I Had a Home In 1982

   Chapter 288 287. Teacher Wang goes out (please ask for a monthly ticket)

The departure of    Lord Shou Xing reminded Wang Yi of the story of Grandpa Yu Qian.

It is said that in the year of the catastrophe, there were refugees who fell hungry at the door of their homes and could no longer walk. Yu Qian's grandfather said, "I can't see how miserable someone is. Come to two slaves to fork them out, and don't let me go far away." Saw'.

   Actually he was wrong.

  Shou Xingye is a working people of the proletariat. He was born in poverty 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, then hurried to the sales department with a cane, and said to Wang Yi, "Mr. Wang, don't take Xiaojing's money, I'll pay for Xiaojing's purchase, and I'll give it to you. He has a guest."

  Father Huixue, who was rubbing the cloth, quickly refused: "Old birthday star, I was supposed to honor you, how can I take your things instead?"

Lord Shouxing said solemnly: "I have a good life. Now I have meat and drink every day. Why do you honor me? When I die, come and burn me two knives of paper money. Your family is in trouble now. No matter what, I have to pull you."

  Wang Yi pulled two pieces of floral cloth for Huixue's father and said, "Let's make clothes for the child too."

   When he went to Jinlan Island last time, he saw the two daughters of Huijia in tattered clothes.

   Children don't dress well these days.

Huixue’s father thanked him repeatedly, he held Shou Xing’s hand in both hands, and couldn’t help tearing up: “Old Shou Xing, it’s so nice of you to be in the team, there are people, old and young men, father and son folks, it’s so good that you are your own family. ah!"

  Shou Xing Ye sighed: "Oh, Xiaojing, in fact, everything is caused by the poor."

  Wang Yi was surprised to hear this.

   The old man is really amazing, he can still have such a clear thinking at this age.

   His words got to the point.

   is to let the poor make trouble!

   Lord Shouxing paid for it, and Wang Yi pulled a few meters of floral cloth for Huixue’s father. Each of the four types of floral cloth tore a meter and a half, so that his family could buy a full set of floral clothes for adults and children.

   Huixue's father carefully folded the floral cloth, and murmured, "Mr. Wang, you are literate and can speak, can I ask you a favor."

   "What are you busy with?"

"Can you go to my house and sit and persuade the child's mother, since she went back to school, the child's mother has been lying on the bed, alas, I see her going to collapse, it's useless for us to persuade the old couple, Alas, Mr. Wang, you are a college student, your words are powerful, go and persuade."

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

   "It can be done, it can be done." Huixue said hurriedly, "You have the power to speak now, and our team members are also convinced of you now. They all know that you have a way and that you are a knowledgeable college student."

   Wang Yi secretly said that the identity of a college student he used casually at the time really played a big role.

   After national propaganda, the common people are now a little superstitious about what college students are convinced by.

  Shou Xing Ye was very proud of having a college student in his family.

   He said: "Xiangwen Tawa, go and see. You are educated and a teacher. You were my husband in the past. You can speak well."

  Wang Yi had to give up the job of drip-irrigating bamboo tubes first, and then returned to Jinlan Island by boat with Dad Huixue.

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

   Huixue Dad specially reminded him: "Mr. Wang, be careful with your feet, there are a few braces on the dock in our team."

   The last time I came here, Wang Yi noticed that the pier was a little wobbly.

   He said: "It's enough to strengthen the braces after they are active, and you don't need to replace them with new braces. Why don't your team clean up?"

   Huixue's father showed an indescribable expression: "Who will strengthen it? There is no team group now. Individuals care about themselves. As the old saying goes, each person sweeps the snow before his door, regardless of the frost on his house."

   Speaking of this topic, I can’t help but sigh.

  Wang Yi also discovered that it may suddenly change from a large collective life to a responsibility contract system. The members have just lived their own lives, and their enthusiasm for labor has greatly increased, but they also pay more attention to their own interests.

  Nowadays, there is a popular saying in society that 'people do nothing for themselves and the earth will perish'. People with culture and no culture like to emphasize this sentence.

   In the past two years, the clan concept has been greatly impacted, and the prestige of the clan chiefs who used to be comparable to the village chiefs has dropped sharply.

   On the contrary, in the past 22 years, many rural areas have paid more attention to the concept of clan. For example, he has seen many places on the Internet about collectively building genealogy or collectively building bridges and paving roads.

  According to his understanding, it should be that the concept of people has been temporarily impacted by the mode of doing it all. In the future, as time goes by, 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 collective, but now they pay special attention to their own interests.

Just like Huixue, it’s no wonder that Huixue’s father is sad and depressed. The life of fishermen is different from that of farmers. Farmers rely on farming to support their families. It will be difficult to live without a man in the family, but if women can stand up, they can continue to farm. raise a family.

  The fishermen rely entirely on the oars to go out to sea to fish to support their families. This is the work of men, and women cannot do it.

   Therefore, the outer islands have been paying special attention to the mutual help of families since ancient times. If a man has an accident at sea, all the families of the clan will make efforts to provide food, and then pull up the children of the accident family and send the old people away.

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

   In the past two years, every family may have just lived on their own, and it is true that each family is relatively poor. If there is an accident at home, close relatives are less likely to help.

  This is the case in Huijiali now. After he died at sea, the villagers in the production team avoided the elderly in their family.

  Wang Yi followed Hui Xue Dad to their house, and when he reached the alley, he saw that there were two children, a boy and a girl, playing with sand outside the house, and there were a group of children playing the game of catching spy on the way they came.

  The two children are the second daughter and the youngest son who are returning to school.

   When they saw Dad Huixue coming back, they happily greeted him.

   Huixue's father picked up his grandson and said, "Er Ya, Xiaoyao, call Teacher Wang quickly."

   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. They grabbed the toffee first and then shouted cheerfully, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang."

  Wang Yi smiled and said, "Why are you two playing here by yourself? There are some friends outside, you can go and play with them."

   The little girl of four or five years old said: "They don't play with me anymore."

When Huixue heard this, he was angry and pointed outside and said to Wang Yi, "Mr. Wang, you saw and heard, you saw it with your own eyes and heard it with your own ears, right? Every family is hiding from us!"

  Wang Yi had mixed feelings in his heart.

   Damn this is too exaggerated.

   What about simple nostalgia?

  How can today's society become like this?

His childhood experience was quite miserable. He lost his mother and his father when he was young, but the teacher loved him very much. 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. he.

   But now he forgives those students.

   After all, I'm not as good as myself...

   pondered this matter for a while, and then he shook his head secretly.

   No, you can't forgive them easily, but you can stimulate them anyway.

  I do well by myself, but those who have bullied me do not do well. If I can't stimulate them, then I'm not doing it for nothing.

  Thinking again, he shook his head again.

   Why is my own consciousness so backward? What is it that stimulates them? It's called motivating them! Is to stimulate their self-motivation!

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

   Back to school dad frowned, shook his head, smiled and nodded when he saw him, thinking that he had found a solution to his own predicament, so he quickly nodded and asked him to come in.

  Wang Yi also hurried in.

   He really wanted to help out the school.

   What happened this time back home really had a big impact on him.

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

   A distant relative is worse than a near neighbor.

   But the side that the production team is showing now makes him a little confused.

   He can only explain that the concept of wealth brought about by the big contract and the reform and opening up has temporarily impacted the concept of the bottom-level people. After all, after 22 years of outer islands, the nostalgia is still quite strong, and Uncle Bo takes great care of his ordinary outer island children.

  Thinking about these things they entered the house.

  The conditions in the home are not very good. The furniture in the room is quite old, and there are revision marks on the legs of the table and the backs of the chairs.

   Huixue's 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 went to the kitchen sensible to bring out a rice bowl and ran to the mother who was lying on the opposite side of the bed and said, "Mom, mom, eat some food quickly, you didn't eat anything last night, I didn't eat anything this morning, so you can eat some."

Huixue's father persuaded her: "Ying, eat two bites, you have to think about your children, you don't have the heart to eat if you don't eat them, that's not good, you can't starve yourself and you can't starve your children, you If the children are starving, isn't our family unable to live any longer?"

   The woman on the bed was disheveled, she closed her eyes and shook her head, lifeless.

Huixue said: "Get up, look, Teacher Wang from Tianya Island came to see you after hearing about the situation in our family. You know, Teacher Wang, he was very busy and came to see you specially, you can't stop Open your eyes."

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

When she saw Wang Yi, she sat up with the head of the bed, and finally spoke: "Mr. Wang is here? You said that the family is like this, why did you suddenly come here, Mr. Wang? I'm letting you see a joke, the family is like this, let you It's a joke."

  Wang Yi put down the bag and said, "I know what's going on in your family. This is not a joke. No one can handle such a difficult situation."

Hui Xue's daughter-in-law cried sadly: "Yeah, who can stand this? Teacher Wang, why do I, my child, and my in-laws suffer so badly? Why is this happening to my family? "

   "There is also going back to school. You said that his life was even worse. You don't know what life my family has spent going back to school. Really, outsiders don't know!"

"Why do you think he still catches a cold on a hot day? He is not healthy, and he has no nutrition. He eats a lunch on weekdays, just because he has to work on the oars at sea, so he eats a lunch. , he doesn't eat in the morning and evening!"

   "I asked him to eat, but he was reluctant. He smoked two bags of cigarettes when it was time to eat at night, saying that smoking can satisfy his hunger and make him hungry."

   "Actually, he was reluctant to eat, he just wanted to save food for the old and the young, and he just wanted to make money for the family and quickly put down all the debts. Our family is in debt, and it's not safe to live..."

   I burst into tears!

   Back to school, it was even more uncomfortable for Dad to hear it, and he squatted at the door and wiped his face.

  Wang Yi took out a handkerchief and handed it to his daughter-in-law, Huixue, and said, "The guys in our team are also like this. I know that it's not easy for a man to be in charge. I understand this feeling."

   These words are not empty words.

  There are debts outside the home, parents and children inside, and every day when I go back to school, I open my eyes and see that there are several mouths outside for debts, and several mouths at home for food. How much pressure is he as a man?

  Many men on the outer islands lived such a hard life.

   Up to now, some men in Tianya Island have skipped dinner, just like going back to school.

   How can this actually satisfy hunger? They are saving some food between their teeth.

   is purely self-deception, how can you have the strength to shake the oar like this? How can you have the strength to cast a net and collect a net?

   But these days, many families really rely on going from their teeth to the provinces. When they don’t have the strength at sea, they will just get some seafood to fill their stomachs. For example, they can eat small crabs and shrimps. They rely on this to exert their strength.

   Huixue's daughter-in-law heard that he had empathy, and cried even more: "Mr. Wang, I'm guarding you and I'll tell the truth. I really regret letting Huixue go to Zhahai that day, so I should persevere and persuade him to take a day off."

"But Hui Xue is really an honest person. He told me that the family still has debts and children to eat, and he still 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 and said If you go to university, you can get to know cadres, and when you return to the production team, you can lead commune members to make a fortune.”

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

   At this time, the women cried more but less tears.

   Really dried up my tears.

  Wang Yi said to their eldest daughter: "Pour a bowl of water for your mother."

  The eldest daughter is sensible and said, "Well, Teacher Wang, I will also pour you a bowl of water."

   She went and poured the water and brought it over.

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

   "I don't want to cry, I actually don't want to live anymore." The daughter-in-law of Huixue said desperately, "Look at my family, the old people and children are full of mouths, how can I live on?"

   Hearing this, the eldest daughter was so frightened that she cried, and said to Wang Yi, "Mr. Wang, please persuade my mother not to let her find fault with me. I have no father. If there is no mother again, what will we do with our sister and brother?"

  Wang Yi scolded Huixue's daughter-in-law: "Okay, don't cry, you said that you are an adult, and you don't have a sensible child!"

   "If I don't go back to school, my family will be over? I won't be able to live any longer? I can live on the same!"

   He said, "My uncle and my aunt are not very old. You can still do things, and you can do things too. You three adults have hands and feet and can't support yourself?"

"Send the three children to our school to study. Although we are not from the same family, the villagers should help us. The children are sent to our school. Our two islands are close to each other, as long as the weather is not bad. Then shake the oars and send them to and from school."

   Hearing this, Father Huixue stood up subconsciously.

   The daughter-in-law who returned to school also hurriedly stared at him.

   I saw hope all at once.

  Tianya Elementary School they know best. Children go to school to take care of breakfast and lunch. Teacher Wang will also go to the society to find unit leaders and classmates in the city to help them with clothes.

   If the three children can go to Tianya Elementary School to study, then at least the children's life will be better.

  Returning to school, Dad was both happy and uneasy. He rubbed his hands together and said, "Mr. Wang, can this work? Can the kids in our team go to your school too?"

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

   The spirit of the daughter-in-law returning to school was finally lifted. She wiped her face and wanted to thank her, but she didn't know where to start.

  Wang Yi said to her: "There is a change in the family, people are uncomfortable, this is true. But people have to look forward, and there is nothing that can't be overcome."

He opened the bag and put out the gift he brought, and said, "Look, this is the flower cloth given to you by the birthday star in our team. He is too old to go to sea, but he is thinking about your family. Let me bring you flowers and cloths."

"There are also two bags of malted milk essence and milk powder. This bag is the fried noodles that our team made. I also brought a few boxes of canned lunch meat to your home. These are all delivered to your home by me on behalf of our production team. present."

"I won't tell you what is too profound and what is too particular about knowledge. The truth is just that. People have to look forward. As long as people don't fall, they must look forward. As long as people are still working hard, that day Always get better!"

Hui Xue's daughter-in-law nodded and said, "Mr. Wang, thank you for making this trip and thank you for sending things and picking up your children to study. I understand it all. I was really confused for a while. I'll cheer up now, and I'll be fine. live."

   Huixue's father said happily: "This is right, this is right!"

  Wang Yi reassured the family a few more words, watched Huixue’s daughter-in-law eat, and waved his hand away.

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

   In the end, he asked and learned that he and Chen Jintao had both gone to work at sea, so he had to go home by himself.

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

   Bamboo is not easy to get through. The main reason is that the bamboo pole is too long, and the bamboo joints on both sides are quite good.

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

   The reason why the old man was called here was because he had a gun at home. Someone said, "Why didn't you bring a gun when you came here? You come and pierce the bamboo pole with one shot. Wouldn't life be easy?"

  Wang Zhengang said with a blank face: "The gun doesn't work. If you shoot it into the bamboo, it will explode. You need to use this to penetrate the bamboo joint."

   His hand tucked in his sleeve looked 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 top down.

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

  Wang Zhen just found a thin bamboo pole, he fixed the spiral knife with iron wire, stuffed it into the thick bamboo pole to make money, and easily turned a bamboo joint.

   In addition, he brought a saber and handed it to Wang Yi: "Do you still want to make holes in the bamboo? Use this, and you'll do it all at once."

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

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

  The hilt of the saber has been around for years, but the blade is still sharp, but unfortunately the tip is broken.

  Wang Yi couldn't put it down after he got it. He held the handle of the knife and smashed it to the side with the fist on the protective fist, saying, "This knife is very cruel."

  Wang Zhen just shook his head and said, "It's not used like that."

   He wanted to go back to the knife and hold the knife with his backhand, so that the protective fist on the handle became something like a finger tiger.

  Wang Zhen just swung his big arm to use his big arm to drive his forearm, and the saber's fist guard was flamboyant, and as his wrist turned flexibly, the upside-down blade began to appear ghostly again.

   Immediately, an old man applauded and said, "Brother Da Gang, you can do it. It's been so many years since you came back. It seems that you haven't given up your skills."

  Wang Zhengang didn't respond.

   Cool old man.

   He handed the saber to Wang Yi again.

   Wang Yi said: "This knife has no point, so it's not good to dig holes in bamboo, right?"

  Wang Zhen just took back the saber and twisted the handle again, and a solid conical nail popped out from the end of the originally empty handle.

   He took a bamboo, and then smashed the cone nail on the bamboo with a strong 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 in charge of opening holes for the bamboo joints, while Wang Yi and others took bamboo to the farmland and vegetable garden to study it.

  The dropper system made of bamboo is very simple. Whether crops or vegetables are planted in the same direction, insert a 'Y'-shaped wooden branch on both ends of the ridge and put the bamboo on it.

Put a bamboo pole about the thickness of your wrist in the canal, stick one end of the thin bamboo pole into the farmland, fix them, and then mark the thin bamboo pole. Make a small hole.

  The old men lost their patience after working hard for a while, and said, "Mr. Wang, what's the use of working so hard? It's better for us to take watering ladle every day."

  Wang Yi said with a smile, "Isn't it hot to pour water on a hot day? We are just working hard for a while, but you are working hard all the time."

   "Furthermore, this drip irrigation technology saves water, which is even more water-saving than watering with a scoop. You will find out when you wait."

   In fact, he was quite impatient.

   It’s interesting to watch other people’s handmade DIYs on video sites, but it’s really hard to do it yourself.

   This made him secretly admire the useless craftsmanship. It is only natural that people can make money. Now he can appreciate the hard work of craftsmanship.

   However, the bamboo drip irrigation system is cumbersome but not difficult. This thing is not his invention, it is an ancient irrigation technique he has seen.

   He remembered this thing appearing in the water-deficient Northwest.

  In order to overcome the difficulty of thirst and thirst that cannot be planted in the dry land of mountains and high mountains for a long time without rain, the old farmers in the northwest mountainous area went to buy bamboo poles and used them to divert water for drip irrigation.

   Cucumber fields and tomato fields need water the most. These two crops will not grow without water, but will grow quickly if they have enough water.

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

  Wang Yi adopted the method of placing the top of the ridge high and the tail of the ridge low, and slightly lifted the thick bamboo that acts as a water channel.

   In this way, pour water into the large opening on the head of the thick bamboo, and the water flows into the thick bamboo pole and then flows into the thin bamboo pole connected to the upper side along the side opening.

  The position of the ridge head is high, so that the water flows smoothly after it flows into the thin bamboo poles.

   Soon, the small holes on the thin bamboo poles began to drip water.

  The water droplets fell one by one, one after another, just in the position of the vegetable seedlings.

   Seeing this scene, the onlookers laughed happily.

   Someone asked strangely: "Mr. Wang, this pole clearly has a small hole, why is it dripping instead of flowing water?"

  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 flowing out. It is the interaction of these forces that finally results in this result."

   When the old man and the old ladies heard it, they were immediately awe-inspiring: "Although this drip irrigation technology looks like a shabby 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. The big guy stopped working first, and squatted in the vegetable field under the scorching sun to watch the dripping water.

   Water drops drop by drop, just absorbed by the land, so there is very little waste.

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

  Wang Yi said: "In the future, you don't need to water one by one, just add water to the thick bamboo of each dropper system with buckets, and let it drip water all day."

   "This is good, this is good." Everyone nodded.

   Wang Xianghong, who led the team to go out to sea to catch jellyfish, came back halfway to deliver jellyfish. He heard that after the dropper system was put into use, he quickly put down his work and ran to watch the fun.

   After watching the water drop, he said with relief: "Oh, this effort is worth it, Mr. Wang is right, it can save a lot of water."

   "Mr. Wang, you are really amazing. The educational level of college students is too high. You can understand everything." Wang Dongxi praised.

  Wang Xinguo, who followed him to observe, swears in his heart that he must be admitted to TV University!

  Wang Yi further introduced: "That is, we don't have that much free time, otherwise our crops and vegetables will not use the 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 survive without absorbing water?"

   "This must be fake, it's impossible, how can the seedlings live without water?"

   "Not necessarily, Mr. Wang said there is no way, he is very capable."

  Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "No, I definitely can't keep crops and vegetables from drinking water. All things grow 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 it? With a solar cooker, the sea water can be boiled to evaporate the water vapor, and then the water vapor can be collected and cooled to become a fresh water resource."

   "Now we have 20 solar cookers in our production team. 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, collecting seawater vapor to make fresh water, I know this, this is distilled water, right? It is indeed fresh water, and there is no bacterial virus!"

  The old people also understood after hearing his words. The steam produced by the heating of sea water is fresh water, and they also understand this.

  Wang Xianghong happily clapped his hands and said, "Yeah, why have you forgotten about this? We can use the solar cooker to burn seawater to make fresh water. Wouldn't that help alleviate the drought?"

  Wang Yi brought ten solar cookers for the first time, and later he brought it again. Now there are twenty solar cookers in the team, which is more than enough to supply the whole team for cooking and boiling water.

   But it is not suitable for making fresh water.

He waved his hand and said, "It can be done, but it's not necessary, Secretary, the fresh water on our island can now supply our living needs, which is enough. Don't use solar cookers to burn seawater, because seawater contains too much brine. It will ruin our pot."

   "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 after hearing this.

   It's not worth it to destroy those black pots to boil distilled water. How much is a pot? Have to spend industrial coupons too!

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

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