Chapter 90 Moved to Tears

ot into Xiao Jingyu's car. 。Xiao Jingyu's driver, Huang Jianfang, had surgery for hemorrhoids earlier and took some time to rest. He has now recovered and is able to work normally. 。After Xiao Jingyu'...Xiao Jingyu saw that Xiao Zheng's house was an ordinary two-story building, no different from other people's houses. The exterior walls were covered in yellow and white dust, and the doors and windows were tightly shut. 。If it weren't for the yellow light spilling from the windows, you'd hardly believe that someone lived inside. 。"My home has arrived"

Xiao Zheng got out of the Audi and helped Xiao Jingyu open the back door. 。Li Haiyan also came out of the passenger seat. She found that Xiao Shujing's Audi car had been covered in dust within just a few minutes of entering Green Water Village. It could be seen how bad the air quality in the village was

It should have been hearing the sound of the car outside, Fei Qingmei and Xiao Rongrong pushed the door out to greet Xiao Zheng and them "Come on in, come on in!"

"Uncle! Aunt!" Li Haiyan greeted Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei, and introduced, "This is our county. Committee member Xiao Shujing" 。Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei were taken aback. They hadn't expected the county party secretary to suddenly visit their humble abode. 。Xiao Zheng called, just saying that two friends were coming over for dinner. 。They thought he was just an ordinary friend, but unexpectedly, he was the county party secretary!

Could their son now be friends with the county party secretary Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei immediately greeted warmly: "Secretary Xiao, come in quickly and sit down. It's very dusty outside." 。"Xiao Jingyu nodded and said, “Thank you.” 。"Entering the house, Xiao Jingyu took a look around at the ordinary dwelling." 。Although the village is covered in dust, as if it snows everywhere, the house is still quite clean. There is no dust on the tables, chairs, simple furniture, or stovetop. The floor has been washed and a ceiling fan hangs above, giving it the feeling of a paradise. Even though the air still has a slight dusty taste, it's much better than outside. 。It can be seen that Xiao Zheng's family are all clean-loving people, and they have also made preparations for their arrival today. 。Xiao Jingyu felt a good impression of people who could live an orderly and clean life even in harsh environments. 。She thought, although Xiao Zheng's family background wasn't good, their healthy lifestyle must have provided him with a lot of nourishment, allowing him to get into a key university and become a civil servant. 。A child from an ordinary family who can enter the system is greatly related to their family style and living habits. 。Xiao Jingyu couldn't help but smile slightly: "The room is pretty clean." 。"Come in, have some tea," Fei Qingmei said. 。A mahogany table inlaid with marble, already had a large teapot of blue-and-white porcelain brewing tea on it, and six teacups sat beside it. 。Li Haiyan asked Xiao Jingyu to take the head seat and poured him a cup of tea. She also poured tea for the others. Fei Qingmei hurriedly said, "I'll do it, I'll do it." 。"Li Haiyan refused and said, “Uncle and aunt, you sit" 。“Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei felt more and more that Li Haiyan was a truly honest girl, truly polite.” 。Xiao Jingyu took a sip of tea. It was obviously coarse tea, but it still quenched his thirst very well. 。After Xiao Jingyu arrived at the village, he felt uncomfortable in his mouth and nose. After taking a sip of hot tea, he felt a little better and asked, "Do all the people here live like this Keeping their doors and windows closed all day"

Xiao Rongrong replied, "These doors and windows can't be opened. If they are opened, the outside lime will come in." 。"Fee Qingmei said, 'We don't even dare to take our washed clothes and pants outside to dry now. Otherwise, when we bring them in, a pound of lime dust will fall off.'" 。“Xiao Jingyu frowned: “Such an environment, how is it suitable for people to live in” Xiao Rongrong said: “Who wants to live here It’s not for mining, everyone can make some money!”Xiao Jingyu asked: “How much money do you make” Xiao Rongrong said: “The most profitable are the mine owners and cement factory owners. Ordinary workers like us can earn one thousand to three hundred a month! It’s better than earning seven or eight hundred outside, and the expenses are less.” 。But the people in our village are more prone to illness. 。Out of every ten people like me who have contracted pneumoconiosis, six or seven will suffer. Some even develop more serious illnesses, and they end up spending all their earnings on medical expenses. 。Xiao Jingyu's heart was moved. She turned to Xiao Zheng: "I want to go to other farmers' homes." 。Seeing the state of this village and after hearing introductions from Xiao Zheng's parents, Xiao Jingyu had already decided to temporarily carry out a visit and survey. 。Xiao Zheng then asked Fei Qingmei, "Mom, is dinner ready Let's eat first, and then I'll accompany Xiao Shujì for a walk." 。"Fei Qingmei immediately said, "It's already done."> 。Here you go right now. 。" Fei Qingmei and Xiao Rongrong went to fetch the dishes, Li Haiyan helped set the bowls and chopsticks. " 。Xiao Jingyu grew up in the provincial capital. Her understanding of rural life came secondhand, from what others had told her. 。Xiao Zheng's tableware, both bowls and chopsticks, are the most ordinary kind. They don't look very well-made and lack sophistication. The only good thing is that they are clean. 。Xiao Jingyu's first dinner at a farmer's house gave the Xiao Zheng family... 。When Xiao Zheng called, it was already late, but Fei Qingmei still went to the vegetable vendor in the village and bought some vegetables. She cooked several home-cooked dishes, including bamboo shoot stewed chicken, pan-fried stream fish, and mushroom embroidered flowers. 。Because Xiao Zheng was driving, he didn't drink alcohol. Xiao Jingyu also refrained from drinking, so everyone drank tea instead of alcohol. 。Maybe it was because dinner was a little late, Xiao Jingyu was also hungry and ate very deliciously. He finished a bowl and a half of rice and praised: "Xiao Zheng, the food at your house is so delicious." 。"Fei Qingmei then said, “If it’s delicious, I’ll come here often." 。Now that we have a mine in our village, these vegetables are all wholesaled by peddlers from outside. In the past, the homegrown vegetables in our village were much tastier. 。。We've all been through times of hardship when we had no money. Poverty is the worst, even worse than it is now. 。So if we have no money, we are unwilling to go back. But if we have some income, even if it's a little worse than now, being able to return to the days when the mountains were good and the water was good, that would naturally be better. 。"I agree." 。Many people in Murakami are getting sick now, it's because of the environment. 。

What people fear more than getting sick is falling back into poverty.

Poverty and illness weigh heavily on the villagers, like a mountain on their heads. 。But if it were up to the villagers, they would rather be sick than poor. 。Xiaoning feels that Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei are telling the truth. 。After dinner, without even waiting for another cup of tea, Xiao Jingyu said, "Xiao Zheng, take me for a walk." 。Xiao Zheng carried a pack of cigarettes and walked out with Xiao Jingyu and Li Haiyan. 。Xiao Rongrong's body had just recovered and she hadn't gone out, but Fei Qingmei chased after her: "I'll take you guys there. After Xiao Zheng went to university, he came back less often, and I'm afraid he's become a bit estranged from the villagers." 。"Xiao Jingyu said, "You've worked hard" 。Fei Qingmei took Xiao Jingyu, Xiao Zheng, and Li Haiyan door to door, every household Fei Qingmei would first greet them, make introductions, Xiao Zheng would offer cigarettes to men, trying to get close to them, then the topic would open up. 。Xiao Jingyu clearly felt that Fei Qingmei had a good relationship in the village, with neighbors being both polite and casual. 。Although Xiao Zheng had studied at university and worked in town after graduation, he effortlessly used terms like "brother," "sister-in-law," "uncle," "sir," and "auntie" when interacting with villagers. Villagers were also very polite to Xiao Zheng, praising him for his success, saying things like, "You've made something of yourself," "You're eating the nation's food," or "You're now a town leader, your future is limitless." 。But Xiao Zheng was also courteous, without any airs of a deputy town chief. He said, “No matter what I am called, in front of you, I’m still the little Zheng from before!”

The villagers grinned happily: “I want to hear that!” 。"Qingmei, your family must have done a good job raising you to be such a fine young woman!"

Xiao Jingyu had asked Fei Qingmei to keep her identity a secret beforehand, so everyone was unaware that Xiao Jingyu was an official. Seeing her and Li Haiyan, both young and beautiful, they assumed she was a colleague from Xiao Zheng Town or a university friend. 。Another man jokingly said to Xiao Zheng, "Xiao Zheng, out of these two young ladies, which one is your girlfriend" At this question, both Xiao Jingyu and Li Haiyan blushed. 。Xiao Zheng joked, “You two are both…” 。"Fei Qingmei twisted Xiao Zheng's arm hard: "What nonsense are you talking about, you little monkey! No, don't misunderstand, these two are Xiao Zheng's leaders" 。"Li Haiyan works in the county, so it makes sense to say that Xiao Zheng is her superior." 。But the villagers also had their mischievous side, saying: "Must be the leader of the household, right" Fei Qingmei retorted, "You're all being unserious, let's go, let's go." 。Let's go somewhere else. 。"

All in jest, but also finding humor in hardship" 。Xiao Jingyu has learned that the villagers' living environment is roughly the same, summed up in one sentence, it is very harsh. There are indeed many cases of getting sick and falling back into poverty due to pollution. 。While mining has brought some income to villagers, it has also sent many of them to their graves from cancer. Those who haven't developed health problems yet actually carry a huge hidden danger within their bodies. 。After finishing the visit, Xiao Jingyu was deep in thought. He didn't want to bother Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei who were resting, so he told Xiao Zheng, "Let's go back." 。Xiao Zheng bid farewell to his parents and, getting back into his Audi, drove Xiao Jingyu back to the county. 。As soon as they left, Xiao Rongrong half-leaned in the wicker chair and asked Fei Qingmei: "Wife, which of those two girls do you think would be more suitable to be our Xiao Zheng's wife" Fei Qingmei was startled: "What nonsense are you talking about Xiao Zheng's girlfriend is Chen Hong. You're full of hot air, talking gibberish!" Xiao Rongrong smiled and said: "I mean, our Xiao Zheng doesn't necessarily have to hang himself on one tree. There are many excellent girls, and those two just now are not bad." 。Fei Qingmei retorted, "A toad can't dream of eating swan meat." 。That Xiao Shuji, is the county Party secretary. 。"Do you want our children to marry the county party secretary" Xiao Rongrong said, "Between men and women, as long as they love each other and cherish each other, that's enough." 。I think our Xiao Zheng is very outstanding, and he might even become the County Party Secretary in the future! Fei Qingmei said: "Our Xiao Zheng is indeed excellent, but what about Chen Hong She's a good girl too." 。"Xiao Rongrong said: 'Chen Hong is good, but her parents are not. Her mother went to the hospital just so we couldn't live with our son and daughter-in-law, forcing us to move back to the countryside.'" 。I always feel uneasy inside. 。Fee Qingmei said: "Alright, say less." 。"Xiao Zheng sent Xiao Jingyu to the county town, and was about to go to Anxian International Hotel when Xiao Jingyu suddenly said, "Go to the County Committee." 。Upon arriving at the county committee, Li Haiyan told Xiao Zheng, "Xiao Commissioner, you should go back." 。Because Xiao Jingyu had previously told Li Haiyan that Xiao Zheng was a deputy at the township level and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to go in and out of the county Party secretary's office, she wanted Xiao Zheng to go back first. 。Unexpectedly, Xiao Jingyu said: "Xiao Commissioner, you park your car here and come up with me. Let's discuss things in my office." 。 hospitalized at the city center hospital, and we will conduct further in-depth analysis and examinations. 。Or, you could choose to go to a major hospital in Hangzhou or Zhonghai to see a relevant sp...
