Chapter 46 Xiangyu's Worries

At noon, when the cattle came home from herding, my mother had already prepared lunch.

Li Xiangyu was tying the cattle, but I was a little hungry and thirsty. Seeing a well in front of the house, I put down the reins, brought up a bucket of water, and took a handful with my hands. When I was about to drink, Li Xiangyu yelled loudly: "You can't drink, You can't drink that water!"

The well I dug at home has clear water that can reflect people's shadows. Why can't I drink it?Since ancient times, mountain springs have been rich in mineral elements. There is a saying of nourishing people. I don't know why Li Xiangyu made such a fuss.

Li Xiangyu tied the cow to a tree, strode over, pointed to the water in the well and said, "The water here can only be used for washing, not for drinking!"

"why?"

"The water here is polluted. Several enterprises have been introduced into our village a few years ago, and the sewage discharge measures were not done well, which caused the groundwater to be destroyed. The technicians in the county have tested the water samples, and the lead element has seriously exceeded the standard. In recent years It has been under treatment, but it has not yet reached the drinking standard."

"What about drinking water, how to solve it?"

"Temporarily subsidized by the company, we buy bottled water to drink!"

There are green hills all around, but I didn't expect the groundwater to be damaged so badly!A few years ago, everyone was desperately ruining the ecological environment for money, and now, in order to improve the ecological environment, they are desperately ruining money.It only suffers from those people who have suffered because of this, such as Liu Lei's mother.I think her illness is more or less related to the water quality in the vicinity.

After lunch, Li Xiangyu was riding a motorcycle, holding two buckets, and was going to take me to fetch water.In fact, instead of buying bottled water, many people use that money for other purposes.As for drinking water, I had to ride a motorcycle to fetch water from another village a few miles away.

When passing by the national highway, you can see the chimneys of several factories standing on the outskirts of Qingshan, emitting green smoke from time to time.According to Li Xiangyu, it is a thermal power station.Originally established in the urban area, it was relocated here the year before last.Thermal power stations use coal, which if I remember correctly, releases a lot of sulfur dioxide.After many years, if the pollution here is serious, acid rain will form, and the soil quality will also become acidic, which will affect the planting of crops.As for people's lives, it will be more or less affected.

Yes, the relocation of the power plant has made it very convenient to use electricity in this area, but the pollution is also obvious.Weighing the pros and cons, after all, the gains outweigh the losses!

Li Xiangyu sighed, he only had one wish, he hoped that he could gain a firm foothold in the city, and then take his parents out to support him for the rest of his life.

"Sit still, wife, I'm going to speed up!"

When leaving the national road and entering the cement road in the countryside, Li Xiangyu saw that there were few pedestrians, so he stepped up the accelerator, and the motorcycle was moving forward with a rumbling sound.The wind blew my hair straight back, and the sound of howling wind filled my ears.Without a hard hat, I could barely keep my eyes open.I hugged Li Xiangyu tightly, for fear of being knocked off the motorcycle accidentally.My timidity seemed to have stimulated Li Xiangyu, he rode faster and faster, and I was so scared that I stuck to his back.

When he reached the destination, he slammed on the brakes and stopped there steadily, but due to inertia, I rushed forward and hit his back.He turned around and said with a smug smile: "How about it, brother is good at riding a bicycle, right?"

"Just a lunatic!" Getting off the motorcycle, I could only feel my legs still trembling, "Don't ride a bicycle in the future, you won't know how to die someday! Do you think this is awesome? Yes Extreme sports? Idiot!" I sat on the edge of the well angrily and watched him fill up two buckets of water.

He tied the water to both sides of the motorcycle, walked up to me, looked me up and down, and said flatteringly: "Okay, I know I was wrong! Didn't I just want to show off in front of you and get your praise?" I've never ridden so fast before, I promise you, I'll never be so crazy again! Don't be mad!"

Seeing him submissive, I had no choice but to forgive him.On the way back, he was smooth and steady, not so crazy anymore.To be honest, he looks very handsome in drag racing, very masculine, a bit like a young and Dangerous boy, which is admirable.However, safety first, this will always be my basic requirement for my loved ones!

After lunch, when clearing the table, my mother suddenly had a nosebleed.Li Xiangyu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and repeatedly asked his mother to go to the hospital for a full-body examination.But my mother resolutely refused, and said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just a nosebleed, what a big deal! Don't think about it! I will go back to Guangzhou tomorrow. I finally let you go to university, but you still don't give me a good study!" "

"Auntie, let's go to the hospital for a checkup! Xiangyu is worried about you like this, even if you don't care about going to school, don't you think so?"

"What are you fussing about, kid, rural people are not so expensive! Not to mention spending money, it also delays the work in the field. Maybe it's winter, and the air is so dry, it's okay. It's the same in previous years!" Mother raised her head for a while, dealt with it a little, and then started to get busy again.

In the afternoon, at Li Xiangyu's request, my mother took us to Liu Lei's mother's cemetery.Liu Lei's mother was buried on the mountain opposite Li Xiangyu's house, and Liu Lei's house was on the other side of the mountain.At this time, the Liu family has closed the door.Since Liu Lei's mother passed away, Liu Lei's father also went to Guangzhou.

Standing in front of Liu Lei's mother's grave, Li Xiangyu felt sad.This woman is inextricably linked with Li Xiangyu.She is not only Liu Lei's mother, but also Li Xiangyu's distant aunt.She is not only his aunt, but also his godmother.She cooked for him and cut clothes for him.When he was being bullied at school, his father, who was a teacher, always endured it. At this time, this godmother always stood up for him.

The godmother who cared so much for him is now lying quietly in this piece of land.

"Mom, there is a kind of pain called 'the child wants to raise but not to be loved', don't leave me with such regrets, okay? You can go and check it out, it won't cost much!" In front of Liu Lei's mother's grave, he was so Calm, yet so trembling in the voice.

"Are you afraid that I will be like your mother-in-law? Silly boy, your mother's body is very strong. Your brother is only in the second year of high school, and you are only in college. You have to finish your studies and marry a wife. The road ahead is still very long." How long! Even if it’s for you, I will take good care of my body. I know my body well, it’s really nothing serious, why spend so much money! The current hospital can’t afford it. , let's not waste that money!"

"Liu Lei's father went to Guangzhou and found a job at the construction site. He can earn more than 3000 a month. Mom, why don't you go to Guangzhou too. I rented a house there, and you can live in my house. Find a cleaner, a It's more cost-effective than the few acres of Susukida you planted at home! I'm really worried about you now!"

"Is a home without a woman still called a home? I don't feel at ease if only your father and brother are left at home. I will be where your father is. In this life, I will not go anywhere!"

Mother went down the mountain, walking alone in front of her.A woman in her fifties already has gray temples, and her body is gradually becoming stooped.Time, you took away a young woman's youth, but left her with such a heavy back.

Li Xiangyu sat in front of Liu Lei's mother's grave and wept bitterly.I don't know whether she is crying for the godmother under the underworld, or pity for the mother who walks alone.He cried so sadly, like a child.

In the evening, Dad came back.The three of us drank wine like men, full of pride.

"Ah Hong, Uncle respects you!" Dad poured me a cup suddenly and said he wanted to respect me. One. In his heart, you must be the most important friend. This child, studying in Guangzhou alone, we can't control the mountains and rivers. You were born and raised in Guangzhou-there is a saying that a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake. As a local, you should be quite capable. In case this kid is in trouble, I hope you can take good care of him. Uncle is here to ask you!" After finishing, he drank it all in one gulp.

I was terrified and drank it in one gulp, and said: "That's what it should be, don't worry, uncle!"

Li Xiangyu seemed a little unconvinced, poured himself a glass, and complained: "Dad, what is this! I am much more experienced than him, and I can take care of him almost!"

"Arrogance!" Dad seemed a little drunk, blowing his beard and staring, "Your arrogance, it's time to change it! Your stomach is not enough, why care about it? Whether it's grievances, dissatisfaction, joy or pain, Put it all away for me. Do you know what this is called? This is called deepness, this is called stability! People who show emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy will not be successful! Look at your restless look! Boy, life Your knowledge is profound, so learn it slowly!"

"Uncle, Xiangyu is right, he is the one who takes care of me! Don't worry, he is fine in Guangzhou, so you don't have to worry! It's you and auntie, he is quite worried."

"You guys have to go back to Guangzhou by car tomorrow, so that's all you have to drink, go and rest!"

After washing and returning to the bedroom, I hurriedly bolted the door, pushed Li Xiangyu down on the bed, and a "hungry tiger pounced on food" pressed him over.I leaned on him and smiled triumphantly: "Baby, I have received the imperial decree, you must obey me in the future! If you don't obey me, I will sue Dad!"

"If you are a Zhongshan wolf, you will be wild if you succeed!" He turned over and pressed me on his body, but his hands started to walk around me, "In these days, only husbands sing and wives follow, no women sing husbands to follow. Wife, husband guides wife, This is the traditional culture of China for thousands of years, you still have to listen to me!"

"No! Why do I go down every time? This time I want to counterattack!" I struggled, trying to subdue Li Xiangyu.

Li Xiangyu had a smirk on his face, and held my hand tightly with both hands.His strength is enormous, a tall person like me has no strength to fight back under him.He showed a complacent look: "Boy, if you want to fight back against me, you have to practice for a few years first! Girl, let me make out with you!" After finishing speaking, he pouted his sexy little mouth and forced it towards my face...
