Chapter 0009 Strengthening the Dam(1/2)
Knowing that Lu Changhua had changed jobs, Lao Lu and Lu's mother didn't say anything. To them, the flood control liaison officer seemed to be more advanced and the work was easier. It was better than pulling the direction lever, right?!
After dinner, Mother Lu found some decent clothes for her son, Lao Lu's dark blue tunic suit.
My son is going to take pictures tomorrow, so he can't be careless.
I have bought this dress for two years, and Lao Lu has not been willing to wear it a few times. Seeing Lu Changhua wearing it, looking handsome and unrestrained, Lao Lu grinned.
"Just wear it, I can't even wear it for work."
"Dad, I'm just going to wear it for taking pictures, and I won't wear it when I get back. I can't work in these clothes!"
Lao Lu thinks about it too.
"It's up to you."
"Mom and Dad, take this."
Lu Changhua took out a passbook.
"Is this your special prize?"
Both my parents were excited.
They had long heard that their son was injured because he won some special prize. In the past two days, his son had not taken out his bankbook when he came back. Although they were curious, they couldn't tell them directly. Now his son has taken it out.
, the old couple felt comfortable that their son belonged to the Gu family after all.
"Mom and Dad, I will use this money next year, so don't spend it!"
After all, Lu Changhua gave a warning. His parents should say what they should say in advance, otherwise if it really goes to waste, he would really be blinded by the time.
"Okay, I'll save it for you so you can get a wife!"
Mom snatched it from Lu Zaigao's hand, looked through it, and looked for a place to hide the money with a smile on her face.
Lao Lu shook his head helplessly and said to his son: "Your mother is the head of our family, she has the final say."
Early on the next morning, the machine parts warehouse manager took the rubber-tyred truck to the field headquarters to import parts. Lu Changhua came to the team headquarters early and hitched a ride with them.
Changshui Farm is located in the middle of the farm, thirty miles away from Sanfenchang. You still have to go south to the fork in the road, go east to the farm, and go west to Beining County.
I arrived at the venue at 9:30 in the morning.
The field is located on a hillside.
A large river flows northward across the road on the west side of this hillside.
The road turned a corner on the hillside and went up the south side around the hillside. A north-south road of more than 200 meters was opposite to the yard of the field department.
There is a main east-west road at the site, which intersects with the north-south road going up the mountain outside the government compound. There is a roundabout all the way to the east, where several roads in different directions branch off.
The main units of the site are located on the north and south sides of this east-west main road.
Starting from the far west is the field hospital, which is also next to the edge of the hillside. To the east is the government family area, followed by the field department compound.
On the south side of the main road, facing the agency, is the agency canteen and guest house.
The radio station is on the south side of the guest house.
To the east, on the north side of the road are the post and telecommunications office, communication station, Agricultural Bank of China, and supply and marketing cooperative.
On the south side of the road is the Farm Children Middle School, and further south are the primary schools and kindergartens.
There are various units around the carousel.
The northwest of the turntable road is the supply and marketing cooperative, the southwest is the public security and judicial department, and the southeast is the agricultural machinery repair factory and automobile fleet.
In the northeast, there are grain and oil supply stations, bus terminals, traffic supervision, and police stations.
Further north is the farmer's market of the farm, where small traders and vendors gather, as well as individual restaurants, clinics, shops, etc.
The grain and oil processing plant is on the east side of the market.
The rubber-tired truck stopped at the roundabout, and all the hitchhikers got off and dispersed.
Lu Changhua went directly to the market.
I found Xiangyang Photo Studio and saw that it wasn't open yet, so I had to wait outside.
The weather was still cold at this time, so he was wearing thin clothes and had to walk back and forth to prevent himself from freezing.
Many people passing by saw him wandering back and forth and felt strange, but no one spoke to him.
Half an hour later, businesses in the market were opening their doors one after another.
After the restaurant opened, the first thing I did was to light up the coal stove and open the door. A stream of soot poured out of the door, choking my nose.
In the midst of the soot, a man walked over, lowered himself, opened the iron chain with a clatter, and pushed open the door of the photo studio.
"Master, I'll take a picture. I'll have it in the afternoon."
The man looked back at Lu Changhua and said as he walked in: "In such a hurry? Can't we do it tomorrow?"
"urgent."
"Then we need to hurry up!"
"How much?"
"1 yuan for ID photo, 5 cents for expedited service, 1 yuan for 5 cents."
"OK."
This is the only photo studio on the farm, so the price is naturally high. Don’t be too dissatisfied and don’t bargain!
The photo studio is very basic.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see the photo studio.
"Sit there."
Bang, turn on the lights.
Then he stuck his head into a piece of cloth.
Holding a small oval airbag in one hand.
"Look here, look here, smile a little, don't blink, keep your head straight. Okay."
Click.
The lights in front of Lu Changhua's eyes flashed suddenly, and the light was gone.
The master stuck his head out and said, "Come and get it at two o'clock in the afternoon."
Lu Changhua gave the money, took a receipt for taking the photo, and walked out.
At this time, there were gradually more pedestrians on the street.
He originally wanted to go find his eldest brother, but considering the complicated interpersonal relationships in their work unit, he decided not to cause trouble and could only go to the supply and marketing cooperative to spend time.
The supply and marketing cooperative on the farm is the best place for many people who come to the farm department to spend time.
In the supply and marketing cooperative, small groups of people were leaning against the wall, eating melon seeds, smoking and chatting. Anyway, they were comparable to teahouses in the city.
While others were bragging and chatting, Lu Changhua flipped through the green book and read to himself.
Strangely enough, after reading it for the first time, it was really easier to read this book again, and soon he had read less than half of it.
In the afternoon, Lu Changhua finally got the photo, and then hurried to the government compound.
The water conservancy department is also in the compound.
After asking around a few people, he came to an office with a wooden sign.
After Lu Changhua went in and handed over the relevant documents, the people in the office asked him to sit down.
After checking the relevant documents, they took out a small notebook from the filing cabinet, pasted Lu Changhua's photo on it, stamped it, and handed it to him.
"You will be the flood prevention liaison officer of the three-point field from now on. If there is any situation, call and report it in time. This is the flood prevention knowledge manual. Take it back and read it carefully."
"OK."
Lu Changhua put the manual into his schoolbag and then asked: "Comrade, is there a weather forecast for this year?"
"The General Administration and the Management Bureau have weather forecasts."
"Will there be floods this year?"
"I can't say for sure now, but we need to nip it in the bud."
As he spoke, the man took out a piece of paper.
Lu Changhua saw the "Weather Forecast Analysis Chart of Black Province for the Next Six Months".
"You can take a copy of this too."
"Okay, thank you."
According to forecast analysis, the rainfall in this year’s rainy season is likely to exceed historical levels.
"Well, with this, it will be easier to handle."
When he returned to the branch office that day, Lu Changhua went to see Han Jianhua.
