Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

On the second day, Lu Changhua helped boil and add water and start the tractor.

Then, when everyone arrived, we headed to the Erlongshan Forest Farm together.

Days like this lasted for a while.

This is the return of favor from the farm.

Everyone helps me and I help you. Otherwise, how can the whole family do so much work?

December 22nd, winter solstice.

These families have solved the problem of burning firewood, and Lu Changhua's wave of favors has finally been repaid.

Although Master Lin's transportation fee is paid according to the farm's regulations, these people's work depends on favors. If you are not popular, no one will really want to help you.

If someone asks you for help, if you resist, over time, no one will come to you anymore. Similarly, if you go to others, you won't be able to find them.

After repaying the favor, Lu Changhua felt relaxed and ready to take a good rest for a few days.

Just when he was getting ready to lie down on the bed and wanted to sleep a little longer.

Someone came to the door.

Mother Lu quickly woke up Lu Changhua who was still scratching the pig's head.

As soon as he opened his eyes and saw the person coming, he quickly got up.

"Principal Liu, why are you here? Is there something wrong?!"

Old Liu is the principal of Sanfenchang Primary School and was Lu Changhua's teacher. He has great respect for Principal Liu.

Seeing that Lu Changhua hadn't gotten up yet, Old Liu laughed and joked: "Am I disturbing your sweet dream?!"

"No, I remembered it too."

Lu Changhua smiled awkwardly, quickly grabbed the cotton pants and put them on his legs.

Mom was busy pouring water beside me.

"Principal Liu, you are such a rare guest, come and sit down."

"Lao Lu is not at home?"

"He went to the cafeteria and hasn't come back yet."

Lu Changhua pulled on his cotton shoes, tied his belt, and put his cotton jacket on his body.

"Principal, what do you want to say?"

"I really have something to ask of you."

Old Liu was still smiling.

He had watched the Lu family's youngest son grow up. Lu Changhua's presence had always been very low in the past, and no one took him seriously.

This kid suddenly changed this year, and his behavior has undergone great changes in all aspects. Especially after becoming the flood control liaison officer, his performance is very conspicuous.

Towards the end of the year, Lu Changhua suddenly contracted the reservoir. This bold move made everyone in the branch look at him with admiration.

A young man who is only eighteen years old dares to contract the reservoir on his own. This courage and courage are worthy of admiration.

Today, Lao Liu came because he had no choice.

During the winter vacation, students had few extracurricular activities, so Lao Liu was wondering if he could do some ice sports.

When thinking about ice sports, Lu Changhua's reservoir naturally comes to mind.

Lao Liu has already gone to see it secretly.

The entire reservoir is more than 40 acres and more than 20,000 square meters. If this is used, how big an ice rink will it be?!

"The school wants to use the ice surface of your reservoir to build a skating rink and engage in ice sports so that the children can have a serious place to go during the winter vacation."

"Oh? This is a good thing! I support it."

Lu Changhua said happily while buttoning his cotton-padded jacket.

"Just support. As you know, our school is poor and we don't have much funding..."

"Haha, whatever the principal said, I won't charge you, you can use it as you like."

"Okay, I'm just waiting for this sentence!"

Principal Liu looked happy.

"I knew Xiao Lu was a good kid and would support the school."

"What else do you need me to do?"

"If you're okay, come with us to clean up the snow on the ice."

Principal Liu is not polite either.

"Okay, when will you do it?"

"Here we go."

Principal Liu said.

"Do you have any tools?"

"There's a shovel, a broom, a push board, that's all."

"Principal, how long can we use this tool to sweep away the snow on such a big ice surface? That's an area of ​​more than 20,000 square meters!"

"Then what should we do? Our conditions are limited."

"Have you contacted Director Han?"

"Not yet. Didn't I come to you first?"

"In this case, you go to Director Han and ask him to send a rubber-tired truck with anti-skid chains, hang up the shovel for pushing wheat in the drying yard, let the rubber-tired truck push it, and we can clean it up. It will be much faster.

"

"Yes! That's okay, I'll go find Director Han to discuss it."

Principal Liu turned around and went to find Lao Han.

Lu Changhua hurriedly ate his breakfast, picked up the wooden shovel at home and went to the reservoir.

Talking about farm families, every family will have a pair of wooden shovels, which are brought back from the drying yard.

When the drying field is too busy, a large number of family members go to help dry the grain. Naturally, they will take back one or two tools and just take them with them next time they go to work.

The Lu family also has this kind of wooden shovel.

Lu Changhua came to the duty room with his tail dog Xiong Bao. He stood the wooden shovel by the wall at the door, picked up the ax and chopped a few pieces of wood, preparing to burn the indoor stove.

There are so many people coming all of a sudden that you need a place to rest.

He split the pine wood into sticks as thick as chopsticks, peeled off the bark of the birch wood to light the fire, and finally split a few pieces of elm wood.

I prepared these and carried them into the kitchen.

Open the iron ring on the upper cover of the stove, first tear the birch bark into small strips and place them at the bottom of the stove, and then place the pine sticks on the birch bark.

Cover the hoop well.

Strike a match and light a long piece of birch bark in your hand.

Sparks suddenly shot up, black smoke rose from the fire, and a pungent smell wafted out.

Lu Changhua put the fire head in through the front door of the stove and lit the birch bark inside.

The fire was a bit stuffy at first, and black smoke billowed in the furnace.

After a while, the pine stick was ignited, and the fire suddenly jumped up and made a hissing sound.

Visible pine oil seeped out of the wood and bubbled in the flames.

Pine wood is flammable and is difficult to extinguish as long as the fire is started.

Seeing the fire burning brightly in the furnace and the flames being sucked into the flue, Lu Changhua knew that the heat was coming.

He opened the iron ring on the stove top again and put the elm lumps and other miscellaneous wood into the furnace.

The fire was suppressed instantly, and the flames began to lick the newcomers.

Soon, the elm knots began to turn red, and flames shot up.

The iron ring on the stove top quickly turned red.

The fire wall in the room began to radiate heat.

The indoor temperature was slowly rising, and Xiong Bao was already lying beside the stove, enjoying the warmth.

Chuchuchu!

There was a roar of rubber-tired trucks outside.

Lu Changhua quickly went out to check.

I saw Lao Lu's rubber-tired truck with a grain shovel attached to it driving towards me.

The car stopped at the edge of the reservoir.

Lu Changhua picked up the wooden shovel and walked over.

Principal Liu jumped out of the cab.

"Xiao Lu, Lao Lu's car is here, can you get in now?"

"Hey, principal, I haven't tried it either."

Lu Changhua smiled naively.

"Hey, you haven't tried it? Then you came up with this idea?"

Lao Liu was angry with this kid.

Seeing Principal Liu's expression, Lu Changhua said: "Just kidding, the ice layer is now more than one meter thick, so getting on the car is nothing."

After hearing this, Lao Liu's face improved.

No wonder he was anxious.

He used his old face and begged Director Han to send a car. If he couldn't do it, then he really didn't know what to do.

Lu Changhua directed Lao Lu and drove the rubber-tired truck into the reservoir.

At first, Lao Lu was worried and drove carefully. Later, he got out of the car and checked the ice, and then he was completely relieved.

According to Principal Liu's instructions, the snow was pushed around the ice surface and an ice rink was rolled out.

If it's too big, it's of no use to them, and it's a waste of fuel.

This is easier said than done.

The snow needs to be pushed layer by layer. If you push too much at one time, the tractor will slip. Even with anti-skid chains, the wheels will still spin dry and not move properly.

Based on this situation, Principal Liu finally changed his mind and decided to just roll out a big circle.

As long as there is a runway more than ten meters wide, the snow in the middle of the circle can be left alone.

Then draw the line first.

At this time, more than a dozen male and female teachers came to the school.

There are still two classes of students.

All the little faces were flushed.

Lu Changhua found a hemp rope of tens of meters in the duty room, connected another section, and calculated the length of fifty meters.

Using this as the radius, Principal Liu found the center of the circle, pulled the rope and stood still. A male teacher straightened the rope and stood at the other end, and then walked around in a circle.

Use your legs to dig out the snow on the ice.

Other teachers and students took wooden shovels and shoveled snow along the snow ditch to expand the width of the snow ditch.

Then during the second circle, the rope extended another twenty meters.

After two laps, the ice path is located between the two snow gullies.

Teachers and students shoveled snow along the two ditches to the middle.

Lao Lu's rubber-tired truck pushed the snow on the ice road to both sides.

Soon, the ice channel was pushed out by less than half.

Principal Liu's face was filled with joy.

After working for a while, Lu Changhua asked the students to go into the duty room to warm up.

Everyone worked intermittently for four or five hours.

Seeing that it was getting late, Principal Liu took everyone back.

Lao Lu unloaded the shovel and left.

Lu Changhua looked at the incomplete ring formed on the ice and felt comforted in his heart.

In his previous life, Principal Liu also made an ice tunnel, but the ice tunnel was very small.

Now due to its own reasons, the area of ​​the reservoir has increased a lot, and the ice channel now looks more like that.

Although I am not yet rich, I am happy to be able to use my resources to help the school.
