Section 12 Day and night for love
Liu Yong is getting thinner and thinner, and he is soaked in the salt works all day long, soaked in the complaints and insults of the salt factory laborers, which is difficult enough for him. And more importantly, he is forty-seven years old, he has only become an official, and his efforts will naturally attract the eyes of his own strength, he has already heard a lot of reprimands behind his back, and if he goes back twenty years, he may still be able to climb the scale hook with a mouse - hanging, now, drooping old, no way!
Liu Yong's social experience told him that it is not easy for people to live in the world, and if you are negative, others will say that you are depraved, and if you don't seek progress, you can't support the wall. If you are too positive, you will naturally offend the stability of people who have passed by in the world, and you will be suspected of impure self-expression motives, which will naturally attract the white eyes of such people, and cause the collective isolation of such people, and end up with a very serious neuropathy, detached from the people, incompatible with the majority, and even more serious, you will be considered to step on the shoulders of others and climb up shamelessly.
Of course, Liu Yong knew that he had committed public anger, but he was also helpless, the torment in his heart was really painful, the pain he had never had, this pain was doubled, among which was the repentance and mourning for his ex-wife, he kept telling himself, boy, he had failed a beautiful and kind heart, and let a noble star of life unfortunately fall, the guilt was inescapable, how could the conscience be at peace? If you are wise, you must not repeat the mistakes of the past, or you will not live!
Moreover, Xie Yuying's appearance, temperament, bearing, talent and charm make him unforgettable, once he has leisure, he always comes to mind, always dangles in front of him, and lingers no matter what. A few days together is better than ten, twenty, thirty, or even longer.
During the few days of contact, the singing, music, conversation and coquettish voices of Xie Yuying in my memory always sounded in my ears, and even worse. The noise of the wind and rain on the way to the salt farm, the noise of the river flowing by the salt farm, the sound of the people in the salt farm, the sound of the people in the salt farm, the sound of the people returning to the office and the communication with colleagues, even if it is a joke about going to the toilet, farting or eating noodles, etc., all become the music that the soul longs to hear without exception.
Therefore, when talking to people, be extra careful and try extra hard to control your emotions. If you are a little careless, you will be distracted, and you will be replaced by a beautiful object of communication, the preface does not match the small matter, and the answer is not a big problem, but the old man can be said to be beautiful as a fairy, the boss is said to be charming and moving, and the relationship between colleagues is said to be kissing me and I am in love, how can it not be embarrassing!
It's really hard to live like a year. Liu Yong was very distressed.
One day, he went down to the salt farm he had visited on the way to his post, and the tragic situation of the middle-aged woman who spoke ill of him made Liu Yong never forget, and he rushed there. For their work, they came up with a solution, which was to divide the whole salt pan into square shapes and make ditches in them, so that the salt would settle. By putting the water in the river, salt farmers can reduce much of the time they spend soaking barefoot.
But digging a trench didn't work, and Liu Yong didn't think very thoroughly. Didn't the precipitation of salt block the trenches that had been dug for salt? The middle-aged woman who had spoken ill of each other had not yet listened to Liu Yong's suggestion, so she reprimanded with a gloomy face: "Go back to drink tea and chat and hug the child, little white face, what do you know?" ”
Fortunately, the old man was calm and very considerate of Liu Yong's intentions, so he played a round and said: "Liu Yanguan can actively think of a way, don't you have us poor people in your heart, can you be polite?" ”
Yoo Naga took advantage of the salt people's rest time to discuss countermeasures. The weather was really hot, everyone gathered in a bamboo forest to discuss, Liu Yong sat on a bundle of bamboo poles, he looked down at the bamboo tube, empty, he asked everyone, can this bamboo tube be opened?
What's so hard about that? The old man told him, didn't the bamboo tube we brought water open up?
The middle-aged woman suddenly realized a way, opened the bamboo tube, connected it, buried it where it was needed in the salt pan, and then dug the ditch that flowed into the river a little deeper, and blocked the outlet during the salt pan precipitation.
This suggestion aroused the enthusiasm of the salt farmers, who responded positively, immediately started to make it, and began to worry about not being able to find an iron rod that was too long to tie through the bamboo knots.
When the clouds were thick, when Liu Yong took the bamboo tube with water handed over by the old man to drink, he asked, "How did this get through?" ”
"It's short, just a stick!" When the old man replied, the salt people all thought that this method was feasible, so they took local materials, broke off the branches, opened the bamboo pole where Liu Yong was sitting, and forcefully opened the bamboo joints, but the length of the opening became obviously a problem.
The middle-aged woman who thought she was being tricked by fate finally praised Liu Yong: "Little white face, if you can get it right, I will marry you, and I will never dislike you for being old!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the laughter continued, and the jokes were funny, which made everyone rarely happy.
The old man is also a funny person, and he also joked: "One white and one black, Yama Palace, black and white, interesting!" ”
Some people have suggested that it is not enough to rely on a hole as small as a bamboo tube to release water from a salt pan, right?
It can really be described as brainstorming and working together, and in the end Liu Yong came up with a good solution: he asked everyone to make a hole on the two sides of the bamboo tube without a long distance, which can not only facilitate the opening of the bamboo joints, but also facilitate the release of water.
When everyone was skeptical, Liu Yong completed the old man's work, and after he understood, he led everyone to do it together and give it a try. Although everyone didn't believe it very much, for the sake of the old man, he really started to do it.
The results of the trial production came out, and there was no need to dig a trench at all, and the bamboo joints that were opened up were temporarily tied together in large groups and placed around the salt pan. As for the middle of the salt field, it is even simpler, break the bamboo pipe in half, knock off the bamboo joints, tie it firmly, and put it in the middle of the field.
The old man took the lead and pointed to the middle-aged woman who volunteered to marry Liu Yong, and praised Liu Yong: "Okay, it's done, even if the Yama Palace is built, you can grasp your own happiness, and everyone is waiting to beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers!" ”
Liu Yong proposed to pave the mound around the salt pan into a stone road, so that he could work with his shoes on his feet and legs.
These measures have won the praise of salt farmers and have been promoted at on-site meetings. Liu Yong was rewarded by the prefect of Hangzhou and granted him a three-day holiday to recuperate.
Liu Yong was overjoyed, he went back and forth to the office, but rushed to Jiangzhou non-stop, dusty, wearing stars and moons, and hurried very hard, and when he arrived at Sima Gate, it was already dawn.
He went to knock on Xie Yuying's door, and Xie Yuying lazily asked who it was?
Liu Yong also wanted to find out if Xie Yuying's feelings could be sincere, so he said: "Just ask for a meeting, as long as you can make a bid, it's not a problem, open the door to do business, why twist and pinch!" ”
Xie Yuying's lungs exploded when she heard how to abuse the words, and she only heard a chaotic sound on the bed board, followed by the sound of jumping out of bed, only to hear Xie Yuying gritted her teeth and burst out three words: "You wait!" ”
Liu Yongke was happy, he waited at the door, the door opened with a bang, Xie Yuying, who was wearing a cloak, waved a wooden stick in his hand, and the Danqing genius who rushed hurriedly shouted: "Sister, see clearly!" ”
Xie Yuying was angry, he threw the wooden stick at Liu Yong: "Bored, get out!" ”
While admitting his mistake, Liu Yong entered the door, accompanied by a smile, closed the door, hugged the beauty, chattered endlessly, comforted her with passion and true feelings, moved her, and affectionately cared for her.
Xie Yuying saw that Liu Yong had lost a lot of weight, and she was distressed, so she pressed Liu Yong on the bed and lay down, washed his face, washed his feet, wiped his body, covered the quilt, and coaxed him to sleep.
Liu Yong knew that Danqing Caizi lived on Xie Yuying's ship, as long as he knocked on the cabin board, he could hear it clearly, Danqing Caizi was also nervous about this kind of alarm, he would show up in time no matter when he cared for his sister's personal safety.
Liu Yong lightly scolded Xie Yuying for being too rude to Danqing Caizi, the protector god, and Xie Yuying's answer made Liu Yong have a deeper understanding of her personality, and he was more relieved and more devoted. (To be continued.) )
