Mr. Zhou left, and the members of the Qinghe Club sat in the dormitory feeling a little worried.
The enthusiasm that surged in my blood when I first came here and was determined to stand on the last duty has gradually subsided. In fact, this is exactly the case. Most successful people in this world rely not on enthusiasm and motivation, but on absolute strength.
of perseverance.
Although the dormitory is a newly built school building, it is still a bit damp inside because it is newly built.
It was mid-January, and it was so cold that everyone kept their hands in their pockets and refused to take them out. Liu Bing looked through the things stored in the dormitory, just a little rice, noodles, and some vegetable leaves...
It seems like you won't be hungry if you have rice and noodles. There is a public kitchen next to the school building. There are two large stoves supporting two large pots, and there is also firewood underneath.
There is some ordinary oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar placed next to the stove. Ren He is quite satisfied with this. At least with these things, the cooking will not be tasteless. Whether it tastes good or not is another matter.
Ren He does know how to cook, but he has no intention of doing it at all. Otherwise, why would these people suffer when they come here? Of course, suffering must be comprehensive. If you cook for yourself, you know how uncomfortable it is for your parents to cook for you every day.
It's easy. Don't be picky when you eat in the future.
Some children are so blessed that they don't know how to be blessed. Their parents make them look bad when they make something they don't like. They don't know who got them into this bad habit, and they never thought about cooking a meal for their parents.
The rules Ren He gave them were to eat three meals a day on time, cook by themselves, and they would be hungry if they didn't eat. They were not allowed to go out to buy anything, and they couldn't buy it. There wasn't even a decent small shop in the whole village.
Usually, whoever goes out to buy daily necessities for the villagers in the village brings some back for everyone.
Moreover, these people don't have a penny in their hands, and they can't even buy anything...
When everyone was preparing to cook in the afternoon, they found that... there was no water...
What the hell, how can we cook without water? Everyone was confused. Ren He said: "Today Jiang Haoyang will go with me to fetch water, and the day after tomorrow Liu Bing, Li Yifan, and Liu Jiamin are girls and don't have to fetch water. They fetch water once every two days.
Take turns."
"Sure," Liu Bing and Li Yifan were happy to hear that they didn't have to go to Dashui today: "Jiang Haoyang will go with you today."
The tools for flooding are four iron buckets the size of a trash can and two poles. These iron buckets are just made of a layer of iron sheets and are actually lighter than wooden buckets.
Ren He took Jiang Haoyang out. Jiang Haoyang's face was all dark. When Ren He went out, he turned around and said: "But you two are not fine. Go and collect some firewood. One is to make a fire for cooking, and the other is to make a fire."
To keep warm at night, remember to pick up more, tie it up with a rope and carry it back."
"It's all right," Liu Bing and Li Yifan said swornly.
It was still dark at this time. Ren He asked the villagers where the well was and took Jiang Haoyang to the east along the small dirt road. However, after walking for almost half an hour, he still didn't reach the place. Jiang Haoyang felt a little bit pained.
: "How far are we still?"
The well is ten miles away. Mr. Zhou told himself that the well was built by raising funds from three nearby villages, so it must be located in the middle of these three villages. And this well was built very helplessly. Wells with a depth of more than 100 meters are generally
The next step is to add a high-pressure water pump and a pressure switch, but there is no electricity here, how to add a high-pressure pump?! So we can only get water manually.
Many people cannot even imagine that there are such deep wells with manual water extraction, but this is a reality.
In fact, there are many deep wells, even several hundred meters deep in the desert.
Ten kilometers, if it was flat ground, the two of them should have walked there, but this was a mountain road, so it took the two of them nearly two hours to get there!
When we walked to the place, Jiang Haoyang felt a little weak. He was sweating all over in the winter. If he had to carry water back again, wouldn't he die on the way?
But when he saw the well, he was a little confused: there was a wooden shaft that could rotate on a narrow well, and a rope was wrapped around it. The wooden shaft was about twice as thick as an adult's arm.
But the rope hanging the barrel was wrapped around two people's waists. It was such a long hemp rope. Just think about it and you know how deep the well is!
This is the most primitive manifestation of poverty. The villagers here have to fetch water like this every day and then walk 20 kilometers back and forth. How can they be willing to use water to bathe in this situation? This is for survival.
Jiang Haoyang finally understood why the children surrounding them were so dirty and couldn't help but be dirty.
When Jiang Haoyang came here, the reality here subverted his world view again and again. His outlook on life, values, and world view were being violently impacted by this rough primitive world. Not only Jiang Haoyang, but also Liu Bing, Li Yifan,
Liu Jiamin, and even Ren He himself.
This is a process of reshaping three views. Everyone will be very painful during this process, but when they walk out from here, they will be better elites.
At that time, they really understood what suffering is, rather than just complaining about nothing. They would also understand how happy it is to help others. Instead of being selfish only for themselves and not considering others, facts have proved that too
Selfish people will not end well.
Ren He hopes that everyone in the Qinghe Club will not only have the smart decisions of No. 4 Middle School, but also have the hard-working spirit and perseverance to fight for their dreams.
Ren He slowly put the barrel down, and it took several minutes before the barrel came close to the water. He first let the barrel float on the water, then pulled the rope to tilt the barrel, and the water slowly flowed into the barrel.
.
It's more than a hundred meters deep and you can't see anything below. It's all about feeling.
Then it was time to pull up, and a full bucket of water came up.
Seeing the novelty, Jiang Haoyang volunteered to give it a try. As a result, he used all his strength to get the second bucket of water, but it was less than a quarter of the way from the water. It turned out that the seemingly simple process of getting water from a well was the same.
Difficult! It was hard for him to imagine how the villagers here lived!
When the third and fourth buckets were filled, Ren He glanced at Jiang Haoyang and said, "I'll give you a little less, so you won't be able to carry it when you go back."
Walking ten miles is already tiring enough. If he really had to carry two buckets of water back, Jiang Haoyang would probably die on the road.
So Ren He finally poured only a quarter of the water into each bucket for him. Jiang Haoyang was so moved: "Brother, you are really my brother!" Now it was difficult for him to drink water here.
Jiang Haoyang is now looking forward to the day when Liu Bing and Li Yifan come to fetch water...
However, Jiang Haoyang suddenly found that he was almost as tired as a dog carrying a quarter of the water. No, he was worse than a dog...
But Ren He was carrying two full buckets of water as if nothing had happened, walking on flat ground!
My mother, what kind of physical fitness is this?!
