Wang Yi wanted this bronze bell.

He said, "If we don't need this bell in the team in the future, then don't smelt it, sell it to me." ”

Wang Xianghong waved his hand and said, "If the school wants it, just take it." ”

Wang Yi said: "No, I want it myself, I had a classmate who entered a scientific research unit, and their unit was renovated, and they wanted to get some antique things for decoration, I think this bronze bell is good." ”

"Then I don't need any money." Wang Xianghong said happily, "You asked your classmates to help us a lot in the team, and you also sent us such an advanced generator, then we will give this bronze bell as a gift to your classmates, and you will say that this is a thank you gift in our team." ”

"Yes, there are contacts that are called feelings." Wang Dongxi said.

Wang Yi said with a smile: "The unit is not going to be redecorated by a classmate from the Northeast Advanced Scientific Research Institute, but a classmate from the capital......"

"It's all the same, it's all classmates." Wang Xianghong didn't care.

Wang Yi thought for a while and said: "That's okay, so let's do it, I'll send this bronze bell to my classmates in the capital, and let my classmates in the capital tell my classmates in the northeast that the two units are brother units, and let him come forward to ask for another set of such generators for our team." ”

Wang Xianghong asked in surprise: "Can it be done?" ”

Wang Yi patted his chest: "This is definitely a trivial matter, maybe there can be a more advanced generator, and now their unit is engaged in a machine called photovoltaic power generation, which uses sunlight to generate electricity." ”

Wang Xianghong shook his head when he heard this: "This is an exaggerated wind, how can sunlight generate electricity?" ”

"It's really possible," Wang Dongxi added, "I have seen reports in the newspaper about solar power generation, as well as wind power generation, hydropower generation, oh yes, tidal power generation, and the tide water by our sea can also generate electricity!" ”

Wang Xiang Honghu was suspicious: "Really? ”

Wang Dongxi wanted to go through the newspaper: "Really, I'll look for it, it's the science and technology report of our "Jiangnan Daily", the country wants to implement wind power generation in the northwest and southeast, and the Fuhai area has also been preliminarily selected for the pilot, you will know when the time comes......"

Wang Yi stopped him.

Dumbfounding.

Why is this so crooked?

He explained to Wang Xianghong: "The solar power generation technology is already very advanced, wait for me to contact my classmates to see if I can support a model machine for us as teaching materials, and you will believe it at that time." ”

"Now let's have a hand-cranked generator, after all, this kind of machine is simple, as long as my classmates from the Capital Research Institute help us ask for it, my classmates from the Northeast will definitely support it."

Wang Xianghong said happily: "That's great, when the militia team comes back from work, I'll ask them to get the bronze bell for you, now you continue to pedal, hurry up and continue to generate electricity!" ”

Wang Yi had no choice but to kick up again.

Liu Hongmei came in and asked, "Branch secretary, when can we connect the light?" ”

Wang Xianghong's face changed to serious: "This matter needs to be discussed in a meeting, because this generator can supply fewer light bulbs, and once you want to use an electric horn, there is no way to supply power to the light bulbs." ”

"Hold on to the horn first." Liu Hongmei said.

The onlookers outside were dissatisfied.

Feng Ya said: "The electric horn is not always used, why can't you hold the light bulb tightly?" Take the pig killed last night, it was all dark and illuminated by the oil lamp, and when he boldly cut the knife, he cut his hand. ”

"Yes." Others responded.

Liu Hongmei said calmly: "Teacher Wang is commenting on the book in front of the electric speaker, so we don't have to listen to the cold at school, we can listen to it while eating at home and lying on the hot bed!" ”

"That's right!" A group of people suddenly realized.

Feng Ya immediately changed her tone: "If you want to say that the party members and comrades have high consciousness, our director's brain is really lively, isn't this electric horn just a radio broadcast?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's radio."

"Listening to a book review at home? Isn't that the same as the radio? ”

"We don't dare to think about the radio, if every household in the team can be connected to electricity, then let's buy a chatterbox!"

Wang Yi, who was pedaling to generate electricity, was stunned.

I'm looking for something to do for myself!

Wang Xianghong went out to bombard the onlookers and continued to work, but he did not criticize the big guys, because the original intention of his speech on the electric loudspeaker just now was to show off.

Boast to the whole team that there is a generator and an electric horn on the island, and the big guys are here to meet his need to pretend to be forced, and if the big guys are not interested, he will be disappointed.

Wang Dongxi suggested that the radishes should be distributed directly to each family: "Anyway, the female comrades are here." ”

Wang Xianghong waved his hand: "That's not good, you're encouraging them to be absent from work!" ”

He had to wait until the men who went to sea got off work and broadcast it again.

Twice pretended.

Twice as happy!

Later, Wang Yi cooperated with Wang Xianghong to find the horn pole and telephone pole.

There is no shortage of pine trees on the island, and when they cleaned up Tingtaoju before, they cleared out a lot of wood, and they chose a thick and straight telephone pole to stand at the position of the bronze bell, and hung the electric horn on it.

The electric horn is iron and has rusted.

In order to protect it, Wang Xianghong went to an old carpenter named Wang Xianggao and asked him to make a rain shield with a wooden board.

Wang Yi said that in order to protect the wires, he had to find a thin plastic pipe to stick to the telephone pole, so that the wire could go down from the plastic pipe and enter the office of the brigade committee by ground, and the generator would be stored in the utility room of the office of the brigade committee.

The electric horn was erected, and the collective work in the evening was completed, and the electric horn shouted again.

Then a group of strong laborers who returned from the sea came to see the excitement.

There are also strong laborers who come to Wang Yi to find Wang Yi, who is the captain of the four groups of superborn teams.

The captain habitually hunched his back into the door and smiled: "Teacher Wang, are you busy cooking?" ”

Wang Yi is washing ribs.

He bought two pairs of pork ribs and large bones.

However, the bold knife work is quite good, and the meat on the big bones is cleaned by him, and it can only be used to stew big bone broth.

Seeing the captain enter the door, he stood up and wiped his hands with an apron: "The captain is here, is there anything wrong?" ”

The captain was carrying a bag in his hand.

He didn't answer Wang Yi's words, but smiled first: "The first time I came to the door, there was nothing to take at home, hehe, I heard that you are not rare seafood, and the clerk said that you inquired about the neem tree, so I got you some things on the neem tree." ”

The neem tree is a favorite tree of rural people in Wengzhou, it is very versatile, and the root bark can repel roundworms and hookworms for children - but it is poisonous, and it should be used strictly according to the doctor's instructions.

In addition, its root bark powder can be used to make vinegar to cure scabies, neem seed to make ointment can cure tinea capitis, and its kernel oil can be used to make lubricating oil and soap.

But these things are useless to Wang Yi, but they are sent to the door after all.

Etiquette is light and affectionate.

He accepted the gift, and the captain rubbed his hands and said: "Mr. Wang, I have to thank you for the last time, if it weren't for you, I would have become a bachelor, my wife went back and said, you gave my family food......"

"You're welcome, you can't write two king characters in one stroke, and besides, the grain last time was exchanged for your family's old money." Wang Yi interrupted him.

The captain smiled: "No one collects the old money, how can I get food?" Or Mr. Wang, you take care of our family. ”

"Actually, I've always wanted to repay you, but it's really difficult at home, there's nothing, it just so happens that the team will send radishes today, my stewed radish tastes okay, tomorrow morning I'm a ship repairer, so I want to invite you over for a meal at noon - but there are really no good things, Mr. Wang, if you're busy, forget it."

He hastened to add that his restraint and the humility of his chronic poverty could be seen.

Wang Yi said: "Okay, I just don't have a place to eat at noon tomorrow." What, I've got some pork ribs here, and you can take them back and cook some soup for the old people and children. ”

There was a rib that had not yet been chopped, and he gave it to the captain together.

The captain said that he wouldn't accept anything, but Wang Yi forced it into him.

He licked his lips stiffly with his ribs: "How can this work, how can this work." ”

Wang Yi said: "Take it back quickly, hurry up, or let others see it, I'm afraid they will go to your house to eat pork ribs." ”

The captain left gratefully and in fear.

Behind the militia, several men from the militia team carried the bronze bell with their shoulders and hands.

This bronze bell has been rusted badly by wind and rain for many years, and there is some mud and sand, and the bell has not been shaken off by ringing the bell for a long time, and it is simply growing on it.

Wang Yi wiped it vigorously with a dry towel and gently scraped it with a knife, finally making the bronze bell reveal some of its true face.

This bronze bell should be made of brass, and the whole is composed of two parts: the bell body and the hanging button.

The height of the bell is seventy or eighty centimeters, the diameter of the bottom is also seventy or eighty centimeters, and the diameter of the top is small, less than half a meter, and the overall shape is slender and slender.

The body of the bell is divided into three sections at intervals with convex string patterns, the upper section is decorated with a week pattern, the middle section is separated by eight rectangular inscriptions, and the lower section is a circle of gossip patterns, and the mouth edge is a simple and smooth arc-shaped zigzag.

Look carefully at the patterns and inscriptions on it, but unfortunately the protection is really not very good, just by rough processing it looks still blurry, plus the inscriptions are all traditional characters, Wang Yi can't understand.

But he can feel the preciousness of this bronze bell, this thing is not surprisingly an antique, but he doesn't know if it can be sold for a profit-

According to his shallow collecting experience, some copper antiques cannot be circulated in the market.

He was observing the bronze bell when someone rushed to see if the light of that generator had changed color. ”

Wang Yi followed and looked at it.

The office was crowded with men, and he looked at him as soon as he entered.

He looked at the generator, and the battery indicator changed from yellow to green, indicating that the storage was complete.

Seeing this, he smiled and told the people in the house what the three red, yellow and green lights represented.

Hearing that there is electricity in the battery, there is electricity that can be used without pedaling, so Wang Dongxi hurriedly pulled the lamp rope that had just been embedded in the wall.

All of a sudden, the lamp glowed dimly.

The crowd applauded excitedly.

Wang Yi, who brought the generator, naturally became a hero, and the men surrounded him.

Wang Yi was about to be polite, but the big guy pressed him on the chair and stuffed the hard microphone under his mouth:

"Teacher Wang, let's tell a story! Lao Hu and the fat man went to the Exquisite Ancient City, and then what? And then what? ”
