"Lao Tan, have finished breakfast......"

the state dam crossing is located at the car Jia River below the lankhai village. The road down the mountain is about 1 kilometers, and it has to pass through a small mountain forest in the middle. Although Lao Tan is 70 years old, but the pace is steady, the speed is very fast, and the two local staff who will go with the reporters will be cut off by the old man.
reporters followed suit. Soon afterwards, they went to the ferry crossing and arrived. The old man found no one crossing the river. He found a stool and told reporters about the ferry.
the old man could not remember exactly when to start the ferry, but at the beginning of the 70s of last century, the dam built the Gump bridge power station in the lower lankzhai village. The path of the river under the village was flooded, and the path was an important traffic fortress in the village, but the dam was flooded more than 200 meters wide and more than 20 meters deep in the deep stream after the dam. To this end, an urgent need for a ferry man.

He made some work on his own work every day, and the ferry was not a labor, and he could not confirm it. Knowing Tan Guochao's idea, the leader of the group told him that he could earn 20 jobs for a day, and Tan Guochao did not worry about it, and he was not officially on duty until he was 30.

a day ferry 200 people
there are several villages around the village of lankzhai village, but the mountain road is rugged, the villagers and students go to school far away. If you choose to take a boat, the distance of two hours will be shortened to one hour.
at that time, 20 work per day was a hard work for Tan Guochao. People came and went in a continuous stream. Tan Guochao traveled from spring to winter to the river from spring to winter.
after the implementation of the land contract responsibility system in rural areas, workers are divided into the past. After the village research agreed, Tan Guochao ferry fees can be charged, the price will be 5 cents per person.
"most of the day I'm afraid to receive the first 10 dollars", Tan Guochao recalls, after the land contract, people come and go to the two sides of the field, go out and go to school more and more people, although he did not count how many people on a boat every day, but at most, they can earn 10 dollars, quite red, quite a lot of time. In abundance.
according to Lao Tan, each person charges 5 cents for a ship, for example, if he has 10 yuan a day, the number of passengers on that day is about 200.
that was later confirmed by the reporters in the mouth of the villagers. The villagers told reporters that the country's dam ferry was a shortcut, and thousands of people in the surrounding villages would choose to take a boat.
"it's better to come to a ferry at home than to get tired of sleeping." Lao Tan told reporters that from the earliest 5 cents to 5 now, from the then wooden boat to the present iron boat, he also worked from 25 years old to 70 years old.

during the interview, just one of the villagers is going to cross the river, and Tan walks down the dozen steps of the dock, gently pushes the boat tied to the shore, and the villagers go on the boat. At this time, reporters found that the old ferry ferry was not drawn but pulled.
on the riverside of the ferry, a cable rope was tied to the high side of the banks. The boat was pulled by the ropes on both sides of the Straits. After the ship was pushed into the water, Tan gently DIDS a 3 meter long stick and the boat is off the shore. At that time, Lao Tan picked up the cable rope in his hand and pulled it off one by one, and the boat leaned towards the other side of the river.
although it looks simple, the reporter found that the boat of Lao Tan is somewhat famous. At the bow of the ship, Lao Tan was tied up with wire, and the cables of the towing boat were placed on it. Lao Tan told reporters that this is the navigator. With this hook, the ship will not change course because of strong winds or currents. "
" this Tuo is to take the head, "he said, pointing to a circular iron column on the ship. When the ship came to shore to return, as long as the rope pulled on one side of the iron column was pulled, the ship would start with a circular cylinder for 360 degrees, thus realizing the adjustment.
two local staff who went with reporters saw Lao Tan's introduction and exclaimed admiration. Lao Tan himself said happily, "do you think..."
dock side, punctual waiting for
"primary school is 4:30, junior high school 5 points." Speaking of picking up and sending students, the old man had already made a punctual travel schedule. Every Friday afternoon after school, Lao Tan punctually crossed the boat to the other side to pick up the students.
the old man introduced that over the past 40 years he had sent over 10000 students, of whom the students occupied a large number. But in the past 10 years, traffic has become more and more convenient and the living standard of the villagers has increased greatly. When you go out, you take the bus, and the number of students is slowly decreasing.
"now there are more than a dozen students in our village," Mr. Tan said. For many years, most of the students he received from him went out to work, some were teachers in the county and went out from LAN Ke village. Now more than a dozen dolls are at school in the village, and Tan says that on Friday and Sunday he is on time waiting at the dock, watching the children go on board, ship, and leave...
"only one student was received last week," said Lao tan. Last weekend coincided with the fair, because most of the children did not return to the village because their parents went to visit. On that day, only one of the children waiting for him was returned to the village. Even then, Tan was on time.
the interview is about to end, and bid farewell to Lao Tan, still waiting on the docks. Tian Biao told reporters that the construction project of the Park River Wetland Park has been approved, the wharf of the old Tan is also within the scope of construction, plus Lao tan on the age, perhaps in a few years, the Lao Tan will not pull the boat again.
