The two came out of the repair shop, went to the water transportation company to say hello to Secretary Tian, discussed the details of the transaction between the paddle engine and the diesel engine, and once again politely declined the invitation to eat, so they took the horse and rushed back.

Out of the gate of the water transportation company, Chen Fan turned over and looked thoughtfully in the direction of the embankment.

Security was pulling the reins and preparing to go east, but he didn't hear the movement next to him, so he turned around and looked, "Why don't you go?" ”

Chen Fan pointed to the embankment and asked, "You said that from the embankment, can you go back to Lujiawan?" ”

Security immediately blurted out, "Of course you can." ”

The next second he was stunned, pulled the reins and turned around, and suddenly said, "Yes, the commune town is full of people, and the horses can't run, so we can walk from the embankment." ”

Chen Fan looked at him speechlessly, "You didn't expect that?" ”

If you had just come from the embankment, you wouldn't have to be watched on the street like a star.

An'an said confidently, "My home is in the town, the unit is in the town, and there is a village road to Lujiawan to walk, and it is closer there, why should I go up the river embankment if I have nothing to do?" Jump into the river! ”

The corners of Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly, and he pulled the reins and drove the little mare to run towards the river embankment, and shouted from behind, "Wait for me." ”

Then a whip was whipped on the horse's buttocks, and he followed after him.

It's a pity that he rode only an ordinary short pack horse, although he was docile, but it also meant that he could not run fast, and he only ate ashes after the little mare, and he was so angry that he howled safely.

Chen Fan rushed on the embankment, and 5 minutes later, the 5th team of Lujiawan appeared in front of him, which showed that going up to the commune from the embankment was almost the same as walking from below.

When I say safer, I should mean that from the brigade headquarters to the northernmost part of the town, there is a large circle missing, of course it is closer.

By the way, what about security?

Chen Fan looked back and saw that the safe horse was still a kilometer behind him, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

It's only less than 3 kilometers in total, so it's so far behind? This horse can't do it.

There were still some faint shouts coming from there, and I didn't know what they were shouting.

Most of the time it shouldn't be a good word.

Chen Fan didn't bother to listen, gradually slowed down the horse, touched the horse's neck, and the little mare ran along the inner slope of the river embankment into the village.

Letting the little mare go to the barn by herself, Chen Fan turned around and entered the brigade headquarters.

In the office, Secretary Yang and the others didn't know what they were talking about, and they were noisy and messy, and when they saw Chen Fan coming in, everyone immediately stopped and looked at him together.

Secretary Yang tilted his head and asked, "How's the situation?" ”

Chen Fan smiled and nodded, "I can cultivate." ”

Captain Zhang clapped his hands and smiled with a red face, "Okay, I earned another set of machines for nothing." ”

Secretary Yang knocked on the table and grinned, "That's also the credit of Xiao Chen, what are you proud of?" ”

Captain Zhang rolled his eyes, "You're more proud than me." ”

Zhang Wenliang took out the special cigarette for hospitality at the brigade headquarters, took out one and threw it over, and smiled at Chen Fan, "Shy about it." ”

Chen Fan grabbed the cigarette, sat down on the side, took the tea jar handed by Yang Xingxiu, said thank you, and then said this morning's events with a smile.

Finally, he said, "When it will be repaired, it depends on when the accessories are bought." ”

After a pause, he looked at Secretary Yang again, "But the two sets of paddle engines and one diesel engine that Secretary Tian promised, when we are ready for the money, send someone to bring the money directly over and pull it back."

Secretary Tian said, first give the diesel engine money, that is, 800 yuan, the two sets of paddle machine do not charge money, if the two sets of propeller can be repaired smoothly, even if it is sent, in case it is not repaired well, it is not too late to give the money to the paddle machine. ”

Secretary Yang nodded, looked at the others, and said, "If everything goes well, then we have a set of thrusters, which can be installed on a large ship, and two diesel engines and two sets of paddle engines, which can be installed on two small boats." ”

At this time, Chen Fan waved his hand, interrupted him, and said with a smile, "The diesel engine of the water transportation company is a 45-horsepower machine, and after modification, it can completely push a medium-sized wooden boat two meters wide and 10 meters long. ”

When Secretary Yang heard this, he was overjoyed, "Okay, the 10-meter-long boat can also run the Yangtze River, Lao Wang, the boat they are building now is 10 meters, this machine can be directly installed on it, we will build another 20-meter big ship, and use the thruster!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Shubao said, "Old Yang, I'll talk about two things first,......

His words immediately drew everyone's attention.

Ye Shubao coughed dryly and was about to speak, when An'an strode in, still muttering in his mouth, "Xiao Chen, you are not a son, don't say anything about running so fast, let me eat a butt of ashes in the back, and say, are you deliberately retaliating?" ”

When everyone saw the look of security and the gray face, and then thought about what he just said, they didn't understand what was going on, and they immediately laughed.

Zhang Wenliang pretended to smile with contempt, "Brother An, you are still a little bit meaningful, who in our team doesn't know that Xiao Chen's horse is running fast, I will go out with him, either don't ride the horse, or simply run in front of him, and don't let him rush to the front, otherwise you will end up in ashes like you today." ”

Chen Fan spread his hands innocently, "I've slowed down the horse, but the horse you are riding can't run, and your own riding skills can't do it, what can I do?!" ”

Speechless, Security ran over and grabbed the cigarette case on the table, and hatefully pulled out one and lit it.

At this time, Yang Xingxiu brought him a glass of water, and he smiled happily, "It's better to be a sister in Xingxiu." ”

He glanced at someone as he spoke, and said in a chattering voice, "Sister, you should also consider your life's major events, but you have to look at people, don't look for an unreliable one, you will regret it when the time comes." ”

Yang Xingxiu suddenly blushed and glared at him with disgust, "I shouldn't have poured water for you." ”

The others burst into laughter, only Zhang Wenliang was inexplicable, why are you all looking at me one by one?

After a long while, Ye Shubao knocked on the table and continued the topic just now.

He coughed dryly, looked at everyone, and said, "What did I mean just now, let's call Lao Wang and them back to build a ship, is this kind of thing impossible again?"

In any case, Lao Wang's group are all regular workers of the construction team, and as people from our village, it is true that their homes are here, but the work establishment and household registration are all hanging on the construction team.

Ask them to come and help build a boat, the construction team will not say anything for the sake of this fellow, but if they continue to build a second one, this will be easy to say. ”

When Secretary Yang heard this, he also frowned and nodded slowly, "That's the truth." ”

At this time, Xiao Liewen looked at everyone, and also said, "Lao Wang's side is one aspect, and the other side,"

He said and turned his head to look at Chen Fan, and then turned back to look at Secretary Yang and Captain Zhang, "Whether it is the propeller or the paddle machine, it is all the credit of Xiao Chen, without him, it is difficult for us to buy it." ”

The security sat on the side and nodded, and said softly, "This is also true, Secretary Tian said just now, the diesel engine, the Red Star Brigade offered 800, he didn't sell it, on the one hand, the price was low, on the other hand, he also wanted to keep it for the unit to use for himself."

People also looked at Xiao Chen's face, took the initiative to say that there was such a machine, and directly gave the lowest price of 800 yuan, otherwise we wouldn't know that the water transportation company still has such a thing. ”

He laughed twice as he said hehe, "I, the head of the tax office, really don't have this face in front of Secretary Tian, and I have to rely on Mr. Chen's enthusiasm these days." ”

Chen Fan listened on the side, his eyes rolled twice, and he didn't speak, just a faint smile on his face.

Originally, this kind of thing should not be discussed in front of him.

But the brigade headquarters is so big, and everyone has a good relationship with him, so there is nothing to hide. At the same time, this is also to show him the attitude of the team, that is, the contribution he has made to the team, everyone knows it in their hearts.

And he can't do without this reward, one is that there is a set of reward and punishment system in the team, and even the active members have the reward of production activists, he has made such a great contribution to the team, and it is all outside his own work, how can he not be rewarded?

It's just that Chen Fan's heart is like water now, with the current system, even if it is a heavy reward, where can it be heavy?

It's not just that you have more work, or the team provides feed and raises the small animals at home.

That's it.

He is now desireless and rigid. It's okay, you discuss yours, it's okay, whatever you want, I don't care!

When the safety voice fell, Ye Shubao looked at him, then at Secretary Yang, Captain Zhang and Xiao Liewen, and said, "The second meaning I just said is this. Last time, Xiao Chen brought back two diesel engines, and the team took advantage of him, using some useless bamboo branches and a little more materials to build a house, and replaced them, and I still blushed a little when I said it. ”

Secretary Yang coughed dryly, glanced at Chen Fan, who was sitting on the side, and said with a pretended shame, "Isn't that the only condition in the team?" ”

If Chen Fan's job is a technician in the team, or other related positions, the responsibility is to help the team buy equipment, then the meaning is definitely different.

That can only say that his work has been done well, and when the New Year is settled, it will be good to give him an extra 10 yuan reward.

But this is not the case, Xiao Chen is a broadcaster and a veterinarian, but not a technician or mechanic, so that all contributions that have nothing to do with those two positions should be exchanged for the same amount of money and goods.

When the production team was set up, it was not counted what was retained, but all the requisitioned by the team, such as cattle, horses, livestock, carts, and windmills, each of which was clearly calculated and compensated accordingly.

Some people may say that they donate for free, but this situation cannot be said to be none, and there are many of them, after all, there are many people who understand righteousness.

But there are also a lot of compensations, the government does not take the rule of the masses for some years, those dead branches and leaves and do not talk about him, at least under Mr. Li's attention, most areas have been very strict, this system was set at that time.

Otherwise, the production team can requisition the things in the homes of the members at any time, and they are still farmers, then there is no confusion in the hearts of the people?!

It's no wonder that no one is making trouble.

Chen Fan saw that several leaders were a little embarrassed, so he coughed lightly to attract their attention, and then smiled, "Actually, it's not so troublesome, now that the things haven't been pulled back, there's no point in discussing these."

If you want me to say, the top priority now is to ask Master Wang and them to ......"

Speaking of this, he stopped suddenly, smacked his lips slightly, looked at Ye Shubao, and said helplessly, "Captain Ye, if we can't find Master Wang and them to build a second boat, then do we want the wooden boat in the repair shop?" ”

When Ye Shubao heard this, his face was also full of embarrassment.

If you want to, how can you always trouble Lao Wang.

But with the carpenters of this team, they may not be able to succeed in building a big ship more than 20 meters long.

This is not a small row two or three meters long, just put together a few wooden planks, the structure of the big ship is much more complicated, the bottom plate, keel or something, different parts of the wood to use, listening to the head is big.

Don't?

and unwilling.

A 45-horsepower diesel engine will power the new ship under construction, and another set of propellers waiting to be repaired can be used on another, larger ship.

When the time comes, not to mention selling chickens, ducks and geese, with these two boats, the surplus agricultural products in the team can be pulled to the prefectural committee and the county seat to sell, and how much more money can be made!

How?

After a short silence, Chen Fan's eyes rolled slightly, and he said softly, "Otherwise, please ask Master Wang to go over and have a look, if it is not suitable, naturally there is no follow-up, and that set of thrusters can only be used on a 10-meter new ship."

If only that half of the ship was still useful,......"

He turned his head to look at Secretary Yang and said with a smile, "Maybe the team can pay for it and directly ask the master of the repair shop to help renovate the boat." ”

Originally, the repair shop used to be a shipyard, but it was just a wooden ship, but now they want to buy a wooden ship.

So, what's the problem?!

Hearing his words, Secretary Yang, Captain Zhang, Xiao Liewen, and Ye Shubao 、...... One by one, they couldn't help but nod their heads again and again.

Secretary Yang laughed softly, "Hehe, other people's repair shops are supposed to do this, how can we forget their old business?!" ”

"It's called dark lights, and I only remember that they repair ships, and I forgot that they can build ships." ”

Captain Zhang patted the table and grinned, "Then it's decided, go back and ask Lao Wang to inspect the goods first, if you can, we will also place an order with the water transportation company and ask them to help us build a ship." ”

Chen Fan, "I think the ship is still about 20 meters, if it can still be used, it should be able to be transformed into a new ship of about the same length, and the thruster is installed on this ship, the 45-horsepower diesel engine is installed on the 10-meter boat, and the remaining diesel engine will continue to be kept for standby." ”

Secretary Yang finally made a decision, "It's decided." ”

Seeing that this matter was finalized, Chen Fan got up decisively, "Then you continue to talk, I'll go first." ”

Zhang Wenliang stopped him, "Why are you going?" ”

Chen Fan touched his stomach, "It's almost noon, and there is no working meal here, so I can't find a place to eat!" ”

Ye Shubao immediately raised his hand and beckoned, "Slow down the meal, we were discussing the list of cooked food workshop workers just now, you can also take a look and give some advice." ”

The corners of Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly, "Didn't I say it yesterday, housewife, you can cook, it's almost enough." ”

Ye Shubao's face was a little helpless, "The one in the store is also this standard?" ”

Chen Fan nodded, "Yes, it's nothing more than weighing and collecting money, not to mention that you can't even settle accounts, although I said that my grades in reading are not so good, but at least I must be able to settle accounts." ”

After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, it's better to have a better image." ”

Secretary Yang blinked, "Just want to look good?" ”

Chen Fan, "Yes, it must not only be good-looking, but also clean, just like the salesperson of the commune supply and marketing cooperative, you see, there are more people looking for Sister Xiaoling to buy things, or more people looking for Aunt Liu to buy things." ”

Yang Xingxiu blushed a little, and "spitted" angrily, "You are not serious." ”

Chen Fan's face remained unchanged, and he said solemnly, "Just ask if you want to sell more roast duck." ”

Yang Xingxiu was silent.

Ye Shubao picked up a notebook from the table, took a pencil, sketched on the notebook, and then handed it to Yang Xingxiu, "Xiu'er, take a look, are these people good-looking?" ”

Yang Xingxiu took it, swept his eyes from beginning to end, then narrowed his eyes slightly, and turned his head to look at Ye Shubao, "Unexpectedly, you are such an Uncle Ye?!" ”

Ye Shubao was slightly stunned, what's wrong with me?

Chen Fan held back a smile, got up and walked out, "I'm leaving, you set up good people, and I'll teach them how to cook cooked food." ”

Seeing Chen Fan go out of the room and turn into the courtyard, Ye Shubao was still a little dazed.

Zhang Wenliang leaned next to him and whispered, "Uncle Ye, you picked out the best-looking ones at once, do you usually think about them?" ”

After brushing it, Ye Shubao's old face turned red, and he got up and was about to smash it with a chair, "Dare to tease me and kill you turtle grandson." ”

Captain Zhang was laughing happily on the side, but he couldn't help but darken his face when he heard this, "Who is the turtle?" ”

It's a pity that Ye Shubao ignored him and rushed towards Zhang Wenliang with a chair.

Zhang Wenliang ran away, "It's not what I said, it's Xingxiu who said that you are looking good." ”

Ye Shubao chased after him, "You treat me as a fool, when did she say it, dare to run, stop for me......"

……

Chen Fan listened to the movement in the front yard, and went up to the second floor of the backyard with a smile.

In the broadcast room, Zhang Cui'e was immersed in the question, and she didn't notice Chen Fan's arrival at all.

Chen Fan walked over with his hands behind his back, stood silently and watched for a while, and couldn't help but nod slightly.

After she finished a question, Chen Fan laughed softly, "Not bad, not bad." ”

Zhang Cui'e was taken aback for a moment, and when she reacted, she immediately got up and stood up, and shouted with surprise on her face, "Teacher." ”

Chen Fan smiled, took out a pen from his pocket and handed it to her, "The gift I brought you, I was too busy yesterday to come and see you." ”

Zhang Cui'e hurriedly took it with both hands and smiled from ear to ear, "Thank you, teacher." ”
