Li Zongliang felt that something was wrong with his father just now, and when he heard this, he was shocked.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? What scared you like this?" He remembered what the man said just now and asked quickly.
"Oh, don't mention it.
Your dad has been working at the site for more than 20 years, and among other things, he has been setting off explosives for more than ten years, right?
From the time I used ammonium nitrate sawdust to the finished explosive, I have never failed.
This is the first time today. If it weren't for Consultant Xu, your father and I would have died on the mountain today."
The elder Li sighed and told his son what happened.
Li Zongliang was frightened when he heard this. If something happened to his father on the mountain, how would his family survive?
"Consultant Xu, come on, come and sit in the driver's cabin. There's still room here."
Without saying a word, Li Zongliang hurriedly came to Xu Shiyan's side, dragged Xu Shiyan to his car, and asked Xu Shiyan to sit in the driver's compartment.
In the middle of summer, it's actually quite comfortable outside, and the wind blows when the car is driving, which makes me feel energetic.
But how could Xu Shiyan refuse such a good offer? So he sat side by side with Big Lao Li in the passenger seat.
The workers at the back all got on the car and shouted to the front. The driver started the car and pulled several workers who were working in the field down the mountain together.
The cart pulled everyone along the bumpy and swaying journey back to the venue.
Everyone got off the car, some went home, and some went to the field department to report work to the leaders.
Xu Shiyan had nothing to do, so he went to the Shenchang store first, bought two cans, picked up a piece of meat, and walked home like this.
As soon as I entered the gate, I heard a burst of laughter and laughter in the yard. Needless to say, it must be my father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Xu Shiyan carried his things and walked quickly into the yard.
Sure enough, in the courtyard, Xu Chenghou, Zhou Guilan, Su Weizhong, and Han were all there. The four old men were coaxing the two little ones and were joking.
"Mom, dad, when did you arrive? I've been working in the mountains all day, but I haven't been able to pick you up."
Xu Shiyan stepped forward and spoke to his father-in-law and his mother-in-law.
"No need to pick up, there are many donkey carts at Songjianghe Railway Station now.
The two of us can bring you to Donggang for 50 cents, so what else can we do? You are busy with work, so you can't delay."
When Su Weizhong saw his second uncle, his smile was as bright as a flower.
I used to think that my eldest uncle had a good job, working in a department store, and he was from the city.
Now it seems that no one can compare to the second uncle. The family is living a good life, and with his ability, he even recruits people to work as a technical consultant in a state-owned enterprise.
I heard that the salary of a seventh-level technician, plus subsidies and so on, is more than 100 yuan a month, which is really incredible.
The key is that the second uncle has a good character, is not arrogant, is very steady and reliable no matter what time he is, neither hurried nor slow.
The tasks assigned to him were completed quietly, and they were done very beautifully.
Just like Lao Liu's marriage, Su Weizhong originally thought that it would be good to find a young man from the Second Brigade of Donggang. But what happened? He found a worker who was attending the wedding.
Of the six girls of the Su family, the eldest married in the city and the second married in the countryside. As a result, the uncle became a worker after his success.
If Lao Liu finds another worker, who will look down on him in the future? Su Weizhong has no son?
What can those who have sons do? Have their sons become workers?
Alas, only the fifth child is missing. I don’t know where this girl’s marriage is?
Forget it, don't think about that, let's settle things about Lao Liu first.
"What have you been busy with lately? I heard from your dad that you work all day without taking a break? Are you so busy at the venue?"
Su Weizhong casually pulled over a small bench and asked Xu Shiyan to sit down.
"Dad, I'll chat with you later. I'll send the things in first."
Xu Shiyan did not sit down, but went into the kitchen and gave the things in his hand to Su Anying.
"There's nothing good about it, just eat those two cans.
Tomorrow morning, you go to Songjianghe to see if they sell cooked food or something. It’s a rare trip for our parents to come here and there’s something delicious to eat, so don’t worry about money.”
"Do you still need to give these orders? I have prepared them a long time ago. I bought them back this morning. I will just pack them up and have dinner later.
Look at your disgraced face, what did you do up the mountain today?"
Su Anying took a look and saw that Xu Shiyan's head and face were covered with dust and dirt, as well as his body. She couldn't help but wonder, what was he doing?
"Don't mention it. Cannons were fired on the mountain today to knock down tree roots. Even if they were quite far away, they would be covered in dirt."
When he came back, Xu Shiyan slapped her again, but it was of no use.
That explosive was so powerful that it caused clods of earth, wood, and gravel to fly all over the sky, creating a smoky atmosphere.
Although Xu Shiyan was far away and could not be hurt, he did not escape the dust on his head.
Xu Shiyan said, scooped some water from the vat, washed his hair and face, then left the kitchen and went to the yard to chat with his parents and mother-in-law.
Su Weizhong had no choice but to ask what his uncle did after arriving at the venue.
Xu Shiyan briefly talked about cultivating Gastrodia elata and Asarum, researching ginseng products, etc.
When we first talked about Gastrodia elata and Asarum, Su Weizhong understood it. Later, when we talked about Armillaria fungi, Purpurea spp., ginseng flower drink dew, ginseng flower cola, etc., Su Weizhong was just like listening to a book from heaven and didn't understand at all.
"My dear, can you understand what Shiyan said? Why don't I understand anything?"
Su Weizhong glanced at Xu Chenghou and saw that Xu Chenghou had a calm expression on his face. He thought Xu Chenghou could understand.
As a result, Xu Chenghou shook his head, "What do you know? I've never even heard of the stuff he's doing now.
Didn't you see that there was nothing in the east room of his house, but a big bookshelf against the wall.
I don’t know where he got the books from, but as long as he wasn’t at work, he would definitely read those books.
If I'm like this, then the words in the book know me, but I don't know them, so what can I understand?"
The two old men looked at each other, and both had an indescribable feeling that they seemed to be unable to keep up with the situation.
"Hey, you, I really admire Shiyan's energy.
What a pity. What would it be like if he took the college entrance examination? Can he get into a university or something?"
Su Weizhong didn't know anything about the Xu family's past, so he just said this casually.
But this casual statement touched Xu Chenghou's heart.
Yes, as long as Xu Shiyan had finished junior high school at that time, the college entrance examination had just resumed and the requirements were low, and anyone with a junior high school degree could apply.
Just because of Xu Shiyan's enthusiasm for studying, Bao Buqi could really pass the exam.
What would it be like if Xu Shiyan was admitted to a university and there were two college students in the family?
"Dad, I don't have the ability to take the college entrance examination, I just read blindly.
If you ask me to read the college entrance examination review materials, I can make myself fall asleep."
Xu Shiyan glanced at his old father's face and knew that he was feeling sad and regretful, so he quickly explained.
"Everyone has his own destiny, isn't it pretty good now? Look at my salary, it's higher than that of a college graduate."
Xu Shiyan is a seventh-level skilled worker, one level shy of the highest salary among workers.
Those college graduates who just started working only made forty or fifty yuan a month, which was far behind Xu Shiyan.
You need to be satisfied as a human being, and you can't always think about the past. Look forward, and the future will be better.
