None of them spoke, only heard someone knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Togo.

Togo smiled and asked, "You guys are too romantic, don't you go out on a date in the middle of the night." ”

Ji Conan said with a smile: "Where, I went out to solve my personal problems just now, and it was quiet in the dead of night, I am afraid that it will affect your rest." ”

Togo said, "Are you all right?" ”

Ji Conan said: "It's okay, it's okay, you go and rest, thank you for your concern." ”

Togo closed the door and went to bed.

Ji Conan was shocked and sweated, Togo is really an old man, he sleeps less, and a little movement can alarm him, is he not sleeping and has been eavesdropping?

He comforted his wife, made amends to her, and hoped that she would forgive.

Then there was another knock on the door, this time quietly.

Shen Jing asked: "What's the matter, one of you is in front of you, one is behind, and you still don't sleep so late." It is really a winged bird in the sky, and the branches on the ground, and the love of husband and wife is endless day and night. ”

Ji Conan's wife liked her very much, so she said: "Look at your mouth, it's really a coaxing death, we are all old husbands and wives, where is it like you, a flower, I don't know which blessed stupid boy can take you home in the future." ”

"Sister-in-law, you, you're so bad, if it's not too late, I won't spare you!" Shen Jing said. She brought it to the door and said "Good night!" ”

Shen Jing went to sleep.

After she left, his wife looked at the door and was distracted, and Ji Conan said, "It's not early, go to sleep." His wife was stunned for a while, and when she had no idea, she stripped to bed and did not take a bath. Maybe I'm too tired, mentally stressed, too lazy to theorize, and have nothing to say all night.

Early the next morning, they were going to the county branch and made an appointment with Lao Tan to go to Hecun to see the completion of the earthworks of the pool.

Pingcun also needs someone to go, Togo said that he would go, and asked Shen Jing to go with him, but Shen Jing didn't do it, saying: "If you go, you won't be able to help, it seems to be in the way, maybe you will be unhelpful." Never mind. ”

Ji Conan, because his wife is still in a small town, he can't leave it alone, and he can't go to Pingcun, for fear that he won't be able to catch a boat to Jiangnan.

Lao Tan also wants to go to Hecun, where in the final analysis is still convenient, although it is necessary to climb the mountain, but it is much stronger than going to Jiangbei, no need to cross the river, no need to calculate the time, and do not have to wait too long.

So they parted on the three forks of the road, Togo to the north, and the three of them to the south, and agreed to meet here in the evening. When they arrived in Hecun, it was 10 a.m., and some of the villagers were eating.

The three of them went to Lao Tan in Yoho Village, and while he was eating, he asked them to go first, and he caught up with him.

The earthwork in Hecun has been completed, and some places do not meet the requirements, so they point them out one by one and set the time to see next time.

The villagers were very conscious and welcomed them to come and see them, and brought out the good tea at home for them to eat. Inviting others to drink tea is not called "drinking", but "eating", which may be a unique ethnic language in the mountainous areas of the central and western regions.

They ate tea and then went to another house, and the other one was the same, although they were very tired, but they felt that the people there were human, and the feeling of tiredness was much lessened.

The villagers said that how to dig the earth, how many leads and materials are needed, the technicians have made arrangements, and they are as diligent as they are, which is gratifying, and the technicians have a sense of responsibility, and they have a lot of lightening in their work. If the workload is reduced, the mood is better, and if the mood is good, they will not think that the salary is so small, and they are still working so energetically, what is the force that supports them to move forward?

The morning was over quickly, and at noon we had dinner at the house of the four group leaders. His house was made of stone, which was relatively simple, but it looked strong and solid, and the walls were blackened with smoke, so that it could not be seen for what it was, but fortunately, the color of some of the stone cracks showed the true color of the stone used for the wall.

Three meals are inseparable from meat, and people in the mountains must eat meat every day, otherwise they will not have the strength to work. They are naturally thin, even if they eat pork every day, but the energy they take in will not remain in the body and will be transformed quickly.

The last time the fat girl Feng Feifei came, lamenting that her body was so plump, it was a burden, and he told her: "If you can, come to the mountains, the mountains and rivers are good, and the people are better, and it is difficult not to lose weight." ”

That fat girl is fat, it really lives up to its name, she has made hundreds of decisions, but she has not succeeded, the execution is not good, and she needs to be supervised by special people. But she doesn't like to be supervised, and when she is used to doing her own thing, it is difficult for her to obey the jurisdiction of others, at least, in the unit, she is the role of guiding others, not the person being guided.

She finally didn't make up her mind, there is still a son at home who needs to be raised and educated, and the raising can be big, but the education is not enough.

He just took it as a joke, she was very busy, she had to run inside and out, she needed guidance, or to blindly command, there was too little time, limited energy, how could she have time to come to the mountains and stand the quiet rural life?

After dinner, they went to the five groups to have a look, and they were all like this, everyone was still obedient, and they were actively and seriously working according to the requirements, most of them were doing things for themselves, and not being serious was equivalent to harming themselves.

There is a family in the fifth group whose earthwork is called "gourd scoop", which is the nickname given by the fat girl Feng Feifei, and they are very impressed.

The fat girl Feng Feifei felt that the earthwork was not well dug, so she vividly compared it to a "gourd scoop", who knew that the farmer was very ambitious, and couldn't stand such public sarcasm and sarcasm, so he was willing to spend money, the money was not enough, and he borrowed money to hire gunners, blasted the stones, and carved and chiseled, and repaired the pit of the pool neatly and neatly, which is very the same thing.

Next time, if Feng Feifei comes to see it again, she will be specially invited to take a photo in front of the pool to see who is more like a "gourd scoop"?

That fat girl Feng Feifei's words didn't matter, which made many people feel useless, and in the end the goal was achieved, but unfortunately it destroyed the harmonious relationship. When they visited that house, he ignored it, just let them see how well he dug up, they only said that they were doing well, but in fact they were doing well, and this was not a lie.

From five groups can be detoured to one group, and then to three groups, the mountainous area is like this, going around and around, and in the end you can always go around, or you can't get around. There is only one road in the mountains, and there are many of them, which can only be known through personal experience. If you look at the terrain and topography from the plane, you can't see it clearly, only a three-dimensional map, or a three-dimensional map, you can see clearly, or you can shoot it with a drone, you can see it more clearly, in the absence of these equipment or conditions, you can only compose the picture by impression to remember the approximate location.

Thinking that it was done, they came down the hill and walked to the turn, where there were shops, and it was a three-way street. They stopped a noodle car, and then went back to the county seat, Ji Conan's wife was at home and had already cooked a meal, but Togo had not returned yet.

Ji Conan called him, and he said that he was on the boat and would be home soon.

This is a lie, he knows the speed of the ship, and it is not an airship, there is nothing to say about arriving home immediately, besides, he still has to take numbness, from the dock to here, I am afraid it will take fifteen minutes at the latest, his words are comforting, the credibility is not high, you can not believe it.

Who knows, while they were gossiping, Togo came back, wasn't he on the boat just now, how could it be so fast? Togo said: "I hope I didn't come back late and didn't delay everyone's dinner." ”

"No, no." Shen Jing said hurriedly.

"Didn't you say that you were on the boat, didn't you sit on a numb three-wheeler?" Ji Conan asked curiously.

"Yes, today the ship is going downstream to do some errands, and just happened to be on the way, so it brought me back. I got out of the boat and came straight up from the river where we lived. Togo explained.

Oh, and they didn't know there was a pier under their house.

Ji Conan came to this place and didn't know a lot about it. It's not that Togo broke in, and I really didn't know that there was a pier under the house, and if there was a pier, you could get on the boat, and when you got on the boat, you could go to the right place you wanted.

They eat together and wash the dishes quietly after the meal. I behave more positively, and I don't complain about being tired.

After dinner, Shen Jing chatted with Ji Conan's wife, Ji Conan studied in the room, and Togo listened to the hand-cranked radio. They all do their own things and do not interfere with each other.

Togo's radio was donated by other caring people in the unit, and I heard that some places in the mountainous area do not have electricity, and it is not easy to buy batteries, so I use this hand-cranked radio to pass some lonely time. Of course, Ji Conan doesn't have this thing. The person in charge of the unit did not deal with the issue of fairness, which led some people to take risks and solve the problem through their own strength. Of course, there are only limits to solving the problem through private forces, and we still need the help of others. This one is a little scary.

Ji Conan's wife told him when she was sleeping at night: "Today Shen Jing told me about her misfortune, and it is estimated that she has hated men to death all her life, and she will never marry a man and have children again." ”

"She treats you as a confidant, this is a personal privacy, and you shouldn't see anyone talk about it." Ji Conan said.

"Yes, she trusts me and knows that I don't like to tell the truth."

"That's good."

Ji Conan and his wife went to the riverside for a walk in the evening.

In the pavilion by the river, he took a photo of his wife, the pavilion is also a pavilion in the water, took a photo, left a souvenir, besides, his wife is okay at this time, when people are old and can't go anywhere in the future, they can take it out and take a look, leave a thought, and it will not be a blank brain, and the days will be in vain.

It can help the brain to activate active cells, much stronger than nothing. He asked his wife to hold the book and took a photo, which looked a little ladylike. In this way, his wife is not around, and he can take it out and take a look, which can be regarded as a comfort.

On the way back, he played crazy with his wife, but he dropped the glasses and broke them, Ji Conan suddenly felt that his eyes were blurry, and he had no choice but to go to the glasses store to change them, the master of the glasses store was not very good, and he did not find the center of the lenses, and he did not grind what should be grinded, and what should not be worn away was grinded, leaving a trademark logo, and then the young man couldn't install the lenses, so he had to ask his father to go out, which was a reluctant errand, and he didn't want to reason with him, after all, he didn't have to do this business for a long time. Give him a chance to correct and gradually improve.

His father felt embarrassed and gave him a pair of glasses and a glasses case, of course, buy one get one free, often the one given is not easy to sell, or the one bought is not good, otherwise he will not do this, and the merchant never makes a money-losing transaction.

At night, when they were sleeping, his wife pestered him again, and he was very tired, but it was difficult to refuse, so he had to reluctantly do it, and when he was done, he fell asleep.

Early the next morning, his wife said that she was leaving, and Ji Conan happened to be going to Pingcun, so she said, "Okay, let's go together." I'll take you to the docks. ”

Togo and Shen Jing went to Hecun today, and Ji Conan and Lao Tan of the county branch went to Pingcun. He knew that his wife was coming, and complained that he didn't tell him, so he could say hello to Mr. Jia and prepare to invite him to a meal, Ji Conan said: "Forget it, there is no time, recently, the project has just started, many things need to be dealt with, and there is no time to take care of the family." Thank you for your kindness, and in the future, if there is still a chance, I will definitely tell you. ”

Lao Tan sent his wife to the dock with him, he said goodbye to his wife, asked her to call him when she got home, and then asked her to wait there for the boat to sail from Fengjie, Chongqing, and they also took a small boat to cross the Jiangbei. When their boat landed on the other side of the river, when they climbed up the slope of the mountain, Ji Conan saw a white clipper coming quickly, and when they arrived at the port of Xiaocheng, the speed slowly slowed down, and finally approached the shore, and when the boat got on the boat one by one, he couldn't see where his wife was, and it didn't take long for the boat to drive away, speeding away on the crooked waterway of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, until the boat sailed through that bend and could no longer be seen, Ji Conan's tears flowed down involuntarily, and he was afraid that Lao Tan would see it, so he quietly wiped it dry. Send you a thousand miles, and there will be a farewell. Ji Conan's wife is no longer good, and she is willing to marry him, not because of love, but because of anything. He works in the mountains, can't be with his wife all the year round, get together less and leave more, it is inevitable that there will be some misunderstandings, after the misunderstanding occurs, it is not eliminated, it is still a misunderstanding, and the contradiction needs to be further resolved. Ji Conan's father-in-law and mother-in-law were not interested in Ji Conan, looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts, and persuaded her not to marry Ji Conan, so that she would be a bachelor for the rest of her life. This time, his wife personally went to Ji Conan's place of work, and saw Ji Conan's work, which can be regarded as relieved, and more importantly, he can reunite with his wife and live a good life, maybe in the future, he will increase the population, bring new life to the small family, and make Ji Conan's home more perfect. With the little one, people's hearts will soften a lot. If you have to move forward, then this is the only way to increase the pressure and generate motivation for Ji Conan.

Then he reluctantly continued on his way.

Lao Tan said: "Xiao Ji, young and strong, it is the time when I want my wife to be by my side, this time, I don't know when you will meet again." ”

"Yes, my wife is from my hometown, and I didn't accompany her well, so let's do more when I get home."

Ji Conan responded, they were talking, and rushed to Ferry Town, wanting to meet Lao Tan's old friend to catch up and help.

As soon as I arrived at the office, a voice suddenly came: "Old Tan, why are you here?" Ji Conan turned his head and couldn't help but be secretly taken aback.
