Chapter 253 The Monkey
July [-], Thursday, morning.
"Ding, the host's reward for signing in today is 'Honda' Z-100 motorcycle X10."
After Du Shouyi saw the motorcycle in the space clearly, he couldn't help laughing: "System, you are shameless, even stealing children's cars in the amusement park?" '
The Honda Z-100 is 'the monkey'.Honda Company was commissioned to design it in [-], and it was put into the playground after production in [-].
It was originally for children to play, but it seems that the children's fathers are happier.Because it was so popular with young men, 'Monkey' was officially mass-produced and put on the market in [-], so if the system rewards 'Monkey' now, it can only be 'stealed' from the playground.
The monkey came at the right time, and Du Shouyi was thinking about how to find something fun for Xiaowei.
Jianguo's little friends came to him to play almost every day, but Xiaowei's little friends stayed in the compound.The partners in the courtyard, Yan Lao Si and Bang Geng are two guys who are not very good at playing, which makes Du Shouyi always feel that he has to make up for him.
In the evening, Du Shouyi took his whole family to an open space, where Jianguo usually rode cubs at night, but now, there was a pile of things covered with canvas in the center of the open space.
Five or six meters away, Du Shouyi stopped everyone.
"Xiaowei, go and take a look at Bra."
The canvas was opened, and a beautiful little motorcycle appeared out of nowhere.
Xiaowei turned around in disbelief and asked, "Brother-in-law, is this for me?"
Du Shouyi smiled and said, "Do you like it?"
"I like it, I like it so much!"
"Such a small motorcycle?" Gong Xiaobei was also a little unbelievable.
"It's just a big toy, but it's quite interesting. If you're interested, you can also ride it."
Xiaowei is too young, Jianguo usually rides a motorcycle, and he can only watch while driving, and Gong Xiaobei will never allow him to touch it.But the monkey is very low, and Xiaowei can step on the ground with both feet, so there is no problem.
Motorcycles have a low center of gravity and self-powered power. In fact, as long as you learn to control the accelerator, motorcycles are easier than bicycles.After half an hour, Xiaowei was able to drive steadily by himself.
"It's sweaty all over. Take a rest first, and let Sister Yi try it too."
Gong Xiaobei was taken aback, and said, "Me?"
"Try it? It's a big toy. If you like it, I'll get you one tomorrow."
Xiaowei obediently got out of the car and almost lost his footing.At this point he was a little out of strength.But he was deeply fascinated by the thrill of driving the machine just now.
In the future, Ning Wei tried racing cars, speedboats, helicopters, small piston planes, etc. early on. He became a benchmark in the second generation of Kyoto, and was known as "the most playful person". partner for life.
His love for machinery and adventure also infected his nephew, Du Shouyi's son.These two uncles and nephews made people worry all the time. For this reason, Du Shouyi was often complained by Gu Ling and Gong Xiaobei.
There was nothing to say all night, and it was Friday, July [-]th.The system checked in ten 'Arai' motorcycle helmets today.
Rossi, Hamilton, etc., a large number of top F1 drivers and motorcyclists use Arai helmets.
Because of this, Du Shouyi was very surprised when several 'hard hats' appeared in the space.
'Arai started out by producing labor protection products?I don't seem to have heard of it? '
After thinking about it for a while, he realized that this is also a motorcycle helmet.
Now it was [-], what more could he ask for?Although Arai pursues an 'egg' design, that doesn't mean it can't produce hard hat helmets?
Besides, in the current weather, let alone a full helmet, you just wear a half helmet, who would wear it?It's suffocating.
Speaking of the weather, if you look at it from the perspective of foresight, the weather in Kyoto this year is not normal.
The first spring rain was at least a week later than usual, and then all the rain in the year seemed to be concentrated in July and August.No, it had been sunny for two days, and it was raining again.
Cloudy and sometimes sunny days can easily make people sick. The first mother in the courtyard, Huaihua, and Yan Jiekuang all caught a cold, but the two who should have the worst physique, the deaf grandmother and Yi Xiaoan, were safe and sound.
When delivering meals at noon, Du Shouyi saw the deaf grandma teasing Yi Xiaoan in the room, so he couldn't help asking, "Why are you here, little girl?"
"Her mother is sick, so I took her over and watched it with Grandma Banggan. It won't save our baby girl from getting sick, right? Xiao An?" After speaking, she teased Xiao An who was on the bed again.
"Why don't you let her sleep in Xiaobei's room at night, so that Big Mom can also cultivate well."
"No. There are both cats and birds in your place. What if you scratch it? I made an agreement with Grandma Banggen. If your aunt still catches a cold in the evening, let the girl go to Qin Huairu's room."
The old lady didn't know about the air conditioner, and if I had to say it, it would be safer for Xiao An to be at home, but there was no way to say that.
After leaving the ice cream, Du Shouyi visited Aunt Guo's house again. Aunt Guo was in a long period of self-recovery, and her legs and feet were still a little weak.
"Why do you take so many things again?"
"Running errands for our old lady."
Du Shouyi put down his things and said with a smile, "It's not much, just some sugar fire and fruit. The old lady said, just let you take a stroll around the house when you are free. Don't keep thinking about running outside when it rains.
Let your daughter and son-in-law run more errands for noodles and dishes. Don't always think about not bothering them, use them when you need them. "
Aunt Guo smiled and said, "Oh, I see. I've been bothering the old lady and she's thinking about it."
"That's right, you are all little girls in her eyes, and it hurts. His grandma has three grandchildren, and the old lady still calls her: Xiao Nizi, Xiao Nizi." Du Shouyi said The vivid sound and color made Mrs. Guo amused.
After teasing for a while, Du Shouyi, the dull boy, expressed his intentions.
"Ma'am, did your room get flooded in [-]?"
"It's in," she said, gesturing towards her calf, and said, "It's all up here."
"This year's rain looks no less than that of that year, and I'm afraid it will be even more watery.
How about going to our hospital for two days if you get angry?Our place is high and cannot be easily submerged, and we can take care of each other. "
"Is this what the old lady asked you to say?"
"Who else is there besides her? It's not that I'm sure you'll be upset. Maybe it's just the old lady who didn't see it right? I'm here today to let you prepare in advance. Don't panic when the time comes. We have a way out. And , Sister Guo also needs to notify in advance, so as not to worry her when the time comes."
When Du Shouyi came out of Mrs. Guo's house, her eye circles were red.
In the evening, Du Shouyi habitually strolled around the moat to see if the water level had risen.This is just a habit developed in the past two days, and it's not a big deal.
When it rains heavily in Kyoto, it is afraid that the houses will leak and collapse. They are all old and antique houses that cannot withstand the rainwater, but it is really rare to say that people are drowned.
Having said that, I have to digress again. In the 60s, the sewage and drainage system in Kyoto was relatively old and backward, and the oldest one was laid in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
In the 60s and 20s, the country made great efforts to carry out some reforms.At that time, the Big Brother standard was referred to. The main drainage channels were built according to the once-in-[-]-year standard, while the capillary drainage pipes were built according to the once-in-a-year standard.You read that right, once a year.
At that time, the preparation was to drain it away when it rained. In an inland city, there is only two to three hundred millimeters of precipitation a year in dry years. There are so many rivers, culverts, and lakes in the city. Why do we need such a strong underground drainage capacity? ?
Is there any problem with this way of thinking?In fact, there is really nothing wrong with it.
Whether it was in [-] or [-], it included those floods that occurred throughout the ages.The reason is because of the backflow of the surrounding rivers.
In other words, the surrounding drainage channels rose too high, exceeding the skyline of Kyoto.In this case, it is useless to build urban drainage according to the standard of once in ten thousand years, and the water cannot be discharged at all.
There are 92 outfalls around Kyoto, 67 of which were flooded in the parallel world in [-].One-third is draining water out, and two-thirds is pouring river water inward. This kind of elementary school students can understand it at a glance, and it is no wonder that it is not flooded.
Speaking of the river in Kyoto, I have to say something off topic.We all know that Liang Sicheng and his wife worked hard to protect the ancient city of Kyoto, and they are highly praised by later generations.But has anyone spoken out for the protection of the urban open-air water system in Kyoto?have no idea.If so, they are the real unsung heroes.
Don't think it's something that just happens naturally, it's not easy.
In Kyoto, there is a master of raising goldfish among the people, and he is also a historian.When he was first liberated, he gave away all the goldfish from Muhai in his family, and turned the pots upside down, so he stopped raising them.Because based on his understanding of history, the new regime will definitely carry out sanitation campaigns and major urban renovations. In the future, there may be no ditch for fish and insects in Kyoto.In history, Germany = country, Russia = country is like this.
But what he didn't expect was that several stinking ditches were reconstructed, but they were not filled.For example, the Longxugou near the Tianqiao and the Yuhe River near Nanluo have all been converted into culverts.There are still a lot of places where fish and insects can be caught.
So in the mid-50s he started raising goldfish again, and he continued to do so until the 21st century.
It can also be seen from this anecdote that the protection of the natural water system in Kyoto is likely to be done quietly behind the scenes, because such actions have exceeded historical laws and common cognition.
But is there such a thing?Is it the contribution of one person, several people, or a collective?What happened?This is no longer testable.
