly stewed it for food, and even admitted it when he was caught.

Some male educated youth were even more excessive. They flirted with village girls and then left when their time was up. The girls they left behind were already pregnant and were having affairs with other men and women.

There were many other messy things that gave Captain Wu a headache just thinking about them.

"The people have been brought here, you guys take care of yourself here."

Han Zhiqiang took off his glasses and wiped off the mist on them. "Let me introduce you. I'm Han Zhiqiang, your team leader. There are about 30 to 40 people here, including you. But life here will be hard. I hope you are all mentally prepared. If you are hardship, you will cry and go home! If you encounter any problems in the future, you can report them directly to me."

He looked down at his watch. "It's too late. We'll be leaving soon. Wear something warmer, gloves, and hats and follow us up the mountain! Leave your luggage in the yard first, and we'll assign you a yard when we come back."

After hearing this, Lu Dazhi and Hu Shengli were very upset. They started working as soon as they arrived, without even taking a break.

The rest of the old educated youths came out of the yard one after another, all of them with their heads hung low and looking lifeless.

Han Zhiqiang shouted, "What's going on so early in the morning? Wake up and get to work."

Lu Qingyang knew that logging here was really tiring, especially the repetitive work day after day, which made people feel numb.

He observed that the educated youth here were all pale and thin, and the cotton jackets they wore were all tattered.

The temperature difference between day and night is quite large here, and it is warmer at noon.

Lu Qingyang quickly saw that they all carried water bottles, so he approached Han Zhiqiang and asked politely, "Team Leader Han, would you like some hot water?"

"By the way, the educated youth boiled the hot water themselves. When you drink hot water in the future, remember to boil it yourself, chop the firewood yourself, and fetch the water yourself. Today is your first time here, and there is hot water in the pot. You can use it yourself. You will take care of it yourself in the future."

Jiang Wanwan, a girl who had been spoiled since childhood, looked at such backward living conditions, where even the use of water was not her own responsibility, and suddenly felt worried about her future.

She felt a little regretful for her impulsive decision.

At that time, she thought that since Lu Qingyang took the initiative to come to Liuxi Brigade, this must be a very bad place.

Look at this Youth Farm Home. To put it nicely, it's a yard. What's the difference between it and a pigsty? Thinking of this, she felt too aggrieved.

But soon her action attracted the attention of other male educated youths, "This new female educated youth is so beautiful."

"How beautiful she is, she looks like a fairy, look at her little face."

"What's your name, comrade? Let me get your stuff for you! Be polite."

Seeing the person he liked surrounded by attentive men, Hu Shengli squeezed his way in and said, "Wanwan, I'm here to help you get your things!"

"Wanwan, let me help you with the hot water!"

"Have you had breakfast? There are some steamed buns here. Would you like to have a bite?"

Hu Shengli took out a flattened steamed bun from his pocket, which looked hard.

Jiang Wanwan politely refused, "I've used it, but I'm hungry."

She was actually cold and hungry, but looking at the steamed bun in her dirty hands, how could she have an appetite to eat it?

Lu Qingyang ignored them and filled a pot with hot water. When he came out of Uncle Tie's place in the morning, he steamed a few corn cobs. He and Sun Qianjin each had three cobs, which should be enough for their meals.

In fact, despite this, he still had a bag of peach cakes with sesame seeds, a bag of golden rooster cookies, and a handful of candies in his pocket, so it was enough to eat.

Han Zhiqiang reminded: "Hurry up, the time is almost up."

Lu Qingyang quickly caught up with the team carrying a thermos.

Qingshan Forest Farm in Daanling is a forest farm that has just been prepared for development. The transportation tools have not been built yet, and the transport trucks have not been allocated. For the time being, people can only walk up the mountain.

The road up the mountain was steep, and it took everyone a lot of effort to climb up to the forest farm.

When we arrived at the forest farm, we saw a completely different scene.

The view in front of me suddenly opened up, and tall pine trees stood before me. Tall trees were lined up one after another, stretching as far as the eye could see to the end.

Occasionally, you can hear the sound of wind whistling in the woods, and it is indeed colder in the mountains.

A simple shed has been built on the mountain, which should be the camping site used for rest on weekdays.

The old educated youth who were familiar with the process took the assigned tools and were ready to start working.

Han Zhiqiang pointed to a road in the distance and said, "There is a railway being built there for transporting timber. When it is completed, we can walk up. These tools are for you. Since you are new here, watch how others do it. Do some simple work first, such as pruning trees. Remember, stay away from trees when they are about to fall. Being careful can cost lives."

Everyone was stunned by what happened.

Only Lu Qingyang was looking at the endless green and yellow mountains and forests.

Standing on a high place and looking out, I can't help but sigh at the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland, how magnificent they are.

In the past, I was so focused on school and preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam that I had no time to go out.

The cold air seems to be filled with the fragrance of leaves, a unique scent that belongs to nature.

He originally studied botany, but now his occupational disease came back, so he squatted down and observed the wild plants on the ground.

The time they came was a good opportunity. In another ten or so months, the mountains would completely enter winter.

So now you can still see some green plants.

Far away, the felled trees have been sorted and are waiting to be transported down after the railway into the mountain is built.

In addition to logging, Han Zhiqiang reminded them, "You also have to eat lunch in the mountains. You can get some game during your breaks. If you give the game to the hunting team, it will count as work points. You can also keep it for yourself. However, there are no people living in this forest, so you can only hunt in this area. Don't go too far away, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

"What's so dangerous about it?" Hu Shengli patted his chest. "You are here. You have been practicing shooting with your father since you were a child. You are always accurate."

Han Zhiqiang has seen many new educated youth who like to show off: "There are blind bears and wolves inside, the kind that eat people!"
