The departure of the birthday star made Wang Yi think of the story of Yu Qian's grandfather.

It is said that in the year of the catastrophe, there were refugees who fell at the door of the house and couldn't walk hungry, Yu Qian and his grandfather said, "I can't see anyone so miserable, come and two house slaves to fork people out for me, fork far away and don't let me see it."

Actually, he was wrong.

Shou Xing Ye is a proletarian working people, he was born poor and has been poor all his life, but he can't see his comrades living the same hard life as himself.

So he hurried home to get the money, and hurried to the store with a crutch, and said to Wang Yi: "Teacher Wang, don't take Xiaojing's money, I'll pay for what Xiaojing buys, and I'll treat him to a treat." ”

The returning father, who was rubbing the flower cloth, hurriedly refused: "Old birthday star, I should have honored you, but now how can I accept your things?" ”

The birthday star said solemnly: "I have a good life, now I have meat and drink wine every day, what do you honor me?" When I die, you can burn two pieces of paper money for me, your family is in trouble now, I have to pull you no matter what. ”

Wang Yi pulled two pieces of flower cloth for his father and said, "Let's make a dress for the child too." ”

The last time he went to Cam Ranh Island, he saw the two girls in the Hui school dressed in tatters.

These days, children are not very well dressed.

Returning to school, his father thanked him again and again, he held the hand of the birthday star with both hands, and couldn't help but have tears in his eyes: "Old birthday star, you are so good in your team, there are favors, old and young masters, fathers and sons, you are your own family, it's so good!" ”

Shou Xing Ye sighed: "Alas, Xiaojing, in fact, everything is for the poor. ”

Wang Yi was surprised when he heard this.

The old man is really good, and he can still have such a clear mind at this age.

He was right to the point.

It's to let the poor make trouble!

The birthday star paid for it, and Wang Yi pulled a few meters of flower cloth for his father, and the four flower cloths were each one and a half meters, so that he could buy a flower dress for adults and children at home.

When he returned to school, his father carefully folded the flower cloth and whispered, "Teacher Wang, you are literate and can speak, can I ask you for a favor." ”

"What's the busy?"

"Can you go to my house and sit and persuade the child's mother, since the school is gone, the child's mother has been lying on a bed, alas, I look at her and are about to collapse, it is useless for our old couple to persuade him, alas, Mr. Wang, you are a college student, your words have power, you go and persuade."

Wang Yi said: "Uncle, I am willing to help, but my words may not have the power......"

"What can be done, what can be done." Returning to school, my father hurriedly said, "You have the power to speak now, and the people in our team are now very convinced of you, they all know that you have a way and you are a knowledgeable college student." ”

Wang Yi secretly said that the identity of a college student he casually used at the beginning really made a big difference.

After the propaganda of the state, the common people are now a little superstitious about college students.

The birthday star is quite proud of the fact that there is a college student in his later life.

He said: "Xiangwen Tawa, go and take a look, you are educated and a teacher, you were our gentleman here before, you can speak well." ”

Wang Yi had no choice but to put down the work of drip irrigation bamboo tube first, and followed his father back to Cam Ranh Island by boat.

The pier on Cam Ranh Island is empty, and every household is busy with their work.

Back to school, his father specially reminded him: "Teacher Wang, be careful of your step, there are a few struts in our team on this pier." ”

The last time I came over, Wang Yi found out that this pier was a bit shaky.

He said: "Just reinforce the brace after the brace, and you don't need to replace it with a new brace, why don't you clean it up in your team?" ”

The father of the school returned to show an indescribable expression: "Who will reinforce it?" Now there is no team, and the individual cares about the individual, as the old saying goes, everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, regardless of the frost on the tiles of his house. ”

Speaking of this topic, I am embarrassed.

Wang Yi also discovered that it may be that now suddenly from a large collective life to a responsibility contracting system, the members have just lived their own lives, and their enthusiasm for labor has increased greatly, and at the same time, they pay more attention to their own interests.

Now the saying that 'people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for their own sake' is becoming popular in society, and those who are literate and uneducated like to emphasize this sentence.

In the past two years, the clan concept has suffered a huge impact, and the prestige of the patriarchs, who were previously comparable to village chiefs and village chiefs, has plummeted.

On the contrary, in the past 22 years, many rural areas have paid more attention to the concept of clans, for example, he has seen on the Internet that many places collectively repair genealogies or collectively build bridges and pave roads.

According to his understanding, it should be that people's concepts have been temporarily impacted by the model of big packages, and in the future, with the passage of time, people's hearts and people's concepts will fall back again, and they will pick up the nostalgia again.

To put it simply, before the reform and opening up, the members of the outer islands paid too much attention to the interests of the large collective, but now they pay special attention to their own interests.

Just like going back to school, it's no wonder that the father is sad and depressed, the life of fishermen is different from that of farmers, farmers rely on farming to support their families, and life will be sad without men in the family, but women can go up to it, so they can continue to farm and support their families.

The fishermen's family all rely on the rocking of the oars to go out to sea to fish, which is the work of men, and women cannot do it.

Therefore, since ancient times, the outer islands have paid special attention to family help each other, and if a man has an accident at sea, each family of the clan will have a strong contribution to provide food and then pull the children of the accident family and send the old people of the accident family away.

This is an unspoken rule, after all, no one dares to say that it will be themselves who will have an accident at sea one day.

But in the past two years, every family may have just lived their own life, and it is true that each family is relatively poor, and if someone has an accident at home, close relatives are not very willing to help.

This is the case now at home, after he died at sea, the villagers of the production team avoided the old people in their families.

Wang Yi followed his father to their house, and when he arrived at the mouth of the alley, he saw that two children, a man and a woman, were playing with sand outside the house, and on the way they came just now, there was a group of children playing a game of catching spies.

The two children are the second daughter and the youngest son, who are back in school.

When they saw their father coming back, they happily greeted him.

The father picked up his grandson and said, "Erya, Xiaoya, call Teacher Wang." ”

The two children are still young, and when they see Wang Yi, a stranger, they will only hide behind their grandfather's arms.

But after Wang Yi took out a handful of toffee and handed it over, the two of them changed their attitudes, grabbed the toffee first, and then called happily: "Teacher Wang, Teacher Wang." ”

Wang Yi smiled: "Why do you two play here by yourself?" There are a lot of friends out there, so go play with them. ”

The four or five-year-old girl said, "They don't play with us anymore. ”

When Hui Xue's father heard this, he was immediately sad and angry, pointed outside and said to Wang Yi: "Teacher Wang, you have seen and heard, you have seen and heard with your own eyes, right?" My family has just gone back to school, and every family is avoiding us! ”

Wang Yi had mixed feelings in his heart.

Damn, that's too much of an exaggeration.

What about the simple nostalgia?

How did the current society become like this?

His experience when he was a child was quite miserable, he lost his mother when he was a child, and he lost his father when he was a teenager, but the teacher cared for him very much, and the parents of his classmates did not let their children play with him because he was an orphan, at most some domineering students would bully him.

But now he forgave the students.

After all, it's not as good as yourself......

After pondering the matter for a moment, he secretly shook his head again.

No, you can't forgive them easily, so you can stimulate them.

It's good to mix yourself, these people who have bullied you are not good, if you can't stimulate them, then aren't you messing around for nothing?

On second thought, he shook his head again.

Why is my consciousness so backward? What does it mean to stimulate them? It's called motivating them! It's to motivate them!

Thinking like this, Wang Yi smiled, and decided so happily.

And when he looked at him, he frowned, shook his head, smiled and nodded, thinking that he had found a way to solve his predicament, so he quickly nodded and invited him to enter the door.

Wang Yi also hurried into the door.

He really wanted to help back the school.

What happened to Hui Xue this time really had a big impact on him.

According to his understanding of the countryside, it should be that the nostalgia is far stronger than that in the city, and the affection of neighbors is even better than that of relatives.

Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.

But the side of the people's production team now shows makes him a little confused.

He can only explain it with the concept that the concept of wealth brought about by the big package and reform and opening up has temporarily impacted the people at the bottom, after all, the nostalgia of the outer islands for 22 years is still quite strong, and Uncle Bo takes good care of him as an ordinary child of the outer islands.

Thinking about these things, they went into the house.

The conditions at home are not very good, the furniture in the house is quite old, and there are traces of revision on the table legs and the back of the chair.

When he returned to school, his father led him into the bedroom and said embarrassedly: "Since the child's father left, the child's mother has been eating and drinking badly." ”

Hearing this, the eldest daughter of the family sensibly went to the kitchen to bring out a rice bowl and ran to the mother lying on the bed opposite the head of the bed and said, "Mom, Mom, you can eat something, you didn't eat anything last night, you didn't eat anything this morning, you can eat some." ”

When she returned to school, her father persuaded her: "Ying, you eat two bites, you have to think about the child, you see that you don't eat the child and you don't have the heart to eat, this is not good, you can't starve yourself, you can't starve the child, you starve the children, isn't our family even more unbearable?" ”

The woman on the bed was unkempt, she shook her head with her eyes closed, lifeless.

Hui Xue's father said: "You get up, you see, Teacher Wang from Tianya Island came to see you after hearing about our family's situation, Teacher Wang, you know, he was very busy, and he came to see you, you can't keep your eyes open." ”

Hearing this, the daughter-in-law who went back to school finally opened her eyes.

She saw Wang Yihou sitting up on the head of the bed, and finally spoke: "Teacher Wang is here?" You said that the family is like this, Mr. Wang, why did you suddenly come? Let you see the joke, the way the family looks like this, let you see the joke. ”

Wang Yi put down the bag and said: "I know what is going on in your family, it's not a joke, and no one can stand it if they encounter such a difficult thing." ”

The daughter-in-law who returned to school cried sadly: "Yes, who can stand this incident?" Teacher Wang, why do you say that I, my children, and my in-laws are so miserable? Why is this happening to my family? ”

"There is also going back to school, you said that he was even more miserable, you don't know what kind of days my family went back to school, really, outsiders don't know!"

"Why do you think he can still catch a cold on a hot day? He is not in good health, there is no nutrition, he eats a lunch meal on weekdays, just because he has to work in the sea to swing the oars and cast the net, so he eats a lunch meal, and he does not eat in the morning and evening! ”

"I asked him to eat, but he was reluctant, and when it was time to eat in the evening, he smoked two bags of cigarettes, saying that smoking can satisfy his hunger and satisfy his hunger."

In fact, he was reluctant to eat, he just wanted to save food for the old and young, and he just wanted to earn money for his family and save money to pay off his debts as soon as possible. Our Zhuang family, there are debts on our bodies, and our lives are not steady......"

Tears!

Returning to school, my father listened even more uncomfortable, squatting at the door and wiping his face.

Wang Yi took out a handkerchief and handed it to his daughter-in-law, saying: "The men in our team are also like this, I know that it is not easy for a man to be in charge, I understand this feeling." ”

This is not empty words.

There are debts outside the house, there are parents and children inside, and when he opens his eyes every day when he goes back to school, there are several mouths outside to ask for debts, and several mouths at home to eat, how much pressure is he on a man?

Many men on the outer islands are living such a hard life.

Until now, there are some men on Tianya Island who skip dinner, just like going back to school, and they smoke some loose tobacco leaves when they arrive at the meal to satisfy their hunger.

In fact, how can this satisfy hunger? They are saving some food from between their teeth.

It's pure self-deception, how strong can you have when you shake the oar like this? How can you have the strength to cast a net and collect it?

But in recent years, many families have really relied on going to the province from between their teeth, and when they have no strength at sea, they will casually get some seafood to fill their stomachs, such as small crabs and shrimps, and they rely on this to make their efforts.

When the daughter-in-law who returned to school heard his empathy, she cried even more: "Teacher Wang, I will tell you the truth, I really regret letting him go back to school to Zha Hai that day, I should have persuaded him to rest for a day." ”

"But the person who went back to school is really an honest man, he told me that there are still debts at home and children to eat, and he also wants to provide for the children to study, he said that the children have to study to be successful, he took you as an example, saying that you have the ability to go to college, go to the city to meet the cadres, and go back to the production team to lead the members to make a fortune."

"He wants to provide a college student from his family, so he has to work hard, alas, you say, God, who would have thought that he would lose his life?"

At this time, the woman cried more violently, but with fewer tears.

I really dried my tears.

Wang Yi said to their eldest daughter, "Go pour a bowl of water for your mother." ”

The eldest girl was sensible and said, "Well, Mr. Wang, I will also pour you a bowl of water." ”

She went and poured water and brought it over.

Wang Yi sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, don't cry......"

"I don't want to cry, I don't really want to live anymore." The daughter-in-law who returned to school said desperately, "Look at my house, the old people and children are full of mouths, how can I get by?" ”

Hearing this, the eldest daughter was so frightened that she also cried, and said to Wang Yi: "Teacher Wang, you persuade my mother, don't let her find a short-term meeting, I have no father, if there is no more mother, what should our sister and brother do?" ”

Wang Yi scolded his daughter-in-law who returned to school: "Okay, don't cry, you said that you are an adult, and you don't have a child sensible!" ”

"If you don't go back to school, your home will be over? Can't live anymore? I can live the same! ”

He said: "My uncle and aunt are not very old, they can still move, you can also move, you three adults have hands and feet can still not support yourself?" ”

"The three children should be sent to our school, although we are not part of a family, but the villagers should help them. The children are sent to our school, our two islands are close to each other, as long as the weather is not very bad, then they will be sent to and from school. ”

Hearing this, Hui Xue's father subconsciously stood up.

The daughter-in-law who returned to school also quickly glared at him.

I saw hope all at once.

They know the things of Tianya Primary School best, the children go to school to manage breakfast and lunch, and Mr. Wang will also go to the society to find the leaders of the unit and find the classmates in the city to help support a set of clothes.

If the three children can go to Tianya Primary School, then at least the children's lives will be better.

When he returned to school, his father was happy and anxious, rubbing his hands and saying, "Teacher Wang, can this work?" Can our children go to school with you? ”

Wang Yi said: "The three children have called me teacher, so I will lead them to study together, and you can send them to me when the school year ends this summer." ”

The spirit of the daughter-in-law who returned to school was finally a little more uplifted, she wiped her face and wanted to thank her, but she didn't know where to start.

Wang Yi said to her: "There is an accident in the family, and people are uncomfortable, which is true. But people have to look forward, and there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. ”

He opened his bag and put out the gift he brought, and said: "Look, this is the flower cloth that our birthday star gave to your family, he is too old to go to sea, but he is worried about your family, and this time I specially asked me to bring you a flower cloth." ”

"There are also two packets of malt milk essence and milk powder here, this bag is the fried noodles made by our team, and I also brought a few boxes of canned luncheon meat to your family, which are all gifts I gave to your family on behalf of our production team."

"I won't tell you what is too profound, what is too particular about learning, the truth is such a truth, people have to look forward, as long as people have not fallen, they must look forward, as long as people are still working hard, that day can always be better and better!"

The daughter-in-law who returned to school nodded and said, "Teacher Wang, thank you for this trip and thank you for sending things and picking up the children to study, I understand, it is indeed me who is confused for a while, I will cheer up, and I will live a good life." ”

Returning to school, my father said happily: "That's right, that's right!" ”

Wang Yi comforted the family a few more words, and watched his daughter-in-law eat at school, he waved his hand and left.

Originally, he wanted to stop by to see Chen Jinbo this time.

As a result, I inquired and learned that he and Chen Jintao had gone to sea to work, so he had to go home by himself.

Back on the island, the old men and ladies are still working hard to drill bamboo.

The bamboo is not easy to get through, mainly because the bamboo poles are too long, and the bamboo knots on both sides are quite eye-catching, but it is not good to go inside.

Then someone went to the small outlying islands of the fourth group and called Wang Zhengang.

The reason why he called this old man over was because he had a gun at home, and someone said, "Dagang, why didn't you bring a gun when you came?" Wouldn't it be easier for you to shoot through the bamboo pole with one shot? ”

Wang Zhengang said expressionlessly: "The gun doesn't work, if you hit the bamboo, it will explode, and you have to use this to penetrate the bamboo." ”

His hand tucked into his sleeve peeked out, and a spiral cone appeared.

This thing is made of stainless steel, a bit like a screwdriver, but the screwdriver only has a spiral head and a straight rod down, and the spiral cone in his hand has a spiral belt from the beginning down.

The spiral cone is about the thickness of an adult's thumb, and the cone head is very sharp, exuding a cold and cold atmosphere.

Wang Zhengang found a thin bamboo pole, he fixed the spiral knife with iron wire, stuffed it into the thick bamboo pole and earned it, and easily turned a bamboo knot.

In addition, he also brought a saber and handed it to Wang Yi: "You still want to make a hole in the bamboo?" With this, all at once. ”

This saber is not long, the blade is about the same length as Wang Yi's outstretched palm, and the handle is wrapped with a layer of nylon rope and equipped with a strong fist.

Interestingly, this saber fist guard is not an ordinary style, it has a fist stab on the outside.

The saber has been looking at the handle for many years, but the blade is quite sharp, but unfortunately the tip of the knife is broken.

Wang Yi was a little in love after getting it, he held the handle of the knife and then waved his hand and smashed it to the side with the fist stab on the fist, saying, "This knife is very ruthless." ”

Wang Zhengang shook his head and said, "That's not how it is used. ”

He had to return the knife to his backhand grip, so that the fist guard on the hilt would resemble a finger tiger.

Wang Zhengang shook his big arm and drove his small arm with his big arm, and the fist guard of the saber was vigorous, and as his wrist rotated flexibly, the inverted blade began to haunt again.

Immediately, an old man applauded and said, "Brother Dagang, you can do it, how many years have you been back, it seems that you haven't put down your ability yet." ”

Wang Zhengang did not respond.

Cool old man.

He handed the saber to Wang Yi again.

Wang Yi said: "This knife has no tip, it's not good to dig a hole in the bamboo, right?" ”

Wang Zhengang took back the saber again and twisted the handle, and a solid conical nail suddenly popped out at the end of the originally empty handle.

He took a piece of bamboo, and then smashed the cone nail into the bamboo with a hard smash of his arm, directly smashing a small hole.

Wang Yi was amused: "Ha, it's really a good thing, the size of the opening is just right." ”

In this way, Wang Zhengang was responsible for digging holes in the bamboo, and Wang Yi and others took the bamboo to the farmland and vegetable garden to study it.

The dropper system made of bamboo is quite simple, whether it is crops or vegetables, it is planted in the same direction, and a 'Y' shaped wooden branch is inserted on the ridge at both ends to put the bamboo on it.

Put a wrist-thick bamboo pole in the canal, and insert one end of the thin bamboo pole into the farmland, fix them and then mark the thin bamboo pole, and the position of the crop seedlings is marked, and a small hole should be opened in the back.

The old men were busy for a while and lost their patience, and said, "Teacher Wang, what's the use of this hard work?" In this way, it is better for us to take a scoop of water and water it every day. ”

Wang Yi smiled: "Isn't it hot to water one scoop after another on this hot day?" We're just working hard for a while, and you're working hard all the time. ”

"Moreover, this drip irrigation technology saves water, and it saves more water than you use a scoop to water, you will know when you wait."

Actually, he was quite impatient.

It's very interesting to watch other people's handmade DIY on video sites, and it's really hard to take your turn.

This made him secretly admire the useless manual Geng, it is a matter of course that people can make money, and now he can experience the hard work of manual Geng.

However, the bamboo pole drip irrigation system is only cumbersome but not difficult, this thing is not his invention, it is an ancient irrigation technology he has seen.

He remembered that it was in the water-starved Northwest Territories.

In order to overcome the thirst difficulties of long sunny days without rain and the inability to plant seeds in the mountainous high mountains and dry lands, the old farmers in the northwest mountainous areas went to buy bamboo poles and used them to divert water for drip irrigation.

Cucumber and tomato fields need water the most, and these two crops do not grow without water, but they grow quickly when they are watered.

The first set of drip irrigation moso bamboo was put into a tomato field.

Wang Yi adopted the method of placing the ridge head high and the end of the ridge low, and slightly lifted the coarse bamboo that served as a water channel.

In this way, water is poured into the large opening on the coarse bamboo head, and the water flows into the coarse bamboo pole and then flows into the thin bamboo pole connected to the top along the opening next to it.

The ridge head is located high, so that the water flows smoothly into the thin bamboo poles.

Soon, the small holes in the thin bamboo poles began to drip out.

The water droplets fell one by one, and they continued to fall right on the vegetable seedlings.

Seeing this scene, the onlookers laughed happily.

Someone asked strangely: "Mr. Wang, this pole obviously has a small hole, why is it not flowing out but dripping?" ”

Wang Yi explained: "Uncle, I don't mean anything else, I don't look down on you, but this truth is difficult for you to understand, it is related to pressure and tension, and it is difficult to explain it to you." ”

"To put it simply, there is tension in the water pressure inside the pipe, the air pressure outside the pipe, and the water outflow, and these forces interact with each other to finally present this result."

When the old man and the old lady heard this, they were immediately in awe: "Although this drip irrigation technology looks like a broken thing, it turns out to be high-tech." ”

Wang Yi was powerless to complain.

This thing is not high-tech, and it is easy to use in practice, but the knowledge involved is really complicated.

A drip irrigation system was put into use, and the big guy didn't go to work first, and squatted directly in the vegetable field to watch the drip under the scorching sun.

The drops of water fall drop by drop, just absorbed by the land, so there is very little waste.

Wang Xianggao poured two scoops of water into the coarse bamboo stem, and then this drip for a few minutes.

Wang Yi said: "In the future, you don't have to water one by one, just carry a bucket to add water to the coarse bamboo of each dropper system, and let it drip all day." ”

"That's good, that's good." The big guys nodded their heads.

Wang Xianghong, who led the team out to sea to pick up jellyfish, came back halfway to deliver jellyfish, and after hearing that the dropper system was put into use, he quickly put down his work and ran to see the excitement.

He watched the water droplets fall and said with relief: "Oh, this effort is worth it, Mr. Wang is right, this can save a lot of water." ”

"Teacher Wang, you are so amazing, the cultural level of college students is too high, you know everything." Wang Dongxi exclaimed.

Wang Xinguo, who came to observe, secretly swore in his heart that he must be admitted to the University of Electrical Engineering!

Wang Yi further introduced: "That is, we don't have so much free time, otherwise our crops and vegetables don't need fresh water on our island." ”

The group was stunned when they heard this: "Mr. Wang, do you still have a way to make crops and vegetables live without absorbing water?" ”

"This must be fake, this is impossible, how can the crops and seedlings live without water?"

"Not necessarily, Mr. Wang may not have a way, he has great ability."

Wang Yi waved his hand and said: "No, I definitely can't make crops and vegetables go without water, everything grows by the sun and water, water is the source of life." ”

"But I have a way to produce fresh water without spending money!"

"How to produce? With a solar stove, seawater can be boiled to evaporate water vapor, which is then collected and cooled to become a fresh water resource. ”

"Now we have 20 solar cookers in our production team, and when the weather is fine, we can produce a lot of fresh water every day."

He introduced the principle and operation method, and Wang Dongxi was the first to understand: "Oh, collect seawater steam to make fresh water, I know this, this is distilled water, right?" Fresh water indeed, and no bacteria and viruses! ”

After listening to his words, the old people also understood that the steam produced by the heating of the sea water was fresh water, and they also understood this.

Wang Xianghong clapped his hands happily and said, "Yes, why did you forget this?" We can use solar stoves to boil seawater for fresh water, so that we can alleviate the drought? ”

Wang Yi brought ten solar cookers for the first time, and then he brought another one, and now there are 20 solar cookers in the team, which is more than enough for the whole team to cook and boil water.

But it is not suitable for fresh water.

He waved his hand and said: "It can be done but there is no need, the secretary, the fresh water on our island can now supply our daily needs, this is enough, don't use solar stoves to boil seawater, because there is too much brine in the seawater, which will ruin our pots." ”

"Only when the weather is dry and people can't eat water, can this method be used to collect fresh water, otherwise there is no need, after all, the pot is quite expensive."

The old people nodded their heads again and again.

It's really not worth destroying those black pots for the sake of boiling distilled water, how much is a pot? You have to spend industrial coupons!

Wang Yi waved his hand and led the way to continue making the drip irrigation system.

With a successful example, the old people are working hard, dragging the big bamboos and starting to increase the firepower.
