Chapter 65 26. From Yidan Shigou to Sanlezhuang (1)

I created the highest record of personal food intake in Yidanshigou, and it was also the deep plowing in autumn. I invented a method of jumping up and stepping on the shovel, that is, after jumping, put the whole body weight on one foot, and then use this foot to step on the shovel Press the shovel plate into the soil on the back, no matter how hard the soil is, it will be fully cut and turned up.But this kind of work consumes a lot of energy. I ate six bowls of mixed noodles at noon a day, which is equivalent to a catty and a half catties of dry noodles. I was not physically strong since I was a child. When I was working in the Communist Youth League Committee, a leader said to my face that this child was too smart, and the result of premature maturity was likely to be an early death.My physical improvement began in 1958 when I was working. When I first arrived at the construction site, I felt that my fingers became thicker, my waist and legs became stronger, and my shoulders could withstand the pressure.I am a firm believer in the life-saving effect of physical labor on me.When I arrived at Sangyu, labor made my blood flow smoothly and my mind clear.I'm just stating a fact here, and I don't intend to whitewash the ultra-left intellectual policy.I have even wondered to this day, if civilized and voluntary methods are used instead of brutal and coercive methods, can we call on more experts and professors to do manual labor for two years?I am a firm believer in the health benefits of physical labor.

There is also a pleasant experience. I rode a horse several times to the Nanxinfang Brigade to nail the horses and donkeys.I dare to ride a horse, I am not afraid, I pay attention to my posture, and I have not shoveled my ass.My body is flexible, and I don't think the stirrup is too dead, and I can jump off at any time.I still get up a few times, flick the whip twice, run and bump a few times, of course, I must pay attention not to tire the horse or make the horse's four hooves sweat. Once or twice, the horse bullied the novice, and suddenly ran back to the stable while walking, and the top of my head hit the door frame of the stable, and I was bleeding, but fortunately I am not too tall. The interest in dancing together was not affected either.

I played with strawberries in Yidan Shigou, and the name of the strawberry alone made me happy.I believe that the red berries in the Polish waltz song "A girl went to the woods to find red berries" were strawberries.There is also hard work, carrying limestone for the ash kiln and building the kiln. Yidan Shigou is different from Sangyu, there are not that kind of big mountains, but many steep small peaks and small hills.There are several hilltops that have been cut to flat ground, which may have been used as private yards when I worked alone. It is quite beautiful to stand on a high place and look down.My strawberry field is also a nearby hill.

I also hunted pigweed and cut wattles in Yidan Shigou. These two tasks required good eyesight. I did not do it well, but it was also a new experience in a mess. Tanzhe Temple is a famous scenic spot in the suburbs of Beijing. Yidanshigou got its name because there were two round boulders when it entered the ditch. On the round stones, you can even see the square heart, which is the trace of carrying the burden. It is said that it was carried by Erlang God. Chasing the sun with these two boulders, he put the stones here.There are many hills, many stones, verdant trees, lush flowers and plants, and squirrels are often seen here.But there is still a part of Bald Mountain.We carry out afforestation in the rainy season, and go to the forest nursery in the rain to dig out young trees and plant them in the fish scale pits that have been dug in advance.I learned the names of some tree species, what Okubo (peach), what Arbat, what pine, arborvitae, masson pine, etc., and we also occasionally imagined the future: the barren hills became mountains of flowers and fruits, and the plains became rivers of rice grains. kind.

Life, love, sex are everywhere.In Class Eight, there were some scandals.I didn't realize it.And some friends talked about this and that excitedly, and revealed that some of the female characters in the scandal had a political purpose: to get close to the "good" activists in order to remove their hats.I don’t believe such rumors at first, and I feel pain after hearing about them, especially for women. Is it hard to be a famous woman?It's not easy to be a female rightist, if you don't believe me, let those famous women try it out.Thirdly, I don’t understand, why can’t I see it?How can a wooden man like Wang Meng still write novels?Fourth, it's great to be an activist. If you become a rightist, you should also be an activist, and you will be lucky to find you.

After so many years, I suddenly thought, why can't I see all this in the most beautiful sense?There are sun, moon and stars everywhere, spring, summer, autumn and winter everywhere, the heat of life everywhere, the unfinished youth everywhere, and blind dates between men and women everywhere, although they have been criticized, put to death, and no longer Counting people, but there are still hugs and wild kisses, moments of desperation, tremors with the same beat as mountains and rivers... If the damned Wang Meng is a little more active and wild, a little less indifferent and law-abiding, maybe his "Gass" "Season" and so on will be much more attractive.

Compared with Sangyu, one of the advantages of Yidan Shigou is that they eat well, and generally eat according to the standards of cadres, and do not have to follow the poor and lower-middle peasants.I firmly believe that as long as you eat enough and sleep enough, the harder you work, the better your body and mind.But soon came the winter of 1960, a famine winter in China.The food problem plagued the whole of China. Although a few pigs were raised in Yidan Shigou, it was of little benefit to the non-staple food of the government.The afforestation team was handed over to the newspaper office as a backup for combat operations, and a load of stone ditch rested there quietly. There was no grand event during the Great Leap Forward, leaving behind a few antique big houses that we built with high-grade materials demolished from ancient buildings. Store paper and some printing supplies.And the trees planted there, except for the dead ones, gradually grew up after decades, and the pines and cypresses were taller than a person.

The non-staple food production of the municipal party committee system has opened up a new point, located in Sanlezhuang, Xihongmen Brigade, Nanyuan.It is closer to the city, and the environment is simpler. For me, it doesn't mean "deep into life" too much, but after arriving in Sanlezhuang, it will be more convenient to take a vacation; it is agreed that I can take a vacation once every two weeks.So in 1960, they moved to Sanlezhuang, and the grain ration was reduced from 45 catties per month to 32 catties.
