[Hanwu Huowei Modern] The Story of Han University
8. Dragon City
If you want to rise up, there are two things, that is, you must be an eagle or a reptile. - Balzac
On the map, there is a point close to the border, where the People’s Liberation Army and the Armed Police border guards are nearby. Although the nearest station is only a dozen kilometers away from the county seat, there are no roads. It takes more than two hours to walk to the station.
In the past five or six years, domestic and foreign geological and mineral exploration teams, mining companies, and school scientific research institutions have gone back and forth hundreds of times to this point, but found nothing.A foreign expert said that based on his professional intuition, he always felt that there was a big guy here.But it really didn't. All the detection equipment has been passed several times, but nothing has been found.
Because the local area is a border trade city, the government is still active. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the province to host a national geological and mining seminar, I said hello and took the participating experts for a walk.
Many experts have been here several times before, and they came here again after getting off the train. They were very dissatisfied with the arrangement of the organizers, and they stayed in the reception hotel and refused to leave.Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing had never been here before. They followed the organizers and several other experts in the car in the early morning when they had nowhere to go, and walked for more than an hour on the Gobi land before reaching the landmark. A group of people squatted down to look at the stones, and discussed the discussion. Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing were not in the direction of exploration, so I heard a few people say that everyone watched for a while, and the organizers took advantage of the heat. Then everyone got back in the car and bumped back to the county seat.
After lunch, many experts went to the nearby market to buy border trade gadgets. The seminar held according to the schedule was less than half the number of people. Fortunately, the discussion was quite lively. The local government still values this project, no Several officials were present, and in order to prevent the silence, they invited an authoritative expert from the province and several scholars in related fields to accompany them.But that authoritative expert was not polite,
"If you ask me, there is really nothing in this place. Don't talk about others, just talk about me. I have come to this hotel and conference room to discuss this place for more than 20 times. Experts from home and abroad have been here. Several The team also conducted preliminary exploration, but nothing came out."
Another expert sent materials to everyone, "This is the platform and the local stratum section and structural section. It is not ruled out that there are coal or sedimentary minerals in it, but the surface geological environment is not good, and it is difficult to excavate."
"That's right. Our exploration team once explored in the local area for a month. The latitude is too high, there are no roads, larger machinery can't get in, the temporary electricity connection is unstable, and there is no water source. The climate is very harsh, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge. We still recommend that local governments have the opportunity to apply for national-level projects in the future, and after the surrounding supporting facilities are provided, let the large state-owned mining enterprises and experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences determine and develop together.”
Seeing that the local officials and organizers were pouring cold water on them, they had no choice but to accompany everyone to dinner, and then sent everyone back one after another the next morning.Wei Qing brought a lot of food and play for Wei Qubing, and also a lot of specialty products for Liu Che, Pingyang and the three sisters.
Liu Che put down his school work and went out to play with Chen Ajiao to relax, and he came back more than a week later.Liu Che was so distracted that he felt nauseous, and when Wei Qing was not in the mine, he frequently went to eat with Wei Qing and Wei Qubing.
Once the three of them sat down in a restaurant, Wei Qing took out two pictures and asked them if they thought they looked alike. Liu Che was from a business school, and he couldn't tell the difference from those crooked spots, but he thought it was okay. similar.Wei Qubing directly regarded it as a game of finding common ground, and found more than a dozen common ground.Liu Che didn't understand what it meant, Wei Qing said,
"This is the material brought back from a meeting a few days ago. This is the plan and section of the Olapa Mine on the old materials in the library of Chang'an University."
"What kind of mine is Orapa?"
"Kimberlite mine."
"What is Kimberlite?"
"Almost one-fifth of the index mines of diamonds contain diamonds."
Hearing what Wei Qing, who had always been careful and steady, said, Liu Che's heart moved.
After the start of the school year, the School of Geology and Mineral Resources organized all the students who had completed the basic study in the third grade and above in the name of production practice. Liu Che found a mining machinery factory, rented equipment, and found dozens of workers with mining experience. Li Guang, Gongsun Ao and Gongsun He led the team to the front line.
After Li Guang knew the ins and outs of the matter, he was very dissatisfied. As soon as Liu Che finished the meeting, he complained loudly in the corridor,
"Secretary secretary, it's really sweet and sweet. After being a secretary, my sister is my secretary and my brother. It's enough for the secretary to be an office director. Is mining a joke? What's the matter? Chang'an University also went to see it, and Xiongnu University also went to see it, Those experts and professors can’t compare to a little driver and secretary?! Isn’t this a fool’s errand?” Although the teaching staff next to him were dissatisfied, they should not follow him and left in a hurry.
Many students from private universities come from very good families. They come to study with the idea of spending money to buy a diploma. After getting off the bus and seeing the environment, they quit. But they can’t go back. The equipment was dragged in, followed by temporary electricity connection, and Jian set up four tents, with 50 people in each tent, divided into two bunks on both sides, managed by Li Guang, Gongsun He, Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing respectively.
After coming for more than a week, Li Guang's complaints have not stopped, and many students have changed to his tent one after another. He couldn't help Gongsun Ao, so he went to Wei Qing. Wei Qing had no choice, and didn't want to conflict with him, so he did whatever he wanted.Once he found out that Wei Qing didn't do what he said, and he was furious at that time. Wei Qing was determined, and replied, "That's not what the book said..." He interrupted him and angrily reprimanded in front of the students. It's not like the state-owned mines I read before can't get out of the mouth.
"What are you? Ah?! Do you know how much you weigh? How crazy are you when you see undergraduates calling you a teacher?! You haven't stayed in school yet! Do you remember how you got here? If not Principal Liu said hello, can you get in? Think you have learned well? Are you proud of being the first in the exam every year?! Who knows if Principal Liu will give you a thorough examination of the questions? Do whatever you like! If something happens, don’t look for it. Me! I don’t care anymore!”
After that, he really didn't care about it, and the students in his tent didn't come out to work anymore.
Wei Qing was not discouraged, some students secretly said to him, "Mr. Wei, you are right, it is not written that way in the book."
Drilling in the morning and afternoon, discussions in the tent at noon and evening, the one-month internship period will soon be over, the teachers and students will return to school first, and the workers will stay behind. Li Guang also told the students along the way,
"Isn't this treating students as child labor? Isn't that what college students do? Don't be afraid, they dare not tell the principal, dare not offend the principal! I'll tell!"
The samples brought back were sent to the Provincial Research Institute for analysis. They were kimberlite, containing pyrope, large-grained olivine, orthopyroxene, large phlogopite crystals, etc., but did not contain diamond components.
Li Guang complained to Liu Che, and Liu Che asked the students to understand the situation.
The local government saw that the workers were still staying behind, so they called Liu Che and asked if they wanted to contract mining. Liu Che approached Han Anguo, the dean of the School of Geology and Mining, who strongly opposed it.
"Mines are things that can't be seen just by looking at the pictures, especially diamonds. According to the pictures, the Soviet Union searched for more than ten years in Siberia before finding them. It was still the power of the whole country. Private schools like Han University don't have this at all. Including financial resources, manpower, and the cost of artificial machines, the current situation of Han University can last for a year and a half. Even if it is found, what should I do if the gem level is low? And if you bring students, the safety of students is also a big problem! If it is a student I really bumped into the mine, how do I explain it?"
Later, Liu Che said very literaryly in his memoirs that before that, he had never lived the life he wanted. At that time, there was a voice in his heart asking—to be or to be destroyed. He would rather be destroyed than continue to live like this go down.
Liu Che's grandma, Dou Yifang, is in the advanced stage of diabetes, and her complications are very serious, and she is close to blindness. Liu Che has a certain degree of autonomy. He asked his accountant Sang Hongyang and auditor Zhang Tang to calculate the cost. After checking the books, I decided to do it!
Seeing that Liu Che didn't reply, the local government called twice a day to ask questions. Liu Che took the opportunity to lower the price several times, and agreed to sign the contract first, and pay the contract money after the school started.The other party immediately sent relevant personnel to Han University by train to sign the contract. At that time, there was a saying that "persist in reform and opening up for 100 years without wavering", so the contract mining contract signed by Han University was also for 100 years.
Han University originally planned to start construction on two buildings, one is the student dormitory and the other is the administrative building.
Liu Che's grandfather Liu Heng and father Liu Qi are both frugal and stingy people. The current administrative building of Han University was opened when Liu Henggang became the principal, and it was remodeled from the former student dormitory of Qinchu College. Small, door to door, it is said that after many years of use, you can still see the imprint of the dormitory bed on the wall.
Because no one knows how old this administrative building, which was formerly a student dormitory, is, and the creepers all over the exterior walls and the damp and dark corridors are very infiltrating, so there are many horror stories about it, such as the toilet on the second floor Hanged people, the original 414 dormitory has a couple who died in love and are still wandering nearby...
The heating pipes are also aging. In many offices, the heating is not hot in winter, and the toilets on the higher floors can't draw water well... The faculty and staff have great opinions, so Tian Fu, who is in charge of infrastructure, has applied for it earlier, and Liu Che has approved it. In the first approval, Wang Zhi finished the approval of Dou Yi's room, and there are still N more suggestions for simplifying and saving money.
Student apartments must be built, otherwise freshmen will have no place to live in the coming year.The administrative building can wait for a while, the money to build the administrative building is just enough to contract the mine.
Liu Che's uncle Tian Fu was very dissatisfied with this.
Liu Che held a mobilization meeting with the School of Geology and Mining and the Student Office, and organized teachers and students to start mining.
Han Anguo has the dean's work to do, so he can't go; Li Guang is [-]% dissatisfied with this project, he is unwilling to go, and says that none of his students will go; Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing must go, but Gongsun He unexpectedly I am also very interested in the project, and decided to bring my students to participate in the project. Depending on the work arrangement, it may not be necessary to stay for a long time. Some young teachers also expressed their willingness to participate in the project.
Thinking that the School of Geology and Mineral Resources still had first and second grades to attend and needed teachers, Liu Che agreed to this plan.The project leader is Gongsun Ao, and Wei Qing is the assistant.
After the mobilization of the student office, the number of students who were willing to participate in the project was counted, and it was better than expected, reaching three quarters. Liu Che was very satisfied, and asked Gongsun Hong not to force the students too much.The students who participated in the project were given a week off to prepare the items they needed to bring. In addition, they contacted their parents to sign the "Parents' Informed Consent Form". After that, they participated in three days of safety education as a group. Go to the mining area.
The project known as "Kimberlite Mine No. 001" officially started.
10-year-old Wei Qubing graduated from the fourth grade and was admitted to the junior class of the High School Affiliated to Han University.
This education method, which was later controversial, was extremely cruel from the beginning of the recruitment.
First, 60 experimental class students were selected from thousands of registered candidates through a written test. The test subjects were Chinese and mathematics.The experimental class has a total of 30 days, with no rest day in between. The learning content is Chinese, mathematics, and foreign languages. Each class is 90 minutes long. There are four classes a day. The first three classes are taught, and the last class is Q&A and exams.From the first day, one person will be eliminated every day, and it will be announced when school is over. After 30 days, the remaining 30 people were officially admitted as students in the junior class, and started a new journey, completing the remaining elementary school, junior high school, and high school courses in four years.
Wei Zifu did not quite agree with Wei Qubing's application for the exam. After all, the child is too young and the pressure is too great, but Liu Che expressed his support. Wei Zifu wanted to call Wei Qing, but he couldn't get in touch at all. He waited for more than a week. When Wei Weiqing called her, the results of the experimental class were all down, and Wei Qubing, Cao Xiang and Zhao Ponu all passed the exam.Wei Qing knew that Wei Qubing was taking the junior class, and felt very distressed. He repeatedly said not to be too tired, not to be too reluctant. Wei Qubing repeatedly emphasized that don't worry, trust my strength.Liu Che looked at his unscrupulous little appearance, and liked it very much.
At the stage of the experimental class, Zhao Puonu was eliminated on the third day. Mathematics is about solid geometry, tetrahedron, hexahedron, sphere, cylinder, various connections, various cutting, and various twists and turns; Chinese is very characteristic of Han University , talking about Chinese Fu with extremely sharp teeth; for the sake of fairness, the foreign language teacher specially hired speaks Spanish, and the exam will be taken as soon as the lecture is finished.... Zhao Puonu's mother took her son to eat for a few days. Chang'an is the best The restaurant, to shock the silly son.
Cao Xiang persisted until No. 15 days. He tenaciously previewed and reviewed every day until late at night. The desk lamp in the room was comparable to the lights in Zhongnanhai. Just ask Wei Qubing.Cao Xiang was stunned when she opened the test paper on the 15th day - your sister!Didn't you just learn it?It's all about permutations and probabilities!Putting a ball on this tetrahedron is a magic horse?Where did this sentence come from?I remember I will! ——When Liu Pingyang went to pick up his son after school that day, he saw his son carrying his schoolbag and burying his head in despair following Wei Qubing. When he left the school gate, he was about to ask when his son threw himself into his arms. Woo cried.
Wei Qubing persisted till the end, Wei Qing was very distressed, this kind of distress overwhelmed his joy and pride.
Wei Qubing has always remembered clearly why he went against the wishes of his uncle and third aunt to go to the youth class at that time - he began to understand from the first day of school when he was six years old that he had to go to school, Wei Qing had to go to work, and they to separate.
He didn't like this and wanted it to end quickly.
Sometimes he himself is surprised by his precocity.
Liu Che took advantage of the meeting that autumn to take Han Yan to the mine to see Wei Qing.
The two got off the train, searched for a long time but found no car, and were about to find a place to stay. Only then did they see two motorcycle drivers who looked like saviors at the entrance of the hotel, and immediately negotiated a price and offered the travel expenses.The road conditions were very bumpy, Han Yan screamed again and again, the motorcycle drove for a while and threw the two people on the side of the road, Han Yan kept yelling that it hadn't arrived yet, the motorcycle driver ignored it, pointed in the direction, and said that there was no road ahead Turn around and leave.
Han Yan kept muttering that he shouldn't give the money first, Liu Che looked in the direction the man pointed, saw a big machine and a tent, teased Han Yan and walked over.The barren place is like this. Looking at the distance, the two of them still have the mood at the beginning. You carry me ten steps, and I carry you five steps. Gradually, you lose that thought. The sun above your head and the road under your feet are scorching. Han Yan yelled while drinking water that this is not a place for people to come, and she will never come again next time. This is the first time Liu Che has suffered such a crime. He was so tired that he groaned and walked for almost two hours. After finishing the drink, Han Yan didn't bother to walk there, and got into the nearest tent as soon as he arrived.
Liu Che followed in. The tent was like a steamer, hotter than outside.Looking left and right, there are two rows of big shops, with several stoves in the middle, a black painted wooden board propped up by the door, with something written in circles on it, the two of them found a clean shop to sit on, There was no one in the tent, and it was almost time to rest. Liu Che looked at his watch, and just thinking that it was almost time for dinner, he heard the voices of a few female students chattering, and came in with a sway of the door curtain.
Several people were startled when they saw the two of them. A student who knew Liu Che hurriedly said, Hello, Principal Liu! Principal Liu is here, and I will call Teacher Wei.Said and ran away.Several other students also said hello to the principal, and started cooking inside and out, regardless of other things.
Han Yan was so thirsty, she took a water glass and asked a female student to pour water for him. The female student went to the corner and took out a black water bottle, poured him half a glass, saw that Liu Che also took a glass, and poured it for Liu Che again. Drank half a glass.Liu Che was also thirsty, didn't look at it, drank it all, and just wanted to ask for more, Han Yan raised her transparent water glass and yelled at the female student,
"What are you pouring for me? Is it water that is so muddy for people to drink? What about feeding animals? Water for washing vegetables and pots? Why is it so muddy? It's not as clean as the water for flushing the toilet!" After going out, I kept muttering, "Hurry up and bring me some clean water, my water glass is dirty, how can I drink water in the future?"
The female student was so angry that she couldn't speak. A student next to her who was busy cutting cabbage was not happy about it. The students of Han University were not afraid of the teacher at all, so they shouted at Han Yan at that time,
"Would you like to drink or not? Don't drink it all day if you can! Do you know how many people drink this pot of water? How much is a person? Why are you so coquettish, a big man? We little girls can drink it, What can't you drink? Like to drink or not! No one will give him water for a while."
When Liu Che looked at the glass of water, his stomach was overwhelmed and he couldn't speak.
Wei Qing heard the students say that Liu Che was here, and then he saw that it was almost time for dinner, so he closed the team and asked everyone to go back to eat. Gongsun He and Gongsun Ao hurriedly followed the student to the tent. Seeing them coming in, Liu Che suppressed his nausea and said,
"It's okay, come out for a meeting, just have a chance to take a look."
Gongsun He hurriedly reported the situation, "This pit has to be dug again to get out of the mine. Let alone more than a week. I discussed it with Xiao Wei and Lao Ao, so I won't take it back to Chang'an for testing. It takes time and effort to go back and forth. Costly."
Liu Che nodded in agreement, Gongsun Ao saw that his face was not good, and kept nagging him to rest, Liu Che looked at a few people and said, they are not particularly tired, everyone has worked hard, and it's time to eat quickly.
Wei Qing came back at lunch time, the dish was stewed cabbage and potatoes, without any oil stars, because it was cooked by students, the cabbage and potatoes were big and small, thick and thin, some were raw and some were cooked, Han Yan didn’t dare to see so many people Too presumptuous, so I whispered to Liu Che,
"It's not cooked yet, how can I eat it?"
Liu Che deliberately teased him, "This is still made with water that is dirtier than the water just now."
Because Han Yan didn't drink water, she just drank a lot of soup and couldn't spit it out. The nausea was so unbearable that she pushed the bowl away and stopped eating.
After dinner, Gongsun Ao, Wei Qing, and Gongsun He took a few young teachers and graduate students together to gesticulate and draw on the blackboard for a long time, turning over the drawings and counting, while the students rested aside.
In the afternoon, Liu Che insisted on going to see the mine. Han Yan said that he had suffered from heat stroke, so he picked a clean place and laid down the plastic sheet he brought. Liu Che threatened him that the tent was not ventilated. It was really heat stroke in the afternoon, and he didn't get up.
Liu Che followed to the mine, but couldn't understand it. There were several big holes next to them, which were very deep. He knew that there were no diamonds.He looked back and forth at the student workers, consoled each of them, and expressed respect. Gongsun Ao saw that he was shaking from the heat, and kept persuading him to go back and find a shady place to rest. Liu Che was too hot, too. I returned to the tent at three o'clock, and I didn't feel disgusted once I entered the tent. I poured a glass of water from the black teapot and drank it all in one go.
Han Yan was still lying there, Liu Che touched him and saw that he was looking at him with his eyes open,
"I might really have a heat stroke. The water is so disgusting, why are you still drinking it?"
Liu Che kissed him, "I'm telling you, this tent is like a steamer during the day, it's not ventilated, so it's strange if you don't have heatstroke, let me see if it's steamed?" He began to touch it.
Han Yanjiao hid with a smile, "Little pig, don't make trouble, let's hurry back before dawn, where is this place where people stay? I can't bear this crime."
Liu Che pressed him and touched, "I asked just now, there is no car on the way out, even on the road, the two of us, it takes three hours to walk to the county seat, are you not tired?" He kissed his ear again. "Besides, I'm the headmaster. I can't leave when I first arrived. I have to endure it all night. I'll leave tomorrow."
Han Yan was still not happy, so Liu Che teased him, "You are in a hurry to go back to the hotel because you don't want that? Why don't we come now?"
Han Yan was ashamed and angry, "What kind of place is this? It's like a livestock pen. Don't you think it's disgusting?"
The two were chattering and fighting, when suddenly there was chaos outside, and a girl's sharp scream came over.
Liu Che ran out in three steps and two steps, Han Yan straightened her clothes and followed.
In the mine that was being opened, the cable broke halfway up the lift.
The students were all terrified. When Liu Che arrived, he saw Gongsun Ao and Gongsun He comforting the students. There was no Wei Qing alone. A few students were standing by the pit and crying,
"Teacher Wei is still below! Teacher Wei is still below! Teacher Wei asked us to go up first, and I am still below!"
The students shouted anxiously after hearing this,
"Teacher Wei is down there! Teacher Wei!"
Liu Che was flustered unspeakably, and it didn’t work to see such a mess. He asked Gongsun Ao and Gongsun He about the situation. It turned out that when he went down the well in the afternoon, he felt that the elevator was shaking a little. It was decided to Masui immediately, and the students left first.The students were afraid and did not dare to go up the elevator, so Gongsun Ao took the first batch of students up the well, and Gongsun He was on it at the time, knowing the situation, he quickly helped to comfort the students, so that three batches of students went up one after another, and finally the cable broke. When it was over, there were only Wei Qing and a few young teachers left in the well.After counting the number of people, I asked again. In the past few days, people from the equipment manufacturer happened to come for maintenance, and there was another manufacturer's maintenance personnel below. There were exactly ten people underground.
Liu Che silenced everyone, and several people gathered around to discuss, because there was a problem with the equipment, and the people from the manufacturer also cooperated very actively.
First, let a few students with loud voices shout down the well, look at the situation below, and there is a response, although it is not very clear, but from the few words heard and the tone of the answer, it should be that no one is serious.Liu Che breathed a sigh of relief, and the people from the equipment manufacturer hurriedly said,
"Someone is fine. There is an engineer below who can run down the cable. He has maintenance tools on his body. Let him change the cable and start the machine to go up the well."
So everyone rushed down the cable together, and Han Yan also helped to run back and forth, and it went down to the end. They felt someone pulling from below, and everyone's hearts finally fell to the ground.After another half an hour, someone pulled the rope again from below, and everyone pulled the cable upwards together, but it couldn't be pulled, so it was definitely tied.The maintenance unit immediately connected the motor to prepare the well, but it couldn't be opened no matter what.
Liu Che became angry and yelled at several people from the equipment manufacturer,
"What the hell is going on with this thing?! Can it be used?! With your broken machine, who will use it in the future?!"
The people from the factory knew that he was the principal, so they hurriedly laughed with him, saying that the voltage was unstable. Gongsun Ao and Gongsun He also persuaded him, saying that the voltage here was unstable, so they could think of other ways.
Liu Che couldn't bear the anxiety, flustered, rubbing his hands and walking back and forth for a long time,
"Is there any student who can run fast, go to the county seat quickly, find someone or call, and apply for equipment to rescue."
"Principal, let's not talk about the time it takes to go back and forth. The road is like this now. The rescue equipment can't get in at all. After the rescue equipment is dismantled and dragged in, and then installed and debugged, even if there is no landslide, the people below will freeze to death."
Liu Che's eyes were red with anxiety, what if Wei Qing died?What if Wei Qing really froze to death?Roaring anxiously,
"Hurry up and find a way! Hurry up and find a way for me!"
A girl was crying, and Gongsun Ao was so anxious that he shed tears.
When I had no other choice, I don’t know which student shouted,
"It's all connected, everyone pull Teacher Wei up together!"
The students ran to grab the cable and shouted,
"Yes! Everyone pull Teacher Wei up!"
"I'll come to Teacher Lawei too."
"And me, Teacher Lawei."
"Mr. Lawei, come up."
……
A few students with loud voices shouted at the mouth of the well, "Teacher Wei, let's pull you up together!"
Liu Che also went to pull it, and Han Yan also went to pull it, and finally pulled the elevator up, and the students ran to surround it with joy, without Teacher Wei,
"Just now we had a discussion below, and the people from the manufacturer also said that there are too many people and I'm afraid they won't be able to handle it, so three people come up at a time."
Everyone hurried back and continued to pull, until the third time Masui Weiqing came up, everyone surrounded him, the students were crying, Liu Che was also crying, Han Yan kept wiping his tears.
Wei Qing saw the students crying, and saw Liu Che crying with tears in his eyes, comforting everyone with a smile,
"Are you terrified? It's okay, it's okay, it's all over, isn't it coming up? Don't cry, there is another person down here."
Then everyone ran back and shouted,
"Teacher Wei is coming up, and there is another person, pull him up."
"Teacher Wei is here."
"Great! Teacher Wei is here."
……
The last Masui's factory maintenance personnel is called Su Jian.
Liu Che felt that Su Jian was very capable and could make Wei Qing ascend the well before himself.
After tossing for so long, I can't go back to the county even if I want to go back.Dinner was still cabbage and potatoes, both half-cooked and not oily. After the meal, the teacher discussed with the students. After the discussion, Gongsun Ao came over and picked two clean places for Liu Che and Han Yan.
Neither of them could sleep at night, snoring and dreaming, there was no water to wash their faces and feet, there were so many people, it was full of sweat, and the tent was like a steamer during the day, but it was terribly cold at night.Gongsun Ao arranged a good place for the two of them, there was a stove next to the airtight, Han Yan looked at the door curtain that was blown back and forth, and thought how cold it would be if he slept at the door, turned around to see that Liu Che was not asleep, and whispered He whispered in his ear,
"I have to go back to the county seat tomorrow, I can't stay anymore, is this a place where people live? This bed is too disgusting, and it smells like this, how disgusting. Are you listening? Come back tomorrow morning County town!"
Liu Che didn't move, his hands were blistered, and he had experienced something he hadn't experienced today.
Liu Che used part of the money to build the dormitory building to improve the living environment and food for the mine.Liu's family surrounded him in the office and scolded him. His uncle said he wanted to find Wei Qing and beat him to death. Liu Che said you should go find him.Wang Zhi called him a rebellious son, Chen Ajiao threw things at home every day, and her aunt also made trouble with him many times.
He hid at Wei Zifu's place. Fortunately, his sister still supported him. Several relatives of Liu's family went to see Dou Yifang who was seriously ill, saying that Han University would not be able to keep at this rate and wanted to change the principal, but Dou Yifang said,
"The matter has come to this point, it's useless to change the headmaster, just do your best and obey the destiny."
Later Wei Qing asked Liu Che if he was afraid at the time, and Liu Che said,
"At first I wanted to take a gamble. Although I thought I could get something out, I was also worried about what to do if I couldn't get diamonds, and what to do when Han University was over. Later, I went to see you and pulled you up with the students. At that time, I suddenly felt that even if It doesn’t matter if you don’t produce anything, if you have this energy, Han University will not be able to finish.”
The weather in the mining area was cold early, and the students and workers retreated one after another after October [-]st.Wei Qing was used to being meticulous and meticulous, and he was worried about putting machinery and equipment and items that everyone hadn't taken away in the warehouses of residents in the county town, so he asked several relevant local departments to coordinate to a manned factory warehouse, and hired people to carry and tidy them up. By the time we finished our work and went back, the first snow was already falling in Chang'an.
Because of the snow that day, the youth class canceled the evening class, and went to school with the attached middle school and the attached primary school. Wei Qubing and Cao Xiang took Liu Weichang, a first-grade student, as soon as they walked to the school gate, they saw their uncle waiting for them. , there is a faint yellow light, the uncle is standing inside, and the uncle has lost weight.Wei Qubing frantically ran over to hug his uncle, buried his head in his stomach.
Wei Qing hugged him tightly, and took a while to pull him up to look at him. Wei Qubing rubbed his heart with eyes full of grievances and joy.
Liu Weichang and Cao Xiang also ran over,
"Hello, Uncle Wei!"
"Uncle, are you back!?"
Wei Qing pulled Chief Wei into a hug again, and patted Cao Xiang's head. Chief Wei watched Wei Qubing hold his uncle tightly, and said,
"Brother Qubing is a bad person! When you see uncle, ignore me!" Hearing that Wei Qubing said that he would go home with Wei Qing instead of going to his own house, he was so anxious that he was about to cry, "No, no! Brother Qubing promised me I went home with me! Brother Qubing sent me home!" Cao Xiang quickly went up to persuade him, Liu Weichang pushed and hit him, but in the end he couldn't push him, brother Qubing didn't even look at him, so he cried and went back to Brother Cao Xiang Weeping and shouting to Wei Qubing, "Uncle won't recognize my family when he comes back, and don't come to my house after uncle leaves!"
Wei Qing was so distressed that he hugged Qubing for a while, and then took him by the hand to go home.
"Is Qubing cold?"
"It's not cold. Uncle, your hands are so cold, why are uncle's hands broken?"
"Uncle's hands are freezing. In winter, you have to listen to your third aunt. Dress warmly and wear gloves, otherwise you won't get cold."
"Understood. Aunt San said, it won't be easy to get well after freezing."
"Are you tired from studying?"
"is acceptable."
"What would Qubing want to eat?"
"Boil lamb."
The two bought mutton slices, cabbage, frozen tofu, vermicelli, mahjong, leek flowers... and bought three catties of eggs at the vegetable market. No one lived in the house for a long time, so I don't know if the things in the refrigerator can still be eaten.
When they went back to wash the vegetables and put them in the hot pot, Wei Qubing told him not to let Wei Qing do it. He said that Wei Qing’s hand was broken, so don’t touch the water. Fortunately, the hot pot is relatively simple. The dishes were ready in a while, and the two of them were really hungry, so they ate everything.
Wei Qubing finished his meal, washed the pots and chopsticks, and then came back to do his homework. Wei Qing stayed with him and saw that he was doing almost everything right.
The next morning, Wei Qubing got up early and said he wanted to make breakfast for his uncle, but Wei Qing couldn't help it. The rice was fresh porridge and the bread bought yesterday, and the dishes were fried eggs and shredded potatoes. Wei Qing watched him slowly. Slowly cutting potatoes, his movements are stiff and his expression is focused, the shreds of potatoes are quite thin,
"When did Qu Bing learn to cook?"
"It's so simple, just watch Auntie do it a few times and you'll be fine."
"Are you cooking at the third aunt's house?"
"Why should I do it for them? Uncle's hand is broken, Qubing only makes it for uncle."
Wei Qing instantly felt a sense of relief that my family has a child who has just grown up.
Wei Qing was on vacation after finishing the two exams, and Liu Che never visited him, but Gongsun Ao invited him to dinner many times, and he needed to satisfy his hunger.
Seeing that Wei Qing had chilblains on his hands and feet, Wei Zifu was very distressed. He went to the hospital to prescribe medicine, and found several folk remedies. When he had spare time, he knitted several pairs of cashmere gloves and socks with three or four strands of thread for Wei Qing to wear.
After Wei Qubing finished his exams, he went to class for two weeks before he had a holiday. The teachers of each subject left a lot of homework for the holidays.Wei Qing took Wei Qubing to the Chang'an City Library by bike every day. Wei Qing asked the administrator to help find all the relevant materials that he could find for transcription, and Wei Qubing did his homework beside him.Wei Qubing was quick at everything, and finished his homework in a week. Watching Wei Qing copy and draw,
"Uncle, can I help you draw?"
"Qubing is boring? Why don't you read a storybook? Do you want to go to Third Aunt's house to play with Cao Xiang and Chief Wei?"
"I'm not looking for them! Uncle let me draw, I can draw well, those foreign languages I don't know, I can't write well, I can draw those pictures well."
Wei Qing saw that he was also idle, so he asked him to draw, just like what the art teacher said, who is horizontal and vertical, the circle is very round, the proportions are correct, and the labels are carefully marked.
Wei Qing looked very happy and felt relieved from the bottom of his heart.
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the library closed early, Wei Qing took Wei Qubing to buy a box of apples and oranges, and rode to Zhang Qian's house.
Zhang Qian is Liu Che's high school classmate. It is said that he has studied in five countries and is proficient in eight foreign languages. Even his wife is a foreigner. The New Western Foreign Language School under his name is a listed transnational chain training and education giant. It not only teaches Chinese to learn foreign languages, He also ran a lot of schools in the Huns to teach the Huns
On the map, there is a point close to the border, where the People’s Liberation Army and the Armed Police border guards are nearby. Although the nearest station is only a dozen kilometers away from the county seat, there are no roads. It takes more than two hours to walk to the station.
In the past five or six years, domestic and foreign geological and mineral exploration teams, mining companies, and school scientific research institutions have gone back and forth hundreds of times to this point, but found nothing.A foreign expert said that based on his professional intuition, he always felt that there was a big guy here.But it really didn't. All the detection equipment has been passed several times, but nothing has been found.
Because the local area is a border trade city, the government is still active. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the province to host a national geological and mining seminar, I said hello and took the participating experts for a walk.
Many experts have been here several times before, and they came here again after getting off the train. They were very dissatisfied with the arrangement of the organizers, and they stayed in the reception hotel and refused to leave.Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing had never been here before. They followed the organizers and several other experts in the car in the early morning when they had nowhere to go, and walked for more than an hour on the Gobi land before reaching the landmark. A group of people squatted down to look at the stones, and discussed the discussion. Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing were not in the direction of exploration, so I heard a few people say that everyone watched for a while, and the organizers took advantage of the heat. Then everyone got back in the car and bumped back to the county seat.
After lunch, many experts went to the nearby market to buy border trade gadgets. The seminar held according to the schedule was less than half the number of people. Fortunately, the discussion was quite lively. The local government still values this project, no Several officials were present, and in order to prevent the silence, they invited an authoritative expert from the province and several scholars in related fields to accompany them.But that authoritative expert was not polite,
"If you ask me, there is really nothing in this place. Don't talk about others, just talk about me. I have come to this hotel and conference room to discuss this place for more than 20 times. Experts from home and abroad have been here. Several The team also conducted preliminary exploration, but nothing came out."
Another expert sent materials to everyone, "This is the platform and the local stratum section and structural section. It is not ruled out that there are coal or sedimentary minerals in it, but the surface geological environment is not good, and it is difficult to excavate."
"That's right. Our exploration team once explored in the local area for a month. The latitude is too high, there are no roads, larger machinery can't get in, the temporary electricity connection is unstable, and there is no water source. The climate is very harsh, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge. We still recommend that local governments have the opportunity to apply for national-level projects in the future, and after the surrounding supporting facilities are provided, let the large state-owned mining enterprises and experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences determine and develop together.”
Seeing that the local officials and organizers were pouring cold water on them, they had no choice but to accompany everyone to dinner, and then sent everyone back one after another the next morning.Wei Qing brought a lot of food and play for Wei Qubing, and also a lot of specialty products for Liu Che, Pingyang and the three sisters.
Liu Che put down his school work and went out to play with Chen Ajiao to relax, and he came back more than a week later.Liu Che was so distracted that he felt nauseous, and when Wei Qing was not in the mine, he frequently went to eat with Wei Qing and Wei Qubing.
Once the three of them sat down in a restaurant, Wei Qing took out two pictures and asked them if they thought they looked alike. Liu Che was from a business school, and he couldn't tell the difference from those crooked spots, but he thought it was okay. similar.Wei Qubing directly regarded it as a game of finding common ground, and found more than a dozen common ground.Liu Che didn't understand what it meant, Wei Qing said,
"This is the material brought back from a meeting a few days ago. This is the plan and section of the Olapa Mine on the old materials in the library of Chang'an University."
"What kind of mine is Orapa?"
"Kimberlite mine."
"What is Kimberlite?"
"Almost one-fifth of the index mines of diamonds contain diamonds."
Hearing what Wei Qing, who had always been careful and steady, said, Liu Che's heart moved.
After the start of the school year, the School of Geology and Mineral Resources organized all the students who had completed the basic study in the third grade and above in the name of production practice. Liu Che found a mining machinery factory, rented equipment, and found dozens of workers with mining experience. Li Guang, Gongsun Ao and Gongsun He led the team to the front line.
After Li Guang knew the ins and outs of the matter, he was very dissatisfied. As soon as Liu Che finished the meeting, he complained loudly in the corridor,
"Secretary secretary, it's really sweet and sweet. After being a secretary, my sister is my secretary and my brother. It's enough for the secretary to be an office director. Is mining a joke? What's the matter? Chang'an University also went to see it, and Xiongnu University also went to see it, Those experts and professors can’t compare to a little driver and secretary?! Isn’t this a fool’s errand?” Although the teaching staff next to him were dissatisfied, they should not follow him and left in a hurry.
Many students from private universities come from very good families. They come to study with the idea of spending money to buy a diploma. After getting off the bus and seeing the environment, they quit. But they can’t go back. The equipment was dragged in, followed by temporary electricity connection, and Jian set up four tents, with 50 people in each tent, divided into two bunks on both sides, managed by Li Guang, Gongsun He, Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing respectively.
After coming for more than a week, Li Guang's complaints have not stopped, and many students have changed to his tent one after another. He couldn't help Gongsun Ao, so he went to Wei Qing. Wei Qing had no choice, and didn't want to conflict with him, so he did whatever he wanted.Once he found out that Wei Qing didn't do what he said, and he was furious at that time. Wei Qing was determined, and replied, "That's not what the book said..." He interrupted him and angrily reprimanded in front of the students. It's not like the state-owned mines I read before can't get out of the mouth.
"What are you? Ah?! Do you know how much you weigh? How crazy are you when you see undergraduates calling you a teacher?! You haven't stayed in school yet! Do you remember how you got here? If not Principal Liu said hello, can you get in? Think you have learned well? Are you proud of being the first in the exam every year?! Who knows if Principal Liu will give you a thorough examination of the questions? Do whatever you like! If something happens, don’t look for it. Me! I don’t care anymore!”
After that, he really didn't care about it, and the students in his tent didn't come out to work anymore.
Wei Qing was not discouraged, some students secretly said to him, "Mr. Wei, you are right, it is not written that way in the book."
Drilling in the morning and afternoon, discussions in the tent at noon and evening, the one-month internship period will soon be over, the teachers and students will return to school first, and the workers will stay behind. Li Guang also told the students along the way,
"Isn't this treating students as child labor? Isn't that what college students do? Don't be afraid, they dare not tell the principal, dare not offend the principal! I'll tell!"
The samples brought back were sent to the Provincial Research Institute for analysis. They were kimberlite, containing pyrope, large-grained olivine, orthopyroxene, large phlogopite crystals, etc., but did not contain diamond components.
Li Guang complained to Liu Che, and Liu Che asked the students to understand the situation.
The local government saw that the workers were still staying behind, so they called Liu Che and asked if they wanted to contract mining. Liu Che approached Han Anguo, the dean of the School of Geology and Mining, who strongly opposed it.
"Mines are things that can't be seen just by looking at the pictures, especially diamonds. According to the pictures, the Soviet Union searched for more than ten years in Siberia before finding them. It was still the power of the whole country. Private schools like Han University don't have this at all. Including financial resources, manpower, and the cost of artificial machines, the current situation of Han University can last for a year and a half. Even if it is found, what should I do if the gem level is low? And if you bring students, the safety of students is also a big problem! If it is a student I really bumped into the mine, how do I explain it?"
Later, Liu Che said very literaryly in his memoirs that before that, he had never lived the life he wanted. At that time, there was a voice in his heart asking—to be or to be destroyed. He would rather be destroyed than continue to live like this go down.
Liu Che's grandma, Dou Yifang, is in the advanced stage of diabetes, and her complications are very serious, and she is close to blindness. Liu Che has a certain degree of autonomy. He asked his accountant Sang Hongyang and auditor Zhang Tang to calculate the cost. After checking the books, I decided to do it!
Seeing that Liu Che didn't reply, the local government called twice a day to ask questions. Liu Che took the opportunity to lower the price several times, and agreed to sign the contract first, and pay the contract money after the school started.The other party immediately sent relevant personnel to Han University by train to sign the contract. At that time, there was a saying that "persist in reform and opening up for 100 years without wavering", so the contract mining contract signed by Han University was also for 100 years.
Han University originally planned to start construction on two buildings, one is the student dormitory and the other is the administrative building.
Liu Che's grandfather Liu Heng and father Liu Qi are both frugal and stingy people. The current administrative building of Han University was opened when Liu Henggang became the principal, and it was remodeled from the former student dormitory of Qinchu College. Small, door to door, it is said that after many years of use, you can still see the imprint of the dormitory bed on the wall.
Because no one knows how old this administrative building, which was formerly a student dormitory, is, and the creepers all over the exterior walls and the damp and dark corridors are very infiltrating, so there are many horror stories about it, such as the toilet on the second floor Hanged people, the original 414 dormitory has a couple who died in love and are still wandering nearby...
The heating pipes are also aging. In many offices, the heating is not hot in winter, and the toilets on the higher floors can't draw water well... The faculty and staff have great opinions, so Tian Fu, who is in charge of infrastructure, has applied for it earlier, and Liu Che has approved it. In the first approval, Wang Zhi finished the approval of Dou Yi's room, and there are still N more suggestions for simplifying and saving money.
Student apartments must be built, otherwise freshmen will have no place to live in the coming year.The administrative building can wait for a while, the money to build the administrative building is just enough to contract the mine.
Liu Che's uncle Tian Fu was very dissatisfied with this.
Liu Che held a mobilization meeting with the School of Geology and Mining and the Student Office, and organized teachers and students to start mining.
Han Anguo has the dean's work to do, so he can't go; Li Guang is [-]% dissatisfied with this project, he is unwilling to go, and says that none of his students will go; Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing must go, but Gongsun He unexpectedly I am also very interested in the project, and decided to bring my students to participate in the project. Depending on the work arrangement, it may not be necessary to stay for a long time. Some young teachers also expressed their willingness to participate in the project.
Thinking that the School of Geology and Mineral Resources still had first and second grades to attend and needed teachers, Liu Che agreed to this plan.The project leader is Gongsun Ao, and Wei Qing is the assistant.
After the mobilization of the student office, the number of students who were willing to participate in the project was counted, and it was better than expected, reaching three quarters. Liu Che was very satisfied, and asked Gongsun Hong not to force the students too much.The students who participated in the project were given a week off to prepare the items they needed to bring. In addition, they contacted their parents to sign the "Parents' Informed Consent Form". After that, they participated in three days of safety education as a group. Go to the mining area.
The project known as "Kimberlite Mine No. 001" officially started.
10-year-old Wei Qubing graduated from the fourth grade and was admitted to the junior class of the High School Affiliated to Han University.
This education method, which was later controversial, was extremely cruel from the beginning of the recruitment.
First, 60 experimental class students were selected from thousands of registered candidates through a written test. The test subjects were Chinese and mathematics.The experimental class has a total of 30 days, with no rest day in between. The learning content is Chinese, mathematics, and foreign languages. Each class is 90 minutes long. There are four classes a day. The first three classes are taught, and the last class is Q&A and exams.From the first day, one person will be eliminated every day, and it will be announced when school is over. After 30 days, the remaining 30 people were officially admitted as students in the junior class, and started a new journey, completing the remaining elementary school, junior high school, and high school courses in four years.
Wei Zifu did not quite agree with Wei Qubing's application for the exam. After all, the child is too young and the pressure is too great, but Liu Che expressed his support. Wei Zifu wanted to call Wei Qing, but he couldn't get in touch at all. He waited for more than a week. When Wei Weiqing called her, the results of the experimental class were all down, and Wei Qubing, Cao Xiang and Zhao Ponu all passed the exam.Wei Qing knew that Wei Qubing was taking the junior class, and felt very distressed. He repeatedly said not to be too tired, not to be too reluctant. Wei Qubing repeatedly emphasized that don't worry, trust my strength.Liu Che looked at his unscrupulous little appearance, and liked it very much.
At the stage of the experimental class, Zhao Puonu was eliminated on the third day. Mathematics is about solid geometry, tetrahedron, hexahedron, sphere, cylinder, various connections, various cutting, and various twists and turns; Chinese is very characteristic of Han University , talking about Chinese Fu with extremely sharp teeth; for the sake of fairness, the foreign language teacher specially hired speaks Spanish, and the exam will be taken as soon as the lecture is finished.... Zhao Puonu's mother took her son to eat for a few days. Chang'an is the best The restaurant, to shock the silly son.
Cao Xiang persisted until No. 15 days. He tenaciously previewed and reviewed every day until late at night. The desk lamp in the room was comparable to the lights in Zhongnanhai. Just ask Wei Qubing.Cao Xiang was stunned when she opened the test paper on the 15th day - your sister!Didn't you just learn it?It's all about permutations and probabilities!Putting a ball on this tetrahedron is a magic horse?Where did this sentence come from?I remember I will! ——When Liu Pingyang went to pick up his son after school that day, he saw his son carrying his schoolbag and burying his head in despair following Wei Qubing. When he left the school gate, he was about to ask when his son threw himself into his arms. Woo cried.
Wei Qubing persisted till the end, Wei Qing was very distressed, this kind of distress overwhelmed his joy and pride.
Wei Qubing has always remembered clearly why he went against the wishes of his uncle and third aunt to go to the youth class at that time - he began to understand from the first day of school when he was six years old that he had to go to school, Wei Qing had to go to work, and they to separate.
He didn't like this and wanted it to end quickly.
Sometimes he himself is surprised by his precocity.
Liu Che took advantage of the meeting that autumn to take Han Yan to the mine to see Wei Qing.
The two got off the train, searched for a long time but found no car, and were about to find a place to stay. Only then did they see two motorcycle drivers who looked like saviors at the entrance of the hotel, and immediately negotiated a price and offered the travel expenses.The road conditions were very bumpy, Han Yan screamed again and again, the motorcycle drove for a while and threw the two people on the side of the road, Han Yan kept yelling that it hadn't arrived yet, the motorcycle driver ignored it, pointed in the direction, and said that there was no road ahead Turn around and leave.
Han Yan kept muttering that he shouldn't give the money first, Liu Che looked in the direction the man pointed, saw a big machine and a tent, teased Han Yan and walked over.The barren place is like this. Looking at the distance, the two of them still have the mood at the beginning. You carry me ten steps, and I carry you five steps. Gradually, you lose that thought. The sun above your head and the road under your feet are scorching. Han Yan yelled while drinking water that this is not a place for people to come, and she will never come again next time. This is the first time Liu Che has suffered such a crime. He was so tired that he groaned and walked for almost two hours. After finishing the drink, Han Yan didn't bother to walk there, and got into the nearest tent as soon as he arrived.
Liu Che followed in. The tent was like a steamer, hotter than outside.Looking left and right, there are two rows of big shops, with several stoves in the middle, a black painted wooden board propped up by the door, with something written in circles on it, the two of them found a clean shop to sit on, There was no one in the tent, and it was almost time to rest. Liu Che looked at his watch, and just thinking that it was almost time for dinner, he heard the voices of a few female students chattering, and came in with a sway of the door curtain.
Several people were startled when they saw the two of them. A student who knew Liu Che hurriedly said, Hello, Principal Liu! Principal Liu is here, and I will call Teacher Wei.Said and ran away.Several other students also said hello to the principal, and started cooking inside and out, regardless of other things.
Han Yan was so thirsty, she took a water glass and asked a female student to pour water for him. The female student went to the corner and took out a black water bottle, poured him half a glass, saw that Liu Che also took a glass, and poured it for Liu Che again. Drank half a glass.Liu Che was also thirsty, didn't look at it, drank it all, and just wanted to ask for more, Han Yan raised her transparent water glass and yelled at the female student,
"What are you pouring for me? Is it water that is so muddy for people to drink? What about feeding animals? Water for washing vegetables and pots? Why is it so muddy? It's not as clean as the water for flushing the toilet!" After going out, I kept muttering, "Hurry up and bring me some clean water, my water glass is dirty, how can I drink water in the future?"
The female student was so angry that she couldn't speak. A student next to her who was busy cutting cabbage was not happy about it. The students of Han University were not afraid of the teacher at all, so they shouted at Han Yan at that time,
"Would you like to drink or not? Don't drink it all day if you can! Do you know how many people drink this pot of water? How much is a person? Why are you so coquettish, a big man? We little girls can drink it, What can't you drink? Like to drink or not! No one will give him water for a while."
When Liu Che looked at the glass of water, his stomach was overwhelmed and he couldn't speak.
Wei Qing heard the students say that Liu Che was here, and then he saw that it was almost time for dinner, so he closed the team and asked everyone to go back to eat. Gongsun He and Gongsun Ao hurriedly followed the student to the tent. Seeing them coming in, Liu Che suppressed his nausea and said,
"It's okay, come out for a meeting, just have a chance to take a look."
Gongsun He hurriedly reported the situation, "This pit has to be dug again to get out of the mine. Let alone more than a week. I discussed it with Xiao Wei and Lao Ao, so I won't take it back to Chang'an for testing. It takes time and effort to go back and forth. Costly."
Liu Che nodded in agreement, Gongsun Ao saw that his face was not good, and kept nagging him to rest, Liu Che looked at a few people and said, they are not particularly tired, everyone has worked hard, and it's time to eat quickly.
Wei Qing came back at lunch time, the dish was stewed cabbage and potatoes, without any oil stars, because it was cooked by students, the cabbage and potatoes were big and small, thick and thin, some were raw and some were cooked, Han Yan didn’t dare to see so many people Too presumptuous, so I whispered to Liu Che,
"It's not cooked yet, how can I eat it?"
Liu Che deliberately teased him, "This is still made with water that is dirtier than the water just now."
Because Han Yan didn't drink water, she just drank a lot of soup and couldn't spit it out. The nausea was so unbearable that she pushed the bowl away and stopped eating.
After dinner, Gongsun Ao, Wei Qing, and Gongsun He took a few young teachers and graduate students together to gesticulate and draw on the blackboard for a long time, turning over the drawings and counting, while the students rested aside.
In the afternoon, Liu Che insisted on going to see the mine. Han Yan said that he had suffered from heat stroke, so he picked a clean place and laid down the plastic sheet he brought. Liu Che threatened him that the tent was not ventilated. It was really heat stroke in the afternoon, and he didn't get up.
Liu Che followed to the mine, but couldn't understand it. There were several big holes next to them, which were very deep. He knew that there were no diamonds.He looked back and forth at the student workers, consoled each of them, and expressed respect. Gongsun Ao saw that he was shaking from the heat, and kept persuading him to go back and find a shady place to rest. Liu Che was too hot, too. I returned to the tent at three o'clock, and I didn't feel disgusted once I entered the tent. I poured a glass of water from the black teapot and drank it all in one go.
Han Yan was still lying there, Liu Che touched him and saw that he was looking at him with his eyes open,
"I might really have a heat stroke. The water is so disgusting, why are you still drinking it?"
Liu Che kissed him, "I'm telling you, this tent is like a steamer during the day, it's not ventilated, so it's strange if you don't have heatstroke, let me see if it's steamed?" He began to touch it.
Han Yanjiao hid with a smile, "Little pig, don't make trouble, let's hurry back before dawn, where is this place where people stay? I can't bear this crime."
Liu Che pressed him and touched, "I asked just now, there is no car on the way out, even on the road, the two of us, it takes three hours to walk to the county seat, are you not tired?" He kissed his ear again. "Besides, I'm the headmaster. I can't leave when I first arrived. I have to endure it all night. I'll leave tomorrow."
Han Yan was still not happy, so Liu Che teased him, "You are in a hurry to go back to the hotel because you don't want that? Why don't we come now?"
Han Yan was ashamed and angry, "What kind of place is this? It's like a livestock pen. Don't you think it's disgusting?"
The two were chattering and fighting, when suddenly there was chaos outside, and a girl's sharp scream came over.
Liu Che ran out in three steps and two steps, Han Yan straightened her clothes and followed.
In the mine that was being opened, the cable broke halfway up the lift.
The students were all terrified. When Liu Che arrived, he saw Gongsun Ao and Gongsun He comforting the students. There was no Wei Qing alone. A few students were standing by the pit and crying,
"Teacher Wei is still below! Teacher Wei is still below! Teacher Wei asked us to go up first, and I am still below!"
The students shouted anxiously after hearing this,
"Teacher Wei is down there! Teacher Wei!"
Liu Che was flustered unspeakably, and it didn’t work to see such a mess. He asked Gongsun Ao and Gongsun He about the situation. It turned out that when he went down the well in the afternoon, he felt that the elevator was shaking a little. It was decided to Masui immediately, and the students left first.The students were afraid and did not dare to go up the elevator, so Gongsun Ao took the first batch of students up the well, and Gongsun He was on it at the time, knowing the situation, he quickly helped to comfort the students, so that three batches of students went up one after another, and finally the cable broke. When it was over, there were only Wei Qing and a few young teachers left in the well.After counting the number of people, I asked again. In the past few days, people from the equipment manufacturer happened to come for maintenance, and there was another manufacturer's maintenance personnel below. There were exactly ten people underground.
Liu Che silenced everyone, and several people gathered around to discuss, because there was a problem with the equipment, and the people from the manufacturer also cooperated very actively.
First, let a few students with loud voices shout down the well, look at the situation below, and there is a response, although it is not very clear, but from the few words heard and the tone of the answer, it should be that no one is serious.Liu Che breathed a sigh of relief, and the people from the equipment manufacturer hurriedly said,
"Someone is fine. There is an engineer below who can run down the cable. He has maintenance tools on his body. Let him change the cable and start the machine to go up the well."
So everyone rushed down the cable together, and Han Yan also helped to run back and forth, and it went down to the end. They felt someone pulling from below, and everyone's hearts finally fell to the ground.After another half an hour, someone pulled the rope again from below, and everyone pulled the cable upwards together, but it couldn't be pulled, so it was definitely tied.The maintenance unit immediately connected the motor to prepare the well, but it couldn't be opened no matter what.
Liu Che became angry and yelled at several people from the equipment manufacturer,
"What the hell is going on with this thing?! Can it be used?! With your broken machine, who will use it in the future?!"
The people from the factory knew that he was the principal, so they hurriedly laughed with him, saying that the voltage was unstable. Gongsun Ao and Gongsun He also persuaded him, saying that the voltage here was unstable, so they could think of other ways.
Liu Che couldn't bear the anxiety, flustered, rubbing his hands and walking back and forth for a long time,
"Is there any student who can run fast, go to the county seat quickly, find someone or call, and apply for equipment to rescue."
"Principal, let's not talk about the time it takes to go back and forth. The road is like this now. The rescue equipment can't get in at all. After the rescue equipment is dismantled and dragged in, and then installed and debugged, even if there is no landslide, the people below will freeze to death."
Liu Che's eyes were red with anxiety, what if Wei Qing died?What if Wei Qing really froze to death?Roaring anxiously,
"Hurry up and find a way! Hurry up and find a way for me!"
A girl was crying, and Gongsun Ao was so anxious that he shed tears.
When I had no other choice, I don’t know which student shouted,
"It's all connected, everyone pull Teacher Wei up together!"
The students ran to grab the cable and shouted,
"Yes! Everyone pull Teacher Wei up!"
"I'll come to Teacher Lawei too."
"And me, Teacher Lawei."
"Mr. Lawei, come up."
……
A few students with loud voices shouted at the mouth of the well, "Teacher Wei, let's pull you up together!"
Liu Che also went to pull it, and Han Yan also went to pull it, and finally pulled the elevator up, and the students ran to surround it with joy, without Teacher Wei,
"Just now we had a discussion below, and the people from the manufacturer also said that there are too many people and I'm afraid they won't be able to handle it, so three people come up at a time."
Everyone hurried back and continued to pull, until the third time Masui Weiqing came up, everyone surrounded him, the students were crying, Liu Che was also crying, Han Yan kept wiping his tears.
Wei Qing saw the students crying, and saw Liu Che crying with tears in his eyes, comforting everyone with a smile,
"Are you terrified? It's okay, it's okay, it's all over, isn't it coming up? Don't cry, there is another person down here."
Then everyone ran back and shouted,
"Teacher Wei is coming up, and there is another person, pull him up."
"Teacher Wei is here."
"Great! Teacher Wei is here."
……
The last Masui's factory maintenance personnel is called Su Jian.
Liu Che felt that Su Jian was very capable and could make Wei Qing ascend the well before himself.
After tossing for so long, I can't go back to the county even if I want to go back.Dinner was still cabbage and potatoes, both half-cooked and not oily. After the meal, the teacher discussed with the students. After the discussion, Gongsun Ao came over and picked two clean places for Liu Che and Han Yan.
Neither of them could sleep at night, snoring and dreaming, there was no water to wash their faces and feet, there were so many people, it was full of sweat, and the tent was like a steamer during the day, but it was terribly cold at night.Gongsun Ao arranged a good place for the two of them, there was a stove next to the airtight, Han Yan looked at the door curtain that was blown back and forth, and thought how cold it would be if he slept at the door, turned around to see that Liu Che was not asleep, and whispered He whispered in his ear,
"I have to go back to the county seat tomorrow, I can't stay anymore, is this a place where people live? This bed is too disgusting, and it smells like this, how disgusting. Are you listening? Come back tomorrow morning County town!"
Liu Che didn't move, his hands were blistered, and he had experienced something he hadn't experienced today.
Liu Che used part of the money to build the dormitory building to improve the living environment and food for the mine.Liu's family surrounded him in the office and scolded him. His uncle said he wanted to find Wei Qing and beat him to death. Liu Che said you should go find him.Wang Zhi called him a rebellious son, Chen Ajiao threw things at home every day, and her aunt also made trouble with him many times.
He hid at Wei Zifu's place. Fortunately, his sister still supported him. Several relatives of Liu's family went to see Dou Yifang who was seriously ill, saying that Han University would not be able to keep at this rate and wanted to change the principal, but Dou Yifang said,
"The matter has come to this point, it's useless to change the headmaster, just do your best and obey the destiny."
Later Wei Qing asked Liu Che if he was afraid at the time, and Liu Che said,
"At first I wanted to take a gamble. Although I thought I could get something out, I was also worried about what to do if I couldn't get diamonds, and what to do when Han University was over. Later, I went to see you and pulled you up with the students. At that time, I suddenly felt that even if It doesn’t matter if you don’t produce anything, if you have this energy, Han University will not be able to finish.”
The weather in the mining area was cold early, and the students and workers retreated one after another after October [-]st.Wei Qing was used to being meticulous and meticulous, and he was worried about putting machinery and equipment and items that everyone hadn't taken away in the warehouses of residents in the county town, so he asked several relevant local departments to coordinate to a manned factory warehouse, and hired people to carry and tidy them up. By the time we finished our work and went back, the first snow was already falling in Chang'an.
Because of the snow that day, the youth class canceled the evening class, and went to school with the attached middle school and the attached primary school. Wei Qubing and Cao Xiang took Liu Weichang, a first-grade student, as soon as they walked to the school gate, they saw their uncle waiting for them. , there is a faint yellow light, the uncle is standing inside, and the uncle has lost weight.Wei Qubing frantically ran over to hug his uncle, buried his head in his stomach.
Wei Qing hugged him tightly, and took a while to pull him up to look at him. Wei Qubing rubbed his heart with eyes full of grievances and joy.
Liu Weichang and Cao Xiang also ran over,
"Hello, Uncle Wei!"
"Uncle, are you back!?"
Wei Qing pulled Chief Wei into a hug again, and patted Cao Xiang's head. Chief Wei watched Wei Qubing hold his uncle tightly, and said,
"Brother Qubing is a bad person! When you see uncle, ignore me!" Hearing that Wei Qubing said that he would go home with Wei Qing instead of going to his own house, he was so anxious that he was about to cry, "No, no! Brother Qubing promised me I went home with me! Brother Qubing sent me home!" Cao Xiang quickly went up to persuade him, Liu Weichang pushed and hit him, but in the end he couldn't push him, brother Qubing didn't even look at him, so he cried and went back to Brother Cao Xiang Weeping and shouting to Wei Qubing, "Uncle won't recognize my family when he comes back, and don't come to my house after uncle leaves!"
Wei Qing was so distressed that he hugged Qubing for a while, and then took him by the hand to go home.
"Is Qubing cold?"
"It's not cold. Uncle, your hands are so cold, why are uncle's hands broken?"
"Uncle's hands are freezing. In winter, you have to listen to your third aunt. Dress warmly and wear gloves, otherwise you won't get cold."
"Understood. Aunt San said, it won't be easy to get well after freezing."
"Are you tired from studying?"
"is acceptable."
"What would Qubing want to eat?"
"Boil lamb."
The two bought mutton slices, cabbage, frozen tofu, vermicelli, mahjong, leek flowers... and bought three catties of eggs at the vegetable market. No one lived in the house for a long time, so I don't know if the things in the refrigerator can still be eaten.
When they went back to wash the vegetables and put them in the hot pot, Wei Qubing told him not to let Wei Qing do it. He said that Wei Qing’s hand was broken, so don’t touch the water. Fortunately, the hot pot is relatively simple. The dishes were ready in a while, and the two of them were really hungry, so they ate everything.
Wei Qubing finished his meal, washed the pots and chopsticks, and then came back to do his homework. Wei Qing stayed with him and saw that he was doing almost everything right.
The next morning, Wei Qubing got up early and said he wanted to make breakfast for his uncle, but Wei Qing couldn't help it. The rice was fresh porridge and the bread bought yesterday, and the dishes were fried eggs and shredded potatoes. Wei Qing watched him slowly. Slowly cutting potatoes, his movements are stiff and his expression is focused, the shreds of potatoes are quite thin,
"When did Qu Bing learn to cook?"
"It's so simple, just watch Auntie do it a few times and you'll be fine."
"Are you cooking at the third aunt's house?"
"Why should I do it for them? Uncle's hand is broken, Qubing only makes it for uncle."
Wei Qing instantly felt a sense of relief that my family has a child who has just grown up.
Wei Qing was on vacation after finishing the two exams, and Liu Che never visited him, but Gongsun Ao invited him to dinner many times, and he needed to satisfy his hunger.
Seeing that Wei Qing had chilblains on his hands and feet, Wei Zifu was very distressed. He went to the hospital to prescribe medicine, and found several folk remedies. When he had spare time, he knitted several pairs of cashmere gloves and socks with three or four strands of thread for Wei Qing to wear.
After Wei Qubing finished his exams, he went to class for two weeks before he had a holiday. The teachers of each subject left a lot of homework for the holidays.Wei Qing took Wei Qubing to the Chang'an City Library by bike every day. Wei Qing asked the administrator to help find all the relevant materials that he could find for transcription, and Wei Qubing did his homework beside him.Wei Qubing was quick at everything, and finished his homework in a week. Watching Wei Qing copy and draw,
"Uncle, can I help you draw?"
"Qubing is boring? Why don't you read a storybook? Do you want to go to Third Aunt's house to play with Cao Xiang and Chief Wei?"
"I'm not looking for them! Uncle let me draw, I can draw well, those foreign languages I don't know, I can't write well, I can draw those pictures well."
Wei Qing saw that he was also idle, so he asked him to draw, just like what the art teacher said, who is horizontal and vertical, the circle is very round, the proportions are correct, and the labels are carefully marked.
Wei Qing looked very happy and felt relieved from the bottom of his heart.
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the library closed early, Wei Qing took Wei Qubing to buy a box of apples and oranges, and rode to Zhang Qian's house.
Zhang Qian is Liu Che's high school classmate. It is said that he has studied in five countries and is proficient in eight foreign languages. Even his wife is a foreigner. The New Western Foreign Language School under his name is a listed transnational chain training and education giant. It not only teaches Chinese to learn foreign languages, He also ran a lot of schools in the Huns to teach the Huns
