Chapter 591 Never seen the world
"Uncle, what is this?" a little boy asked, pointing at the projector. Xu Damao waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go away, you little brat, don't make trouble here." The little boy was frightened by his attitude and stepped aside aggrievedly. The villagers also came one after another, everyone brought their own small stools, with expectant smiles on their faces. In that era of lack of entertainment, showing movies was a big event in the village, and everyone was looking forward to seeing a different world in the movie. The movie started, and Xu Damao stood aside, smoking boredly. Looking at the villagers staring at the screen intently, he was full of disdain in his heart. "These country people, watching a movie is like the New Year, they really haven't seen the world." He muttered in a low voice. However, halfway through the movie, a malfunction suddenly occurred. The picture flickered and the sound was intermittent. Xu Damao frowned, went forward and fiddled with the equipment for a few times, cursing: "This broken machine, it broke down at the critical moment." The villagers began to get anxious, and everyone asked what was going on. "Brother, can this movie still be played?" an old man asked anxiously. Xu Damao said impatiently: "Why are you urging me? I'm repairing it. It's just your broken place, the voltage is unstable, can you blame me?" As soon as he said this, the villagers' faces changed, and everyone began to express dissatisfaction with Xu Damao's attitude. "How can you talk like that? We invited you to play movies, we respect you, how can you look down on us country people like this?" A young man stood up and said. Xu Damao not only did not restrain himself, but became more arrogant: "Am I wrong? Look at yourselves, you are all rustic, you can't compare with us city people at all." This completely angered the villagers, and everyone's anger broke out instantly. "Beat him, let him know that we country folk are not easy to bully!" someone in the crowd shouted. The villagers surrounded him all of a sudden. Xu Damao turned and ran when he saw that the situation was not good. But he could not run faster than the villagers who were familiar with the terrain, and he was caught up before he ran far. Everyone punched and kicked him, and Xu Damao could only hold his head and run away, begging for mercy: "Stop, stop, I was wrong, isn't it okay?" However, the angry villagers didn't listen to him at all and continued to chase him. Xu Damao was panicked and accidentally fell into a mud pit on the side of the road, making his whole body covered in mud and in a mess. After finally getting rid of the villagers' pursuit, Xu Damao thought that the matter was over. But he didn't expect that the villagers did not intend to let him go easily. The village cadres felt that Xu Damao's behavior was too much. Not only did it destroy the atmosphere of the movie, but it also insulted all the villagers, so they decided to report him to the higher authorities. The report letter was soon delivered to the leaders of the steel rolling mill. After seeing the letter, the leader took it very seriously and immediately sent someone to investigate the matter. After Xu Damao returned to the factory, he was severely criticized by the leader. "Xu Damao, do you know how big a mistake you made this time? Showing movies is to enrich the cultural life of the masses and enhance exchanges between urban and rural areas, but you have caused such a big conflict because of your arrogance and rudeness. You must apologize to the villagers!" The leader said seriously. Xu Damao lowered his head and dared not say a word. He knew that he had caused a big disaster this time and regretted it in his heart. But now that things have come to this, he can only follow the leader's request and come to the countryside again to apologize to the villagers. This time, Xu Damao no longer has the arrogance he had before. He sincerely admitted his mistakes to the villagers and expressed his deep apologies. Seeing that his attitude had changed, the villagers finally forgave him. After this incident, Xu Damao completely changed his view of the country people. He understood that no matter what their status is, everyone should be respected, and arrogance and prejudice will only bring trouble to themselves. This experience of being chased, scolded, beaten and reported in the countryside became an unforgettable lesson in his life.
The Years of Educated Youth: Chu Tian's Rural Growth In the 20s, in response to the call of the country's educated youth to go to the countryside, the young Chu Tian packed his bags, bid farewell to the prosperous city, and rushed to the remote countryside, starting a life of educated youth full of unknowns and challenges. When he first arrived in the countryside, the scene in front of him made Chu Tian feel both unfamiliar and shocked. The rolling hills, large tracts of golden rice fields, and the simple farmhouses formed a sharp contrast with the high-rise buildings in the city. The simple and honest smiles of the villagers made him feel a little warm in his heart, but the difficult living conditions also made him realize that the days ahead would not be easy. The first day of work was to follow the villagers to plant rice in the fields. Chu Tian had never done farm work before, and he looked a little overwhelmed looking at the seedlings in his hands. The villagers patiently taught him the skills of planting rice, but he still planted it crookedly and his progress was far behind others. At the end of the day, he had back pain and several blisters on his hands. After returning to the educated youth point, he collapsed on the bed due to exhaustion, and a trace of confusion rose in his heart: When will this kind of life end? However, Chu Tian had a spirit of not admitting defeat in his bones. He secretly vowed to adapt to life here as soon as possible and learn all kinds of farm work. In the following days, he got up early every day and followed the villagers to work in the fields. He humbly asked the villagers for advice and constantly practiced farm work such as transplanting rice, harvesting rice, and carrying manure. Gradually, his movements became more and more skilled and faster and faster, and the villagers all gave a thumbs up to this hardworking young man. In addition to working, Chu Tian did not forget to use his knowledge advantages to help the villagers solve various problems. There was an old man in the village whose cow was sick, and he found several veterinarians but could not cure it. After Chu Tian learned about it, he used some veterinary knowledge he learned in the city, consulted a lot of information, and finally found a way to treat it. He personally fed the cow medicine and gave it an injection. After a few days of careful care, the cow's condition finally improved. The old man was very grateful and took Chu Tian's hand and said, "Young man, thanks to you, you have helped us a lot!" Another time, the irrigation canal in the village was blocked, causing a large area of farmland to lack water. The villagers were anxious, but they didn't know how to solve the problem. Chu Tian carefully observed the situation of the canal and found that it was blocked by the accumulation of debris and silt. He organized the educated youth and the villagers to jump into the waist-deep canal with tools to clean up the debris and silt.
