Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 119 Grandma
The next day, Jiang Hui got up amidst the noise of pots and pans.Brush your teeth and wash your face before coming to the pressurized water machine.

Speaking of this pressurized water machine, it is also a very memorable item.There is a lot of water in the south. Finding a place to dig five or six meters down can usually produce water. When tap water has not yet spread to rural areas, most rural households generally have two ways to get water. Go to the nearby water to drink and dig a well by yourself .Some of the water troops dug by themselves use buckets to get water directly from the well, and some are equipped with hand-operated water presses.Of course, it will gradually become tap water or electric water pumps for water supply.

The house Jiang Hui lives in was built more than ten years ago when Jiang Hui was just in kindergarten. At first, it was very inconvenient to go to a distance to fetch water for drinking. Later, he dug a well and installed a hand-operated water press , finally solved the problem of drinking water.

The principle of this pressurized water machine is actually very simple. It is actually a piston water pump, which is mainly composed of the shell, the piston and the rubber sealing ring set on the piston.The water inlet valve is closed when the piston is under the piston, and the water is pushed out of the water outlet along the water outlet valve under the joint action of the piston and the rubber ring. When the hand is released, the booster spring in the piston pushes the piston up, and the volume in the pump changes. Large negative pressure is generated, the outlet valve is closed, the water inlet is opened, and the water is pumped into the pump under the negative pressure of the pump body, so that the back and forth water will flow out continuously, thus achieving the purpose of pumping water.

However, this device is more common in the south than in the north.The main reason is that the hand-operated water press generally only works when the depth of the well is less than eight meters, and the deeper water must be pumped by the motor.However, the depth of water sources in the north is generally more than ten meters or even tens of meters, so the hand-operated water press will definitely not be used.

After Jiang Hui washed up and had some breakfast, he planned to visit his grandmother in the next village.After my grandfather fell ill and died two years ago, my grandmother's health also began to deteriorate.

Grandma Jiang Hui has three sons and three daughters. The uncle is an ordinary clerk in the town government, the second uncle is the principal of a middle school, the aunt is married to the next town, the third uncle works in the power supply bureau, the fifth is Jiang Hui’s mother, and the younger aunt Married to other villages in the town, grandma lives with uncle now.

In the early years, my grandfather fought with the guerrillas for several years. Later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he worked in various towns and towns. When he retired, he was the secretary of the commune in the next township.It is also because of this that several uncles study more than ordinary rural children, and have the opportunity to escape the life of facing the loess and facing the sky.

When Jiang Hui came to grandma's house, the eldest aunt had already gone to work in the field, and grandma was sitting in the yard to bask in the sun.Seeing people seeing their grandchildren coming to see themselves, they seem very happy.Several uncles gave birth to daughters, and because they worked in government units, they could only have one.So Jiang Hui, the grandson, is the most favored in the eyes of his grandparents.

This actually has something to do with patriarchy in rural areas. Of course, it does not mean that this phenomenon does not exist in cities, but it is particularly serious in rural areas.In the countryside, if a person has no son, the neighbors often gossip and bully you in some daily disputes.Although this phenomenon has eased with the family planning and reform and opening up in recent years, it has only eased, and the original prejudice still exists.

Jiang Hui moved a stool and sat next to the old lady, talking with her all morning.In fact, it is nothing more than three aunts and six wives who are building a new house, what is going on with their daughter and son, and what is going on with everyone in the village, but the point is not what is said, what the old lady cares about is that someone is willing to sit down and talk to her .

As young people go out to work, there are basically only old, weak, sick and disabled left in the usual rural areas.Jiang Hui's village primary school was also canceled and merged into the neighboring village the year before last because the number of students had dropped too much.Even the primary schools after the merger could not survive for a few years, and in the end, only the town center primary school could survive, and that was just lingering.

In the next few years, housing prices in small counties have risen sharply, which is related to the overall increase in housing prices, but a very important reason is that a large number of rural people actively and passively go to the county to buy houses.For example, in Jianghui Village, there are no kindergartens and village primary schools. Most people can’t afford a house in a place where they work outside or think that they won’t stay there for the rest of their lives, so most of them bought houses in the county town, and some Houses are built at home, but most of the houses built at home are families that no longer have the problem of their children going to school.

After chatting with the old lady all morning, the eldest aunt also came back. After saying hello, Jiang Hui was ready to go home.The homes of the second uncle and the third uncle are usually vacant. They both have houses in the county, but they will come back during the Chinese New Year.

On the way home, Jiang Hui looked at the relatively clear rivers. Bamboos were planted on both sides of the creek. If stone bricks were laid on both sides of the creek, and the ponds of various houses were cleaned up, some lotus flowers would be planted. of.Dressing up can also be used as a leisure place for the people of County C.In this way, the village will not be so sparsely populated.

But now I don't have the economic strength to engage in tourism, and the living standards of the people in the county have not reached the level of later generations, so I can only wait a few years before starting.

In rural areas, raising pigs will be the most popular in the next few years. Although the price of pork rises and falls from time to time, the overall price is still rising.However, due to the construction of various irregular pig farms everywhere, the water quality of various rivers has deteriorated rapidly, and fish and shrimp have basically disappeared.

The village where Jiang Hui lives is the most upstream of the water flow, so the impact is not that great, but there are also six or seven large and small pig farms in the village in later generations. Except for one that is relatively standardized, the others will rectify the pig industry and purify the pig farms. The water source was forcibly removed.

This relatively well-built pig farm is located in the mountain depression next to Jiang Hui's house. Since that place has its own independent water source and no one lives there, it is very suitable for the development of the breeding industry.Earlier, some talented people in the village had already contracted the mountain depression and built a small-scale pig farm. However, due to successive encounters with low pig prices and plagues, it was almost unbearable.In the previous life, during the Spring Festival this year, the owner of the pig farm transferred it to the village head at a low price. As a result, within a few years, the village head became the richest man in the village. He drove a BMW and lived in a self-built villa. I regretted it all.

Jiang Hui was thinking about how to get his father to take over the pig farm, with his own family taking the majority and asking his uncle's family to contribute some money to take up some shares. After all, my uncle has been the village party secretary for many years and will continue to do so in the future , let his family do it together with his own, and it will be even more foolproof.
