Chapter 11 Joy
Gao Baosheng drove back and when he arrived at the school gate, he saw that it was very lively inside. Shen Ruobing and his older children were helping everyone. It turned out that none of the men in the village had gone to check the saplings today and were repairing the roof of the school. !
"You're back! Did everything go smoothly?" Shen Ruobing learned from Gao Guoliang that he had gone to Baota City to pull sand control grass, and asked when he saw Gao Baosheng coming back.
"Everything went well. I think the roof of the classroom is almost removed?" Gao Baosheng asked.
"The village chief said that the cow felt on the roof had been severely weathered for a long time, and there were many leaks. The roofs of my house and warehouse were also demolished!" Shen Ruobing said, feeling very happy. Although the people here are poor, the villagers are very united and Gao After Guoliang gave an order, almost everyone in the village came to help.
"Well! I'm going to see my dad and see if he still lacks any materials!" Gao Baosheng said and entered the school. Gao Guoliang saw his son coming back and had someone hang him from the roof.
"How's it going?" Gao Guoliang said expectantly. If the person who was most anxious about the sand control was definitely Gao Guoliang, he was the village chief and the entire Gaojiawan wanted him to take the lead.
"Everything goes well, a bundle of forty square meters is quite a lot. I will send the grass to the sand control belt later." Gao Baosheng said with a smile.
"That's great! My son, you are awesome! Do you need help?" Gao Guoliang asked happily.
"No need, the trucks are self-unloading, just go about your business. I think almost all the roofs of this school have been lifted, do you still have enough materials?" Gao Baosheng asked.
"This school house is old, and many of the tiles on it are broken. The plastic sheet you bought is enough, but the nails and wires are not enough. I have asked people to cut the straw curtains by the lake, and the tiles are still not enough. Some." Gao Guoliang said.
"How many tiles are there?" Gao Baosheng asked.
"1840 yuan!" Gao Guoliang said.
"Okay, I will deliver the tiles in the afternoon, you can work first and try not to affect the children's class the day after tomorrow." Gao Baosheng said.
After leaving the school gate, Gao Baosheng got into the truck. He drove three miles south. When he saw that there was no one around, he got out of the car and got into the truck. He released sand and grass from all directions from the space [warehouse] and waited for more than ten minutes. Then I drove north.
There is a road that does not pass through the village. It is a road that is used to transport sand control grass and saplings to the village every year. Gao Baosheng drove the truck loudly. He passed the village and headed north to the tree planting area of their village.
Wherever you can see, there are small pits surrounded by yellow sand. Some of the saplings in these small pits are already more than two meters high, and some are only two feet tall. They were replanted last year.
About 10% of the saplings in the entire sandy field are dead. The villagers have pulled out the dead saplings and placed them beside the pit in the past few days. This year they will have to continue planting trees in it.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Gao Baosheng couldn't help but admire his father and the people in the village. They have been able to plant trees unremittingly so that Gaojiawan Village can survive here. This endless loess pit has been their life for decades. The results of the battle.
Continuing forward, the saplings here are getting smaller and smaller, and the survival rate has begun to decrease. In some places, there is no living tree. There is no road ahead. It becomes difficult for the truck to walk in the sand. Gao Baosheng does not dare to let go.
As the accelerator continued to move forward, large beads of sweat fell from his forehead.
Walking two miles further, there are no trees planted in many sand pits. Here, there are "well" shapes made of anti-sand grass. So in some places, the yellow sand has submerged the sand grass, and in some places, the sand grass is covered with sand.
It had been blown away by the wind a long time ago.
Gao Guoliang has 30 years of experience in sand control and tree planting. He can see at a glance which piece of sand has been blown away by the sand control grass. Where the wind is the strongest at Lvhaikou, sand control grass cannot be used to stabilize it, and where sand control grass must be used.
Where the sandy soil is stable, you can try planting trees.
At this time in China, there are not many talents in desert control. It is the local people who have summed up their own experience. They have lived here for generations. As long as they are used to the intensity of sandstorms, they can keep this trace of green in the desert.
Seeing the mark made by his father, this piece of anti-sand grass was seriously missing. Gao Baosheng removed a piece of anti-sand grass from the space [warehouse] and continued walking north.
Based on experience, Gao Baosheng turned all the small air vents and evenly dropped the sand-proof grass in the areas with a lot of sand-proof grass in the area of more than 4,000 acres. When the time comes, he will know how to untie the wooden boards around the sand-proof grass, and the sand-proof grass will be
It's ready to use.
Such a heavy anti-sand grass was not opened, and it was not afraid of being blown away by the strong wind, and no one would come to this hot place to steal the grass. It only took half an hour to complete the task, and even the square sand-proof grass that was in the carriage was thrown away.
The place to go.
Gao Baosheng started to drive back. When he returned to the village, he did not enter the village, but drove towards the countryside.
There is a brick and tile factory in the southwest of Mengjiawan Township near Yuyang County. Buy the tiles and transport them back while there are cars. Anyway, you have enough time.
When he came to the brick and tile factory, Gao Baosheng asked about the price. A blue brick cost six cents, a red brick cost four cents, and a blue brick cost only one cent and a half. Gao Baosheng bought two thousand green tiles for three hundred yuan. He just bought it yesterday.
The township government received a thousand yuan, but now he only has 498 and a half yuan left. After paying for the truck, he still has more than 280 yuan left.
Make money and spend it. There is nothing reluctant to spend money on the village school. Gao Baosheng has a way to make money.
Driving back, I went to the Xiangli Department Store to buy iron wire and nails. Although the price here was a bit more expensive, it saved me a trip to the county seat. Passing by the Xiangli Guest House, Gao Baosheng stopped the car and bought some vegetables, and then went to the side.
The store bought a pair of filtered Golden Monkey cigarettes, some peanuts and melon seeds, and the 54 yuan was gone, so he drove back home.
When he got home, the school happened to be under construction. Gao Guoliang was walking home when he heard the sound of cars in the distance and stopped.
"Have all the anti-sand grass been transported?" Gao Guoliang asked.
"The luck is over! Dad, let everyone who helped the school today go to our house for dinner! I just went to the countryside to pull green tiles and buy vegetables!" Gao Baosheng said.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I didn't even hear the big car coming. You bought the green tile back so quickly? You also bought vegetables from the village guest house!" Gao Guoliang left
I came over and took a look at the carriage, and found that the green tiles were not arranged neatly.
"Maybe you didn't pay attention when you were working, because my friend's car was far away. The money was all tolls provided by the village, and my friend didn't confiscate the money." Gao Baosheng said.
"There's no charge for this. You have to invite people to your house, right? You can't spend it like this if you have some money.
Just park your car at the school. After dinner, we'll move the tiles. When you come back, call Teacher Shen!" Gao Guoliang put his hands behind his back, took long steps, and hummed a little tune as he went home.
His son fell into a lake and almost died. When he woke up, he not only became more talkative, but he was also able to do work for the family and the village. This made Gao Guo's conscience very gratifying.
It's hard to explain why he spent such money on the school without Teacher Shen. It would be better if he married Shen Ruobing home! Gao Guoguo thought happily.
Gao Baosheng drove the car to the school gate, honked the horn and soon Shen Ruobing opened the door to the maximum, watching Gao Baosheng drive in.
"You must have spent a lot of money to buy the tiles back so quickly!" Shen Ruobing was still sweating on her forehead. She was cleaning the school's construction waste alone.
"Let's go! Lock the door and go to my house. We are going to my house for dinner today." Gao Baosheng turned off the engine, got out of the car and said to Shen Ruobing.
Shen Ruobing went back to his dormitory and locked the door, then locked the school door, and walked side by side to Gao Baosheng's home.
"If it weren't for you...the school's roof wouldn't be repairable, you've paid so much!" Shen Ruobing was a little embarrassed.
Gao Baosheng knew what Shen Ruobing meant, and it was a joke to say this to make him lose his mind. She didn't want Gao Baosheng to pay too much because of herself. It was not easy for rural people to make money. What Gao Baosheng did was enough to cover two houses for his family. A house!
"Why do you think so much? It would be great to do something for the village. If it weren't for you, I might not have discovered that I could do this.
Even if you leave in the future, the school environment will improve and the possibility of retaining teachers will be much greater, and the children in the village will be able to read more!" Gao Baosheng said.
"I will not leave until the internship is over. You are very special and different from what ordinary people think!" Shen Ruobing said.
"Aren't you the same!" Gao Baosheng glanced at Shen Ruobing and said with a smile, and Shen Ruobing also laughed.
Shen Ruobing saw Gao Baosheng carrying the vegetables and melon seeds he bought, and helped him share some of the weight. The two talked about school and quickly returned to Gao Baosheng's home.
At home, Gao Baosheng's cousins were playing in the yard. When they saw Shen Ruobing coming in, they behaved like a cat. The second aunt, the third aunt, and the mother were busy in the kitchen. Gao Yigong and the fourth uncle came back carrying a table. It was noon today at home. There are many people and one table is not enough.
The driver was talking to Gao Guoliang in the yard when he saw Gao Baosheng come in with a beautiful city girl and gave Gao Baosheng a smile that only a man could understand.
"Brother, have you finished your work?" the driver asked.
"It's over, there are still some bricks in the car. Just move the bricks down after dinner. Thank you stepbrother for today!" The relationship between the two instantly rose to the level of brothers.
"Thank you, brother, it's not like you didn't pay for it, which makes me feel embarrassed!" the driver said with a smile.
"Yigong, go to the kitchen and get some more plates. Third uncle, unpack the beer and drinks. Let's start dinner when everyone is here!" Gao Guoliang began to direct at this time, and soon the two tables were put together, and the village All the men crowded around.
There were more than ten dishes on the dinner table. Liu Fenglan, Hu Huihui and others did not want to come to the big table, so they went to eat at the small table next to it with Shen Ruobing. Gao Guoliang asked someone to share a little of each dish with the small table. The food in this guest house is quite large, enough for everyone to eat.
Gao Baosheng and the villagers ate vegetables and drank wine loudly. As the head of the house, Gao Guoliang's smile never broke off. Everyone praised Gao Baosheng for his ability, not only to get the anti-sand grass back, but also to repair it for the school. On the roof, Gao Baosheng could hear the gratitude in the villagers' words. They all looked forward to having a capable person in the village, so that many things would be easier to handle.
"I asked today. Several other villages in Luojiawan have been going to the countryside every day these days. The matter of sand control grass has not been decided yet. If the sand control grass is not available by mid-July, what temperature will the sand control belt be in August? , it’s simply not something people can bear.” A villager said.
"We can repair the sand control belt tomorrow. Last year, there was a strong wind and sand, and many saplings did not survive. This year, there are more sand control grasses. We can push the sand control belt further, and the tree planting area will definitely be better next year." Gao Guozhong is confident. said.
"Baosheng, I didn't expect you to be so capable. You could have done all the anti-sand grass in two days without my brother coming..." Before Gao Guoming could speak, Gao Baosheng couldn't stand the praise he was receiving.
"Third uncle, you haven't seen the sand control grass yet! That's why I'm so impressed. In the past few years, I have paid less attention to the village while studying, and I have participated less in sand control and tree planting. If Gaojiawan wants to live a good life in the future, we must Everyone needs to work together!" Gao Baosheng was talking to everyone. This meal made the men in the village begin to recognize him. Gao Guoliang always brought the topic to his son. Everyone could see that Gao Guoliang valued his son. .
At another table, Liu Fenglan, Hu Huihui and others kept picking up food for Shen Ruobing. Shen Ruobing's bowl was always full. Everyone seemed to talk casually, but they couldn't get around Gao Baosheng. Shen Ruobing was right. This is also the purpose of knowing Gao Baobao’s mother and aunts.
The meal lasted two hours, and all the food and drinks were drunk. The men went to school and continued their busy work. Today was Gao Baosheng's treat. They couldn't be lazy when working for the school.
Shen Ruobing left with the villagers, and the driver followed Gao Baosheng. It was already three o'clock. Although he had eaten and drank well today, Gao Baosheng hadn't paid yet!
"This is two hundred and one. Brother Step, please click. This time is passing quickly. It's already three o'clock. Please remove the tiles from the car later. Brother Step, you can leave!" Gao Baosheng took out the money and handed it over. driver.
"Brother, you are quick to do things. If you have something to do in the future, go to the county to see me. You are my friend and brother.
Brother will give you a preferential price next time you use the car. It's getting late today, so I went to the school to have a look." The driver took the money and left.
Gao Baosheng came to the school and saw that the driver was moving tiles from the car with the villagers. After the car was empty, he drove away quickly. Now that he is back, he is lucky to get another business today.
Working together with the villagers, Gao Guoliang commanded under the scorching sun. The roof of the school was quickly covered with straw curtains. Several people covered the straw curtains with plastic sheets on the roof. Watching them striding on the roof, Gao Baosheng's heart was in his throat. Eyes on it.
There was no safety rope anywhere in the village. Gao Baosheng soon discovered that his worries were unnecessary. Everyone was very familiar with these tasks. He wanted to go to the house to help but was blocked by the villagers. He was also prevented from doing key tasks. In the end, Gao Baosheng Baosheng can only clean up construction waste with Shen Ruobing.
"You seem to work very little!" Shen Ruobing looked at Gao Baosheng and asked with a smile.
"Well, I only knew how to study before, and my father and three uncles did all the work at home." Gao Baosheng said while working.
"There are still two months until college starts. Do you still plan to go to college?" Shen Ruobing asked.
