After grouping, the pressure of farm work became easier.

As soon as the rice was sown, there was not much work in the field, and the eldest brother and the other two heads of the family were cooking a few pieces of mountainous land, and a few of us renovated and repaired the sweet potato hole that was assigned to us to store the sweet potato seeds for the next year.

A new sea pond is being built in the commune, and the dam is filled with sand and gravel from the east and west ends of the old sea pond at the entrance of the village to the sea, and the entire sea is planned to be enclosed.

Every day, from time to time, there is the sound of splitting mountains and taking stones.

At that time, there was no heavy machinery, and the sand and gravel were manually pulled by wheelbarrows to the mud and landfilled, attracting some laborers from the surrounding area to earn some coolie money.

The three families discussed and decided to take advantage of their free farm work to go to the sea pond to earn some extra money.

The eldest brother pulls a cart alone.

My second brother and I took turns pulling and pushing.

According to the amount of earthwork pulled, cash settlement every day, you can get more than 10 yuan per capita every day.

I can't tell you how much I sweat every day, but by the time I finish work, my sweat is almost dry, but I'm happy to see the cash income every day.

It's unrealistic to say that you're not tired, but after a night's sleep, you can't finish it.

At that time, I really slept soundly!

On rainy days, thunder does not move to rest.

Soon witnessed an accident with his own eyes.

A quarrying hole was filled with ZY and a quick whistle was blown. The quarryman retreated with us to safety and lit a fire.

Everyone watched the fuse burn towards the mouth.

"Tom!"

A cloud of dirt fell with stones and rolled up a cloud of dust.

When the dust cleared, the quarryman was in front and we pulled the cart behind, and hurriedly loaded the stone and sand.

When I entered the edge of the newly piled sand at the mouth of the ditch, I suddenly heard the sound of stones breaking, and at the same time heard a quarryman shout:

"That's not right!"

Shouting as he turned and ran in our direction.

Because we pulled the car and walked slowly, there was a distance of more than 10 meters.

We stayed where we were.

I saw only a stone weighing dozens of tons, falling from the newly loosened mountain, falling on the pile of sand and gravel below, breaking into ten stones of different sizes and rolling down, and a few quarrymen who ran back past scattered in all directions.

"Oh, Emu..."

A quarryman named Bao Huangnian, who had a very cheerful personality, heard a heart-rending cry.

Everyone knew something was wrong, and they went up to the pile of newly fallen stones.

"Two people pressed in."

Someone was shouting while picking up stones.

Soon the two men were dug up by the crowd, covered in blood, and placed on the side of the road on a leveler level.

One person didn't move at all, and there was a twitch with two legs, and black blood clots kept gushing out of his mouth, emitting a low sy.

My heart softened, and tears flowed down my face.

When the ambulance pulled the two away, the quarryman surnamed Bao knelt on the ground crying and shouting, and many people surrounded him and hugged him and cried and persuaded him...

For the first time, I witnessed the distance of life with my own eyes!
