When this person can't sleep, especially in the dead of night, he usually gets up and watches TV or listens to music. Of course he also cooks something to eat. But these all require electricity. This is because Varado

There was no electricity, everything was shrouded in darkness and became extremely quiet.

Mu Yi is no exception. He can't sleep, so he thinks of doing something. What to do? There is no electricity, and all kinds of electrical appliances seem to be of no use here. Even the small rice cooker Mu Yi brought with him doesn't work.

.Because the power supply is 110 volts and the rice cooker is 220 volts, it cannot be used at all.

In the entire Valado Township government, only Secretary Lamu has a TV in his house. He also uses a booster to increase the voltage from 110 volts to 220 volts, and then uses a voltage stabilizer to stabilize the voltage of 220 volts before he can barely afford to play the TV.

After a while, the machines at the power station started to heat up, and then the power went out. As soon as the power went out, everyone went to sleep. And this electricity was only supplied to the Zhongguozhuang Working Committee, Guoshen Township and Valado Township, as well as hospitals and schools.

, institutions such as the Post and Telecommunications Station. However, the households on the streets of Guoshen Township and the villagers near the government of Valado Township still connected to the line and used electricity. In this way, the load obviously exceeded the power generation capacity of the power station. Therefore, the power was cut off and burned down.

Things like lighting appliances happen all the time.

The pace of life here is obviously much slower. Everyone's life is to get up at sunrise and sleep at night, which is very regular. Without the dazzling TV programs, people's hearts have become simpler and purer. Every day

In addition to cooking and eating, the other thing is to keep the "temple" of the township government well. If you are bored staying at the township government and don't want to participate in playing cards and drinking, you can also go to the nearby villages for a walk.

It's just that Mu Yi is not very familiar with the surrounding villages yet, so he hasn't looked in depth. At most, he can just walk along the road and take a look.

Mu Yi, who couldn't sleep at night, lay in bed tossing and turning, his whole body was really sore and limp. Finally, he fumbled around to put on his clothes, gently opened the door of the house, and walked into the courtyard. He originally wanted to go on the road outside the government.

He took a walk. But when he got to the gate, he found that the door was locked. He had no choice but to turn back. He walked around the government courtyard, walked to the flag stand, and sat down on the steps of the flag stand to rest.

.

Looking at the endless darkness and listening to the chirping of insects in the mountains, Mu Yi slowly felt some different emotions rising in his heart.

Loneliness! A deep, deep feeling of loneliness surrounded him. Every colleague here seemed to be smiling and caring about Mu Yi. But Mu Yi clearly felt that the people here were...

Although they were all polite and friendly, they were separated by something, as if they were a wall, isolating the deepest things in their hearts. Mu Yi felt very lonely, and couldn't find anyone to talk to about his heart and soul.

, a close friend.

This place is like an isolated "paradise". The villagers here have a very low desire for life, and their demands on nature are also very low. Mu Yi saw that although they raised pigs, cattle and sheep

Chickens, dogs, horses, ducks, geese, and cats, but what can really be turned into money is only a small amount of pigs, cattle, sheep, and chickens. It is understood that what the villagers grow most is potatoes, followed by a small amount of buckwheat and oats, and round roots.

There are also some green vegetables, cabbage, leeks and other side dishes planted in front of and behind the house.

Every ten days or so, the fellow villagers come to Guoshen Township to go to the market and buy some daily necessities such as salt, pepper, etc. They pack a pound of wine and invite friends to have a sip. Everyone is very happy! If you have another bowl of hot and sour food,

The fragrant sesame jelly is a joyful experience.

In most cases, the fellow villagers are in small groups, lying or sitting, gathering together to brag, chat, joke, and bask in the sun. Women either take their children to bask in the sun, or they carry a small bamboo basket and a wool-twisting tool.

, twist a ball of wool into a thin strand of wool thread, and then wind the wool thread into a ball of wool for future use in making charwax.

Mu Yi asked Shamalari why there were so many barren hills here, but the fellow villagers didn’t reclaim them all to grow potatoes, buckwheat seeds and oats. Shamalari told him that the fellow villagers generally would not reclaim the barren hills randomly.

It’s not because the Land and Resources Bureau doesn’t allow reclamation, but because as long as the potatoes they grow are enough to eat, they won’t reclaim barren hills. Mu Yi also asked Shamala, why don’t the fellow villagers raise more pigs, cows, horses and sheep?

, he would get a lot of money after selling it. Shamalari also told him that there is no place to use the money earned here. Some fellow villagers also sell their livestock, but the money sold can only buy some basic daily necessities.

, basically all of it was deposited in the Guoshen Township Credit Union, and when my son grew up, he would take out the money to buy a wife and build a house.

Thinking of the sensitive word "mother-in-law", Mu Yi felt even more melancholy. There were many people getting married at the age of sixteen or seventeen in the village. Fatty, his elementary school classmate, already had two children. And what about me? She was about to get married.

I have turned eighteen and have learned some things about men and women. When I first came here, all my energy and attention were put on this strange new environment. I didn’t have time to think about this issue. Now, I suddenly really want to have that.

Walk with me alone and talk to your heart. But here, except for the loneliness that grows in the thick darkness, there is nothing.

Loneliness! It was loneliness, deep and deep loneliness, which surrounded him. Mu Yi didn’t know why, but an idea came to his mind - when can he leave here? But this idea was quickly rejected by him.

.

Because he knew from the mouths of many people that Zhongguozhuang was the most difficult place in Xigui County. There was no electricity or running water, and even the roads were only adobe roads. It was fine on a sunny day, but annoying on a rainy day. Landslides

Collapse is a common thing. The ground is gray on sunny days, and mud on rainy days. In summer and autumn rains, roads are made of cement, and in winter and spring, roads are sludged by ice and snow. Roads are broken by rain and flash floods. You can still cross mountains and ridges, but when encountering heavy snow, the mountains are closed.

That means there is no solution at all. There used to be a "rule" for cadres assigned here, which said that they could be transferred to the Second and Mid-Levels Mountains after eight years of service, and they could be transferred to the Second and Mid-Levels Mountains for another ten or eight years.

I was transferred to the Pingba area. But no one seems to be following this "rule" now. The atmosphere has changed a bit. Those with "connections" are being transferred, while those without "connections" can only "stay still".

It is said that there is an "old revolutionary" and "Ye Minfu" in Jila Township who have been working here for 12 years and still have not been transferred. His wife cannot bear the pain of "separating two places" when one has been living in the mountains for a long time and the other has been living at the bottom of the mountains for a long time.

He and Ye Minfu divorced. Ye Minfu also couldn't bear to part with this job, not because of how good the salary was, but because he had been in a relationship for more than ten years and couldn't bear to give up, so he had to take his two children with him.

, lived with him in Jila Township. The two children are now mixed with the children from the same village. They speak Yi better than Chinese, and it is no longer possible to tell whether they are Han children or Yi children.

When Mu Yi thought of this, a cold wind suddenly blew, and he couldn't help but sneeze, and his nose flowed out. It seemed that it was cold at night and he was caught in the cold.
