Era: Starting from cave dwellings in northern Shaanxi

Chapter 130 Coal is really dug out!

As Zhao Fugui froze, the people next to him quickly noticed something strange about him, and instinctively looked towards the place where the miner's lamp focused the light, and then saw the 'dazzling' black.

"Coal...coal."

I don’t know who it was, but the first person couldn’t help it, pointed at the black color and shouted, tremblingly.

"Coal? Where is the coal?"

When the people behind heard it, they suddenly became anxious and pushed forward one after another.

Sun Qingbo, who was smaller, was the first to squeeze in next to Zhao Fugui, his eyes also fixed on the black color.

At this time, Zhao Fugui swung the crowbar again and pried open the surrounding gravel with all his strength, and then more and more black came into view.

"Coal is really coming out, we are really digging out coal."

Deep in the small mine, everyone was immersed in ecstasy at this moment.

Because of previous experiences, everyone did not doubt Sun Xiangyang's words this time, and they were determined that coal could be dug out. However, the exact depth at which coal could be dug out was unknown.

Especially with reference to the coal mines over Jinjiagou. Since the exploration team discovered that there are coal mines there but not here, it can only mean that the coal mines here are deeper.

But the shaft cannot be dug continuously. The key is to prop up the baffle and fix the passage, otherwise it may collapse while digging.

And you have to spend money to buy these baffles and pillars.

There are even tracks, carts, cables, and diesel generators. Which of these should not cost money?

So what everyone is worried about is not that coal cannot be dug out, but that they will run out of money halfway through.

Should we dig or not?

When that time comes, I'm afraid Shuangshuiwan and Shapingba will become the biggest joke.

But now, when that black streak appeared clearly in front of everyone, everyone understood that they had won.

Let’s see who dares to read Shuangshuiwan’s jokes in the future.

Put the coal directly on the opponent's head.

"Hurry and tell the old party secretary the good news."

Zhao Fugui picked up a piece of coal with his hand and even took a bite. After making sure it was not a dazzling eye or a black stone, he finally remembered something more important.

Everyone in Shuangshuiwan must know about digging out coal.

At the same time, Zhao Fugui finally breathed a sigh of relief and successfully dug out the coal before his captain returned.

When the captain comes back, we can give him a big surprise.

Following Zhao Fugui's words, several people immediately turned around and ran outside.

At this moment, no one could care about handover or even continue digging. After all, the coal has been dug out, so the next step is to dig coal, which will definitely be different from before.

At this moment, Sun Xiangyang and Zhang Jiadong had arrived in front of the mine. A few people squatting there were the first to spot the two of them, and immediately greeted them with cheers, and also alerted the old party secretary and Sha Hongcheng in the simple hut.

After all, it was hard for the two of them not to hear the sound of the captain coming back.

So the two of them ran out immediately.

"Old Party Secretary, Party Secretary Sha."

Sun Xiangyang greeted them one by one.

"Why did you come back so early? I thought it would take half a month for you to come back."

The old party secretary complained that Sun Xiangyang came back too early, but the smile on his face said everything.

"Isn't this because I'm homesick? Besides, I'm already busy with everything over there."

Sun Xiangyang explained.

"It's better to come back early. It's not as comfortable as living at home outside."

Sha Hongcheng nodded and said, with a smile on his face.

Everyone around them was also full of excitement. After all, Sun Xiangyang came back at this juncture, and everyone had a backbone again.

"By the way, where is your mother-in-law? Did she come back with you? And who is this?"

Then, the old party secretary asked quickly.

Especially Zhang Jiadong beside him made him full of curiosity.

I went to the capital, why was there an extra person?

"Shu Ting is going home first. This is Zhang Jiadong, Shuting's cousin-in-law. By the way, Secretary Sha, Zhang Jiadong is the grandson of Mr. Sha's junior brother. This time he came here with the intention of visiting Sha Pingba to see Mr. Sha."

Sun Xiangyang then helped Zhang Jiadong introduce him.

"My junior brother's grandson?"

"Hello, Senior Brother Sha."

Zhang Jiadong also greeted Sha Hongcheng.

On the way here, Sun Xiangyang told Zhang Jiadong the identity of Sha Hongcheng, so Zhang Jiadong directly called him senior brother.

At least in terms of seniority, there is no problem in calling him this.

"Senior Brother Sha?"

Sha Hongcheng glared at Zhang Jiadong, seeming a little dissatisfied with this title. After all, at his age, it was a bit uncomfortable to be called senior by Zhang Jiadong.

Although he calls Mr. Sha "young master" and his seniority is also that of a grandson, after all, he is not considered a disciple or grandson.

Therefore, Zhang Jiadong should be called uncle based on his age.

Of course, he can accept even calling him Big Brother.

But what the hell is Senior Brother Sha?

"Yes, my uncle just told me that since you are Grandpa Sha's grandson, I should call you senior brother."

Zhang Jiadong nodded seriously.

In fact, if you really think about it, he should call Mr. Sha Grandpa Shi, but after all, there is no entrance wall, so he always calls him Grandpa Sha.

They are all grandparents anyway.

But Zhang Jiadong likes to call him this way, especially Uncle Sun Xiangyang. From the beginning, he resisted a little, but now he calls him sweeter than anyone else.

"Wait, what is your name Xiangyang?"

Sha Hongcheng couldn't help but ask.

"Uncle Master, Uncle Master is Grandpa Sha's apprentice. According to the relationship, of course I have to call him Uncle Master."

Zhang Jiadong replied.

"So, you call me Uncle Xiangyang, and you call me Senior Brother?"

At this moment, the expression on Sha Hongcheng's face was as ugly as eating a fly.

He was obviously Sun Xiangyang's elder, but when it came to Zhang Jiadong's words, why did he suddenly become a junior?

If that's really the case, wouldn't he also have to be called Uncle Sun Xiangyang?

Pooh!

"No, let's talk about our own affairs. I'm not your disciple, so I can't be considered your senior brother."

Sha Hongcheng said firmly.

He didn't want to be shortened for no reason.

How could he still act like an elder in front of Sun Xiangyang in the future?

Hearing this, Zhang Jiadong couldn't help but look at Sun Xiangyang.

"Just follow the meaning of Sha Zhishu. You can also be called Sha Zhishu."

Sun Xiangyang didn't care about this.

"Okay, let's discuss your family's relationship when you get home. Xiangyang just came back and he hasn't had time to rest yet."

The old branch secretary couldn't help but interrupt.

But at this moment, there were faint sounds of chaos coming from the mine not far away, which immediately made everyone's hearts rise.

Something almost happened a few days ago. It won't happen again, right?

And it was just in time for Sun Xiangyang to come back.

"Old party secretary, don't worry, it's a good thing." Sun Xiangyang immediately comforted him.

Because his hearing was better, he could vaguely hear words like digging coal, and there was obviously joy in his voice, not an anxious tone like something had happened.

"Good thing?"

The old branch secretary was a little surprised.

But soon, someone ran out of the mine and shouted: "Coal has been dug out."

Now, everyone heard clearly.

The coal was dug out.

"Okay, okay, Xiangyang just came back, and coal was dug out here. It must be the good luck brought by Xiangyang. Otherwise, Xiangyang is the lucky star of Shuangshui Bay."

The old party secretary's voice trembled with excitement.

Otherwise, you will get whatever you ask for.

Following the old party secretary's words, everyone's eyes focused on Sun Xiangyang.

Then the more I thought about it, the more I realized this.

Suddenly, one after another, the experience points of worship and transformation were thrown at Sun Xiangyang.

"That's really true. Fortunately, Xiangyang came back early, otherwise we would really be unable to open the pot."

Sha Hongcheng also looked excited.

For this small coal mine, in order to erect this mine, Shapingba risked everything. The initial investment was larger than that of Shuangshuiwan. After all, it had a 20% share, and Shapingba helped Shuangshuiwan first.

Now it's all back.

As long as there is coal, it doesn't matter even if Shuangshuiwan and Shapingba run out of money. They don't even need to go to the commune for support. After all, this kind of support is not free.

You can go directly to the credit union. If you have dug coal, you don’t believe that the credit union will not give them a loan.

In this way, the problem of lack of money will undoubtedly be solved.

The rest is to dig out the coal continuously, transport it and sell it.

Just wait and live a good life from now on.

"Ah, the captain is back? Captain, we dug out coal."

The person who came out to report the news happened to be a member of Shuangshuiwan Production Team Three. He was originally planning to report the good news to the old party secretary and others, but unexpectedly he saw his own captain, and he immediately became even more excited.

"Okay, this is a great event. Old party secretary, do you want to kill another pig to celebrate?"

Sun Xiangyang was also very happy.

As soon as I came back, coal was dug out. How could I not be happy?

When he was happy, he couldn't help but want to share.

But just talking nonsense, how can sharing the pork directly make everyone happier?

"Kill, kill the pig immediately."

The old party secretary didn't care that there were very few pigs left in Shuangshuiwan. Even these pigs were preparing to be handed over to the commune, and they even had to set aside two pigs for the New Year.

Sun Xiangyang said to kill the pig, not to mention there was no more pig, even if there was none, he would borrow a pig and come back to kill it.

"Go to a few people, tell everyone the good news, and then drag out the pig and kill it!"

The old party secretary waved his hand proudly and immediately made arrangements.

"I go."

"I'll go as well."

Whether it was reporting a message or killing a pig, there were always people rushing to get there, and several people ran away with a bang.

Of course, they also have another purpose, which is to tell everyone that the third captain is back.

"Uncle Master, the coal has been dug out, should we go down and take a look?"

Zhang Jiadong couldn't help but asked.

"Okay, let's go down and have a look together."

Sun Xiangyang naturally agreed readily, and he also wanted to see what was going on below.

"Bring me some helmets and I'll go down and take a look."

Naturally, the old party secretary will not lag behind in this kind of matter.

Immediately someone came over carrying a few hard hats.

The helmets at this time are not plastic, or there are already plastic helmets, but Shuangshuiwan cannot afford to waste this money, so they still use rattan helmets with a pad inside. Lined with a layer of coarse cloth to make it more comfortable to wear on your head.

After putting on their safety helmets, everyone headed down the mine tunnel.

This passage goes down diagonally, with an inclination angle of almost thirty degrees. It is still a little steep going down.

However, in the words of Sha Hongcheng, although this 30-degree inclined mine passage is already a steep slope, in fact, some small coal mines have even more exaggerated slopes than this. The reason is that it can shorten the length of the mine and reduce the initial investment, and then it is restricted by the terrain.

After all, not all small coal mines are like Shuangshuiwan, where the shaft can be slanted directly down on the flat ground, and the angle can be freely chosen.

The main mine tunnel going down the shaft is not wide, only about 1.5 meters, and the height is about 2 meters. You can walk straight without bumping your head.

Two tracks are installed in the middle, which are used to run the mine carts. Sun Xiangyang just saw the mine carts on it. They are only sixty or seventy centimeters wide. A machine is used to roll the steel wire to pull the mine carts. Go up.

In this way, manpower can be greatly reduced.

Otherwise, we can only carry the coal out of the mine little by little, relying on manpower to carry a basket made of rattan, as in the past.

However, using this method, the mine passage is mainly a flat mine passage. Otherwise, even Zhao Fugui would not be able to carry this 30-degree slope many times a day.

On both sides of the passage, you can occasionally see wooden pillars supporting the overhead baffles. The reason why stronger steel pillars were not used was because of poverty and lack of money.

The baffle above the head can also prevent stones from falling, especially the passage just down the well. The top of the head is just some loess, so it needs to be propped up, otherwise it will collapse if it rains heavily one day. .

Only the tops, which look extremely solid at first glance, do not have baffles.

This is mainly related to the stratigraphic characteristics of the Loess Plateau.

At the same time, there is a dim light at some distance. Although it is not bright, it can at least illuminate the situation in the passage.

These lights represent yes electricity!

But it is electricity generated by a diesel generator. After all, even if the safety of the mine is not considered, the winch that pulls the mine car needs a motor to pull it.

And this diesel generator is undoubtedly a big spender.

It can be said that Shuangshuiwan and Shapingba really spent a lot of money on this small coal mine.

In the eyes of outsiders, even the people from Jinjiagou who came to guide me, it seemed a little unworthy.

After all, we haven’t yet determined whether there is coal underneath, so if we spend so much money on these equipment, if we really don’t dig out coal, we have no choice but to throw it away.

However, no matter Shuangshuiwan or Shapingba, everyone seems to be sure that coal can be dug out.

It is precisely because of this that people in the company and other production teams often say strange things. They feel that the old party secretary and Sha Hongcheng have gone crazy, and now they are waiting to see their jokes.

If the old party secretary and Sha Hongcheng had not been party secretaries for these years, and had high prestige in the production team, and the members on both sides had no objections, and no one went to the club to report the situation, the club might have intervened long ago and could not have left it alone. They're messing around.

But now, with the coal dug out, it will all fall into place.

Those who want to see a joke are destined to be disappointed.

Soon, a group of people came down the well.

That’s where the coal is actually dug.
