The matter of going to school was agreed upon earlier.
Su Yuhe took Dandan to the school to ask, and since she was of the right age, she could go directly to the first grade.
It doesn’t cost much to go to elementary school, only 20 cents in tuition for one semester, plus the cost of textbooks.
The textbooks only include Chinese and math, and each costs ten cents.
No one disagrees with going to school. After all, it is not good to be illiterate without studying.
Dandan was quite looking forward to it: "Are Chunling and the others going too?"
Su Yuhe had heard Chunling from Dandan several times. She was a friend Dandan knew, but Su Yuhe had no impression of her family background.
Su Yuhe usually didn't talk about things she didn't know. She thought for a moment and said, "Then you have to ask them yourself."
"All right……"
Dandan really picked a lot of blueberries and prickly berries. Su Yuhe washed them and put them aside to drain the water, planning to use them to make jam later and make rice cakes tomorrow.
Jiang Lin also brought back a bag of wild fruits. Su Yuhe asked with a smile, "Going up the mountain again?"
Jiang Lin nodded. "Those engineers wanted to go up and take a look, and the Party Secretary asked me to go. Did your trip to the city go smoothly today?"
Su Yuhe didn't understand this and asked Jiang Lin to be more careful: "Don't blame you if anything goes wrong."
Jiang Lin thought of Gu Nanshan's excessive attention to him and frowned, but didn't take it seriously. What could a person of his background like him want?
Lu Jianrong would occasionally make a few sarcastic remarks to him, but there was no need to pay attention to him. Jiang Lin was not afraid of him even if he dared to do anything.
Su Yuhe made a few very simple dishes, including watermelon and egg soup, stir-fried beans, and stir-fried cabbage.
This meal was quite vegetarian.
About ten days later, the approval finally came down.
The canal that Gu Nanshan and his team planned to build was divided into two parts.
One part is only 750 meters long, but don't underestimate these few hundred meters, they are all on the mountain. If the canal in this part is well built, it can divert mountain springs to prevent mountain floods.
The other part is about three or four miles long, from the foot of the mountain to the fields, and there is another branch that brings water from the river.
The commune held another meeting to discuss the plan for building the canal again.
Gu Nanshan didn't go up, and let Li Yunheng talk about how to build the canal and how long it would take...
These things are too profound for the members, and they are all confused.
Su Yuhe and Jiang Lin stood in the back, listening to several production team leaders start to mobilize their own groups.
While the crops in the fields are not yet ripe and there is not much work to do, we should start construction early and strive to complete it within half a year.
A strong and healthy man would not carry stones down from the mountain for nothing. He would earn 20 work points a day and 30 cents, which was double what he would earn from his usual work.
As for women, it is not recommended to carry the goods up the mountain. Instead, they should help dig the canals below, which would earn them 15 work points and 20 cents a day.
But the women who used wheelbarrows to push rocks and earth could also be counted as 20 work points and 30 cents.
Pulling a wheelbarrow uses traditional manpower and is not an easy job.
Jiang Lin whispered to Su Yuhe, "We don't need that little money. Don't rush in. Just use a shovel to dig the soil. Using a wheelbarrow is very tiring."
"Yeah." Su Yuhe saw someone pushing a wheelbarrow when he went to the county town to buy coal last year.
It is not very heavy when loading coal, but if you load stones and sand, you will not be able to control the balance without great strength.
Su Yuhe was aware of her own strength. After thinking about it, she also wanted to remind Jiang Lin:
"I know you're going to pick up some rocks, so don't carry too much at once, okay?"
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Maybe I don't need to carry it. The engineer asked me to follow them to blast the mountain."
