Chapter 95: The Man Who Lost His Voice
The person who came was Jia Youniu's neighbor, who lived at the bottom of the slope, and Jia Youniu's cousin, named Jia Youhu, was Jia Youhu's cousin, commonly known as his daughter-in-law, also called his wife.
Ji Conan began to understand what a "cousin" was, and as the name suggests, he couldn't explain it clearly. Can a guest, a guest sitting in the hall, or a guest from outside be called a class? No, it shouldn't be. The more obscure term used here means that the daughter-in-law and wife are both in the house, which is equivalent to the meaning of the people in the house, not only as guests in the hall, but in the hall to entertain guests. When I think about it this way, I understand it, and I'm embarrassed to ask others again, so as not to make others laugh.
After Jia Youhu's family came in, he said, "Haha, I know you. I really didn't expect to meet again, we thought you weren't used to living in the countryside, living in the city, and occasionally coming to the village. It seems that I am wrong, you guys are not joking, you are serious. It's the last meeting in the village, I went to attend, my husband went out to give a haircut, I don't have time, one representative per household, I will represent, right? ”
Jia Youhu's family said, looking at Jia Youniu with a smile, and Jia Youniu nodded. Then, she said to Conan, "I know, you are Mr. Ji, right?" Conan nodded.
She turned to Togo again and said, "You're a multi-technician, aren't you?" ”
Togo said, "Yes, it's okay to call me Xiaoduo." ”
Conan couldn't figure out why Togo was pretending to be modest. It may be that they just met, or it may be that they saw that she is a woman. Togo is born with a set of bones that can change, soft when he sees a woman, hard when he sees a man, and harder when he sees a poor. This is the truth that Conan has been observing for a long time. And the person in charge of the unit has never tried to figure out Togo's temperament and the color of Togo in his life, just like a chameleon, changing different colors with different environments.
"That's right, you have a good memory, it seems that you listened to the main content of the meeting and remember it very clearly." Conan said.
Jia Youhu's family said: "It's okay." It has something to do with your own business, of course, you have to listen carefully, in case you miss it, rely on yourself, you have to take more detours, and the effect is not necessarily good. In this way, since you are here, don't be in a hurry to go, come to my house to have a while, drink some tea, and eat something. ”
Conan said, "No, let's go another day, now that we are neighbors, there will be more opportunities to disturb in the future." We'll be packing up later, we've just moved in, so there's a lot to do. ”
Jia Youhu's family said, "Okay. I'll go back first. Let's talk slowly, and go to my house another day. Talking about it, I'm serious, I hope you don't joke either, I guess you're serious too, that's just great. Okay, I'm leaving, remember, I'm coming. ”
As she spoke, she slipped down like a wind. Ji Conan thinks that she is saying kind words, ordinary people talk like this, if they really take it seriously, I am afraid that it will be embarrassing at that time.
Conan and Togo then took their leave, climbed up the hill, went to their rented house, and began to pack their things. There's nothing to tidy up, travel lightly, there is no baggage, such a thing has been done once, it is not unfamiliar, it is considered to be familiar.
As a social worker who often deals with money people, living in the village, moving is a common thing, it is impossible to live in a village forever, otherwise it is not an external helper, but a local villager, what the local can do, if you still stay in the village and do not leave, it is easy for the villagers to have the idea of dependence, and the project will be "waiting, relying on, and wanting", without the ideology of self-reliance, it will always be a burden.
After doing this, people are very tired. No matter how tired Conan is, he has to write a diary, a habit that has been followed for many years, and Togo is silent, washes himself and goes to sleep. When Conan finished his diary, he washed up and went to sleep, and he didn't have much to say for the rest of the night. When people reach a certain age, they begin to change. It's like when a man arrives at a mountain, he sings a song about it. If you don't change, you may have to go out, because this mountain has the rules of this mountain, and that mountain has the attention of that mountain, and if you get it wrong, the consequences will not be good. It's better to be cautious. The more calm the surface is, the more careful you must be of the dark tide surging in secret. If you're not careful, you'll get caught up in the whirlpool and can't be saved.
Early the next morning, a knock on the door woke people up, and when they opened the door, they saw that it was Secretary Li, and when he saw Conan, he said to Conan: "There is still some cement in the village, which was brought by the Township Water Conservancy Service Department, and is ready to implement the water conservancy project." What do you think?"
Conan pouted inside, meaning to ask Officer Li to ask Togo, who hadn't gotten up yet. Togo's living habits are different from those of Ji Conan. Ji Conan slept late and didn't stay in bed in the morning. Togo goes to bed early and sleeps in the morning. If there is something, it will be stronger; It's okay, it's a self-vacation. Speaking of which, there is no pressure to work in the village, but this is it, and it is more flexible in terms of schedule. You can arrange your own time, whether it's work or life.
This habit has something to do with the person in charge. If the person in charge was there, he must have gotten up; The person in charge is not there, he is the king, he can sleep as he wants, and he can sleep until what time he wants.
Conan is a good man, he can't offend him, originally Togo thought that Conan couldn't get along with him, beware everywhere, or hurt, but he didn't expect Conan to hurt his heart at all, Togo always seemed to be hitting the air with his fists, and he wasted a lot of effort, but the enemy didn't play tricks with him at all, retreated, and stayed away.
Officer Li shouted at the door of Togo: "Mr. Duo, Mr. Duo, have you gotten up?" ”
There was no movement inside.
Officer Li continued, and after five minutes, Togo asked inside, "What's the matter?" ”
Director Li said: "I want to ask, what should I do if there is still a township water conservancy station in the village that is ready to make cement for the project?" ”
"Just ask Mr. Ji, he's in charge of the project," Togo said. ”
Officer Li agreed, and came out to find Conan. Conan had already heard Togo's answer. The morning in the mountain village is particularly quiet, and occasionally a car runs past, and the roar of the motor goes from far to near, and then from near to far, and finally disappears, and the car crawls slowly like a beetle on the mountainside in the distance.
Conan said, "Officer Li, can you wait a minute?" Let's talk about it when Togo gets up. ”
Officer Li had no choice but to wait.
Twenty minutes later, Togo finished freshening up and sat down in the living room. Conan asked, "What do you do with the previous project?" Togo was delighted, and he said, "I let you make the decision, but you pushed it to me, and you were too modest." ”
Conan didn't understand what he meant. After thinking about it, he didn't tell the truth because he was worried that he would be responsible in the future, who would come up with the idea, and who would clean up the mess.
Togo wants others to respect him as a character, but sometimes he doesn't take the respect of others seriously, and over time, there are no more people who want to respect him, and the number of people who don't respect him is increasing day by day, and this consciousness is not implanted in his mind.
Conan thought clearly about this matter, if he did it according to their set, he would have to merge with them sooner or later, and he would have no value of his own independent existence. If it is done independently, then their intervention will be excluded, including those that will be implemented in Hupo village. This is pure assistance from the Mars Foundation, and nothing happens to them.
Thinking of this, Conan said, "I'll ask the technical director of Jian Chang to see what his opinion is." ”
Director Jian Chang answered the phone and said, "Everything is done according to the requirements of the Foundation. The cement is taken away and used in nearby villages in need, which are also water conservancy projects. ”
Conan told this information to Officer Li, and he was very happy and said: "It's solved, cement is indeed a burden in the warehouse, and it is easy to agglomerate after a long time, so you should use it quickly." ”
Conan thought to himself, this is the difference between them doing projects and ours. They do projects, from top to bottom, we do projects, from bottom up, they do projects, one party is willing, the other party is unwilling, we do projects, both parties agree, both are positive. Otherwise, it will not be successful.
If the Mars Foundation doesn't come to the village to solve the problem of drinking water for people and animals, they have been pulling cement for almost a month, and they haven't started using it yet. It is estimated that the villagers did not negotiate well, and would rather waste than start work.
There was a phone call, it was Director Jian Chang, and he said, "Is it Director Li?" We immediately sent a truck to pull the cement, is there anyone in the warehouse? ”
Officer Li said, "Yes." Come here. After Secretary Li finished speaking, he hung up the phone and said to Conan: "I'm leaving, wait for Director Jian Chang to pull the cement, there is no one there." ”
As he spoke, he climbed up the hill, it was really difficult for him, he was almost sixty years old, and he had to climb up and down the mountain, but he loved to drink, and climbing the mountain was the safest, besides, he had been climbing the mountain since he was a child, and it was not difficult to climb the mountain now.
After sending off Director Li, Jia Youhu's family said, "Mr. Ji, Mr. Duo, I'm here to pick you up for dinner." ”
Sure enough, Jia Youhu's family stood in the corridor of the house and walked over with a smile. Conan wondered, how did she suddenly appear? There was no movement at all. It is no wonder that the slopes of the mountains are too steep and the woods are dense, and it is common for a person to suddenly appear in front of him.
That being said, Conan and Togo were not polite. followed her down the hill and went to Jia Youhu's house for dinner.
The meals were already on the table, and each dish was divided into two portions, which seemed to have more dishes for the guests sitting in different positions to eat. As soon as Conan and Togo arrived, they started to eat. Jia Youhu's family got some food, put it in a big bowl, and served it to the people in the next room. Conan didn't see it, only heard the sound of wah-wah, he thought it was an old man, so he didn't care. After eating, the man suddenly appeared in the hall again. He was gesturing to something, and Conan and Togo had already put down the dishes and chopsticks, not knowing what he was going to do.
The mute wears a shabby tunic, and on his feet he wears liberation shoes with holes and exposed flesh, and his eyes are dripping, and he looks smart and powerful. It's a pity that there is a big bag on the head.
Jia Youhu said: "This is his younger brother, when he was four or five years old, he had a fever, and due to inconvenient transportation, he was not sent to the health center in time, and his brain was burned out, so he couldn't speak." ”
Jia Youhu's family said: "He is very smart and powerful, he has done farm work as a top two, and now he lives with us." ”
Conan asked, "What was he talking about?" ”
Jia Youhu's family said: "He asked you if you wanted to drink tea, and he went to pour it for you." ”
Conan said, "No. Conan said, waving his hand at the mute brother.
Jia Youhu's family said, "I'll pour you tea right away." He was a little unclean, he often farmed, and he could not wear clean clothes. We are rural people, don't dislike it. ”
Togo said: "Where, I am also from the countryside. Mr. Ji is from the city. How can you dislike rural people? ”
Conan said, "My father also came from the countryside. I grew up living in the countryside. Nowadays, most of the people in the city come from the countryside. There are no absolute city dwellers in the city. Who knows where their ancestors were? ”
Jia Youhu's family said: "My brother's household registration is in the city. Because of the sentence, his former brother-in-law also divorced him, and the public security also cancelled his urban hukou. Now he is in Nanning, Guangxi, and has found the wife of a public security policeman, who died in the line of duty. What a coincidence. ”
Conan listens to her about her family affairs.
Her younger brother is righteous and squanders his money, and he has many friends, but some of them are not serious and specialize in some car business. One day, they went to work together, and in order to be brave, they called her brother, who was completely regarded as a tiger, and the others were foxes, so to speak, foxes and fake tigers. It's just because her brother is tall and scared when he sees it. These thieves are not big, but they are not small. When the theft was discovered, they immediately showed their knives, and they simply didn't do anything, laundered money one by one, and threatened to let blood if they didn't give money.
In this way, her brother was soon arrested, sentenced to the main perpetrator of the robbery, and unjustly died, with no reason to go. Who let him run into "sweeping away the evil and eliminating evil"! After the sentencing, her brother's family changed dramatically. Her brother and daughter-in-law did not wait for him to be released from prison, so they left for the other side. After he was released from prison, he went to Nanning, where he met his current brother-in-law. The brother and daughter-in-law died and left behind a son and a daughter. After her brother married the policeman's wife, he gave birth to another daughter.
It's a coincidence!
When Jia Youhu's family talked about emotion, he couldn't help but shed tears, the dumb brother was very sensible, brought a towel to his brother, and asked his brother to transfer it to her.
The mute brother is a brother-in-law, and he is very sensible in this regard, and he will never have any direct contact with his sister-in-law. It seems that I haven't been to school, I haven't read a book, but in fact I know etiquette better than some people who have gone to school and read books.
After Jia Youhu's family finished talking about her younger brother, she said that she was willing to marry Jia Youhu on the mountain, because she liked his honest duty, and her own composition was not good, she was a landlord. In addition, her parents are also very picky, even if they are looking for poor peasants, they must also find middle-class and upper-grade characters of poor peasants. Parents took a fancy to one of Jia Youhu's crafts, that is, who is in power on stage, people's hair doesn't matter what politics it is, it has to grow anyway. With this craft in hand, you don't have to worry about food and clothing.
So the marriage was decided.
Although the conditions were more difficult, they still had a few sweet days.
