Conan: They continue to go up the mountain, and some subsidies will be handed out. On the way, he met a woman who was about to go down the mountain to run errands, and Conan asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"I went to school to deliver some clothes to my child, and she was in a hurry when she left and forgot to bring a change of clothes. It's such a hot day, sweating a lot, and if you don't change your clothes, your body will definitely stink. She said.

"yes. How much time does it take you to go back and forth? Conan said.

"It will take an hour and a half." She said.

"That's really hard, pity the hearts of parents all over the world! Oh, by the way, do you know about the Xiao Zhang family who lives down there? Yoon Hyun-in then asked.

"Yes, we all know here, what's wrong? Xiao Zhang dug the pool first, but did not do it, deceived the cement and steel bars, and also made some cement bricks, ready to make the pool, and later sold all of them. She said.

"Sold? That's what we're trying to do. How can it be sold? This Xiao Zhang is really bold. Conan hurriedly asked.

"Xiao Zhang works outside and is used to life in the city, so he doesn't want to stay at home. It was useless to make a pool. He wanted his old man to go and live there too. At first, the old man was unwilling, so Xiao Zhang dug earthwork and made cement bricks, but later the old man's attitude changed and he was willing to go again. And he sold it. That's what he did. The old man couldn't make up his mind, and at first said that if he lived here, he would definitely have to build a pool, but then the old man changed his mind, so there was no way. If no one is at home, it is really not necessary to build a pool. She said.

"Did he tell the council?" Conan said.

"I don't know if I said it. He and Secretary Li are relatives, and it should be said. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so bold. We are all timid here. There is no one as bold as him. She said.

Conan didn't say anything and fell into deep thought. This project can be regarded as planted in the hands of Director Li. The whole situation is in a state of chaos and cannot be cleaned up. If you do the project again, it is important to choose people. It is necessary to fully understand the situation of the project site, and it takes more time to understand and make good use of it to help the success of the project. What's more, in the future, the project will be completely operated by yourself, so you must fully understand it first, and start it right away without rushing. This place is a pit, stuck in a quagmire, like a war horse stuck in a mud pit, no matter how much strength you have, you can't get out of this quagmire. There is no way, now I can only take one step at a time, the wrong person is selected, the project will definitely not be right, and if you barely pass the acceptance, your conscience will be disturbed. The person in charge of the unit is a little taken for granted, do not carefully see clearly, whether there is a real need in the place, if there is, and then do it, if not, by reluctantly, it is not successful, this is like giving a gift to others, people do not accept, your gift will not be able to play a role, your gift is not welcome, or yours, the other party wants a gift, you have, give it to the other party, the other party will accept and will cherish, and be obedient to do a good job. Now it's good, the villagers think that this is the welfare they deserve, their own welfare is their own decision, they can sell it if they want it, transfer it if they want it, do whatever they want, and it is really a headache.

When she saw that Conan did not speak, she said, "I am leaving, and you will have time to come and sit at my house, which is the house that you can see when you turn a corner." With that, the woman hurried away.

Conan walked up the mountain road. The wind rose in the pine forest, and the wind was like the sound of the waves, and it came and went. There was a little black squirrel, which slipped down from the tree at a rapid pace, and then jumped up and down on the ground looking for something, and when it saw a person, it stood and did not move, and as soon as Conan moved, it immediately ran away, went up the tree, and could no longer be seen.

Conan doesn't feel good in his heart, it's really up and down. Jia Finance and Jia went to his home to get aid materials, used his power for personal gain, and stole from the guards, which was intolerable, but he didn't expect the villagers to do the same! The villagers look at the officers of the management committee, and the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, which is a reason.

Yin Xianren said: "Don't talk about others, aren't there people in our unit who do this?" ”

Conan is very curious, he doesn't know what medicine Yin Xianren sells in his gourd, so far, Conan doesn't dare to say that Yin Xianren is his gang, it is obvious that Yin Xianren will definitely tell Brother Yu what he said to Conan, or to the leader, so as to make a good impression and make Conan not have a good impression in front of others.

In a small unit, there is such a fight, colleagues are inclined to each other, laughing at the poor, hating the rich, the mentality is very bad, I don't realize it, but I feel that I am doing the right thing, for the sake of petty profits, fighting with each other, and even it is not a pity that the fish die and the net is broken. This struggle is between people, not to the heavens, not to the earth, this struggle is going on and on, never stopping.

I went up the road, turned a corner, and sure enough, I saw a house.

Most of the houses on the mountain are blue tile mud walls, and brick houses are rare, the reason is very simple, that is, the transportation is inconvenient, the freight is too expensive, it is better to use local materials, and it is convenient to get it. The more you go to the mountain, the flatter it is, which is in stark contrast to Qian Youyu's family, which is not up or down.

The more you go up the hill, the quieter it becomes, the hostess of the house goes down the hill to the school to deliver clothes to the children, and stays at home to watch over an old dog and a small dog. The puppy barks first, the old dog doesn't bark, looking at Conan and them, what to do next. Conan was very experienced, and let the puppy bark wildly, ignoring it, and the little guy was just bluffing, running over and barking. Conan didn't take the puppy in his eyes and let it bark.

However, you should be very careful with old dogs, dogs that don't like to bark, such dogs are extremely aggressive. It can be said to be a sneak attack, taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, suddenly rushing over and launching an attack.

Because they knew that there was no one in the house, Conan and the others did not enter the house and continued to walk forward. When Conan gradually walked away, the puppy saw that they seemed to be defeated, and became more and more energetic, and hurried to follow, and when Conan stopped, the puppy also stopped, and did not follow, and barked wildly; Conan walked again, and the puppy followed, and so on, and so on, and when he walked a corner, the puppy was afraid, and out of his sphere of influence, he stopped following. As the barking of the dog stopped, Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

They went to a place where there was a high concentration of residents. There are about 7 families living in this area, and they have to share a pool. Conan saw an old man sitting at the door, so he stepped forward to talk to him and asked, "Old man, we are from the Mars Foundation, and we are here to help you make pools, are your pools ready?" ”

"Welcome, welcome guests from Mars, our pool is not ready yet, the earth has been dug up. I'll show you there. The old man said with a smile.

Conan never expected that this old man who looked like he was in his seventies, his ears were not deaf, his answers were smooth, and his speech was clear.

The old man took Conan and the others up the hill behind the house, and when they went up to take a look, they found a large pit that had just been excavated. 6 meters long, 4 meters wide, and 3 meters deep, Conan saw that this was amazing, and it was twice as large as the pond pit behind Director Li's house.

The loess outside the pit has become a small hillside, and the people who pick up the soil have already stepped out of a road, which is very hard. At the bottom of the pit, a puddle of water has accumulated, probably due to the rain a few days ago, which did not clear the pit.

"Our ancestors were looking forward to solving the draft problem. I didn't expect that in my generation, I could still see it. The old man said.

"Old man, how long is this year?" Conan asked.

"I'm in my 80s this year." The old man replied.

"Really?" Conan said.

"What am I lying to you for?" The old man said.

"Looks like you're in your 60s at most." Conan said.

The old man laughed and said, "You're out of sight." I'm 86 years old, 87 years old. ”

"Old man, do you have any secrets to longevity?" Yin Xianren said.

"There's no secret. Eat cigarettes, drink alcohol, eat meat, do work, go to bed early and get up early. The old man said.

Conan thought to himself, this man was telling the truth. Living in the mountains, there is no air pollution, no water pollution, no noise pollution, eating your own vegetables, eating your own pigs, staying away from industry, away from supermarkets, but healthy. There is no pressure, doing work and eating, eating, drinking and smoking, it is also entertainment and pastime, watching TV at home, watching stinky and long TV series, and watching the fate of the characters in the play is also a kind of life.

The key point is to go to bed early and get up early, which is something that people in the city can't do. There are too many temptations, too many desires, too much pressure in the city, and often there is no time to relax, and after a long time, you will get sick. When a person is sick, it is easy to lose his life. However, the old man can still see and maintain health, although he has not read any books, but he is more powerful than some readers. In plain language, he said a profound truth.

"We want to thank you!" The old man said.

"You have done a good job, better than Director Li, we don't need to thank us, we want to thank you, we are very willing to improve our lives." Conan asked.

"You are good people, do good deeds, you will be blessed and longevity." The old man said.

"Thank you, old man!" Yin Xianren said.

"Officer Li, that kid is a good drinker, when he was young, he often ran around, often came to my place to drink, and every time he got drunk. Sleep halfway through. His mother-in-law came to look for him, and I said, "I'll go back early." His mother-in-law said she hadn't seen it. As a result, on the way back, I found that the kid was still sleeping in the ditch, and he almost didn't freeze to death. The old man said.

"And then?" Conan asked.

Later, his mother-in-law warned him that if he got drunk like this again and died in the ditch, she would not come to carry him. Let the wolf take it away. The old man said.

"Director Li used to be massive! Drinking is not ambiguous at all. Yin Xianren said.

"yes. He used to be very good, and no one could drink more than him, and he often came to me. Later, when he got busy, it was not easy to come. The old man said.

"It seems that greed can change a person." Conan said.

After they looked at the pool, Conan looked into the distance and saw that several people were busy on the hillside, and this season, it should be the time for field management.

The pool has just started and the earthwork is completed, and the pool of this household cannot be accepted, and it needs to wait until the next time.

Conan saw that there were a lot of cement bricks in the yard, so he asked the old man, "What are you going to do with these bricks?" ”

"Make a pool. Once the earth has been dug up, the next step is to make the pool. This brick will have to stop for a while before it can be used. Said by the master who made bricks. When it's hot, you have to water them, they are more expensive than people. After stopping for a while, you can carry the construction site to build the pool. The old man said.

Conan understands that cement bricks have a curing period, and this curing period is after 7 days, so that cement bricks will be stronger after a safe period. In other words, cement bricks can be set in 24 hours, but in order to make the bricks work to the fullest, they must be maintained for 7 days.

"It doesn't take that long. It doesn't take that long for my family to make bricks. What you did yesterday is ready to go to the wall today. Yin Xianren said.

"It probably has something to do with the climate, you have a low altitude, you have a high altitude here, and there is a big temperature difference between day and night. has an impact on cement bricks. Conan said.

"We've had a very cold winter. It's colder than Officer Li's house, and we are much taller than Secretary Li's house. Further up, there is the old forest, which contains wild boars and wild wolves. The old man said.

"It's been a long time since I've heard of wolves. Is there really a wolf in the mountains? Conan said.

"It's starting to emerge in the last few years. Probably running from somewhere else. There are a lot of wild boars, and they are a scourge of crops. The old man said.

"So, can't you go boar hunting?" Conan said.

The old man shook his head and said, "They're going to take my gun, which I used to shoot a lot." If you have guns, come, and I will give you wild boar to eat. ”

"Why are they taking your gun?" Yoon Hyun-in asked.

"It is said that it is a unified action, and it cannot be fought by itself, but it is necessary for them to organize and fight. I'm also worried that the gun was stolen by the bad guys to do bad things. The old man said.

Conan knew in his heart that this was the latest regulation of firearms and ammunition, and civilian gun ownership required a "gun license" and a permit. Generally speaking, ordinary people cannot obtain a "gun license" without a special relationship. The old man was telling the truth.

At the end of the day's work, Conan and the others said goodbye to the old man and began to walk back. It's cool on the mountain, autumn is strong, and when you get to the bottom of the mountain, it's still summer.

Today's walk, Conan basically figured out the ins and outs of Hupo Village, if you visit or train in the future, this place is no longer unfamiliar.

Yin Xianren followed Conan, still unhappy in his heart, and asked, "Have you never been here?" ”

"Nope." Conan said.

"Then how can you do that? You are in charge of this village, at least you have to go to every corner of the village, and you have not been here until the project is coming to an end. I really don't know how you work in the countryside? Yin Xianren said.

"We didn't plan to do it here, we came to the village to do a centralized drinking water project. The scattered households were not included in the plan, but with some money left, the plan was temporarily changed to take care of the villagers in the mountains. You can also see that the villagers in the mountains need to be bigger, more reflective, and more willing to do it. Conan said.

Yin Xianren wanted to say something, but when he saw Conan walking away quickly, he stopped and continued to complain without saying anything more.

Conan fell into deep thought. He understood that this Yin Xianren was by no means a good type, and he must be very tired and hot from walking today, and he had no place to get angry, so he rushed to Conan.
