Chapter 80: Doctor Mi Guo
Three men got out of the car, two yellow-skinned, Chinese and one white, both speaking English and not knowing what they were communicating.
Seeing Conan and greeting Conan, it turned out that they could speak Chinese, and Yong Zhiyang hurriedly introduced Conan to them. The presentation is in English. Ji Conan didn't seem to understand. He feels like a foreigner in general, but he thinks that it is very good for them to leave their own country and their hometown to go to a country in need to help local people in need develop their economy and improve their capabilities, and their moral standards are relatively high. They are all here to give love. Just like Ji Conan, they left their familiar hometown and went to a strange place to help strangers, all of which are acts of love and worthy of recognition.
Ji Conan's English is very good, when he was in a famous high school, he wrote letters in English and wrote articles in English, and was favored by the English teacher, and his English composition was copied on the blackboard as a model essay for everyone to learn and reference.
This English teacher became the principal of a key high school.
How did the English teacher at that time know that this English writer was useless in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and even wanted to drop out of school and stop reading. Under the persuasion of his family, he barely finished three years of high school.
If there is early enrollment and independent enrollment now, Conan may be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University.
However, fate is different, and it is not so smooth. There will always be some wind and rain, and you may not be able to see a rainbow.
Conan failed to get into college, and was at a low point in his life, just like he was always looked down upon. He didn't study well and occasionally had some regrets, but he immediately returned to normal, as if the college entrance examination was just a fun farce for him.
He doesn't want to change his fate through the college entrance examination, and in general he can have a clear understanding and enough grasp of the future, all the ups and downs and twists and turns are the wealth of life, and he will not retreat because of difficulties.
Conan has a strong foundation in English, and he can occasionally understand some conversations with foreigners, thanks to the fact that he often listens to English radio and has the courage to visit and talk to the project site. It takes courage to learn, and so does practice, language is alive, it can't be limited to written grammar and sentences, you can't just know cloze in the blanks, and more importantly, you need to communicate often in order to progress.
At the beginning, I didn't dare to speak, but with the encouragement and support of the person in charge, I said some learned written words and sentences, and the result was fooled, the difference between written and spoken language is very huge, always making jokes, fortunately, these foreigners are people of faith, will forgive Chinese who do not speak their native language, moreover, they also admire Conan, they can speak their native language, and can speak Chinese, it is really rare.
It is very difficult for foreigners to speak Chinese, but it is not necessarily difficult to reverse it.
Of the three foreigners who went to the pig breeding center just now, two were from the United States and the other was from the Netherlands. They came to China with the same goal, that is, to help the poor and help some people in need.
The pig breeding center is a subordinate institution, headquartered in the United States, and the branch of Sanxi is in Dayuan, called Qingyong Foundation.
The founder is a native of the United States, the grandson of a Christian who came to China to preach on the eve of the Anti-Japanese War. In a small county town on the banks of the Yellow River, the preacher opened a clinic and a school and did good deeds.
It is a pity that he died in a bombing by Japanese aircraft. Fortunately, God loved his family, and a few days in advance, he hired a donkey and sent his three children to Tianjingwei with his wife, and from there he returned to the country.
After many years, the preacher's grandson, carrying on his legacy, founded the Qingyong Foundation, returned to the place where his grandfather used to live, and continued to organize some doctors and caring people to do good deeds on the Loess Plateau.
Today, among these three foreigners, there is no boss, and I heard that he has returned to China.
Two of the three are Chinese-Americans, one is a doctor and the other is a former HR executive at a large company. With love, they all left the United States, left their comfortable homes and rich farms, and came to Sanxi to serve the villagers here, train doctors, help farmers develop breeding, and set up mobile libraries, send books to the countryside and other public welfare activities.
Conan saw them say hello and went to get busy.
One after another, people came to the center, and the trainees from different places, both men and women, most of them had Christian backgrounds. Divided into their respective dormitories, the calm center became particularly lively.
Conan saw that Song Daliang had gotten up, it was cold and biting outside, and the more it was night, the colder it became.
When Song Daliang saw these people, he didn't pay much attention to them, but then again, these people did look like honest farmers at a glance.
Song Daliang is high because he is talented. In addition, he seems to be sick, so he is often in pain, and no one can notice it at all. Anyway, he doesn't like to be public.
The dinner was sumptuous, mainly the noodles from Sankei, which was really delicious. They said that the water of Sanxi is hard, and vinegar should be used to neutralize it, so the vinegar of Sanxi is the best in the world.
When Conan first arrived, he didn't know why Sankei's vinegar was famous, but he just thought it was extra sour.
A bearded man came in from outside, and Yong Zhiyang said, "Master Wang, come and rest and drink some water." ”
Everyone was surprised that such an ordinary person, walking on the street, who is not easy to find, was so respected by Director Yong.
Yong Zhiyang said: "This Master Wang is a boiler burner, if it weren't for him, we would all have to freeze." ”
Master Wang smiled honestly, he didn't like to talk. If you burn the boiler, you will burn the boiler well. His work brings warmth to others, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as helping the indoor flowers and plants, which have long since ceased to exist without a warm environment in the cold season.
There are many varieties of pasta in Sanxi, Conan has heard of it for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really lived up to its name, it was very delicious, and Conan ate two bowls in a row.
The bowl here is also big enough, eating one bowl is a lot, Conan was greedy, and ate one more bowl, the two bowls here are equivalent to four bowls of noodles in his hometown, his stomach is a little unbearable, fortunately, Conan's hometown also eats noodles in the morning and evening, so he doesn't think the power of noodles is how.
After eating, everyone was in the classroom, waiting for the opening ceremony.
The classroom is also a reading room, and the shelves next to it are filled with books on various farming topics.
The trainees were very curious and interested in pig farming. At the opening ceremony in the evening, Yong Zhiyang introduced the situation of the pig breeding center, and introduced the lecturer to everyone, and distributed the content and time arrangement of the training. Yong Zhiyang is responsible for the planning and coordination of the training.
The lecturers are all men, not women. Maybe it's a little hard for women to talk about this kind of class. But this is about pig breeding, and nothing else. The majority of pigs are raised by women, but the majority of those who know how to raise pigs are reversed. It's like cooking, most of the people who cook every day are women, but most of the people who really reach the level of chefs are men. This phenomenon can be extended to many industries. It is often men who do one thing to the extreme.
Fortunately, most of the people who come to participate in the training are men, and it is not the most important thing for women to participate or not.
Above the classroom is a television that can be used to show DVDs, which is also used by the pig center to train local pig farmers. There were no local farmers who came to participate in the training this time, they were all from other places, and it was really fragrant inside the wall. This also made Conan a little worried, how did they talk about it, and why didn't it feel good?
Everyone is very tired, listening to Yong Zhiyang's introduction, it is more verbose, some mothers-in-law, for fear that everyone is uneducated, as if they don't understand anything, they always have to talk endlessly, plus the room is very warm, eat a lot, the main energy is not in the head, in the stomach, the brain is not oxygen, it is this state, it may make people drowsy.
Everyone had great hopes for this training, but the fatigue of the journey had offset some of their enthusiasm and their discomfort with the new environment, which accelerated the pace of ending this opening remarks quickly.
Yong Zhiyang saw these changes and decided to end it early, there was still some content, but when he saw that the situation was not good, he turned around and ran. Yes, this kid is very good at getting things done. Conan secretly admired this guy in his heart.
Just now, Yong Zhiyang introduced that the Dutchman, named Lei Ming, is the boss here. People have the impression that the Dutch are very intelligent and good at raising pigs. In other words, he is very proficient in cattle breeding and other breeding and planting industries.
Lei Ming speaks English, and since he is from the Netherlands, he should know his native language, which means that this Dutch man knows the languages of at least three countries.
Yong Zhiyang made a simultaneous translation according to Lei Ming's speech, which made Conan especially admired. This guy has learned English so well, no wonder he, as the most effective cadre in this center, has arranged everything in the mainland so properly.
Lei Ming fully trusts him, he will come. Even Master Wang, who burns the boiler, is not sloppy, how can such a modest and cautious person not progress?
Song Daliang basically listened to this first lecture on the table, that is, the first lecture at the beginning of the school. He felt useless. On the day of arrival, he retreated, this time to accompany the prince to study. is to accompany Ji Conan to study. He won't learn. When the time is mixed, go back, the person in charge of the unit will not embarrass a patient, and he is very talented.
After the meeting, Song Daliang returned to the dormitory with a blank face, and Conan saw his listless appearance, so he asked him what was wrong, and he said that he felt too tired. Conan asked, "How do you feel about sending you here to study?" ”
Song Daliang said: "I don't have any feelings, I came out to play, I scattered, and when I came here, I was a little disappointed, and I wanted to go back." ”
"If you come, you will be safe, what is the matter when you go back?" Conan asked.
"yes, it's okay to go back. It's better to mix it up for two more days. When you get here, you will be patient, and when the time is over, you will go back, just like going to work. Song Daliang said.
Song Daliang loves to tell the truth.
He is different from Jin Ping, and he is also different from Andre. He dared to express what he really thought from his heart. Some people don't dare to say it, they just say things that are insincere, and they want to hide what is true in their hearts.
Everyone lined up to take a bath in the bathhouse, there are two drum washing machines, but they are labeled, written in both Chinese and English, it seems that foreigners do not like to wash clothes by hand, like to use washing machines, if foreigners come here, I am afraid that this drum will be broken, and it may be rolled to a place with a washing machine immediately. The label says to suspend use. It seems that these washing machines have died and no one cares for them. If lazy people spend the winter, doing laundry is definitely a problem.
Conan had no choice but to take his changed clothes to the kitchen to be washed. Because, there are still people bathing in the bathhouse, but the kitchen is empty, and there is hot water there. Song Daliang simply didn't take a shower or change his clothes. I went to bed. Nothing to say for a night.
In the morning, according to the schedule of work, it is time to eat at half past seven.
Song Daliang still grasped this point well and was not late.
Everyone was so tired that someone snored at night and no one gave advice. For the thin bedding, they all chose to be silent. In fact, the heating in the room raises the temperature of the room to more than 20 degrees, and it doesn't matter if it's not cold at all, or even if you don't cover the quilt.
Breakfast is noodles and steamed buns, this is a typical northern eating habit, Conan can stand it, Song Daliang frowned, and there is no way. He loves rice. It is impossible to cook rice for him alone.
Fortunately, he often endures the torture of illness, and he can stick to this diet, which is better than taking medicine.
After the meal, I began to give lectures nervously, all of which were theories, and everyone took notes in a panic, even if they listened carefully and memorized carefully, they still fell behind a lot.
In the end, Yong Zhiyang said: "Don't panic to remember, just listen clearly, and later, we will sort out the content of the lecture, print it out, and send it to everyone." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, Conan knew in his heart that when he was in class, listening to lectures was more important than anything else, and he often couldn't remember the content when he copied notes, and he didn't necessarily have to go back and look through the notes he copied.
There was rice at noon, Song Daliang saw it, it was rare to smile, and finally looked forward to it, it was like looking forward to the stars and the moon, and the southerners went to the north to look forward to rice, and the pasta was not fragrant with rice.
After all, Song Daliang is a southerner, and it is not easy to see rice, but when he suddenly sees it, he is really happy. It may be that Yong Zhiyang has considered it well and made such an arrangement.
Everyone had a great time, whether they were from the five lakes or from all over the world, they could enjoy this food.
You must know that these food expenses are all self-paid and included in the tuition fee. What you eat is your own, and if you don't eat well, it will affect your mood, and if you are in a bad mood, you won't be able to learn well. If you can't learn well, it's better not to learn. The money is spent, and the sins are still suffered.
For the next few days, it was like this, noodles in the morning and evening, and rice in the middle of the day. Needless to say, the pasta is classic and extreme, but the rice is really not flattering. Southerners can do it casually and do it with their eyes closed, but it's so difficult here. However, when you get to this mountain, you don't sing the song of that mountain. That's it.
Conan can be square, he has to be round, he can do anything, and he doesn't have high requirements for others. After all, it is the unit that pays for it, not out of its own pocket to learn. It doesn't matter if you study well or not, the key is to be in a good mood. The environment here is ok, Conan is not very picky.
In the evening, Shen Jing sent a WeChat message, and Conan was shocked when he read the content.
