National Tide 1980

In fact, it was a trivial matter for Ning Weimin to get milk powder for the Luo family.

After the New Year, he has a greater contribution to all the neighbors in Courtyard No. 2 of Shan'er Hutong.

After Ganqing swept away the monkey tickets in Beijing and Tianjin, Ning Weimin had no urgent use for the money in his hands.

He just wanted to make his life more convenient.

So I applied to the gas company to purchase a set of LPG stoves.

As a result, the driving effect of his personal experience directly caused all the residents of the East Campus to change their views.

Soon, all the neighbors abandoned the traditional way of cooking with coal stoves and switched to applying for liquefied petroleum gas.

It is the collective that improves the quality of life.

Because of this incident, every time the neighbors think about or talk about it in the future, they have to praise Ning Weimin for his foresight.

Aunt Bian, on the other hand, was a little embarrassed and felt that she could not bear to do with the neighbors.

what's up?

If not for anything else, it was because Aunt Bian had instilled the prejudices against liquefied petroleum gas among the families in Courtyard 2 for a long time.

Speaking of which, as early as 1969, Beijing Gas Company had conducted pilot projects for civilians to use liquefied gas on Zhao Dengyu Road.

After entering the 1970s, with the completion and commissioning of the Beijing Petrochemical Plant, the work of burning liquefied petroleum gas and oil-based gas production for residents in Beijing was fully launched.

By the end of 1980, under the development principle of "first focus, then general, first inside the city, then outside the city".

The number of residential users of LPG in Beijing has reached 700,000.

The city’s urban residents’ cooking gasification rate reached 62.5%.

It stands to reason that the residents of Courtyard No. 2 of Shan'er Hutong, as residents of the four districts in the city, have long had the opportunity to apply.

Even if the gas license issuance procedure is quite troublesome, it requires the approval of the street and neighborhood committees.

But who let Aunt Bian, the chief director of No. 2 Hospital, sit in charge?

In this regard, several families have natural advantages and should have taken advantage of them long ago.

But things in the world are so unique. Under certain circumstances, advantages can turn into disadvantages.

You know, Aunt Bian has never been to school. She only knows the words in literacy classes.

The old lady is well versed in the worldly affairs of her parents, but does not have much insight.

Especially for new things, I don’t have a good impression of them.

Aunt Bian’s ideology is that it’s okay to be traditional and conservative, but it’s okay to be outdated and stubborn.

Let’s catch up with the time when liquefied petroleum gas was first introduced.

Because the gas company is short of manpower, safety promotion is somewhat inadequate.

The first few users who applied for Shan'er Hutong had several fire accidents caused by improper use one after another.

Once it almost caused a real fire, which caused a lot of chaos for the old lady.

Later, with the help of the street, the gas company held an emergency safety meeting.

After listening to the staff at the gas station saying that this is not okay, that is not okay, this is dangerous, and that is also a lot of taboos.

The old lady felt dizzy and couldn't remember it at all, so she had no good impression of this thing at all.

So even though she can really make things easier for everyone, from the bottom of her heart, she herself is quite resistant to the work of popularizing liquefied petroleum gas.

So talking after closing the door of No. 2 Courtyard is naturally exaggerating and picking out all the faults. It is tantamount to using subtext to persuade the neighbors not to use that thing.

Think about it, the families in Courtyard No. 2 have been promoted like this by the old lady for a long time. Who can still have a good impression of petroleum liquefied gas?

They all thought they had obtained first-hand inside information and regarded this thing as a bomb.

Needless to say, everyone is afraid that the roof of their home will go up to the sky.

As a result, the days passed like this day by day. No matter what other families were like, No. 2 Courtyard of Shan'er Hutong always relied on coal stoves for cooking out of safety considerations.

So to be honest, Ning Weimin is a time traveler, so he is not affected by Aunt Bian.

In other words, he has a relatively good understanding of liquefied petroleum gas.

Only then did everyone liberate themselves from the long-term ignorance and the mentality of scaring themselves.

Otherwise, if even he was fooled by the old lady and gave up the idea of ​​using LPG, it would be a terrible thing for everyone in Courtyard 2.

Because from this time on, Beijing Gas Company has begun to stop developing household users.

To put it bluntly, after passing this village, there is no such shop.

If the gas company completely blocks the door, no matter who wants to change their mind and want to get rid of the hard life of cooking with coal fires, it will take a long time.

At that time, not only will I have to beg for help, but I will also have to borrow other people's gas purchase books every month to "borrow the chicken to lay the eggs."

And you have to spend a lot of money to buy cylinders, stoves, and pressure reducers from unofficial channels.

That's what we call real spending money to buy happiness, and it's a real safety hazard.

Therefore, Ning Weimin has allowed all the families in Courtyard 2 to catch up with the last train for the popularization of liquefied petroleum gas.

For this reason, he took the greatest credit, and the neighbors could not help but appreciate his kindness.

It's interesting to say.

Ignoring Aunt Bian's dissuasion, I insisted on applying for the gas tank for the stove.

Ning Weimin immediately moved these things back and placed them in his small kitchen with lightning speed.

And precisely because he dared to "commit a crime against the wind", he took advantage of the aunt's disdain.

Neighbors from the entire courtyard were attracted.

Whether it was because they were worried that Ning Weimin would get into trouble or because they were just curious about it, everyone wanted to see what was going on and come to give them some advice. They were afraid that Ning Weimin was young and didn't know how powerful he was.

However, no one expected that this boy was really skilled at installing stoves and gas tanks.

In front of everyone, it was installed in three strokes, five divided by two, and as soon as Lan Wangwang's flames started to burn, it actually opened the eyes of all the neighbors.

"Hey, everyone, look at it, it's on fire. How does it feel? Does it work?"

Ning Weimin blew out the match in his hand with displeasure.

He stood up and greeted everyone, looking like he was offering a treasure.

Of course Aunt Bian exclaimed as usual and took the lead in warning.

"Hey, my dear, Wei Min, don't listen to my advice. Look, it looks like a bomb. Aren't you afraid?"

"My Aunt Bian, look at what you said, this is a thing for cooking. What are you afraid of?"

"It's full of liquefied petroleum gas. It's seeping like crazy. Are you sure you can't blow it up?"

"Hey, you really thought it was a bomb. Let me tell you, if this thing is not safe, the government will not let us people use it. Besides, this thing has been popular for so long, and it has not exhausted the fire brigade. . I know you are worried about an accident, but that can only happen if you operate it improperly. Isn’t it possible that a coal stove can set fire to a house? Smoking can even burn the bed. Look, you don’t need to see this gas tank. Charcoal fire will not drop cinders, but is safer..."
