Chapter 39: Sending Bricks
There was a noise outside. Fang Yuan hurriedly went out with Su Yan, and then he saw Wei Guomin and his second brother leading a group of people. The leader was Secretary Jiang of the Qianjiang Brigade. The people behind them were pulling a truck and transporting military supplies in a mighty manner.
Like material.
"This is my home. Everyone, please take a rest!" The second brother greeted everyone, then walked up quickly and said, "Fourth, it's done!"
Fang Yuan showed a smile. At this time, Secretary Jiang also came over. Fang Yuan quickly said, "Secretary Jiang, have tea in the room. Wife, go call daddy."
"Alas!" Su Yan could hardly turn her eyes when she saw the bricks on the truck outside. She almost tripped when she was leaving.
Fang Yuan led Secretary Jiang, Wei Guomin and others into the house, and soon the father and mother who were tossing the vegetable racks behind the yard came back.
"Second child, fourth child, what is going on?" The father was confused. The bricks outside the yard gave him an immature guess, but he just thought about it and he really didn't dare to take it seriously.
Secretary Jiang said with a smile, "Brother, we are from the Qianjiang Production Team. We are here today to thank your son Fang Yuan for his great efforts and contribution to the renovation of the kiln factory of our Qianjiang Production Team."
"Ah?" Dad looked at Fang Yuan in confusion, and then said, "What did you do? You did it in such a rousing manner."
Wei Guomin hurriedly said, "Brother, Fang Yuan really made a contribution this time. He helped others improve the formula of the kiln and improve the efficiency of brick production. The Qianjiang Brigade rewarded Fang Yuan with red bricks as agreed before.
"
Fang Yuan quickly said at this time, "It's just a fluke. I still have to thank Secretary Jiang for giving me the opportunity."
Secretary Jiang was all smiles. Today, under the command of the second son of the Fang family, he tried a new formula. The result was really good. The efficiency of brick making doubled. Moreover, this is still a new formula. Everyone should be cautious when working. If you go all out,
If fired, Secretary Jiang estimated that the output should be increased a lot.
Secretary Jiang said to Fang Yuan, "Fang Yuan, according to our previous agreement, in the next few days, we will bring you as many bricks as our Qianjiang brigade produces, and we will burn another kiln of tiles for you."
"Thank you, thank you." Fang Yuan said with a smile, and then said, "I will get some water for the brothers outside first. Come all the way here, you must be so thirsty!"
When Fang Yuan said this, I quickly said, "Don't worry about it. Just talk and we'll do it."
Fang Yuan was held down by his mother, and then he took Su Yan, his second sister-in-law, and his third sister-in-law to go out to get water for others. Secretary Jiang said, "I'm sorry to bother you, sister."
On a hot day, a group of people pulled a cart over. They couldn't stand it without drinking some water to relieve the heat, so Secretary Jiang was not too polite.
After saying that, Secretary Jiang turned to Fang Yuan and said, "Today we will produce 65,000 yuan of bricks. Based on this efficiency, it is estimated that we can produce about 380,000 yuan in five days. Do you have room to put them here?"
Before Fang Yuan could say anything, Wei Guomin quickly said, "Don't worry, there is a place to put them. I'll have people clean up the barn and put bricks for them first."
"That's okay." Secretary Jiang smiled and nodded, and said to his father, "Brother, your son is so capable. In one sentence, he can double the efficiency of our Qianjiang brigade's kiln factory. As the saying goes, heroes emerge from youth.
, even if it makes people dissatisfied."
"What kind of hero is he? He's already 21 this year." Although the father seemed to be disgusted, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes. What father doesn't want others to praise his cub?
Although I still don’t know what my son’s idea was, seeing how he was thanking me and giving me bricks, it must have been a big help.
A few people were sitting and chatting. Secretary Jiang said, "I really didn't expect that this formula just added coal ash to clay, and the result was such a big change. Xiao Fang, can you tell me what the reason is?"
Fang Yuan smiled. He heard this recipe mentioned when he was talking to patients, and said, "Actually, it's very simple. The production of our Qianjiang Brigade cannot increase, mainly because the heat generated by burning coal is wasted."
"When coal ash is added to the clay, during the heating process, the internal coal ash is ignited, and the heat bakes the clay inside. This is equivalent to double forging both inside and outside. The fired bricks are strong, but the coal ash is light, so the overall
The weight has also become lighter.”
The principle is said to be simple, but even for such a simple thing, many people just can’t think of it, so that’s why the Chinese word for understanding comes into play.
Secretary Jiang suddenly understood and clicked his tongue: "The truth is simple, but how can ordinary people think of this? It is no wonder that now we have to resume the college entrance examination and re-train college students. There are some things that cannot be done without education."
Wei Guomin said with a smile, "That's true. When Fang Yuan was in school, his grades were good, but it's a pity that this kid didn't study hard at that time. He developed a medical skill and talked about becoming a barefoot doctor. It happened that the original Dr. Li of the brigade was already quite old.
, or if you follow suit this year, you will be the barefoot doctor of the team!"
Fang Yuan smiled and said nothing, what is a barefoot doctor? The so-called "red" does not mean barefoot, but refers to the color red, which requires a revolutionary consciousness, and feet refers to the lowest level. 72 years ago, barefoot doctors
There is no need for any assessment, as long as you can give injections and prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs, the production team can recommend them.
However, the barefoot doctors selected in this way generally have mediocre medical skills. I would not say that they rely entirely on blindness to treat patients, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that they are outrageous, because injections, maiming, and even death of people often happen.
So after 1972, in order to ensure the level of barefoot doctors, some places started basic training, including mentoring from the elderly. Just like what Wei Guomin said just now, let the old doctors mentor Fang Yuan.
After the 1980s, the production team system was disbanded, but the country was short of medical talents, so a group of barefoot doctors who were relatively young and had certain experience and cultural foundation were simply recruited. After secondary training, they were put into local hospitals.
Fang Yuan followed this path in his last life. He worked in Jianghuai Hospital for twenty years. Later, when he got older, he retired from the hospital and returned to the village to open his own clinic.
In order to become this barefoot doctor in my previous life, I had to give evidence to Dr. Li a lot, but there is nothing shameful about it. After 72 years, not to mention other places, if the barefoot doctors near Jianghuai want to work, they have to go through
The teacher's approval means that you have graduated, and only then can you start working on your own.
To be honest, my status as a barefoot doctor in my previous life did allow me to transcend classes. Although it was not that good in my life, it was still good compared with my peers who faced the loess and turned their backs to the sky. However, the bitterness in it was nothing to be surprised about.
Humanity, so Fang Yuan has given up being a barefoot doctor in this life. With this matter in mind, spending time with his wife and children is nothing better than anything else?
