The seven emotions and six desires are all my nourishment

"Since you agreed, please inform everyone and hold a meeting in the evening."

"I'm going to feed the elephant first, you go ahead and do your work." Wuyi stood up, touched the captain's head, and rode the elephant away again.

The Dai people have always been a matriarchal society, with men marrying off and women marrying off. Women in the village have a relatively high status. The reason why the team leader was chosen is because he can read and speak Chinese well.

Otherwise it would be difficult to communicate between the two sides. The men in the village are all good-tempered, but the girls are more aggressive.

However, Wuyi was a bit too aggressive. When everyone saw the captain being touched on the head by Wuyi without any respect, some of them lowered their heads to hold back their laughter, while others frowned in secret dissatisfaction.

The captain himself was used to being touched and didn't mind it.

He looked at Wuyi and saw that he could exchange those worthless things for so many supplies in one trip, and his eyes lit up.

Since the policy is real, there is no need to worry about speculation, so let’s do it!

After all, they are young people, brave and smart!

These years have scared people out of their wits...

In the evening, a bonfire was lit on the open ground. Before the party began, everyone sat around on the ground, and May Day and the team leader stood on the wooden stage.

"Everyone, please be quiet!" The team leader shouted through a loudspeaker rolled out of a banana leaf.

Wuyi saw that the place was still noisy, so he took out a green handheld loudspeaker from his bag.

A sharp electric current sounded.

"Everyone, be quiet! The meeting is starting now!" Wuyi shouted, and the audience below the stage instantly quieted down, but suddenly became noisy again. "What the hell is this?"

"Is it a speaker? Why is it so small? The sound is quite loud."

"Yeah, it scared me and made my ears hurt."

"..."

The team leader silently threw away the banana leaf in his hand and looked at Wuyi with resentment.

May Day "...for you, for you."

The captain took the loudspeaker, touched it, pressed the switch, and then looked at the red words on it. His eyes sparkled as he said, "It must be a lot of money, right?"

"It's a lot of money..."

"Money..."

The loudspeaker was really loud, and the people below burst into laughter. They had finally quieted down, but now the chaos started again.

Wuyi couldn't help laughing, and the captain blushed and turned off the switch.

Wuyi wiped away the tears of laughter and said, "Well, it's all my money. The world is really good now. Everything can be sold."

"I'm just a kid selling goods, but no one trusts me. Captain, the burden must be carried by the adults in the village."

The captain sighed and patted Wuyi's head. "Thank you for your hard work. Don't worry, I won't let you fight alone in the future. Uncle apologizes to you."

Wuyi's head felt heavy and warm, as if she had not expected the captain to say that. She was stunned for a moment and her eyes turned red. She turned her head away awkwardly and didn't say anything else.

The captain's heart ached and softened when he saw this. "How about you live with me? Yu Niang likes you too."

"You have brothers and sisters at home, it's much better than being alone."

"No need, I'm fine, thank you, Captain." Wuyi wiped away his tears and refused with a smile.

"Let's have a meeting first. The roads in the village must be repaired. Once they're repaired, it will be convenient for transporting goods. Once we have money, we can eat pineapple rice every day!"

"If we have money, we can install electric wires, and if we have electricity, we can have a TV! With a TV, we will know more about policies." Wuyi's eyes were shining, and he was full of hope for life.

The captain gently touched her head again, without asking any questions, but just thought to himself that he should visit her more often in the future.

The captain turned on the loudspeaker.

……

After several months of hard work, the villages started to make money.

Because things are different now than before. As long as you work harder, you will earn more!

Having tasted the sweetness, everyone soon united together and every household sent out able-bodied men to build the road.

The rest of the men, women, young and old, after finishing their farm work in the fields, lived to dry preserved fruits, make tea, catch fish and shrimp, pick fruits, dig bamboo shoots, and make rice noodles.

In the villages, big and small, no one is idle, and the whole place is full of prosperity.

April 4th, Songkran Festival.

The local New Year has arrived, and the long-lost bonfire circle dance and lively folk songs have returned.

The people in the village changed into their most beautiful new clothes, and after paying homage to the Buddha statue, they took water scoops and splashed water on each other for fun.

Time is like the water in the village, like the migrating cattle, horses and elephants, coming and going, going and coming again.

Gradually, the children in the village grew up, electricity was available in the village, some people in the village bought TVs, the conditions in the village improved, and the clothes became brighter.

People's spirits and complexions improved, and the village became lively again.

In 1982, a new teacher came to the school in the village.

The children who had been teachers for a few years also went back to school, and the village paid their tuition and supported them.

The team leader originally wanted to send Wuyi to school, but Wuyi's academic performance was terrible and she herself didn't want to go, so she refused very firmly.

Therefore, in order to be safe on May Day, we decided to find another way! !

In the past few days, she summoned countless snakes, insects, rats, ants, birds and beasts at night to help her find out the situation at the border and news about the troops!

She can't leave now and must stay here until she turns 17.

Because once she left, the conscienceless devils would not be able to find her and would inevitably dig out other people's eyes and kidneys. This cause and effect could not be borne by others.

Therefore, she must have an identity, she must have an identity that can protect herself and turn things around.
