Chapter 60: The First Trip to the Countryside
Every day, when it is the turn of the squad leader or deputy squad leader on duty, the bed whistle will be blown on time.
After the whole team went out of the gate, turned right and trotted along the road.
On both sides of the road, the paddy fields after harvesting late rice are scattered with some straw barren, and the wild grass on the ridges is faintly green.
Near the fields to the east are several new houses of the villagers of Qiancang.
To the west is a field that stretches for several kilometers, and at the foot of the far mountain, there is a small village called Tang Ao.
This field is also called the Qiancang Plain, and it is also a rare piece of flat land in Xiangshan, which is dominated by hilly landforms.
Running forward through a row of army barracks arrived at Xintang Village.
Although the end of the shuttle bus in Qiancang is Qiancang, it will drive another section to Xintang and then turn back.
Our morning run will also spread out in Xintang, rest for a while, and then run back.
Standing at the three-way intersection between Xintang and Tangao and going to the seaside, looking to the northwest, the field extends outward, and it is a very long sea pond. There is also a group of villages at the foot of the opposite hill to the end of the sea pond, called Huangsha.
Looking to the southwest, there is a very high mountain in the distance called Zhu Mountain, close to the foot of the hill of Zhu Mountain, some houses can be faintly seen, this is the location of the commune, called Cui Jiao.
On the way back, you can see the houses in Zhongbao Village, which are halfway up the hill directly opposite.
After morning exercises, I did hygiene, washing, breakfast, and studying, and my life became very regular, and my heart slowly settled down.
After a few days of study, the veterans began to take us to the countryside to familiarize ourselves with the situation.
The first time I went to the countryside, I went with Wang Guomin, the squad leader.
I went to the southernmost point of the jurisdiction, the Baiyan Mountain Salt Works.
I rode my bicycle for nearly 50 minutes along the mountain road that connected the county seat, and there were 2 uphill climbs to get off and push on the way.
Wang Guomin still has to take care of me all the way, but fortunately, there are still few cars on the road.
The Baekamsan Salt Farm is very large, and it is said that it used to be a sea paint, but a sea pond was built outside and turned into a salt pan.
When I arrived at the office building of the salt farm, I directly found a deputy director surnamed Fang.
The deputy field director was very young, about the same age as Wang Guomin, and he was very delicate.
The level of the salt field is as big as the commune, and I feel that the deputy director of this side is quite capable.
After introducing each other, Deputy Field Director Fang took my hand very strongly.
"Xiao Zhang sit, Xiao Zhang sit." He was very enthusiastic about calling.
Hearing Wang Guomin introduce me as a native of Zhoushan, he pointed out the window and said, "Opposite Daoren Mountain is Peach Blossom Island." ”
I thought of going to Peach Blossom with my eldest brother to find work, and I thought that I might have seen the white mountains and rocks here, but I couldn't see the specific appearance.
Deputy Director Fang reported that recently, the fishing nets placed on the beach by the salt farmers on the farm have been stolen from time to time.
After lunch, a middle-aged man in his 40s was notified to come to the office building.
Wang Guomin took notes while asking and made a record.
I'm still quite tired from listening to the locals speaking the local dialect, especially some time terms, pronouncing "empty morning" in the morning and "no ga" in the evening, there is no rule, I can only memorize by rote.
Wang Guomin seems to have understood, but he still speaks with a bit of Jiaxing and Shanghai.
After making a record, the person took us to identify the scene.
Standing on the seaside, the Peach Blossom Island on the opposite side becomes more and more obvious.
Later, I learned that this ocean surface is also called "Reef Ocean", and the place where I stand is "Fairy Bay", the first bay in the East China Sea.
The national hero Wen Tianxiang once wrote a poem when he passed by here by boat:
Reef Ocean
Fairy country of sea and mountain,
Encounter the lonely canopy.
In the drawing of Vientiane,
In the Dry Cliff Jade Realm.
The wind shakes the spring waves softly,
The reef is fierce and the tide is strong.
dense clouds in the southeast,
The dragon soars into the blue sky.
When we come back, we will pass by Xugongao, which is also under the jurisdiction of Wang Guomin. Wang Guomin pointed out: "This is Xu Gongao, there are fishing teams and agricultural teams, it's late today, I'll go next time." ”
The way back to the station is basically downhill.
We accompanied the setting sun in the west, all the way to the north.
This is my first "job"!
