Reborn in 1977

Chapter 327: Wasting Time on Frivolous Pursuits

After Secretary Yang and the others left, Chen Fan raised his head, looked at the Eurasian Hobby perched on the treetop beside him, and gently whistled.

The Eurasian Hobby immediately chirped twice, its eyes scanning the surroundings, not allowing any suspicious individuals to approach.

Chen Fan arranged for the security bird to watch over the things in the house, and then went to the educated youth spot in front with peace of mind.

In his own room, the four girls were playing with Gun Gun, forgetting all about work.

Chen Fan's assessment of this was: wasting time on frivolous pursuits!

"Look at yourselves, have you swept the floor? Have you finished your work? Are you going to work today or not? You're just here playing with the panda!"

Huang Ying pouted, "The floor is swept, the tables and chairs are all cleaned, and the sewing machine is also wiped clean."

Yang Ju lowered her head, feeling wronged, "The team didn't arrange for us to work today, they just asked us to work at home, which counts as going to work."

Liu Dan wiped her hands with her apron and said timidly, "There are still a lot of leftovers for lunch, so there's no need to cook dinner. Just heat it up."

Even Jiang Lili, who usually didn't talk much in front of outsiders, bravely raised her hands at this time, holding up two "little mice," and weakly said, "This little guy keeps moving non-stop, never resting for a moment, I don't know what's wrong with it."

Hmm?

Chen Fan walked over, took the panda cub from her hands, and saw that the little guy's belly was bulging, but it kept twisting and turning, which was obviously abnormal. He immediately frowned and gently touched its little belly.

After a moment, he knew what was going on and said to Jiang Lili, "The little guy needs to poop, but it can't get it out. Go find some cotton balls and a larger bowl."

Poop?

Jiang Lili's pretty face turned red, and she ran out with her head lowered.

Chen Fan turned his head and glared at Gun Gun, "Don't you care that your baby needs to poop?"

Huang Ying was on Gun Gun's left, and Yang Ju was on the right, both of their arms being grabbed. It was still chewing on lettuce, its eyes full of innocence.

Look at me like this, how can I manage?

Chen Fan was speechless. Faced with the temptation of food, couldn't you be a little more firm?

After a while, Jiang Lili ran back, her face still red, and handed him the bowl and cotton balls, "Here."

Chen Fan pointed to the table next to him, "Put the bowl on the table, and dip the cotton balls in some alcohol."

After Jiang Lili prepared everything, he walked over and sat on the chair, holding the panda cub's back with one hand, so that its four feet were facing the sky, its little butt facing the mouth of the bowl, and then gently massaged its little butt with the moistened cotton ball.

After a while, a lump of poop with a slight stench fell into the bowl.

Chen Fan's face darkened as he wiped its butt clean, and threw the cub, which had solved its problem, aside. The cub immediately lay comfortably on the table, motionless.

Soon, after solving the problem for the other one, the two panda cubs, who were either brothers or sisters, or brother and sister, lay comfortably on the table like two big meat worms, humming softly.

The gender characteristics of panda cubs are not obvious, and it is difficult for non-professionals to distinguish them. Chen Fan naturally couldn't tell whether they were male or female.

Jiang Lili squatted beside the table, curiously looking at the two big meat worms, blinking her eyes and asking, "Have they been named yet?"

When she heard Chen Fan say "Yes," a bad feeling suddenly surged in her heart.

Could it be Xiao Qiang and Wangcai again?

Then she saw Chen Fan pointing at the giant panda and saying, "The mother is called Gun Gun."

Then, pointing to the two cubs on the table, his face was a little hesitant, "Them? One is called Changjiang, and the other is called Doushi Shui, but I forgot who is who."

All the pandas in the world look the same, so it turns out that it starts from birth?

And the four girls on the side were already struck by lightning.

Gun Gun Changjiang Doushi Shui?

What terrible names?!

Jiang Lili wiped her face, trying hard to hold back her laughter, picked up the ceramic bowl and cotton balls on the table, and walked out, "I'm going to wash the bowl."

Huang Ying and the other two looked at each other, silently complaining in their hearts, so Teacher Chen is not omnipotent!

Chen Fan didn't care what they thought, cut a piece of cloth from an old earth-colored cloth, and then wrapped it around one of the cubs, and even tied a bow, "Okay, from today onwards, you will be called Changjiang."

Changjiang opened its eyes and glanced at him, its expression calm and unmoved.

After a while, Jiang Lili walked back, smiling with her lips pursed, "How about, the mother is still called Gun Gun, and the little ones are called Changchang and Shuishui."

Chen Fan thought for a while, "Okay, let's just call them nicknames."

The three girls next to him immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, a nickname is still a nickname, at least it sounds like a name.

Changjiang Doushi Shui? What terrible names?!

Jiang Lili held Changchang in her arms, her eyes smiling into crescent moons, "So cute."

Then she asked casually, "What is this panda for?"

Raising horses can ride and pull carts, raising dogs can guard the house, raising sheep can shear wool and eat meat, and even the Eurasian Hobby at home can catch rabbits, and snakes can eat mice.

What can this panda do?

Chen Fan was also stunned for a moment. That's right, what can a panda do?

If it were in later generations, anyone could blurt out, it's a national treasure, it's enough to be cute, what else do you want it to do? Perform?

Moreover, as a globally popular and unstoppable national treasure, it not only has very high tourism and research value, but can also be used as a "goodwill ambassador" to go abroad, with diplomatic value.

In addition, because everyone loves pandas, pandas can also be used as a carrier, with additional educational and promotional value.

But those are all meanings for the country, what about for individuals?

Chen Fan walked to Gun Gun and pinched its big face, "Mie mie mie (what can you do)?"

Gun Gun opened its big black round eyes and looked at him, then suddenly lay on the bamboo bed and performed a handstand for him, although the posture was not very standard, but it really was a handstand, with its hands on the bed.

"Wuwu wu (I can do this)."

This was amazing, the four girls all rushed over, hugging, rubbing, and kneading Gun Gun.

It's enough to be cute, what else do you want it to do?

Chen Fan also quite agreed with this, found a gap, reached out from the middle of their bodies to touch Gun Gun's head, and said at the same time, "I'm going to the commune to buy some diesel, you guys stay in the house and watch the house."

Then he grabbed a tuft of hair on top of Gun Gun's head, "Be good and obedient at home, don't cause trouble, especially don't hurt anyone, otherwise I'll punish you by not letting you eat."

When Gun Gun heard that it wasn't allowed to eat, it immediately shivered, its whole body stiff and unable to move, letting the four girls rub it.

Only its two eyes looked at Chen Fan for help.

Chen Fan immediately defused the situation, "Alright, alright, it's not a pet. At least it's a bear, a fierce one. Be careful it gets aggressive with you."

Jiang Lili and the others looked at Gun Gun. Fierce?

Didn't seem like it!

But they still let go, and placed Chang Chang and Shui Shui beside it, preparing to get busy with other things.

Teacher Chen was right, Gun Gun wasn't a pet, and the production team couldn't afford to keep pets anyway. They were busy with work all day long, wishing they could find someone to keep them as a pet. They didn't have that much time for leisure.

It was more important to get down to business.

Afterwards, Jiang Lili went to the back, put the saddle on the little mare, and led it to the front yard. Chen Fan took the reins, and rode off towards the commune.

Those two diesel engines hadn't been tested yet. Although he was confident that there wouldn't be any problems, until they were running, no one knew if these things would work.

What if they waited until the end to test them, and they didn't work? Then today's little water tower dream would really become a pipe dream.

So he had to go to the commune to buy some diesel and engine oil to test the machines.

Before long, he arrived at the town, and people immediately recognized him, waving to greet him.

"Teacher Chen is back?"

"I heard you went to the prefectural health department to teach people how to write books. Is the book finished yet?"

Chen Fan, riding on the horse, felt a little dizzy. Teach people how to write books? What the hell?

He quickly explained, "I wasn't teaching people how to write books, I just went to help out a little."

The man obviously didn't believe him, "Don't be modest. Driver Meng said you went to the prefectural committee to publish a book. Isn't that publishing a book?"

Chen Fan's face was full of awkward smiles, "It is publishing a book, but I wasn't teaching people how to write it."

"That's it then. If you were going to write the book yourself, why would you go there? If they could write it, they would write it themselves. The fact that they needed you to go there means you were definitely teaching them how to write the book."

"Teacher Chen is just being modest!"

Chen Fan, wearing an awkward smile, secretly urged the little mare to run faster.

If he didn't run, he wouldn't know how to respond.

Before long, he arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative. Chen Fan bought a barrel of diesel and a can of engine oil and hurried back.

The diesel and engine oil coupons were obtained from the health department. At that time, Yan Liyuan had given him a large handful of miscellaneous coupons, including diesel, engine oil, gasoline, and kerosene coupons. He just stuffed them all into his pocket.

(Diesel coupon)

Carrying the two barrels of oil, he rushed back to the new house, added some oil to both diesel engines, and added water to the water tanks.

After finishing, Chen Fan picked up the crank and inserted it, cranking it vigorously.

At this time, you have to be especially careful, and be sure to hold the crank tightly, and never let go. Otherwise, the crank will turn with the machine, and break whatever it hits, until it is thrown away. It's very powerful.

The diesel engine started smoothly, and the entire hilltop was filled with a rumbling sound, which carried far, far away.

At this moment, two groups of people came up from the bottom of the slope, one group came through the educated youth point, and the other group ran from the open space west of the educated youth courtyard. Both sides didn't bother to greet each other, and kept their heads down, running towards the top of the slope.

Team Leader Yang, in his prime, was the first to run to Chen Fan, but he didn't even look at Chen Fan. His eyes were fixed on the two rotating diesel engines, not daring to blink.

In less than a minute, the others also ran up one after another, surrounding Chen Fan and the two diesel engines in the middle.

They just watched like that, without saying a word.

It wasn't until Chen Fan finished the inspection and turned off the diesel engine that everyone let out a long breath.

When the diesel engine completely stopped, Chen Fan patted the fuel tank, looked up at Team Leader Yang, and smiled, "I just checked, both can be used normally, and the sound is very smooth. It's no worse than a new machine."

Team Leader Yang pursed his lips and nodded, then suddenly raised his hand and began to applaud.

Soon, applause rang out on the hilltop.

Even Jiang Lili and the four of them ran over, standing outside the crowd, their faces flushed, clapping vigorously.

From now on, Lujiawan would also have its own diesel engine!

Secretary Yang raised his hands, and the surroundings immediately quieted down.

He said to the group of people who came with him, "These two diesel engines were specially bought back by Teacher Chen from the prefectural committee for our Lujiawan to use. One will be used to build a water tower, starting with Team 5 and Team 6, to build a small water tower that can supply tap water to two teams. When we make money from breeding in the future, all the teams will have tap water."

Clap clap clap… …

Whether it was the people from Team 6 or the other group from Team 4, their faces were full of excitement as they automatically applauded.

The four girls outside the crowd had stars in their eyes.

Heavens, Lujiawan was actually going to have tap water?!

Especially Jiang Lili, looking at Chen Fan, her eyes were full of disbelief.

Chen Fan had told her before that he wanted to install tap water in the new house, and even proposed a bet. At that time, she herself couldn't believe it, but based on the various miracles Chen Fan had created, she instinctively refused the bet.

Thinking about it now, she was lucky she didn't bet at the time, otherwise who knows what kind of request Chen Fan would have made.

But now, she vaguely had some thoughts in her heart. Why didn't she bet at the time? If Chen Fan had made some improper request, would she agree or not?

Ugh, so annoying.

Chen Fan looked at the surrounding members and couldn't help but be a little curious. Team Leader Yang brought people over to build a panda garden for him, what were Master Wang and the others from Team 4 doing here?

At this time, Team Leader Yang waved his hand and shouted, "Comrades, Teacher Chen has made such a great contribution to the production team, and only made a small request, which is to build a very small livestock shed… …"

Chen Fan blinked aside.

Wasn't it a panda garden? How did it become a livestock shed?

Team Leader Yang was still doing mobilization work, "To build a livestock shed for the pandas he brought back, plus a fenced enclosure. We don't have diesel engines, but we have craftsmanship,"

Speaking of which, he paused for a moment, "Uh… …, although the craftsmanship was also taught by Teacher Chen, we still have strength. We can't do anything else, but everyone must build this livestock shed well, everyone say, okay?!"

The dozen or so people from Team 6 shouted in unison, "Okay!"

Team Leader Yang waved his hand, "Start work!"

Everyone picked up their hoes and shovels, turned around and ran to the predetermined location.

Then those who pulled the line pulled the line, and those who made marks made marks.

Team Leader Yang was still shouting loudly, "Little Chen, come over and explain how to build it."

Chen Fan then came back to his senses and trotted over, "This place is next to the kitchen, so just build a small house, but the windows should be opened higher, open it into a skylight. It's the panda's dormitory, and then build a courtyard in front, with brick walls on three sides. The side closest to the house, that is, the north side, will be made of wooden stakes. The place should not be too big, nor too small, about the position directly facing the main house door… …"

The panda garden was not complicated, Chen Fan quickly explained the requirements, and the construction team began to dig the foundation.
