Long Emotional Story Series: Family Affairs Twenty-Five: Youth Years

Of course, living in the upper bunk has the advantage of living in the upper bunk. First of all, live in the house of the hundred and ten people, eat hard every day to sell vigorously, there is no bathing facilities, whether it is winter or summer, sooner or later is to take a washbasin to the stream behind the shed to wipe the face with salty cold water, a lot of lazy old men even have not even wiped their faces and feet on the head and sleep, and then say that it is dark at night, no one pees on the corner of the wall... So inside and outside the house, there is a commotion, you say there is no messy weird smell?! And when I live in the upper bunk, I naturally have the superiority of the upper bunk. For example, in the morning and evening, you can open the window for ventilation, you can see the scenery of the back mountain through the window glass, and you can't stand to see the "cattle herding girls" in the nearby village leisurely wandering in the back mountain - this is definitely a good thing for us who can't see women for a year and a half. Remember, people often mention that the "cow herding girl" has a big, strong ass, and there is a thick braid dragged to the ass behind her, while herding cattle while knitting sweaters, walking up and throwing big braids in front of and behind her, big ass twisting and twisting the wind to swing willow-like Tido wind... People often talk about all kinds of "cattle girls", but I was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time, although I had entered the age of imagination, I was still ashamed to talk about these "wind and snow" things in front of adults, even if I thought about it, I could only think about it in private and in dreams.

It's hard and tiring to work here. After the stonemasons blow down the mountain stone with explosives, we have to carry the stone from the stone yard to the construction site a few kilometers away by shoulder picking and trolley, and then manually mix the sand and cement into concrete or mortar to build embankments and pour concrete... The embankment constructed should be three or five meters wide at the base, six or seven meters high, and the lower width is narrow and the upper wall is narrow into a trapezoidal wall. Such a huge project in addition to simple mixers, trolleys (these simple machinery is not much, so there is no enough at all), there is no other mechanical equipment, basically rely on labor, rely on strength to build a few kilometers long huge project, that bitter, tired only those who experienced it.

The food in the canteen is also very poor, every day greens, even the smell of meat is basically not smellable, I have seen the master chef stir-frying, a large pot of cabbage dishes eaten by a hundred and ten people on the bottom of the pot a little oil, stir-fry a few times out of the pot. The firewood burned in the canteen was also the firewood that each of us migrant workers took shifts to cut firewood on the nearby mountain, and the young adults who were strong and energetic were not nothing, but I was not strong enough at that time, and my waist was not good, so I cut down the branches and tied them well, and I had to rest several times during the period of picking them back to the canteen. Eating requires us to buy meal tickets, because we earn less money, just a week a week to tighten the belt to buy very few meal tickets, no more to buy. I remember that once I didn't have a meal ticket in my hand, and I couldn't borrow it from others, I lay in bed and starved several times. However, there are also times when you are full and supportive, remember that it is lunch time, hungry and panicked, the meal is fragrant. I ate one pound and two pounds of rice in four meals, this time the most I had ever eaten. Dealing with stones every day is a common thing to be injured and scratched, light injuries have always been to grab the sediment to the wound to sprinkle the blood to stop it OK, there is a wound is really not light, the left leg was cut by the stone a twenty-centimeter-long opening, it can be said that the blood flowed like an injection, so far, there is still a long scar.

During the Period of Pangu Mountain, there seems to be nothing else in amateur cultural life except to watch movies, movies are often put on the side of the engineering headquarters, and after dinner, we will meet together along a dirt road to walk a section to the headquarters site, and sometimes go to the nearby mining areas or rural areas to watch movies.
