"Okay." Tian Erhe turned around and said jokingly to Shang Jian Yao, "Now you know how difficult it is to maintain order in such a settlement, right?"
Jiang Baimian did not want to continue to stimulate Shang Jianyao, took the conversation, and asked instead:
"Mayor, when we came in just now, there didn't seem to be so many children? They were working with adults?"
Tian Erhe turned his body sideways and pointed to the three buildings in the shape of "品":
"They have classes over there, and the adults don't have to until they come back."
"Class?" Jiang Baimian raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you still maintain a classroom-style education?"
This is a very rare thing outside of the big forces, in the many wilderness homeless settlements on the dust, at least those settlements that Jiang Baimian has visited before.
For people who are struggling to survive, it is completely unnecessary to organize classroom-style education, which is a waste of energy and resources-manpower is a very important part of resources, teachers who are not working and do not help in the field at home 'S children are luxury items in many settlements.
In those places, parents and elders can occasionally provide children with some instruction in their daily lives to help them gain common sense, learn to farm, gather, cook, clean, shoot, hunt, and take babies.
Tian Erhe smiled and said:
"Every time a foreigner enters Shuiwei Town and discovers this, it will be very surprised. Indeed, it is not easy to maintain a'school' under our conditions. Everyone saves and saves, tightening the belt. I didn't let this tradition break."
He raised his head subconsciously, looked at the dimly rainy evening sky, and said with emotion:
"The first person who proposed that children receive formal education was an uncle named Shen Liuxin.
"He said: No matter how difficult it is, the children still have to be literate, read, and learn the most basic knowledge. Only in this way can they and their descendants, the future residents of Shuiwei Town, remember who they are and where they come from. What kind of group they belong to, what kind of culture and history they have had. Only by always remembering these can they persevere with anticipation in a bad environment, in the
darkness
where there is no hope.
"At that time, although I agreed with Uncle Shen's proposal, what I thought was actually very simple: every time I moved back from the ruins of the city, in the manual, I did not know some words, and even if I did, they were connected together. After that, I often don’t know what it means. It’s impossible to use the items effectively. How can this work?
"This kind of thinking is really simple. In the past few years, I have gradually understood what Uncle Shen said."
Speaking of this, Tian Erhe stood up and pointed to the three building roads in the shape of "品":
"Do you know where this was once?"
Bai Chen, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong shook their heads at the same time.
"This is the former school in Shuiwei Town. There is a basketball court, there is a flag-raising platform, there is a teacher's dormitory, there is a student dormitory, there is a computer, books and laboratory building, there is a teaching building..." Tian Erhe Introduced one by one, with a little charcoal fire on his face.
Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others listened intently and saw intently, even those buildings and venues could barely be distinguished by the outlines in the dusk of the evening.
Tian Erhe retracted his hand, turned around, and repeated the original words again:
"This used to be a school."
His expression is serious and serious.
Without waiting for Jiang Baimian and others to respond, he sat down again and laughed at himself:
"In this matter, many townspeople don’t understand. They are not unwilling to maintain such a small school, but they feel that it should only be provided to the original residents. As for the wilderness wanderers who were later admitted to them, Taking a bite is already a kind of great kindness, why waste resources?
"They believed that the original townspeople, especially the core members of the town guards, should divide the land. Later, the wilderness wanderers could only rent and pay a certain share of the harvest.
"They also believe that later vagrants should not be allowed to join the town guard, and that they should not be allowed to have relatively better weapons."
Having said that, Tian Erhe shook his head on his own:
"Oh, when I was alive, I could still be suppressed by prestige. No one dared to really oppose it. At most I complained privately. When I die, I really don’t know what Shuiwei Town will become.
"Stop talking, stop talking, eat, eat."
Regarding the internal affairs of Shuiwei Town, Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen were not good at expressing their opinions. They could only maintain the attitude of the guests. They ate compressed biscuits, energy bars, and steamed buns from Tian Erhe. That pot of braised beef.
Seeing that Yao was not in a hurry to join, Shang continued to pick up the beef in the bowl piece by piece and feed it to the little girl beside him.
The little girl was also very sensible. After eating, she didn't ask for any more, and bowed to Shang Jian Yao seriously:
"Thank you brother!"
After thanking her, she took the rest of the sundries and bounced back to the chaotic area where there were many buildings—it was originally several basketball courts side by side.
"The action is pretty standard." Shang Jian Yao complimented behind her.
"This is specially taught by the teacher." Tian Erhe was quite proud.
Shang Jian Yao still hadn't put the braised beef in it, and silently ate the yellow and yellow multi-grain buns there.
Jiang Baimian did not persuade him, and while eating, asked Tian Erhe about their experiences after the destruction of the old world.
Most of these experiences are boring. After all, Shuiwei Town has a geographical advantage and has received fewer external tests. However, Jiang Baimian and others still listened with gusto, making Tian Erhe talk more and more intense, and even talked about himself and his wife. The process of germinating feelings in a hunt.
After everyone had eaten almost, Shang Jian Yao began to attack the remaining braised beef, dipping the steamed buns in his hand with the juice.
"It's been a long time since I was so happy." Tian Erhe touched his stomach, glanced at the leaves and ashes on the ground, "I have to go back to the room, there are still some things in town waiting for me to decide."
Jiang Baimian suddenly remembered something, and quickly said:
"Mayor, I have another question."
"What?" Tian Erhe tightened his army green coat tightly.
Jiang Baimian recalled the next words:
"Have you seen such a person?
"Male, black hair, golden eyes, and a height of 1.8 meters, he is handsome, he should be handsomer than him."
She tilted her head to indicate that the reference object was Shang Jian Yao, and continued:
"I like to wear a trench coat, gloves, my hair is neatly combed, and I like to wear boots."
Tian Erhe thought for a while:
"There are very few outsiders in Shuiwei Town, and I haven't been out of the town for a long time. I have no impression of the person you mentioned.
"Coyote, you go ask people who have been out hunting recently to see if they have seen someone like this, and then come back and tell them to the white girl."
"Good mayor." Seeing an opportunity to perform, the town guard member named "Gouzi" ran fast.
After watching Tian Erhe, who was wearing a military green coat and a furry hat, left the wooden shed and entered the area where various buildings were chaotically built, Bai Chen looked around and confirmed the location of the members of the town guard.
Then she sat down and said to herself:
"Why did the mayor tell us the internal conflicts in Shuiwei Town?"
Jiang Baimian looked at the flames of the stove, smiled and said:
"Of course, I hope that the big forces that may exist behind us can accept Shuiwei Town.
"Or why do you think he invited us to be a guest?
"Even if he trusts you enough, there is no need to do this. You can express his care and kindness in other ways."
She turned her head to look at Long Yuehong who was a little confused and Shang Jian Yao who didn't know what she was thinking, and continued:
"It can be seen that the internal contradictions in Shuiwei Town have been worrying Mayor Tian for a long time, worrying that after his death, the situation in Shuiwei Town will fall into a bad place and eventually fall apart.
"In such worries, he encountered a wilderness wanderer whom he knew and trusted. Obviously, the wilderness wanderer had taken refuge in a lot of power and seemed to be doing pretty well.
"If it is you, will there be a slight move, hoping to catch up with the relationship, so that Shuiwei Town can rely on the big power that is not too malicious to the wilderness wanderers in the future?
"With this kind of asylum, with the overall planning and planning from the big forces, this contradiction within Shuiwei Town is really nothing."
Long Yuehong finally understood:
"So...
"Team leader, will the company accept them?"
This sentence is also what Bai Chen wanted to ask, otherwise she would not deliberately talk to herself.
Feeling Bai Chen's gaze, Jiang Baimian once again cast his eyes on the stove in front of him.
she said with a little smile:
"When I return to the company, I will report it according to the normal process. Whether it will be accepted or not depends on the decision of the board of directors. In this regard, even the entire Security Department and the Strategy Committee have only the right to make recommendations.
"But, I will definitely hide in the specific location of Shuiwei Town, only to say that I met their hunting team in the wilderness."
Bai Chen was obviously relieved and whispered:
"This is good, this is good."
Long Yuehong is obviously puzzled:
"Why hide the specific location of Shuiwei Town?"
The target of the report is my company.
Jiang Baimian glanced at him with a smile, did not answer, did not explain, UU reading www.uukanshu.com just said:
"Look, Shang and Yao didn't even ask."
Shang Jian Yao heard his name and looked at the team leader:
"Ah, what are you talking about?"
Jiang Baimian squeezed a little smile:
"Say you look good."
"It's okay." Shang Jianyao was rather humble.
The scene suddenly became quiet. Not long after, a member of the town guard with the nickname "Gouzi" ran back and moved to Jiang Baimian:
"Someone has met the person you describe.
"He went to the north of Yuelu Station. He was a very strange person: everyone in the hunting squad thought he was very attractive and couldn't help but want to please him and approach him, but he was very cold and forced a distance. , Disappeared in the wilderness."
"It's a bit strange..." After listening, Jiang Baimian whispered to himself as if thinking of something.
She immediately raised her head and said with a clear smile:
"thank you."
"No need!" The town guard member with the nickname "Gouzi" responded excitedly.
Next, Jiang Baimian did not ask any more questions, and the town guard had to leave the wooden shed.
Shang Jian Yao's gaze then looked outside, only to see that the sky was dark, the dark clouds were low, and the entire Shuiwei town was dark.
The sound of the fuel generator buzzed, and in the three buildings in the shape of "Pin", many rooms emitted light. On the wall of the town, one light bulb after another was lit, helping the guards to illuminate the outside. In the area of the bungalows and chaotically built buildings, a few candlelights and fires flickered and quickly extinguished, and the whole was almost completely sunk into the night.
Wow, the heavy rain that had been brewing for a long time finally started in the dark night.
