Chapter 326: Accident in the opening of the mountain and blasting rocks
After Chen's father and Chen's mother passed away one after another, the silly eldest sister has been in charge of the family since she was 16 years old, and she has suffered too much.
If it weren't for her hard work to carry bricks and do farm work to feed her younger brothers and sisters, it is estimated that she would have starved to death long ago.
"Sister, I think so, you have indeed been indispensable in the family in the past few years, but this year, my little brother and sister are going to high school, I am going to let them live in the school, me and Lijuan, you can rest assured, someone will take care of you."
So this year, you also have to think about your own problems and find a good in-law. Don't think it's okay if you're a rural girl, our family is richer than ordinary people, you have a business to make money, and I will leave this house to you at that time, who dares to underestimate you? ”
The stupid eldest sister was anxious, and lightly hit Chen Qi:
"What nonsense are you talking about, boy? You bought this house, and your stinky tofu and bacon business is also yours, how can you give it to me? Besides, after my sister takes care of you, I have to take care of my eldest nephew and eldest niece, so I am busy and have no time to get married. ”
Chen Qi smiled, looked at the few people who were chattering in the hall, and said in a low voice:
"Sister, don't worry, now that I have money, I have saved a lot of foreign exchange for foreigners, you can rest assured, find me a brother-in-law, this is also what my parents want to see the most."
On this kind of topic, the stupid eldest sister didn't take it to heart at all, and said perfunctorily:
"Okay, okay, I know, I'll look for me. By the way, did you have dinner? I'll boil you egg noodles to go? ”
Chen Qi sighed, and could only go with the flow, "Sister, don't be busy, let's go, let's watch the color TV together." ”
That night, the four sisters of the Chen family had a rare reunion, eating foreign snacks while watching the big color TV, excitedly talking about the programs on TV, and not going to bed until late.
After Chen Qi went to work the next day, he really got into the operating room and didn't run out, and started his own "lurking".
After the establishment of the "Haidong Provincial Cleft Lip and Palate Treatment Center", it will start to engage in infrastructure construction, which does not need Chen Qi to worry about, and naturally the logistics and infrastructure department of the hospital will handle it.
The four hospitals originally had a plan to expand the center, but this time the province directly allocated funds, so the scale was larger, and 300 beds and 3 operating rooms were ready to be established.
Although the province does not have much money, it is easy for the province to allocate 500,000 yuan, which is not only for infrastructure, but also enough for the treatment center to purchase a full set of machinery and medical equipment for cleft lip and palate surgery.
Chen Qi knew that it was easy for cadres to fall on the infrastructure, so he decided not to stick to the leaves, and subcontracted all the projects, and only asked the Fourth Academy to do a good job of supervision.
He himself is ready to first make the name of "Haidong Provincial Cleft Lip and Palate Treatment Center" known in the whole province and even the whole country.
But often the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop.
Three months have passed.
It was May 1985, the weather was starting to get warmer, and the farming season was here.
With the deepening of reform and opening up, all parts of Vietnam and China have also begun to build vigorous infrastructure.
No, Chen Qi's hometown of Xingtang Township is also preparing to build a road to connect Keqiao Town, and if you want to get rich and build a road first, it was also an iron law in the 80s.
In those years, there were no regular engineering teams for road construction in rural areas, let alone any design companies.
Asphalt roads or cement roads are even more impossible, and it is generally necessary to repair a roadbed, pave it with broken stones and press it with rolling stones.
For the people in the mountains, as long as there is a mechanized road, which allows tractors or horse-drawn carts to pass, it doesn't matter if it is a wow.
After all, the cost is there, and you can't ask for too much.
However, building roads in the mountains is different from flat land, although there are fewer river networks, and there is no need to build many bridges, but the mountains are one after another, so it is necessary to sew the mountains and open the roads.
If there is a condition, you can only dig along the side of the mountain, but then the amount of work will increase, and it will be full of dangers, after all, you have to blow some stones with a detonator.
Since the construction of roads is for the benefit of the township, and everyone has a share, then every household must produce a man, or how much money each family pays, which is also determined by the township covenant and civil regulations.
If you have a lot of money, you can pay someone to build the road for you.
Those who don't have money can only go on their own.
These are all voluntary labors, and they are not paid, but the public society takes care of a meal, tea is free, and snacks are not considered.
The same local female comrades who cook rice and water are housewives who have no strong labor, except for the village women director and female militia.
Anyway, no matter what you do, you must work hard, otherwise you will be drowned by the spittle stars of the villagers.
For example, in Xia Ze Village, Chen Qi's uncle had to work on the construction site himself.
And Chen Qi's family is all in the village except for him, and the grandparents are also independent, so Chen Qi asked someone to bring money to the village and bought two places.
Originally, Chen Qi could not have paid this money at all, and he didn't want to have anything to do with Xia Ze Village, but it was a good thing to build roads, and he also had to do his part, and at the same time said that he would not be cheap to the people in the village.
Liandong Village is also a passing village for this new road, so the village chief Zhang Agen has arranged today's day's work early.
17-year-old Zhang Xiaodong, whose thin body is like a hemp stick, has already followed the villagers to work with a hoe.
Zhang Xiaodong's family is in a special situation, his father died of a serious illness a few years ago, and his mother was too weak to engage in manual labor, and there are 4 younger brothers and sisters below.
So even if Zhang Xiaodong is underage, he has become the pillar of the family.
It's a pity that Zhang Xiaodong doesn't have the good luck of "Chen Qi", he is not reborn or crossed, and he doesn't have any Jin Lao Zhi grandfather to help him, so he has to do all the farm work at home alone.
Including this road construction work, he is the only "male who is close to adulthood" in the family, and he is about to work.
In these days, there is no such thing as child labor and female labor, and the Young Pioneers and Women's Pioneers are very popular.
Just when everyone was in full swing, because the stone was loosened due to the explosion of the mountain, a piece of stone rolled down and threw it at the road builders at the foot of the mountain.
The village chief, Zhang Agen, had experience, and knew that it was going to be bad when a small stone fell on the mountain, so he shouted loudly:
"Dodge, dodge, the stone is going to fall~~~"
When the villagers heard this, they all ran in both directions.
However, the speed of falling rocks must be faster than the speed of human running, and rolling down from the mountain, rolling down the mountain does not necessarily go anywhere, it is a random harvest of human life.
Older mountain people have experience and will look for a place to dodge.
It was also Zhang Xiaodong's bad luck, the villagers took care of him and asked him to smash small stones at the foot of the mountain to repair the roadbed, but when the rocks fell, he was the innermost and ran the slowerest.
Phew, became the best unlucky guy on the scene, and was hit by a stone.
