The next day, early in the morning.
Yang Chengwen's second uncle arranged a bullock cart for Yan Jiecheng.
I will send him directly to Qingyang in a moment.
This place was now this quagmire, and he didn't want to stay there for a moment anymore.
At around six o'clock in the morning, we set off with the villagers.
After walking for four or five hours, we finally arrived at Qingyang City.
Yan Jiecheng invited the man from Yangzhuang to have dinner at a state-owned hotel. Don't expect any service when entering a hotel these days.
The waiter pointed to the small blackboard on the wall nonchalantly, and Yan Jiecheng ordered two bowls of noodles.
When it was discovered that Yan Jiecheng had a foreign accent, the hotel even checked his work ID.
Knowing that Yan Jiecheng was from the capital, he became a lot more enthusiastic.
The waiter also asked many questions about the capital.
Yan Jiechen was already busy with things, so he had no time to chat with her, so he dismissed it with just a few words.
After they finished eating the noodles, they said goodbye.
Yan Jiecheng arrived at the long-distance station alone. Fortunately, the time was just right, otherwise he might have missed the train and had to wait another day.
The shuttle bus goes to Huangyuan, and you have to transfer from Huangyuan to Xijing to take the train.
After waiting on the bus for more than ten minutes, Yan Jiecheng was a little surprised when he saw the bus slowly leaving the station.
I didn’t expect that I would set off so easily.
He thought those people would stop him.
Yan Jiecheng shook his head, grasped the armrest, and stopped thinking about it.
Riding in a car these days is a real pain, it's shaky and full of noise.
We arrived at Huangyuan around four in the afternoon and saw that we couldn’t leave today.
Yan Jiecheng wanted to meet Tian Fujun.
After all, we have to leave now, and we don’t know when we will see each other again.
Tian Fujun took Yan Jiecheng to his home in the evening.
"Xiao Yan, has something happened to you? A few days ago, your sister-in-law said that she met you and Lao Xie, but she didn't hear you say that she was going back to Beijing? Now I see that you look so bad, is something wrong? "
Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng explained the matter, but none of the three people spoke.
After a while, Tian Fujun said: "Don't take it too seriously, we see this kind of thing a lot.
Sometimes we do work like this, with all kinds of difficulties.
As long as we have a clear conscience. "
Yan Jiecheng had been depressed for many days and had nowhere to talk. Seeing Tian Fujun like this, he expressed his thoughts and the concept of production safety.
"Brother Tian, production safety should be a long-term basic national policy of the country.
It is the basic guarantee to protect the safety, health and national property of workers and promote the development of social productivity.
Its essence is to take corresponding accident prevention and control measures in production and operation activities to avoid accidents that cause personal injury and property loss to ensure the smooth progress of production and operation activities.
So it is to protect production, not to hinder production and construction as they think.
I am just trying to prevent personal and equipment accidents during the production process.
Form a good working environment and working order. "
Yan Jiecheng took a sip of water and said angrily: "Some people either use this as a weapon or avoid seeing it."
Tian Fujun and his wife looked at each other, and they both saw shock in their eyes. Tian Fujun took a breath and said, "Xiao Yan, I'm very happy. You have found your own way and perseverance.
But you have to know that this is difficult.
Toon said that a person born in the circle where I was born has only three paths to choose from.
The first is to be an official and make money, which makes the ugliness we live in even uglier—this is what I hate the most. Maybe I don't have this ability, but the main thing is that I hate it.
The second is to eliminate this kind of ugliness. This requires a hero, but I am not a hero.
The last way, the third way, was to forget everything, go to a pack of dogs, drink, have fun, sing - which is what I did. As a result, I ended up like this.
So this kind of hero is difficult to find everywhere in the world.
You know that scholars have always trusted Confucius and Mencius when they are proud, and Lao and Zhuangzi when they are frustrated.
Looking at these two choices according to Tuo Weng's standards, the path to the world is ugly, and the path to the world means going to a group of dogs, drinking and having fun, and wasting time, which is hateful.
I'm thinking, is there no other way for us to go other than becoming an official or going into seclusion?
Later I thought about it, this is not very realistic, because many times we can't help ourselves.
Therefore, I feel that we should not be too arrogant and only think about turning things around and becoming heroes.
Of course, don't be too discouraged and give up on yourself when you encounter setbacks, making yourself look like a lost dog.
We only need to immerse ourselves in learning and pursue the path of knowledge and truth beyond fame.
Then maybe it won't be so painful. "
Yan Jiecheng understood Tian Fujun's words and wanted to let himself be like the light and become blind, but he couldn't do it.
Yan Jiecheng looked up at Tian Fujun, smiled, and said, "Brother Tian, can you do it?"
Yan Jiecheng knew that Tian Fujun couldn't do it, otherwise he wouldn't offend so many people in the future, just to turn the black buns in the hands of the people into white buns.
We are all people with the same belief, otherwise we would not come together.
Before Tian Fujun could speak, Xu Aiyun laughed out loud and said, "Brother Tian is just trying to coax you. He can't even do it himself, but he is here to persuade you."
Tian Fujun blushed after hearing this, but because his face was so dark, no one could tell.
A few people talked for a while, Xu Aiyun asked about Lao Xie's injury, and then went to cook.
Tian Fujun told Yan Jiecheng about the recent lack of food.
"Xiao Yan, you may not know very well, but now people's homes are short of food, and everyone relies on sweet potatoes and wild vegetables to survive.
There are still several months to wait for the new grain to arrive, and it is not yet the end of the harvest.
Everyone is looking for sweet potato roots and radish tops in the vegetable gardens and farmland of each village. Even rotten cabbage sticks, dried radish leaves and other vegetable roots and leaves are picked up and taken home to fill their stomachs.
Nowadays, even the dried sweet potato seedlings usually used to feed livestock are washed and chopped, ground into powder with a stone mill, and mixed with a small amount of sweet potato flour to make steamed buns to satisfy hunger. "
Seeing Yan Jiecheng's expression of disbelief, he continued:
“I tried the steamed buns made by villagers using sweet potato rice flour. They looked like donkey dung eggs, smooth on the outside and full of crude fiber on the inside.
Now if you go to the countryside at night, you will see people digging wild vegetables everywhere on the hillsides, in the fields, and along the river beaches.
Shepherd's purse, luxuriant sprouts, seedlings, watercress and other wild herbs have become the food that people rely on to satisfy their hunger.
However, because every family digs and digs every day, the wild vegetables do not grow as fast as they are dug. The wild vegetables are getting smaller and smaller, and there are less and less. Some people who cannot dig the wild vegetables start to eat the leaves.
Toon leaves, acacia leaves, acacia flowers, elm leaves, elm money and even elm bark are all good foods.
There are even families who are particularly in need and have eaten up these delicious, non-toxic leaves and bark.
Also eat willow leaves, ailanthus leaves and mulberry leaves.
Do you know what to eat?
Some leaves are bitter and poisonous, so they wash these leaves and cook them in boiling water, then soak them in clean water. Change the water every day, soak them for two days to remove the bitterness, and then use them to satisfy your hunger. "
Just as he was talking, Xu Aiyun came in with two big bowls and said: "Brother Xiao Yan is coming to eat soon. Today we are making oil noodles. You still have to come to Qin to eat the noodles. The noodles are the most authentic."
Tian Fujun also smiled and said: "Have a try, your sister-in-law makes it really good."
When Yan Jiecheng saw this scene and thought about what Tian Fujun said just now, he suddenly felt that it was untrue.
