Chapter 52: Cloud Shadow in January 1996
Cloud Shadow in January 1996
Before the Chinese New Year, I spent a lot of money on bulky tools and daily necessities. This time, my parents helped me.
They knew that I was going to take these things belonging to the civilized world to that wild village and never objected. They knew nothing about that world and could only trust my judgment.
This time, I brought more things than last month, and I ate more than usual. Half a sheep and a pig's hind leg were several times more abundant than usual.
A few cartons of clothes for my child and I didn't have before. I'm used to being thrifty and frugal in the opposite world. If my parents insisted that I also get a wardrobe in the opposite world, I would also wear a set of leather armor from the beginning of the month to the end of the month. .
My parents think more carefully than I do. I think of big tools like shovels, axes, and pickaxes, but I don't think like my parents can think of taking needles, thread and scissors to the other side of the world. With With scissors, thick needles and strong cotton thread, the people of Luhe Village can make leather into stronger clothes, which will be very helpful for keeping out the cold in winter.
On the first night of the new year, my parents did not rest. They stood with me in a house full of various things, waiting for the early morning.
The stone door appeared and opened, and the world became pure black and white. My parents stood there like frozen sculptures, and they couldn't feel what was happening right now.
I carry things by myself, and occasionally look up at them, maybe in their eyes, everything on the ground will disappear in a second, only their son has a little longer hair and a little taller, with another world of native products stood in front of them.
I walked through the stone gate, and when it slammed shut, it also locked my parents in the opposite side, and time resumed flowing, and I was a little bit reluctant.
On the empty and warm stone kang, my son was sleeping soundly, leaning on Ah Fu's belly. I carefully went over to touch the sleeping son and put a small blanket over him, and then I lay down beside them and closed my eyes.
For the son who may not have started to remember, his father is with him every day, but for his father, his time with him is only half of the time. When the father goes to live in another world, he will think of him every night. He is Dad's worried little baby.
The next morning, I got up early and made a hearty breakfast. For the first time, Wang Jerry was able to eat meat by himself. He ate the chicken thighs with oil in his mouth, giggling happily, and the little scarf on his chest was full of oil stains.
Ana was sprayed with insect repellent again. The fleas and bed bugs had been basically cleaned up. She buried her head in the basin and devoured it. The chunks of mutton were tender and delicious, and her bones were chewed and swallowed.
Ah Fu's appetite is also very good. After breakfast, the thief wanted to go to sleep on the kang and go back to sleep. I slapped my butt and was reluctant to follow my sister out. Before leaving, he took the hand of Wang Jerry. Half a chicken leg made Wang Jerry cry.
After finally coaxing Wang Jerry, he held him and showed him photos of his grandparents. He had never seen the photos before, and was very curious about the strangers in the pictures.
"You can't eat this, look, this is Grandpa, come, tell me, "Master~Master~" I pointed to his unmasked relatives.
"Night~night~" Wang Jerry looked at my mouth and pacifier, and his words were clearly articulated.
"Awesome! This is grandma, tell my dad, milk~ milk~!"
"Nah~ nah~!" Wang Jerry giggled and danced. He was always very happy when he was praised by me.
"Look who this little guy is? Isn't he a cute baby?" I asked him.
"Dad! Daddy!" Wang Jerry called out, pointing to the person holding him in the photo, while looking at me: "Dad!"
"That's right, that's smart! This is Daddy, what Daddy is holding is you, and this is Jerry!
" Jay...Ray...Dad!" His little finger pointed at me again.
It seemed that he didn't know that he was in my arms, and I realized that there was no mirror in our house.
My parents are right. My house is really rudimentary. There is almost no furniture except leather carpets and a few simple wooden tables and chairs. Next time, I must remember to bring a mirror, and other things should be added. Some, I wrote down my thoughts in a notepad so I wouldn't forget them.
I went out with my son in the afternoon and told the village chief that I was planning to sell a batch of fine tools at a low price. The old village chief was so excited that he almost jumped up, and the others were even more eager to hear it.
Rebar spears, long steel pipes, axes, iron picks, and iron pots are all magical weapons that the villagers could never dream of. I am willing to give them to them at a very low price, which is no different from giving them away for nothing.
The tools I brought were an eye-opener to the villagers, many of which they had never seen before. After I demonstrated them, they rushed to try them out, and they immediately fell in love with these tools.
The needles and scissors surprised the villagers. The bone needles and wooden needles they used were thick, blunt and easy to break. The twine was also very weak. The cotton thread I brought was very thin and tough, which was incredible. The villagers were very quick to use it. , I like to sew linen and leather into the shape I want.
The tools are not free, except for the shovel promised to them as the price of occupying the quarry, I have to charge a small amount of gold for other tools.
If you don't have gold coins to work for me, you can also get my tools. I ask them to shovel the dirt from the village road, pick up the stones inside and pile them into the fields. I also ask them to take new pickaxes and hammers. Gang Jian went to the quarry to use stones to pave the way for the village. Each family was assigned only a small section, which could be done in a few hours or ten days a day. Everyone in the village knew that they had taken advantage of a lot of money and rushed to work.
The mud-legged people in Luhe Village often do annoying things, but when they have enough benefits, they have a lot of energy to do things. In my opinion, the road is very ordinary, but it is strong enough, and it is better than the previous dung pits. Hundreds of times.
Another thing is to ask the villagers not to defecate anywhere in the future. I want every household to dig a large pit near the house to make a dry toilet with a squatting seat. In the future, they can only defecate in the toilet, and the dung bucket can only be used. If you pour it inside, whoever dares to dump the dung bucket or urinate anywhere in the village will have to go to my quarry to be a "volunteer" if I catch them, and if they don't cooperate, they will be beaten.
In fact, my request was suspected of overstepping the village head and setting rules for the village, which was clearly not to give the old village head face, but the old village head did not care about me. Although the secretary did not understand why I insisted on digging I built a toilet in the pit, but I still became my supporter because I brought so many good things to the village.
The advanced and sturdy tools have benefited everyone in Luhe Village. In the past month, people in Luhe Village have cut down more than several times more wood than in previous years. Not only every household has tall firewood stacks, but also more simple wooden furniture at home. Some people even remove the branch thatched roof in winter and replace it with a stronger wooden roof with good wood.
The progress of road construction in the village is very gratifying. There are shovels, iron picks and hammers. The work that used to be quarrying by six or seven people can now be done quickly and well by an adult. The villagers simply love these tools, and some people sleep. Pillow the tools under their heads, because that's where they live.
The witch doctor aunt couldn't put it down with the sophisticated tools. She knew that it was not very useful to hold those things, but she still liked it. She said that with such good things, Luhe Village would change greatly in just a few years.
Tools have indeed brought great changes to Luhe Village, but not as much as threaded steel bars and steel pipes have brought to Luhe Village.
The garrison of Luhe Village has been strengthened unprecedentedly after every household has obtained steel rods and steel pipes. In front of steel pipes, short iron swords are like toys, but in front of threaded steel bars, small wooden shields and pitchforks are not worthy of being called weapons.
In the past, the village was afraid of large beasts because there were no weapons in the village that could cause damage to large beasts with rough skin and flesh. Now it is different. Those heavy iron kitchen knives can severely damage ordinary beasts, and four or five armed with sharp threaded steel bars Even if an adult encounters a bear, they dare to rush up and fight.
Under my arrangement, the news that there are treasures like "Luhe Stone" in Luhe Village will spread sooner or later, and these various high-quality tools and more powerful weapons are the capital of Luhe Village.
