Chapter 259 Six Women Go to the Dam
The Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm headquarters was not located at the camp where the advance team was stationed.
After on-site investigation and discussion.
They eventually set their sights on a location 5 kilometers east of the camp.
This place is located precisely at the heart of the dam area.
Starting from here, we can take a comprehensive view of the situation in the entire Bashang region.
Whether it's the planning and layout of the forest farm or the overall development strategy for the future, it has unique advantages.
With the strong support of the Ministry of Forestry and the Chengde Prefectural Committee, the workers raced against time and worked day and night.
In just 20 days, the headquarters of the Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm, a symbol of hope and dreams, rose from the ground.
It is like a shining pearl on the barren land, attracting countless people with lofty ideals to devote themselves to this green cause.
At that time, there were college students and vocational school students from several universities, including Northeast Forestry College, Beijing Forestry University, and Chengde Agricultural College.
Responding to the call, they packed their bags and headed to Saihanba with great enthusiasm.
Determined to dedicate their youth and sweat to this land and shine with their own unique brilliance.
Meanwhile, on the campus of Chengde No. 3 Middle School.
Several girls who are about to graduate from high school are sitting together.
They were having a heated discussion about a topic that had changed the course of their lives.
Are we really going to Bashang?
A girl, with some hesitation, broke the silence first.
"I heard it's terribly cold in Bashang."
Another girl chimed in, her tone tinged with worry.
Several girls chattered away, each one talking at once.
The winter chill in Bashang seemed to permeate their words, allowing them to feel the coldness.
"Bashang is located at the northernmost part of Weichang County, and it's at a high altitude, so of course it's cold!"
One of the girls explained.
"If we go, won't we freeze into popsicles?"
Someone said it half-jokingly, which made everyone laugh.
"I'm not afraid of the cold. Let's all go up together."
A cheerful girl said loudly.
"Even when frozen, it'll be frozen into a skewer of candied hawthorns!"
These words immediately made the other five girls burst into laughter.
Amidst the laughter, everyone's spirits gradually rose.
After the laughter subsided slightly, Zhang Manling, the girl who was clearly in charge, spoke up.
"well said!"
"We call it revolutionary optimism!"
"Optimism?"
"Zhang Manling, we can't just think about it!"
Another girl frowned and expressed her concerns.
"We're all high school students, do you think they'll want us?"
"That's right, they're a state-owned mechanized forest farm, do you think they'd hire us as employees?"
Another girl quickly chimed in to agree.
"The reason I called everyone here today is so that we can reach a consensus first."
Zhang Manling spoke slowly and deliberately, a hint of determination in her eyes.
"There's something I need to discuss, and I'm curious if everyone's interested!"
She paused briefly, observing her sisters' expressions, before continuing.
"If everyone is willing, I have a way to handle this."
As she spoke, Zhang Manling wore a confident smile, as if she had everything under control.
"I'm willing. It's a bit cold in Bashang, but there are no other drawbacks."
At this point, Sun Huifen, who hadn't said much until now, voiced her opinion.
"And I heard that this time in Bashang!"
She deliberately kept everyone in suspense, lowering her voice and speaking mysteriously.
"Many college and vocational school students majoring in forestry have come."
"There are so many men here, it'll be easier to find a partner!"
As she spoke, a blush crept onto her face, and a hopeful smile appeared on her lips.
"Sun Huifen, we're talking about finding a job, not finding a husband."
The girl who had spoken earlier couldn't help but tease him.
Just as Sun Huifen was about to retort, another girl's teasing voice followed.
"Sun Huifen, how afraid are you of never getting married?"
"That's right!"
The women's teasing laughter rose and fell, making Sun Huifen blush and feel somewhat embarrassed.
Fortunately, Zhang Manling spoke up in time to smooth things over.
"Alright, everyone stop laughing at Huifen!"
"The six of us are the best of sisters!"
"Let's decide by vote. Those who want to go to the dam, raise your hands!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Manling raised her hand high.
That resolute posture seemed to be declaring her determination to the world.
Seeing this, the other girls did not hesitate at all and immediately raised their hands.
"Unanimous vote passed!"
Looking at everyone's expressions, Zhang Manling shouted excitedly.
"Zhang Manling, tell me quickly, do you have any ideas?"
Sun Huifen glanced at the sisters who had all raised their hands.
Then, they turned their expectant gaze to Zhang Manling.
He couldn't wait to ask her what her solution was.
It would be possible to get a few of them to work as employees at the Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm.
To be honest!
Zhang Manling cleared her throat and said solemnly.
"Yu Zhenglai, the director of Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm, is my neighbor."
"Oh, so you're going through the back door?"
Upon hearing this, the girls exchanged bewildered glances, their faces showing surprise and confusion.
Then a girl cautiously asked.
After all, using connections is considered dishonorable in everyone's eyes.
They would rather not go to the Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm than go against their principles.
"How can that work?"
Upon hearing what her sisters meant, Zhang Manling knew that they must have misunderstood.
So he quickly waved his hand and explained hastily.
"Uncle Yu was an anti-Japanese war cadre, a veteran revolutionary!"
"There's no way to get through the back door with him!"
After hearing Zhang Manling's words, the girl who had spoken earlier still asked with some uncertainty.
"Can you guarantee that all of us can go?"
The other girls nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with anticipation and confusion.
“A few days ago, I heard Uncle Yu giving a pep talk to his family.”
Zhang Manling recalled the scene at that time and spoke slowly.
"Get your family members to come and work on the dam."
"Aunt Yu and her children don't want to go."
"I heard Uncle Yu slam his fist on the table and say, 'If no one sets a good example, who will be willing to go up the dam?'"
What does this mean?
She paused deliberately, her gaze sweeping over the faces of each of her sisters.
"This shows that the Saihanba Forest Farm needs people right now."
Hearing Zhang Manling's analysis, the women's eyes lit up, as if they had seen a ray of light in the darkness.
"I'm going to write a letter to Uncle Yu."
Zhang Manling continued.
"Tell him that we are willing to go to Bashang."
"How about we all sign it together?"
"okay!"
After hearing Zhang Manling's idea, the women felt that it was very feasible, so they all nodded in agreement.
