Chapter 294 Liu Dazheng's tricycle, medicinal materials base
Thanks to the powerful tractor and all the comrades at the agricultural machinery station who voluntarily worked overtime to catch up with the progress, three days later, all the grain in the fields was pulled to the threshing ground, waiting to be dried and handed over as public grain before being stored.
As soon as he heard that he could leave, the devastated Han Guoda got into the car in one second, started it in two seconds, and escaped in three seconds. He drove the clanging tractor like a rocket launching.
Liu Dazhu looked at the smoke-emitting tractor and shouted, "Captain Han, remember to come and play often!!"
Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da!
The tractor went faster.
Mingdai estimated that Han Guoda never wanted to come to Liujiawan again in his life.
After Huang's popularization, everyone knows about Gu Sinian's surname. But compared with this matter, everyone is more concerned about the fact that Gu Sinian is no longer crazy!
Therefore, during the two days after Mingdai Clinic reopened, a large crowd of people gathered at the door of the small clinic. However, there were only a few people who actually came to see a doctor, but a lot of people came to see Gu Sinian.
Gu Sinian still looked difficult to deal with, just like before, keeping strangers away. He only smiled with some warmth when facing Mingdai.
The only difference is that she no longer wears a red headscarf. She only wears a straw hat when she goes in and out, and never takes it off.
Ming Dai became famous in Hongqi Commune because of Gu Sinian's successful case, and many people went to Liujiawan specifically to see her for treatment.
A week later, Wei Yan, who had finished his work, came to Liujiawan with Bai Jingyi who was ready.
When they arrived, it was time to get off work at noon.
Looking at the villagers who were getting off work, no matter men or women, old or young, everyone had a colorful straw hat in their hands. The children and young wives even sewed all kinds of flowers on it, which formed a sharp contrast with their simple clothes.
It is quite pretty, but it looks a bit like a moving colorful mushroom.
Bai Jingyi, who was sitting in the car, liked it very much and asked Wei Yan beside her: "Is wearing a colorful straw hat a tradition here? Should we buy one to wear?"
Wei Yan thought about it and said, "No way, I didn't see him the last time I came here, did I?"
When the villagers saw the car, they immediately guessed that it was the mayor's uncle Gu Sinian who had arrived. They asked someone to notify the team leader and others while they surrounded him enthusiastically.
The infirmary was not open, so the villagers asked them to sit down and wait at the entrance of the brigade office.
When the villagers heard Bai Jingyi introduce herself as Gu Sinian's mother, the way they looked at her changed. Their enthusiasm diminished a lot, and they stepped aside to watch curiously. Few dared to come forward to talk to her.
She was a little curious and asked Wei Yan quietly.
Wei Yan touched his nose and didn't have the courage to tell her that these people were probably scared by the beating by your son, so they didn't dare to approach you.
Fortunately, after a while, Liu Dazhu came running over from the field, panting.
"Mayor Wei, you are here to take care of the educated youth. They are not in the infirmary today. They went to Da Zheng's house. I will ask someone to call them. You can sit down at the brigade headquarters first."
Liu Dazhu also wore a straw hat, but his was purple.
Wei Yan looked at his purple face reflected by the purple hat and didn't say anything for a long time. It was not until Bai Jingyi pulled him that he reacted.
"Captain Liu, there's no need to call them. Let's go over and take a look. This is Gu Sinian's mother, Bai Jingyi. She's here to see him too."
After saying that, he turned to Bai Jingyi and introduced her: "This is Comrade Liu Dazhu, the team leader of Liujiawan. He goes to the countryside here every year. I am grateful to the team leader and his family for taking care of him."
Bai Jingyi smiled and thanked: "Comrade Liu, thank you for taking care of me."
Liu Dazhu's eyes lit up. This is the mother of their Liujiawan baby!
As expected, the person who could give birth to such an outstanding educated youth like Gu must be an extraordinary good mother!
He waved his hands with a smile: "Of course, of course. Since they have come to our Liujiawan Village, they are our people. Isn't it my duty to take care of them?"
Liu Yan, who was watching the excitement from the side, curled her lips and said, "Don't say that to us."
Fang Rou looked at the woman in front of her. The more she looked, the more familiar she seemed. She felt as if she had seen her before.
Soon, the two of them, led by Liu Dazhu, went to Liu Dazheng's house.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard a cry: "My brother Si Nian!
Bai Jingyi's face turned pale immediately. Wei Yan supported her while Yao Yuliang and his men rushed over quickly.
After entering, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
At this moment, Liu Dazheng was sitting in a strange car, hugging Gu Sinian's thighs and crying loudly, calling Gu Sinian's name while crying. If you didn't know, you would think something happened to Gu Sinian!
Gu Sinian, who was standing, had his brows tightly furrowed as he pushed Liu Dazheng's head, trying to push him away, but he didn't dare to use too much force for fear of breaking his neck.
After pushing for a long time, he didn't let go and instead got his pants wet with tears.
Gu Sinian's face turned dark and he simply let go, letting him cry to his heart's content.
Mingdai looked at Gu Sinian with a sullen face and Liu Dazheng who was crying loudly, and laughed out loud.
She knew that Liu Dazheng would absolutely love his brother Si Nian to death after receiving this gift!
Wei Yan looked at the bustling courtyard and said with a smile: "Si Nian, what are you doing? Why is it so noisy?"
Hearing the voice, Liu Dazheng finally let go of his hand, looked at the group of people coming in, and wiped his face embarrassedly.
Gu Sinian immediately jumped out and stood far away, next to Mingdai, looking at his half-wet pants, wanting to cry but unable to.
"Mom, Uncle, I didn't do anything. I just made a car for Da Zheng and let him try it out."
Only then did Wei Yan and Bai Jingyi notice the strange car Liu Dazheng was sitting in.
"Can he ride this?"
Wei Yan knew Liu Dazheng's physical condition. How could he ride a bike with inconvenient legs and feet?
Gu Sinian nodded: "Is it okay? Mingdai's idea is to modify the pedals and put them on top, so Dazheng can ride the bike by rocking it with his hands."
After saying that, he gestured to Liu Dazheng, who shook the bike and started riding slowly.
“It’s moving!”
Everyone was shocked to see Liu Dazheng controlling the car in the yard. He was very agile and drove at a fast speed when encountering turns.
Liu Dazheng was so excited that he almost cried. He thought he would never have the chance to run freely in his life.
Unexpectedly, it was the educated youth Xiao Ming and the brothers Si Nian who helped him realize it with a car!
After he stopped, Wei Yan and Bai Jingyi walked around the car twice and soon discovered the principle of the car's modification.
Wei Yan even tried it himself and found it very easy to operate.
After coming down, Ming Dai came forward with a smile: "Uncle Wei, how do you feel?"
Wei Yan smiled and nodded: "Very good, very light, very practical for people with inconvenient legs."
Ming Dai smiled and nodded: "So, do you think the bicycle factories in Heilongjiang Province would be interested in this?"
Wei Yan looked at Ming Dai and motioned for her to continue.
Ming Dai pointed at the tricycle and said, "This car was completely modified by Gu Sinian from a discarded bicycle. Except for the crossbeam below, which was welded by someone from the agricultural machinery team, everything else was assembled by himself.
I know that in the daily production process of general bicycle factories, there will be some leftover parts and defective products. If they can be recycled and assembled into tricycles for the disabled, it should be considered as additional income, right? "
Wei Yan looked at the car and thought it was a good idea.
The bicycle factory has been making losses for many years. The bicycles it produces are not as popular as those from Shanghai, but production cannot be stopped, and the inventory has accumulated in the warehouse.
If it could be converted into a tricycle for the disabled, it could really fill some gaps.
He nodded at Mingdai: "Of course, you can, but the bicycle factory has been making losses for years, so it may not be able to give you much design fee."
Ming Dai shook her head nonchalantly: "I don't want money, I just want them to provide me with a batch of defective bicycles."
Wei Yan nodded: "That's fine. There are a lot of goods piled up in the warehouse. If your drawings are feasible, there will be no problem.
But what do you want a bike for?"
Ming Dai looked at the captain and Secretary Liu and said, "I plan to put these cars in the village and provide them for free."
Liu Dazhu's eyes widened in disbelief: "What? Free for the village?!"
Secretary Liu was very excited. You know, only the educated youth in the village had bicycles. None of the village cadres had one, let alone the villagers!
Ming Dai nodded: "But I have a condition, Captain. I want the villagers to help me grow medicinal herbs on the mountain. I will provide the seeds and the villagers will help me take care of them.
Anyone who helps me grow crops can use the bicycles for free.”
As early as when Mingdai planned to start a pharmaceutical factory, she had set her sights on Liujiawan.
If a pharmaceutical factory wants to start up, the first step is to have a stable supply of medicinal materials.
In this era when traditional Chinese medicine is declining, the inheritance of medical skills is almost cut off, not to mention the base of medicinal materials.
Mingdai plans to build her own medicinal materials base to solve the problem of medicinal materials supply from the source. In this way, she can seize the first wave of spring breeze when the policy is liberalized and build a pharmaceutical factory.
The reason why Mingdai chose Liujiawan was because of their past two years of getting along with each other. She felt that as long as the policies were liberalized, the captain and Secretary Liu would agree to cooperate with her in growing medicinal herbs.
But it is impossible to get the captain to agree to grow medicinal herbs in the fields now, and the higher-ups will not allow it.
So Mingdai settled for planting in the mountains. After four or five years, the policy was loosened and these medicinal materials could be put on the market. But when she mentioned cooperation again, she saw the benefits before her eyes, so there was basically no problem with the cooperation.
Providing free bicycles to the village is a disguised way of contracting the mountain land. Driven by interests, these people will not cause damage on the mountain out of jealousy.
Liu Dazhu agreed almost without hesitation. The villagers who heard it at the door were also discussing happily. If they could just help plant medicinal herbs and there were free bicycles available in the village, they would definitely agree!
Only Liu Yan was not very happy. Qi Zhijun had a bicycle and she had no shortage of bicycles. She was just simply unhappy that so many people listened to Ming Dai!
But she was afraid. The educated youth had just been warned by the team leader, so she didn't dare to be the first to speak out. She could only look at Mingdai who was smiling happily with reluctance.
Wei Yan smiled and nodded: "That's fine. As long as it doesn't occupy arable land, planting medicinal herbs on the mountain does not violate the policy. Let Si Nian find the medicinal herb seeds for you, give me the drawings, and I'll take care of the bicycle."
Mingdai smiled and nodded.
