technical type

Ji Mo was actually not afraid of Ge Gen chasing him to blame and complain, he didn't take the blame, but it still felt good to be protected by his senior brother, even if Ge Gen turned around, he still smiled brightly at him, as if showing off.

"Thank you, brother."

Thank you seriously to Wang Shizhu, Wang Shizhu just smiled, didn't speak, and went to get firewood again, it was obvious that he came here specially to protect Ji Mo just now.

Mrs. Ji, who was still busy in the kitchen, heard the movement, went out to look around, and found that Ge Gen was gone. Thinking of the quarrel between the master and the apprentice just now, she went into the room and complained to Master Ji: "...you old man, you are here all the time. , why do you still let people go? Anyway, stay and have a meal!"

He couldn't hear Master Ji's voice, so he probably didn't say a word, or pretended he couldn't hear it. This is the usual attitude. Mrs. Ji is also used to it. She complained twice, but no one answered, so she went back to work in the kitchen.

Both Ji Mo and Wang Shizhu live at home, and they live in the side house before. Master Ji's two sons don't come back to live, they are like a family.

After a few days of silence, there was an order from the government to repair the bridge.

This is a regular order, it happens every year, and the government is not stupid. If these infrastructures are not maintained, who knows what will happen?

Just like that road, it is repaired every year, and it needs to be repaired every year.

Which year was lazy, and there must be some troubles in the future, and then it will be the government's dereliction of duty.

The bridge can be better. The so-called bridge repair order means to go to the place where there is a bridge to check it. If it is broken, report it. If you agree to repair it, you will be paid for it. There is no need to put up a sign of "Bridge", just tell the neighbors.

When someone is really unlucky and walks on the bridge and falls into the water and something happens, that will be a later thing.

The actions and inactions of the government are here, and it is not something that bridge builders should worry about.

Wang Shizhu answered some questions for Ji Mo before setting off. There are generally two types of government orders for them. One is the bridge building order, that is, to build a bridge in a certain place, and there will be a limited date, but this date is also negotiable. As long as they are not forced by the brainless to insist on an impossible date, they can finish the work before the date arrives.

The other is the bridge repair order, which is considered a regular order, that is, it is issued every year, and if there is no other year, no one else needs to tell them, they will know how lazy the county magistrate is, and even this kind of order is not enough. Omitting it shows that you don't care about it. In the past three years, don't expect the county magistrate to do anything else.

From this perspective, it seems that the county magistrate has some unique features.

Generally speaking, this bridge repair order is just before the flood season, and it is also a preventive work to check in advance whether the bridge in this area can withstand floods.

"I guess it's about this time, and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."

Master Ji is very experienced. When he was building the gravel bridge, he was thinking about the flood season, and he was thinking about the bridge repair order.

People do not fight with officials.

He is a bridge builder who is named in the government. If something happens, he must be named. If he is building a bridge at that time and there is a conflict, he must first focus on the government's affairs.

At that time, either he would keep the disciples around him and give instructions to let them continue to build the bridge, or he would recommend other bridge builders who would not be named by the government to take over his project. This kind of succession must be done by someone who is very trustworthy, otherwise Master Ji will bear the consequences.

Otherwise, he could wait for him to complete the government's order before returning to continue building the bridge, but most people rarely choose this way, and it's really a little bit uncertain on the government's side.

A county is not a big place, but the county magistrates are all relatives. Who knows how many bridge builders there are in the next county, and how many have registered their names with the government. Being seconded out, such a trip will take a long time.

Master Ji has never understood the complicated entanglements involved, and he vaguely knows which county magistrate has a good relationship with which county magistrate, but it is just superficial. "Good" is really superficial.

But they don't need to understand what kind of thing it should be, just do it, and the results reported in the end can only be given to the people above them.

Bridge builders like Master Ji seldom see officials like county magistrates. Unless they personally inspect the scene, otherwise, those who communicate with Master Ji are small officials in the county government. The county magistrate came forward.

"This year is the same as previous years, nothing special, just go and have a look at these places..."

The little official told Master Ji a few places, except for this county, they were all places in neighboring counties, which were no different from previous years.

Master Ji nodded again and again, and called the little official "Wang Xiaoguaner". This kind of official is nothing in the county government. , even if you are a first-rank official, you still have to kneel.

Wang Xiaoguan'er and Master Ji should be considered acquaintances. Every year, he would come to inform him of the bridge repair order, and he could speak more casually. He also asked about Ji Mo, a new disciple, and got something filial from Master Ji. He added a bit of a smile: "This job is hard work. If you bother, I won't be burdensome. You just watch it. If there is anything wrong, find someone to report to me."

According to the theory, Wang Xiaoguaner is a supervisor, and he ran around to see if Master Ji and the others were serious about inspecting the bridge, but he obviously didn't want to follow him. so much trouble.

This is because he trusts Master Ji not to cheat, so he dared to let go.

Master Ji hurriedly responded with sincerity and trepidation, and acted like a simple commoner in front of this little official Wang. Ji Mo didn't dare to look at the young little official Wang, for fear that his eyes would be unruly and people would misunderstand him.

Wang Xiaoguan didn't pay much attention to Ji Mo, asking more was just a small talk, then he waved his hand and let Master Ji go on his own.

Wang Shizhu is very normal about this, just follow along with a bag of dry food, this circle can be regarded as a private education course, there is no need to inform everyone, and those who want to go will naturally follow up.

Here, when the order to repair the bridge came out, some people came to Master Ji's house first to meet up, and those who wanted to go along with them, and some had followed Master Ji's route in previous years, and went to the first bridge to wait.

So, in the end, there were about a dozen people who actually went on the road. They belonged to the kind who were not afraid of ordinary bandits when they walked on the road. Each of them carried a bag with dry food and shoes in it.

Ji Mo is small and weak, and Wang Shizhu carried his burden. Apart from a change of clothes, there are shoes made by Mrs. Ji. It is necessary to praise these shoes. The real layered bottom is soft and soft. It is easy to use, the most rare thing is that they are afraid that they will wear too much, and a layer of leather is specially added to the bottom, so that the soles will not be easily worn through by stones.

Master Ji also has a pair of the same shoes, and they are all in the bag.

These guys, it doesn’t matter whether they wear clothes or not. They wear shabby clothes, or they are bare-chested. No one said a word, but whether the shoes are good or not, it really affects things, at least it is difficult to travel far.

Wang Shizhu also has shoes made by Mrs. Ji, or in other words, those of them who were accepted as disciples by Mrs. Ji must at least have a pair of Mrs. Ji’s shoes. As for shoes and so on, the relationship between master and apprentice is good, not necessarily because of this teacher's wife's trouble.

Everyone wants to be cared for.

Needless to say, those senior brothers who are married and still have wives at home, those who are not married, or those who don’t feel much warmth at home, really treat the pungent Mrs. Ji as another mother, and their filial piety is very sincere. It's a pity that they run back and forth with Master Ji every year. When Master Ji is not at home, most of them are not at home, so they really can't help.

Chatting on the road, from the shoe matter to the teacher's wife, some people complained about their wives, some people talked about their children, and some people talked about the delicious dishes that Ji's wife cooked during the Chinese New Year. tired.

When Ji Mo gets tired from walking, he will be carried by his senior brothers. At first, Wang Shizhu will be carried by other senior brothers in turn. Compared with walking on the road, it is much more comfortable on the senior brother's back, even if there is still a smell of sweat.

A brother didn't know what he was carrying, and a piece protruded from his baggage. As he walked, he kept poking at Ji Mo's body. Later, when he was resting, he opened it and looked, and it turned out to be a small pot with a handle.

"My family told me that it's comfortable to drink hot water outside, and it's not too heavy. Just carry it on your back. I specially hired a blacksmith to do it. It's expensive!"

That simple and honest smile reveals a sense of happiness in the water vapor, and it is not the one who says "prodigal wife" at home.

This dog food is sprinkled, sour teeth!

Ji Mo clicked his tongue twice, but he did not drink less hot water. If it weren't for the convenience of getting water, it would have cost a little firewood to boil the water. The brothers who also ate dog food would probably not leave a sip of hot water for that brother.

If you can stay overnight at night, you can stay overnight. Free accommodation is the best. If you can’t, burn the whole fire, eat around the fire, move the fire to another place, and spread a burden on the heated area. Skin, you can sleep.

The clothes in the baggage are used as quilts, and the shoes are used as pillows. There is really nothing wasted.

If the "pillow" is not high enough, you can put stones or wood under the shoes, and you can sleep well. If you don't pay attention to sleeping until midnight, you may use someone's arms and thighs as pillows, and those who hug you She sleeps with her feet on her feet, and when she wakes up, she will make a few pee pee pee sounds.

Ji Mo is young and fluffy, so he is really a suitable pillow candidate. He sleeps among senior brothers and wakes up in the morning with two extra arms on his body. Occasionally, he will be awakened by tug-of-war in the middle of the night. Chunmeng, humming and chirping to disturb the people, will be laughed at during the day.

After getting along for a long time, my three views are a little bit broken, this strong androgen atmosphere, tsk tsk...
