doomsday survival

Chapter 169 Changbai School ([-])

Letting go of this topic, which was only depressing in Liangliang's eyes, but actually very heavy, Shi Jian turned to ask about Liangliang's study: "Liangliang, what do you all study?"

"Learning, arithmetic."

"Then how are you studying?"

Liangliang said arrogantly: "I'm really good now. I know more than 300 characters, and I can add, subtract, multiply and divide within a hundred."

Shi Jian smiled and said, "That's really powerful. Who taught you?"

"Grandpa Li."

"He and Great Elder Li Mingyu are—" Shi Jian naturally thought of the arrival of Li Mingyu, the first Great Elder of the Changbai Tribe.

"Grandpa Li called Grandpa Li Grandpa." Liangliang said with a twist.

Grandpa is what people in Northeast China call their great-grandfather, and sometimes they call it that way when they are too senior.

Shi Jian continued to ask: "Then your grandpa Li didn't say what's the use of learning these things?"

"Grandpa Li said that if you can read characters, at least you can go to the bathroom without going wrong, and you can read story books." Liangliang said innocently.

Shi Jian couldn't help laughing, and secretly said: "This old man Li will find a reason." Hearing the story book, he asked curiously: "Do you still have books?"

"Well, quite a few. It's just that I can't understand most of them," Liangliang said a little frustrated, but he immediately cheered up again, "I believe that sooner or later I will be able to understand all those books, even Grandpa Li can't understand them." Yes, I can understand it too!"

Shi Jian didn't speak any more, looking at Xiao Liangliang who was in the last days but still had a strong desire for knowledge, he suddenly felt his whole body cheered up.

"Humanity still has hope, and civilization will not be lost." Shi Jian said silently in his heart.

The two of them, one after the other, soon arrived at the place where they had dinner last night.

Shi Jian originally thought that this place was only open for gatherings, but he didn't expect it to be full of people this morning, so he realized that this was the canteen of the Changbai tribe.

After finding yesterday's seat, all the Xing'an tribesmen were already seated, and he was the only one waiting.

Xia Changhe and Wang Lie stayed with the Xing'an tribesmen as usual. They were talking with other people, and the atmosphere seemed to be very harmonious.

Seeing Shi Jian approaching, Wang Lie stood up and said, "Brother Shi, take a look around, isn't our place okay?"

Shi Jian nodded, and praised sincerely: "Don't say it, your work here is really good, much better than ours before."

The old Feng Kuang next to him blushed, it turned out that he and Chen Qiong had messed up those places.He said awkwardly: "Shi Jian, aren't you talking nonsense? They are all professionals in this field, how can we compare?"

Wang Lie explained with a smile, and Shi Jian finally understood the reason.

It turns out that there are many people of all kinds in the Changbai tribe, and migrant workers who specialize in construction account for a large proportion.Although these people can't design those beautiful buildings, they have been engaged in this industry for many years and know some layouts, so they naturally built this base very well.

Moreover, there are a large number of experienced farmers who have their own unique views on building terraces and digging canals. The construction of farmland is not comparable to that of Chen Qiong and Feng Kuang, who have become monks halfway through.

These two groups of people were organically combined and exchanged what they needed, and finally built the Changbai tribe into what it is today.

"It's really 360 lines, and the best in every line. We can't compare with you in this regard." Shi Jian sighed.

"Haha, it's useless to say less, eat!" Wang Lie patted Shi Jian on the shoulder and said with a smile.It can be seen that Shi Jian's praise made him very proud.

Shi Jian asked while eating: "Brother Wang, did you all eat together?"

"Don't you guys?" Wang Lie asked in surprise.

"Of course we are, it's just how many people we have here. You must have more than 200 here?" Shi Jian asked.

"If you count them all, there are a total of 270 four," said Wang Lie, as the head of the tribe, who knew the situation of the tribe well.

"It's not easy to cook with so many people."

"That's better than having each family cook alone," Wang Lie explained. "We have 43 families in total. If each family cooks by itself, 43 people are needed. If everyone eats together, only ten people are enough to cook. This saved more than 30 labors.”

"Shi Jian, you are young, so you may not know. Brother Feng must know," Xia Qianhe said next to him, "This is the original people's commune, and we eat from the big pot."

In their eyes, Shi Jian was just a person who grew up in the last days and didn't understand the things of the old times at all.Who would have thought that Shi Jian was born more than ten years earlier than Feng Kuang.

Seeing that Shi Jian was called a child, Feng Kuang was very relieved, and said with a smile: "Brother Xia, children are ignorant, I am laughing at you."

Shi Jian lowered his head to eat depressedly, and said nothing.

Seeing Shi Jian deflated, Feng Kuang smiled even more happily.However, he also raised an objection: "Big pot rice was defined as a wrong method at the time, and it dispelled people's enthusiasm."

Xia Qianhe said with a smile: "It depends on what era it is. Now is the end of the world, and it is good for people to survive. In order to survive, no one will be lazy. Moreover, all our things belong to the tribe. Harvesting Whether it is the food or the materials obtained from the old areas, all of them will be put into the tribal warehouse. Our elders and King Ji have to work the same, there is no special, real public ownership."

Shi Jian and Feng Kuang understood that they were like a primitive society. Although they were divided into families, they had no private property.And as a manager, he doesn't have any privileges, but is only responsible for the arrangement and management of the tribe's affairs.

Who would have thought that the ultimate social structure pursued by countless people at the beginning was actually realized in a tribe with less than 300 people in the last days.

Is this a kind of irony?Could it be that only when human beings face this kind of extinction, can they abandon selfishness and unite as one?
If one day, human beings develop again, will they repeat the old path of "shared adversity but not shared wealth"?
Shi Jian thought about these secretly, but couldn't find the answer.

In the end, he said to himself: "The human heart is the most difficult thing to control in this world."

At this time, Wang Lie's words interrupted Shi Jian's thinking. He said: "Our division of labor is also very clear. Everyone is engaged in different jobs. Although some people may have more leisure time, their jobs cannot be replaced. , naturally no complaints."

"For example, Elder Li Hui is a teacher. He is in charge of teaching the children. He leads a few women to take care of all the children, which saves everyone a lot of trouble. Also, Elder He Feng, he and his son He Chong are doctors. Diagnose and treat diseases for everyone." Wang Lie continued to give examples.

"Unexpectedly, although the Changbai tribe is small, it has all the internal organs." Feng Kuang sighed.

"The main reason is that there were many people in the past, and they could do everything, which was passed down from generation to generation." Xia Qianhe explained.

Therefore, population is the most precious resource in the last days.Even if there will be some survival crisis due to the population at first, once the initial difficulties are overcome, the blowout effect brought about by the huge population base will definitely surprise people.

After breakfast, Wang Lie and Xia Qianhe didn't repeatedly invite them to join the gang, they just asked Shi Jian and the others to spend more time in the tribe.

The Xing'an tribe returned to the residence again, and Shi Jian briefly told everyone what happened in the morning.

Whether it was Yu Liang who sneaked back and failed, or Wang Lie went to the fields to work in person, everyone in Xing'an had a good impression of this place.After a brief chat, everyone followed yesterday's arrangement and went their separate ways.

Shi Jian explained to Andre, telling him to be careful, while he and Xia Qing went out together.

This time, his destination was the Changbai tribe's school.He is very interested in this school that can still persist in passing on knowledge in the last days, and wants to find out for himself.

In Shi Jian's heart, he respected those who could persevere in passing on the fire of civilization, and couldn't wait to have a deep talk with that Elder Li Hui.

The school is easy to find. There is a large playground surrounded by houses next to the residential area, which is where the school is located.

Before the two of them got close to the school, they heard the sound of reading aloud from the school. It seemed that the school had already started class.

After entering the campus, Shi Jian looked in from a classroom window, and saw a sweet-looking female teacher teaching a dozen children.

This female teacher is not too old, and she looks like she is just in her early twenties. Although her clothes are old, they are very neat and tidy, giving people a clean and refreshing feeling.

It was Liangliang from Jiwang's family who was the first to notice someone outside, and he was also in this class.Seeing Shi Jian outside, Liangliang kept waving at Shi Jian.

Shi Jian smiled brightly and waved his hands.

Seeing that Liangliang was not paying attention to the lecture, the female teacher glanced out of the window and saw that it was Shi Jian and Xia Qing outside, and knew that they were the leader couple of the Xing'an tribe who came yesterday.She stopped explaining, let the students read the book by themselves, and walked out by herself.

Shi Jian thought that the female teacher must have come to greet him, so he was going to say something polite, saying that it would affect the class and so on.

I never thought that when this female teacher appeared, her face was as cold as frost, and she reprimanded Shi Jian: "Who let you in? Don't you know that class is now in session? Get out of here!"

The smile on Shi Jian's face froze immediately, and he repeatedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we're leaving right away." After speaking, he pulled Xia Qing and turned around to leave.

They had just walked a few steps when they heard a slightly old voice from behind: "It's Chief Shixian and his wife, come and sit with me."

Shi Jian turned around and saw that person was one of the elders he saw last night. He was in a hurry and didn't remember his name. Now that he thinks about it, it should be Li Hui.

"Dad, why did you let him in? He was teasing Wang Liangliang outside the window just now." The female teacher said dissatisfied.
