Pastoral Daily Life - Chapter 115

[Chapter 115 Spring Thunder]

Yan Yue didn’t talk to Lu Lingxi on the phone for too long. Although the background on Xiaoxi’s side was lively like a vegetable market, Yan Yue could easily distinguish Wang Shuxiu’s voice calling him to go back to eat dumplings. Gently hung up the phone, Yan Yue stood alone in the yard for a long time, and all the images of him and Lu Lingxi from the time they met to the present flashed in his mind. Yan Yue unconsciously curved the corners of his lips, the coldness on his body faded, and his expression softened.

After thinking about it, Yan Yue did not go back to the house but went to find An Jie. He was in a good mood now, thinking that leaving An Jie alone in the room would inevitably find out his conscience. Anyway, he had to eat when he went back, so he could just accompany An Jie to eat together.

An Jie was a little happy to see Yan Yue at the beginning, but he soon had a headache. I don’t know what kind of stimulation Yan Yue got, but he insisted on eating dumplings with money. An Jie looked strange, “Is there still money in the dumplings?”

Yan Yue explained to him patiently: “This is a custom. Those who eat money represent good fortune.”

An Jie felt that Yan Yue did not believe it . This person, he looked at Yan Yue thoughtfully, “Did Xiaoxi eat it?”

Yan Yue gave An Jie a positive look, An Jie was speechless for a while, and could only wait with Yan Yue hungry. Eat dumplings with money.

Lu Lingxi, who was far away in Fengcheng, didn’t know that Yan Yue was tossing the Yan family’s chef, and was setting off firecrackers in the open space of the community. He and Xiao Hong played for a long time in the morning. After dinner, the whole family went out and set off firecrackers together.

Xiao Feng placed a gypsophila star on the ground, handed Lu Lingxi a cigarette, and instructed: “Be careful, and run away.”

Lu Lingxi nodded. He had already experienced this morning, but he was still a little nervous. .

There were children around him cheering him up, “Brother Xiaoxi, come on.”

Da Hei also called out in cooperation, Xiao Wanyuan ran around him excitedly, Lu Lingxi smiled shyly, and lit the cigarette carefully. Gypsophila. A “bang” sounded, the sky full of stars exploded in the sky, and countless light spots lit up in the starry sky, shining like stars.

Lu Lingxi raised his head and was looking at it when he heard a loud noise in his ear. He didn’t take it seriously at first, thinking that someone had set off the firecrackers. Who knew that the loud noises sounded one after another, and Xiao Hong said loudly: “It’s Chunlei. This year’s spring thunder came early enough.”

“Chunlei? Is it going to rain?” Lu Lingxi asked ignorantly.

Xiao Hong laughed, “It won’t rain, it’s dry thunder. It’s just the beginning of spring, where’s the rain coming.” While the

two were talking, the white panel suddenly floated out. Lu Lingxi was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the panel. A blue river appeared on the panel, as if something had cracked, and the river that had been fixed began to flow slowly, as if it really existed in front of Lu Lingxi.

“The purification of the primary river is completed, the reward of the Heart of Plants +100, the force of nature +1.” The

primary river? Lu Lingxi immediately thought of Lingshui River. He looked at the blue water wave-like picture that was flowing all the time with a hint of curiosity, and poked it gently with his hand. The cold touch made Lu Lingxi shudder, his eyes widened suddenly, and he poked again curiously.

It wasn’t his illusion, he seemed to really feel the coldness of the river. Calm down, there is still the faint sound of the river flowing. Lu Lingxi’s interest was completely lifted, and he wanted to go to Lingshui River immediately to see what was going on.

Today is the annual New Year’s Eve in Lingshui Village

. After eating dumplings, the village chief Li Dalei began to think about the fireworks at night. The village’s financial situation is good this year, and by the end of the year there is still a little money left. Li Dalei found a few village committees together, and the village simply paid someone to set off fireworks for half an hour on the evening of the New Year’s Eve. The villagers praised Li Dalei for doing a good job without having to pay for it and seeing the fireworks.

Originally, Li Dalei wanted to finish the work early, but the villagers were noisy and disagreed. Why do you have to wait until the dumplings are made and eaten before putting them out, otherwise everyone is busy making dumplings, and who will show the fireworks? Li Dalei had no choice but to set the time at nine o’clock. Anyway, the villagers sleep late on the night of the 30th year, and they are not afraid of affecting anyone.

“Cough cough.” Li Dalei turned on the radio at home and spoke in a dialect.

“Villagers, villagers, the fireworks will officially start at nine o’clock in the evening. The location of the fireworks is set by the river. If you want to go, you can go and have a look. Be sure to pay attention to safety. Parents with dolls pay attention, no one is allowed. Let the dolls get close to the river.”

“Repeat, villagers…”

As soon as the broadcast was over, some children in the village were clamoring to go to the river to watch. Some parents are too lazy to go out, “You can see it from the yard. Going to the river to toss something.” The child refused to agree and rolled on the ground wearing new clothes. Parents feel distressed about the new clothes, and hurriedly grabbed the little boy. “Look at it, go and see it now.” There were quite a few children making a fuss like this, and after a while, the Kung Fu River was surrounded by adults and children running around.

Uncle Li and Aunt Li were also wrapped up and stood by the river, waiting to see. Uncle Li whispered, “If you have to come here, you can watch it in the yard at home.” “What do you know?” Aunt Li was dissatisfied, “Is it for watching fireworks

? It’s for the fun.”

, The salute standing by the river has sprayed out colorful flames, transformed into the shape of flowers in the air. Peonies, chrysanthemums, phoenixes, and gypsophila, the people in the village are dizzy and unblinking. Just when everyone was attracted by the fireworks, suddenly a loud explosion sounded in the sky.

“Chunlei?” Uncle Li looked surprised. Just as he was about to say that this year’s spring thunder came early enough, there was a faint creaking sound behind him. He turned back quickly, and saw that the ice layer on the Lingshui River seemed to be slowly cracking, and a small piece of ice layer fell into the water, splashing a few silver splashes.

“The ice has melted, there are babies at home, pay attention.” Uncle Li shouted in a high voice.

The surrounding villagers heard what they heard, and subconsciously turned around and looked over. On the Lingshui River, the swarthy ice layers cracked open one by one and fell into the river one after another. The sound of water roared, and the ice layer was quickly washed away, revealing the sparkling silver water surface. Under the moonlight, the Lingshui River shone with starlight as if it would glow. The occasional splashes were transparent and clear, and there was no pollution at all.

Uncle Li walked a few steps to the river, and was pleasantly surprised to see that the river water had recovered from the previous pollution, and was even cleaner than before. The silver water splashes stirred, the green water plants swayed as the water flow stretched, and a fresh water vapor surrounded him.

Uncle Li took a deep breath, and couldn’t help but stretch out his hand and tease it twice in the river. The cold river water made him shiver, but Uncle Li laughed happily. He had long heard Xiaoxi Doll say that they had taken over the purification project of the Lingshui River. Although I don’t know when Xiaoxi made it, Uncle Li firmly believes that the clear water of the river is the credit of Xiaoxi’s doll.

“What’s going on?” Someone asked blankly.

“What else is going on.” Uncle Li explained: “The pollution is gone, and the government has paid for it.” “When did it take care

of it?”

“When do you care?” The other person next to him answered impatiently, “It’s alright if you manage it.”

“Look at the clear water. There should be fish in summer, right?”

“Almost, this year, water birds and other things should also fly back.”

The attention of the villagers in Lingshui Village was quickly purified. The Lingshui River was attracted, and they had not seen such clear water in several years. When the plastic factory in Songjiazhuang was not polluted before, although the river water was not as stinky as it was polluted, people didn’t pay much attention to protection, and it was common to throw a plastic bag, a drink bottle, or something. It was only after the plastic factory polluted the Lingshui River that they realized the importance of the Lingshui River to them. Especially when the people in Songjiazhuang were poisoned last time, the villagers of Lingshui Village were terrified, they were afraid that they would also be poisoned at some point.

“Let me tell you something.” Li Dalei squeezed in front of everyone and said loudly: “Everyone has seen it, the government has paid us to manage the Lingshui River. We won’t talk about the past, and we can’t be like before. Just don’t take environmental protection seriously. From tomorrow onwards, no one will be allowed to throw plastic bags, drink bottles, etc. The money, a fine of 50 yuan, and I will use this money to invite people to set off fireworks at the end of the year.”

At the beginning, some people were dissatisfied when they heard that the fine was going to be fined, and when he was about to make trouble, Li Dalei said that he would use the money to invite people to set off fireworks. This time, the mouths that wanted to coax people were blocked, and the villagers laughed.

“The village chief’s idea is a good idea. The old man, I come to the river for a walk every day when I have nothing to do. I will watch the old man who dares to litter.” Uncle Xu shouted angrily.

Uncle Xu is of high rank in the village. He said so, it must be true. No one is going to spend 50 yuan to try Uncle Xu’s temper, and they all follow the statement that this idea is good, and everyone will love Lingshui River in the future.

Li Dalei breathed a sigh of relief and began to emphasize safety again. Especially those who have little dolls at home should pay attention, don’t let the little dolls run to the river by themselves, it will be too late to regret if something happens.

The villagers were chattering, and the people who set off the fireworks couldn’t wait. “It’s almost ten o’clock, I’ll go back if I don’t let go.”

“Let it go, let it go now.” Li Dalei hurriedly handed a pack of cigarettes over, saying that it would be over at half past nine, and they had been waiting for them. Don’t let people suffer.

What happened in Lingshui Village, Lu Lingxi knew about it the next day. He called Uncle Li to say New Year’s greetings on the morning of the first day of the new year. Uncle Li excitedly talked about the changes in Lingshui River. Uncle Li felt that he couldn’t see clearly last night, so he went to the river to take a look. After a night of scouring, the black layers of ice were no longer visible. The crystal clear water flowed down from the upper reaches, splashing a few small waves from time to time.

Uncle Li was very happy, “Xiao Xi, you guys have done a good deed, a good thing.”

Lu Lingxi was a little embarrassed by Uncle Li’s praise, and felt that he didn’t actually do anything, and it was all the panel’s credit. In his and Yan Yue’s plan, the Lingshui River was only the first step. He wanted to see if he could purify the several rivers polluted in Fengcheng by this method.

However… Lu Lingxi thought of Yan Yue’s words, the purification of the river is only a part, the more important thing is the management of corporate sewage, and even the adjustment of the industrial structure. If companies do not pay attention to sewage treatment, their subsequent purification is only to reduce losses rather than avoid losses. What’s more, maybe the company sees the good purification effect of the river, but it pollutes the environment more unscrupulously.

Lu Lingxi only hoped that what Yan Yue said was not true, it would be great if everyone could recognize the importance of water sources like Lingshui Village.
