Chapter 174: Fu Jingyou, Big Change
Coal is four cents a pound, and no ticket is required. It's a great deal.
Four cents per pound, 100 pounds a month, which is actually four dollars.
Fu Jingyou thought about it and said:
"Can I have them all? This month's, next month's... If you don't need that 100-pound allotment, I'll come over for the next few months."
He Fengcang was stunned. "Why do you need so much?"
"...More insurance."
Better than not enough.
Lu Miao said the small stove is better than the stove.
If she likes and there is enough coal, then we can just use the stove in the future.
Anyway, it’s winter, the house is warm and people are comfortable.
"Don't you know how to live?"
He Fengcang scolded Fu Jingyou for a few words, and then explained in detail:
"A piece of lotus root coal weighs about a pound. If you know how to burn the stove and control the damper properly, two pieces of lotus root coal can last a whole day. It's useless to ask for more. Just one more..."
He Fengcang glanced outside the door. His brother was not afraid of anything and did not hide anything. He said frankly:
"The weather will get very cold in the next two months. We need to spare 30 kilograms to send to your sister-in-law's family."
Fu Jingyou nodded and said, "Let's take care of my second brother and sister-in-law first. I just need the rest."
There is a quota of 100 kilograms every month. If we really save on coal as He Erge said, the 30 kilograms won't make a difference.
He Fengcang talked for a long time, then asked as if to confirm:
"Do you really want that much?"
Fu Jingyou nodded and said, "I'll buy it first. If it's enough, I'll buy less in the future."
He Fengcang scratched his head and said, "Okay."
The coal won't be wasted anyway.
Even if it gets damp after getting wet, you can still use it after drying it in the sun.
"You're just carrying a backpack? You want a hundred pounds this time, or should I just fill it up for you?"
"I'll need a hundred pounds this time. If it's not enough... I'll carry some back first and come back next time."
He Fengcang nodded and asked Fu Jingyou to wait for a while. He went out with the basket, greeted and chatted with his leader, and then brought back two baskets of coal.
Fu Jingyou took the money.
He originally wanted to take more, but considering He Fengcang's personality and the fact that he would definitely not accept it, he gave up the idea.
I'm thinking of bringing you something next time I come back.
Fu Jingyou's backpack is big, but he still has to carry 100 kilograms of coal in two trips.
He Fengcang said to pile the coal at the door and asked Tian Guihua to keep an eye on it.
Tian Guihua held the child and coaxed him gently, saying disapprovingly:
"How can I keep an eye on it all the time? Put it inside the house so no one can take it away."
Fu Jingyou was afraid that the house would be dirty, so he wanted to shake his head and say it was okay, but He Fengcang moved too quickly and had already moved more than ten pieces into the house.
Fu Jingyou was filled with emotion and expressed his gratitude to He Fengcang and his wife.
Just as he was about to carry the baby back, Fu Jingyou thought of something and asked:
"Brother, I just came in and saw a lot of burnt coal slag outside. Is that useful?"
He Fengcang waved his hand:
"It's useless. Aren't the town and county busy with road construction right now? Occasionally someone will come and use a flatbed truck to pave the road."
Fu Jingyou paused and asked:
"Can anyone come and tow it?"
"Yes, just say hello."
He Fengcang nodded, looked at Fu Jingyou and asked:
"Why, you want it?"
Fu Jingyou nodded and said truthfully:
"My wife is educated and knows a lot. She said that burnt charcoal slag can solve the problem of soil caking..."
He Fengcang and Tian Guihua looked at each other.
His father is the leader of the production team. If he can really solve the problem, it would be a great contribution to help his father.
"Soil compaction is a big problem. If we can solve it, it would be a great achievement. See if you have some free time in the back. If so, come over and help!"
He Fengcang said:
"There are a lot of road constructions these days, so more people are coming here to haul coal slag than before."
Fu Jingyou nodded:
"I'll go back and discuss it with my uncle."
Fu Jingyou left in a hurry, and He Fengcang raised his voice and shouted from behind:
"Take it easy, don't break the coal into pieces!"
"I understand, second brother."
“…”
Watching Fu Jingyou walk away, He Fengcang shook his head with emotion:
"Oh, I've got a wife now... I finally have something to look forward to."
"Look how cleanly his uncle cleaned up your son. I was about to call you, but he rubbed his little face white."
Tian Guihua, who was beside her, held the child and shook him, and she was also very emotional:
"Has this guy changed so much since he got married?"
In the past, Fu Jingyou was a blockhead, and it was a big deal if he could say three sentences a day.
Look at now?
For those who are good at speaking, three out of five sentences cannot be separated from the word "wife".
The more Tian Guihua thought about it, the more incredible it seemed.
"What are city wives like? Are they capable of anything?"
"If you're curious, why not go back and take a look? It's been a while since I last visited my parents. If you go back and take a look, you can also visit your parents while you're there."
He Fengcang turned around and pinched his son's face.
"You should wipe the baby more often. Look how nice it is after it's been cleaned up."
"Is it because I don't wipe him? There's so much work to do every day, and I can't always hold him in my arms. He rolls on the ground and rubs against the wall. How can I wipe it all?"
"Okay, okay, I'm going back to work."
…
Fu Jingyou has been on leave for the past two days. He has time to deal with family matters, but He Hongjin is still in the mountains, leading people to mine stones.
After returning home, Fu Jingyou first told Lu Miao about the matter, thinking of seeing what Lu Miao thought specifically before making other plans.
Lu Miao thought carefully and analyzed the situation with him:
"If it's free and there's a way to get it back, it's definitely better to get it back if possible."
"But the burnt charcoal slag can't be used directly. It needs to be soaked in water to remove the sulfides..."
Carbon slag is a very good medium. It contains many trace elements and, after being tempered by a high fire, it does not contain any viruses.
It can retain water and fertilizer and loosen the soil.
After soaking in water to remove the sulfide substances inside, it is a very good choice whether to mix it directly with soil or add it into fermented fertilizer.
It is definitely very useful, but Lu Miao is just worried that other people in the team won’t understand and find it troublesome.
It is not realistic for them to work for love alone in the long run.
After thinking for a while, Lu Miao said:
"If that doesn't work, just test the waters with uncle. If he finds it troublesome, we can just get some back for our own use."
Fu Jingyou nodded: "Okay."
Lu Miao hummed, then thought of something and said:
"Come see me tonight and tell me about the composting. I've been waiting for a while, but I haven't come to see you."
Lu Miao was not in a hurry, but after all, he had asked others to join in on this matter, so he had to give an explanation whether it was good or bad.
Fu Jingyou nodded and wrote them down one by one.
