Chapter 103: Solving Problems

Li Shilong also said politely: First, I am not used to it, because there is no meat food and I eat coarsely

Almost every day here, you have to experience the feeling of being hungry and panicking. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoLife is like spiritual practice. The school cafeteria serves the same meals as teachers and students, and the daily breakfast consists of boiled water with rice noodles and chili peppers. Lunch time at school is 11:30 p.m. and dinner time is 6:30 p.m., with a gap of 7 hours. Besides, students are really panicked when they rush home hungry after late school. The food in the school will be low every week. Since the school is surrounded by mountains, there are no vegetables grown in the area. The cook in the school cafeteria goes to the market town outside the mountains once a week to buy vegetables. Because these vegetables cannot be stored for a long time due to the hot weather, so only the first few days of the week, teachers can eat fresh vegetables, and there are no vegetables to eat in the next few days, not to mention meat and fish, most of the time can only live with dried radish, once I ate dried radish for 3 days in a row, it is really a little unbearable.

After hearing this, my grandmother laughed and said: This is easy to do, I will make some wheat cakes immediately, you can add a little in the morning after you bring them, and make up some snacks at three o'clock in the afternoon, so that you will not be hungry, and it is no problem to bring some wheat cakes to eat for a week.

Grandpa said: Miaoyu and I can grow vegetables in the wasteland, and in the second half of the week, we will ask Miaoyu to send some vegetables to the school to improve the school's food. On Sunday, when you come, we treat you as a guest, eggs, kill chickens and ducks, buy pork and beat your teeth.

Li Shilong and Ling Miaoyu clapped their hands in agreement. Then Li Shilong said: There is no bathroom in the school, and in the summer, you can pick up water in the vast open space next to the school playground and in front of the dormitory, but it is very unsightly, and in the winter, the old teacher said that they boiled hot water to wash in the dormitory, and took a bath once a month. I can't stand it.

Grandma laughed and said: This is easy to do, we have an iron bathtub that can boil hot water here, and the water can be boiled under the water, and you can come here to bathe every Sunday in winter.

Grandpa frowned and said: I worked as a mason when I was young, I went to the village director to discuss, let him go to the county seat to buy an iron bathtub, I will help the school build a simple bathroom out of stones, set up a bathtub, you take the time to go to the mountain to pick up some firewood to boil bath water, so that you can take a hot bath every day, and other teachers can also take your light.

The other three clapped their hands in agreement. Li Shilong also said: Third,

Since there is no running water in the school, the situation in the toilets here is conceivable. There are two things to do before going to the toilet every time, one is to spray some perfume on your body, and the other is to apply a little cooling oil, mainly to prevent the smell of the toilet and mosquitoes. When I came out of the toilet in the summer, I had to stand on the playground to get rid of the smell and then go to the dormitory. Despite mosquito protection measures, it often doesn't help, and I still have black marks from mosquito bites on my legs.

Ling Miaoyu wanted to accuse Li Shilong of being lazy and unwilling to sprint, but she didn't accuse, but said: Then I will come every day to pick up water from a distance to clean it, so that the toilet will be clean.

Li Shilong's face turned red after hearing this, and he hurriedly said: For me, you drive eight kilometers to clean every day, I don't want to be humiliated, that's not necessary, I will carry water to flush the toilet after school every day, although it is very dirty, but it can wash my soul, why not.

achieved the desired effect, Ling Miaoyu clapped her hands, and her grandparents also clapped their hands.

Li Shilong said with a bitter face: I am used to sleeping in Simmons beds, and I am not used to sleeping on hard beds.

Grandma said, "This is easy to do, I have cotton tires here, you just need to lay two cotton tires on the wooden board and then spread the mat so that it will be soft."

Li Shilong said again: There are too many mosquitoes here, too big, I can't stand it.

Grandpa said: People in mountainous areas are reluctant to buy mosquito coils, so they can only use the local method to get rid of mosquitoes. In the summer evening, turn off the indoor lights, open the doors and windows, let the mosquitoes fly outside, and then close the screen window to avoid mosquitoes from flying in; Peppermint or roses, etc., mosquitoes avoid them because they can't bear their smell; Fill empty wine bottles with sugar water or beer and put them in a dark place, mosquitoes will drill into the bottle when they smell the smell of sweet wine, and will be stuck to death by sugar water or beer; Burning dried tea leaves and orange peels can repel mosquitoes; Eating raw garlic, In fact, it is also the simplest, most economical and most effective anti-mosquito measure to go to the screen door and screen window before it gets dark and after getting up in the morning every day; mosquitoes mostly like to hide in dark and damp places, and spray pesticides on stairwells, sinks, gutters, toilets, cabinets, table feet, etc. during the day. Use old boxes or buckets, put some rags in it, and arrange it into a dark and damp "artificial trap", mosquitoes fly in to rest during the day, and spray a few insecticides into it, which can easily kill mosquitoes, which is the trick of mountain people. Knowing the time, place and amount of mosquito control is key, and insecticides do not need too much to achieve the effect, and more is not only wasteful, but also increases pollution. At night, each person has a fan to drive away mosquitoes, and mosquitoes deceive people with fine skin and tender meat, and when you get used to the thickening of the skin, the mosquito bite will not hurt.

One difficulty after another was overcome, and Li Shilong could only endure to stay.

Then the problem arose again, when Li Shilong was eating wheat cakes at about three o'clock in the afternoon, the teacher and students watched Li Shilong eat with their eyes, and he was eating as uncomfortable as turning the river and the sea. Sometimes I secretly hide in the dormitory to eat, and students poke through the window paper to secretly watch and eat, but they are sick to their stomachs when they eat, and they have to share it with teachers and students, but it is not enough.

On Sunday, Li Shilong and Ling Miaoyu talked to their grandparents that the three of them were also embarrassed, and it was really difficult to satisfy the teachers and students of the school to eat wheat cakes. Ling Miaoyu had an idea, found the principal, and asked the canteen to steam steamed buns and make wheat cakes in the afternoon, or make rice dumplings to serve dim sum. But the canteen master was too tired and refused to agree. Ling Miaoyu hung her head and went home to discuss with the village director. She suggested that the old lady who could not do the work in the village should steam the steamed buns and steamed wotou at home to make wheat cakes, and then she would collect them and send them to school.

The village director smiled faintly and said: It's okay to do it for two days and three days, but it's definitely not okay to do it for a long time.

Ling Miaoyu smiled and said: If I want to pick it up every day, it will definitely not work, we will only send it for three days.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Ling Miaoyu went door-to-door to collect all the goods and put them in a basket covered with cotton baskets, and then carried them to the school and sent them to people between classes. Teachers and students are enthusiastic about teaching and learning after eating. Three days after Ling Miaoyu sent it, the principal informed Ling Miaoyu not to send it again tomorrow.

Ling Miaoyu had already made this move, and she deliberately asked: Which tomorrow will continue to starve teachers and students?

The principal said that the canteen cooks were moved by your spirit every day, and they agreed to provide snacks in the afternoon according to the schedule of work and rest.

Ling Miaoyu took off her shoes and socks, revealing the soles of her flesh and blood, blistered feet, and said: If you let me send it tomorrow, I won't be able to send it.

The principal had understood that she was using the technique of agitation to motivate the cooks. The two of them clasped hands together.

Li Shilong persevered, and after overcoming it, he found that he had actually gained something, at least his ability to solve difficulties was better than before, because the life of volunteer teaching was indeed full of difficulties that needed to be solved. Now Yumei is close at hand to accompany me, solve problems for me, two people a day can get along, open a small stove for him, use eggs to kill chickens and ducks to buy meat to entertain him, he feels that the taste is particularly good, better than the city's delicacies and seas, he is happy, happy and forgetful.
