It is already early July, and Lujiawan has ushered in two great events.

Needless to say, the first thing is that the book "First Aid Manual" "edited" by Mr. Chen was officially launched, and before the book arrived at Xinhua Bookstore, hundreds of copies were booked by many units. Coupled with the individual single purchase, it has set a sales record for Xinhua Bookstore in Nanhu Commune, even higher than the last three issues of "Jiangnan Literature and Art".

Of course, it is a single-period sales record.

If you count the total sales, it must be "Jiangnan Literature and Art" to win.

The three issues of "Jiangnan Literature and Art" magazine in May, June and July, the reason why it has such high sales is inseparable from Chen Fan.

Because there is Mr. Chen's article "On the Field of Hope" on it!

In particular, the cadres who have been in the production team in various units think that the protagonist written by Mr. Chen has their own shadow, and they have bought it and given it away.

In order to show their support for the squatting site and show off their achievements, the cultural rooms of various units are also enthusiastically purchased, but this is not as good as a "First Aid Manual".

In this regard, it can only be said that people's sense of collective honor is really strong.

And the biggest profit is naturally Lujiawan, who "cultivated" Chen Fan.

For a time, Lujiawan was famous in Gufeng County, let alone in Nanhu Commune. All units of the commune sent invitations to the brigade headquarters, wanting to invite Chen Fan to give lectures in the past, and even from the county.

Let Chen Fan tell them what kind of mentality and what kind of spirit he is in, so that he can delve into the "respiratory foreign body removal method", and what kind of idea makes him think of compiling a first-aid manual to serve the masses and contribute to the society!

Chen Fan refused all of this, and strongly recommended Zhang Wenliang and Zhang Juemin to perform.

He is mainly afraid of trouble, and he doesn't want to be in the limelight, he just wants to live his free life in peace.

The four leaders of the brigade headquarters also unanimously agreed after a brief discussion.

They were also afraid that as soon as Chen Fan went out, he would be abducted by other units.

Although Chen Fan firmly refused the invitation of the health department of the prefectural party committee, what if there were better conditions offered by the county unit?

For example, in the past, they were divided into rooms, treated according to the level of cadres, and maybe even given a wife.

No matter how good-looking the girls in Lujiawan are, they are also village girls, can they be compared with the cultural people in the city? When the time comes, both of them will get a salary, and a two-cadre family will not be better than in Lujiawan? !

Therefore, they firmly supported Chen Fan's idea, and no matter which unit invited them, they all played Tai Chi with a smile.

Praise and gifts will not be refused, and no one will be given!

Pushing back and forth, those units could only agree to let Zhang Wenliang and Zhang Juemin go out in the end.

Anyway, they all appeared in books, or real demonstrations, with them, the persuasiveness was not weaker than Chen Fan.

Moreover, the rewards of the health department of the prefectural party committee for this incident have also come down, and relevant personnel at all levels have been rewarded, and Zhang Juemin's benefit is that he was specially promoted by the Nanhu Health Center and became an honorable regular worker.

Counting the previous ten years of experience as a barefoot doctor, he was given a salary of 56 yuan for level 4.

In the whole health center, it is considered to be at the upper middle level.

Because there are not many cadres in the health center, they are basically workers, and it is already very good to be able to boil to the fourth level.

68 years ago, technical secondary school and university graduates were mainly distributed according to demand, and they were allocated wherever they were needed.

In this case, the units of large cities and key large-scale projects naturally have more advantages, and the major units have also given the most superior conditions in order to grab people.

This is also the origin of college students who "go out" to become cadres, and later it became a common practice.

However, it does not mean that there are regulations that cadres must be appointed for secondary school and university graduates.

After the resumption of the college entrance examination, the distribution of these graduates is also the same, so there is a "golden decade" for secondary school students.

Think about it, they all graduated from junior high school, one is that they only need to study for another three or four years to enter the unit as a cadre, and the other is that they need to study for another six to eight years before they can enter the unit as a cadre, and at that time, everyone's salary standards are still about the same, how will you choose?

It's just that the superiors sent a notice in 68, and there are two key ones.

First, in the assignment of jobs to graduates, it is necessary to completely break the old system in which graduates of colleges and universities can only be assigned cadres and cannot be workers or peasants as soon as they go out.

What does it mean?

The graduates during this period of time are either cadres who come out, and they must start from farmers and workers first!

Second, in the distribution of graduates, we must adhere to the principle of facing the rural areas, the frontiers, the industrial and mining industries, and the grassroots units, and integrating them with the masses of workers and peasants.

That is, the former large city units and large project units will no longer have the advantage of preferential selection.

How exactly it is divided depends on where the graduates come from.

If you are from a big city, you can still stay, if it is a small place, especially in a rural area, the best place to go is also the local county seat!

But who would be willing to go to the commune and get off the production team?

Even if you stay in the county, you have to go to the countryside often to go to the countryside for medical treatment, and 99.99% of the people want to stay in the county.

Therefore, there are really few talents in the commune health centers below, and there are naturally few people with few talents and high salaries, so it is not surprising that Zhang Juemin can occupy the middle and upper reaches.

And let Zhang Juemin and Zhang Wenliang go out together, and the health center is also happy.

Zhang Juemin is already a member of the health center, which is also to make the commune health center famous.

Zhang Wenliang and Zhang Juemin worked hard in various units of Nanhu Commune, and then went to other places after the transfer, painful and happy, and worked hard for the glory of Lujiawan.

This became the first happy event in Lujiawan, and the second happy event was that the brick kiln, which had been delayed for a month, finally started.

When the brick kiln is built, you can burn the bricks to build a small water tower, and then you can start building a small water tower smoothly, and you will be about to use tap water, isn't it a great joy?!

Chen Fan sat in a makeshift straw hut with a teapot in his hand, directing the construction of a brick kiln.

"Burning bricks is a technical job, but the technical content is like this, it's not complicated, just look at it once."

As he spoke, he put down the teapot, stood up and walked out, and Huang Ying next to him immediately handed over a straw hat.

He took it and put it on top of his head, crossed his hands on his waist, and shouted loudly, "In a few days, it will be a double robbery, and we will rush to burn the bricks before the double robbery." The team headquarters said that I don't need to teach skills, I don't need a fart, as long as this thing is a normal person, I can teach it once. ”

Someone next to him immediately shouted, "Teacher Chen, are you going to teach us to burn bricks?" ”

Chen Fan turned his head to look at it and said with a smile, "Master Peng, are you here too?" ”

It turned out to be Lao Peng, a retired hunter from Team 9.

Lao Peng immediately shouted, "We also want to see the little water tower as soon as possible." ”

As early as the end of the rainy season, each team organized people to come here to get soil and beat bricks, and the bricks that were punched out were put where the whole brigade was free, and when the rainy season was over, the bricks had already been made, and the number was only a lot more.

After that, taking advantage of the big sun, he dragged it to the field to dry, and waited until it was dry two days ago before pulling it to this place to prepare for firing.

Dry in the shade and then dry, so that cracks are not easy to appear.

Originally, everyone came for the tap water, but when they heard Chen Fan say that they could teach everyone to burn bricks, they suddenly burst into joy.

If you can learn to burn bricks, even if you can't burn bricks to sell, it's good to burn them yourself.

Who wouldn't want to live in a brick house if they can?

But the biggest expense of a brick house is bricks, a red brick is 3 cents, to build a house of 6 or 70 square meters, at least 10,000 bricks, that is more than 300, if you build a larger one, it will be more expensive.

Wouldn't this money be saved by burning bricks and building a house by yourself?!

And Chen Fan is willing to teach them, also because the technical difficulty is really low, and he himself does not expect to make money from this, it is better to be generous and teach them directly, on the one hand, when he burns bricks in the future, he does not need to go out in person, save trouble, and secondly, he also sells some favors, which is equivalent to earning twice.

Chen Fan looked at the crowd around him and shouted with a smile, "This thing is really not difficult, I will teach you to build two brick kilns later, and you will know how to do it." ”

Then he pointed to the neatly stacked brick wall not far away, "Children don't play in it, and if you have nowhere to do it, you can move bricks for me." ”

Immediately there were the shouts of adults, the giggling of children, and then the terrible cries.

Chen Fan was unmoved, and walked to the bottom of the slope.

There are several groups of people here who are working hard to shovel the ground.

Chen Fan checked, "Just raze the ground, don't dig too deep, it's easy to have water vapor if it's too deep, it's almost good." ”

Then he clapped his hands, "Move the bricks, build the brick kiln first." ”

Someone next to him asked, "Do you want to build a brick kiln out of bricks?" ”

Chen Fan, "I want to build it with bricks, but I don't have it, let's make a simple one first." ”

After a pause, he said loudly, "If you want to burn bricks yourself in the future, this is the easiest way, easier than me to burn pottery." Now listen to my command, look carefully, after today, you will burn it yourself in the future. ”

There was a sudden shout from the surroundings, "Okay." ”

Then a group of people quickly gathered around.

Everyone was very conscious, and each squad sent out a few representatives, and quickly thirty or forty people appeared around him.

Chen Fan also became serious at this time, picked up a brick, and demonstrated while directing, "First use adobe bricks to enclose a circle, enclose this piece of land, don't enclose it too high, you have to lay bricks inside."

Then add briquettes layer by layer, bricks layer by layer, briquettes and firewood can not be added, must not be more, no less. Too much firepower, bricks are easy to burn into heavy and hard 'iron bricks', the key is that the deformation can not be used, less firepower is small, the bricks can not be smoothly knotted, a pinch will be broken.

Leave a few more empty openings below, one to facilitate people to carry, and the other to facilitate the circulation of hot gas, which is to be used when firing later,......"

This brick kiln is different from Chen Fan's previous use of his own small clay kiln to burn bricks, the area and volume are many times larger, if he is allowed to take Jiang Lili and them to do it, it may not be completed in 10 days.

However, the advantage of the production team is that there are many people and great strength, as long as an order is given, there are naturally people to dispatch.

So with the joint efforts of so many people, in less than half a day, a brick kiln with a diameter of about 10 meters and a height of about 5 or 6 meters, like a half ball, was built.

(Rural self-built brick kiln)

One brick kiln was definitely not enough, so everyone immediately started to build a second one.

With the first experience, everyone is familiar with it and much faster.

It took less time than just before to build a second brick kiln.

Then Chen Fan began to command again, "Each reserved hole must be filled with firewood, I count three times, and everyone will light the fire together." ”

Chen Fan raised his right hand high, quite a kind of posture of launching a rocket, "3, 2, 1, ignition!" ”
