Pastoral Daily Life

Yan Yue didn't talk to Lu Lingxi 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, flashing all the images of him and Lu Lingxi from the time they met to the present in his mind.Yan Yue unconsciously curled the corners of his lips, the coldness on his body faded away, and his expression softened.

After thinking about it, Yan Yue went to An Jie instead of going back to the house.He is in a good mood now, thinking of leaving An Jie alone in the room, he will inevitably find his conscience.Anyway, he still wants to eat when he goes back, so he might as well eat with An Jie.

An Jie was a little happy to see Yan Yue at the beginning, but soon he had a headache.I don't know what stimulated Yan Yue to insist on eating dumplings wrapped in money.An Jie had a strange expression on his face, "Can you put money in dumplings?"

Yan Yuejin patiently explained to him: "This is a custom, and those who eat money represent good fortune."

An Jie felt that Yan Yue didn't seem like someone who believed in this, so 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 to eat dumplings wrapped with money.

Lu Lingxi, who was far away in Fengcheng, didn't know that Yan Yue was tormenting the chef of Yan's family and was setting off firecrackers in the open space of the community.He and Xiao Hong played for half a day in the morning, and after dinner in the evening, the whole family went out to set off firecrackers together.

Xiao Feng put a gypsophila on the ground, handed Lu Lingxi a cigarette, and said, "Be careful, light it and run."

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

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

Dahei also yelled in cooperation, Xiao Wanwan ran around him excitedly, Lu Lingxi smiled a little shyly, and carefully lit the starry sky while probing the smoke. With a sound of "bang", the stars exploded in the sky, and countless light spots lit up in the starry sky, shining like stars.

Lu Lingxi raised her head and was watching, when she heard a loud noise in her ears.He didn't take it seriously at first, just thinking that someone lit the firecrackers.Unexpectedly, loud noises sounded one after another, Xiao Hong said loudly: "It's Chunlei. This year, Chunlei came early enough."

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

Xiao Hong laughed, "It won't rain, it's Qianlei. It's just the beginning of spring, where is the rain coming from?"

While the two were talking, the white panel suddenly floated out.Lu Lingxi froze for a moment, then lowered her head to look at the panel.A blue river appeared on the panel, as if something was split, the river that had been fixed all along began to flow slowly, as if it really existed in front of Lu Lingxi.

"Purification of the primary river is completed, and rewards plant heart +100, power of nature +1."

Junior River?Lu Lingxi immediately thought of Lingshui River.He looked at the wavy picture of flowing blue water with a little curiosity, and poked it lightly with his hand.The cold touch made Lu Lingxi shudder, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, and poked again curiously.

It's not his illusion, he seems 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 aroused, and she wished she could go to Lingshui River immediately to see what was going on.

Lingshui Village

Today is the annual New Year's Eve, and the village chief Li Dalei began to think about the fireworks at night after eating the dumplings.This year the financial situation of the village is good, and there is a little money left at the end of the year.Li Dalei consulted several village committees, and the village simply paid people to set off fireworks for half an hour on the night of New Year's Eve.You don't have to pay for it yourself, and you can see the fireworks. The villagers praised Li Dalei for doing a good job.

Originally, Li Dalei wanted to finish the work earlier, but the villagers clamored to disagree.Why don't you wait until the dumplings are made and eaten before setting them off, otherwise everyone is busy making dumplings, who will show the fireworks?Li Dalei had no choice but to set the time at nine o'clock.Anyway, on the night of New Year's Eve, the villagers all went to bed late, and they were not afraid of affecting anyone.

"Ahem." Li Dalei turned on the radio at home and spoke in a dialect.

"Villagers, villagers, the fireworks will officially start at [-] o'clock in the evening. The place where the fireworks will be set off is by the river. Anyone who wants to go can go and see it. Be careful. Parents with dolls pay attention, no one is allowed Keep the dolls near the river."

"Repeat, villagers..."

As soon as the broadcast was over, some children in the village clamored to go to the river to watch it.Some parents are too lazy to go out, "You can see it when you stand in the yard, go to the river to do something." The child refused, and would roll on the ground wearing new clothes.The parents felt sorry for the new clothes, so they quickly grabbed the little kid. "Look, let's go see it now." There were quite a few children making noise like this, and after a while, the river was surrounded by adults and children running around.

Uncle Li and Aunt Li were also wrapped up thickly and stood by the river waiting to watch.Uncle Li muttered in a low voice, "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 the fireworks? It's for the excitement."

While the old couple was bickering, the salute gun standing by the river had sprayed out colorful flames, turning into the shape of flowers in the air.Peonies, chrysanthemums, phoenixes, and baby's breath, the villagers are so dazzled to see them that they don't even blink.Just when everyone was attracted by the fireworks, a loud noise suddenly exploded in the sky.

"Chunlei?" Uncle Li looked surprised, just about to say that this year's spring thunder came early enough, when there was a faint clicking sound behind him.He hurriedly turned his head 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. Be careful if you have a baby at home." Uncle Li raised his voice and shouted.

The surrounding villagers heard it, and subconsciously turned around and looked over.On the Lingshui River, the originally black ice layer cracked one by one and fell into the river one after another.There was a rushing sound of water, and the ice layer was quickly washed down, revealing the sparkling silver water surface.Under the moonlight, the Lingshui River shone like stars, and the occasional splashes of water were transparent and clear, completely free of the previous pollution.

Uncle Li walked a few steps to the river, and was pleasantly surprised to see that the river had returned to the time when there was no pollution before, and it was even cleaner than before.Silver water splashes stirred, green water plants stretched and swayed with the water flow, and a stream of fresh water vapor surrounded him.

Uncle Li took a deep breath, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to stir the river twice.The cold river water made him shiver, but Uncle Li laughed happily.He had heard from Xiaoxiwawa that they had taken over the Lingshui River purification project.Although I don't know when Xiaoxi made it, but Uncle Li firmly believes that the clear water of the river is due to Xiaoxi, a baby.

"What's going on?" Someone asked blankly.

"What else can happen." Uncle Li explained: "The pollution is gone, and the government has spent money to clean it up."

"When was it governed?"

"You don't care when." The other person next to him replied impatiently, "It's fine if it's dealt with."

"Look at how clear the water is. There should be fish in summer, right?"

"Almost, waterfowl should fly back this year."

The attention of the villagers of Lingshui Village was quickly attracted by the purified Lingshui River. They hadn't seen such clear water for several years.Before the plastic factory in Songjiazhuang was not polluted, although the river water was not as smelly as polluted, but everyone didn't pay much attention to protection, and it was common to throw plastic bags and drink bottles.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 in Lingshui Village were all frightened, fearing that they would also be poisoned in a daze.

"Let me tell you something." Li Dalei squeezed in front of the crowd and said loudly: "Everyone has also seen that the government paid us to clean up the Lingshui River. Let's not talk about the past, and we can't be like before. Also don't take environmental protection seriously. From tomorrow, no one is allowed to throw plastic bags, drink bottles, etc. into the river, and dirty water from home is not allowed to be poured into the river. Anyone who violates the law will be fined The money will be fined [-] at a time, and the money will be used to hire people to set off fireworks at the end of the year."

At the beginning, some people were dissatisfied with the fine and were 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 tease people were blocked, and the villagers laughed one after another.

"The village chief's idea is good. The old man, I come to stroll by the river every day when I have nothing to do. If anyone dares to litter, the old man will watch over me." Uncle Xu shouted angrily.

Uncle Xu has a high seniority in the village. He said so, so he must be serious.No one planned to spend 50 yuan to test Uncle Xu's temper, and everyone followed suit to express their opinion 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 with little dolls at home should pay attention, don't let the little dolls run to the river by themselves, in case something happens, it will be too late to regret it.

The villagers were discussing noisyly, and the people who set off the fireworks couldn't wait. "It's almost ten o'clock, if you don't let me go, I'll go back."

"Let it go, let it go now." Li Dalei hurriedly handed over a pack of cigarettes, and agreed that it would be over at 09:30. They have been waiting for them, and they can't let them suffer.

Lu Lingxi knew what happened in Lingshui Village the next day.On the morning of the first day of the new year, he called Uncle Li to pay New Year's greetings, and 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 at it early in the morning.After a night of scouring, the black ice layer is no longer visible.The clear water meanders down from the upper reaches, splashing a few small waves from time to time.

Uncle Li was happy, "Xiao Xi, you guys have done a good deed, a good deed."

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

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

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