Pulling the grain back to the Educated Youth Academy, the militia helped unload the millet into the utility room, and said to Chen Fan, "Teacher Chen, today is the first rice, after the rice is distributed, then the oil, you will have to go to get the oil later." ”

"Huh?"

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, looked at him and blinked, "Why don't you go together?" ”

Huang Ying came up again, jumped out and said loudly, "Because there is a lot of dust when the rice is made, the hair oil has to open the lid of the oil cylinder, and each family brings its own oil pot to play, if it is sent at the same time, the dust will fall into the oil tank, and the oil will not taste good." ”

Chen Fan nodded suddenly, "Okay, then we'll go over later." ”

He then handed the militia a cigarette and sent him away.

Jiang Lili knew that Chen Fan still had something to do with the small water tower construction site, so she said softly, "If you have something to do, go and get busy first, and we will go to get the oil ourselves later." ”

Yang Ju also nodded and said, "It's okay, Mr. Chen, you go and get busy with you, we can still carry a few catties of oil." ”

Huang Ying and Liu Dan also agreed.

Chen Fan thought about it, he had already experienced receiving rations once, and the oil was not as heavy as rice, so they could bring it back in a few minutes, so he let them deal with it, and rode his horse to the small water tower.

The horse's hooves rattled, and after a while, they rushed to the small water tower construction site.

By this time, the 15-meter-high cylindrical building had been erected, with thick red brick walls underneath, and a cement coating on the outside.

Chen Fan jumped off the horse and let the little mare graze by herself, and then strode forward, greeting a dozen workers while walking up the dirt slope.

What he was staring at here today was Secretary Yang, and when he saw Chen Fan coming, he immediately waved his hand to say hello, "It's here." ”

He asked, "Have you finished distributing rations to your team today?" ”

"Not yet."

Chen Fan said with a smile, "Captain Yang was the first to send it to me, and after receiving the rations, I came over first." ”

Secretary Yang nodded, "If it were me, I would be the first to send it to you, so that you could come to work." ”

Chen Fan grinned and said, "I don't count as a worker here, the broadcaster and veterinarian are my main job, and coming here is at most to help, just like Master Qiu and Master Ma." ”

He looked left and right, "Eh, what about Master Qiu and Master Ma?" Why didn't you see them? ”

Secretary Yang pointed to the top of his head, "They're on it." ”

Chen Fan looked up, "Huh? Do waterproof? ”

Secretary Yang nodded, "Before you came, you had already done the installation of pipes and pumps, and the well pipes were laid before." Just wait for the tank above to dry and clean it before you try pumping and delivering water. ”

Speaking of this, he let out a long sigh and looked at the water tank under construction on the top, "It's a pity, they are going back to the county seat this afternoon, and the construction company has called, saying that the dock in the county needs to be repaired, and they must go back to the town."

The small water tower is not officially running to deliver water, and they are not there, so I always feel unsure. ”

Chen Fan looked at the water tank above his head, thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I'll go up and take a look." ”

Secretary Yang turned his head and glanced at him, and wanted to say what was the use of going up and looking? Is it possible to learn the skills of the two masters after watching it once?

But thinking about Chen Fan's various miracles before, he didn't speak after all, and watched him climb straight up the ladder made of steel bars, and reached the top in a few clicks.

Secretary Yang stretched out his hand on his forehead, and couldn't help but laugh twice, "No wonder Lao Xiao always praised him, like a monkey, he went up all of a sudden." ”

Chen Fan turned into the water tank, Master Qiu and Master Ma were busy with more than a dozen workers, and they didn't even bother to greet him, just waved their hands to say hello.

He didn't bother, he stood on the ladder and watched for a while, and when he was almost done, he climbed out along the iron ladder.

Others went up fast and came down slowly, but when they got to him, they came down faster than they went up, and they fell to the ground in a few seconds, and gestured to Secretary Yang, "I've seen it, it's worthy of the master's craftsmanship, I don't have to say it." ”

I don't know how, even if Secretary Yang knew that Chen Fan didn't know how to build a water tower as the two masters, when he heard this, his heart still relaxed, and he grinned, "That's good, that's good." ”

After reading it, Chen Fan himself breathed a sigh of relief, took out a cigarette and handed it to Secretary Yang, lit it for him, and asked, "Yesterday, I heard Captain Ye and Brother An say that they were going to the county seat with Brother Sanhu and them to find a market for ducks and geese. ”

Secretary Yang took a puff of cigarette, shook his head and said, "No, you will not be able to leave until the day after tomorrow at the earliest, and you have to arrange someone to be on duty for these two days." ”

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at him, "On duty?" What kind of shift? ”

I haven't heard of anything important about the production team, otherwise, Huang Ying and the others would have said it when they had dinner in the morning.

"What other class, of course, is the flood control class."

Secretary Yang took half of the cigarette in one gulp, spit out a puff of smoke fiercely, looked at Chen Fan and said with a smile, "I have to come once a year, August and September are the peak flood season, and during the flood period, as large as the banks of the Yangtze River and as small as the reservoir and river, flood control sentry sheds must be set up."

This year's rain is not very much, but it's a little better, otherwise, a sentry shed should be set up in July. However, no matter how little rain there is, unless it is a drought year and the water level in the river is too low, then you can not be too careful, just send a few people to patrol it every day, otherwise, you must set up a sentry shelter to prevent flooding. ”

Hearing this, Chen Fan also remembered.

For the rural residents living along the river in the Jiangnan area, it is indispensable to go to the sentry shed for flood control duty every year, and this work is almost the same as farming, which has become a habit.

It was not until after 2010 that many places slowly began to transform their water level monitoring systems and make extensive use of electronic monitoring equipment, gradually getting rid of their dependence on relying on human power to monitor river water levels.

But now, the water level monitoring is 10 minutes a day, people can not leave the sentry, they must keep an eye on the river day and night, and they must regularly record the water level data, but whenever there is a sudden surge in the river in a short period of time, it is necessary to ring the gong, and the strong laborers of the whole team, even men, women and children must take baskets, shovels, and hoes to the embankment, and be ready to rescue at any time.

At the same time, the team notified the brigade and the brigade notified the commune, and the commune arranged for the technicians of the water conservancy institute to go up to the embankment to investigate and deal with it in a timely manner according to the situation.

In this matter, whether it was in the 70s, or in the 80s and 90s, from the countryside to the town, no matter how bold people are, they dare not have the slightest mentality of fooling and slacking off.

Because when the embankment bursts, the flood will be over, regardless of whether you are a leading cadre or a mass, if you rush over!

Therefore, no matter whether the heart is black or red, they generally dare not reach out at the water conservancy port.

This is really going to be fatal!

Hearing that it was the flood control duty, Chen Fan was silent.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with him, he didn't even participate in the double robbery, let alone expect him to go to flood control duty.

What's more, 10 points a day, and you don't need to do heavy work, you just need to squat there, this kind of good thing generally falls on the heads of those strong laborers who worked hard during the double robbery, Chen Fan will never grab this kind of "good opportunity" with them!

He and Secretary Yang were chatting below, Master Qiu was busy in the water tank, and hundreds of other members were scattered in the fields to lay pipes.

In this way, it was busy until more than 11 o'clock in the afternoon, and all the work was completed.

Master Qiu and Master Ma slowly climbed down, and when they stood on the ground, their whole bodies were trembling.

Even the bricklayers in their prime were exhausted, let alone the two of them in their sixties.

Secretary Yang hurriedly beckoned someone to pull the cart and invited them to sit on the cart, "The two masters have worked hard, let's go back to eat, and be sure to drink two more cups later." ”

Master Qiu waved his hand, "Don't drink the wine, don't delay the ride." ”

Master Ma also nodded again and again, "The general manager called in person yesterday, and I have to go back today." ”

Chen Fan took two steps forward and said with a smile, "Don't worry, you can eat and drink at ease when you eat, we have someone who keeps an eye on the time, and when it's almost time, we will send you to the commune." ”

Master Ma held on to the partition of the cart, his body was swaying as the car moved, he looked at Chen Fan and smiled, "Our general manager, I like people with good pens the most......

Before he could finish speaking, Secretary Yang yelled, "Stop." ”

Then with a wry smile on his face, he put his hand on the board car and walked forward, "I said two masters, your county construction company is a big unit, what kind of talent is not?" Why bother with our small production team? ”

Master Ma immediately laughed, "No matter how many talents there are in our construction team, none of them can publish articles in the daily newspaper of the prefectural party committee, at most it is a county magazine, who doesn't want a talent like Mr. Chen?!" ”

Chen Fan walked forward with the carriage, not even riding the little mare behind him, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, "Then you will lift me up too much." Not to mention anything else, there are even college students in the construction company, right? As for me, I don't even have a primary school diploma, so I don't dare to compare with them. ”

Master Ma and Master Qiu also knew that Chen Fan was floating in the water, after all, this matter was not a secret in Lujiawan, and anyone could leak it.

When they heard Chen Fan's words, they didn't know how to answer for a while.

If you don't agree, it seems that the "top students" of the construction company are too useless. Agree, but there is indeed no one more literate than Chen Fan!

After two seconds of silence, Master Qiu suddenly said, "Teacher Chen, let's not talk about the past, people, we have to look forward after all." If you want a high degree of education, it's actually not difficult. Although Lujiawan does not have the recommendation qualification of college students, and you do not have a high Chinese certificate, if you can pass the entrance exam, you can also go to college and get a college diploma. ”

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, and looked at him puzzled, "Huh? Entrance exams? ”

Are you sure there is an admissions test at this time?

At this time, Master Ma also reacted, half leaned on the partition of the board car, and smiled at Chen Fan, "When Lao Qiu said this, I also remembered." You know Jiangnan University, right? ”

Chen Fan nodded instinctively, "I know." ”

Jiangnan University is the best university in Jiangnan Province, there is no one, the future may be one, but the present is the best. It's not even among the best in the country, but it's also famous.

What's the matter, is Jiangnan University so special that it can enroll students independently?

Then I heard Master Qiu say, "That's right, Jiangnan University in 75 years, in the Yunhu area, set up a correspondence teaching point, back you ask Secretary Yang to open a letter of introduction for you, go directly to their teaching point to apply for the exam, as long as you can pass their entrance test, you can become a correspondence student of Jiangnan University, and wait for the whole course, after passing the examination, Jiangnan University will send you a serious university diploma."

You don't have to look at this thing as a correspondence course, but like a formal graduation certificate, it is recognized by all units in the country. Although this graduation certificate is not included, it is also a college graduate, and all units recognize it, and there will definitely be a professional counterpart unit to invite you to work. At that time, you don't have to worry about the diploma. ”

Chen Fan was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Although he kept telling Secretary Yang that when the students in the study class had finished learning the basic knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry, he would ask the university of the prefectural committee to help them teach by correspondence.

But this kind of correspondence course is really just answering questions through the exchange of letters, and he does not expect to have a diploma.

Could it be that at this time, some universities resumed correspondence courses?

Isn't it early?

Wasn't the rise of correspondence education in the 80s?

Just when his mind was full of question marks, Master Ma followed Master Qiu's words and said, "A manager of our company graduated from high school, but he didn't get a recommendation place, so he could only join our construction company.

At the end of 74, the province held a meeting with the leaders of several major universities to arrange the work of correspondence education, and at the beginning of the second year, that is, in February of 75, Jiangnan University set up correspondence points in more than 10 places in the province.

When he heard the news, he ran over to sign up as soon as possible, took out his high school diploma, and was admitted directly, and then this year is the third year of study, as long as he can take a few more exams, he will be able to get his graduation certificate in February next year! ”

Master Qiu was like talking about cross talk, and as soon as Master Ma's voice fell, he said, "With his example, many people in our construction company went to him to inquire about the situation, so there is no one in the company who does not know about it."

The correspondence department of Jiangnan University used to enroll students at the beginning of the year, those with a high school graduation certificate can be admitted directly, and those who do not have a graduation certificate must do a set of test papers, mainly to check whether they have a high level of Chinese, and after passing the exam, an admission notice will also be issued, and then you can study after paying the tuition fee.

Later, the school system changed, and they changed to enroll students in July, and they enrolled in September, and they also changed. ”

Hearing this, Chen Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's August now, and their enrollment work should have ended." ”

If he had been a month earlier, he would have really wanted to apply for this correspondence university.

Although he never thought of going back to college, a college diploma is truly extraordinary in this era.

Moreover, the correspondence diploma of this era has a very high gold content, only slightly lower than the full-time diploma, and the gold content is the highest among the "five major students".

The so-called "five students" are the correspondence universities and night universities organized by radio and television universities, staff universities, staff amateur universities, and colleges and universities, which are respectively referred to as the University of Television, Vocational University, Industry University, Han University, and Night University.

The earliest formal "night school" in China should be the first regular university night school in China, the "Peking University Night School" founded by Mr. Li Da, and there is only one major taught, that is, journalism. Well, at that time, Mr. Li was studying in this night class and working as a librarian at the same time.

Later, from the early 80s to the early 90s, the "five major students" also followed the principle of "wide entry and strict exit", and the instructors were all serious lecturers and professors in the university, and the school would match them with students, and one person was responsible for more than a dozen students.

These old-school lecturers and professors strictly follow their rigorous academic attitude, and conscientiously reply to every letter and question from students, and some even reply several times more than the text of the letter.

It is precisely because of the guidance of such a group of teachers that many of the "Big Five" graduates have become pillars, and compared with promising college students, one constitutes the tip of the pyramid and the other constitutes the "backbone".

It's just that since the early 90s, money has hit, and the supervision and examination of these schools have gradually changed, and many correspondence schools only charge tuition, but they no longer pay attention to teaching.

And in order to recruit more students, they have relaxed the graduation requirements. So much so that people who study hard and those who never study go into the examination room together and get the same score. At that time, the "Five Students", which had been popular for ten years, slowly fell into no one's interest.

Even the "five major students" in the once glorious period tried their best to "change their academic qualifications", which is a pity.

Just when Chen Fan's mind was turning a thousand times, Master Qiu said, "Although they are a fixed enrollment in July, they will also 'recruit' students who have a foundation and are particularly excellent." Since you can single-handedly support Lujiawan's study class, your knowledge foundation is definitely not bad.

If you go back to the local committee, find the correspondence point of Jiangnan University, apply for the special entrance examination, as long as you can pass, you can register with the students in July, and then get the book and come back to study by yourself, if you don't understand, ask the teacher for advice through the letter, and wait until the end of the year to go to the correspondence point of the local government to take the final exam. ”

Master Ma continued, "Although correspondence students do not have the benefits of regular students, they also have convenience, that is, as long as you can complete the course and pass the examination, you can apply for graduation, which is much better than regular college students who have to stay in college for several years. ”

In those years, the length of the average university varied. As far as junior college is concerned, there are two-year and three-year courses, while architecture and medicine even require four years. For undergraduates, it will be even longer, for example, the undergraduate program of Peking University will take six years!

There is no way, the basic ability of students who are recommended to study can be said to be mixed, some people even only have a primary school education, and the teachers in the university can only try their best to help them make up for the basic knowledge as much as possible, and then go to professional courses.

In this way, it naturally takes more time.

This is all good, but the most tiring thing is that some of the best comrades, who don't like to study, find a lot of messy reasons to criticize the teacher's behavior of helping them to make up knowledge, so that the teaching order is incoherent.

However, in general, most people still prefer to learn knowledge and follow the teacher's arrangement, so that the system can be maintained.

It was not until after the resumption of the college entrance examination that Peking University restored the undergraduate system to 4 years with the "unified examination" as the foundation.

So if it's really the same as Master Ma said, correspondence courses will be issued with a graduation certificate as long as they pass the exam, then it will be more attractive to Chen Fan.

When Chen Fan was chatting with the two masters, he inadvertently looked out of his eyes, and saw Secretary Yang's calm face, but his mind turned slightly, and he guessed what he was thinking.

It's not that I'm afraid that I will go to college, get a college diploma, and be poached by other units.

He coughed dryly and said with a smile, "It has to be two masters, that is, they are well-informed, otherwise I don't know that the prefectural committee and the correspondence point of Jiangnan University are there."

But then again, I'm really interested in getting a college diploma, but I'm being recruited by other units, so forget it. Otherwise, when I was in the prefectural committee in May, I would have agreed to be transferred to the health department as a cadre. ”

Hearing this, Secretary Yang's face suddenly turned cloudy and clear, and he couldn't help grinning.
