The past is like smoke, my corps, my youth years

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, I have been away from the Corps for more than fifty years, but the mountains of the Corps, the water of the Corps, the endless saline land of the Corps and the rolling fields of rice waves are always haunting and unforgettable...
"Men and women are not tired of working together" has appeared in some literary works many times, but do you know where this sentence originated and from what canon? Here, I can proudly say that it was the years of burning passion that created this buzzword, and it was our legion soldiers who interpreted its true meaning, this casual mantra, I did not expect to be widely circulated, the impact is so far-reaching...
At that time, I belonged to the first division and one regiment of the Shandong Production and Construction Corps, located at the mouth of the Yellow River. It was formed in early 1970 and began to grow rice. The rice paddies are located by the sea, most of them are saline and alkali land, and the only way at that time was to divert the water of the Yellow River to irrigate, which was called pressure alkali discharge. Every winter, when the farmers are idle, the first task of the company close to the sea is to dig alkali ditches and build tide-proof dams. In order to save the time of the round-trip journey, the superior decided to build a tent to stay in the wilderness overnight at the construction site. It was freezing cold, and the northwest wind blew the pain of a knife in the face. Minus ten degrees, reaching out and not seeing five fingers, the northwest wind whistling in the ears, the sand blowing on the tent, the rustling sound, the camping wilderness, the cold star, the tent in the book is difficult to resist the cold, the root mound does not dare to take off the cotton clothes to sleep, the day digging ditch and carrying the basket has been exhausted, the dim horse lamp, the comrades-in-arms had to squeeze each other to sleep on the bunk, the name is actually "hugging the group for warmth", the degree of hardship is still thinking about it, and the tears in their eyes are swirling.
I was divided into two battalions and four companies, and the company was divided into men's volleyball and women's volleyball teams, with more women and fewer men, and at the beginning, men and women worked independently. Later, in order to grasp the progress, Lianli had a special person to measure the earthwork every day. It has been calculated that the women's volleyball team has a lot less earth every day than the men's volleyball team, but the women's volleyball soldiers carrying the basket are all trotting, why is there such a big gap in the gap? After careful observation, it was found that the girls were too slow to get into the basket. One hundred and fifty or sixty pounds of baskets, boys only need four or five shovels to fill, while girls need eight or nine hammers or even more to fill due to small arm strength. According to this situation, Lianli decided to change the situation in which men and women fight separately, changing men and women to mixed males and women, two men and four women as a group, boys responsible for loading baskets, and girls carrying baskets full-time. After the adoption of the new method, the construction site has changed from the past dull, the laughter has increased, the whole construction site is not only active atmosphere, but also enhances the mutual care between men and women, mutual consideration of the atmosphere, the earth has increased significantly compared with the original. Since then, "men and women are not tired of working together" has often been hung on the lips of everyone, and as they returned to the city, their comrades-in-arms of that year have also gone to the west and east, but this sentence, like seeds, like wild grasses and sweet rain, has spread rapidly everywhere...
Although the boys loaded the basket and the girls carried it, although it improved the efficiency, the two of them found new problems when they paid for the burden. The earthworks generally fall to more than ten meters away, the girls carry the basket away, the boys who load the basket are idle, and the empty basket is carried back to the boys to load the basket and the girls wait. How can this be changed? In order to complete the task as soon as possible and return to the station as soon as possible, everyone used their brains to find ways and adopted new countermeasures. Carrying the basket two to pay the burden becomes three payments. There is always a burden in the basket, the girl comes back to put down the empty basket, pulls out the flat burden to carry the full burden, and the three burdens are carried in two groups. The boys increased the time to load the baskets, and the girls reduced the waiting time, which accelerated the progress of the project and shortened our working hours in the desolate saline land.
More than fifty years have passed, but when I think of the Corps, it seems that it was just yesterday, and I deeply miss those stormy years of war and earth, and then I immediately take the oil to express the excitement of the twilight years and the prosperity of the world.
Shaohua season into the army,
Autumn frost stains twilight years.
The past is like smoke and sails,
Fountain of Happiness in the Final Age.
