A powerful country in scientific research

Su Ran: "Repairing a kang requires skilled workers. Uncle, you can form a kang repair team in the name of the brigade. First, train a group of workers. Some learn to make adobe kangs, and others learn to make brick kangs. After they learn, let them repair kangs for other brigades. The money they earn is the brigade's income. We use this income to buy cement, bricks and other things. The members of our brigade will use work points to exchange for these materials. The wages of the skilled workers can be paid in cash or in centimeters."

Jiang Fusheng's eyes lit up. "This is a good idea. The team members may not have money, but they must have work points. There will definitely be many people willing to do it. But if we build the kang for the team members first, the team will have to pay for it first."

Su Ran nodded. Seeing that her uncle looked unhappy, she tried to test him, "It's like this. If you think this method is feasible, I can advance some money. I still have some money."

Jiang Fusheng waved his hand, "No need, the team should have enough, you don't have to worry about it!" He didn't have the nerve to ask the younger generation for money. Besides, his niece brought such good things and livelihood to their team. They couldn't thank her enough, so why would they cause her any more trouble?

After that, he sighed, "What I'm worried about now is who to find to learn technology. We're all in the same team, and it seems that no one is suitable to find someone else."

Su Ran didn't know what to say when he heard that. Everyone in the team was related to each other, which seemed to be quite troublesome.

Jiang Yunhai's eyes flickered, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "The adobe kang is actually very similar to building a house in many ways. You can find someone who knows how to build a house. They will definitely learn quickly."

Jiang Fusheng looked at his son with satisfaction and said, "With this excuse, those who don't know how to repair a house shouldn't have any objections." As for the brick kang, he had to think carefully about how to choose.

Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang also looked at Jiang Yunhai with satisfaction. They had never realized that the grandson of the eldest brother was so smart. Not bad, not bad. They said that they were all grandsons of the eldest brother, so why was the eldest so good at studying, while the second was so "unmotivated"? It turned out that he had never encountered something he was good at. Look how fast he learned to build a kang today~

Su Ran: "Uncle, after you choose the right people, Brother Yunhai can teach them the adobe kang, and I will teach them the brick kang. I will take this opportunity to build the kang in my grandparents' room."

Jiang Fusheng smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll have to trouble you then."

Su Ran: "It's not that hard, it's just a piece of cake."

The next day, the members of the Jiangshui Brigade held a meeting before going to work as usual.

The captain's voice rang out and reached the ears of the team members. Everyone looked up at the captain and listened to him.

"A while ago, my niece Su Ran came up with a great thing called a kang. This kang is a common way of heating in rural areas in northern China. It has a good heating effect and long-lasting heat. It has two parts, the lower part is the furnace for heating, and the upper part is the bed. It is very warm to sleep on it in winter."

Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Jiang Fusheng continued, "This kang is usually built with bricks and adobes. Brick kangs are expensive but strong, while adobe kangs are not as strong as brick kangs but are cheaper. I won't go into details about this, after all, everyone knows the difference between brick houses and adobe houses. If you are interested, you can go to my uncle's house after work in the evening to have a look. He will heat the kang at night. After watching, if you want to repair the kang, you can register with me."

After Jiang Fusheng finished speaking, he ended the meeting and asked everyone to get back to work.

The members of the Jiangshui Brigade, who had just been notified of an important event, were in no mood to work at the moment. They were all extremely curious about the "fire bed" mentioned by the brigade leader and were discussing it intensely.

“Is this really that warm?”

"I don't know. Let's go to Jiang's house after work?"

"Okay, if it's good, I'll make one at home. I'm afraid of the cold, so I have to endure it every winter."

"Yeah, I don't like winter either. It's too cold. My parents are old, and I worry about them every winter. If this thing is as good as the captain said, I will definitely get it!"

Wang Lanhua, who was not far away, was also talking to the person next to her.

"Lanhua, don't you have a good relationship with the Jiang family? Do you know this kang?"

Wang Lanhua smiled and said, "I know. I saw him yesterday when I went to talk to Chunli."

The man's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Is the kang really that warm?"

Wang Lanhua: "It's really good. When I went there, the kang had just been heated for a short time. The room was warm, just like spring. I stayed in there for a while wearing this dress and was sweating all over. I think I should just wear long sleeves when I stay in that room."

When the people around heard her words, they quickly put down their work and walked over, "Auntie, which one were you looking at yesterday? Didn't the team leader say there were earthen kangs and brick kangs?"

The person who was speaking was Wang Lao Da's wife, who lived on the same street as Wang Lanhua. When the team leader had just mentioned the kang, she had been very excited, especially when she heard that it could be built with adobe bricks. Her family conditions were average, and although she was the only daughter of her parents, her mother was in poor health and it cost a lot of money to see a doctor every year, so she had not been able to save any money.

Now her parents are old, and her mother is in poor health, especially in winter. So when she heard about the "fire bed", she was very excited and wanted to build one for her parents.

Just now when Wang Lanhua was talking to the person next to her, she had been listening carefully. When she heard something that interested her, she quickly asked about her doubts. She didn't know whether the adobe kang was warm or not.

Wang Lanhua: "It's from Mr. Wang's family. The one I'm looking at is the adobe kang. They just built it yesterday and they specially lit a fire to try it out. It was just a coincidence that I came across it."

Upon hearing this, Wang Lao Da's wife smiled widely, "Well, that's great, auntie, how about the adobe kang? Can you explain it to me?"

Wang Lanhua was surprised. "Mr. Wang, your family is well off, so you must have a brick kang. Why are you asking about an adobe kang?"

Wang Lao Da's wife smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm asking on behalf of my parents. My parents are old and I want to repair one for them."

Hearing this, Wang Lanhua nodded. She had also heard about the family of Wang Lao Da's wife. Wang Lao Da married her because she was beautiful. Wang Lao Da's mother initially disliked her family's poverty and was not happy for her son to marry her. Later, she saw that this girl was virtuous and capable, so she relented. Wang Lao Da's wife was indeed capable. Since she married into the Wang family, she had done a good job both at home and outside. She worked full marks every day, and educated her two sons very well. Now one is in junior high school and the other is in elementary school. Their academic performance is among the top in the class. When the two children are not in school, they work at home.

Boss Wang's mother is extremely satisfied with her daughter-in-law. She praises her to others all day long. Everyone likes such a filial and sensible child!

Wang Lanhua's face was full of smiles. "That's great. Your parents paid a lot to raise you, my good daughter! That adobe kang is nice and looks very solid. Although it's not as solid as a brick kang, it can be used for several years. When you get off work, you can go and have a look and experience it."

The smile on Wang Lao Da's wife's face became even bigger. "Okay, then I'll go take a look."

This conversation was happening in many places in Jiangshui Brigade. Su Ran, who was far away in the experimental field, was researching new things in the laboratory. She suddenly shuddered. She thought she was not wearing enough clothes, so she silently put on a piece of clothes and continued the work at hand, seriously and attentively.

At this moment, she didn't know how many people would come to her house tonight.
