"Hey hey hey!" "Hahaha!" "Hehehe..." The roar of laughter rang out again. The only person not laughing at the scene was Tokihiro himself. Even the children who didn't understand anything also
Following the adults, he was giggling inexplicably.
"This...hehe! Isn't it because I can't figure out what this thing is? And I'm afraid of damaging my reputation as a worldly person, so I told you that this thing belongs to the public based on some old experiences in the past.
, Alas! I didn’t expect that I would really lose all my face this time. It seems that if I have the opportunity in the future, I really want to go out and visit more places to gain more experience.”
"Uncle Shi Guang, you are right. The world outside is changing very fast now. If we continue to stay in this remote mountainous area in a remote area, we will not even be able to get out of our own mountain villages and communes, let alone
If we go out of our county, our province and the poor northwest region, not only will we not be able to see the progress outside, but we will be further and further left behind.
Especially our younger generation, if we continue to do what we did before, apart from going to the market town where the commune is located to buy some daily necessities, we will never even want to take a look at the county town where we live. If we come down like that, we will use the motorcycle exhaust pipe in the future.
There will be a lot of jokes about distinguishing male and female animals, so I suggest that everyone try to go out and walk as much as possible in the future.
Only if we go out and see more and learn more can we avoid making a joke, and it is also possible that in the future, every household will be able to have a motorcycle rider. At this point, I don’t know if you have heard of it.
However, our country is preparing to build a communist society. If it can be realized, then upstairs and downstairs, lights and telephones, and every household will be able to achieve what they want."
"Brother Tiezhu, I heard from the elders in the past that isn't our place a pretty good place? The elders often said that compared to other mountain villages, although our small mountain village is not the best, it is still average.
I went to the village, but what did you say about me just now?
Are we here in a remote mountainous area in a remote area? Is our place really that unbearable? Also, I barely know what upstairs and downstairs mean, but what are lights and telephones? This is what we have always said.
Never heard of it!
In addition, you just talked about communism and society. What is this new thing? How come you have only been in the county for two or three years and learned so much? It seems that I will also have to learn from you in the future.
You study, go out and learn more and practice."
"What is a communist society? In fact, I don't understand it at all. I heard from the leaders in our post and telecommunications office that communism means that everyone gets money every month and eats white-flour steamed buns every day, and it's completely
With enough food to eat, chickens, ducks, meat and other meats are available every day to satisfy our cravings, and every family can live in a building. That kind of building is not rare in our village.
Compared with the newly built buildings in the city, the two buildings in our village are not buildings at all. They can only be regarded as a layer at most. The newly built buildings in the city are really
It can be considered a building.
That kind of building has one floor per floor. The two buildings in our village are nothing more than a taller house with half a small attic partitioned off. It is only one and a half floors at best. Nowadays, the buildings in the county town not only have
There are several large two-story buildings, that is
There are now two large three-story buildings. Those two buildings give people the feeling of passing through the clouds. They are not only very grand, but also very majestic. When Uncle Shi Guang went to the county seat,
At that time, there wasn’t even a single building there.”
"Yes, Tie Zhu is right. When I went to the county ten years ago, apart from a dozen or so loft-style buildings like the two in our village, they were nothing more than large tile-roofed houses with brick and wood structures.
That’s just a lot. If that kind of attic is not a building, then there really wasn’t even a building in the county at that time. I really want to see what the building looks like.”
Just when Tie Zhu was about to continue explaining, Shi Guang, because Tie Zhu mentioned that he went to the county ten years ago during the explanation, immediately picked up the topic that Tie Zhu just talked about and helped Tie Zhu introduce it.
Consider the situation in the county ten years ago.
"Haha! Uncle Shi Guang, as long as you go to the county town, you can see it, because such a tall building stands in the county town and can be seen from a long distance. There is no need to look for it, and the red bricks of the building are also
It is very new, so it is particularly easy to attract everyone's attention. Not to mention arriving in the county seat, you can see it from two kilometers away, no matter you are standing high or low."
Iron Column is not bragging about this. At that time, cement called cement had just come out and the quantity produced was extremely rare. Therefore, it was impossible to plaster exterior walls with cement mortar. Therefore, the buildings built at that time were
Basically, the exterior walls will not be processed. The color of the natural bricks will be the same color as the exterior walls of the building. There will be no mistake.
"As for electric lights and telephones, I know even less. All I know is that these two things require a thing called electricity. They can only be used after they are connected. Otherwise, there will be no
Function, if the electric light is
When the electricity is turned on, it will light up in the blink of an eye. If the brightness is at night, even if we light ten oil lamps, one lamp may not be bright enough, and other people's electric lamps will not overflow with fumes and choke people.
If the house is blackened, it will not be blown away by the wind.
There is also the phone, which is a black thing slightly smaller than the kettle we use to store wheat. On top of it is a short black...short stick with both ends bent inward, and there is a small rocker next to it.
handle, as long as you turn the small crank a few times, it will be thousands
The person you want to talk to who is miles away will also be able to chat or do things with him after several phone transfers. After half a cup of tea, of course, the premise is that you have that person.
It has to be something with electricity, otherwise it’s a dead thing.”
"What? You can chat thousands of miles away, doesn't that make you a shunfeng ear? Have you ever seen this... this thing? Brother Tiezhu, you are not lying to us, are you? Those shunfeng ears are only possessed by gods.
How can one normally have the ability?"
"Ahem! Brother, do I need to lie to you? If I lie to you, if you go to the county town to find out more about it, won't the lie be exposed as soon as it is revealed? Besides, what is the job of our post and telecommunications office? We
In addition to sending and receiving mail and telegrams, the Post and Telecommunications Bureau
In addition, the most important task now is to set up telephone lines, install telephones for units that have been approved to install telephones, and ensure that these installed telephones can be connected at all times. In other words, we are in charge of the telephones, and this can still help.
False?
The Shunfeng ears you mentioned are all things in myths and legends. Whether they exist or not is really unclear. Even if Shunfeng ears exist, according to the legend, Shunfeng ears can only hear unobstructed sounds.
, once there is something blocking the sound in front of it, logically speaking, ears downwind may not be able to hear the sound coming from behind the obstruction."
"Ah! Brother Tiezhu, are you in charge of the phone? Then if I can go to the county in the future, you must let me see that phone thing and let me see how magical that thing is, hehe
!Just thinking about it makes me itchy.”
"Brother, why am I in charge of the telephone? Our post and telecommunications office should be in charge of the telephone. I don't have that much power. But if you come to the county seat, I will let you see what a telephone is. It's still okay. As long as you don't
If you mess with the phone, just stand by the phone and watch the leaders quietly how to use the phone, there will be no problem, otherwise I will have to say sorry.
Okay, I have almost answered the questions that need to be answered. If there are no other questions, it is time for me to set off back to the county. In order to be able to come back by the way this time, since I did not ask for leave from the leader, I went here early this morning
I left from our post office
Fa, I rushed to the commune not long after dawn. After handing over the mail and newspapers, I got on my motorcycle and hurried back. If I don’t rush back quickly, I will go back to the county today.
It might be very late to arrive.”
"Good boy! Tiezhu! You just set out this morning and have to rush back in the evening. This round trip is nearly 800 miles away! It's hard to imagine that when I went to the county seat ten years ago, it was just a round trip.
The time spent on the road is spent
It took me six days, and even that made me very tired. I rested for two days when I got to the county seat, and four full days when I got home. I finally managed to regain my strength. One day
It's incredible how time can go back and forth.
By the way, Tie Zhu, I have another question that I want to ask you about. This thing called a motorcycle, even if it is as you said, it does not know how tired it is and does not need to eat. It only needs to burn some oil, but it is so small.
Can it run so far with oil in an iron box?"
"Haha! Uncle Shi Guang, you are indeed the most knowledgeable person in our village. You can think of the key points of this kind of problem that you have never been exposed to. What you said is absolutely right, as for motorcycles
The current tank of gasoline is enough for me to run from the county seat to our village and then back to our commune. I have already thought of this problem, so when I came out this time, I had already brought another tank with me.
I temporarily stored the tin cans of gasoline in the commune for the convenience of returning home."
