Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The five-cornered maple in front of the building has sprouted buds, and the holly tree on the side of the road has also been covered with a layer of fresh green.  The wind carries the spring color, changing day by day like a magician, and the green color spreads like a tide to every life.

    Hanwen got up early. Today is Saturday and there are no classes. The school will organize all teachers and students to plant trees on the farm in the factory.  It is required to arrive at school at 7 a.m. and leave at 7:10 a.m.

    He wore his father¡¯s work clothes and a pair of Jiefang shoes.  He also wore a pair of white gloves and rushed to school carrying a military satchel.

    He likes to work outside, like the feeling of being blown by the wind in the fields, and likes the feeling of bathing in the sun.  I like the feeling of sweating profusely after working hard.

    He arrived at school half an hour early to organize the students to get picks, shovels, buckets and other tools, and also cooperated with the teacher to organize work groups.  The task of each class is to complete the planting of at least 500 saplings.  The class that has completed the most is this year¡¯s outstanding tree planting class.

    Hanwen has been the class president since he was in junior high school, and his class has ranked first in all activities in his grade.  He didn't want to lose to the other three classes in this tree planting work.

    The whole class was here, and he stood on the podium and began to arrange today's work.  He is already very experienced in this area.  He said to the class: "Students, this year's tree planting task is very arduous. Each class has planted at least 500 saplings, and the average person is one sapling. For the honor of our class, we must all work together and strive for  Six hundred trees completed.

    We are divided into seven work groups based on horizontal seating, with eight people in each group. Each group elects a leader and deputy leader. Everyone must follow the command in all actions.  Each team is equipped with two picks, two shovels, and two buckets.  Now four people from each group go to school with me to pick up tools.  "

    Teacher Sun, the head teacher, stood at the back door of the class. After listening to Hanwen¡¯s task arrangements, he took the lead in applauding.  She said privately to many teachers: "Huang Hanwen has rare organizational skills. No matter how difficult the task in the class is, as long as he arranges it, it will be completed successfully. This child will definitely be an official when he grows up."

    In less than ten minutes, Hanwen's team was completed.  Like an officer, he jogged two steps, stood at attention, saluted, and shouted loudly: "Teacher, all the students in the first grade of junior high school have gathered. Please give me instructions."

    Teacher Sun said very seriously: "Students, class monitor Huang Hanwen has explained our difficulties to you today. What I want to say is that I believe you will be able to exceed your quota and strive for new achievements for the first class of junior high school."  Honor. Do you have confidence?"

    The students all responded loudly and excitedly: "Yes, yes!"

    Loud singing came from the truck, and I heard Hanwen start loudly: "Forward, forward, forward! Our team faces the sun, steps on the earth of the motherland, and prepares to sing."

    After driving for an hour, we arrived at the farm on Weihetan.  Looking around, the Wei River flows rapidly eastward, and there are endless reeds under the river embankment.  This side of the river embankment is an endless stretch of wasteland. Many circles have been drawn on the ground with white lime. It can be seen that there are rows of saplings between the circles.

    The labor officially began. The male students were responsible for digging holes, and the female students were responsible for planting saplings and watering.  The tree pit needs to be 60 centimeters in diameter and 50 centimeters deep. Since it is a riverbank, it is not very difficult to dig it.

    According to statistics compiled in the morning, their class planted a total of 318 trees, ranking second, 23 less than Class 4.  Hanwen used the lunch break to continue to encourage everyone: "Students, let's take the time to eat and rest. We will take back the first place in the afternoon."

    He washed his hands with river water, took out a steamed bun with pickles from his military satchel, and ate it with big mouthfuls.  Yuhe quietly took a fried egg from the lunch box and put it on his steamed bun.  He smiled at her knowingly and took the whole egg into his mouth in one bite.

    Yu He complained and said: "You can't eat slower, no one will fight with you." He said with a silly smile: "I have to check whether the trees planted in the morning are not up to standard. When the time comes, let the masters of the farm check them out.  Our class's score will be deducted." After saying that, he walked towards the planted woods.  Hao Jun and several other brothers followed him.

    Hao Jun stopped him, handed him a piece of sausage from his bag and said, "Don't work too hard. How can you handle such a heavy workload with just one steamed bun?" He smiled and said, "There's still more in the bag.  There¡¯s a steamed bun!¡±

    He checked all the saplings he had planted and found that some saplings were tilted when watering because the pits were not dug deep enough. He said angrily: "It's really perfunctory. Can such saplings survive? They must be reworked."  ." He turned back to Hao Jun and said: "Check which group did it and make sure they rework it. This is a waste of national property.'

    Several brothers saw him and picked up rusty copper coins from the soil from time to time and put them into their satchels.  Puzzled, he asked: "You??What's that crap for?  We saw a lot when we were digging tree pits!  He said mysteriously: "I always feel that although these copper coins are not cultural relics, they are also witnesses of history."  I want to collect it.  When you see it, you must pick it up and give it to me.  "

    As he was talking, his eyes lit up and he saw something like broken iron next to a pit where saplings had not been planted. He thought it should be a bronze mirror. He picked it up and wiped off the dirt. It was really a bronze mirror. He was so happy.  .  He knew that there were many cultural relics from the Han and Tang dynasties scattered throughout the Weihe River Basin.  He put the bronze mirror into his satchel and returned to the river embankment as if nothing had happened.

    He once again emphasized to the students that we should not only pursue speed, but also plant every tree alive, otherwise it will be a waste of national property.

    The work started in the afternoon, and he took the lead and accelerated the digging of holes.  Under his leadership, none of the students was lazy.  Teacher Sun came to him and said with concern: "Hanwen, take it easy. Don't be too tired. I just learned that the quality of our class is the best. Planting trees is for greening, not just for quantity. What do you think?  Everyone¡¯s reminder is very important. I don¡¯t think you should do it yourself. It¡¯s also important that you supervise everyone¡¯s tree planting quality.¡±

    He nodded, handed the pickaxe to the male student next to him, and began to inspect the quality of the trees planted by his classmates.  When he walked to Xie Wanying's group, he found that the tree pit he dug could not even cover the roots of the saplings, so he had to plant them in it.  He hurriedly stopped and said to Xie Wanying angrily: "As the deputy squad leader, you should consciously ensure the quality of tree planting. If you plant saplings like this, they will die every two days."

    Xie Wanying threw down the sapling unconvinced, picked up the bucket and walked towards the river.  He and several other classmates dug the hole again and planted the saplings, but Xie Wanying still didn't come back.  He thought to himself that he had spoken too harshly, and that she was really embarrassed and was crying by the river in anger!

    He walked quickly towards the river. As soon as he reached the embankment, he heard panicked calls for help.  He ran towards the direction of the cry for help.  When he got to the river embankment, he saw that Xie Wanying did not carry water to the hard shore far away like other classmates who carried water. Instead, she tried to take a shortcut through the soft mud. As a result, she got stuck in the mud, and she became more and more tired.  The faster you struggle, the faster you sink.  It has sunk down to the waist.

    He shouted to Xie Wanying: "Don't move, don't move anymore! If you move again, the top of your head will soon be submerged." He ran while thinking about how to save her.  He looked at the distance and saw that it was seven or eight meters away from a hard place, so the branches must be out of reach.  He saw a rope on the cart pulling the saplings. He rushed over and rolled up the rope with his elbow from the cart. It was more than 20 meters long.

    By the time he ran to the place where Xie Wanying sank, the shore was already surrounded by classmates and teachers.  He shouted loudly: "Students, we have to throw the rope to her and let her tie herself up firmly, and then we can pull her out."

    He tied one end of the rope to the tree, tied a thick branch to the other end, and threw it towards her.  The branch fell just a foot away from her hand, and she could reach it without moving.

    He stood on the shore and commanded: "Xie Wanying, don't look back. Tie the rope firmly under your arms. Hold the rope tightly with both hands and don't let go. When you are ready, wave to us. Let's start again.  Pull you."

    The atmosphere on the entire embankment was very tense, and she had already sunk up to her chest.  She finally tied the rope and waved behind everyone's back.  Hanwen said loudly: "You are checking and checking. You must tie it tightly. We will pull you out of the quagmire after a while."

    She checked the rope buckle again and waved her hand tremblingly.  Hanwen turned around and said to his classmates: "We must choose the twenty strongest male students and use the strongest force when pulling."

    After a while, twenty male students were selected. Hanwen said to them: "You put the rope on your shoulders, just like a tracker pulling a rope. I call start. You run forward. I call stop and you stop again."  ."

    He shouted to her again: "Xie Wanying, get ready now. Close your eyes, tighten the rope, close your mouth and hold your breath. Get ready, pull"

    Twenty male classmates ran forward, and Xie Wanying was pulled out of the quagmire with mud slipping on her back.  School leaders and head teacher Sun all rushed to her side.  In addition to her clothes being stained by mud, she was frightened.  burst into tears.  No injuries were sustained.

    Hanwen took the water bottle from his back and fed her two mouthfuls.  He turned around and said to his classmates: "It's okay. Everyone has finished their work. Our work is over for today."

    The students dispersed and continued working.  Teacher Sun took Xie Wanying to the river to wash her face and change clothes.

    The tree planting is over. According to the statistics of the farm employees, the first class of junior high school has 628 trees. They are of the best quality and ranked first.  Although Class 4 in the first grade of junior high school had more than 20 more trees than Class 1, 70 or 80 trees were unqualified and needed to beRework.

    It is already dark, and the sky is full of stars.  All the classmates were so tired that they couldn't stop talking.  Some simply snored.  Hanwen leaned against the fence of the truck and looked up at the stars.

    Suddenly he felt his right hand being held tightly by a hand. He looked at Yu He next to him, who was also looking at the stars.  Ignore him.

    Hao Jun and several other brothers crowded in front of him and stuffed something into his bag.  He knew it was copper coins.  He smiled and said, "I really picked up a lot! I'll treat you to something delicious later. What do you want to eat?"

    Hai Xia and Wu Mengqin also stuffed some copper coins into his bag and asked him, "Do we also have a share?"

    "How did you know?" he asked curiously.  Hai Xia and Wu Mengqin responded in unison: "We have known your whereabouts for a long time." He said proudly: "How about I treat you to mutton steamed buns?"

    The group of people all applauded in agreement.  Hao Jun said softly: "Hanwen, you are so handsome today, with the demeanor of a general. Even the physical education teacher said: 'Huang Hanwen is not a thing in the pool!' And she was the one you saved."

    Haixia asked in confusion: "What do you mean? Why can't I understand?" Yuhe joked loudly: "It means that Huang Hanwen is not a turtle bastard, not a fish, shrimp or crab. You can decide what you want."

    As several meteors streaked across the sky, Hanwen fell asleep leaning on Yuhe.
