Soon the day for road construction came. Early in the morning, the cadres who were still in the countryside were awakened by the lively voices of the fellow villagers who came to carry wine. Everyone got up quickly, washed up, and rushed to their respective sections of the road.

Mu Yi and Xu Yingxiong were from Dian Erha, and according to the arrangement, they were going to reinforce Valado Village. On the way, Mu Yi saw no one building the road and asked Xu Yingxiong: "Hero, why didn't you see anyone repairing the road?"

Where is the road?"

Xu Yingxiong: "It's not that no one built the road, but the construction of roads in Ermu Village started from the junction with Guoshen Township, and the construction of roads in Varado Village also started from the junction with Ermu Village, and then Duoxia Village started from the junction with Walado Village.

Repair at multiple intersections.”

Mu Yi: "Oh. Then what tools can we use to build roads with nothing?"

Xu Yingxiong smiled and said: "How do you think the road will be repaired? It's very simple. You will know how the road is repaired when you arrive at the site."

Mu Yi: "Why do roads need to be built in the countryside? Are there no road workers to repair them?"

Xu Yingxiong laughed heartily. Then he said: "The road workers are only responsible for the road from Zhongpu to Jilaba Township. No one maintains the road here. Every year, the township organizes fellow villagers to repair it."

There is no need to pay wages. In the countryside, each village is given 100 kilograms of liquor, and the villagers move it back to drink it for those who participate in road construction."

Mu Yi: "So how many people came to build the road?"

Xu Yingxiong: "Generally, at least one person from each household is required to come, but sometimes more than one person will come because everyone wants to have fun. There may be two to three hundred people, large and small."

Mu Yi: "Then on average one person drinks a pound of wine, so aren't they all drunk? Then how can we build roads?"

Xu Yingxiong: "Don't worry about this. The fellow villagers know it well, they are just trying to have a good time. There are not many people who are really greedy and drunk."

Inadvertently, Mu Yi saw a group of people standing on the side of the road in front of him.

Mu Yi: "Hero, are those people here to build roads?"

Xu Yingxiong: "It should be."

The two of them walked quickly towards the crowd.

As soon as he got closer to the crowd, Mu Yi realized that the team was really spectacular. There were men and women, old and young. They were working with hoes and dustpans.

Inside, a man with a goatee came over and greeted Xu Yingxiong.

"Xiao Xu, why are you here? You see, if you don't hurry up and help us build the road, we're afraid we won't be able to finish it?" the visitor joked with a smile.

Xu Yingxiong: "Chief Kemu, you are kidding. Your Wala Village has the strongest combat power. You see, you have repaired so much. Ermu Village and Duoxia Village are definitely not repairing as fast as you."

It turns out that this person is Kemu, the head of Varado Village.

Chief Kemu took out a cigarette and handed it to Xu Yingxiong and Mu Yi, and asked Xu Yingxiong. "Who is this?"

Xu Yingxiong: "This is the newly assigned Mu Yi from our village. Together with me, we are responsible for making some food."

Mu Yi: "Hello, Chief Kemu. Nice to meet you."

Kemu: "I'm glad to meet you too. I am Jike Kemu. You are welcome to come and help us build roads in Varado Village."

Mu Yi: "Chief Kemu, please bring us a hoe or a dustpan, and we will build the road together with everyone."

Kemu: "Why do you need to take action? Just come and watch us do it. In fact, there is no major repair work on this road. It is just to clean up the dirt and stones in the ditch and make the road bumpy.

Just fill in the space and that’s it.”

Xu Yingxiong: "Yes. The road we take to Pushen Township is not maintained by road workers. Usually if it breaks down, collapses, or is blocked, the villagers nearby will organize villagers to simply deal with it.

As long as it can be opened to traffic, it will be repaired now, and it will only take a few days. When it rains, or when a heavy vehicle digs out, there will still be potholes. But repairing it is better than not repairing it at all."

Kemu: “The main thing is to clean the side ditches to facilitate drainage.”

Although he said this, Mu Yi felt that since he was here, he should mingle with the masses. So he went to help the fellow villagers use a dustpan to fill the potholes in the road with mud.

When the fellow villagers saw Mu Yi going to carry the mud, they all booed. Mu Yi couldn't understand what they were shouting, but it felt like they were laughing anyway. He felt a little embarrassed. At this time, Chief Kemu came over and faced him.

Mu Yi said: "Mu Yi, don't worry about them. They just want to have fun and have no other intentions."

Xu Yingxiong also got a hoe and came over to dig out the dirt in the ditch.

Soon the ditches in this area were cleared and the potholes on the road were filled. It looked quite pleasing to the eye.

Everyone walked down the road again, digging out blocked ditches and filling in potholes. If there was not enough soil in the ditches, they dug dirt from the ground to fill it. Those young men and women from the Yi ethnic group

They were laughing and joking, making unintelligible jokes, and bursting into laughter. The whole atmosphere of road construction was very lively.

At this time, a jeep drove up from the direction of Pushen. When the car got closer, it was clear that it was the mayor of Ke.

The mayor of Ke parked his car and greeted Xu Yingxiong and Mu Yi: "Minister Xu, you are here."

Kemu: "They have been here a long time ago. Everyone has been practicing for a long time."

Ke's: "I just drove the car and ran the entire route. There are about thirty or forty places that really need to be repaired and filled. We don't want so many people crowded together. That way some people can't work hard. Just

The two groups are each led by a team leader, and then divided into two sections from the household. Each section is divided into a number of small sections, allowing everyone to spread out, freely combine in threes and twos, and divide the tasks. The wine is not here

Drink it on the roadside. Let the laborers finish their work and go to the village to drink it. If you don’t want to drink it in the village, just take a pound and drink it back as a family."

Ke Mu: "The head of the village in Ke will bring back almost 50 jins of wine after taking one jin from each family. There is still almost 50 jins of wine left to finish, right?"

Ke's: "It's better if you don't finish it. If you do a lot, it's a lot. The remaining Murakami can drink it slowly."

The village chief of Kemu smiled. Then he loudly called the two team leaders over and explained the arrangements of Kemu's township head. The two team leaders made a suggestion: "First give each group ten kilograms of wine and let everyone

Let’s all take a sip first so that everyone can be motivated.”

Kemu: "All the wine has been brought to the village, what should I do?"

Kemu's township head: "The team leader's suggestion is very good. Some fellow villagers are too embarrassed to go to the village to drink after work. Everyone lives relatively scattered, and some people's homes are far away from the village. So, Kemu, get in the car quickly, and we will drive there.

Let’s make two pots of 20 kilograms and share them for everyone to start. Minister Xu and Mu Yi will just stay here and start."

After saying that, the two started driving and went to get the wine.

Xu Yingxiong and Mu Yi followed the fellow villagers and worked enthusiastically. The fellow villagers no longer made noises like they did at the beginning, but cooperated in a tacit understanding to dig soil, dig out slag and fill the holes...

By the time the mayor of Ke came around in his car, everyone had already repaired a long distance.

The head of Kemu Village brought a 20-jin pot of wine and several large army green enamel bowls and invited everyone to come over and drink.

When everyone heard the shout of drinking, they quickly gathered around. Xu Yingxiong, Muyi and Kemu cooperated with each other to pour out large bowls of wine. The fellow villagers took the large bowls filled with wine, and took a sip next to each other.

Pass it on to the next person. This is drinking "Zhuanzhuanjiu".

Everyone depends on their own preferences. If you like to drink more, take a bigger sip. If you like to drink less, just take a sip. Regardless of adults or children, men, women, old or young, everyone should take a sip and fill it up again and again.

.Soon, 20 kilograms of wine was almost done.

The fellow villagers who had drank a little wine were more relaxed and more energetic. Some people even started to sing. Although they couldn't understand what they were singing, from the melodious and melodious voices like the sounds of nature, Mu Yi could tell.
