Chapter 188: Good reputation
Jia Shan said that he still couldn't write, which made Conan and Yin Xianren really startled, looking at the inscriptions he carved, there were all kinds of them in front of his house, everywhere, and the wrinkles on his own face were also carved out like a carving knife, how could he not write?
Seeing that the two of them were stunned, Jia Shan immediately explained: "It's not that I can't carve, it's that I can't write." ”
Conan asked, "And how did you come up with these tablets?" ”
"I asked a retired teacher to write it, and then I rubbed the words, and before that, I put lines horizontally and vertically on the tablet so that it wouldn't be messy," Jia said. ”
What he said was something that no one had seen for himself, even if it stayed in his imagination.
Conan also regretted that after nearly a year in the village, he came from his house, but he didn't care about people, didn't go to see how they worked, and only went to see it when he was about to leave the village, and it was a last resort, such a thing really shouldn't have happened. Recall that it turned out that the noise and dust there were prohibitive.
The noise is that the electric carving knife is grinding and carving on the stele, and the resulting stone powder is flying, making people dare not approach, the strange thing is that Jia Shan, who carved the stele, is not wearing a mask, no wonder his strength is getting smaller and smaller, and his voice is not loud. Conan had a terrible guess that maybe he had pneumoconiosis, which is most common among workers exposed to dust in mines, and that there was no cure for it. Because there is only deterioration, there is no sign of improvement. This disease is actually an occupational disease, which is irreversible. Once you have pneumoconiosis, you have to count the days with your fingers day by day, and then it becomes more and more painful, and it cannot be cured without medication, no matter what method is adopted. Because people's lungs are too fragile, just like tofu falling into ashes, they can't be patted, beaten, or washed. Tofu can be washed, but you have to be very careful, maybe it won't be clean. Once the lungs are invaded by dust, there is no way to clean them. I can only watch people lose weight, people are emaciated, and eventually they will die.
Thinking of this, Conan hurriedly asked, "Have you had a physical examination recently?" ”
Jia Shan said: "The lives of our people in the mountains are cheap, if they want to die, they will die, and if they die, they will be buried on the mountain, and this will be over." I usually don't go to the hospital, I don't go to the hospital for minor illnesses, and I don't go until I'm seriously ill and dying. If you want to survive, you have to work, and you can't take care of so much labor. ”
Conan listened to it and sighed, Yin Xianren didn't care, he said: "Farmers are like this, the farmers in our hometown are similar to this, farmers are at the bottom of society in all dynasties, no matter what industry he does, his identity has never changed." ”
Yin Xianren knew what Jia Shan was most concerned about, he said: "Contractor labor and materials, package installation and package care, how much money do you think is appropriate?" ”
Jia Shan said: "You are doing good deeds, and I also do good deeds, and the price is 1,000 yuan." ”
Yin Xianren said: "That's right, it's this price, the deal!" ”
Conan was confused, he was very insensitive to this price, forget it, since Yin Xianren has taken the lead, just decide, no matter who decides, it must be decided, it is the institution that pays for it, and it doesn't even cost anything, because of Yin Xianren, everything will be simple. Yin Xianren's power was used, although he was sent to study, but in fact he was to supervise Conan, and he was inconsistent with what he was doing, selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, which was the usual method used by the head of the agency. Conan will get used to it. See clearly, figure it out, and know what's going on. Don't believe what you say, believe what you do. It sounds good to say, but if you can't do it, it is equal to saying it in vain. If you don't do things, you lie, and if you don't say anything, it depends on what it is. Don't say good things, it's really good deeds. Don't say bad things, because you are afraid of being punished. In short, Yin Xianren is here to supervise Ji Conan, and the person in charge of the agency also means this, worrying that Ji Conan will make mistakes, especially in the face of a large amount of money, it is not easy to control himself. In the absence of supervision, people dare to think and do anything, in order to keep Ji Conan from going down the wrong path, let Yin Xianren supervise, Ji Conan can figure it out. Even though Ji Conan is very clean, there are still people who gossip. It's inevitable. Because the mouth is on others, what do you want to say, people have the right to speak freely and cannot interfere. If you understand some parts and don't understand all of them, I'm afraid it will be one-sided to draw conclusions, but Ji Conan can't care so much, he obeys the arrangement of the person in charge of the unit, and lets him do whatever he wants.
Jia Shan has two sons, the younger son went to a technical school and was arranged to work in a southern city, but because he was a minor, he did not sign a labor contract, and the school received the internship fee on his behalf, and the school was very profitable.
The eldest son is digging coal in a mine in Inner Mongolia, and it is also very hard, and his life is in danger at any time, but when he looks at the house in his hometown, he no longer complains about anything, for money, in order to change the status quo, he has to gamble.
Speaking of the current situation, Jia Shan's family is indeed not rich, the earthen wall house, the earthen wall is mixed with some small stones, the dark yellow slightly red wall, when making the house, it is more neatly sandwiched by the template, it seems that the house is still done with heart. Perhaps, the local villagers have this technology. I don't know how long this technique can be passed on. I don't know if I want to apply for an intangible cultural heritage item.
People in the mountains are real, do things seriously and steadfastly, do not cut corners, do not steal treacherous tricks, 1510, from the construction of the house can know some, this is at the beginning, I don't know how the people's hearts are now, there may be changes, the times are changing, people's hearts will also be affected, and now the highway is open, people have expanded the scope of exchanges, and it is inevitable that there will be some suspicions of fraud in the process of mutual interaction. At that time, to make such a mud house, it was necessary to work together to succeed, to cooperate with each other, and to be very tacit. It's really not easy to make a house like this.
Behind his house, he raised some piglets, and I heard him say that they were born by his sow, and these piglets can be sold and have some income. Conan came from the city and didn't know what pigs meant to the peasants, so he was indifferent in the past, because live pigs were rarely seen in the city, only pork strips hanging in the market, or pig bones.
Pigs are the fastest animals for farmers to make money, raising less than a year, or eight months, you can slaughter, sell, exchange money, buy pesticides, fertilizers, or other agricultural materials, there are students can be used to pay tuition, buy seasonings, chicken essence, soy sauce, vinegar and salt, do not produce tea, but also used to buy tea, want to adjust life, buy liquor and beer, drink less, come to guests, have something to entertain, it is a kind of etiquette and generosity.
If you raise a pig, you have meat to eat all year round, and you can grow some seasonal vegetables in your vegetable field, which can be used to entertain guests, which is quite acceptable. If you solve the problem of eating meat, you can also earn some pocket money. In addition, there is lard, which can also be eaten alternately with rapeseed oil, nutritional matching, plus seasonal vegetables, everything, you don't have to worry about what to eat, of course, if you are a lazy person, you have to find another way to eat vegetables.
There is a saying in the countryside that "if you want to get rich, you must first raise pigs", which is very reasonable. Pigs can bring wealth, and if farmers want to turn over and solve economic problems completely, they need to raise pigs. Raising pigs is a shortcut. However, it is true that raising pigs is not easy. It takes a lot of hard work. It also requires a large investment of money and energy.
Conan's associative ability is very strong, and a series of questions have been thought of, but it is not enough to think about it, and the task still has to be completed, so he handed the inscription to Jia Shan, and he said: "Okay, I will give this thing to that teacher and ask him to write it." ”
Conan asked, "Are these carved words and the words being carved by the same teacher?" ”
Jia Shan said, "Yes! He went to a private school, and when he was a child, he used a brush to write, and he wrote well, but I could only carve, not write. If I try my best, I'll be fine; If it's about doing light work, I can't do it. ”
Yin Xianren said: "Learning calligraphy is not light, it requires hard work, and it is not possible to write it in a day or two." ”
Conan said, "Yes! Calligraphy is a difficult thing to master. ”
Jia Shan said: "I don't know what calligraphy is, I only know the words written by the teacher, I carved it, it is easy to recognize, beautiful, and some people are willing to buy it, even if it is successful." ”
Conan didn't know calligraphy, so he couldn't say anything. If Brother Yu is here, he will definitely have to comment on it, he thinks he knows calligraphy very well.
After explaining, they were about to leave, and Jia Shan said, "You guys pick a stone tablet first, I still draw a grid, and I'm ready to write." ”
Yin Xianren picked a piece of stone, and Jia Shan asked again: "Are you going to put it vertically or horizontally?" ”
Yin Xianren said: "Put it vertically." ”
Jia Shan listened and shook his head.
Conan said: "It's a bit like a traditional tombstone when it's placed vertically, and the monuments we made in Chadianzi and Baiquansi Village are horizontal. ”
Yoon Hyun-in listened, his face darkened, and he didn't speak, and Conan obviously felt that his breath was short, and it was obvious that he was angry. But Conan can't care about that much, if the stele is put upright, foreigners don't understand, but donors, most of the donors are Chinese, Chinese customs and habits, not a generation or two can be changed, for tombstones and monuments, they can still distinguish. Foreigners don't understand, post the photos on the Internet, donors will definitely put forward their opinions when they see it, and do good deeds themselves, how can they be set up by others as a tombstone, isn't it smiling and generous?
Conan is not good at talking to Yin Xianren in detail, after all, in front of outsiders, the more he describes it, the darker it becomes, and the more he talks, the more he looks ignorant, so he simply shuts up and gives Yin Xianren some face, lest the villagers think that Yin Xianren doesn't understand anything and looks extremely shallow. And now that the stone is ready, it will take some work to carve and polish the inscription, so they plan to come back in two days.
Two days later, Yin Xianren and Conan came to Jia Shan's house to see the progress of the carving of the stele.
Jia Shan is busy, today he wears sunglasses, and he looks cool. Yin Xianren shouted loudly, and he heard that the decibel of the grinding machine and the engraving machine was too high to be heard without making a loud sound. Jia Shan turned off the power and asked, "Is there something wrong with the two gentlemen?" ”
Conan said, "Let's see the progress. ”
Jia Shan said: "No, the inscription has been written, half of it has been engraved, and in two days, it will be completed." ”
Yoon Hyun-in said, "Good! Please let us know when it is time to install it after completion. ”
Jasan said, "No problem. Director Li also came to me and said, you are doing good deeds, we all have to learn from you, occupying the land of a palm-sized place, it is nothing, and I am willing to contribute. ”
Conan thought to himself, this Secretary Li is tricky in his mouth, but he is okay in his heart, and he also talks about his conscience. But what was his motive? Is it the bad heart of the institutional leaders or the bad heart of the village leaders? Unknown. If Officer Li is used by Jia Xinyi and set aside by Jia Cishan, then Director Li is innocent, but this may be almost zero. Jia Xinyi didn't have the acquiescence or authorization of Director Li, and he didn't dare. Jia Xinyi didn't have Jia Cishan's support, and he didn't dare. In this sense, Secretary Li is not perfect, not a good person.
Applied to the person in charge of the institution, Feng Feifei's fat girl from the beginning, did not think that the institution is a charity, but a company that can make money or provide her with convenience, as for doing charity, it is a beautiful excuse, borrowing this beautiful halo to collect donations from donors, so as to strive for more money, to achieve their own private goals, in this way, fame and fortune, why not?
Conan thought of these and summed it up that people, who do not care about good or evil, do not listen to what they say, but watch what they do; Instead of watching it perform in front of people, we can observe what it does and say behind it, or see what it is doing and saying when it is alone through a hidden camera. A wise man not only listens, but also sees, and a wise man not only sees, but thinks. Of course, none of this is groundless. This act foreshadows the next action, and the spoken words imply the unspoken words.
Conan and Yoon Hyun in left Jashan, he was too busy, and after saying something inconsequential, they left, and Jasan continued to be busy.
Two days later, Jia Shan called Yoon Hyun In. Because Yoon Hyun-in left him his number, there was no Conan. Conan was happy to have one less number and no burden.
Jia Shan said: "Today to install the monument, please see if there is anything wrong. ”
Conan listened to what Yoon Hyun-in said, so he went together.
Sure enough, the drinking water monument has been completed, the foundation for installing the stele has been dug up, and the base is being pulped.
Yin Xianren looked at the inscription, there was no mistake, and he said, "It's okay." ”
Conan read it, and some punctuation was wrong, but since Yin Xianren said yes, then it was okay, and he didn't bother to correct it.
Besides, this stele is like a prop for acting, as long as it can cope with the acceptance and can be maintained until the time when the acceptance team arrives, the mission of this stele will be over, and after the project is withdrawn from Hupo Village, it may not go back in this life, and it doesn't matter if the stele is seen or not, poured or not.
There is also the self-righteous Yin Xianren, who is pointing fingers in front of him, and likes to be the boss, so let him be the boss, so as not to be angry like a pig killing a pig, why bother to be boring? What's the mountain of flames that can't be passed?
Conan thought so much that he kept silent, waiting for them to lift the stele to the pedestal, and then paste the cement mortar and tiles on the pedestal, and the drinking monument was completed.
