Chapter 324 Exploding rocks in Kaishan encounters an accident

After Chen’s father and Chen’s mother passed away one after another, the silly eldest sister has been in charge of the family since she was 16 years old. She has endured too much hardship. The Chen family’s ability to survive until Chen Qi’s rebirth is the biggest contributor to her.

If it weren't for her hard work carrying bricks and doing farm work to support her younger siblings, she would have starved to death long ago.

"Sister, that's what I think. In the past few years, the family has really needed you, but this year my younger brother and younger sister are going to high school, and I plan to let them live in school. As for me and Lijuan, you can also rest assured that someone will take care of you.

So this year, you have to think about your own problems and find a good husband's family. Don't think that it's okay if you are a rural girl. Our family is richer than ordinary people. If you have a business and can make money, then I will leave this house to you. Who dares to underestimate you? "

The silly elder sister was in a hurry, and lightly slapped Chen Qi:

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? You bought this house, and you also managed our stinky tofu and bacon business. How can you give it to me? Besides, after my sister takes care of you, she also has to take care of my nephew and niece. , busy, no time to get married."

Chen Qi laughed, looked at the chattering people in the main room, and said in a low voice:

"Sister, don't worry. Now that I have money, I have saved a lot of foreign exchange for surgery for foreigners. You can rest assured and find me a brother-in-law. This is what parents want to see most."

Regarding this kind of topic, the silly elder sister didn't take it to heart at all, and said perfunctorily:

"Okay, okay, I see, I'll look for it. By the way, have you had dinner? Shall I cook egg noodles for you?"

Chen Qi sighed, and could only let nature take its course, "Sister, stop busy, let's go, let's watch color TV together."

That night, the four sisters of the Chen family were rarely reunited. While eating foreign snacks, they watched the big color TV, talked excitedly about the programs on the TV, and went to bed very late.

After Chen Qi went to work the next day, he really got into the operating room without running out, and started his own "lurking".

After the establishment of the "Haidong Province Cleft Lip and Palate Treatment Center", it will start a major infrastructure construction. Chen Qi doesn't need to worry about this. Naturally, the hospital's logistics and infrastructure department will take care of it.

The Fourth Hospital originally had a plan to expand the center. This time, the province directly allocated funds, so the scale was enlarged, and it was planned to set up 300 beds and 3 operating rooms.

Although there is not much money in Haidong Province, it is still easy for the province to allocate 500,000 yuan. In addition to infrastructure, this money is also enough for the treatment center to purchase a complete set of machinery and medical equipment for cleft lip and palate surgery.

Chen Qi knew that it was easy for cadres to be overwhelmed by infrastructure construction, so he decided not to touch himself, subcontracted all the projects, and only asked the fourth hospital to do a good job of supervising the work.

He himself is going to make the name of "Haidong Provincial Cleft Lip and Palate Treatment Center" famous in the whole province, and even the whole country.

But often the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.

Time flies and three months have passed.

It has entered May of 1985, the weather is getting warmer, and the slack season is here.

With the deepening of reform and opening up, vigorous infrastructure construction has also begun in various parts of Vietnam and China.

No, Xingtang Township, Chen Qi’s hometown, is also planning to build a road to connect Keqiao Town. If you want to get rich, build the road first, which was also an iron law in the 1980s.

There are no formal engineering teams for road construction in rural areas these days, let alone design companies.

Asphalt or cement roads are even more impossible. Usually, a roadbed is built, paved with crushed stones and rolled down with rolling stones to repair it.

For mountain people, as long as there is a machine-plowing road that allows tractors or horse-drawn carriages to pass, it doesn’t matter even if they say a word.

After all, the cost is there, so you can't expect too much.

However, building roads in mountains is different from flat land. Although there are fewer river networks, there is no need to build many bridges.

Conditions are to build tunnels, and no conditions can only be excavated along the side of the mountain, but this increases the amount of work and is full of danger. After all, some stones need to be blown up with detonators.

Since the road construction is to benefit the village and everyone has a share, each household must provide a male, or how much each household contributes, which is also determined by the township agreement and regulations.

Those who have a lot of money can pay to hire someone to build roads for them.

Those who have no money can only do it by themselves.

These are all voluntary labors without wages, but the commune will manage a meal, free tea, and no snacks.

The cooks and water are also local lesbians. Except for the women directors and female militiamen in the village, they are housewives who have no strong labor force.

Anyway, no matter what you do, you must work hard, otherwise you will be drowned by the spit of the villagers.

For example, in Xiaze Village, Chen Qi’s uncle had to work on the construction site himself.

Chen Qi’s family is in the village except him, and his grandparents are also independent households, so Chen Qi entrusted someone to bring money to the village and bought two quotas.

Originally, Chen Qi didn't have to spend the money, and he didn't want to have any contact with Xia Ze Village, but road construction is a good thing, and he also contributed, and at the same time, he said that he would not take advantage of the villagers.

Liandong Village is also the village through which this new road is built, so Village Chief Zhang Agen has arranged for today's day's work early.

17-year-old Zhang Xiaodong, with a thin body like a hemp stick, has already started working with the villagers with a hoe.

Zhang Xiaodong’s family is in a special situation. His father died of a serious illness a few years ago, and his mother is too weak to engage in physical labor. He has four younger siblings.

So even though Zhang Xiaodong is underage, he has already become the pillar of the family.

It's a pity that Zhang Xiaodong doesn't have the good luck of "Chen Qi". He hasn't been reborn or time-traveled, and he doesn't have Grandpa Jin Laozhi to help him, so he has to do all the farm work at home by himself.

Including this road construction worker, he is the only "near-adult male" in his family, and he will go to work without hesitation.

There is no such thing as child labor and female labor these days, and the Young Pioneers and Women's Pioneers are highly advocated.

While everyone was in full swing, the rocks were loosened due to the explosion of the mountain, and a piece of rock rolled down with a clatter, hitting the road construction crowd at the foot of the mountain.

The village head, Zhang Agen, has experience. When a small stone falls from the mountain, he knows it will be bad, so he shouted loudly:

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the stone is about to fall~~~"

The villagers ran to both sides after hearing this.

But the speed of falling rocks must be faster than the speed of people running, and rolling down the mountain, it may not necessarily go anywhere, and people are randomly harvested.

The older mountain people have experience and will find places to hide.

Zhang Xiaodong was also unlucky. The villagers took care of him and asked him to smash small stones at the foot of the mountain to repair the roadbed. As a result, when the rocks fell, he was in the innermost and ran the slowest.

With a bang, he became the most unlucky guy on the scene and was hit by a stone.
