The snow is just starting to fall ...
On the highway and the railway
No matter how far away you are, no matter what vehicle you come in,
As soon as you see the city, you will see a golden mountain rising to the east.
I have seen the great Golden Mausoleum.
If you follow the highway, you will see that the long rows of villages along the highway, which are connected to many neighborhoods at the entrance to the city, have been transformed into new plots.
Bago city.
The entrance to the city is at the stone pillar station.
The Aik Poon Pagoda is located not far from the road. Inside, there is a large pagoda.
Tea shops, restaurants, bus stops, etc. built on the same road as the new square.
Search gates and security checkpoints nearby...
At the far end of the forest gate.
The forest gate is located at a distance from the other gates. The reason is to bring wood.
When stopping and searching large vehicles, there is ample space to avoid traffic congestion.
It started to snow in the evening.
With the snow drifting, darkness is beginning to take over as the sun begins to set, as night approaches.
On the Yangon-Pagou highway, there were no shortage of cars, just passing by every now and then.
However, in the evening, cars started to move around.
Maung Shan lit a cigarette and looked to the left of the village road. He was on duty at the forest gate. He was a security guard.
Maung Shan's appearance is....
Befitting the name Shan, his skin is pale, like a true Shan man.
Maung Shan's education level was only eight grades. He failed the ninth grade twice, dropped out of school, and became a forest worker.
In the forest, Ohn Myint and Maung, both from Magway, were classmates in Bago. Maung Shan was from Bago. Ohn Myint had to come to Bago to study because of his father's work.
My father returned to Magway after receiving his pension.
Ohn Myint's father was a forest guard, so he hired his son and brother Shan to work with him, sending them to their native Bago, where they became forest security guards.
Maung Shan is only twenty-five years old.
He and his wife, Ma Nyein, have one son and one daughter. Their income and the children they raise are not very good for their livelihood.
As a bus station operator, he usually earns extra income from there, and since he also has a lot of money to spend on cigarettes and alcohol, Maung Shan has developed a taste for alcohol.
Therefore, after finishing work in the evening, instead of going straight home, they would go to a bar. They would meet and chat with the other members of the group, drinking and eating.
“Hehe... Teacher Shan, aren't you feeling well today?” “The sound coming from the forest gate made Maung Shan look up. “Hey... Phoe Pein, come here for a moment.”
"The person I was talking to on the street was called Phoe Pein... He was as thin as his name. Phoe Pein was a chicken who enjoyed being in the dirt. He had no parents and was helpless.
Although he was from Bago, he couldn't say where he had come from. He lived in the city, and when the Kyauktaingkan area was built, he arrived and was reduced to a life of a common servant, collecting and drinking alcohol at the government tavern.
All alcoholics can drink to Phoe Bein. He does whatever they ask. Phoe Bein, who sleeps next to the tavern, drinks from a glass, and eats whatever he can find, is happy in his own way. However, sometimes, when he runs out of money, he still wanders around the market like a drunkard.
It's not just about good morals.
Sometimes he helps, so the whole new world is safe for him.
If there was something to do, they would call him and pay for the drinks. They would also carry rice and beg for food if they could.
The addiction is at the bar.
"What are you asking, Teacher Shan?" Po Pein approached.
He was looking at her with his thin body, his small flat face, and his eyes wide open. His skin was dry from the effects of alcohol, his hair was matted, and his eyes were red.
“Come on............ Here, take this set of fish to my house, Ma Nyein, tell her, I fried the fish, and now I have a new car.” “Yes,” Phoe Bein handed over the set of fish.
"Sir... I'd like to have a drink."
"Stay away, if the night shift comes, I'll be off duty. I'll fight you when we meet at the shop. What about you?"
Po Pein laughed softly, grabbed a pair of fish, and started to enter the new hole.
It's a new plot of land next to the road, and the roads leading into the encroaching houses are cluttered with alleys.
A neighborhood where cars, let alone rickshaws, can't even get in, and there's a risk of fire.
The food stalls and tea shops outside the neighborhood are not very good, and are mostly used by migrant workers. Even if you go into the city, the sales are low and the people are sparse.
Po Pein pulled the five-legged child into Maung Shan's wife, Ma Nyein's house. Maung Shan's house was a small, thatched-roof house built in a squatter's neighborhood. Ma Nyein, although poor, lived neatly, and kept her house clean.
The household appliances and dishes were clean and tidy. Ma Nyein was not a beautiful person, but she liked things to be beautiful and clean.
Ma Nyein is only in his thirties. He is from Ohn Nee village. He met Maung Shan when he was going on a timber trip. His parents are farmers. - Ma Nyein is a frugal person.
She is disciplined and a good woman who can maintain her marriage.
As much as she respected Lin, she also fulfilled the five duties of a wife.
Teach your son and daughter a proper education.
The older son is in fifth grade and the younger daughter is in third grade. Both children worked hard. They passed each grade consistently and earned second place in their class.
For Ma Nyein, she only has enough to eat a meal with her husband's salary, so she earns a little extra money.
The fried rice was delivered from the Aung Kyauktaingkan bus terminal to the bakery.
Three snack shops competed for Ma Nyein's fried rice: Fried eggplant, Fried brah, and Mandalay bean.
With fifty fried food per shop per day, the income from delivering about three hundred fried food every morning is not bad.
The rest of the afternoon is also not allowed.
Ma Nyein's day job is...
He woke up at three in the morning and heated the oil pot.
The rice flour I took the night before
After mixing the baking soda and salt, preparing the food and oil, and heating the pot, we began frying.
At five in the morning, I got my lunch and went to the shops with my eldest son.
In the afternoon, they fried again, and this time they fried a lot of fried chicken and big balls of bread.
Some of those fried foods are sold by the son, who only comes out of school in the evening and sits at the bus stop with a small cart.
The little girl is a housekeeper.
The younger daughter also taught herself how to cook rice and helped her mother in some way.
Maung Shan's job is... As soon as he wakes up in the morning, he takes a shower, changes into his uniform, eats fried rice, and leaves the house.
After drinking tea at the bus station tea shop, we went to the forest office.
After the office had finished distributing tasks, he came to the gate office he was supervising.
Maung Shan was in charge of the three forest security and search personnel at the gate office. They had to listen to him and do their work.
-We have to check whether the goods being loaded by truck have a permit or a permit to carry them.
We also have to check for forest products such as firewood, charcoal, etc. In a way, it's a form of exploration from the exploration era.
The extra income he earns from going from place to place every day is divided into half going home and half going to the pub.
If it's after five in the evening, gate duty is over.
I had to hand it over to the night officer.
Maung Shan never went straight home. He only went through the pub.
