"The performance on the farm has been pretty good these past few years! Are you still reading those books I gave you?"

Just sitting there, Wang Zhong gave Banggan an invisible pressure, which was the invisible aura brought by being in a high position for a long time.

When he was young, he didn't feel it, but as he grew older, every time he was in front of Wang Zhong, Bangge felt the pressure of the invisible substance more and more clearly, and he almost didn't dare to breathe: "I've been watching. "

"We must persist. The situation will not remain unchanged forever. For people like us who have no background and family background, if we want to get ahead, studying is the fastest and easiest way."

Bangge nodded. He had a deep understanding of this. He had read a lot, especially books on mechanical power, and Wang Zhong would give him tips from time to time. Although Bangge's talent was average, he had learned a lot. There are many things that Wang Zhong often pulls to the machinery factory and farm to practice.

When he actually went to the mountains and countryside and was assigned to a farm, his practical progress in operating and repairing farm machinery was far ahead of other educated youths. It is precisely because of this that Bangge was treated better on the farm than other educated youths. treatment.

Although he failed to go to college, the knowledge actually turned into his qualifications, bringing him great convenience and benefits.

It is precisely because of this that Bangge has never missed the professional books on mechanical power that Wang Zhong gave him in recent years.

Although he seems to have only a partial understanding of a lot of esoteric knowledge, and some are completely confused and have no idea why, he still insists on reading and learning. If he doesn't understand, he will save it, or write a letter, or save it for later. Ask Wang Zhong for advice when he returns to the city.

When I was not involved in this industry before, I simply thought that Wang Zhong was awesome. He improved ordinary agricultural machinery and became Dongfeng No. [-]. In the past two years, he led the launch of the more advanced Dongfeng No. [-]. But as Bangge gradually entered this industry, he Really understand the power of Wang Zhong.

Just like what Chen Shi said in the movie "The Master" about his apprentice Geng Liangchen to his wife, after he truly mastered kung fu, Geng Liangchen would only respect him as a god.

"Now that you're back, what are your plans next?"

Bangge said without a moment's hesitation: "I want to find a job first."

"My mother has been supporting the family all these years. Now that I have grown up, I want to help her share the burden." Bangge said sincerely.

Wang Zhong nodded slightly: "It's rare for you to have such filial piety, but now there are so many educated youths returning to the city, and there are even more people with family backgrounds. Everyone is vying for a slightly better job. It's not that easy for you to find a good job. easy."

Banggeng said with a smile: "I'm here to see my uncle!"

Good guy, this guy has been on the farm for several years and has learned a lot about the world.

"Do you remember the machine shop I took you to?"

"Of course I remember!" How could he not remember? It was precisely because of that trip to the machinery factory that Bangge became interested in machinery.

Wang Zhongdao: "The Dongfang No. [-] and Dongfang No. [-] launched by our factory are all in cooperation with machinery factories. Although the agricultural machinery project team has not yet developed the next phase of products, the improvement of Dongfang No. [-] also requires a lot of manpower. If you are interested, let me help you ask if you can go over and become an apprentice."

"Thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle!" Banggan smiled brightly and thanked Wang Zhong excitedly.

Wang Zhong said: "Okay, if you have nothing to do, go back first. It's not easy to come back, and spend more time with your mother and sisters!"

"Well! Then I'll go first!"

"Auntie, sister Xinyi, I'm leaving first!"

Qin Jingru, who was wearing an apron and holding a spatula, said hurriedly: "I made noodles with soybean paste. Let's go after dinner!"

"No, auntie, my mother and the others are still waiting for me to eat at home!" Banggeng waved her hand and rejected Qin Jingru's offer to stay.

After ten years of training by Wang Zhong, Qin Jingru’s cooking skills are now considered to be very good. They are not much worse than Silly Zhu, and there is never a shortage of ingredients at home for Qin Jingru to try. This is also the reason for Qin Jingru’s rapid progress in cooking. factor.

On the dinner table, there is a big bowl full of fragrant fried bean paste. Next to it is a small stainless steel basin filled with noodles soaked in cold water. In addition to fried soybean noodles, there is also a dish of stir-fried water spinach and a patted cucumber.

Because there is enough oil and water, and the meat oil is used, even the vegetarian dishes exude an attractive aroma.

But the family of three has long been accustomed to such meals.

But when Banggeng returned home, as soon as he entered the door, Jia Zhang excitedly stepped forward, grabbed Banggeng's hand and asked, "How's it going?"

"My uncle agreed!" Banggeng said with a smile.

"God bless, God bless!" Mrs. Jia Zhang immediately took a breath, stroking her chest and murmuring with her eyes closed.

"Grandma, if you want to thank me, I'd also like to thank my uncle!" Bang Gang never forgot to remind Mrs. Jia Zhang.

"Thank you!" Jia Zhang nodded and said, "Let your mother prepare some gifts for you later."

As soon as Jia Zhang finished speaking, Qin Huairu said angrily: "What gifts are you preparing? I don't have the spare money at home. If I really want to thank your uncle, I will buy it myself when you work and get paid!"

Bangge didn't think anything was wrong when he heard this. Instead, he nodded and said, "Mom is right. I'm not a child now. I can handle this gift issue myself, so don't bother Mom."

Mrs. Jia Zhang's face darkened and she glanced sideways at Qin Huairu. She said nothing. It had been ten years. Qin Huairu probably hadn't said a soft word to Mrs. Jia Zhang. She saw that Mrs. Jia Zhang's temples were all white. Her short, shoulder-length hair has already turned silvery white, and the wrinkles on her face have increased by an unknown amount. She looks more than ten years older.

Wang Zhong acted quickly and helped Bangge get the work done the next day. Of course, he was just a temporary worker, an apprentice, with no establishment and a pitiful salary.

Even so, at least it is a job and an opportunity. If Bangge performs well, he still has a chance to join the agricultural machinery project team, but if he performs poorly, he can only blame himself for his lack of luck.

Compared with the jobs arranged by the street such as sweeping streets and cleaning toilets, this temporary apprenticeship is much better.

Time flies, more than a month passes in a blink of an eye, and the time comes to the end of July.

That night, after the clouds and rain, Qin Jingru was lying on the bed with a big belly and a satisfied look on her face. She was sleeping soundly. Wang Zhong was sitting cross-legged on the Grand Master's chair with his upper body bare. With a specific rhythm, it seemed like a big dragon was waking up from its deep sleep with its breathing on the sinewy back.

The skin became hot, like a soldering iron, and white smoke rose from behind the head. This was caused by the high temperature burning the moist moisture in the air into steam.

This is the phenomenon of smoke in an empty room caused by practicing Qi to a high level.

The big dragon on the back is constantly rising and falling, as if it is coming to life, and the true energy in the body is like a torrential river, flowing continuously through the energy channels of the whole body.

As the zhenqi circulates faster and faster, Wang Zhong's skin becomes redder and redder, like a cooked prawn, his pupils change, and the white smoke is no longer limited to his back and top of his head. Wang Zhong's skin becomes redder and redder. Everyone was enveloped in white smoke.

I don't know how long it took, but a pair of eyes as bright as stars suddenly opened, emitting a shocking light and heat. Wang Zhong also raised his hand and took a sudden breath, then slowly lowered it and exhaled the turbid air in his chest.

Wang Zhong had just finished his work. Suddenly, there was a slight trembling sensation on the ground. Wang Zhong's five senses were so sharp. He saw a figure flashing in the dark room. Wang Zhong had already appeared beside the bed. He picked up the blanket and lifted his head in his pajamas. Qin Jingru wrapped up her belly, and the next moment she picked her up by the waist, and rushed out of the house in an instant.

Qin Jingru was awakened when she arrived outside the house.

"what happened?"

"There's an earthquake. Just stand here and don't move. I'll take Xin Yi out!" As soon as he finished speaking, before Qin Jingru could react, Wang Zhong had already rushed into the back room and was sleeping soundly on the kang. Wang Xinyi, who was still smiling, picked him up and ran out immediately, not forgetting to grab a quilt.

Interrupting Wang Xinyi's sweet dream, he woke him up, pulled the deck chair under the eaves to the middle of the yard, put a quilt on it, and let the mother and daughter lean against each other for the time being. Then Wang Zhong gathered his energy and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"earthquake!"

"Everyone, come out quickly!"

"..." I don't know how many people were awakened from their sleep by this sound like a lion's roar. The earthquake came hard and fast. The ground was shaking constantly, the houses were shaking, and the gravel and soil on the ground were shaken. It kept bouncing up and falling down, and the slightly loose tiles on the roof fell to the ground with a crackle.

With such a strong shock, everyone in the courtyard was awakened by Wang Zhong's greeting.

They shouted to each other and helped each other, and soon they all ran to the courtyard dressed in cool clothes.

Although Wang Zhong had already made preparations and reinforced his home when he repaired the kitchen and bathroom, he still stayed in the courtyard to be on the safe side.

"Third uncle, third aunt? Are everything okay?" Wang Zhong stepped forward to help Yan Fugui and his wife, who were still a little confused.

"It's okay, it's okay!" The old couple looked tense and uncertain, especially the third aunt, whose face was pale and she was sweating all over. She was obviously very frightened.

"It's okay, just sit down and take a breather!"

As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, Yan Fugui suddenly stood up and rushed into the room.

"His dad!" The third aunt who had just sat down struggled to get up and chase after her, but her body was weak and her feet were weak. She was so frightened that she had no strength at all, so she couldn't get up.

It was Wang Zhong who stretched out his hand to help the person up. As soon as the third aunt stood up, she ran into the house regardless. As soon as she ran to the door, she saw Yan Fugui holding the TV he just bought from the house. He trotted out.

"Dad, what are you doing!" The third aunt almost cried. She pulled Yan Fugui and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is the only valuable thing in the house, so I can't break it!"

As expected of Yan Laoxi, he wanted money rather than his life. He braved the earthquake and rushed into the house to save the TV. Fortunately, although the earthquake was strong, it did not collapse the house.

Although Wang Xinyi was young, he was not very scared. The reason why he leaned on the recliner and pressed closely against Qin Jingru was because Qin Jingru was so frightened that his face turned pale and she hugged Wang Xinyi tightly and refused to let go.

Wang Zhong squatted in front of the recliner, held the mother and daughter's hands, smiled and comforted them: "Okay, okay, it's okay. Don't be afraid, even if the house collapses, it won't hit us."

Just now, Wang Zhong was cleaning the fences covered with fruit vines at the door, tearing them down and throwing them into the corner to avoid hitting anyone.

"Dad, what's going on?" Wang Xinyi's big, dark and bright eyes were full of curiosity.

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "It's an earthquake. The earthquake was so strong. The source of the earthquake should not be far from us."

Although I knew where the earthquake occurred, I naturally couldn't say certain things. I had to pretend to be confused when I should.

"Is this an earthquake?"

Wang Xinyi looked around with great interest. The earthquake was still felt on the ground, and tiles fell here and there. Almost all the seven or eight families living in the front yard gathered in the yard, and subconsciously moved towards Wang Zhong's family. past.

Wang Zhong was telling his daughter about earthquakes: "The ancients called earthquakes earthquakes. The ancients were ignorant and did not understand science. They thought earthquakes were caused by the turning of dragon veins under the ground, so they were also called earth dragons turning.

But in fact, earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates.

Since the earth is endlessly rotating and revolving around the sun, the internal materials of the earth are also constantly differentiating. Therefore, the crust, or lithosphere, surrounding the surface of the earth is also constantly being formed. , evolution and movement, causing earthquakes..."

"So this is how the earthquake came about!" Wang Xinyi nodded thoughtfully, and everyone around him also nodded.

Suddenly, Wang Xinyi looked around and said, "Dad, it doesn't seem to be shaking anymore!"

Everyone also felt it carefully: "It is indeed not shaking anymore!"

"Don't worry, with such a strong earthquake, there will definitely be aftershocks!"

"Then let's sleep in the courtyard at night?" Wang Xinyi looked around at the neighbors and asked Wang Zhongdao.

"Everyone, listen to me. We don't know if there will be any aftershocks. For the sake of safety, I suggest that we don't go back to the house tonight. Moreover, things will change if we don't have enough protection after the earthquake. Let's take advantage of the earthquake to stop now and stay in the hospital. I'll put up a few sheds here, and I'll be hospitalized tonight."

"Chief Wang is right, we listen to Section Chief Wang!"

"Yes, with such a strong earthquake, there will definitely be aftershocks!"

All the neighbors talked about it.

Yan Fugui also said with deep approval: "What Wang Zhong said makes sense. For the sake of safety, let's build the earthquake shelter quickly."

Wang Zhong said again: "Women, old people and children are all staying in the courtyard. Don't run around. Men, hurry back home first. Those who have wood will bring out wood, and those who have tape will bring out tape. Let's put up the shed quickly. "

At this moment, everyone is like a headless fly. They lack a backbone like Wang Zhong. Except for Yan Fugui, all the neighbors are basically employees of the steel rolling mill. For Wang Zhong, who has made great contributions to the steel rolling mill, The technical section chief is naturally very familiar with it.

As soon as Wang Zhong spoke, everyone immediately started to move.

Wang Zhong also got into the back room and took out more than a dozen pieces of wood that he had saved in [-]. There was no shortage of nails or hammers. After a while, everyone moved the things into the courtyard.

"Are you going to build an earthquake shelter?" Silly Zhu ran out of the central courtyard and asked immediately when he saw everyone moving in so many pieces of wood.

"Section Chief Wang said the weather might change after the earthquake, so let's put up the shed!"

Silly Zhu said: "The first uncle said so too! He asked me to inform everyone, but it seems there is no need now!"

"By the way, everyone is out, right? No one is hurt, right?"

Wang Zhong asked: "We are all okay! Where is your middle court? Are everyone okay?"

Silly Zhu said: "Aunt Jia walked too fast when she went out and sprained her foot. Everyone else is fine."

Wang Zhong said: "That's good, go back and put up the shed first. If the weather changes, it will be too late!"

Silly Zhu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! I won't tell you anymore, I'll go back first!"

With that said, he hurried back to the middle courtyard.

Wang Zhong also immediately led seven or eight men to work. Wang Zhong was a fifth-level old carpenter. Although he was not a master, his carpentry skills were already superb.

While the men were busy working, the women did not watch. Except for those who were too old, too young, and pregnant like Qin Jingru, the other women also extended their hands to help.

Everyone worked together, and under the unified command of Wang Zhong, in more than an hour, a large earthquake shelter was erected in the middle of the yard, and it was also covered with transparent rainproof tape.

Everyone moved out their wooden bedding and quilts from their homes and threw themselves under the shed according to the designated areas. They just hugged their families and waited quietly for dawn.

Except for the children, almost none of the adults could sleep, and they had to stay up all night.

It was twilight, but the sky was extremely gloomy. Dark clouds covered the sky and blocked out the sun. Thunder light loomed in the thick clouds, and lightning flashed from time to time, lighting up the entire sky.

When the weather cooled down, it started to rain heavily.
