Chapter 209: Flexible Use
Jia Youniu took the beer and began to drink it, their customs here have been like this since ancient times. Conan has already learned it.
In mountainous areas, the air is full of moisture, and the cold air hits people in winter, and the difference between high and low temperatures is large, and it seems that it is difficult to resist the cold air without drinking, and it is not good to force out the cold accumulated in the body. After drinking, the effect of alcohol, which is much greater, can improve resistance.
Conan knows this, but the way to drink like Director Li is terrifying, it's not called wine tasting, it's called cow drinking, drinking wine is like drinking water, ordinary people can't stand it, and special people have to fight.
The beer has a low degree and a low alcohol content, and it can be dealt with. Like Director Li, using a thermos cup to fill liquor, and it is still Baogu wine, which is even more powerful. No wonder his wife warned him that he would not collect the body if he fell to his death while drunk.
Director Li's wife is tall, strong, and does not drink, so she is in good health. But Officer Li couldn't, he was hurt by alcohol, his liver couldn't work, and his body couldn't do it. I am weak, it is difficult to even take care of children, and it doesn't matter if I have this person in farm work or not. In addition, even with the child, he can't catch up with the child, can't run the child, and the natural management is not in place, and his eldest son is not at ease to let him take it, because he is numb to wine, where he goes, where he drinks, he gets drunk, let alone take the child, he can't even manage himself, if he takes the child, isn't it harmful to the child?
Words are so vicious! Does it work? No way. As usual, wherever he went, where he drank, and where he was drunk, it was strange to say that Officer Li had never been drunk to death, nor had he fallen to death, which made his wife even more unscrupulous, and cursed Officer Li to die more and more. The difficulty is to say this because of hatred, and it is useless for an alcoholic to say it with his mouth alone. In everyone's opinion, believing that the sow can go up the tree can't believe the rhetoric of Director Li.
Ji Conan feels that curses are curses, and the more curses you have, the better you will be fine, and the longer you will live. Because the word that is a curse is "old and immortal", what is that not a blessing? Old, and not dead. Old, it proves that Nanshan is not old, and if it does not die, it is eternal life. Such a curse is actually a blessing, and the more ugly the two people say, the deeper the feelings. Besides, Officer Li is very smart and doesn't quarrel with his wife, so his wife can't fight. If you complain, forget it, it won't be endless, because the grandson is by his side, and the little guy won't stop for a moment as long as he is awake, so that she can't help it, and she can't even quarrel. Unlike the few years when they got married, there were not many people, except for their in-laws, there were only two left, and when they had nothing to do, they would say some gossip, and there were more or less personal attacks in the gossip, in fact, just endure it, and you don't have to lose both. Because life still has to be lived, marrying a man, marrying a man, dressing and eating, that's probably it.
Officer Li reprimanded people outside and sorted out the materials, but when he returned home, he was reprimanded and was reprimanded by his family. The whole material is majestic outside, and it's not as good as bullshit when you get home. If you are majestic outside, you will stop the majesty outside the door and cannot take it home, just like you cannot bring your work home. Work should not be mixed with family affairs. In this way, the efficiency of the work can be guaranteed.
Jia Youniu drank wine and said what he meant. The hostess is very welcoming, usually don't see anyone, can't hear people talking, only hear the water in the river, see people, it seems very kind. It seems that people live in groups, and if they were put in an isolated place, they would go crazy, and they would not be happy on the island, as Robinson did, because it is not uncommon for Robinson to be a believer, a believer, and a man of patience. Conan knew very well that Robinson was the lucky one in the novel, and it was a miracle that he was not discovered by the cannibals. If you insist on **, then you have to wait and see, and you can't solve it for a while.
The people in charge of all the work in the village are reluctant to come to this deep valley, not because of love, there is only one, that is, it is too far, Conan does not want to come, it is too far, it is not easy to come down, it is difficult to go up, the key is not to use the road, rely on two legs to go up and down, and fight against the earth's gravity, of course, it is much more difficult. If you come down, you don't want to go up, and if you go up, you don't want to go down, in short, the mountain is high and the road is far away, which is indeed a test for people to travel.
Conan was still young and could climb mountains, but when he was old, his legs and feet were not dexterous, and the difficulties increased, he would not engage in this kind of work again. Who wouldn't want to be blessed? Who wouldn't want to live on flat ground? For the future, Conan did not have a clear vision, no clear goals.
Of course, if you are used to living in the mountains, if you are not used to moving to the city, or if you are used to moving to flat land, you are not used to it, and if you are used to it, the Three Gorges Construction has been relocated and secretly moved back, after all, it is difficult to leave the homeland. If you can't get a hukou when you come back, it doesn't matter, you just don't want to live on flat land. Flat land and high mountains each have their own benefits. If you want to be quiet, go up to the mountains, stay away from the crowds, be close to the sky, and stay away from people. Where there are no people, there is less right and wrong, and where there are fewer chickens and ducks, there is less dung, and it appears cleaner.
This may have something to do with people's instinctive rejection.
The people in the mountains are slightly better off and do not exclude people who come up from the flat land so much; People who live on flat land are born with a penchant for rejection, both in big cities and small cities. Perhaps, the exclusion of outsiders from the big cities is even more severe. People are like this, for unfamiliar things, there is a process, a process of recognition and acceptance. Recognition does not necessarily mean acceptance, and acceptance does not necessarily depend on it. It's a step-by-step process.
Speaking of the pool, the hostess gushed about the difficulty of drafting.
The previous ballad says:
"I heard the sound of water,
Seeing the flow of water,
The draft is worried. ”
Ji Conan knew very well that when he first arrived in Guizhou, he heard this ballad. He was in the village of He. Hecun is on the high mountain, on the top of Qutang Gorge, one of the Three Gorges, and you can hear the sound of the river lapping on the bank. It's just that the draft is difficult, and it takes three or four hours to go back and forth to the river. The situation here is very different from the situation in Hecun, which is only a branch of the Yangtze River, or even a branch of the branch, not as imposing as the water of the Yangtze River, but a trickle, flowing out of the Guanyin Mountain Canyon. Even in the rainy season, the flash flood broke out, and the water was also held hostage by the Guanyin Gorge, and it was impossible to rush to the fullest.
Maybe it's just that people like this, whether it's a city or a village, the houses in the mountains are probably the same, built by the mountains and rivers, with their backs to the mountains, facing the water, and they can see the water, if they want to get the water up, it's not easy, unless they find a water source in the mountains, otherwise, they have to look at the rushing water under their feet for the rest of their lives.
Conan secretly noted that when he came just now, he found that they had already built a pool. Ji Conan knows that observing everywhere is conducive to the enrichment of work content. With photos, the content of the work report is more colorful. However, there is no special meeting time, so you need to constantly update the work content, and when you reach a certain time, you can organize a meeting, so that you can be prepared, easy to come, and easy to use.
Conan asked, "Did you build a new pool?" ”
The hostess said, "Yes, it was built." We're glad we heard that you came to help us. The distance from my house to the Li Officer's Pool is too far and requires a lot of water pipes. The two of us discussed making our own pool. This makes it convenient to use your own water. We don't expect to help us through you. We've always been ignored and we're used to it. However, when I see you, I feel that it is very helpful. ”
Conan asked, "Do you have any requirements?" About water conservancy projects. ”
She said, "Well, if you're still willing to help us, can you prepare some water pipes?" ”
She added: "Our pool has been completed, and we now need water pipes, which are connected to the pool and distributed to two families, so that it is convenient for two families, how good." There is no need to install a water meter for less than three households, and the two families are humble to each other, and it is estimated that the water in this pool will not be used up, because there is a living spring on it, and the water will continue to flow into the large pool. This is true even during the dry season. ”
Conan thought to himself, it turned out that this hostess was very concerned about the water conservancy project in the village, although it was not easy to go to a meeting, the mountain was very large, and it was necessary to climb the mountain and walk a long way, and it was not very convenient for women to attend meetings at night, for safety, Conan did not reluctantly let everyone participate.
Meetings are generally held in the evening, and the villagers only have time at night, and they have to be busy with agricultural work during the day and have no time. It was not a particularly important meeting, and the villagers rarely attended the meeting during the day. If you want to have a meeting, it is more reasonable to choose to hold it in the evening, and it is also easy to organize. However, in the case of women's requests, it is not necessary. Especially since that incident on the mountain, you have to be more careful.
Even if the hostess doesn't go to the meeting, she understands the content of the meeting and knows the specific requirements of the foundation. For example, if a farmer with more than three households shares a water pool, in principle, a water meter should be installed to strengthen management and ensure that everyone has water to eat. However, if there are less than three households, there is no requirement.
There are exactly two families here, and there is no need to install a water meter. And they didn't let the foundation pay a penny to make the pool, it was entirely at their own expense.
The requirement now is to solve a part of the water pipes.
Yoon Hyun-in said, "We should take extra care of you. Because you live in a remote area, you need help even more. The farmers on the side of the highway will get much more benefits than you, and if there is anything good, it will not be your turn. ”
The hostess said, "It is true! We originally worked together to build a pool, but we didn't plan to ask the foundation to pay for it, and we didn't expect to ask the two gentlemen to solve the water pipes. It's just that Mr. Ji is asking, so I brought this up. Then again, if you're embarrassed, forget it. We'll figure it out ourselves. Still, thank you for the benefits you can bring to others. Solving their problems is the greatest contribution, everyone has water to eat, and they won't think about other people, right? ”
Conan said, "Yes, how nice it would be if all the villagers had such an awareness as yours! If everyone had money, they wouldn't rob and steal. ”
Yin Xianren said: "This is not necessarily, some people like it, because they are born with unclean hands and feet, and we do projects, and the principle is to give half of each." Director Li doesn't seem to have understood until now, the principle of funding we have set, we are eager to ask for new projects, we are not philanthropists, we are just staff of charities. ”
The hostess laughed and said, "What is a philanthropist?" ”
"It's an expert in philanthropy," Conan said. ”
The hostess asked, "That's one of the best industries in the world, right?" ”
"No, the best industry isn't this," Conan said. ”
"What's that?" The woman asked.
"He who does good, who helps others through difficult times. There aren't many people who do this, and a lot of them come in with a work attitude. That is to say, grinding foreign workers, messing around every day, and getting paid when the time comes. Ji Conan explained.
The hostess said, "I see, so where did the funding for your project come from?" You don't print your own money, do you? ”
Conan said: "It was donated by caring people at home and abroad, and we are not a banknote printing factory, nor a bank. We give it to you for free, without expecting anything in return. ”
The hostess said, "I will say that you are not like them." ”
Conan asked, "What's the difference?" ”
The hostess said, "They like to put on a show, and rarely come to the most remote peasant houses like you." Choose a place that is easy to visit, convenient transportation, and do not need to walk a lot of roads. Rabbits like us don't bother to here, let alone others. Only you are willing to do this, the rabbits here are not afraid of people, not raising dogs, this is the world of rabbits, hehe. ”
Conan and Yoon Hyun-in listened to her, and their hearts were sweeter than eating honey.
Conan asked, "So, how many pipes do you need?" ”
The hostess was stunned and did not know how to answer.
Yoon Hyun-in added, "Where is your pool?" What about the water source? ”
The hostess said, "I know, I know, take two gentlemen to see." ”
Conan and Yoon Hyun-in got up and saw that Jia Youniu had fallen asleep in the chair.
Jia Youniu was very tired. The sleeping posture is very charming, just an old man, so he won't disturb people like this.
His daughter and son-in-law are both working outside the home. His daughter used to be a private teacher, there were fewer children in the village, the school was merged into other schools, the children were transferred to larger villages, concentrated to study, that's it, it can't be made into a complete primary school, there are only three grades, the fourth grade or above, and you have to change places, farther away from home, you need to walk, too far, you need to walk, these children work hard, parents are also worried, teachers are not easy, her salary is pitifully low, build a house and owe a huge debt, if you rely on the teacher's dead salary, Even if you work until you are about to enter the ground, you can't pay off your debts, such a small salary, not a heart, it is estimated that you can't hold on for a day, but the situation is grim, I have to consider, my parents are old, and I can't meet the living expenses with this money, I think twice, I have to make up my mind, so she had to submit a letter of resignation to the school and go to the south to work.
