Late at night, the neighbors gradually dispersed, and the family tidied up the yard, then boiled water in a large pot and began to prepare for washing. Li leisurely took a wooden barrel hot bath, went back to the house and lay on the bed.

There was a thick layer of straw under the mattress, and the familiar smell of straw was pleasant, and he soon fell asleep. At that moment, the door was pushed open, and a dark shadow entered.

"Brother Ranzi, Brother Ranzi, have you slept?" Li Fangcheng's voice.

"You boy, night owl, don't go to sleep." Li Youran beat his spirits and turned on the small lamp at the head of the bed.

"I didn't sleep, that's good. Hehe. Li Fangcheng grinned and sat on the bed, holding the newly bought mobile phone in his hand.

"Brother Ranzi, you teach me how to play." Chapter Eighty-Four: Country Life

This kid, the second uncle is right, the playfulness is really big enough, and I will find a chance to talk to him in the future.

"You're so good at playing, why can't you even use your phone?" Li leisurely glanced at him reproachfully.

"Hehe, Brother Ranzi, where have I ever played with this thing, only a few people in the village have bought mobile phones, and it is still the simplest, how can there be this high-end." Brother Ranzi, teach me. Li Fangcheng begged.

Li Youran sat up helplessly, took the mobile phone, gave his younger brother a general explanation of the Android system, and demonstrated the basic touch operation.

Li Fangcheng is still very clever, and he quickly learned like him, and he also clicked on the game "Plants vs. Zombies" and played with a smile.

"Fang Cheng, what are you doing in Ranzi's house, and you don't let Ranzi sleep?" The second uncle's shout came from outside.

"Brother Ranzi, I'm out, you can sleep well. Hehe. Li Fangcheng grabbed his mobile phone and hurriedly ran out of the door.

"This kid, it seems that he still has to find a way to find something for him to do, so as to save the second uncle from worrying." Li Youran thought as he turned off the bedside lamp and fell on the pillow.

The pillow with buckwheat husk core Chapter 84 Country Life made a slight pleasant grinding sound, and drowsiness swept over him, and he quickly fell asleep.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Early the next morning, Li Youran opened his eyes and looked at his mobile phone, it was already past seven o'clock.

Rural people have been working in the fields for a long time at this time, otherwise they will be ridiculed as lazy people. It seems that the life of the city has been thorough

At the end of the day, he thought with emotion.

Get dressed and get up, wash up. Li Youran took the iron bucket and flat pole from the water tank in the kitchen, ignoring the second aunt's obstruction,

Come to the old well next to the old willow tree on the east side of the house to fetch water.

At this time, there were already many people standing by the well, all holding the guy who was fetching water. Seeing Li leisurely coming over, they greeted each other.

Li Youran also smiled and responded one by one.

"Yo, isn't this Ranzi? Just heard in the morning that you're back. A sturdy young man in his thirties, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a red face, said to him.

Li leisurely looked at it and knew that this was Li Lianzhu, who lived in the south of the village, and often took himself to Xiaoqing River to catch fish when he was a child.

The two chatted a few words while waiting to carry water, and Li Youran asked about the current situation of the chain, and the chaining pillar told him that now many young people in the village are going out to work, and they can't leave by themselves, because there is a sick old lady at home.

Li Youran comforted him a few words, and then asked:

"Brother Lianzhu, you live in the south of the village, why did you come here to fetch water?"

"Besides, this is not to make the current Xiaoqinghe trouble, the well water over there can't be drunk, and it smells weird." Speaking of this, Li Lianzhu looked angry.

Li Youran was very surprised, and hurriedly asked the reason for the incident.

Li Lianzhu told him that a township-run paper mill had been built in Erlong Township, just upstream of the Xiaoqing River. Since the factory was built, the Xiaoqing River has ended, and the Qinghe River has become a stinky river, not only that, but after a long time, even the well water near the river has become sour.

"How long ago was this, and no one cares?" Li Youran remembered the scene he saw when he came, and couldn't help but sink his face.

"It's been about a year and a half. Who cares, the officials don't live in our village. Forget it, don't mention this troublesome thing. It's our turn, fetch water. ”

Li Shunzhu shook his head and ended the topic. He walked to the well, shook the wheel, and soon a bucket of water was lifted out of the well.

"Ranzi, you take it first." Li Zhuzhu greeted.

Li Youran also put down the matter of Xiaoqinghe for the time being, and he was not polite to the tethered pillar, so he put the two iron buckets by the well and asked the latter to pour water into them.

"Ranzi, you're already from the city, can you still do this job?" Li Quanzhu quipped.

"Brother Lianzhu, don't underestimate me, I am exercising every day now, I don't believe we can break a wrist and try it, I will let you have one hand." Li said with a smile.

"You kid, you've learned to brag." Li Lianzhu obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't seem to have the heart to verify it at present.

Li Youran carried the water home, very relaxed, this amount is really a piece of cake for him now.

After he poured the water into the tank, the second uncle and Fang Cheng came back from working in the fields, and the second aunt also prepared breakfast.

On the table, there are millet porridge, bacon slices, pickled dried radish, and the most appetizing are two plates of acacia cake.

The method is to gently pluck the acacia flowers from the branches, soak them in clean water overnight and drain them, pound them into a sauce with a stone bowl, and put white sugar and honey to become a sweet acacia flower sauce.

Soak the glutinous rice overnight, soak the rice for half an hour and then mix it in a pot and steam, steam until the rice is slightly fixed, then put in the seedless jujube, and then steam it until it is seven ripe, spread it with locust flower sauce on top and continue to steam for a few minutes. The fragrant and sweet acacia cake is freshly baked.

Li Youran's gluttonous worm also crawled out, and he stretched out his hand to grab it.

"Wash your hands." The second aunt slapped his paw with chopsticks.

Li Youran was helpless, so he had to act according to his words.

The four of them sat around and enjoyed a hearty breakfast, and Li Youran ate a few pieces of acacia cake in a row, and his mouth was delicious. The second aunt's eyes narrowed with laughter.

After eating breakfast, Li Youran remembered the matter of Xiaoqinghe and asked the second uncle what was going on.

The second uncle sighed, sat on a chair in the courtyard, and told him the ins and outs of the matter, and Li Fangcheng also added on the side.

Since the construction of the paper mill in the upper reaches of the Xiaoqing River, sewage has been continuously discharged into the river, and the villages downstream have suffered. The water in the river is not enough to drink, not even to water the crops. At present, Lijiagou Village can only be sustained by a small reservoir and well water in the north of the village.

"Since the factory is being built, why not install sewage treatment equipment?" Li Youran had a layer of anger on his face.

"Sewage treatment equipment? That thing doesn't need money, how can those eight calves be willing to spend it? The second uncle also said indignantly.

"Didn't anyone go up there to react?" Li Youran continued to ask.

"Yes, why not, the county has also come to check. The paper mill has a way, and when the inspection team came, they closed the valve, and then invited the guests to send red envelopes, and after sending the people away, they continued to greet them. ”

"Yes, I heard that the relationship between the paper mill is not shallow, it was opened by the township chief's brother-in-law, and the township chief still has a lot of shares." Li Fangcheng also interjected.

"Fang Cheng, don't talk nonsense." The second aunt glared at Li Fangcheng dissatisfied.

"Ranzi, Fang Cheng, I heard that there are already a few young people in the village who are restless, don't follow to cause trouble, we are a small family, we can't afford to toss." The second aunt warned, a sad look on her face!!
