Era: 1979 From mountain man to richest man

Chapter 80 House repair, blueprints, someone blows up the mountain
Captain Qin Wanshan still has some power in his hands.

As the captain's son, Qin Tie knew clearly.

Although it is not corruption or anything like that, it is still very necessary to use this power to do Song Chaoyang a favor and establish a little love.

When Qin Tie came into contact with Song Chaoyang, he could clearly feel that Song Chaoyang was different from his peers.

Not only his ideas and way of thinking, but also his luck and his abilities made Qin Tie think that Song Chaoyang was extraordinary.

He didn't know what to think, but he always felt that Song Chaoyang's future achievements would definitely not be low.

And establishing a good relationship with Song Chaoyang is equivalent to investing in advance.

Although Qin Tie acted a little naive, no matter how naive he was, he was still influenced by his father Qin Wanshan.

Know what to do and what not to do.

At the moment, he thinks that establishing a good relationship with Song Chaoyang is the most important thing to do.

I believe that if I go back and discuss it with my father, he will probably agree.

……

After dinner, Song Chaoyang went to send Kong Yun and Cao Wei back.

It was getting dark now.

When they returned to the educated youth spot, Song Li and Jiang Xiaowei had already finished their trouble.

A few educated youths were cooking dinner at the door.

Most of their dinners were fish brought back from Liziqiao yesterday. Now everyone is showing off their skills and cooking fish in their own way.

However, the method is less eye-catching than Song Chaoyang's.

After Kong Yun opened the door, two puppies from the yard rushed over wagging their tails.

Probably because they smelled the meat of the three people, the two little guys' tails were wagging even harder than usual.

Kong Yun was now arranging a bowl of food for them, mixing the leftover noodles from lunch with small fish boiled in white water.

The two puppies wagged their tails and started eating.

Seeing the treatment of this bastard, Song Chaoyang shook his head.

This is too luxurious.

Only Kong Yun in Qingsong Bay was willing to feed noodles and fish.

Just when Song Chaoyang was about to leave, Cao Wei asked him:
"By the way, how many translations have you made for Song Chaoyang?"

Song Chaoyang turned back to look at Cao Wei and replied:

"I've been a little busy these days, but I estimate that a quarter of it is done. I'll go back and work harder later, and I'll be able to translate it all in a few days."

Cao Wei waved her hand and said:

"It's okay. There's no rush in this. Ensuring accuracy is the most important thing."

"I just wanted to ask about your progress."

Song Chaoyang nodded and said:

"Well, don't worry. Professor Qian checked it for me. It's fine."

Kong Yun, who was feeding the dog at this time, said:
"That's good. I'm really worried that you don't have enough money when you entertain us like this recently."

After Song Chaoyang heard this, he smiled and said:

"No, this is just a lot. I can't eat enough."

"Besides, I made 200 yuan when I went to town today."

"Don't worry about it, you guys."

Cao Wei took the conversation and said:

"The money you have will be used to repair the house and buy building materials. You should save some money."

"Although you can make money by translating, you can't translate all the time. You still have to read books, and English is not tested in the exam."

"You've earned enough money, so start studying as soon as possible."

"The most important thing is next year's college entrance examination."

Kong Yun nodded:

"It's just that I've eaten enough meat these days."

"If you still want to treat us to dinner, it's best if we are vegetarian."

"That won't cost much."

"..." Cao Wei was speechless. She was talking about the college entrance examination. This damn girl wanted to be treated to dinner.

Sure enough, she just wanted to find an opportunity to get together with Song Chaoyang.

After hearing what the two of them said, Song Chaoyang smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I know exactly what we're going to eat as a treat, and I'll also allocate time for the review."

Song Chaoyang remembered the general direction of next year's exam questions, and his review was very targeted.

Now that we are short of money, translation is relatively more important than review.

However, Cao Wei also cared about him and was afraid that he would miss his review because he was thinking about making money.

In the next few days, he planned to complete the translation at home.

Then I exchanged money and started buying building materials to build a new house.

The heavy rain that just fell made Song Chaoyang still a little frightened.

Even though he had prepared in advance, the house still felt like it was crumbling under the heavy rain.

Plus there's an uneasy neighbor next door.

Building a new house is also imperative.

As the saying goes... To live and work in peace and contentment, only when the place where you live is safe and stable can you be able to concentrate on the next thing you do.

Then Song Chaoyang left the educated youth spot and walked home.

While walking through the fields, I suddenly saw a bolt of lightning flashing across the horizon, followed by bursts of muffled thunder.

Soon the wind began to blow in the fields.

It is going to rain! ?
If it really rains, then it will rain.

Song Chaoyang quickly quickened his pace and headed home.

Before he got home, a gust of raindrops fell on Song Chaoyang's side.

Suddenly the whole field was filled with the sound of raindrops.

The rain in the mountains comes quickly and quickly. Since the last rain, the climate seems to have returned to normal.

Like previous summers, thunderstorms like this often occur unexpectedly in the mountains at night.

Song Chaoyang walked into the bamboo forest in front of his yard and felt the raindrops on his body became lighter.

Just when I was about to go home, I found that my father, mother, second brother, and Professor Qian were all busy in the yard.

They covered the makeshift pig pen with wooden boards from their home.

The little piglet was just born today. If it rains too much, it will probably freeze to death.

When in the mountains, the wild boar will find natural caves to take shelter, but here it cannot move and can only be soaked by the heavy rain.

It's okay for the female wild boar to have rough skin and thick flesh, but the young wild boar will definitely not be able to bear it.

Even though it is summer, the temperature drops very quickly when it rains in the mountains.

If the wind blows again, it will quickly take away the heat from the body.

Just after being exposed to the rain for a while, Song Chaoyang felt the cold air penetrate into his body.

He is still an adult, let alone a little wild boar that has just been born.

If you don't care, I'll look at it tomorrow morning.

Twelve piglets, make sure not one of them dies.

When Song Chaoyang saw this scene, he also rushed to help.

After covering it with wooden boards, some thatch was put on top.

Then stones were moved to suppress the thatch.

Basically it won't rain anymore.

Then a drainage channel was dug next to the pigsty to prevent rainwater from entering.

Six adults were busy, and the little girl was helping to hold the lamp for lighting.

By the time everyone finished the work, it took more than 20 minutes.

At this time, there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and the rain became heavier.

Those who were wearing bamboo hats and raincoats were lucky, but Song Chaoyang didn't bring anything and was soaked to the skin.

I felt fine while working, but as soon as I stopped and returned to the door, I was trembling with cold even before I entered the house.

Seeing him like this, the second brother hurriedly asked him to change his clothes.

After changing clothes, Dad and the others were still cleaning things in the gutters outside.

The bad thing about this place being close to the mountain is that things can wash down when it rains.

By the time they finished cleaning up, it was raining harder outside.

The sound of heavy rain echoed in the valley. Some places on the roof began to leak again.

After skillfully taking the bucket and placing it in the corresponding position, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After sitting for a while, I went to get two more drying cages, put charcoal fire inside, and put the two drying cages into the temporary pigsty.

She was also afraid that the temperature would drop too low and the piglets would freeze to death.

After doing this, the whole family boiled hot water and washed up.

Listening to the roar of the heavy rain outside and feeling the moist rain and mist seeping in from the cracks in the wall, Song Chaoyang thought about what it would be like if it rained all night.

There are probably many more waterfalls in the mountains.

There might even be a lot of fish coming out of the underground river on the other side of Liziqiao.

But what puzzled him was that there seemed to be no sound from the next door.

Logically speaking, it was raining heavily at this time. Shouldn't Mrs. Jia be yelling at her?

You know, it seems they haven't finished the roof yet.

It's raining heavily outside, and it should be raining lightly inside their house.

Did you change your temper today?
With this doubt, Song Chaoyang asked his father and mother.

It turned out that the county's projection team came down and was showing a movie in the commune. Except for the third aunt and her family, everyone else in the group went to the commune to watch the movie.

Only then did Song Chaoyang understand.

No wonder there was no sound, it turned out that he was not at home.

There are no entertainment facilities these days, so showing movies is a big deal.

The county's projection team went to the countryside to show movies.

When people heard the news, many people were willing to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads to see it.

After reading it, take the night walk back.

But they were not very lucky today. It started raining heavily just after nightfall.

This time also happens to be when the movie starts.

It is estimated that a large group of people in the commune will be soaked in the rain.

They didn't bring rain gear with them, and they didn't have any change of clothes. They had to walk back in wet clothes after getting caught in the rain.

Song Chaoyang couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this scene.

At this time, his father Song Shouyi found Song Chaoyang and said he wanted to show him something.

Song Chaoyang was a little confused.

Dad looked mysterious and mysterious, as if he was something very important.

He was a little confused as a monk, but he still followed his father to their room.

Then I saw my father Song Shouyi taking out a picture he had drawn.

The layout of the new house is marked on it.

"I made this according to Feng Shui, look at it!" As he said that, he thrust the drawing into Song Chaoyang's hand.

Song Chaoyang took a look, and honestly speaking, the painting was pretty good.

Who lives in which room is clearly marked.

But there were still some things that Song Chaoyang couldn't understand.

For example, the place where the second brother lives is marked with "Zhengdong" and followed by "Zhengong".

"What does this palace position mean?" Song Chaoyang asked curiously.

Dad touched his nose and wanted to open up the conversation and say something, but in the end he changed his words and said:
"Oh, this is a bit complicated. Don't worry about it. Anyway, it's best for him to live in that location."

"Just see if this layout works?"

Song Chaoyang looked over it over and over. Although there were some incomprehensible logos in Dad's picture, the design was quite scientific.

It is probably an architectural layout that incorporates Feng Shui.

I didn't see anything wrong with it, so I didn't have to worry about the design.

So he nodded:

"I think it will work. When the time comes, we will build it according to this layout."

Just when Song Chaoyang wanted to ask his father what the palace position meant.

Sudden.

"Boom!" A sound came, and the whole ground shook.

Song Chaoyang and his father Song Shouyi were both shocked.

"The thunder is so fierce?" Song Chaoyang looked at his father with a puzzled expression.

Song Shouyi was more experienced than Song Chaoyang. He immediately shook his head and said:

"It doesn't look like thunder, but it looks like someone is setting off cannons to blow up the mountain!"

Only then did Song Chaoyang realize that the sound just now did not sound like thunder, but more like an explosion.

In recent years, when some villages needed to use bluestone, they would use detonators to blow up the mountains.

The movement was the same as now.

"But it's dark and it's raining heavily right now. Who is so free to set off cannons to blow up the mountains?" Song Chaoyang looked confused.

Others in the room also heard the noise, opened the door and looked outside.

It rained heavily in the dark night.

I can't see what's in the mountains.

You can vaguely smell the smell of gunpowder explosion in the air.

But it was soon covered up by the smell of earthy grass washed away by the heavy rain.

Who goes to the mountains to shoot off cannons just after nightfall when it rains heavily?

Song Chaoyang looked in the direction of the mountain with some confusion.

Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

I remembered the ancient tomb discovered in Yangjiagou in my previous foreboding dream.

Could it be that Yang Shuai and his gang took advantage of this moment to blow up the ancient tomb?

Last night's precognitive dream showed that the anonymous reporting letter I sent had been received by the police.

People have already been sent down to investigate.

The gang in Yangjiagou have done a lot of bad things recently, including robbing graves and shooting wild boars with guns. They shot people. They didn't report it, but were directly suppressed by the village cadres.

When the people above investigate, they will definitely find out these things.

Several arrests were designated.

Just when Song Chaoyang was thinking about this, another explosion came from the mountain.

Although this time it was not as big as the previous one, Song Chaoyang heard it very clearly.

It should be on the nearby mountain.

Still within the scope of Qingsong Bay.

After a while, the faint smell of gunpowder was smelled in the air again.

Is someone setting off cannons to blow up the mountains here in Qingsong Bay? !
Just when he felt confused, several flashlights lit up in the field, and then they all converged on the road.

There are very few people with flashlights in this village. Except for the educated youth, they are all the cadres in the brigade.

It was obvious that they also heard the explosion and came out from home to check the situation.

After a while, village cadres wearing hats and raincoats and holding flashlights walked into the yard of Song Chaoyang's house.

The people taking the lead were the old party secretary and team leader Qin Wanshan.

Qin Tie was also among them.

Seeing Song Chaoyang and his family standing under the eaves, the old party secretary asked them about the explosion just now.

It's just that it's raining so heavily and it's dark again.

Even if Song Chaoyang and the others live near the mountain, they don't know what is going on in the mountain.

I can only tell them that they could smell gunpowder in the air after the explosion just now.

Now it was basically confirmed that someone was indeed firing off cannons on the mountain.

Murakami's militia captain volunteered to take several militiamen up the mountain to check.

Of course, his plan was immediately rejected. Now that the situation is going up, who knows what will happen.

Finally, Qin Wanshan discussed with the old party secretary that after the rain stopped tomorrow, he would take the village militiamen up the mountain together to find out where the cannons were being fired.

Then several village cadres took a solemn look at the dark forest and headed back home one by one.

After they left, Song Chaoyang stopped guessing and lay down on the bed after washing himself.

Close your eyes and prepare to see if there are any clues in your dreams.
