Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 15

The business that my father did is commonly known as "sweeping cinders".

The burned coal is not completely burned. After recycling, it can be re-burned after some processing.

Especially in the canteens of those units and enterprises, there is a lot of waste, and the coal is not economical, and the burned cinders are more valuable for recycling.

This is the experience my father brought back from the army.

Father worked for three winters, sweeping the cinders in the city.The recycled coal cinders are also used at home, and most of them are sold to clam ash kilns.

Lime kiln, that is, a kiln for burning lime.In rural man-made houses, cement cannot be used, and lime is mostly used.

In Gaotian Village next door, there are six-hole kilns of three production teams, which are dedicated to burning lime.

Father was a small tester, a small fight, and he planned to do a big job this year.

It's a pity that his father wanted to pull Chen Yang to work together, but Chen Yang didn't agree to his father because of his face.

Outstanding high school students in the county went to the streets to buy cinders, Chen Yang really couldn't let go of this face.

Now it's all right, without a master leading the door, the blind man can only do it blindly.

During dinner, Chen Yang took his rice bowl and called his grandfather to the door to discuss.

Grandpa said nothing.

"Grandpa, I'll do it right."

Grandpa said, "I'm sure you can do a good job, Jan. But it's tiring work."

"I'm not afraid of being tired, Grandpa, I have plenty of strength."

Grandpa didn't agree, "How about I go find my friend. He is a carpenter and is well-known all over the world. If you follow him, you will become a craftsman in the future."

Now Chen Yang was silent.

Grandpa persuaded again: "Yang, as the old saying goes, a craftsman can't die of hunger."

Chen Yang said with a wry smile: "Three years of learning art, two years of doing nothing. Grandpa, if I don't make money for five years, our family will starve to death."

Grandpa stopped talking again.Because the eldest grandson was right, Chen Yang is the pillar of the current Chen family.If Chen Yang is removed, the Chen family must drink the northwest wind.

"How about...Yang, grandpa will go with you."

Chen Yang quickly said, "No, please don't. Grandpa, you can't go."

Grandpa hummed, "Can you do it alone?"

"Let me try."

Grandpa smiled, "It's fine, you go out alone and lose face first."

Chen Yang was a little embarrassed. When he went out to earn money, he still earned money from the street. He really needed to throw away his face first.

There were still more than 20 yuan at home, so Chen Yang decided to take out ten yuan as the capital first.

However, Chen Yang still couldn't let go.

So the next day, Chen Yang was afraid of being seen by the villagers, so he pulled the handcart and went out early.

The clothes were worn out and old, afraid of being recognized by acquaintances, Chen Yang took out his father's hat and put it on, the brim of which was also pulled down.

When we arrived at the county seat, it was already daylight.

His father once introduced to Chen Yang how to "sweep coal cinders".

Chen Yang went to the county supply and marketing cooperative first.

The County Supply and Marketing Cooperative is located at the Hebu Wharf in the center of the county seat.Chen Yang had been in there before, and he vaguely remembered that the County Supply and Marketing Cooperative had [-] people, had its own canteen, and had its own dedicated wharf.

Coincidentally, when Chen Yang arrived, the county supply and marketing cooperative was unloading coal.

Three large wooden boats were filled with coal, and more than a dozen people were carrying them to the shore one by one.

A man in his 50s shouted, pointed fingers, and reprimanded the stevedores.

Chen Yang knew this man and knew that he was Yang Chunsheng, the director of the County Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Because Yang Chunsheng's daughter, Yang Lina, is Chen Yang's high school classmate.

Of course, Yang Chunsheng didn't know Chen Yang.

Chen Yang squatted on the trolley, thinking of a way to get close to Yang Chunsheng.

After a while, Chen Yang frowned and thought of a good way.
