Chapter VI: Social Surveys
Before dawn, Xie Niancheng got up and called CC and Athena, who had the most research on appearance, to dress up for himself for an hour.
Looking at the handsome guy in the mirror, with a tall figure and clear eyebrows, except for the immature appearance, which is a little imperfect, the others are enough to make Xie Niancheng cry that he is handsome.
The preparations that should be made have been completed, Xie Niancheng turned over and went to the county seat to meet Luo Wenxuan and Zhao Ke.
Hey, investigate, today I'll see how you investigate.
Xie Niancheng saw Luo Zhao and the others at the gate of Zhao's mansion, and sighed in his heart, Luo Wenxuan and Zhao Ke were both dressed very plainly, very close to the work clothes of the workers in Xie's factory, and they also carried a medium-sized satchel.
"It's a joke, am I? Yesterday you two were gorgeous, what kind of plane are you wearing like this today? "Xie Niancheng slandered.
Luo Wenxuan frowned slightly, and Zhao Ke smiled helplessly: "Xie Niancheng, where are you going to the banquet?" ”
"What's wrong? What kind of clothes do you wear to conduct an investigation? ”
Luo Wenxuan made a round: "It's almost dark, let's go, Gongzi Xie, I'm older, so I'll shout at you to thank my brother, okay?" I'm going to bother you today. ”
Damn, you also take advantage of this kind of cheapness, Lao Tzu and the two worlds together are much more than you, and replied in his mouth: "Brother Luo is polite, Brother Luo's words yesterday made me suddenly open, I really want to ask for more advice today." ”
Zhao Ke's head was a little dizzy, did this seem like what the young master said?
The three of them got on their horses and walked slowly out of the city, walking all the way, while Luo Wenxuan introduced today's arrangements to Xie Niancheng.
"Brother Xie, today I plan to go to a few farmhouses first, and then go to your factory to have a look, how about it?"
"No problem, I'm just following Chang Zhi today to see what new things Dr. Luo brought back from the United States."
"Where, where is it, Brother Xie's family's business is booming, I admire it very much, and I have to ask my brother to bother more today."
Walking all the way politely, there is a field not far from the city, and the closest to the roadside is a young farmer, who is ploughing the field for spring sowing.
Luo Wenxuan turned over and dismounted, and after Zhao Ke dismounted, he took out a printed form from his cloth bag, and took out a pen to prepare for the record.
Xie Niancheng, who was behind the two, showed a weird smile.
Luo Wenxuan walked up to the farmer: "This brother, can you delay a little time to talk?" ”
The farmer waved his hand: "Go away, go away, don't delay my work." ”
Zhao Ke saw clearly that the farmer was not working seriously at all.
"You ......"
Zhao Ke was about to get angry, but Luo Wenxuan gave her a look and told her not to speak.
Luo Wenxuan took out a few copper plates from his bag: "Brother, it won't be delayed for long, can you take these copper plates to buy wine and drink?" ”
The farmer waved his hand away from Luo Wenxuan's outstretched hand: "Get out, are you calling Hanako?" I told you that Lao Tzu was very busy. ”
Luo Wenxuan's cultivation was excellent, and the anger in his eyes flashed but did not attack. He walked back from the field and smiled at the two: "It seems that this eldest brother may not be in a good mood today, let's go, let's go forward." ”
I asked a few farmers along the way, and Luo Wenxuan got the same answer, the most exaggerated one of the farmers who was pouring dung raised a wooden spoon and almost didn't pour the dung on Luo Wenxuan's body.
Zhao Ke was a little dissatisfied: "Why are the farmers like this now?" ”
Xie Niancheng was proud: "Hey, forget it, people are busy with their work, and it is annoying to see a few of us hanging around, don't disturb others, let's find a place to eat and drink tea." ”
Luo Wenxuan looked at the farmer working in the field in the distance, thoughtful.
After walking a few more miles, Luo Wenxuan did not stop again, and when he reached a small road, Luo Wenxuan got off the horse.
"Hey, that's not a good road." Xie Niancheng didn't expect this to happen.
Luo Wenxuan said with a smile: "The people here are very busy, let's go to the farmhouse, there should be some idlers there." ”
Zhao Ke led the horse and followed, and Xie Niancheng had no choice but to follow.
Rounding two hillocks, a family appeared less than two miles away.
The house had three rooms, a cattle pen at the back, and the walls of the house were rammed with many cracks, and the windows were covered with open paper, and the roof was covered with thatch.
When I got closer, I was greeted by the stench of chicken feces, pig manure, and rotten vegetable leaves.
Zhao Ke's face was embarrassed, but Luo Wenxuan still smiled, and from the open door, he could see that an old lady with gray hair and patches in her homespun clothes was braiding straw sandals in the hall.
Luo Wenxuan went to the door and asked, "Old man, can you come in and talk?" ”
When did the old lady's house come to such three guests with horses and extraordinary temperament at first glance, they stood up tremblingly, "Please come in, please come in." ”
Luo Wenxuan hurriedly stepped up and held on: "You sit, you sit." ”
After sitting down, Luo Wenxuan began to talk to the old lady, Zhao Ke took out a form and recorded it carefully, Xie Niancheng began to listen to what the two were talking about, but it sounded like "Last year's harvest was not good?" "More than 300 catties were harvested from one acre of land?" "The kid is doing farm work." "The kid next door is working" or something like that.
Xie Niancheng couldn't understand what these things Luo Wenxuan was talking about with the peasant woman had anything to do with what he said yesterday at the county magistrate Zhao's house, and the freedom and equality of the country, and he was a little bored on the side.
Zhao Ke's eyes have always been bright and he looks serious.
Xie Niancheng is ruthless, surnamed Luo, you want to play, today the master will play with you to the end.
After about half an hour, Luo Wenxuan showed a satisfied look, and took out a piece of the ocean and gave it to the peasant woman, who excused herself a few times, and finally accepted it at Luo Wenxuan's insistence.
Out of this house, Luo Wenxuan left two more houses, one of which was poorer than the first, and the other was a little better, chatting with the old people who stayed at home.
Finally, we had lunch at the third family's house.
At this time, it was green and yellow, the rice was all brown rice, and the vegetables were some pickles, Zhao Ke only moved his chopsticks a few times, Xie Niancheng saw that Luo Wenxuan ate sweetly, and he also ate two bowls with all his heart.
In the end, the old man of the peasant family who received Luo Wenxuan's two oceans was so grateful that his mouth trembled.
On the way back to the road, Luo Wenxuan was a little heavy: "The farmers in the land of abundance have lived such a hard life, and those in the remote mountainous areas don't know if they have enough to eat every day. ”
Zhao Ke walked down, tears were already flashing in his eyes.
The three of them arrived at the Xie family's tile factory at noon, as the place where the Xie family's business started, the scale of this factory is indeed not large, after all, it is limited to the market size in Sichuan, there are only two or three hundred workers, and there are several coal-burning machines are roaring.
Similar to what happened in the morning, no one paid attention to the workers Luo Wenxuan encountered.
Luo Wenxuan finally came to the dirtiest plastering workshop in the factory.
The workshop was full of smoke, and some figures were faintly seen busy back and forth, Xie Niancheng and Zhao Ke stopped, and when they saw that Luo Wenxuan was going inside, Zhao Ke took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Luo Wenxuan.
Luo Wenxuan caught it with a smile, covered his nose and entered the workshop.
Xie Niancheng's mind became more and more confused about what Luo Wenxuan wanted to do: "Zhao Ke, what are you doing here?" Does it make sense? ”
Zhao Ke's voice was a little proud: "Of course you don't understand, do you think that you can write some poems, you can tinker with some gadgets, and if you have money, then you are amazing, right?" ”
Xie Niancheng didn't answer, in his experience of being a human being in two lives, it seems that if you have money, you have everything.
Soon, there was a burst of hearty laughter in the workshop, Luo Wenxuan and a few workers walked out of the workshop, talking and laughing, and found an open space outside the workshop to sit down, Zhao Ke also smiled and took out the paper and pen and walked over.
This time, Xie Niancheng didn't follow the past, and watched this group of people talking and laughing from a distance.
Xie Niancheng has seen these workers, and they were also laughing when Xie Niancheng paid them, but anyone can see the difference between the laughter at that time and the laughter now.
What is the ability of the person surnamed Luo? Can these workers be so happy to see him?
Xie Niancheng realized at this time that maybe he really didn't know enough about this society and people's hearts.
In that time and space, he saw a lot of TV and movies, as if some people were very faithful, but he didn't believe it, because at that time, his male friends around him were all trying to make money like him, and they were drunk and drunk. Most of the female friends like rich men, and a few like handsome guys. At that time, to say that anyone had connotation was to laugh at him, at least that's what he knew.
In this time and space, he has been the eldest young master since he was a child, everyone has to follow him, no matter what he wants, someone will send it, and whoever in the family is not pleasing to the eye can punish him for slapping his mouth, other people's thoughts? The eldest young master believes in this sentence: go your own way and let others say go.
But seeing Luo Wenxuan and the workers talking and laughing, and seeing Zhao Ke's eyes constantly falling on Luo Wenxuan, Xie Niancheng suddenly felt very lonely.
Luo Wenxuan got up, two workers took the initiative to lead Luo Wenxuan to other workshops, to talk to familiar workers, Xie Niancheng followed behind, these workers saw Xie Niancheng, their faces showed fear, Xie Niancheng was not at all, signaling those workers to continue to talk to Luo Wenxuan.
Then not long after, Luo Wenxuan laughed with these workers again.
Xie Niancheng's mind became heavier and heavier.
Luo Wenxuan and Zhao Ke completed their investigation and began to walk towards the factory gate.
Xie Niancheng still followed, and suddenly he thought of something: "Brother Luo, be careful......"
Before the words fell, a small cart full of mud crashed into Luo Wenxuan, and the mud splashed Luo Wenxuan's body.
The workers who sent Luo Wenxuan knew what was going on with the car, but they didn't dare to say anything, they just took out clean towels one after another and surrounded Luo Wenxuan to help him clean up.
The person pushing the cart was a little frightened, and looked at Xie Niancheng with a look for help, Xie Niancheng sighed, waved his hand, and the person disappeared like a fly.
The workers helped Luo Wenxuan clean up a rough idea, and Luo Wenxuan made a gesture: "Thank you, thank you." ”
Xie Niancheng had a cold face, and the workers did not hide their feelings, and they all waved goodbye to Luo Wenxuan enthusiastically, and then timidly came over to say goodbye to the young owner.
Walking out of the factory, the three of them looked for some gossip all the way, and when they reached the fork in the road, Luo Wenxuan said: "Today, thank you so much, brother." ”
Xie Niancheng's face was feverish. "Brother Luo is polite, we will meet again another day, please appreciate the light." The tone was full of sincerity.
Luo Wenxuan smiled, got on the horse and walked slowly.
Zhao Ke stayed behind and stared at Xie Niancheng: "Do you know? Everything you've done today is like a poor clown...... However, I think you are just an ignorant child, your nature should not be bad, you are sixteen years old this year, do you want to be a fool for the rest of your life? ”
After saying this, Zhao Ke got on the horse and left side by side with Luo Wenxuan.
Xie Niancheng stood in place: "What I did, is it wrong?" Why don't I understand what they're doing? Why do peasants and workers like them so much? I just want to make money so that my family can live a good life and live the life I want, isn't that right? Does it matter to me whether the farmers and workers who can only do their best are doing well? ”
Countless questions swirled in Xie Niancheng's head, and the eyes of farmers, workers, and Zhao Ke looking at Luo Wenxuan made Xie Niancheng feel deeply jealous.
It would be nice to be able to be looked at like this one day.
