Chapter 416: A cold is not as simple as a runny nose
Chapter 416 A cold is not as simple as a runny nose
Wang Lu glared and shouted, "Who is there?" Come out! ā
A voice sounded in the dark dining room: "Dad, it's me, Wang Bi'an." ā
Sure enough, it was Wang Bi'an's voice, Wang Lu breathed a sigh of relief, lowered the axe in his hand, and frowned: "What's the matter?" What are you doing in the restaurant at such a late hour? He was suddenly stunned, because after his eyes adjusted to the darkness in the restaurant, he faintly found that there was a figure beside Wang Bi'an.
Wang Lu became nervous again, holding the axe and said in a deep voice: "Wang Bi'an, who is next to you?" ā
"Uncle Wang, yes, it's me, Huang Qiong." The figure beside Wang Bi'an said timidly.
With a snap, Wang Lu turned on the lights in the restaurant, and the sudden light was very dazzling, Wang Bi'an narrowed his eyes, Huang Qiong raised his arm to block the light, and Wang Lu was dumbfounded.
In the restaurant, Wang Bi'an was standing there in a small vest and shorts, and Huang Qiong next to him was wearing pajamas and pajamas with small flowers, her feet were still bare, and she was standing upside down on the cold terrazzo floor.
Wang Lu couldn't cry or laugh: "What kind of fame are you two little guys doing?!" ā
Wang Bi'an said uneasily: "That, I'm here to see the eggs, the eggs have to be turned at night, Grandma Cui said, ah, that, in fact, I don't need to turn it, it's Huang Qiong's job, but I'm worried that Huang Qiong has overslept, so I'll help her turn it...... She's crying tonight, and I'm worried she's not going to sleep well. ā
Huang Qiong glared at Wang Bi'an, and said carefully: "What does it have to do with whether I cry or not and turn the eggs?" You're so long-winded. Didn't I delay turning the eggs? ā
Wang Bi'an said: "You're late, well, almost 10 minutes late." ā
Huang Qiong blushed: "Then what's the matter?" Anyway, the temperature in the incubator has not changed much, and it has only been 10 minutes, so it will definitely not affect the chicks. Wang Bi'an, you're really troublesome. ā
Wang Luyi raised his hand and interrupted the two children's bickering: "Okay, you, you, two people, hurry up and go back to my room and sleep!" ā
Wang Bian and Huang Qiong ran past Wang Lu with a straight face.
Wang Lu turned off the lights in the dining room, shook his head, and then went back to his room.
The next day, Wang Lu didn't sleep much, after getting up and going out, he went to the restaurant with everyone to have breakfast, and someone in the corridor greeted him from time to time, "Brother Wang", "Master Wang", "Uncle Wang" all the way, Wang Lu responded one by one, and the muscles on his face stiffened with a smile.
The breakfast was cooked by Aunt Cui and a group of women, which was sumptuous, preserved egg porridge, home-pickled pickles, pickled vegetable buns, and soy milk. The beans for grinding soy milk were just harvested from the field by Uncle Chen and everyone.
Huang Qiong and Wang Bi'an and a few other younger children helped bring things from the kitchen, when Wang Lu sat down, everyone was almost there, it seemed to be a tacit understanding, Feng Haiqi, Zhou Chunyu, Qiu Weiqin, Lao Yutou and others all sat at a table with Wang Lu, Wang Lu was gossiping with everyone, Uncle Chen stood up: "Attention big guys, we found a large piece of potatoes in the field yesterday, today's farm work is to harvest potatoes, this work is more urgent, if you don't hurry up, the potatoes will sprout when buried in the ground, After eating, all the people had to go to the fields, and other work was put on hold. The children also went along, and today's agricultural technology class was digging potatoes. ā
Everyone responded with a big mouth, and Wang Lu said with a smile: "Potatoes are good, but if you don't plant potatoes for crossing, you will be damned." It's strange to say, Chen Wei really hasn't found acres of potatoes before, and there are only a few bits and pieces on the river beach, which are probably grown and eaten by home. ā
Feng Haiqi said with a smile: "Xiao Wang, the land in this area of Yinjiang is expensive, who would be willing to use it to grow potatoes, which is worthless, either to grow vegetables or to grow medicinal materials such as fritillary, which are planted in a thin field near the side of the mountain." Uncle Chen also traveled a long way to find that large potato field. āā¦,
"How big?" Wang Lu asked curiously.
Feng Haiqi said: "There are more than 20 acres, Uncle Chen said, this is not to mention that one mu has a yield of 1,500 kilograms to 2,000 kilograms, you have to dig a large cellar to store potatoes, today's work is indispensable."

Wang Lu said with a smile: "Who would think that there are too many things, potatoes are good things, braised potatoes, fried potato cakes, fried shredded potatoes, baked potato chips, just boil a saltwater potato in salty water, that tastes, hey, delicious." ā
Qiu Weiqin interjected: "This potato can still be used as potato vermicelli, this thing will be stored for a long time, and it won't be bad if it is left for a year." ā
Wang Lu nodded: "With potatoes, it's good to find sweet potatoes again, by the way, and corn, these things are all big killers to fill your stomach in a hungry year, with these crops, you basically don't have to worry about the food problem in the coming year." ā
Feng Haiqi said: "Don't worry about sweet potatoes, look for them in the mountains, there must be, it is estimated that Xiao Wang you can't collect it, but the corn is a little troublesome, 10 years ago, Siming Mountain is the most corn planted, the villagers call it Liugu, but now a little bit of the brain are planting flowers and trees, plus the corn varieties in Ningbo taste bad, in recent years, planting corn has been rare, and you have to think of looking for it." ā
Wang Lu hurriedly said: "This is not in a hurry, now our strength is still limited, there is no need to hurry to expand the territory to the mountainous area, besides, corn seeds are not only in the field, we can go to the seed station to find it, I have the impression that Ningbo seed company has cultivated a real estate corn seeds, from planting to harvesting only more than 80 days." ā
Wang Lu and others were chatting, Huang Qiong came over with a stainless steel basin filled with porridge, stood next to Wang Lu to put the basin on the table, Wang Lu quickly stood up and stretched out his hand to take it from Huang Qiong's hand, Huang Qiong was just about to say thank you, suddenly felt an itch in his nose, and hurriedly turned his head to the side, avoiding the porridge basin in his hand, his mouth was open, he sneezed, and sneezed loudly.
Huang Qiong's last head, although she avoided the porridge basin, sprayed all the foam on the face of Wang Lu, who was about to take the basin in her hand.
Huang Qiong's little face was red with shame, and she hummed like a mosquito: "I'm sorry, Uncle Wang." IāI'm going to wipe it with a tissue. ā
"Wait." Wang Lu's voice was a little stiff: "Huang Qiong, you have a cold." ā
Huang Qiong snorted: "Last night...... It's a little cold. "Running around barefoot in pajamas, can you not catch a cold? Huang Qiong raised her eyes and secretly looked at Wang Lu--she was caught red-handed by Uncle Wang last night-but this glance made her heart chuckle--Wang Lu had a straight face, her brows were tightly locked, and she stared at her.
Huang Qiong is a child, but she is not stupid, Wang Lu's unexpectedly nervous appearance could not be because he sneezed in his face - Uncle Wang, what's wrong?
Huang Qiong was frightened, looked left and right, and found that Feng Haiqi, Zhou Chunyu, Xie Ling and others were also looking directly at her, and everyone's eyes were mixed with worry, suspicion, and panic.
Huang Qiong involuntarily took a step back: "I, what's wrong with me?" Uncle and aunt, why are you, looking at me like this? As soon as she said this, she sneezed so loudly that even her snot came out.
Xie Ling stood up and hugged Huang Qiong's shoulders: "Good boy, don't be afraid." You're just, cold. ā
Half an hour later, a farm vehicle and a motor tricycle suddenly drove out of Mingfeng Villa, and under the leadership of Old Man Chen, they drove towards the potato fields on the side of the mountain in the distance. Today, the people of Yashan are basically pouring out of the nest, and even Qiu Weiqin and others have stopped the construction of the huge Houshan high-voltage power grid under Wang Lu's suggestion, and instead started to "go to the mountains and go to the countryside". Originally, according to the meaning of Wang Lu, the Houshan high-voltage power grid simply did not do it, anyway, to this day, he lives relatively safely in the Longwang Temple, but everyone including Feng Haiqi and Zhou Chunyu are opposed, so they have to take a step back and agree to the construction of this project, just hope that everyone can take the time to carry it out, no need to be too anxious, now is the autumn harvest season, or solve the food problem first. ā¦,
The children sat in the back compartment of the motorized three cars, the wind was a little strong today, blowing on the face, a little cool, Huang Donghua wrapped the jacket on his body a little tighter, and quietly asked Zheng Jiayan beside him: "Sister Zheng, Sister Huang Qiong will be fine, right?" Uncle Wang, why do they have to lock her up? ā
Zheng Jiayan said in a low voice: "It's not locked up, it's just that you need to be isolated and observed." Uncle Wang has already said in the restaurant just now that biochemical viruses are still infecting people, and cold and fever are the main symptoms of infection, so in order to prevent just in case, everyone who has a cold must be isolated and observed, which is good for Huang Qiong and for everyone. ā
Huang Donghua muttered: "However, Sister Huang Qiong really just has a little cold, just because she sneezed, she has to lock people up, isn't it too much." ā
Zheng Jiayan had great trust in Wang Lu in her heart, and when she heard Huang Donghua say this, she suddenly became a little unhappy, and she reluctantly said: "Huang Donghua, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that Uncle Wang, they care about Huang Qiong or hurt her? ā
Huang Donghua shrunk his neck: "I didn't mean that, it's just that I heard some adults secretly talking about it, saying that Uncle Wang is doing something to divide and play a black hand." ā
Zheng Jiayan almost stood up from the back compartment, she stared at Huang Donghua angrily: "Xiao Dongzi, how can you say this, after you arrived at Yashan, Uncle Wang was sorry for you at something, good food and drink, you, how can you say bad things about him like this." Do you still have a conscience? ā
Zheng Jiayan has always been gentle to people, this is the first time Huang Donghua has seen her lose her temper, and she was so frightened that she shook her hand again and again: "It's not what I said, it's not what I said, it's other adults who are saying that I overheard." ā
Huang Donghua and Zheng Jiayan argued a little louder, and a new child from the urban area next to him also heard it, and the boy snorted coldly: "Zheng Jiayan, what are you fierce, this is Yashan, and you are just an outsider from the Kyaukkou Reservoir, what kind of score are you putting on." Besides, the king-the king's leader, they locked up Huang Qiong, and we can't even discuss it in private? That's right, you should be careful of biochemical virus infection, I've heard about secondary infections before, but it's too much of a fuss to isolate just a sneeze, right? ā
Lu Kai next to him couldn't stand it, Zheng Jiayan was cold to him, but in Lu Kai's heart, Zheng Jiayan was also his relatives - he and Zheng Jiaxi are now a couple, but the truth is too terrifying to say it to Zheng Jiayan, at this time, I heard the boy shouting at Zheng Jiayan, and as soon as he raised his hand, he slapped the boy on the back of the head: "What are you a broken child?" ā
The boy was slapped coldly, and suddenly became angry, none of the children in the last days are really weak, in the fight against zombies, they have already honed their courage and will, although Lu Kai is the oldest among the children, but the boy is not afraid of him, and reached out and slapped away Lu Kai's hand pointing at his nose: "The surname Lu, do you want to fight?" Come, who's afraid of whom! Why, there is no place for people to talk in this cliff mountain? Hmph, all the people in your reservoir are bad seeds, and they only shoot other people's sycophants. This stick even hit Lin Jiu, who had been silent, and Lin Jiu, who was also shot while lying down, was not happy, and pushed the boy: "What did you kid say!" ā
Seeing that the children in the back compartment of the tricycle were about to fight, suddenly, the tricycle braked suddenly, and the children in the back compartment were all staggering, and when they finally stood up, they found that the reason why the tricycle braked suddenly was because the agricultural vehicle in front of it stopped.
I don't know when, several people on the farm truck were in a mess, and there was a noisy shouting in the wind: "Wang Decheng, you are a dog." Wang Decheng scolded angrily while waving his fist: "I think you kid is a white-eyed wolf, Brother Wang just cares about Huang Qiong's little girl and lets her rest well, but when it comes to your mouth, it becomes a secret hurt, I'm sorry, who will you fight if you don't beat you?" Zhou Chunyu roared: "Don't fight, you have nothing to do when you're full, right?" Cai Chunlei said beside him: "Brother Zhou, you don't care about them, let Wang Decheng clean them up, it's the other way around, you dare to say bad things about Brother Wang, and you can't treat them?" Zhou Chunyu shouted: "Treat your mother's head, what has become of a good thing in your broken mouth?" āā¦,
This mess was finally calmed down under the persuasion of Feng Haiqi and Old Man Chen, and Feng Haiqi didn't say much, but after separating the people who were scuffling together, he said lightly: "What are you arguing about, if you have this strength, after you finish the farm work, you will go to take care of Huang Qiong with Teacher Chen." Hmph, Huang Qiong has Chen Wei to take care of her, what are you not satisfied with? ā
Someone said suspiciously: "Isn't Huang Qiong's child isolated?" Can we visit her? ā
Feng Haiqi said: "You won't die if you look at it, and those who want to see it can just go and see it, so you can have a good heart." ā
Someone immediately smiled and said: "Peace of mind, peace of mind, how can you not be at ease." Teacher Chen Wei said that she would personally accompany Huang Qiong 24 hours a day, how could we not feel at ease. ā
Feng Haiqi waved his hand: "Let's put this matter aside, hurry up and get in the car, it's serious to go to work." ā
In Mingfeng Villa, Wang Lu looked up at the sky with his arms in his arms, and sighed long, Huang Qiong's illness was not born at the right time.
Wang Lu could imagine how the crowd of people who were digging potatoes were talking about Huang Qiong being quarantined because of a cold - conspiracy theories, this would definitely be regarded as a malicious conspiracy!
This is especially true for newcomers to the city.
The newcomers in the urban area have not gone smoothly since they arrived in Yashan, first because of the problem of blood donation, and the people of Yashan had a conflict, and then immediately happened to the log No. 1, although it is said that the log No. 1 is a self-defeating person, but it does not mean that the newcomers in the urban area have no doubts in their hearts, and today, the child Huang Qiong, who has always been well-behaved, will be isolated because of a cold, which must have greatly stimulated the distrust of the people in the urban area towards Wang Lu.
Although it is a series of accidents and coincidences, the most direct consequence is that the people in the urban area are being suppressed and divided step by step under the manipulation of Wang Lu.
No doubts, no backlash, hell with that.
Even the old Yu Tou, who has always cooperated with Wang Lu, after hearing that Huang Qiong was going to be quarantined for three days, also raised questions about whether it was necessary to quarantine with great fanfare before there were no further symptoms.
But Wang Lu understands that he can't back down, and the isolation of Huang Qiong is obviously to prevent the infection of biochemical viruses, but its essence is to "establish rules" for everyone. In the final analysis, Yashan needs rules, and when you arrive at Yashan, you must abide by the rules set by Wang Lu, even if this rule is very impersonal, even if the rule is flawed, but the rules are rules and must be followed.
When Wang Lu categorically announced that Huang Qiong, who was wiping his nose, was going to be quarantined for three days, the breakfast scene, which was still filled with a brisk atmosphere just now, suddenly became solemn, and someone paused the porridge bowl heavily, and the whispering became heavier and heavier.
At this moment, Chen Wei stood up, and she said loudly: "In the three days that Huang Qiong has been isolated, I have lived with this child, and I will take care of her. ā
The strange and depressing atmosphere at the scene was eased, and with Chen Wei by her side, Huang Qiong's isolation was real isolation, not another form of imprisonment.
Wang Lu understood everyone's thoughts, he couldn't help but be annoyed, he was really sick, even if he wanted to do something to the newcomer, he wouldn't pick a careless little girl. As for such sabre-rattling.
Wang Lu made a bitter face, Huang Qiong was really sick, if after a period of time, such as after the wedding of Guan Xin and Feng Shiqi, everyone's suspicion and resistance would not be so strong. I hope that Huang Qiong's child's cold will recover as soon as possible, otherwise, the three-day isolation period will be extended, and at that time, if you can't do it well, you will have to use strong means to suppress the dissent that will inevitably appear. And the sequelae of using tough means is the last thing Wang Lu wants to see, even if the matter is calmed down for a while, but the seeds of suspicion have fallen from this, and no one knows what flowers will bloom and what fruits will be produced.
