Chapter 195: A Long Road Ahead
Chapter 196: Worried about the future
Conan said, "I really want my children to grow up quickly, but I'm worried that we'll be old. β
The mother-in-law said, "Don't be afraid. There are seedlings that don't worry about growing, and no seedlings want to panic. Day by day, the child grows up unconsciously. We have four children in our family, and it seems that it was still yesterday, but one by one, we have started a family and separated things. Now we two also feel lonely, and we are very happy to have you come back. β
Conan said, "yes." I make less money, my salary is low, I feel satisfied, what the future will be, not can be solved by thinking. Sometimes I hope that my children will grow up and leave, so that it will be convenient, and I don't have to hold them all day long, and I can't do things. β
The father-in-law said: "Don't be satisfied with this salary, there are many places to spend money in the future, my daughter marries you, you have to give birth to children, you have to take responsibility, otherwise, my daughter will not marry you, it is not easy for you to get married, you have to cherish it, now that you have a son, you must work hard, roll up your sleeves and work hard, and create a good condition for your child." β
The mother-in-law said, "Don't rush, take your time." Don't waste too much money, and don't worry if you have less money. As long as you don't waste time and work hard, it's fine, as for the result, of course, we want you to be good, if it's really not as good as others, it doesn't matter. Family harmony is stronger than anything else. β
Conan said: "Thank you for giving me your daughter, I think she is okay, she doesn't waste money, she doesn't pursue food and clothing, and she likes new clothes, but she doesn't buy expensive clothes, as long as she is cheap and can wear trendy ones." β
Conan's wife said: "I don't have any money, how ruthless, I go to the supermarket or ** store, try on clothes, and don't buy them, how many eyes people give me." I just pretended I didn't see it. Anyway, putting out good clothes is for people to try, how can you buy them if you don't try them, if you are afraid that others will try them on, why put them out, it is better to hide them in the warehouse. β
The mother-in-law said: "You too, all children are, and they love vanity, as long as the clothes are worn decently and generously, they look dignified, don't wear those bells and whistles, they are not good-looking, irregular, and a waste of money." β
Conan's wife said, "Mom is right. I just can't stand the torture of vanity, I have good clothes, I always want to have them, so I give myself psychological hints, saying, no clothes, no clothes, open the wardrobe and see, a lot of clothes, not suitable, not suitable. I chose and chosen, but I still wore the clothes I had just taken off. No way, women seem to be born with clothes racks, and they always have to hang one or two good pieces to decorate the faΓ§ade, in fact, I don't want to, but I have to do it. β
The father-in-law said, "You have to remember what I said, buy clothes, don't buy those with too many belts, beards, or pockets, how rich are you?" Give me two more money, what are you doing with so many pockets? Besides, now that you all pay your bills on your mobile phones and don't bring cash with you when you go out, why do you need so many pockets. Uncle is not going to make money, there is no place to put a lot of money, buying clothes with more pockets is purely redundant, useless, there are only two pockets that can really be used, it is best, don't put things in your pockets, it looks bulging, show off your wealth? Rich? If you have money, you buy a car, so why walk back? The road is not good, the road is not good, you can buy an off-road vehicle. If you don't believe it, you can't come back. It depends on whether you have money or not, and whether you are willing to come back. β
Conan said, "That's right. He said, his heart was beating faster, this father-in-law was really difficult to deal with, knowing that he had no money, he just opened his mouth and closed his mouth to talk about money. The father-in-law may be too worried that his daughter will suffer with Conan, so he desperately talks about money, which makes Ji Conan's heart tremble. Just like the first time I saw my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I was very nervous.
Conan's father-in-law served as a soldier in Kyoto. likes a simple life, through what he just said, it can be seen that his original choice was just a military and civilian family, combined with Conan's mother-in-law, influenced each other, and slowly became trivial, and gradually disappeared The style of the army gradually disappeared, and slowly became the same as civilians. also fell into clichΓ©s, but he still pretended to be on his face, and after a long time, it is estimated that he will not be able to pretend, and he will definitely be exhausted if he hates Ji Conan from the bottom of his heart. Ji Conan knew that they fancied money, but he didn't have much, he barely had enough food and clothing, and he was angry everywhere, and he was talking about yin and yang here, and it sounded like a knife inside and out, Ji Conan's face was red and hot, and he felt like he had been slapped by his father-in-law, and his mother-in-law spoke well, without cynicism, what did he think in his heart? Ji Conan also does not know.
However, I still yearn for that kind of life in my bones, and when there are many children, like calves, the cowpen is not very clean. However, cattle are very useful, and without cattle, the trough is clean, and without cattle there is no life, and without labor, there is no harvest. It's not enough to just clean the slot head.
Conan helped his mother-in-law light the fire, Conan would not do much, sawing wood, chopping wood, and then stacking piles, these rough jobs, Conan could do them, but he couldn't do them for a long time, after all, he was not a person who often worked hard.
Presumably they will be considerate.
In addition, life in the village is different from life in the city, there is gas in the city, there is no need to chop firewood, chop wood, and there is no need to worry about not having firewood. There is everything in the village, from burning to eating, there is everything, but it is inconvenient to burn the fire, and cooperation is required. Of course, if you have a high level of kung fu, you can also cook while cooking on the fire, which may also be graded, Conan doesn't know which level to rank, he is trying to learn to make fire and try to make the fire work.
Rural people still rely on firewood to cook, these things are particularly energetic to burn, and the food they make is particularly fragrant.
In addition to cotton stalks, sesame stalks, and tree branches, these things can be found everywhere in Conan's parents-in-law's house. In addition, there are short pine hills nearby, and there are many other miscellaneous trees. Don't worry about firewood in the mountains, don't worry about fish in the water, there are firewood and fish here, it's indeed a good place. Conan is not for a living, he would rather live in the countryside, there is nothing bad here, it's just that his conditions are not met, if he has money, he doesn't have to farm. If you want to eat vegetables, just plant a little and don't get tired. Conan's goal is to go in this direction and strive to achieve it sooner rather than later.
Conan's idea seemed very unproductive to his father-in-law. Conan also talked about this kind of thing to his wife, and his wife told his mother-in-law, and his mother-in-law also told his father-in-law, and his father-in-law ridiculed him, mocking him, saying that he did not seek progress and did not want to make progress, and he should hurry up to remind him, so as not to fall deeper and deeper. Otherwise, it would have hurt his daughter.
Besides, cooking in the city relies on gas, which is very fast and can be used to boil water, but it is useless to stir-fry vegetables and make rice.
One of the reasons that attracted Conan back to his parents-in-law's house was to experience the special flavor of rural food compared to the city.
There is also the knowledge of burning fire, and the firewood is squeezed into a pile, and the fire is easy to extinguish. Conan began to burn the fire, inexperienced, the fire was always extinguished, and he kept blowing with a blowtorch before the fire started, but it didn't take long for the fire in the stove to go out again.
The mother-in-law smiled and said, "When you light the fire, we won't have anything to eat until night." After burning for a long time, the pot is not hot, and the stir-fry is not cooked, so I will tell you a trick, which is to set up the firewood and burn it. The fire should be hollow so that it will not be extinguished. People have to be honest to have true friends. β
Conan was very grateful to his mother-in-law for these words, and savored it, it turned out that the fire was also full of philosophy. Everyone should be humble enough to accept the opinions of others, and if they do not change their opinions, they will be encouraged, and in short, they can finally live a happy and healthy life on the surface.
Conan didn't know why his wife didn't understand this, the four sisters, relatively speaking, the fourth was more sensible, and the others were too straightforward to know how to turn. It's easy to offend people. Including Conan, they all have the same sound as offending, and before they know it, they offend people.
Conan knows very well that he chooses and chooses, and he will eventually enter the predestined game, generally speaking, Ji Conan knows very well that his Conan's sister-in-law is a top hat. A high hat pinned to his waist, and when he saw it, he sent a hat to everyone and praised it a few words, and people were very happy, and there was nothing that could not be done. These high hats do not need to be invested and spent a lot of money to buy, but they change due to changes in objective circumstances. Speak appropriately and unconsciously enter the designed topic.
Ji Conan observed: The noodles and steamed buns are not white, but they taste like wheat, no dyeing, no additives, no preservatives, and bulking agents, which is very good. These primitive foods, without deep processing, seem to be popular and don't look good, but they feel sweet and feel safe to eat. If he comes back, it must be Conan's wife who farms, Conan won't go to farm, he can't plant well, but he will complain. In the countryside, there is no idle moment, there is always something that cannot be done, either this thing or that thing, things cannot be done, on the one hand, people are greedy and always want to make a little more. On the other hand, it is habitual, and if you are used to doing work, you will suddenly stop, and I am afraid that you will be depressed and get sick. Winter is not busy all year round. The other three seasons are busy living, and it's like a year. It's hard to rest, and I always have to do some side hustles.
When Conan went to his mother-in-law's house, he could rest assured that the food he ate was fine. Ji Conan noticed that the problem was the water, her house did not drill a deep well, about ten meters, the water on the ground, the water of the farmland is very likely to penetrate into the well, and then after pumping, to the water tower, after precipitation, and then to the farmer's house, no way, there is some earthy smell in the water, when I drink it, I am not used to it. The shadow in my heart is that the water is not hygienic enough. Water is unhygienic and can cause a lot of health problems.
Conan wanted to help them solve the draft problem, but the implementation of the project required a certain relationship. The place where Conan went had a close relationship with the Provincial People's Corporation. It doesn't matter, it's harder than climbing to the sky. Unless you have money, take the money out to solve the draft difficulties for everyone. It's a pity that Conan has no money, and although he does good things for others, it's his turn, but he can't do anything. The understanding of embarrassment is probably here.
Conan thought that the direction of education from an early age was to work for the benefit of the majority of people and not to be selfish, but this direction seemed to be a bit problematic.
I haven't solved my own food and clothing, and I drag my sick body, how can I work for the welfare of others? No matter where you are, you must learn to adapt to the environment, you can't complain about the surrounding environment, even if you curse the environment, the environment is still there, it has no effect on the change of the environment, but will affect your own state of mind.
When Conan introduced to people, he said: "This is just to use other people's money to do practical things, not to rely on one's own ability and financial resources to serve everyone." In the mountains, in a strange place, it is simply impossible to take care of the needs of the family. For the needs of his parents-in-law, Conan could not meet them. In the surrounding neighborhoods, the parents-in-law could not explain this.
I have helped so many people, but it is my turn, but there is no way, and I don't know how long this situation will continue. That is, the head of the institution did not delegate authority to Conan, and a project, without the support of the person in charge, could not be funded. In the final analysis, Conan still has no power and no rights, and in this kind of thing, he expressed his helplessness, but he was very unwilling. I am always looking for ways to break through myself, make myself more mature, more capable, and bring security, peace and joy to my family.
This idea is acceptable to many people, but I am not good at publicity.
Ji Conan said that in the general direction, we still need to be clear, don't be confused, and don't be carried away by victory. Conan is well aware that the projects he has done in the past and now are inextricably linked to the Provincial People's and Religious Affairs Committee in Guizhou. And Conan's mother-in-law's house, although it is said that in the "three regardless" areas, the border areas of these Han areas, no one cares, no one cares, the transportation is inconvenient, and it is very needy, but no one comes to help. If the "border areas" want to get help and development, they must rely on themselves, and the outside world is only a resource support, but in the end, they still have to rely on their own motivation. If you don't do it yourself, others will be tired and half dead, and it will not help. Conan was not worried about the fact that the project could be implemented in poor rural areas where there was no connection, but because the development of the institution and the development of the individual did not match. This kind of worry, like an ant, crawled in Conan's heart, not knowing how to deal with it. He is not the head of the competent department, nor the head of the unit, he is just a civilian, a nobody. If you want to make progress, you must persevere, give full play to your abilities, reach the extreme, and don't be beaten passively. Soon, there is hope to reach the goal and achieve the ambition of life. As for what the goal is, Ji Conan is not willing to talk to others. Speaking of which, there was no reaction at all. Many people know that the salary here is low, and there is no very important change in training.
Conan felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of this. Seeing the tongue of fire licking the bottom of the pot in the stove, and his mother-in-law busy in front of the pot, Conan felt a little sour in his heart, and two tears actually flowed down disobediently. The smoke is flying away, and it's not spicy, what's going on? Maybe it moved real feelings. What feelings? is elusive, and also thinks that there are many things that are not heritable,
