One

Lan Xiaohua and Zhang Jiayong have met a few times, although they talk very speculatively every time, but Lan Xiaohua thinks that when they are together, they always feel that they are polite to each other, not like lovers, but like friends.

Lan Xiaohua knows that Zhang Jiayong seems to like her a lot, every time Lan Xiaohua is with Zhang Jiayong, she sees Zhang Jiayong's eyes looking at her, and she is also full of love, but Zhang Jiayong is a bit too gentlemanly, when they are together, they don't touch Lan Xiaohua easily, Lan Xiaohua doesn't know what Zhang Jiayong thinks in his heart? Is it instinctively shy? Or is it something else? He is a big man, shouldn't he? Don't you like her? But every time he comes as he says, he doesn't show hesitation.

Lan Xiaohua and Zhang Jiayong are together, they are very down-to-earth, they have endless topics, they have a lot of common language, and there is a caring man next to the woman, and it feels different.

It seems that it will have to be dealt with further.

The holiday is about to pass, the school is about to start, you have to hurry, as soon as the school opens, there will be more all kinds of things, and it will be inconvenient to meet Zhang Jiayong again.

Lan Xiaohua is in the provincial capital and has been living alone for twenty years.

The conditions of the blue flower are still good, the figure is good, the appearance is good, both plump and slender, the skin is white and tight, the personality is gentle, kind, the economic conditions are also passable, when I first came to the provincial capital, because it is the state to transfer the side of the teacher, enjoy the treatment of the national branch teacher, assigned a special teacher dormitory, later, after the formal transfer procedures, and in the center of the provincial city on the edge of the Tang Lai Canal, at a relatively low price to buy a limited price house, this house, the school also gave subsidies, plus the state to give the branch teacher subsidy, calculated, there is no blue flower how much。

Lan Xiaohua has only one daughter, the daughter is very sensible, very self-reliant, when she went to college, she studied instrumental music, in school, she worked part-time, went out to teach her children to learn piano, earned her own tuition, and did not want her mother to pay for tuition, after graduating from college, in Tianjin, she opened an art school, and by her own efforts, she bought a small house for herself in Tianjin, and now, this small house is worth a lot of money. Later, Lan Xiaohua's daughter found a male classmate from Guangzhou in her school and got married. When she got married, she didn't ask Lan Xiaohua for much money, and after Lan Xiaohua's daughter got married, she went to Guangzhou with her husband and opened an art school. Now business is booming, from time to time, but also to Lan Xiaohua filial piety, granddaughter is just one year old, is the daughter's parents-in-law in Guangzhou, do not have to worry about Lan Xiaohua, Lan Xiaohua just when her daughter was confined, went to Guangzhou for a few days.

For the convenience of work, Lan Xiaohua bought her own car and drove to and from work every day, every day.

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Lan Xiaohua has been living in the provincial capital for twenty years.

For 20 years, Lan Xiaohua has been living alone in the provincial capital, without relatives, friends, or friends.

Now, Lan Xiaohua also has a boyfriend, this Zhang Jiayong is very good, I have met a few times, and he is still honest, rare.

Thinking of Zhang Jiayong, Lan Xiaohua's heart was full of panic and heat.

couldn't help it, Lan Xiaohua still took the initiative to call Zhang Jiayong: "Hey, is it convenient for you this weekend?"

It was another Friday afternoon, and Lan Xiaohua ushered in Zhang Jiayong.

After dinner, Lan Xiaohua suggested going out with Zhang Jiayong.

Zhang Jiayong readily agreed.

Lan Xiaohua took Zhang Jiayong, went downstairs, went out, walked through Shanghai Road, and came to the edge of Tanglai Canal in the city.

Lan Xiaohua briefly introduced the history of Tang Laiqu to Zhang Jiayong.

Tang Lai Canal, through the provincial capital, the provincial city center is divided into two districts, Lan Xiaohua's home, just on the edge of Tang Lai Canal, high-rise buildings, overlooking down, Tang Lai Canal along the scenery in full view, walk across the bridge above Tang Lai Canal, opposite is Wanda Plaza, belongs to the quiet place, in summer, stroll on the side of Tang Lai Canal, enjoy the coolness brought by Tang Lai Canal water, not to mention how comfortable.

Tang Lai Canal is also known as Tang Canal, built in Tang Wu Zetian period, after the renovation of various generations, the mouth of the canal is opened next to the mouth of the Yellow River Gorge, flows north through the mouth of the Yellow River Gorge, the provincial capital, the county seat and other places, and terminates to the coal city of Lanshan County, with a total length of 322 kilometers, there are more than 500 large and small channels, 900,000 acres of irrigated fields, the widest part is more than 30 meters, the narrowest part is 5 meters, the average width is 24 meters, ranking the first of the 14 large canals in the North Plain.

This is the alluvial plain diversion of the Yellow River irrigation area, in the ancient dam water diversion conditions, gradually formed a multi-head system of canal system, each trunk canal and the Yellow River parallel arrangement, the irrigation area land is divided into north and south strips, resulting in directly from the main canal to open the bucket canal, agricultural canal mouth, irrigation is often easy to break. In the case of the Saishang area, due to the blockage of the canal, except for the westernmost west trunk canal, the other trunk canals can not safely retreat into the river, and when the river rises or rains rain, the canal water can only discharge into the lake ditch, which has caused the chaotic ditches, water accumulation in the depressions, and dense lakes and marshes in the middle and lower reaches of the Saishang Plain in history. Obviously, the higher terrain on both sides of the canal is caused by the sediment accumulation brought by irrigation and channel breaching, and between the two canals is a lake depression, which repeats regularly from west to east. This kind of lake and marsh is a secondary lake that appeared with the development of irrigation area, starting from the Han and Tang dynasties and reaching its peak after the early Qing Dynasty, which can be called a depression lake between canals.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there were 48 famous larger lakes such as Changhu Lake and Moon Lake in the vicinity of Fucheng (now the provincial capital) alone, and there were 72 lakes in the east and west of the river. "Lianhu Fishing Song" is one of the "Shuofang Eight Scenes" at that time, it is said that "on the east side of the Tang Canal, the water is a lake, and it is commonly connected with it, and it is called Lianhu Lake, also called Lianhu Lake." Between Shao Gang and Li Jun, the two forts are the largest, dozens of miles around the perimeter, there are many fish in the water depth without giving birth to leaves, the clear and a blue, the reflection of the mountain light, the distant trees are turned, there are light boats haunted in the smoke and waves from time to time, the passerby is Miao Ran moved the thoughts of the river township, and a good faction is plugged with the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. ”

In the feudal society, the maintenance of water conservancy is unfavorable, in the case of frequent natural disasters, in the event of heavy rain and flash floods, the flooding of the Yellow River or the breach of the channel, often "the water flows sideways, soaking into the acres, wild moths, there are no grass seedlings", and the lakes and marshes and fields converge into a vast ocean.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the construction of a relatively complete drainage ditch system, many shallow lakes and waterlogged depressions were drained, and the lake area dropped from about 790,000 mu to about 240,000 mu in 1958, and only 160,000 mu remained in 1981. The depth of the existing lakes has also been greatly reduced. In addition, the area of seasonal waterlogged depressions has decreased more than in the past, and the geographical landscape of the Saishang Plain has changed dramatically.

The Tanglai Canal flows 13 kilometers through the provincial urban area. In 2001, the provincial capital decided to carry out a comprehensive renovation and transformation of the Tanglai Qucheng section, which has a dirty and messy environment and potential water safety hazards. The government has determined that under the premise of ensuring the safety of agricultural irrigation and water supply, the existing space should be maximized for ecological and environmental landscape construction. The urban section is divided into three theme areas from south to north: "ancient, realistic and future". In the south, it is connected to the Baohu Wetland Ecological Park, with a sun square and a waterwheel landscape, highlighting the theme of ancient Chinese agricultural civilization. In the middle of the city, Nantang Lake Scenic Area, Laifeng Square, Ximen Bridge Cultural Square, and Qingyun Square are the main buildings, and in the north, the natural and open lawn, sports square, and sunshine square are used to show the future, so that this urban channel park integrates the characteristics of the south of the Yangtze River, the hometown of the nation, and the ancient capital of the west.

The local government invested 174 million yuan to carry out a comprehensive environmental renovation of Tanglai Canal for more than four years, and the people of the provincial capital worked diligently to make this Tanglai Canal, which has both the style of the south of the Yangtze River and full of ancient irrigation culture, into a "water-friendly, green-loving", people-oriented diversified living waters, which further highlights the charm and characteristics of the water town.

The Tanglai Qucheng section has become an ecological corridor with flowers in three seasons and evergreen in four seasons. Lush flowers and trees and pine lawns form a waterside park, which greatly increases the area of public green space in the city.

On both sides of the Tanglai Canal, a trail has been specially built, and the mileage is also marked on it, and there is a mark every 100 meters, and the citizens walk on the trail, look at the mark, and know how many meters they have walked.

After that, the Ministry of Construction held a grand commendation meeting in the Great Hall of the People, awarded the provincial capital Tanglai Canal Treatment Project as the "Best Habitat Model Award in China", and erected a monument on the side of the Tanglai Canal on Beijing Road.

Today's Tanglai Canal, has become an important landmark of the provincial capital, on both sides of the canal, green trees, fresh air, citizens can exercise on the fitness equipment all over the canal, every evening, young people play basketball here, dance aerobics, aunts dance square dance here, sailor dance, children play scooters here. The beautiful sound of music, accompanied by the laughter of children, shows the joyful atmosphere of warblers singing and dancing.

Zhang Jiayong walked on the Tang Lai Canal, the street lamps on the side of the canal, the Tang Lai Canal was decorated with colorful colors, Zhang Jiayong listened to the blue flower tell the history of the Tang Lai Canal, and reveled in the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Tang Lai Canal, unconsciously, it was already the middle of the night.

Just when the two of them were obsessed with the scenery of Tang Lai, it rained.

A heavy rainstorm came unexpectedly.

Lan Xiaohua didn't bring rain gear out, and she didn't expect it to rain so much, although the provincial city is called "plugging the south of the Yangtze River", there is not much rain in summer, and the people in the provincial town are not like the south, and they are ready to go out with rain gear at any time.

Zhang Jiayong and Lan Xiaohua braved the pouring rain and hurriedly ran back to Lan Xiaohua's home.

The two of them were all soaked, from the inside out, and let the rain pour into soup chicken.

Back at home, Lan Xiaohua didn't change her clothes immediately, but took out a pair of men's pajamas, a new set of towels and toiletries from the cabinet, handed them to Zhang Jiayong, motioned for him to go into the bathroom to take a bath, and then changed into pajamas, looking at Zhang Jiayong's hesitant eyes, Lan Xiaohua explained: "This set of pajamas, I bought it for you, and you will be ready to use it later, and I really used it today, what about cotton, the size should be appropriate, right?"

said, urging Zhang Jiayong, hurry up and put it on, otherwise you will catch a cold, looking at Zhang Jiayong's embarrassed appearance, Lan Xiaohua smiled: "Look at you, you are still so feudal." casually pushed Zhang Jiayong into the bathroom and closed the door.

The bathroom in Lan Xiaohua's house is very large, and the showers are all new, looking clean and tidy, and meticulous.

Zhang Jiayong took a bath, changed into pajamas and came out, Lan Xiaohua took Zhang Jiayong's wet clothes, took out all the things in Zhang Jiayong's clothes, and put the wet clothes in the balcony washing machine. Lan Xiaohua asked Zhang Jiayong to watch TV, and then dressed herself in wet clothes and went into the bathroom to wash.

Zhang Jiayong was wearing the pajamas that Lan Xiaohua bought for him, sitting on the sofa, thinking, his clothes are still wet, how will he go back to the hotel for a while?

Lan Xiaohua came out of the shower, also wearing pajamas, came out of the bathroom, went to the balcony while wiping her hair, washed the clothes of both of them, hung the washed clothes on the balcony, and then entered the big bedroom and began to make the bed.

Lan Xiaohua packed up the bed, spread two new quilts on the big double bed in the big bedroom, and then came out, snuggled up to Zhang Jiayong's side, and watched TV with Zhang Jiayong.

Zhang Jiayong didn't know what was playing on TV, he was fighting fiercely in his heart: Lan Xiaohua clearly wanted to keep him to live, to live or not to live?

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no intention of stopping at all, and there was still a strong wind, and the wind was sandwiched with rain, and the storm was raging, and the wind and rain were mixed.

Zhang Jiayong's heart also followed the wind and rain, and he was uneasy.
