Lu Qingyang almost spit out the tea he had just drunk, and he quickly stopped smiling in shock.
"You'll understand all this when you grow up. Now all you need to worry about is eating well and growing up quickly!"
Lu Qingyang stuffed a cookie directly into her mouth. He really didn't know how to explain it to this little girl.
Fortunately, Shen Mo had something to eat, so she forgot the question she was about to ask.
…
The next day, when I opened the door, the snow had stopped and the outside was covered in silver.
Even so, as long as it doesn't snow, we still have to go to Qingshan Forest Farm to continue working.
Han Zhiqiang found that a tractor was still missing. He was extremely anxious and asked Lu Qingyang for help: "What's going on?"
"What can happen? It must be frozen!"
This time, Hu Shengli still volunteered to rush over, "I'll do it, I'll do it, this time I really know how to fix it!"
"You almost drove the tractor into a ditch last time. Will you really do it this time?"
Lu Qingyang just felt the cold air was oppressive. He had to take off his gloves to repair the tractor, as it was inconvenient to move with gloves on, but he felt cold.
Since someone was willing, he simply backed off a few steps.
"Then you fix it!"
He just carried his tools and went to the forest farm to work.
A smug smile spread across Hu Shengli's face, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart that he had finally found a good opportunity to show himself.
He must show his talents and perform well in front of those female educated youth.
Gu Ni deliberately approached Lu Qingyang and asked softly, "Comrade Lu, I heard that you went to Songling Town yesterday. What do you think of it?"
Lu Qingyang smiled and replied briefly: "It's quite lively."
Gu Ni suggested eagerly: "Then let's go together next time if we have a chance."
"OK."
Although his words were understated, they quietly planted a seed of expectation in Gu Ni's heart.
The mountain road became even more rugged and difficult to walk on due to the first snow. Everyone stepped carefully and occasionally had to reach out to hold on to the sturdy trees beside the road to prevent accidentally slipping into the crevices.
Gu Ni stumbled and almost slipped.
Lu Qingyang quickly helped her up and said, "Be careful."
늀This subconscious action made Gu Ni blush, "Thank you."
However, Ren Ziqiang, a male educated youth who had a crush on Gu Ni, discovered something.
Gu Ni always kept a distance from the other male educated youth, but she would always rush to talk to Lu Qingyang, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Ren Ziqiang deliberately moved closer to Gu Ni and said, "I'll help you walk, so you won't fall easily."
Gu Ni quickly took a few steps back, with a clear boundary in her tone: "Comrade Ren, I can walk by myself, and besides, we gay men and women should keep a distance from each other."
The deliberately opened distance was as clear and piercing as the cold wind in winter, which added a bit to the depression in Ren Ziqiang's heart.
Lu Qingyang had no time to pay attention to the subtle changes in the faces of the people around him. His eyes were deeply attracted by the world wrapped in silver.
The cold is real and the beauty is undoubtedly stunning.
Ice ridges have appeared on the trees, and the whole mountain is white as far as the eye can see.
The branches of the trees were covered with crystal clear icicles, and the entire mountain was gently covered with pure white snow.
Although this scene is breathtakingly beautiful, it also invisibly increases the difficulty of felling trees.
Even wearing thick gloves, my fingertips could still feel the biting cold, and even my movements became slow.
Since the tractor could not climb the hill, people could only use simple sleds to move the wood, which was also a sled.
This was quite new to Lu Qingyang; he had seen sledding on TV before, but had never seen it in person.
Due to the climate here, the horses raised here are a breed unique to Daanling, and they are called forest horses.
Handsome in appearance, strong in physique, with firm and plump muscles, able to endure hard work, not afraid of severe cold, and able to withstand cold and moisture.
Therefore, here, horses are also the most loyal companions of the mountain people.
There were more than ten horses raised in the Youth League Home, and each villager also had two or three horses at home.
The feed for these dozen or so horses was usually provided by the educated youth in turns.
When the weather is warm, there is plenty of fodder in the forest farm, so there is no need to worry about their food problems.
But when it snowed, most of the plants were frozen to death, and they could only eat hay, but hay was far from enough for the horses to survive the cold.
They must be supplied with a proper supply of fresh grass, and when the weather gets cold, they must be given some dried meat from time to time.
As luck would have it, in November and December it was the turn of the newly arrived educated youth to feed the babies.
Han Zhiqiang had already told him about this matter earlier, that one person would be responsible for the food of two horses.
Lu Qingyang was not worried. Even though there was no fresh grass outside, there was plenty of grass in his space.
He also had some jerky and fur accumulated, so it was no problem to feed the forest horses.
He was responsible for the feeding of two horses, one male and one female, and the names of the horses were also random.
The female is called wheat, and the male is called sorghum. Now they are pulling wood not far away.
On the first day of snowfall, their work was extremely hard. Not only was it freezing cold, but they also had to deal with various risks.
Team leader Han kept reminding them: "You must pay attention to safety. It's okay if you don't get enough work points, but you must keep your personal safety!"
Just as he finished speaking, a tall pine tree fell down. Due to the snow, the angle of its fall was slightly off.
Lu Qingyang was quick to pull Han Zhiqiang aside, otherwise the tree would have really crushed him to death.
Han Zhiqiang's heart was pounding with fear, and it took him a long time to calm down. As soon as he recovered, he started yelling.
The educated youth who made the mistake had a pale face and was filled with fear. He kept mumbling an apology: "Team Leader Han, I'm so sorry. I... I was so careless. I never expected this to happen. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."
"What the hell is wrong with you? Can't you be more careful? You are playing with your life! If anything happens to me, you will have to pay with your life, don't you know? I have emphasized many times that safety comes first, why can't you remember? Can you use your brain a little more? How about this, I will deduct three work points from you, so that you can remember it!"
Upon hearing this, the educated youth looked disheartened and wanted to plead again, but was stopped by the Korean leader with a wave of his hand.
"Instead of wasting time talking nonsense, you might as well get down to work! Pay attention and don't make any more mistakes."
After that, Han Zhiqiang nodded towards Lu Qingyang gratefully, "You reacted very quickly. Thank you. You saved my life."
"It's a piece of cake."
Lu Qingyang was also afraid. The forest was beautiful, but it was also full of dangers.
Although he has a golden finger, he still has to be careful.
This scene was also seen by someone nearby.
Han Zhiqiang trembled his hands slightly and fumbled for a cigarette, but he couldn't light the match.
Lu Qingyang took the match, flicked it lightly, and a flame leaped out, lighting the cigarette for Han Zhiqiang. "Captain Han, you should take a break and calm down."
Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will not feel good.
"Yeah." Han Zhiqiang lit up a cigarette, and couldn't help but look up to Lu Qingyang a little bit, and some thoughts began to stir in his mind.
