Chapter 181 How to Thank Xu Ye (Subscription Request)
Fan Dajun and Yang Zongming felt that the new farm was unnecessary.

Is it necessary to be so particular about raising livestock?
However, since Xu Ye had proposed it, they naturally supported it.

They still need to support Xu Ye's work, otherwise Xu Ye, as the sideline captain, won't be able to carry out the first thing, so how can he work in the future?

Another reason is that they trust Xu Ye more and feel that he is not someone who would do things recklessly.

Everything Xu Ye has done during this period of time has been 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 purchase cement.

Building breeding farms and vigorously planting forage grass 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, Xu Ye is now expanding breeding, which is correct.

After talking about this, Xu Ye handed Yang Zongming a cigarette.

"Uncle Zong, come to my house after lunch. I said I'd make you a prosthetic limb, but it's been delayed by various things. Today I can finish the last bit and let you try it out."

Yang Zongming took the cigarette and said expectantly, "Okay, okay, I'll come to your house after lunch."

He naturally hoped that he could get rid of the crutches, after all, they were really inconvenient.

Moreover, when going to the commune, it would cause criticism from others.

"Then I'll go back and get my things done. You guys continue with your work."

After saying that, Xu Ye went back directly.

After returning home, Xu Ye went straight into the studio.

The prosthesis is almost done, with only some small parts left.

Because there are indeed joints, he made a structure that imitates the joints.

When you lift your foot, your leg will bend at a certain angle.

When you put them down, your legs will straighten up a little, so that you can walk closer to a normal state.

Whether it will work or not depends on the actual situation of Yang Zongming's use.

After finishing, Jiang Ruoan also cooked lunch.

Jiang Ruyue did not come back for lunch today. Li Qing 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 with them.

Xu Ye took them to the studio and took out the prosthetic limb.

"These parts are made of wood. If there are no problems, you can consider using suitable metals, which will be much more durable."

There is very little research on titanium alloys in China at present, and Xu Ye thinks that titanium alloys are the most appropriate.

Titanium alloy is not only light but also skin-friendly.

There are also fixed straps on the prosthesis, connected to the belt above.

This way it can be fixed on your legs.

After getting dressed, 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 prosthetic limbs, you still need to adapt and practice. It is impossible to adapt all at once.

Yang Zongming directly raised his left leg, then tried to take a small step forward and slowly pressed down.

All of a sudden, I felt the cut edge become hard.

It was a very strange feeling that made him feel a little uncomfortable.

However, he found that he actually took a step forward.

"Let me go and try. The worst that can happen is that I'll fall down." Yang Zongming said straightforwardly.

So Xu Ye let go of his hand and let Yang Zongming walk by himself.

Yang Zongming tried to lift his leg forward and then stepped down.

"Really, really."

Yang Zongming became excited and continued to move forward.

Yang Hehua covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes red.

She didn't know how she should thank Xu Ye for helping her father get rid of the crutches.

"Grandpa can walk now, Mom, Grandpa can walk on his own, he doesn't need a cane anymore."

Because they changed their surnames directly, both of Yang Hehua's women called Yang Zongming "Grandpa" instead of "grandpa".

The two little girls clapped their hands happily and looked at the wooden leg on their grandfather with full curiosity.

Yang Zongming walked for more than ten steps without feeling like he was going to fall.

Like it, he likes this prosthesis very much.

He walked out of Xu Ye's studio and came to the very spacious back hall.

Walking back and forth, getting used to the feeling of walking with prosthetic limbs.

From the perspective of others, Yang Zongming seemed to have a slight limp when he walked at this time.

It can be said that Xu Ye’s prosthesis is designed quite ingeniously.

As Yang Zongming walked in the back hall, he became more and more confident, 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 amazing! My leg feels alive again!" Xu Ye smiled and nodded, feeling a sense of accomplishment: "Uncle Zong, I'm glad you're satisfied. However, this is only the initial stage, and you'll need to practice more and slowly adapt."

"This prosthetic leg requires extra care when going downhill or stairs, after all, it can't be the same as a real leg."

Yang Zongming nodded, indicating that he remembered Xu Ye's words.

"Although wooden prostheses can be used, they are definitely not as durable as metal ones. When I have the chance, I will make you a metal one. That way it will be more perfect."

"Of course. I'll make you two more wooden ones as a backup when I have time."

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 also very happy to be able to help you." Xu Ye said with a smile.

Yang Hehua and her two daughters gathered around and praised Xu Ye's craftsmanship and kindness.

The little girls were even more curious and circled around Yang Zongming's wooden leg, touching it from time to time, their eyes flashing with curiosity and yearning for the unknown world.

Xu Ye looked at this scene and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He realized that what he had done was not just making a prosthetic limb for Yang Zongming, but also bringing hope and joy to this small family.

"Okay, Uncle Zong, you take a rest first. I'll write you a practice plan later. If you follow the plan, you will soon be able to fully adapt to this prosthesis."

After Xu Ye finished speaking, he returned to his studio, took out paper and pen, and began to carefully make a practice plan for Yang Zongming.

Yang Zongming took 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 kindness."

"Okay, then I'll go to work on the homestead in the back." As he said that, Xu Ye walked towards the back door.

Because he had heard a lot of noise at the back door, obviously all the people who came to help and study had arrived.

"Let's go take a look too." Yang Zongming followed. He wanted to walk more and get used to the prosthesis.

At the same time, I also want other people to see my prosthesis.

When we arrived at the homestead, there were already more than thirty people there.

Those who smoke smoke, and those who chat chat.

Except for those in the hunting team, the rest are children in their teens.

These children have dropped out of school and usually help their families chop firewood or do other housework.

If I go to work, I won't get many work points, so it's more practical to do housework.

Therefore, their family members hoped that they could learn a skill from Xu Yi.

With a skill, you will have the opportunity to make a living in the future.

When I was teaching before, there were just too many people and they couldn’t learn anything.

This time, I wanted to take advantage of the fact that there were not many people around to come and take a look.

"Uncle Zong, is this the prosthetic limb made by Brother Ye?" Zhang Sanbao saw the wooden limb on Yang Zongming's leg and hurried over.

"Yes, what Xu Ye did really allows me to walk." Yang Zongming shared happily.

Zhang Sanbao circled around Yang Zongming's prosthetic limb for a few times, his eyes wide open, full of disbelief: "Brother Ye, your craftsmanship is amazing!"

"This wooden leg looks just like the real thing. Uncle Zong doesn't even need a cane to walk anymore. It's so convenient!"

"Yes, Secretary Yang, it will be much more convenient in the future." Wang Baoshan also said.

He didn't expect that Xu Ye had such skills and abilities.

What good fortune did the Sanxi Brigade have, and what good fortune did the Jiang family have, to find such a good son-in-law.

Other children also gathered around, talking about the incident. Some even reached out to gently touch the prosthesis, their eyes full of curiosity and admiration.

Xu Ye watched this scene with a smile, and a sense of satisfaction surged in his heart.

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me." Xu Ye clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

"I know you all want to learn a craft and hope to have a skill to make a living. However, learning is not something that can be achieved overnight. It requires patience and perseverance."

He paused and continued, "I plan to take some time out on my weekends every week to teach you some practical skills."

"For example, carpentry, masonry, weaving, etc. As long as you are willing to learn, I am willing to teach you."

He is about to become the captain of the sideline team, so naturally he has to come up with some practical knowledge to teach these children in the village.

It is unlikely to let them go back to school, but it is still possible to let them learn a craft from me.

In this day and age, craftsmen still live a pretty comfortable life.

Although they cannot be compared with 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, so hunters won't be able to continue their careers for long.

When the children heard this, they cheered, with excitement and anticipation in their eyes.

"Great! Captain Xu, we want to learn carpentry!"

"I want to learn bricklaying so I can build my own house in the future!"

"I want to learn knitting. My mother said knitted items can be sold for money!"

Xu Ye smiled and nodded, affirming the children's enthusiasm: "Okay, okay, I will teach you everything."

"But remember, the most important thing to learn a skill is persistence and dedication. Don't give up halfway. I will hold skill classes here every Sunday. 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 act.

Only after the steel bars required for the foundation are tied up can concrete be poured.
