Chapter 1825: The Torch Festival Did Not Celebrate
Liang Guangping and Liu Hongtao looked at each other, but this was something they never expected.
The overall level of the country's information industry is still relatively low. Those who can build its solar-powered satellite network computer room are considered "technical experts" in their minds. At least they are those who majored in computer science. Among their classmates, they had never heard of anyone with Zhou Zhi's ability, so from the beginning, the two of them prejudged that Zhou Zhi majored in computer science. Only now did they realize that this talented person actually majored in Chinese.
“You are not majoring in computer science, right?” Zhou Zhi smiled and said, “So we are all enthusiasts.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the relationship between the several people immediately became closer. The two of them must have been holding back a bit too much in Lianhe Township, and they couldn't stop talking once they started talking.
Zhou Zhi, of course, knew Lianhe Township better than Liang Guangping and Liu Hongtao, including the mountain, so he could answer many of their questions.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Zhi said to the two of them: "It's too troublesome to do this now. Speaking of the satellite base station, your scientific research institute needs it more. If we have time another day, we will dismantle it and move it. Go to your place?"
"Are you serious?" The two college students were very happy. If that were the case, they wouldn't have to go to the township department so often to send documents.
“The upper floor of the Tusi Building here is a pure wooden building. I am terrified to install the UPS computer room here.” Zhou Zhi said: “It’s not that I’m afraid of being burned, it’s that I’m afraid of burning this two-hundred-year-old building. "How do you know that earth building is more than two hundred years old?" Liu Hongtao was a little confused.
"Because when installing solar photovoltaic panels, I found a curse buried by the ink master on the roof beam, which said the eighth year of Daoguang."
"What year is the eighth year of Daoguang?" Liang Guangping His eyes turned clear and stupid again.
“1828.”
“Oh, I know, that year Weile invented urea.”
“The rest is 18. 40, Opium War”
Well, you are both right. Zhou Zhi secretly laughed. This is indeed the case for college students nowadays. You can't require those who study agriculture to know history, and those who study physics to know biology. The majors are divided too deeply.
In fact, there was another major event that year. The generals of the Daoguang faction put down the Zhangger rebellion in Huijiang. The Qing Dynasty was about to revive. Emperor Daoguang was very involved in everything. He was known for his frugality and used the sea to send water. He came into contact with the mining ban, put down the Huijiang rebellion, banned opium, etc. He was a monarch who worked hard to govern.
It is a pity that the old agricultural empire is still governed in the same way, so it "sticks to the status quo and does not know how to change". In the end, it was beaten by the industrial powers and signed the first unequal treaty, which started a century of humiliation in modern times. gate.
In fact, Lianhe Township used to "keep to the status quo and not notice the changes." The spring breeze of reform did not blow here. The situation in the township also left Lao Chiri and Tu Liangzhi somewhat helpless.
The arrival of Zhou Zhi also kicked open the closed door, but he brought agricultural technology and excellent fruit seedlings, as well as televisions, large radios, electric lights, telephones and satellite networks, making the mountainous countryside begin to change. Huge changes.
"Hey - brother elbow is back -"
A group of little kids were swimming in the river bend below the Lianhe Township Grain Station. They were all naked buttocks, as shiny as cockroaches in the sun. When I saw the yellow Land Rover Defender appearing on the road, none of them wore any clothes and ran up from the river beach naked: "Brother Elbow, Brother Elbow——"
"Muxialaha! Muxialaha! Muxialaha! Nailahei! "Yueri, Erye, Erxia!" Zhou Zhi called the names one by one: "Have you finished your holiday homework? It's the beginning of autumn. Don't soak in the water!"
But the Yi children don't seem to do this, Mu Xia Laha jumped. He stood on his feet and said: "Brother Jiuzi, have you brought us something delicious?"
"Go down and get dressed and gather at school!" Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "There's more than just delicious food!" The children cheered and turned around Ran away.
The enthusiasm surprised Liang Guangping and Liu Hongtao. They are still in the stage of testing each other with the children from the rural primary school. Neither party has shown the desire and enthusiasm for contact. Now they see the attitude of the children and Zhou Zhi. , can’t help but feel a little envious.
"I have a request about moving the base station." Zhou Zhi drove the car to the entrance of the grain station and stopped, pulling out the car key and saying.
“What’s the request?” Liu Hongtao asked.
“Your Academy of Agricultural Sciences base wants to help our rural primary school.” Zhou Zhi said: “How about sending people to be our primary school substitute teachers on a regular basis?”
"Hey, what's the big deal for me? This is simple!" Liu Hongtao quickly agreed: "You can't regret it."
"It's a shame to regret it," Zhou Zhi said, "But I want to keep the solar system. , the UPS computer room connects your own electricity, no problem, right? ?”
“No problem! There is no problem at all!” Liang Guangping and Liu Hongtao agreed. The local government’s support for the base is still very strong. Except for the power supply in the entire region, it is a bit awkward. I really did everything I could do.
The attitude is really in place, but the rest is indeed limited in strength.
"Elbow is back?" Lao Chiri, holding an orchid pipe in his mouth, followed the black dragon at his feet to the door, and greeted him with a smile: "Hey, Liang Wazi and Liu Wazi are here too?"
"Hey, hey, Grandpa Chiri, we're here to borrow equipment again."
"Don't leave now, come drink with me! Let's push the bean curd and kill a chicken to catch the wind!"
"Ah this..."
"Black Dragon, get out of the way, get out of the way!" The words were just here, Zhou Zhi didn't even have time to say hello to Lao Chiri. Phew, two more people ran out of the door, one was Wu Renzhong and the other was Jike Azi. The two of them were surprisingly consistent. They both spread their hands: "Where are my things?!"
I was so angry Chiri banged his pipe against the door frame from behind: "There are no people blocking the door asking for something! Put your elbows down first and go in to talk!"
"Grandpa Chiri, I'm back, everyone is fine?"
"Everyone is fine!" Old Chiri said with a smile, "Oh, it's just that you are not at the Torch Festival, and everyone is fussing over it!"
The Torch Festival is one of the most important festivals of the Yi people. It originated from the legend that Ashmoo taught the Yi people to use torches to drive away pests.
Ashima is actually a transliteration, and there is another transliteration that everyone is more familiar with - Ashima.
The festival generally lasts for three days and three nights. The first day is a fire sacrifice. The village will kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine and meat to worship the ancestors, and divide the meat. The old people will build an altar, and Bimo will use flints. The sacred fire is lit, and then prayers are chanted to offer sacrifices to the fire. Then each household lights a torch and parades through the fields to simulate driving away pests.
The next day is for fun. Everyone will gather under the altar to hold various celebrations. Young men and women must dress up beautifully. The boys will imitate the brave Atilaba, and the girls will imitate Ashima. This is actually a way to travel. During the blind date, those who fell in love with each other went on a date in the woods by the mountains and streams at night, playing the yueqin, plucking the mouth strings, and singing love songs. It was very romantic.
Except for these young children who do not participate in group activities, most people will light torches and come out of their homes as soon as it gets dark, singing torch songs all the way, and eventually form a winding fire dragon in front of the altar. The torches were piled together in the square to form a big bonfire, and everyone danced, sang and laughed together.
