Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

During the one-week intensive training, the employees of Dadi Fengshou Farm not only received simple military training, but also learned some skills and experience in tractor operation and crop planting. On the second day after the intensive training, that is, on March 1961, 3, the 2 employees gathered in the square in front of Sijiucheng Railway Station. He Yuzhu divided them into 5000 teams of 100 people each. Each team elected a team leader and two deputy team leaders through internal elections.

50 teams of farm workers boarded the train in turn under the guidance of the train station staff, led by their team leaders. Each team took one carriage. In addition to the farm workers, Red Star Steel Plant and Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant sent a total of 100 farm workers to support the trip, including 20 cadres, 50 security personnel from the security department, 10 technicians responsible for tractor maintenance, and 20 logistics personnel, including 5 chefs, 2 doctors, 3 accountants, 5 statisticians, and 5 personnel officers.

He Yuzhu required that each carriage be staffed by a security guard, and that 20 cadres each be responsible for managing four carriages, while logistics and technical personnel were concentrated in separate carriages. In this way, the first batch of employees of the Dadi Fengshou Farm set off from the Sijiucheng Railway Station on a steam train, heading towards the legendary Western Region Province.

The train drove slowly and finally entered Longbei Province on the fourth day. He Yuzhu sat by the window, looking at the desolate scene outside the window, and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart. He said to himself: "It seems that water is really the source of life." Due to the scarcity of rainfall, Longbei Province seemed to be particularly dry. Except for those villages where people lived, there were almost no trees growing in the wild, giving people a feeling that the earth was vast and boundless.

As a member of the canteen sent to support the farm in Xiyu Province, Nan Yi got on the bus early and found his seat. At this moment, he was happily chatting and eating with the canteen workers beside him. Suddenly, he noticed that Ding Qiunan was carrying luggage and followed a middle-aged man into the carriage. He immediately stood up, walked quickly to Ding Qiunan, and said enthusiastically: "Doctor Ding, let me help you get it!"

Ding Qiunan hurriedly thanked him and handed her luggage to Nan Yi, while she herself concentrated on carrying the medicine box on the other side.

At this time, Ding Rushan turned around, looked at Ding Qiunan, and asked softly: "Xiaonan, do you know this comrade?"

Ding Qiunan replied, "Dad, I don't know him."

Ding Rushan frowned in confusion and asked in a low voice, "Then how did he know your last name was Ding?"

"Maybe he came to the infirmary for a checkup! How can I remember all the people in the factory?"

Nan Yi helped Ding Qiunan find an empty seat in a very gentlemanly manner, and then carefully placed Ding Qiunan's luggage on the luggage rack. Then he smiled and said to her: "Doctor Ding, just sit here with peace of mind! After all, this entire carriage is full of people from our factory, and it will definitely not be full, so don't worry about anyone grabbing your seat. If you encounter any problems or need help, you can call me anytime, I'll be over there." As he said that, he pointed in the direction of his seat.

Ding Qiunan quickly thanked him, "Okay, thank you so much. By the way, I don't know what to call you yet."

Nan Yi answered cheerfully: "Haha, no need to be so polite, my name is Nan Yi, and I'm a chef in our factory cafeteria."

After hearing this, Ding Qiunan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Huh? Why are you guys from the canteen sending people to support the farm as well?"

Nan Yi patiently explained, "Because the employees of the farm are almost all new employees, and although the chefs responsible for cooking for the farm employees have received short-term training in the factory cafeteria, the training time is too short. The leaders are worried that they will have problems at work, so they specially arranged for the cafeteria to arrange several experienced chefs to come to Xiyu Province with them and guide these new chefs. After they are proficient in the job, we can return to the factory."

After listening to Nan Yi's explanation, Ding Qiunan nodded in sudden enlightenment, a trace of admiration flashed in her eyes, and she said in a soft voice: "So that's how it is, I was wondering why we still need the chef from your cafeteria to support us!" As she spoke, she gently brushed the hair behind her ears with her hand, showing a touch of elegance and beauty. Meanwhile, Ding Rushan sat quietly in his seat, silently watching the conversation between Ding Qiunan and Nan Yi without disturbing them.

Nan Yi continued chatting with Ding Qiunan for a while with a faint smile on his face, then he politely said goodbye to her and turned back to his seat. After Nan Yi left, Ding Rushan gently patted Ding Qiunan on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Xiao Na, Dad thinks that Nan Yi seems to be interested in you. You'd better keep some distance from him in the future."

When Ding Qiunan heard her father's words, she blushed immediately, lowered her head, and whispered softly: "Dad, what are you talking about? I'm still young!" There was a hint of coquettishness and shyness in her voice, and her face was filled with the blush unique to young girls, as beautiful as a blooming flower.

In the following days, Nan Yi always took the initiative to help in the dining car of the train, and tried his best to use his skills, just to exchange for Ding Qiunan's bright smile like the sun. Whenever he saw Ding Qiunan's happy face, Nan Yi felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, as if the whole world had become brighter.

After 10 days of bumpy ride, the staff of Dadi Fengshou Farm finally arrived at Dihua City, the train's terminal in Xiyu Province. When the train stopped, everyone couldn't wait to get off the train, as they were tired of staying on the train. After everyone released their long-suppressed emotions, the captain of each team blew his whistle and began to gather the members of his team. After the team was assembled, they moved towards the train exit in an orderly manner.

When He Yuzhu got off the train, he immediately felt a biting cold wind blowing in his face, which made him shiver. Then, a group of cadres from the Red Star Steel Plant hurried forward, and one of them asked respectfully: "Deputy Director He, what do you think we should do next?"

He Yuzhu took a deep breath, feeling the dry and cold air of Xiyu Province, and a sense of excitement surged in his heart. He thought for a moment and replied, "First, we will go out of the station to meet up with the workers, and then arrange some people to go to the railway station to pick up our cars, tractors and supporting farm tools, and make sure they are fully fueled and ready to go. The destination is Changji area, because the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation has already delivered the materials needed for our farm."

After saying that, He Yuzhu picked up his luggage and walked towards the exit of the train station. Along the way, the other cadres followed him closely, not daring to be negligent. Finally, they walked out of the train station. As soon as they left the station, He Yuzhu saw the teams lined up neatly in the square in front of the train station. The team members' eyes were all focused on him, full of expectation and respect.

He Yuzhu walked up to the steps on the square and shouted, "The tractor drivers of each team and the security guards in charge of driving cars, please step out and follow Section Chief Zhang to drive out our tractors and trucks."

When the tractor drivers and drivers walked out of the team and followed Zhang Zili to the train station to receive the cars and tractors from Dadi Fengshou Farm, He Yuzhu continued, "The weather in Xiyu Province is colder than that in Sijiu City. Are you afraid?"

"No fear!" Everyone answered in unison. Their voices were as firm as steel, and their eyes revealed fearlessness and determination.

"Everyone is in a good mood. I hope everyone will keep up this high spirit and not fear the severe cold. Although the weather here is still very cold, don't worry too much, because the coldest days have passed, and the days to come will only get warmer and warmer. When our farm's tractors and trucks come out in a while, everyone can get on the car and go to our destination, Changji. When we get to the destination, it's time for us to show our strength. Although this land is desolate, I believe that with our enthusiasm, this land will definitely become fertile land for harvest." He Yuzhu's words were like a reassurance, which gradually calmed people's mood. His words were full of confidence and strength, as if they could dispel the cold and bring warmth to people.

Some people in the crowd began to talk in low voices, discussing the upcoming journey and imagining the new life. Some were excited about the unknown environment, while others were a little nervous, but no matter what, they all had visions and expectations for the future.

As time went by, the sound of engines could be heard in the distance. It was the vehicles of the Great Harvest Farm slowly approaching. The brand-new tractors and trucks shone with metallic luster in the sun, symbolizing hope and new life. People flocked to the vehicles, their faces filled with joyful smiles.

"Everyone, get on the bus in order and be careful," He Yuzhu shouted. He stood aside and directed people to get on the bus in an orderly manner, making sure everyone could find their seats. Soon, all the people and luggage were arranged and the convoy was ready to set off.

With a loud whistle, the tractors and trucks started slowly, the wheels rolled on the ground, raising a cloud of dust. This huge team began their journey towards Changji. They will cross the vast Gobi Desert and face a difficult environment, but they firmly believe that as long as they unite as one and work hard, they can create a better future.

In this cold western land, this brave team moves forward with dreams and hopes. Their story has just begun, and what awaits them are endless challenges and opportunities.
