Conan thought to himself, this Jia Mingzhu is really out of the way! Even the old book was taken out, and it seems that the pool is covered with determination and must be done. While Conan is still in the village, hurry up, if you miss this village, you will lose that shop, you really have to grasp it. This big pool of water containing the sun and moon is actually the eternal pain in his heart, only Ji Conan can treat it, and no one else can.

Jia Mingzhu said: "I will find a master to process wood tomorrow, and these expenses, including the cost of buying small hardware such as nails, will be recorded one by one, and there will be no mistakes." If I have no experience at the beginning of the project, but after a few months of training, I have also understood something, Mr. Ji, please take a look. ”

"Aren't the nails prepared by the farmers?" Conan asked.

"No, this amount is relatively large, and there are not many in ordinary farmers. If it is not enough, it will be a waste of time, and the gains outweigh the losses. Jia Mingzhu said.

"Well, you arrange it first, remember, don't exceed the budget, if you do, there is no hope of applying for a new project. In other words, you have to figure out the overspending part. Clear? Ji Conan said.

"Okay, I'll try to economize, and we'll think of a way to do the excess." Jia Mingzhu said.

After Ji Conan heard him say this, he didn't comment much, but said calmly: "It's not easy to do projects now, it's good that you can understand." It is worth affirming that you are willing to make sacrifices for everyone, which is good and worth learning from you. ”

"That's as it should be. Mr. Ji will see it. You can come and see it when I'm done. Jia Mingzhu said.

Conan remembered that at the beginning of the project, Jia Mingzhu used cement tickets as favors, which almost wiped out the army, and the project was almost aborted. If you want to complete the project completely and get a perfect score, it is estimated that it is a little difficult. However, before the project is withdrawn, it is a direction and goal to make a good impression as much as possible.

Conan left Jia Mingzhu's house, walked all the way, thought all the way, didn't know whether Jia Mingzhu was true or not, whether it was true or not, look at the action, the action can prove what he said, you can't believe what he said, you can believe what he did.

To-morrow they were going back to the city, and it was already arranged, and they prepared the formwork and covered the pool, so that Conan could go home and see his wife and children, and I wonder if they were still used to it. Conan thought to himself, if he doesn't go home to see his children, he is not like a father, and he has not fulfilled his father's responsibilities.

Conan called his wife and asked, "How are you and the kids?" ”

"I just miss you, everything else. It would be nice if you could come back, it's the same as in my hometown, it's no different. It's still a separation between the two places, it's really better not to come. At home, there are children's grandmothers and neighbors who can talk, and I don't know anyone here, so I feel very lonely. Isn't your mission done yet? When will you be back? His wife said.

"I'll go back when the work in the village is arranged. I still have to give up my small family for everyone. I also want to watch over you every day, but I can't do it, I hope you understand. If the work is not done well, it will affect the evaluation, and if the evaluation score is not high, it will affect the income. I hope you understand this. Conan said.

"Ignoring a small family, it is actually not suitable for everyone, people are selfish, and they can't take care of their own homes, how can they take care of other people's homes? Think about it, isn't that the truth? You see, many men don't abandon their families and focus on their work, right? His wife said.

"It's really hard to say, if you want to say love home, our family has a fine tradition, that is, we love our family very much, everything is for the family, and we work hard outside, but also want to make our family more comfortable. If you don't love your family, you can't love the people in the community, and if you don't treat your own family, how can you be good to the people in the community? Do I reserve my opinion? Conan said.

Conan's wife talked about her son again, there were many topics, and when Ji Conan asked about the specific situation of her son, she answered some things about her son one by one, and Conan couldn't wait to return to the county seat immediately and see his son.

After staying in the village for one night, Conan thought that the project was about to be withdrawn, and he hadn't even seen what the town of Crossing the River was like, and if someone asked in the future, "Where are you doing the project?" ”

"Tiger Slope." Conan replied.

If people like to ask, the next thing is: "Where is the tiger slope?" What's nearby? ”

Conan wanted to say that he was near the river, but people didn't know what the river crossing was, and Conan hadn't been there, so how could he answer?

When Conan first visited the town, he visited Nongshen Creek and heard that the upper reaches of Nongshen Creek was the town of Duhe. The work is well arranged, and I feel a little relaxed in my heart. Potential dangers are left behind, and what the future holds is left alone. What should come will always come, and you can't hide from it. It's better to face it bravely. Furthermore, tomorrow will have tomorrow's worries, today's difficulties can be solved today, don't be afraid, it's useless to be afraid. In the last days of this world, no one is perfect, everyone is responsible for what they do, they need to pay an account, and there is no fish that slips through the net. Of course, it's not easy to be grateful every day. In good times, you can do it, and it is relatively easy, in bad times, there is no way or it is not easy to do it, and this requires effort.

The water of the town of crossing the river flows into the Nongshen Creek, plus other streams from the Saunshen Frame, merge into a small river, the small river flows, gathers less into more, it becomes the famous Nongshen Creek, to the Yangtze River, connected with the outlet of Wuxia, the Nongshen Creek looks like an ocean.

Conan wants to go back to the county seat of the small town, and he has already walked the road many times, and if he wants to try to take the waterway, that is, he has to take a boat to the town of crossing the river to get to the small town. Conan often travels by car, which runs back and forth between the river crossing and the town, providing an alternative for those who don't want to take a boat.

Since this decision was made, Conan finished his work notes, wrote another diary for the day, read professional books, read a few chapters of the Bible according to the plan, then listened to the radio, and went to sleep. There are very few cars to cross the river at night, almost none. The night in the mountains is thick, the stars are bright, but the moon is dim. Occasionally, dogs barked, echoed through the valley, and then fell silent again. It was a very good night, and Ji Conan enjoyed this tranquility, which allowed him to write a lot of words. As for whether it is published or not, and who the text is for, I don't particularly care. This concept has always influenced Ji Conan, of course, there is a need for a channel for publication, but working in the mountains, there is no way to get the guidance of relevant teachers, so you can only cross the river by feeling the stones, and while moving forward, while summarizing lessons and lessons, you will not make progress without paying some tuition.

The next day, just after dawn, Conan got up, packed his things, got some breakfast, and stood at the door waiting for the car, which was bound for River Crossing.

When I was waiting for the car, I saw a person coming from the highway, for Conan, the figure was more familiar, the morning in the mountains was a little mist, and Conan's eyes were short-sighted, it was not easy to see clearly, Conan guessed that the person was Jia Mingzhu.

Sure enough, he approached, Conan looked at it, and asked, "You're early, Director Jia!" ”

Jia Mingzhu said: "Morning, Mr. Ji! I'm the fake director. Where are you going so early? ”

Conan said, "Don't use the word 'you' to kill me!" ”

"We're used to using the word 'you'. I hope you don't get offended. Jia Mingzhu said.

"What are you going to do so early?" Conan asked.

"We countrymen get up early in the morning, and there are others who are earlier than me. I went to Jia Youniu to borrow a big saw. Jia Mingzhu said.

"What are you doing with a big saw?" Conan asked.

Jia Mingzhu said: "Change the wood. The wood I showed you yesterday is going to make coffins for me and my wife, use them first, it seems that I can live for a few years, my wife's body is quite tough, in recent years, God is pitiful, just don't take us away; As for the coffin wood that has already been used, we will talk about it later. ”

"Your son is very successful, he will think about you, and he will do his best to support his old age." Conan said.

Jia Mingzhu said: "Don't mention it. My son lives in the county town and wants us to go, we go to live for a while, we are very uncomfortable, and come back. It's better to live in a mud-walled house. The small town is very lively, there are many people, the place is small, the house is small, and I don't live in the country at ease. ”

"That's it. I won't delay you, you go and get busy, call if you have something. Conan said.

Jia Mingzhu said: "Okay, I'm really sorry, I didn't know you at first, I knew that you were here to do practical things, and I thought you were a grassroots organization officer. I hope you will stay in the village for a few more years. ”

"Forget about the past, don't mention it again. The key is to complete all the projects in the next few months, do their best, and do their best to do a good job, so as to pave the way for the future to stay in the village and continue to implement new projects, which can also be used as a model for future generations to refer to. Conan said.

"Yes, I'm going, you can take the car to cross the river, take the boat back, maybe the car is coming soon." Jia Mingzhu said.

Conan said, "Okay, thank you for the reminder, I'll wait." Go ahead. ”

Jia Mingzhu shook hands with Conan and left.

Conan stood there and waited, thinking to himself that Jia Mingzhu was actually busy with his own business. The big pool is on the hillside behind the house, and it's the closest to his house, so it's no wonder how positive! As the saying goes, "If a man is not for himself, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!" "It's not for nothing.

Conan was stunned for a moment, and a van "quacked" in front of him and asked, "Where to go?" ”

"Go to River Crossing." Conan said.

The driver said, "Get in the car, I just went there to pick up people." ”

Conan got into the car and looked at the door again, it was already locked, there was nothing of value in the house, but if it was burglarized, it would be unpleasant.

The car starts and climbs up the mountain. It's another world, first climbing, after turning a few mountain beams, it starts to go downhill, until you reach the bottom of the mountain, there is a winding river, the bed of which is bare with stones and some fine pebbles.

On the banks of the river are small market towns, with new-age buildings with tiles and windows made of steel or aluminum, as well as antique houses, cabins or stilted buildings from the past, built along the river, after many years, it is impossible to verify, but it is an indisputable fact that they are still playing a role.

The surface of the river is sprinkled with a layer of gold, sparkling and jumping, and it glows seductively, and one cannot help but think of how pleasant it would be to walk by the river one day with your loved ones.

Conan got off the bus, and when the car reached the terminal, it didn't go any further, and if he wanted to take the boat, he had to change to another car to go to the dock.

Conan saw someone come up and asked, "Did you go to the docks to take a boat?" ”

Immediately, a few people responded, saying, "Let's go, how much is a person?" ”

The man said, "It's not expensive, three dollars per person." ”

Someone countered and said, "Do you want to bring the binary belt?" ”

The man said, "It's not easy for us, the three yuan is the lowest." ”

The counter-offer said: "It's only three yuan to take a boat so far, and you need three yuan for such a little road?" ”

The man said, "It can't be compared, the more people there are on the ship, the more people there are, the more money there is, how can my van compare with the big ship?" Okay, forget it, small profits but quick turnover, you all get in the car, one person and two yuan. ”

Conan also got into the car, which quickly filled up and headed for the docks. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, a sentence says the unpredictable mountain road, really, when there is no way to go, the driver can always find all the way, for this road, the driver is very clear, he relies on this road to eat. Walking up, the car was bumpy and bumpy, probably considering that this road was also used temporarily, and there was no way to repair it.

The water level of the Three Gorges Reservoir will rise, and when the time comes, the road may be flooded, and the investment in maintenance will not outweigh the losses.

The road is quite difficult to walk, the driver wants three yuan is not too much, it is the passengers who are excessive, then again, this is business, just like the relationship between Zhou Yu and Huang Gai, it is understandable, to put it mildly, or people do not have much money in their hands, and it is not difficult to understand the thrift and stinginess.

The car arrived at the wharf, the driver collected the money, got off, the boat has not come, a group of people have been waiting on the wharf, scattered in all corners of the wharf, the wharf is also a simple wharf, the reason is also about to be flooded, the water in this place is relatively deep, it is a good position for barges. The bluestone slabs have been ground very smooth, wet with water, and the shadows of people can be seen.

It didn't take long for the boat to come, it was a motorized boat, made of iron sheets, it could carry almost 200 people at a time, such a boat, not a tourist boat, the function was to facilitate people's travel, but the waterway it took was precisely Nongshen Creek.

Saturnalia Creek existed for many years. When he first visited Guizhou, Ji Conan hitchhiked and played here with the person in charge of the institution. At that time, it was completely touristy, not in a hurry, there was a sense of superiority, I felt that I was a distinguished guest, and I was valued, and I inevitably felt some pride in my heart. Now, I am a passer-by, a staff member from the project village to the county dormitory, and my identity has completely changed. This made Conan a little disappointed, but he was immediately satisfied.
