rebirth of cataclysm

"Auntie, it will be ready soon, we will just tie up the thread." Hu Mingchen replied.

"This child is really sensible and has strong hands-on skills." Zhang Meng's mother said with a kind smile.

Hu Mingchen and Zhang Meng worked together and took about ten minutes to connect the network cable, and Hu Mingchen also turned on the computer to help him test it.

"The two-megabit network is still not fast enough, but compared to many people still using 512, it's OK." Hu Mingchen said after testing the network speed.

"I think it's pretty fast. There's no lag when watching videos." Zhang Meng felt very satisfied.

It's strange to say that on this network, when watching videos at 512, there will still be lags. At 1m and 2m, there will also be buffering sometimes, but when I went to 4m, it still didn't change. At that time, I thought it would be better if I went to 8m.

It's very smooth, but after actually using 8m or even 20m, I feel that the actual effect is not too obviously different from 2m and 4m. At most, it feels a little faster when downloading.

"Haha, maybe it's because this is a new computer for you. After a while, you won't say that. Okay, my task is completed, I have to go back." Hu Mingchen stood up from Zhang Meng's chair and put his

He threw his schoolbag on his shoulder and said.

"You want to leave? Didn't you agree to eat?"

"Hey, is Xiao Hu leaving?" Zhang Meng's mother appeared at the door of Zhang Meng's room.

"Yes, Auntie, I have already done everything for Zhang Meng. It's not early now, so I have to go home." Hu Mingchen said.

"Then you have to eat before you leave. The food is all ready. Come on, come on, eat before you leave." Zhang Meng's father greeted warmly.

"Yes, Hu Mingchen, my mother has already shouted like this, you should eat first. You have helped me so much, and if you just leave like this, then Yu Sisi will laugh at me." Zhang Meng followed up and said.

"Who helped whom?" As soon as Zhang Meng finished speaking, Zhang Weidong opened the door and came in, "Hey, aren't you that... Xiao Hu?"

"Hello, Uncle Zhang, it's me, Hu Mingchen." Seeing Zhang Weidong, Hu Mingchen said hello hurriedly.

The nanny took the briefcase from Zhang Weidong's hand, and Zhang Weidong bent down to change his shoes.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, Hu Mingchen, what are you..."

"Xiao Hu is here to help Xiao Meng install the computer. After installing it, he wants to leave. We will let him eat before leaving." Zhang Meng's mother explained.

"Installing a computer? Xiaomeng, did you buy your computer yourself?" Zhang Weidong looked at Zhang Meng and asked.

"None of you have time to buy it with me, so I have to buy it by myself. Fortunately, Hu Mingchen understands and I asked him to help me. He even helped me get it back and installed it," Zhang Meng said.

"Yeah, Xiao Hu, thank you then. Come on, come on, let's have a meal at Uncle Zhang's house. I can't let you go home hungry after you have contributed. If you worry about being criticized for being late,

If so, tell me your phone number and I'll call you at home to explain." Zhang Weidong sat down on the sofa in the living room and waved to Hu Mingchen.

"That's not necessary. My parents are in the country, and I'm going to school in the city. In that case, I won't bother you." Hu Mingchen accepted it as soon as he could, and couldn't insist too much.

After Zhang Weidong drank a glass of water, everyone went to the table to eat.

Perhaps because she didn't expect Hu Mingchen to come back in advance, the nanny cooked four dishes and one soup, but the rice was as good as a small rice cooker. And one thing is that Zhang Meng's rice bowl was relatively small. After Hu Mingchen ate two bowls in a row, he felt a little

I'm sorry to have to add more food.

"Xiao Hu, you're welcome. Go and serve it yourself. Either you won't eat or you will be full, otherwise you will starve yourself." Zhang Weidong put down his chopsticks and filled a small bowl of soup.

"Uncle Zhang, thank you, I'm almost full."

"If you are not full, then you are not full yet. Xiaomeng, go and serve your classmates some food. They are guests, but they are here to help you. Don't you know how to greet them?" Zhang Meng's mother said.

I used to think that Hu Mingchen would be rude because he came from the countryside, but Hu Mingchen behaved as usual at the dinner table, and could even be said to be polite. This made Zhang Meng's mother like Hu Mingchen even more. Once she has a good impression, she will naturally show enthusiasm.

"Okay, Hu Mingchen, give me the bowl, just give it to me." Zhang Meng stood up happily. She wanted to get a bowl for Hu Mingchen to serve rice. Hu Mingchen was not very happy, so she grabbed it directly and domineeringly.

"Can't this girl be more polite?" Zhang Meng's mother said with a smile.

Zhang Meng added a full bowl of rice to Hu Mingchen's bowl and put it in front of him: "All the rice is here, eat it."

It's okay if Zhang Meng didn't say this. But when she said this, Hu Mingchen felt embarrassed.

Except for the little nanny who ate two bowls, everyone in Zhang Meng's family had only one bowl of rice. Now Hu Mingchen ate more alone than the three of them combined, making him feel like a rice bucket.

This is the reason why rural people are afraid of eating at the homes of relatives in the city. It’s not because they dislike the food, but because the food is too small and they won’t be full. Because people who do physical work have a big appetite, and if the bowl is too small, the meal won’t be full.

It's normal to have three or five bowls. But I'm too embarrassed to have to refill the food frequently, so I end up feeling a little hungry.

Hu Mingchen had this experience before he was reborn. At that time, he went to a friend's house for dinner. He had just refilled the rice cooker twice, but the rice cooker was full. After he left, he had to eat on the roadside.

A bowl of mutton noodles is enough.

"Eat. I know that your age is when you are growing taller. Boys are more active, so they should eat more. When I was in school, others only ate 2, 2, 4, and I had to eat at least 6 taels.

." Zhang Weidong saw Hu Mingchen's embarrassment and softened his words.

"Thank you." Hu Mingchen was a little touched by being treated like this by a city leader, so he buried his head and quickly finished the bowl of rice.

"Do you have enough? If not, I will cook you another bowl of noodles. It's all my fault. I didn't know there were guests at home, otherwise I would have put more rice." After Hu Mingchen put down the bowl, the nanny said.

"Enough, enough, enough, thank you, I'm full." Hu Mingchen hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

No matter whether Hu Mingchen is really full or not, he can only say that he is full now. Is it possible that Hu Mingchen really asked the nanny to cook him a bowl of noodles? That is impossible, it is too embarrassing.

The life in Zhang Weidong's family is pretty good, but it's basically home-cooked food, so Hu Mingchen is not so attracted that he has to eat to his heart's content.

"Now that you're full, come on, let's sit over there and have a cup of tea." Zhang Weidong greeted Hu Mingchen.

Hu Mingchen couldn't say he was leaving at this time. He had finally come and he hadn't even mentioned the business yet. If he just left like this, today's visit would be in vain.

"How is your Duge Township now? After the renovation of the street in the township, has the township become more prosperous?" Zhang Weidong asked kindly after sitting down on the sofa.

Zhang Meng also hurriedly put down his bowls and chopsticks and sat obediently beside them to listen to their conversation.

"It's better. All the storefronts have been rented out, and the things sold on the street are richer than before. However, due to the lack of industry, the township as a whole still looks poor. But I have to thank you for one thing. After you went there last time, our village

Later, the nearby villages started to have access to electricity, and the locals immediately found it much more convenient." Hu Mingchen replied matter-of-factly.

"Yes, if you want to be rich, the lack of industry is really a big problem. This problem not only exists in your Duge Township, but also in most of our villages and towns below Liangcheng. If the problem of industrial support is not solved, the villagers will have to

If you want to get rid of poverty and become prosperous, it will be an unattainable dream." Zhang Weidong is very sensitive to this issue. He is a leader in the city and has a macro perspective on the city's economic development.

"Uncle Zhang, you really saw the crux of the problem at a glance. Farmers will never get rich just by farming. No matter how high the grain yield is, the selling price will be so low. What's more, the land in the mountains is barren and no matter how much it is used,

The effect of fertilizer will not be obvious, and it will only increase the cost. Of course, things are relatively better now. Many young people choose to work in the coast. They work outside for three or two months, which is equivalent to a year of farming at home.

"Hu Mingchen said.

"Yes, we are now encouraging young people to go out to work and go to the coast. Not only can they get higher wages, but they can also learn skills and gain knowledge." Zhang Weidong nodded, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"Uncle Zhang, this is good in the short term, but in the long run, the consequences will be serious." Hu Mingchen said worriedly.

"You can earn money by working outside, so why do you still have side effects? You can earn money, learn a craft, and gain experience, right?" Zhang Meng said, scratching his head and wondering.

"This is a good thing. Materialist philosophy tells us that we must use dialectics to look at problems. Things usually have pros and cons. What Uncle Zhang just said is a good side, but it also leads to a bad side.

"Hu Mingchen said.

"Haha, what a dialectical way to look at the problem. I didn't expect that you, a junior high school student, would use dialectics at such a young age. So tell me, what is the bad aspect?" While praising Hu Mingchen, Zhang Weidong expressed his interest.

And really brought it up.

"First of all, when these young people go out, there will be a shortage of labor in the countryside, and agricultural production is bound to be affected. Secondly, when young people go out, they will leave empty-nesters and left-behind children at home. The care of the elderly and the care of the children will be

Education will be a problem, especially for children, because their parents are not around, and their studies will be difficult.

How to proceed and ensure that most of the grandparents are uneducated and conservative in their thinking. It is almost impossible for these children to become fond of learning and learn well. Even the safety of the children cannot be guaranteed. Thirdly, a large number of young people

Loss will inevitably affect the economy. You must know that our main consumers are young people.

Although people make money outside, they also consume outside. Therefore, not only the secondary industry in coastal cities is booming, but the tertiary industry is also booming. But on the other hand, we are in trouble here, losing a large number of consumer groups, and the economy wants to develop at a high speed.

Development lacks momentum. Another point is that many people think that these young people are working.

People will come back after learning a trade. In fact, most of them probably won’t be able to come back. For example, how many of our children who have taken the exams to go to college have come back? This will actually be a vicious cycle, because there will be no good people who come back.

The working conditions and living environment are not good. Even if you come back one day when you are old, it will increase the local welfare costs."
