Chapter 813 [812] Famine Era 53 (1 update)

The road to Xinjiang is long and far, and the more we go west, the colder the weather becomes. Even if the train stops to ship supplies every time we go to a place, it is still difficult to withstand the severe cold of winter. Children's patience is limited and they can still be controlled at the beginning, but they gradually become irritable and crying. Fortunately, there are children on the sleeper berth next to them. The noisy parents are used to this scene, so no one should dislike anyone.

The twin siblings don’t know how to walk, they can only crawl. She put on special crawling clothes and climbed underground whatever they want. As long as they don’t make noise or make trouble, they’ll be happy.

Children like to play with older children, and these twins are no exception. Zhuangzhuang is a little older. I know that this is his younger brother and sister, so I love it very much. I follow him wherever I go. I watch and don’t allow other children to bully them, and I’m praised by other military wives.

Their group of people who went to the Xinjiang Corps were not only military wives, but also outstanding young and middle-aged people. Re-transformed soldiers, intellectuals, and scientific and technological personnel joined the ranks of the Corps and devoted themselves to Xinjiang construction. This is the dedication that only the older generation has.

However, their carriages are all soldiers' families, and most of them are in action and bring their wives and children to Xinjiang.

Of course, the level of these military wives can also be seen through their dressing. Some are simple rural people, some are intellectuals, and some are not people who can endure hardships at first glance. No matter how long they can last in Xinjiang, at least this trip is better than many people.

The place they went to this time was Beitun City, mainly distributed in Beitun City, Altay, Tacheng, and the 10th Agricultural Division Division. It officially moved to this city in November 1959. This time, Tong Zhan went directly to the division headquarters to report it.

However, on the train tracks, they went on and off for almost a month. After arriving in Xinjiang, they used large trucks to transport them for more than ten days. When the large army officially arrived at the area where they were going to fight in the future, it was already mid-to-late March. They set off in early February and walked for a month and a half. The speed was no longer the same, which made both adults and children very difficult.

Even Ye Huan herself felt that she had lost several pounds. Whenever this time, Tong Zhan would come over to tease her: "Do you regret it?"

"Repentance is not going to be the case. It is really tiring!" The future is unknown, how can you just say regret?

"You are so stubborn. OK. Next, you may have to take your children to live on this farm for a while. We have to build a place to live in the future. Only when we can we move there and start a new life."

Xinjiang is really too big. Even this farm will have to be three or five days away from their 183rd Regiment in the future. This time, a thousand people came to their group, and only one-twentieth of them have families and families. In the future, she will probably not be able to meet her sister without ten days or half a month.

According to locals on the farm, the climate characteristics of Beitun are severe cold in winter, drought and windy in spring, long winter and short summer, and the frost-free period is about 120 days on average, with only 74 days at the shortest time, and the extreme minimum temperature is minus 49 degrees Celsius.

Doesn’t it scary just to hear this?

Therefore, in Xinjiang, in addition to seeing nomadic tents, the most distinctive living environment is the ground nest. The so-called ground nest is to dig a hole underground with one or two meters exposed as a roof. Such a house is low and can resist wind and sand, warm in winter and cool in summer, and has earthen kangs inside, and can also burn earthen kangs in winter, which is very practical.

It is adjacent to Kazakhstan in the west, Russia in the north, and Mongolia in the east, and it is also an important border. However, when the 10th Division is moved to this place, it is still deserted.

Beitun has rich resources and great development potential.

First, there are sufficient water, soil and light resources, and have good conditions for comprehensive ecological agriculture development.

There are two major water systems in the territory, the Ertzis River and the Ulungu River, and 58 rivers of all sizes. Although they are unevenly distributed, they show that there is no shortage of water. How to use this water to carry out aquaculture is a relatively difficult place.

There are more than 30 species of fish here, including rare Chinese fish species such as white spotted pike, river perch, jiangbo, oriental vermilion, and the conditions for developing aquaculture are superior.

In addition, the land resources in the reclamation area are also rich and have great development potential. Although the area is located in a short frost-free period and low effective temperature, it has a long sunshine time and sufficient light resources. The agricultural and animal husbandry production conditions are unique. The planting area of ​​high-efficiency economic crops such as grain, cotton, melons, cantaloupe, and tomatoes is expanding year by year.

Danfeng Chaoyang no longer drinks milk powder much now. When there is no one, she will sneak into the space to make some millet pumpkin porridge and rice and red date porridge for them to supplement their children's nutrition. The three children will eat at least one egg every day.

After knowing that Tong Zhan was going to build a house, she would ask how this land nest was built every day when she came back.

As she said, a large pit in all directions was dug downwards from the ground, and the three-cornered nests were built with poplar wood exposed to the ground, a skylight was installed on the sunrise, a layer of straw was laid on the wood, and a thick layer of grass mud was covered with straw.

In the cold winter, a hollow fire wall half a person high is built with adobe, which can heat up rice, dry clothes and quilts, and the firewood in the stove is burning red, and the room is warm. Although the air is a bit dirty and the smell is not so good, at least it will not allow you to be frozen to death at a temperature of several dozen degrees below zero.

Of course, there is also a disadvantage, that is, air leakage. It is said that when the plants and trees sprout, sometimes a few reeds will grow on the land on the bedside!

The advantage is that it can withstand the common wind and sand in desertified areas, and is warm in winter and cool in summer, but has poor ventilation.

Every year in spring and autumn, strong winds from Siberia are violent and frequent, and they will blow for one or two days.

Seeing the good weather, the clear sky suddenly changed color, and the sand and rocks flew in an instant, making it difficult for people to stand and walk. The construction site could not go, so they had to get into the ground nest and "wind and rest" together.

The sky is filled with yellow dust and pouring into the ground nest. It is still difficult to use quilts and clothes to plug leaks. All the exposed organs are filled with dust. Everyone is like a monkey, but it doesn't matter if they are used to it.

The land nest is not only the "dormitory" where these soldiers live, but also the canteen, conference room, etc.

There are more than a dozen people living in a land nest of more than 10 square meters, and many people from the Corps get married and have children in the land nest.

In summer, the temperature on the Gobi Desert is as high as 40 degrees Celsius.

1. After the strong wind at night, the bed was covered with sand.

The temperature in winter is over minus 20 degrees Celsius, and the Gobi Desert is full of thick ice and snow.

When sleeping at night, wear a fur hat and a fur coat.

Even so, it was still cold, and there were still ice on my head when I woke up in the morning.

These are the living environments of the soldiers of the Construction Corps when they first came to Xinjiang.

There is a lot of descriptions about Beitun and Diwozi's characteristics. In order to avoid someone saying that I will make up the number of words, I will add more than 100 words in each chapter in the future (in fact, many of them have more than 100 words in the first one) to make up for it until it is almost done.

No charges will be charged if it is less than 200 yuan. I hope you know everything, thank you~~~~
