Chapter 1656 Art and Ugliness
"Black Dragon, follow me!" Zhou Zhi held up a large basket in one hand and waved his other hand, calling for Black Dragon to join him.
"You are really smart." Chiri couldn't help but feel happy. This kid was far smarter than Wu Wazi.
In fact, Zhou Zhi also suffered the loss of not bringing a black dragon with him in his previous life. Of course, he has experience in this life so that he will not miss it.
Two people and a dog came out of the grain station and started walking around the country roads.
Lianhe Township is not big. It is divided into several villages scattered in several surrounding valleys. This is just the largest one, with about a hundred households.
But every family has one thing in common - poverty.
There is not a single brick house in the whole village, with clear mud brick walls, rammed mud walls, bamboo strips mud walls, and wooden board walls.
Except for the roofs of the grain depot and Ziqi Aguo's house, which are covered with green tiles, the rest are mostly made of linoleum. The more sophisticated ones are just a layer of bark on top of the linoleum.
Oil felt is also called petroleum asphalt waterproof felt. It is the cheapest waterproof material, but it has two huge disadvantages. One is that it will emit toxic gases, and the other is that it is very flammable and will be completely destroyed in a few years. The world will clearly prohibit production and use.
But now it is the best solution for the poor Yi people to solve the problem of rain leakage.
A family basically has one room, and the living area is around the firepit. Except for a few clothes and a few cooking utensils, there is nothing extra in the house.
There is not enough food for people to eat. Except for goats that can be left in the wild to forage for food, it is naturally impossible to raise poultry and livestock. As for bathrooms, there is no bathroom. You can wait until the weather is hottest to take a bath. When you are out, just wash it in the ditch below, so you can deal with it in the wild if it is convenient.
Many Yi people were squatting under the eaves, some holding two potatoes in their hands, gnawing on them as they watched Chi Ri and Zhou Zhi walking over, and then greeted the two of them enthusiastically in Yi language.
Chi Ri clasped his hands behind his back and chatted casually to the Yi people. Almost all the squatting Yi people would stand up halfway when they saw him, and then nodded their heads a few times, with extremely respectful expressions.
Yesterday, Zhou Zhi drove here in a car. This matter had spread throughout the village. Zhou Zhi smiled and nodded to these Yi people. If there is a child behind the Yi people who received Zhou Zhi's candy yesterday, Smiling and waving to them, the children would shout: "Ata! Amo! This is the big brother who gave me sweets yesterday!"
The parents of the children would tell Zhou Zhi whether they could listen or not. If you understand, you will smile at him even more enthusiastically.
After walking around, Zhou Zhi discovered that this village was not much different from the one before he came to the last life. Except that the people were younger and there was one less rural elementary school, it is estimated that this village has been a long time ago. Like this.
The only difference is that Tusi is gone, the Tusi compound has become a government grain depot, and everyone has linoleum on their roofs, that's all.
"I heard that life outside is getting better?" Lao Chiri muttered vaguely when he returned to the grain station after taking Zhou Zhi for a tour.
"We'll be fine after the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China." Zhou Zhi heard this and replied: "In the first year of household quotas, our crops received eight to nine hundred kilograms per acre, and every family gained more than a thousand kilograms." The stock of chickens, ducks and geese was raised. At that time, our county was already a famous pig county in the country. By the next year, almost every household was raising big fat pigs. , when the pigs were killed during the Spring Festival the next year, the village became prosperous. In those years, even the county was envious of the countryside. "
"Then the boundaries of your county should be designated," said Lao Chiri. Unlike here, the land is thin and the climate is not good. People can only eat three kinds of buckwheat, potato and corn, and can only raise a few sheep. "< br>
“The first step is to have electricity, and the second step is to have roads.” Zhou Zhi said: “I came over yesterday and saw that Lianhe Township is indeed a little annoying to grow food, but it is uniquely endowed with Chinese medicinal materials and fruits. ”
“But if you grow these two things, you have to go through a process of exchanging products for food. To maintain the yield, you have to keep watering. Without electricity to pump water, we have to rely on the weather to survive. Without road transportation, things cannot be transported. "So we have to be poor," Lao Chiri said, "The richest person in the village is Zi." Qi Aguo's family, he Atahan said well, went to Yazhou to work with others, and I heard that he is now a contractor. "
"Ziqi Aguo invited me to stay at her house yesterday. She is a good girl." "Nowadays, many things in the village are still counting on her Ata." Chiri said: "But occasionally it is necessary to rescue the emergency and help the poor. That is true. I can't save him..."
"Well, let's do it step by step. Today, we should This can solve part of the electricity problem."
"Oh? How to do it?"
"The most directly available energy here is solar energy and wind energy," Zhou Zhi said. I bought a solar power equipment and it was shipped a few days ago. It should arrive today.”
Chiri couldn't help but quicken his pace: "Abi should have made breakfast. Let's go back and have breakfast."
Breakfast was yesterday's leftovers, and Abi also mixed a pot of corn. Gosh, halfway through eating, the dolls came over and started running and playing in the playground.
“How many classes are there in the school?” Zhou Zhi asked Tu Liangzhi.
"How many more classes can there be? None of us are serious teachers. Whoever has time between Renzhong and I will teach." Tu Liangzhi said: "All in one class."
"That course What?”
"The courses are Chinese, mathematics, and Abi teaches them music and Yi language. The Yi language is a textbook written by Atta. They are all Birji and legends."
Wu Renzhong is on the side. Holding a cup of corn mush and drinking it while having fun: "Actually, There is another one. Uncle Tu himself said it was art, but Grandpa Chiri said it was ugly art."
"Pfft..." Zhou Zhi couldn't help but blurt out: "I know. Mo’s painting is also first-rate, Grandpa Chiri is not Do you plan to teach it yourself? "
"Uncle Tu refused, saying that the things grandpa painted were a bit scary, but the children were not afraid, and the adults in their family were a little scared."
Zhou Zhi understood. Things drawn by Jike Chiri It may indeed be beautiful, and it may be similar to the silk paintings in Mawangdui, but the silk paintings in Mawangdui are guide albums that lead the souls of the dead to ascend to the heavenly realm, which is equivalent to the "ascension guide". In the eyes of the Yi people, Dabimo's paintings may not be the same. It also has the same magic power.
This is no longer reasonable.
"If you are not busy today...will you come?" Tu Liangzhi said: "The tartary buckwheat and potato are about to be planted. I am going to tell you how to use chemical fertilizers."
“What? No one is willing to use chemical fertilizers yet?”
“The main reason is that no one is willing to use it. I feel guilty after using it." Tu Liangzhi said: "By the way, can you use it?"
"Yes, I can use it, but I really don't know how to use it with potato and tartary buckwheat." Zhou Zhi said. : "I only know how to use rice, sweet potatoes, rapeseed, and wheat."
These were learned from Yang He when he was naughty in the countryside.
“The county has distributed two books, but some of them are incomprehensible.” Tu Liangzhi was troubled.
"Why don't you show it to me?" Zhou Zhi said, "Maybe I can understand it?"
"Hi! Isn't this a college student in front of you?" Tu Liangzhi patted him Thigh: "We have classes in Renzhong today, and I and I are going to study agricultural books!"
