It turned out to be a small snake! Scary little jump! Maybe it's too hot outside, and it comes in to cool off. This house, which is cooler, half of it is dirt walls, it is very thick, after Conan found it, it slipped away, Conan did not want to hurt it, it did not hurt Conan after all. The snake is very cautious, and when it finds that it has not been harmed, it will slip away first, and if the person repents, it will be difficult to save his life. People are the easiest to repent.

Conan prepared the cover, opened another book, and began to look.

It's thousands of miles away from home, but under the same blue sky, you can always learn something new.

There is no limit to the space of knowledge.

There is no time to study, morning or evening. Conan heard that Yan Hong's son was tested here, although Conan has passed the best age to study and prepare for the exam, but in order to avoid Alzheimer's disease, he must insist on studying and reading, so that his brain cells are in a state of excitement, or in a state of constant renewal, to ensure that his brain cells are active, and he will not be unable to understand the conversation of young people in the future. It is certain that there is a generation gap with young people, and it is better to hope that the generation gap is shallower, otherwise, there is no hope of communication.

The books that Conan read were some professional books, but he didn't expect that there were many useful books in the bookcase of Yan Hong's daughter's house. It seems that his son-in-law is not a waste material, but a guy with a smart mind. Know what to do in the future, and know which line of work will not be unemployed.

It's a pity that most of them are dusty and flipped through casually, textbooks account for most of them, and there are also some inspirational books and some songbooks.

Conan thought to himself, these textbooks must have been used by children, and these songbooks were probably read by the child's parents, maybe the child's father.

Conan didn't touch any of the landlord's books, but those books more or less represented the owner's interests and pursuits. Some people like books, read books as books, and pursue the truth. Some don't, they treat books as window dressings, decorations, and appear to be very knowledgeable. Especially those who use the bookcase as the background to accept the reporter's interview, generally do not read much, because of the lack of reading, so use the bookcase to cover up and decorate, the purpose is not to shame people, but to scare and confuse people. Of course, the idea of these people is very simple, that is, what is lacking is to make up for it, and what is lacking, to cover it up.

Conan believes that the man is a smart man, and he is a person who loves to use his brain, and does not want to live a mediocre life. But then again, he's a lazy guy again.

This laziness should refer to physical laziness. Some people love to use their brains, but they don't like to use their hands; Some people love to move their mouths and don't like to act, these people account for a large part of society, to put it simply, they can't come when the head goes to the body. Really, if you have intelligence, you will eat intelligence, if you have strength, you will work hard, and if you have something, you will rely on it. Some people are born afraid of contribution, only wisdom and brains to make money. Some people don't have the brains to make money, they can only rely on their limbs to make money, there is no endless way, you can do anything, God will not let a righteous person beg for food.

While Conan was reading a book, Togo returned.

When he saw Conan there, he said happily, "You're finally here." I was just about to call you. ”

"Are you willing to call?" Conan asked.

"How reluctant, for public affairs, call when necessary, for private matters, there is no need to call. This is the principle. Togo said.

Conan thought to himself that Togo also has principles, and his principle is mainly for the private and secondary for the public, and the two are weighed again and again, and the greatest thing can be done at the least cost. It's a choice you make after a lot of life experiences. He believed that Togo had made no secret of what he had said when he said this.

Togo couldn't be idle, he began to prepare dinner, Yan Hong's family gave some dishes, including pumpkin flowers, Togo said: "Pumpkin flowers are delicious, fragrant with sweet, sweet and fragrant, this thing is nutritious." ”

"Okay. I'm sorry for you. Conan said.

When she was preparing, Yan Hong's family came, and she said, "Mr. Ji, Mr. Duo, stop cooking, come to my house to eat tonight." ”

"I'm sorry to bother you often, so I won't go tonight." Togo said.

"How? Mr. Ji is very interested in pumpkin flowers, I have already made it, let's go and eat some by the way. She said.

Conan thought, it's hard to be gracious, it's not good not to go, it's not the first time to eat, the people here are hospitable, Yan Hong's family is an obvious example, last time I invited to eat, this time I invited to eat again, I didn't want anything in return, and I didn't make any special requests.

There should be no pressure to go to her house for dinner. Besides, I just gave some rent, but I haven't paid a single rent since I moved in. Why don't you rent it today?

Conan thought of this and said, "Okay, we'll be right here." ”

Yan Hong's family left.

After she left, Conan discussed with Togo and said, "I think, Yan Hong's family is not bad to us, why don't you give a month's rent first, what do you think?" ”

"Of course, that's good, if you pay the rent, you don't owe anything to others, and you can walk on the road freely." Togo said.

Conan and Togo had agreed that after waiting a little, they went out together, closed the door, it didn't matter if the lock was locked or not, there were no thieves in this place, so they went to Yan Hong's house together. Yan Hong had just come back from outside and was sitting in the courtyard smoking.

He is a retired forestry worker, his face is dark, and after retirement, he is still engaged in agricultural production, although tired, but his heart is relaxed. The children are all profitable, he has a monthly retirement salary, and he doesn't have to spend money to buy vegetables in the countryside, but he has to work harder.

Yan Hong is old, he feels tired when he does something, he is idle and panicked when he doesn't do things, he does farm work purely for exercise, and he doesn't expect to have any big income from agriculture, his children are against him farming, let them have a good rest, they agreed, but in fact, it is difficult to give up agriculture, and the two still invest a lot of time.

Even helped their daughters and sons-in-law to manage their fields.

Of course, the harvest also belongs to herself, and it is also very comfortable for my daughter to come back and take some to eat in the city. When the daughter and son-in-law came back, they brought some money to honor their two elders, which was regarded as giving money for food. Under normal circumstances, his son-in-law gave money, and Yan Hong gave the money to his grandson and granddaughter as New Year's money.

Yan Hong is very good at enjoying life, resting when he is tired, usually generous to people, gaining popularity, and treating people more decently in all aspects.

When Yan Hong saw Ji Conan and them, he immediately got up from the chair, greeted them, and then went into the house and took out two chairs for the two to sit on. It's already evening, the sun is setting, but the house is still hot, and there is still a cool breeze blowing in the yard, these cool breezes blow to the body, it is really cool, much stronger than the air conditioner, blowing such a wind, don't worry about getting air conditioning disease.

"We want to give you a month's rent, what do you think?" Togo said.

"We borrowed a lot of money for the project this time, we will pay one month first, and then we will pay three months for a quarter next time, what do you think?" Conan said.

"Don't worry, don't worry, you live first, and we don't ask you for rent. The house is idle and idle, you live, give the house some popularity, the house is inseparable from people, the house is about to collapse without people, such a strange thing has happened in our village. You live in a house, and you're actually helping us. Where is there a hurry to ask for money. You don't have to pay for it. But you said that the unit has regulations and a rent budget, so we will accept it politely. It doesn't matter if it's a quarter or a month or a year. Yan Hong said.

"I know, it's just that according to our rules, rent must be paid first, and this time it's an exception, and I feel embarrassed." Conan said.

"Oh well. Wait a minute, you'll give my cousin a guest. I don't care about the money, she's in charge, and it's not bad to be a hands-off shopkeeper. Yan Hong said.

Conan thought that he said that the cousin should be his wife.

"I would also like to ask you to write a receipt so that we can hand it over to the financial department so that we can keep the accounts. Do you think it's convenient? Togo said.

"That's fine." Yan Hong said.

Conan took out the receipt and asked Yan Hong to sign it, just right, his wife brought tea to Ji Conan and Togo to drink, Togo told her the situation, she was not in a hurry, postponed it, Togo said: "You don't want it yourself, you help your daughter collect rent, they live in the county, and they have to pay rent, right?" ”

Yan Hong's family listened to it, thought about it, and accepted it. Ji Conan secretly admired Togo, although what he said was difficult to understand, in terms of saying reasonable things, it was very strange, and he could understand it. It's a strange thing.

Dinner was very comfortable. After the meal, Conan and Togo stayed at Yan Hong's house to watch the TV series for a while, and after the two episodes were simulated, they returned to their residence and then washed up.

When it was dawn, Conan did not go to Quancun or to the county seat of Xiaocheng, he and Togo went to the pool construction site behind Lao Yan's house to see the progress of construction.

The pond behind Director Yan's house has been slow to start, and the villagers who will benefit from the pool are all looking at Secretary Yan, if Officer Yan is willing to share a pool with them, then they are all happy and have no opinions.

If Officer Yan is unwilling to share a pool with them, then there is a problem. That is, the land where the pond was built belonged to Yan Gongguan's family, and he could ask for a sky-high price at any time, so that those villagers could bear the payment of land compensation, Yan thought about it and thought, according to his usual style, it is very possible to ask for money, but because this is an international aid project, the county branch attaches great importance to it, and he does not dare to make a difference, and wants to see the development of the situation later.

He saw that there were two large pools on it that were about to be capped, and the earthworks of the pools behind Director Yan's house had not yet been settled, and he was afraid that because this pool would drag on and endanger his status and prestige in the village, he came forward and said that he did not want to occupy the land and pay compensation, and hoped that everyone would have tap water as soon as possible.

Since he has expressed his attitude like this, there is nothing more to say. The latest start of the pool earthwork was successfully completed, followed by the entry of sand and gravel, cement allocation, Assistant Tan arranged the cement according to the progress of each village, so as not to affect the construction progress, but also not to affect the enthusiasm of the villagers, so that more villagers can participate in the construction of the village drinking water project.

Togo and Conan returned to their residence, originally Togo wanted to play for a while and then go back, but once he saw Director Wang and Secretary Chen from Quancun galloping over, he changed his mind.

Officer Chen was riding a two-wheeled motorcycle, with Officer Wang behind him.

Director Wang met with Mr. Ji Duo and said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon." There are no good things in the village, so I discussed with Secretary Chen and sent you some chestnuts and a chicken, and you started a fire alone and slaughtered the chicken to eat. We want to thank you. ”

Togo preemptively said, "No thanks. We want to thank you. Think so carefully! ”

Mr. Chen gave us two snakeskin bags filled with chestnuts, and a rooster was tied to his feet and placed in the living room. Secretary Wang said: "I want to go to the town to do some business today, and I will come to see you by the way." What about you, get busy first, we're going to the meeting. With that, they rode away on their motorcycles.

Togo looked at the rooster, and the rooster looked at him, so he couldn't tell the winner in this game, and Togo said, "Conan, do you think it's okay to deal with gifts like this?" ”

"What should I do?" Conan asked. Ji Conan knew that it was best for this matter to be handled by Togo. If you make your own decision, there will definitely be gossip, even if these gifts come from the project village that Ji Conan is in charge of, from the overall situation, they are all projects of the unit, not anyone. The project village that Ji Conan is responsible for can get gifts, which are public, and the gifts that Togo is responsible for are not public and hidden, so Ji Conan can't see them. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Since he saw it, he had a share in it, and Ji Conan asked Togo to deal with it most appropriately.

"Forget the chestnuts, each person takes a bag home, what about the rooster, hand it over to Yan Hong's family, ask them to deal with it, after it's over, we can share it with them, what do you think?" Togo said.

"I think it's okay. It's not easy to live, it's not easy to share, the key is three people, maybe, Shen Jing knows and says that he leaked his mouth, then, the person in charge will definitely blame it, saying that we are greedy and cheap, maybe we will be punished. The rooster can be eaten, there is no evidence to eat, there is no tongue, there is no need to explain anything else, there is no misunderstanding or anything, Togo is very thoughtful, it is best to do this. Conan said.

Then, Togo ran to Yan Hong's house with a rooster, she was feeding the pigs, and when she heard it, she immediately said yes. Togo handed her the chickens and returned.

When Conan saw Togo returning, he wondered in his heart, if Yan Hong's family was in charge, Togo would not do this, but killed the chicken, boiled water to scald the chicken feathers, and then plucked the chicken feathers carefully, giving people the impression of being diligent. It turned out that Togo was made for the person in charge. The presence and absence of the person in charge are two different manifestations.

After Togo returned, he started to call his wife, and he didn't know what he was talking about, and it was very difficult to understand.

Conan sent a WeChat message to Shen Jing asking how the situation was going over there, and she replied that she was unlucky, and Conan couldn't figure out what bad luck had happened to her.
