Chapter 38: The Only Factory in the Village
The parents of the children who wanted to come to Chen Feng to settle accounts suddenly fell silent, and a man in his forties asked Qiao Xi: "Secretary Qiao, are you sure that Chen Feng will cook food for my children out of his own pocket?" ”
"Is this still fake?" Qiao Xi smiled, "When I asked your children to come to class, I already told you that the children's meal fee every day is three yuan, and the big pot of rice for three yuan is steamed bread and green vegetables." But what your children eat at school, I think you will also ask at home, there is no shortage of meat and fruit at every meal. Where did the money come from, you should know by now! ”
The sound of talking outside the classroom attracted the attention of Chen Feng inside, who put down the chalk on the blackboard to write the text, and hurriedly walked out.
When he saw these parents, he lowered his head slightly, and his expression became nervous, "I'm really sorry, I actually don't know why the child has diarrhea." But I definitely didn't drug my kids' meals, and I wouldn't do such a bastard thing. ”
He had always felt ashamed of the people in the village, and his inferiority complex poured out again.
Qiao Xi went over and asked, "Chen Feng, then you tell everyone why you didn't have diarrhea?" Only the child has diarrhea? ”
Chen Feng hurriedly said: "Secretary Qiao, what I eat is different from the children's, maybe it's really because the vegetables I bought are not fresh, which caused them to have diarrhea." ”
"What are you eating?" Qiao Xi continued to ask.
Chen Feng hesitated for a while, led everyone to the classroom, pointed to the cakes and pickles on the podium, lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm eating this." ”
A large lump of blackened pickle gnocchi, and a few bites of dry cornmeal tortillas, and a lot of cake crumbs fell from the table.
Qiao Xi stepped onto the podium, broke a small piece of cake and put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, his brows couldn't help but tighten a few times, he was very choked and didn't taste at all.
She raised her head, "Chen Feng, tell me, why do you eat meat and vegetables for the children, but you have to eat these?" The salary I set for you with the old village chief at that time was 2,000 yuan, and I was planning to save the money to marry a daughter-in-law? ”
"Where did you think so much?" Chen Feng raised his head and showed a sincere gaze, "I try to buy some delicious food for the children when they are still growing up, although my salary is not much, but I am happy to see the children can eat white flour steamed buns." ”
Parents looked at Chen Feng's eyes at the moment, and they were all speechless, they used to wonder how their children ate so well at school, but now they finally figured out that Chen Feng paid for the children to buy meat to eat.
Such a person, how could he drug a child's meal.
Qiao Xi said to Chen Feng: "Take us to the cafeteria, the cause of the child's diarrhea must be found, and the same thing will happen in the future." ”
Everyone followed Chen Feng into the cafeteria, a small room, with bundles of firewood neatly placed under the stove, on top of which were cutting boards and a little green onion, garlic and so on.
"I'm afraid that the food will not be fresh, so I go out every morning to buy vegetables and meat, and eat the dishes of the day on the same day." Chen Feng removed the lid from the cauldron, the inside was clean, and there was no sanitary problem in the whole kitchen.
The child's collective diarrhea is also a place where he is puzzled.
Qiao Xi stepped aside and opened the lid of the water tank, and then he was stunned for a moment, following the sunlight spilling in outside, and a layer of colorful oil flowers floated on the water inside.
She turned on the tap water, and the water flowed down in a loud stream, and she picked up the ladle and filled it with some water, all of which were covered with a layer of oil splashes.
She poured the water from the ladle back into the water tank, walked over to Chen Feng and asked, "What kind of water do children drink at school?" ”
After explaining to the parents, Chen Feng turned his head, "I always boil water for them to drink, but children love to drink raw water, especially after they are tired from playing ball in physical education class, they usually drink tap water." ”
"Did you drink raw water yesterday?" Qiao Xi's expression became more and more serious, and she felt that she had found the cause of the problem.
Just as she thought, Chen Feng shook his head embarrassedly and said: "My stomach is never too good, I don't dare to drink raw water, otherwise I will have diarrhea." ”
Speaking of this, everyone, including Chen Feng, looked towards Qiao Xi, "Secretary Qiao, is it because the child drank raw water?" ”
Qiao Xi led everyone to the water tank, turned on the tap water, and the oil splashes in it suddenly came out, and under everyone's noses, a black liquid flowed out of the tap water.
The drink is originally raw water, and with the dirty stuff of these oil flowers, it is strange that the child does not have diarrhea.
The tap water in Xiaoquanzi Village is the groundwater of the village, and a water tower was built in the village to store the water, which was originally sweet, but the environmental damage has been serious over the years, and the groundwater has changed its taste.
Qiao Xi was silent for a while, filled some water with a water scoop, and tasted a little bit, it was the taste of industry.
The only factory in the village is the plastic factory of Zhang Shouye's son Zhang Liang!
Qiao Xi's brows furrowed, this is her heart disease that she has always come to, if Xiaoquanzi Village wants to take tourism in the future, this factory must be shut down.
It's now polluting the water!
Everyone already understood that the child's diarrhea had nothing to do with Chen Feng, and they also understood that Chen Feng's good intentions for their children were a little ashamed. Xiaobao's father thought about it and patted Chen Feng's shoulder hard, "Chen Feng, my Xiaobao will not be discharged from the hospital until tomorrow, and his mother is still with him in the hospital." You and I go home tonight, and our brothers will get drunk and rest. ”
"And me!" Another man shouted, and then added, "I have freshly brewed liquor at home, and then go and ...... peanuts."
The parents of each child followed suit, and they all had to accompany Chen Feng to get drunk and rest.
They don't know how to express their inner gratitude, and that faint sense of shame.
Chen Feng smiled and readily agreed, "Okay, as long as everyone doesn't dislike me, I'll drink with everyone." ”
How many years of knots seem to have been untied at this moment, Chen Feng smiled and smiled, his eyes moistened, he was once again recognized by everyone, since he fell off the list in college, he waited for I don't know how many years.
"Secretary Qiao, I also came to my house at night, my Xiaobao was sent to the hospital thanks to you, and I thank you." Xiaobao's father shouted with a smile.
"No, I'm not going, I still want to sleep more at home, but I don't want to see you all drinking crookedly." Qiao Xi excused himself.
The crowd didn't insist too much, they left the school one after another, and in the afternoon they had to be busy with farm work.
There were only two people left in the school, Qiao Xi and Chen Feng, Chen Feng walked out of the cafeteria, hesitated and asked Qiao Xi, who was about to walk out of the school gate: "Secretary Qiao, do you think that the source of polluted water is Zhang Liang's plastic factory?" ”
Qiao Xi turned his head, "You think so too." ”
Chen Feng sighed and walked over, "In fact, Zhang Liang's plastic factory has paid a lot of money to the village over the years, and this factory also uses more than a dozen people in the village to work, which is equivalent to feeding more than a dozen families......"
Before he finished his words, Qiao Xi had already made a categorical statement: "These are not reasons to destroy the environment, and the gold and silver mountains in Xiaoquanzi Village cannot be destroyed because of a plastic factory!" ”
"I know that, too, but what can be done? After all, there is still the face of the old village chief there...... "Chen Feng felt that this matter was a bit of a headache, Zhang Liang was generous, who had something in the village, as long as he could help, he never said a word, he was still Zhang Shouye's son, this matter was extremely tricky to deal with, and if he didn't make trouble, he would turn his face.
"I see what you mean." Qiao Xi waved his hand, "I'll deal with this matter, you just take care of the school, the children will come back to class tomorrow, you must remember to let them drink hot water." ”
Qiao Xi walked to Zhang Liang's plastic factory, which was built in a factory in the west of the village, which was actually a three-room house, and Zhang Liang's van was parked at the door.
When she entered the factory, she smelled a pungent smell of plastic, several laminators were steaming, and the people working inside were busy wearing masks.
This plastic factory makes shoe soles, melts the purchased plastic in a large furnace, and presses it into a blank of the sole with an assembly line machine, and then someone repairs and trims the scissors and packages it, and then it can be shipped to major shoe factories.
The entire plastic factory was emitting black smoke, and Qiao Xi looked over, and there was a sewer in the corner of the wall, and all the dirty water that flowed out of the machine flowed into it.
It's close to the water tower, and the dirty water ends up in the tower, where it is filtered and flows into the tap water of every house.
