Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 22 Skating Rink

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

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

Such days lasted for a while.

This is the return of favors on the farm.

Everyone helps me and I help you. Otherwise, how can my family complete so much work?
December 22, the 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.

When someone asks you for help, if you keep pushing, after a long time, no one will come to you again.Likewise, if you go to others, you won’t be able to find him.

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 something wrong?!"

Old Liu is the principal of Sanfenchang Primary School and was Lu Changhua's teacher. He respects Principal Liu very much.

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 visitor, come and sit down."

"Old Lu isn't at home?"

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

Lu Changhua pulled on his cotton-padded shoes, tied his trousers, and put his cotton-padded jacket on himself.

"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 year this kid has suddenly changed, and all aspects of his life have undergone great changes.Especially after becoming the flood control liaison officer, his performance was 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.

The young man who was only eighteen dared to contract the reservoir alone. This courage and guts alone are worthy of admiration.

Today, Lao Liu was forced to come.

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

When thinking of ice sports, Lu Changhua’s reservoir naturally comes to mind.

Lao Liu had already gone to see it secretly.

The entire reservoir is more than 40 acres and more than 2 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 an ice skating rink and engage in ice sports, so that the children during the winter vacation will have a decent place to go."

"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 was not polite either.

"Okay, when will it be done?"

"Here we go."

Principal Liu said.

"Do you have tools?"

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

"Principal, when will we be able to clear out the snow on such a big ice surface with this tool? That's an area of ​​more than 2 square meters!"

"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 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 ate breakfast quickly, 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 we 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 of the upper cover of the stove, first tear the birch bark into small pieces, put them at the bottom of the stove, and then put the pine sticks on the birch bark.

Cover the hoop.

Wiping the match, first lit a long strip of birch bark in his 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 is flammable and difficult to extinguish as long as the fire starts.

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

Heat began to emanate from the wall of fire in the room.

The indoor temperature is slowly rising, and Xiong Bao has already been lying by the stove, being with the warmth.

Chu Chu Chu!
There was a roar of rubber-tired trucks outside.

Lu Changhua hurried out to check.

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

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 in a car is nothing."

Hearing this, Lao Liu's complexion 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 surface, 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 launch 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 two classes of students.

All of them blushed.

Lu Changhua found a hemp rope of tens of meters in the duty room, connected another section, and calculated the length of 50 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 shoveled snow along the snow ditch with wooden shovels to expand the width of the snow ditch.

Then during the second circle, the rope was connected another 20 meters.

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

Teachers and students shoveled snow along the two ditches.

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

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

Principal Liu 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 road 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.
