After looking at the ground in the village for a while, Xue Chengyuan chatted with the others for a while. Carrying his gun and crossbow, he prepared to go up the mountain with Huang Ting.
"The state-owned forest farm isn't close. We'll probably have to spend the afternoon on the mountain.”
"I brought some buns, so it should be fine.”
Xue Chengyuan took out a few buns wrapped in oil paper from his pocket.
"Alright, you're thinking more than me. I was thinking of going to the other forest protection teams to get a meal.”
Huang Ting looked at Xue Cheng Yuan and smiled.
He didn't know that these buns were taken out by Xue Chengyuan from the space.
Later on, Xue Chengyuan discovered a new space attribute.
That was, he could set a time freeze in a certain area.
This was equivalent to having a natural refrigerator, or of course, a hot box.
After all, Time Stop could not only preserve the freshness but also prevent the heat from dissipating.
Although it had not snowed for some time, the snow in the mountains still showed no signs of melting.
The snow on the Changbai Mountains would last until the first month of the year, and only in February would it show signs of melting.
The latitudes were high, the mountains were high, and global warming had not yet begun on a large scale. The winter in the northeast was very long, so the snow would last for a long time.
"By the way, the state-owned forest farm is different from our forest protection team.”
Huang Ting carried a gun on his back as he walked in front of them. He said,"We are mainly guarding against illegal logging and poaching. Over there, we are planting while carrying out large-scale logging.”
"When you get there, don't be surprised if you see someone logging. It's normal behavior.”
"Isn't the state-owned forest planting trees? Why are they still cutting down?"
When Xue Chengyuan came, he had clearly remembered a sentence written on the newspaper when he was packing it into the iron box.
"The forest is an important resource for the construction of the country and a guarantee for agricultural production. The active development and protection of forest resources is of great significance to the promotion of China's industrial and agricultural production.”
He had always thought that development was about planting new trees and protecting the existing forest vegetation.
"It's economic construction. We can't just plant and not cut.”
Huang Ting: " It's much better now. In the past, ordinary people couldn't afford to burn coal, so they used wood and charcoal. At that time, the foot of the mountain was bare and a lot of it was cut off.”
"Right now, we still use wood and charcoal. In Shanxia City, the factory workers basically use coal to burn.”
Xue Chengyuan nodded in understanding.
Indeed, even in the 21st century, wood burning still existed in the countryside. It was a large area in the northeast.
Especially when the price of coal rose in a certain year, there would be even more people burning wood.
However, at that time, a large amount of wood was imported from the outside world, and the forests in the country were still well protected.
The main thing was that he had established a law.
After walking for a few hours, there were fewer towering trees and thinner branches.
From the looks of it, they were basically replanted trees.
"The state-owned farm is in front. I'm familiar with the people inside. I'll introduce them to you later. If there's anything nearby, just come and call for help.”
"There are also many people with guns here. After all, in addition to building the forest farm, they also have to cut down trees.”
Before he could walk far, he saw a group of people cutting down trees in the distance.
The two of them had barely taken two steps when a voice called out,"Over there, where did you come from? Where are you going with a gun?”
"Me! Huang Ting! Wangjiatun Forest Protection Team! Bring the new queue-cutting educated youth to recognize him!”
"Yo! Huang, the busy man, is here. Come over!"
It was only when Huang Ting and Xue Cheng Yuan walked up to them that they saw the person in front of them clearly.
There weren't many people. There were only five or six people in this area. All of them were wearing leather hats, thick cotton clothes, cotton pants, and cotton boots.
What surprised Xue Chengyuan the most was that the method of cutting wood was not manual but mechanical.
The top was thin and the bottom was thick. It carried a wheel and rotated around the tree with both hands. Finally, it relied on its technical experience to make the tree fall in the direction it wanted.
Wasn't this just an old-fashioned chainsaw? It could even be used in this era?
Not far away, a sunken snow pit could be seen.
No! It should be called an ice pit.
The entire ice pit was semi-oval in shape and looked like it was specially made.
"Old Huang, wait a moment. We'll rest after we're done with this tree.”
As they spoke, a group of people shouted and sawed off a huge piece of wood.
"Retreat!"
Huang Ting pulled Xue Chengyuan back a dozen steps and saw a towering tree fall, stirring up a cloud of snow.
The few of them did not stop. They went forward and cut off the branches with small axes, leaving only the main branches.
"Hey yo!"
"Hey yo!"
A group of people used wooden sticks to move the wood bit by bit in the snow, and finally pushed it into the ice nest.
One of them pushed forward with a wooden stick, and the wood slowly started to slide down.
Xue Chengyuan looked at the wooden block gliding rapidly in the nest and sighed. It was indeed the wisdom of the working people that was most admirable.
"Alright, everyone, take a break. Don't let Old Huang say that we won't receive him if he comes.”
The group of people put down their things and took off their leather hats to fan the heat off their heads.
"Old Huang, can you introduce this comrade to me?”
They looked at Xue Chengyuan and asked curiously.
"Xue Chengyuan, from the capital. He came to our forest protection team to cut the queue and become a forest ranger.”
"He made a contribution on the second day. He's not an ordinary person.”
"Now, I'm part-time as a substitute teacher in Wangjiatun.”
"What?"
When the middle-aged leader heard this, his hand slowed down.
"There are still teachers teaching in Wangjiatun?”
The others also looked at Huang Ting in disbelief.
The teachers in the mountains were really difficult.
"Yeah, Teacher Xue is an educated youth, a high school student. It's a waste of talent to be a forest ranger here.”
"Teacher Xue might be young, but he knows a lot. He came down with a great mission. He has to work and help us with literacy!”
"Teach our children to read and write!”
The more Huang Ting spoke, the more confident he became and the louder his voice became.
There was nothing he could do about it. As far as he knew, there was no other place in the entire Changbai Mountains. Only Wangjiatun had it.
The place at the foot of Changbai Mountain treated the educated youths who came down as livestock and said that they wanted to teach them.
In the end, he was exhausted every day. He did not have enough to eat or wear. How could he have the time to think about anything else?
They were still the most open-minded. The mountains were high and there were few things to do.
"My goodness, your Wangjiatun has a golden lump!”
The middle-aged man said enviously,"For so many years, it was always the hardest for you to farm. In the end, the educated youths given to you are so good."”
"Envy? Envy is useless. No one can snatch her away from our village!”
Xue Cheng Yuan looked at Huang Ting's arrogance and laughed in his heart.
He was already an adult, yet he was still showing off to these people like a kid.
She said it so well for herself.
I like it!
