Chapter 83
Chang Xile originally thought that whether it was according to the male and female bodies, or the ratio of men and women in Taoyuan Village, the number of men and women in the first batch of training should be more men and fewer women.
But he underestimated the importance that women attached to this matter, and he didn't know why, this group of women's troops was particularly active. The woman who has already married is just that, and even the usually shy girl is very active in signing up, and the heat makes Li Zheng embarrassed to refuse.
But the number of places is limited, and there are always people who can't be selected, and they actually cry directly. Li Zheng hurriedly comforted that there was another time, and then it subsided.
If you see more men and fewer women, I am afraid that under the leadership of Dayingzi, it will turn the sky upside down. If a woman makes a fuss, it is much more terrible than a man, and she can't go up and kick it.*
Chang Xile listened to the description, and was a little surprised.
Although he has consciously instilled the awareness of equality between men and women over the years, he has never been arrogant in promoting this view, but has paid more attention to cultivating the concept of self-reliance, self-reliance and self-respect of women. Let them not be self-deprecating, let them know that someone has their back.
And this kind of thinking is only propagated in the Chang family and the workshop, after all, he can't pull everyone to a meeting every day, and then make a speech that crackles, which is also too bad, and it has no effect. He is only based on the economy, and then consciously guides and affirms everyone's labor and value.
In the workshop, a dedicated corporate culture is created to make women workers more confident. This is also the reason why everyone sees the female workers in the workshop and thinks it is very different. Because the whole atmosphere makes their temperament different. A woman who works hard and feels that everything is right and minimizes her savings is definitely different from a woman who is confident, financially independent and self-affirming.
Although Chang Xile knew that these atmospheres in the workshop would spread, after all, female workers would also socialize with other people, and their feelings would also infect others. Especially the people of the entire Taoyuan Village, they all respect his point of view, and there will be no doubts, so it is easier to affirm and accept such a cognition.
In any case, it has only been a few years, and it is generally difficult for deep-rooted ideas to change significantly.
And Chang Xile thinks subtly, worrying that challenging the world too radically will only make these women not get good results, so every step is very slow.
Unexpectedly, Yiqiē still exceeded his expectations. These women have begun to have their own demands, especially in this case, which shows that they have taken the initiative to become a member of the village, rather than a vassal to be discarded at any time.
Chang Xile liked to hear about this, so he acquiesced to the configuration of the first batch, which is also to encourage and affirm everyone's enthusiasm. When this time passes, it is still dominated by men. After all, there are many more strong men in Taoyuan Village than women, and no matter what the considerations, the proportion cannot be equal.
Men and women have different physiques, except for the special case of Dayingzi, and it is not very reasonable to train in the same way.
There is still a period of time before the actual training, and Chang Yu and Chang Xile make a training plan together before starting the training. Every step is justified, not arbitrary.
The two of them began to work together when they trained Chang Yu before. One is technical guidance, and the other is to try it yourself, and the effect is very significant.
Although Chang Xile is not good at physical fitness, his theoretical knowledge is not bad, especially because he was sick in the past, he has learned simple acupuncture, etc., he is quite familiar with the human body, and he has read some related books, etc., so he can provide some experience in this.
Chang Yu, on the other hand, was born with developed motor nerves and is also quite sensitive to these, as long as he has a little bit of guidance, he can comprehend them. This point is not only on himself, but also fully expressed when he trained the group of children in the Chang family.
Chang Xile just told Chang Yu everything he knew, he knew a lot of things were useful but didn't know the principle behind them, if he copied them, he would probably not be able to adapt to them. But Chang Yu can figure out the reason after mastering the knowledge, and then transform it and put it on each child.
Apricot can be so good, which is enough to prove his ability.
Therefore, although Chang Xile still participates this time, he is more of a bystander and an insider, occasionally providing some advice, and the main body is Chang Yu. Chang Yu's current ability, he doesn't have to worry about it at all.
Before I started training, the Spring Festival came first.
Taoyuan Village will be very lively every year, because every year the troupe and jugglers will be invited to come over to sing and perform, so at this time, not only the people of Taoyuan Village, but also other villagers will come to watch the big drama regardless of the long distance.
And this year, because the canal was opened, and Chang Xile, Chang Yu, and Song Bangcheng, who was half of Taoyuan Village, were all moved, Li Zheng waved his hand and asked Chang Xisheng to invite the troupe and jugglers from the house to perform in the village.
Although it is not the most famous opera troupe in the house, it is much more powerful than the one in the county, and they sing all the drama books they have not heard. And the juggling made everyone stunned, especially the children who didn't roll their eyes and didn't know that they had fallen down.
Those who perform juggling are swallowing fire and breathing fire, and they are tricks to wipe out all the big living people, or conjuring a bunch of candy birds or something, and even more exaggerated, there are performance cutting techniques, and it is okay to cut one person in half!
When the knife was cut, many women and children couldn't help but scream and covered their eyes, but some couldn't help but open their fingers slightly to find out. And when his eyes opened, he didn't see the bloody scene he imagined, the upper half of the man waved his hand to greet everyone with a smile, and the legs of the lower body were still moving and cocking Erlang's legs. When the two boxes were put together again, the man stood up intact again.
An aunt didn't hold back, and didn't care that the other party was a shirtless man, so she stepped forward to take a closer look, and sighed: "Why don't you even have a scar?" ”
Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was immediately pushed to the highest climax.
The performances in the past few days have made the big guy talk about it for a whole year, many people are greedy if they haven't seen it, and some people suspect that it is an exaggeration. It can be seen that everyone can only choke at that time, and they didn't go to see it at that time, which provoked more people in Taoyuan Village in the second year.
Gradually, during the Chinese New Year, it became a habit to gather in Taoyuan Village to watch plays. If it hadn't been like this, it would have been like nothing had happened.
Although there were too many people in those days, Keli was well organized, so there was no chaos. And the people who can occupy the best position are all people from Taoyuan Village, so there is no hindrance, and it will not make everyone feel that they have paid for it, and as a result, they are cheaper than people from other villages.
Not only that, some people who are active also take advantage of the large number of people to start a small business, selling snacks or gadgets. I didn't expect to earn a lot, and my heart is even more beautiful during the New Year.
Chang Xile watched for a while and left, although the weather was very bright these days, he was still wearing a thick cotton coat, wrapped himself tightly in a cloak outside, and held a hand warmer in his hand, this configuration was comparable to the old and frail old people in the village, but he still felt very uncomfortable after a long time.
The weather here is more freezing than in the previous life, and Taoyuan Village is in the deep mountains, which is particularly biting in winter. Perhaps this is the case, the low temperature in winter freezes a lot of insect eggs to death, so that there will not be so many insect pests in the coming year. This is one of the reasons why the fertility of Taoyuan Village can be effectively improved after the fertility catches up. Because it is not attacked by too many pests, and there is also the defense of tea withering, there is no need to worry about these.
It's just that this kind of weather is not so easy for Chang Xile. Especially when he first came, he was uncomfortably frozen at night, and the feeling was really unbearable. Fortunately, he found a way to keep warm - hugging Chang Yu, which allowed him to sleep well at night.
Chang Yu is completely opposite to him, he can run outside shirtless in winter, and his whole person is like a little sun. So I hugged him to sleep, and I became hot.
It is also because of this that Chang Xile has no way to refuse Chang Yu's hug, after all, he will hug the other party if he needs to, and the other party wants to hug him but refuses, which is also unkind. At first, he didn't notice Chang Yu's strange thoughts, and he didn't think about it, so the Chang family was concerned about whether he would be cold at night, and he was very proud to say that he had Chang Yu, and it was warm to sleep in his arms.
This also makes the Chang family feel that it is reasonable for the two of them to sleep together even if they are not young.
Chang Xile always feels cold when he is outside, and the rest is fine, it is still very warm when there is sun, but his feet are not hot. It's better to walk around all the time, but it's not okay to be still. So let him keep watching the play or juggling outside, but it couldn't last long.
And the doctor also explained before that he can't be cold, otherwise he won't show it for a while, and he will be in trouble when he gets old in the future. Chang Xile doesn't like to watch the excitement very much, and he has no interest in singing, and those juggling are more exciting than they are now, and they are not unusual, it is enough to see them once and know what is going on.
Therefore, there is no regret about leaving, but seeing that Chang Yu also followed, he couldn't help but feel that he had affected the other party.
"Little meow, you like to watch dramas so much, you don't have to leave with me, I'm waiting for you at home." Always rejoice.
Chang Yu shook his head, "I prefer Lele." ”
Chang Xile laughed, "Then you don't have to stick to me all the time, when we are out of sync, you can do what you want, just remember to come back." ”
"Lele is not here, it's boring."
Chang Xile was helpless, "Won't you feel annoyed when you always follow me?" ”
"Why is it annoying?" Chang Yu put his head on Chang Xile's shoulder, his arm hugged his waist from behind, and his face was against his face, "Is it warm?" ”
Chang Yu never knew what it meant to avoid suspicion, even if he was outside, he did what he wanted.
Chang Xi smiled happily, "It's very warm!" How can you not be warm with you? ”
Chang Yu smiled brightly.
Everyone went to see the play, there was no one here, and now there was no one, so Chang Xile did not refuse his actions.
"Why do I think you're a little taller?"
Chang Yu let go of his hand at this time, stood up straight and gestured, "I'm taller than you." ”
Chang Xile saw that it was really like this, and his heart suddenly felt a little unhappy. Obviously, Chang Yu was a head shorter than him a long time ago, but in just a few years, he was surpassed. He is almost nineteen years old now, but his height is estimated to be about 1.7 meters, and according to the current trend, he will not grow much taller at all.
The overall height of Taoyuan Village is good, and the men in the Chang family are basically about 1.8 meters. In Pumpkin Mansion, it belongs to the big tall one. The height of people in Pumpkin House is generally relatively low, with men around 1.7 meters and women around 1.5 meters. Taoyuan Village is an exception, there are probably more outsiders, and only those who are physically fit can survive, so they are generally taller than people in other places.
Chang's father is also about 1.8 meters, but his grandmother is very short, about 1.5 meters. Chang Xile couldn't help but think to himself, wouldn't he just pick up the height of his grandmother? If it is like this, it will be unlucky, his generation has taken a tall one, even the fourth sister Chang has about one meter six or five, the woman here is already relatively tall, everyone has taken the feature of height, but he is an accident!
The height of the locust is also slowly rising, looking at the skeleton, it should not be short. In this way, he is the shortest in the whole family, which is also sadistic enough. In his previous life, he had been in poor health, and he was almost 1.8 meters tall.
Chang Yu saw that he was not very happy, reached out and touched Chang Xile's head, and comforted: "Lele, I like everything you are." ”
Chang Xile was suddenly amused, and the little depression in his heart instantly dissipated, this kid's sweet words skills are really perfect, and he doesn't know where to learn.
He slapped Chang Yu's hand away, "You really think that if you are taller than me, you can switch identities between me and us?" Sue you, it's okay if you're a head taller than me. ”
As a result, Chang Yu was really happy and happy, and Chang Xile wanted to slap his mouth depressedly.
Chang Yu didn't refute, only said: "Let's go back, it's windy here, don't freeze you." ”
Hearing Chang Yu say this, Chang Xile couldn't help but tremble, Chang Yu held Chang Xile in his arms, and the two walked side by side.
Occasionally, someone would pass by, and when they saw them like this, their first reaction was not surprise, but distress: "Master Wen, but it's frozen?" On this cold day, hurry back, don't be hurt by the wind. Remember to boil the ginger soup to warm up your body and don't fall into the root of the disease. ”
Everyone is concerned in their words, and no one thinks that there is anything wrong with two big men hugging each other like this. There were even people who asked Chang Yu to take care of him more, completely treating him as if he was Sister Lin, and he would be blown down by a wind.
Not long after returning home, someone sent him an ancestral earthwork that could warm up, and he was afraid that he would fall ill.
Now many people in the village would rather live a short life than always live a long life. Because they know that they will live a long and long life, their days will be more prosperous.
Chang Xile knew this, and he was even more calm.
Chang Yu sometimes does some intimate movements outside, and he will not avoid it like before. Every time he avoided the loneliness in Chang Yu's eyes, he looked at it in his heart, and he didn't do anything immoral, he was too cold, and it was easy for Chang Yu to feel insecure.
Chang Yu's fierce heart is also sensitive, about the past experience, the most afraid of being left behind. Such Chang Yu, Chang Xile can't bear to see it.
"Lele, it's time to drink medicine."
Chang Xile was lying on the rocking chair by the fire pond and was drowsy, and was woken up by Chang Yu. As soon as he smelled the familiar smell of medicine, he couldn't help frowning slightly, but he still drank and ate a large bowl in one go.
He was about to hand the bowl to Chang Yu, but Chang Yu's eyes suddenly became vigilant, and he looked ready to go.
Chang Xile asked Chang Yu with his eyes, Chang Yu patted the back of his hand, and quickly rushed to the door lightly, and then saw that his body was obviously relaxed, which meant that there was no danger.
"What's wrong?"
"Lele, come and see."
Chang Xile put down the quilt on his body, got down from the rocking chair and walked to the door, and was stunned when he saw the scene at the door.
After a while, he reacted, and hurriedly said: "Quick, get these two children in, no, I'll come, you hurry up and find the doctor, Dr. Lu from the neighboring village is also here today, get him over!" ”
As soon as Chang Yu got the order, he ran out of the door without a trace of hesitation, and disappeared without a trace. And Chang Xile hurriedly carried the two thin children who were dying at the door, sloppy and couldn't see their original appearance at all, into the house. The two children are already not small, at least four or five years old, but Chang Xile carries two people like a cat.
The two children were dressed fairly thickly, but they were in tatters, and a lot of cotton had fallen out of them, and their hair was knotted into handfuls of mud. The face was also black, and I couldn't see what it looked like, but I could only see that the little face was collapsed, and it was so thin that it was about to fall out of shape. One of them only had one pair of shoes on his feet, and the other didn't know where to go, and the unshoed foot was so cold that it began to bleed, swell, and turn purple, and when Chang Xile picked them up, he felt that they were shivering all the time.
Because the two children were frozen, Chang Xile did not dare to take them directly to the fire, but put them in the house, and then covered them with his cloak and quilt, and went to the house to find a thick quilt.
The two children wanted to push it off at first, although they didn't make a sound, but it could be seen from the shape of their mouths that they were afraid of getting dirty. But where can Chang Xile manage so much, just wrap them in first. The two children were very weak and did not have much strength to resist, and when they were brought into the house, they were both wilted, and one of them was the strictest. Chang Xi wiped it, his hands were very hot, and he had already begun to have a high fever.
The doctor was quickly carried over by Chang Yu, and he was still dizzy when he stood on the ground. He was just watching the play and saw the wonderful place, when suddenly the world turned upside down, and he didn't understand what was going on, so he was brought here. originally wanted to get angry and curse, but when he saw who the person in front of him was, he immediately held back the words on his lips.
"Master Wenwu, who is sick when you call me over in such a hurry?"
Chang Xile hurriedly pointed to the two children, "Doctor, take a look at these two children." ”
The doctor was still a little dizzy, but when he saw the weak appearance of the two children, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly stepped forward to investigate, his brows furrowed more and more.
"Doctor, how are they?"
"It's not good, the two children are very weak now, I guess they haven't eaten well for a long time, and they have suffered from the wind and cold, and now both of them are starting to have a fever, and it is easy for such a young child to get through. I can't do medical skills, I'm afraid I still have to get to the county. ”
Chang Xile frowned, "I'll arrange it, but you help them with first aid first, and make sure they survive until that time." ”
The Chang family has a full set of things needed by doctors for medical treatment, and there are many common herbs. Chang Xile boiled a bowl of white rice porridge with white rice and water and poured it into the two children, which made the two children a little angry, but it still didn't look good.
The other brothers of the Chang family hurriedly rushed back when they got the news, and when they saw the two children like this, they hurriedly took them to the county seat without saying a word, and the doctor also went with them, if there was anything on the road, they could also save the emergency. Human life is at stake, and no one dares to delay.
Fortunately, it doesn't take much work to get to the county from the canal, and counting the distance from here to the wharf, it can be reached in less than an hour.
Everyone got the news and came back to ask about the two children.
Daddy Chang: "Do you know whose child it is?" How did you get here? ”
Taoyuan Village is not easy to find, if you don't know the road, you probably don't know where to get in. Generally, those who want to come to Taoyuan Village have to be led in by acquaintances. This is also the result of Taoyuan Village opening to the outside world and opening the entrance to the cave. If you deliberately defend, it is easy to be stunned.
The neighboring village has not heard of anyone who has lost the child, and there are still two.
Chang Xile shook his head, "I don't seem to have seen it, and these two children are already too thin, their whole bodies are black, and they can't see anything at all." I was in a hurry, so I didn't have time to wash their faces. ”
Chang Xiwang looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, thought for a while and said, "I think these two children are a little familiar." ”
"Do you know who it is?" Everyone couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know if it's or not, I didn't see it clearly when I was in a hurry, if I said something wrong, don't blame me."
Cao's second sister-in-law is anxious, "Third uncle, why are you so unruly?" If you have something to say, hurry up, what's the point of worrying about this kind of thing. ”
"No, it's not a big New Year...... I think these two children are like the widow's two children, that is, the pair of dragon and phoenix twins named Ping'er and An An. But didn't I say that there was no living mouth left in that village, so maybe I was wrong, the children are all the same, and I often can't tell the difference between other people's families. ”
"What?! You didn't look away? Everyone was amazed.
It's been less than a month since this happened, and I didn't mention it when I felt bad luck during the New Year, and I couldn't help but talk about it as long as everyone got together. In fact, although this kind of thing is accidental, it also makes everyone very frightened. So many people are willing to sign up for training, but they don't want their villages to suffer such a day.
Although everyone didn't have a good impression of this village at that time, they all hoped that they would survive one or two, otherwise it would be too miserable.
Now that Chang Xiwang mentions it, and it is still the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses they like very much, it is inevitable that they will be more excited.
"I'm not sure that the two kids are dirty now, and they're both skinny like that, they just feel alike."
Everyone was even more heart-wrenching when they heard this.
Sister-in-law Wang sighed: "No matter who these two children are, it's too pitiful to be like this, I hope they are fine." ”
Everyone couldn't help but sigh when they heard this.
Most of the people here have children and daughters, and when they see other people's children like this, they don't suffer a lot. Although they didn't see it, they felt pitiful when they heard Chang Xile's description. Now that they have money and the ability to sympathize with others, they always want to do more good deeds to make their blessings longer.
Chang Xisheng and his entourage, who took the two children to the county, did not return home until three days later, by which time the two children had been cleaned, their hair had been shaved because of lice, and their faces could be seen clearly. Although they were so thin that they were out of shape, they could still see what they looked like, and these two people were indeed the widow's children.
