Chapter 1478: Dating

"Wang Yan."

"Comrade Wang Yan."

"You're here, Wang Yan."

"Brother Yan."

In the shed of Hechuan Mutton Soup, people eating inside were greeting Wang Yan enthusiastically.

Wang Yan was a person famous throughout the country. In Lin County, a considerable number of people specifically ran over to see what he looked like. There were quite a few people who knew him, and he was greeted wherever he went.

Ordering mutton soup, braised dishes, big pancakes, and wine, the six of Wang Yan sat around the table.

"What are you still looking at?" Wang Yan said to Zheng Tong, "They are paired up, so it has to be us two brothers keeping each other company."

"Oh my, I never dared to think that one day I could keep Brother Yan company." Zheng Tong danced exaggeratedly and sat beside Wang Yan.

Wang Yan slapped the back of his head: "Get lost, I don't like men."

"I know, Zhou Xiaobai, right." Zheng Tong laughed. "To say you are truly a man of sentiment, there are so many girls here who miss you, and each one is more beautiful than the other. You are unmoved, I admire you, I admire you."

"That's why Brother Yan is an extraordinary person. As the old saying goes, heroes have a hard time passing the beauty pass. Brother Yan is even more heroic than a hero." Zhong Yuemin laughed and played along.

"That's enough, no matter how much you flatter me, I won't pay for lunch today."

"How could we need you, Brother Yan, we brothers will solve it ourselves." Zhong Yuemin said happily.

Wang Yan glanced at him and didn't say anything. He wasn't interested in the source of Zhong Yuemin's money.

After a while, the mutton soup and pancakes were served, and everyone got their own pepper powder and chili oil.

"Wang Yan is still amazing. This small mutton soup can support so many people." Smelling the fragrance, Qin Ling sighed, "At that time, this stall should have belonged to our brigade."

Li Kuiyong laughed: "Qin Ling, stop thinking about good things. Even if it belonged to our brigade, the people doing the work wouldn't be us educated youth; we'd still have to honestly farm."

Tian Fang clicked her tongue: "It's as if we were just for not farming."

"If not, what else could it be for?" Li Kuiyong was very strange.

His direct appearance made Tian Fang, who was arguing, have no movement, and she could only give Li Kuiyong a white eye.

"Tian Fang, Kuiyong is just like this, speaking straight, don't be like him." Zhong Yuemin excused Li Kuiyong.

Tian Fang said irritably: "How can I be like him?"

Li Kuiyong laughed foolishly and didn't argue.

Zheng Tong changed the subject and asked: "Brother Yan, how is the business of your furniture shop?"

Wang Yan smiled: "Very good. Over a thousand large standing cabinets with many doors, over three thousand small double-door and drawer cabinets, and over ten thousand other small furniture including kang tables, dining tables, chairs, etc. The deposits have already been collected for over ten thousand, and it will have to be done until next year."

"Did you dig the well?" Zheng Tong asked.

"Experts have already set the point, and we will dig the well after spring plowing. In addition, there is a clue about planting fruit trees. We will try planting a batch of drought-tolerant apple trees this year and see how they grow. If it works, we will either change the species or plant more of the same fruit trees. Once our brigade's affairs are settled, we will all plant fruit trees here in the future. When the time comes, we will be able to eat apples until we vomit."

Li Kuiyong laughed, as if it was him who led the Baidian Brigade to achieve today's achievements. He had always been like this. In the original drama, he bragged to Zhong Yuemin, but it was understandable. After all, at that time, Li Yuanchao gathered hundreds of people to hack the "Little Hooligan" to death, and he followed to die for loyalty, and it was Zhong Yuemin who saved him.

Now that Wang Yan had come over, although he didn't save Li Kuiyong's life, he had always led him to eat and drink well and took care of his family. He naturally had extreme reverence for Wang Yan, and for the achievements Wang Yan had made, he felt honored.

"I really want to taste that feeling. I really want to know what it's like to eat apples until you vomit." Zhong Yuemin was a bit yearning.

"Look at how pitiful you say it is." Li Kuiyong looked disdainful. "You didn't want to eat apples when they were given to you before."

"That was before. Now I work for a day and only get five work points. Oh, it's bitter, it's hard to live..."

Zhong Yuemin also added the dialect, which was quite exaggerated.

Qin Ling laughed: "Don't say, I really like this spirit of yours of finding joy in bitterness."

"Oh my, don't scold people." Zhong Yuemin shook his head repeatedly. "Why find joy in bitterness? It's just that it's bitter, and you can't cry if you have no way, so you can only be happy. Unlike Brother Yan, he is truly happy. Look at the people in the Baidian Brigade, they are happy to see everyone, and there are no difficult things. I heard that it was hard to marry a wife in the Baidian Brigade before, but now it's easy, right?"

"Then what do you think?" Li Kuiyong snorted. "From after the New Year to now, eighteen marriages have been set in the village. It's easy for girls to marry, and the husband's family doesn't pick anymore. Right, Brother Yan?"

"Girls weren't worried about marrying in the first place. The main worry was whether they married well or badly. Now the husband's family that the girls in the Baidian Brigade find is indeed much better than before." Wang Yan nodded with a smile.

These things were good phenomena brought about by development. After all, watching the Baidian Village develop better and better, the furniture sideline business was booming, and it was famous throughout the country. People from top to bottom were watching how far the Baidian Brigade could go and whether it could find some new ways out for the current situation.

Of course, whether there is a way out or not is not what these farmers who face the loess and back to the sky think. They just want to marry a wife, want to marry well, and want to live a more affluent life, which is the so-called material pursuit of the masses for a better life.

Baidian Village invited experts to dig a well this year, and later, in the gaps of farming, organized manpower to repair a spacious road that could pass cars, reaching the county seat through twenty-six brigades.

The cost of repairing the road was raised by the communes belonging to the passing areas and the Baidian Brigade itself. Among them, the Baidian Brigade and Hechuan Commune paid the most, working together, preparing their own grain. The main labor force was from the twenty-six brigades passing through, and other nearby places that could use the road supplemented some manpower. It was planned to repair this forty-plus li hard road before winter.

With a well, the problem of living and production water was solved. With a road, the problem of entry and exit was solved. With the furniture sideline business as a source of money, in less than two years, every household in the brigade could have a bicycle.

Now the villagers of the brigade have three goals for hard struggle: digging wells, repairing roads, and buying bicycles, all looking forward to it. Even a considerable number of people in the brigade think that since the well has been dug, there is no need to rush to repair the road, and it costs so much money. They should distribute the money first, let everyone ride bicycles, and eat meat.

This matter was still solved by Wang Yan. At the brigade meeting, he depicted the picture of the future for everyone. Planting fruit trees, raising pigs, chickens, ducks, and geese, refurbishing cave dwellings, the most basic windows, don't need to use window paper to paste, need to get glass.

The language was very simple, and the future depicted was also very realistic. With longer-term benefits hanging, the villagers of the brigade stopped making trouble and were busy with enthusiasm...

The future Wang Yan depicted was really not far away. Before spring, the brigade had urgently started construction, building a large pigsty, expecting to raise one hundred pigs, and chickens, ducks, and geese were also expected to raise thousands.

If taken care of well this year, they would see meat at the end of the year. And in the process of this year, the brigade would not be short of eggs. Of course, it wasn't that they were not short of eating them every day, but children could always eat one a day, and adults could eat one every few days, which was not bad, and it was affluent at this time.

On the basis of doing the above, a considerable number of eggs could be left to sell to the county, which was another long-term source of wealth.

As for the problem of various epidemics, Wang Yan had already started to guide. He said his grandfather was an old Chinese doctor, he could also see a doctor, and he had seen doctors for some people in the brigade, and said that seeing a doctor for livestock couldn't be more difficult than seeing a doctor for people. Everyone believed it.

He said how to raise, and the people in the brigade raised it that way.

In fact, up to now, he had become the true leader of the Baidian Brigade, and everyone listened to his orders...

Everyone chatted and laughed after lunch and didn't leave directly. After all, they ran out to avoid work and date. The days were getting longer, and it was getting dark later and later. Having walked forty-plus li, how could they go back so quickly.

Wang Yan didn't stay in the furniture shop, but took a pile of drawings he had drawn to the machinery factory in the county.

He drew workbenches for carpenters to process wood, as well as cutting machines, polishing machines, etc. To increase productivity, of course, it had to start with tools.

With these tools, the efficiency of processing raw materials in the early stage was increased, and the output naturally went up.

When he arrived at the place, Wang Yan was warmly received by the factory director. After finding the technical person in charge and seeing the drawings Wang Yan drew, he was amazed and patted his chest, saying that within a week, even if they worked overtime, they would make the tools for Wang Yan.

When Wang Yan returned to the furniture shop, Zhong Yuemin and the others had already left, and Li Kuiyong was still staying here, doing carpentry work with a group of apprentices.

Wang Yan naturally took care of his own people. Li Kuiyong and Yu Ming had long learned carpentry. Although they didn't learn it very well, they could still do some work, which saved them from going to the fields to farm.

As for the other seven female educated youth, Wang Yan didn't care. Carpentry work didn't pick people, but it was relatively more difficult for them to do, so they all made do with farming, and now they were raising chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs with the brigade, doing hygiene, feeding, adding water, etc., and they were also raised with five work points a day...

"Why didn't you leave?" Wang Yan asked Li Kuiyong.

Li Kuiyong gave Wang Yan a cigarette and said: "Isn't it because you are in the county, Zhong Yuemin wants to go to our brigade to play for two days. He and Zheng Tong live in our place, and I mix with you in the county for two days. Tsk tsk, this grandson is really serious about Qin Ling."

"It was serious long ago. Otherwise, do you think they are sick, singing on the back mountain every day? Isn't the throat dry? It's not easy to carry a bucket of water."

Wang Yan took a puff of his cigarette and asked with a smile, "Are you serious about Tian Fang?"

"Is there anything fake?"

Li Kuiyong laughed honestly. "I didn't think much of her before, but as we chatted, why did she look better and better? She didn't say she was very beautiful. Is this what people often say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder?"

"That's it." Wang Yan said, patted his shoulder, "Since you've taken a fancy to each other, then treat each other well. I still envy you. Look at Xiaobai, we are separated by more than a thousand kilometers."

"Hey, that's still you being strong. If you were a little softer, you wouldn't have to suffer here."

"What are you saying, did you suffer?" Wang Yan kicked him. The apprentices were listening, it was not appropriate.

Li Kuiyong also reacted and said: "It's mainly because you are amazing. Otherwise, the two of us, and these little brothers, would all be farming. Look at Zhong Yuemin and the others, they are still slacking off and their hands are broken."

Wang Yan nodded: "We will develop slowly. In three or five years, it will be another world. That's it, you work, don't slack off here."

"That's definitely impossible. I can't lose face for you."

A week passed, and the machinery factory delivered a set of tools Wang Yan ordered on time, without asking for a penny, and said they would produce five more sets to send over later, saying the tools Wang Yan designed were good and could sell for money, and they thanked Wang Yan for his help.

The tools Wang Yan drew hadn't been applied on a large scale yet, and the drawings he provided were from decades later. It was just limited by the material problems at this time, and various saw blades might not be very easy to use, but they were more than enough to cut wood.

There was no electricity in the brigade, so these tools could only be used at the furniture shop.

Wang Yan taught the apprentices how to use the tools and emphasized the necessity of standardized operation, getting a pig's trotter to show everyone the state of being cut into sections.

China's bone trauma technology was absolutely first-class, and surgical techniques such as replantation of severed fingers and tendon suture were quite powerful. The reason was that China was a major industrial country with a large population, and there were countless production accidents every day, which urged the doctors to struggle forward and improve their technical level.

However, in this year, medical conditions were still insufficient, and production safety was necessary to be valued.

After making the first set of tools, they had experience, and it was much better to make the rest. In a few days, they were produced.

It also greatly accelerated the production speed, so that the roughly processed timber piled up like a mountain. It couldn't be done more delicately, which was the power of technology.

But it stopped there. If they wanted to solve the delicate operation, they had to go on the assembly line, use various high-end robotic arms, and have electronic control programs, etc. It wasn't a problem that could be solved at this time.

During this period, Wang Yan wrote another report, reporting the progress and various achievements. Of course, he always had to talk about the care and support of leaders at all levels, so that everyone could show their faces.

Just like this, time passed in a blink of an eye to May, and Baidian Village ushered in a major event...
