Chapter 181 How to thank Xu Ye (please subscribe)
Regarding the new breeding farm, Fan Dajun and Yang Zongming felt that it was somewhat unnecessary.
Do you need to be so particular about raising livestock?
However, since Xu Ye proposed it, they naturally supported it.
They still need support for Xu Ye's work. Otherwise, Xu Ye, the sideline captain, can't implement the first thing he does. How can he work in the future?
Another reason is that they have more trust in Xu Ye and feel that he is not a person who does things randomly.
Everything Xu Ye has been doing these days is extremely reliable.
So, they arranged for people to go to Shangxi Village to buy bricks, and then arranged for people to go to the town to buy cement.
Building a breeding farm and planting forage vigorously are what the brigade will do next.
With their support, Xu Ye felt much more at ease.
It is useless for others to object, even if they report it to the higher authorities.
Because breeding is one of the tasks, it is right for Xu Ye to expand breeding now.
After talking about this matter, Xu Ye handed Yang Zongming a cigarette.
"Uncle Zong, come to my house after lunch. I said I would make a prosthetic leg for you, but I have been delayed by various things. Today I can finish the last bit for you to try."
Yang Zongming took the cigarette and said expectantly: "Okay, okay, I will come to your house after lunch."
He naturally hopes that he can get rid of the crutches, after all, it is really inconvenient.
Moreover, when I go to the commune, I will also arouse criticism from others.
"Then I'll go back and get things first, and you can continue your work."
After saying that, Xu Ye went back directly.
After returning home, Xu Ye went straight into the studio.
The prosthetic limb is almost done, but there are only a few small parts left to be finished.
Because the joints were real, he made a structure that simulated the joints.
When you lift your feet, your legs will bend at a certain angle.
When you put it down, your legs will straighten up a little, so that you can be close to a normal walking state.
Whether it works specifically depends on the actual situation of Yang Zongming's use.
After finishing it, Jiang Ruoan also cooked lunch.
Jiang Ruyue did not come back for lunch today, Li Qing also went to school, and Gu Yun also returned to Shangxi Village.
After lunch, Yang Zongming came early.
Not only Yang Zongming, but also Yang Hehua and her two daughters.
They all wanted to see the prosthetic limbs made by Xu Ye and what their grandfather would look like after wearing the prosthetic limbs.
Xu Ye took them to the studio and took out the prosthetic limb.
"These parts are all made of wood. If there are no problems, you can consider using suitable metal to make them, which will be much more durable."
There is currently very little research on titanium alloys in China, and Xu Ye feels that titanium alloys are the most suitable.
Titanium alloy is not light, but also very skin-friendly.
There are also fixed straps on the prosthetic limb, which are connected to the belt above.
In this way, it can be fixed on the leg.
After putting it on, Yang Zongming let go of his crutches.
"Come on, Uncle Zong, try lifting your legs gently first." Xu Ye held Yang Zongming's hand.
If you want to use a prosthetic limb, you still need to adapt and practice. It is impossible to adapt to it all at once.
Yang Zongming directly raised his left leg, then tried to take a small step forward and slowly lowered it.
All of a sudden, I felt that the cut-off position was hard.
It was a strange feeling that made him uncomfortable.
However, he found that he had really taken a step forward.
"Let me go and I'll give it a try. In the worst case, you'll fall down." Yang Zongming said very simply.
So Xu Ye let go of his hand and let Yang Zongming go by himself.
Yang Zongming tried to lift his leg forward, and then stepped on it.
"It's really possible."
Yang Zongming became excited and continued to move forward.
Yang Hehua covered her mouth, her eyes red.
She didn't know how she should thank Xu Ye for getting her father off crutches.
"Grandpa can walk, Auntie, grandpa can walk by himself, no need for crutches."
Because they directly changed their surnames, Yang Hehua's two women were called Grandpa Yang Zongming instead of grandpa.
The two little girls clapped their hands happily and looked at the wooden leg on their grandfather's leg with curiosity.
Yang Zongming walked for more than ten steps without feeling like he was about to fall.
Like it, he likes this prosthetic limb very much.
He walked out of Xu Ye's studio and came to the very spacious back hall.
I walked back and forth, getting used to the feeling of walking on my prosthetic leg.
In the eyes of others, Yang Zongming felt slightly lame when walking.
It can be said that Xu Ye's prosthetic limb is quite exquisitely designed.
Yang Zongming became more confident as he walked in the back hall, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
He stopped and turned to look at Xu Ye, his eyes full of gratitude: "Xu Ye, your skills are really amazing! My leg feels alive again!" Xu Ye nodded with a smile, He also felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart: "Uncle Zong, as long as you are satisfied. However, this is only the preliminary stage. You will need to practice more and adapt slowly."
"This prosthetic leg requires special attention when going downhill or stairs. After all, there is no way it can be the same as a real leg."
Yang Zongming nodded, indicating that he remembered Xu Ye's words.
"Although a prosthesis made of wood can be used, its durability is definitely not as good as that of metal. When I have the chance, I will make a metal one for you, which will be even more perfect."
"Of course, I will take the time to make two more wooden ones for you to keep for later use."
Yang Zongming stepped forward and held Xu Ye's hand: "Thank you so much. I really didn't expect that I could stand up like this."
"I'm very happy to be able to help you." Xu Ye said with a smile.
Yang Hehua and her two daughters gathered around, praising Xu Ye's craftsmanship and good heart.
The little girls even curiously circled around Yang Zongming's wooden legs, reaching out to touch them from time to time, with curiosity and yearning for the unknown world shining in their eyes.
Xu Ye looked at this scene and felt a warm current in his heart.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
He realized that what he had done was not only making a prosthetic leg for Yang Zongming, but also bringing hope and joy to this small family.
"Okay, Uncle Zong, please take a rest first. I will write you a practice plan later. If you follow the plan, you will be able to fully adapt to this prosthetic leg soon."
After Xu Ye finished speaking, he returned to his studio, took out a pen and paper, and began to seriously formulate a practice plan for Yang Zongming.
Yang Zongming took over the plan and looked at it carefully, his face full of seriousness and determination: "Xu Ye, don't worry, I will practice hard and live up to your wishes."
"Okay, then I'll go work on the homestead at the back first." With that said, Xu Ye walked towards the back door.
Because he had already heard that the back door was very lively, and it was obvious that people who wanted to help and learn had arrived.
"Let's go take a look too." Yang Zongming followed. He wanted to walk more and get more used to the prosthetic limb.
At the same time, I also want others to see my prosthetic limb.
When we reached the homestead, more than thirty people had already arrived.
Those who smoke smoke and those who chat chat.
Except for those in the hunting team, the others were all teenagers.
These children have dropped out of school and stay at home. They usually help the family chop wood or do other housework.
When it comes to working, there are only a few work points, so doing housework is more practical.
Therefore, their family members hope to learn a trade from Xu Yi.
With craftsmanship, there will be opportunities to make a living in the future.
When I was teaching before, there were too many people, and they couldn't learn anything even when they came.
This time, I just wanted to take a look while there was no one around.
"Uncle Zong, is this the prosthetic leg made by Brother Ye?" Zhang Sanbao saw the wooden limb on Yang Zongming's leg and walked over quickly.
"Yes, what Xu Ye did can really make me move around." Yang Zongming shared happily.
Zhang Sanbao circled around Yang Zongming's prosthetic leg several times, his eyes widened in disbelief: "Brother Ye, your skills are too good!"
"This wooden leg is just like the real thing. Uncle Zong doesn't need crutches to walk. It's so convenient!"
"Yes, it will be much more convenient for Party Secretary Yang in the future." Wang Baoshan also said.
He did not expect that Xu Ye actually had such skills and abilities.
The Sanxi Brigade is so lucky, and the Jiang family is so lucky to have found such a good son-in-law.
Other children also gathered around, talking all over the place, and some even stretched out their hands to gently touch the prosthetic limbs, their eyes full of curiosity and admiration.
Xu Ye looked at this scene with a smile, and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to what I have to say." Xu Ye clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.
"I know you all want to learn a craft and have a skill to make a living. However, learning is not something that happens overnight. It requires patience and perseverance."
He paused and continued: "I plan to spend some time on my rest days every week to teach you some practical skills."
"Such as carpentry, masonry, weaving, etc. As long as you are willing to learn, I am willing to teach."
He was about to become the sideline captain, so naturally he had to come up with some useful information to teach the children in the village.
It is impossible to let them go to school again, but it is still possible to let them learn a trade from you.
In this day and age, craftsmen have a pretty good life.
Although they are not comparable to workers, they are still much better than farmers.
In addition, the risk of doing craft work is much lower than that of hunting.
In addition, hunting and guns will be banned in the future. Hunters will not be able to stay in this profession for long.
When the children heard this, they cheered immediately, their eyes shining with excitement and anticipation.
"Great! Captain Xu, we want to learn carpentry!"
"I want to learn masonry so that I can build my own house in the future!"
"I want to learn to knit. My mother said that knitted things can be sold for money!"
Xu Ye smiled and nodded, affirming the children's enthusiasm: "Okay, okay, I can teach them all."
"But remember, the most important thing in learning a craft is persistence and hard work, and you can't give up halfway. From now on, I will hold skills classes here every Sunday. Please remember to come on time."
The open space here is large enough and quiet enough for teaching.
"Okay, let's start tying the steel bars now." With that, Xu Ye started to take action.
Concrete can only be poured after the steel bars required for the foundation are tied.
