"A hole leaked in the stinking ditch of the chemical plant, poisoning all the fish in the fish ponds contracted by the Zhao family." Ning Guang was in a hurry to go to school and couldn't stop inquiring, and he heard the specific news after returning home at night, "The Zhao family was distressed to death, and gathered a group of people to go to the gate of the chemical plant to make trouble." ”

It is rare for the villagers to unite in their crusade against the chemical plant, because this stinky ditch is grazed from the edge of Chaoyang Village, which directly affects their fields, vegetable furrows, fish ponds, and water sources.

In fact, a few years ago, it was found that something was wrong in the fields near the stinky ditch, and the grain harvested was red and black, and the villagers themselves did not dare to eat it, and they refused to sell it to the grain station. The fields in the village are mainly in the opposite direction to the stinky ditch, and only a small part of the fields are affected, and I don't know how to solve it later, in short, it didn't make a big fuss.

But this time it will certainly not be easy to subside.

After all, there are so many dead fish in the fish ponds, and they are shocking to watch.

Nor are the losses comparable to a few baskets of rice.

Sure enough, the Zhao family quickly made a big fuss, the chemical factory called the police, and the police station almost dispatched the whole army to confront the villagers at the gate of the factory, even to the point that the villagers went to send quilts and other items to the family to fight a protracted war.

Of course, this news also spread throughout the town, and the students of the junior high school also had some discussions, and some people told Ning Guang that it is useless to make such a fuss in your village, because there are people on top of the chemical factory: "The water they discharged along the river is harmful to the neighboring city, that is, the year before last, several carloads of people came to the neighboring city to settle accounts with them, and in the end, it was not a gray and slippery departure, and the chemical plant still discharged?" ”

Ning Guang didn't know about this, and was skeptical: "Really? ”

"Of course it's true." The person who told her this was a male classmate from the town, chubby and a little arrogant, and he originally looked down on Ning Guang, but later heard that Yang Qiuhan took good care of her, so he changed his attitude, although he was still a little high-minded, but he also liked to say to Ning Guang about something, "How many years has this factory been open, and the pollution of the environment is not a day or two, do you think no one hates it?" Why are they all there until now, of course there are people up there! ”

Children at this age don't all understand the vague statement of "someone", so Ning Guang said ignorantly: "But the book says that the country is advocating the protection of the environment, are they not afraid that the country will know about it?" ”

"The country's leaders are too busy to do any major things, who cares about this stinky ditch." The fat classmate rolled his eyes, "Look at it, this matter will be suppressed in a few days." ”

Ning Guang was skeptical, saying that even if the people from the neighboring city came over and didn't make a result, the people in his village might not suffer a loss-after all, there was a Zhao Xia married in the county cadre's family.

Even if Zhao Xia usually has a nose and eyes on her mother's side, but this time the few people who contracted the fish pond have no grievances with her, but they have the affection of the same clan, and if they really ask to go to the door, Zhao Xia should not refuse, right?

Thinking so, she prayed that the Zhao family could hold down the chemical plant, because she really didn't like the stinky ditch. Now it's a stinky ditch, but Ning Guang heard Miao Guoqing occasionally mention that a few years ago, it was still a clear water ditch, and there were a lot of crabs, fish and shrimp in it, and the skiniest boy in the village ran over to touch the fish and catch the shrimp from time to time, and add food to the family.

However, after half a month, the people in the village who went to the chemical factory to ask for explanations came back together, but the chemical plant was still open, and the sewage flowed day and night, all the way down the stinky ditch, into the waterway that could lead to the Grand Canal.

The backer of this chemical plant is so powerful, did even the Zhao family lose?

The people in the village were all surprised, and whispered for several days, Ning Guang was disappointed and confused in his heart, or one day he met Zhao Jianguo, who came to wash things temporarily, by the dock, to know the inside story: although the chemical plant was not closed, it also lost a sum of money to the Zhao family, and also paid some lost work expenses to all the Zhao family members who made trouble in the past.

Zhao Jianguo said that the original chemical factory meant to buy the dead fish in the fish ponds at most eighty percent of the market price, but later they called Zhao Xia, and the Shen family came forward, and the chemical factory gave in.

"If it weren't for An Yi's Uncle and them, we would have lost a lot this time." While rinsing the futon, he said to Ning Guang, "The people in the factory look down on us countrymen who are pure farmers, so if we countrymen want to get ahead, we still need to have people in the city." ”

Ning Guang nodded in agreement.

"You're all right." Zhao Jianguo said after a while, "You have a good relationship with An Yi, and even if you don't study after graduating from junior high school, you can ask An Yi to help you find a job in the city." ”

"An Yi will definitely help you too." Ning Guang had heard people envy her so much several times, and she said a little frustratedly, "You're her cousin." ”

How many years have it been since I met Shen Anyi, and it has always been Shen Anyi who takes care of her, and even the people around her think that Shen Anyi will definitely take care of her...... She couldn't help Shen Anyi with anything.

It's a sad feeling.

After all, she really wanted to be friends with Shen Anyi, not just hugging her thighs and asking Shen Anyi for it.

She also wants to reciprocate.

"Me?" Zhao Jianguo was silent for a moment when he heard this, smiled a little self-defeatingly, and suddenly changed the topic, "By the way, your uncle may be in trouble." ”

Ning Guang let out an "ah" and asked in surprise, "What?" ”

"The last time the chemical plant was blocked, the factory felt that a village, let your uncle persuade him, but if your uncle didn't persuade him, the factory might fire him." Zhao Jianguo looked at no one on the left and right, and whispered, "I listened to what my uncle said, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”

"But what's the matter with my uncle?" Ning Guang felt incomprehensible, "There are so many dead fish, even if it is a village, who can persuade people to seek justice?" "Not to mention Miao Guoqing, who has no status at home or in the village, even if Ning Fulin is in office, the years with the highest prestige, I'm afraid I can't stop it!

After all, the few who contracted the fish pond, the family poured their hearts and souls into the fish pond, and their livelihood all year round was counting on the fish pond, and now the fish are all dead, do you let them give up? Just kidding!

If you don't carry a hoe and go desperately, it's calm!

Zhao Jianguo also felt that Miao Guoqing was wronged: "Maybe the factory feels that it bowed its head to our Zhao family and has no face, right?" ”

However, because of the Shen family, the Zhao family could not help it, so they could only expel Miao Guoqing, who was from the same village as the Zhao family...... Of course, Ning Guang felt wronged, but no matter how wronged he was, he couldn't help it, because within two days, Miao Guoqing really came back with his salary, and said dejectedly that the factory asked him not to go in the future.

Ning Fulin almost died of anger: "If they ask you to come back, you will come back?" You didn't ask you how hard you usually work and do things honestly, why did you say that you don't want you!? ”

Although he had no one to report the news, but with many years of experience, he could guess what his son-in-law would do and be driven back, so he was very angry at the moment, and asked Miao Guoqing to go back to the factory to ask for an explanation, "Their Zhao family is making trouble, what does it matter to our Ning family!" You've been going to work in a proper manner, and you haven't blocked the door with them, why are you being used as a punching bag! ”

But Miao Guoqing was not angry, and said timidly: "Uncle, people don't want us to do it, if we are forced to stay, how embarrassing are we?" ”

"You scumbag, you deserve to be unproductive for the rest of your life!" Ning Fulin hated that iron could not become steel, spit on the ground, went into the house to change clothes, and went to the factory to explain the law.

He didn't leave in vain this trip, although he couldn't let Miao Guoqing continue to work in the factory, and he got more than 100 yuan in compensation.

"I'll find someone to ask you if you want people in other factories." Ning Fulin was not satisfied with this result, and after returning home, he patted the table and scolded the mountain gate for a long time, and then Mrs. Chu was tired of listening to it, and came out to ask him not to talk about these useless things, think about what to do after Miao Guoqing, such a big man, he can't eat idle meals at home from now on, and let his wife and father-in-law raise him, right?

Ning Fulin frowned, thought for a while, and said to Miao Guoqing, "You will be clever in the future, you will listen to what other people say, is it your mother?" Just fart as a holy decree! If I hadn't gone to the factory today, wouldn't I have cheapened them for nothing?! ”

Miao Guoqing was scolded and curled up in a ball, not daring to make a sound.

In the next few days, Ning Fulin ran around, trying to find another job for this son-in-law.

But in the past two years, due to efficiency problems, several factories have collapsed in the town, and there are fewer and fewer jobs. He finally found a vacancy for a repairman in a textile factory, and asked someone to find an old repairman there to intercede, so that the other party agreed to take Miao Guoqing as an apprentice, seeing that everything was ready, Ning Yue'e made a fuss!

She didn't agree with Miao Guoqing to go to the textile factory!

The reason is very simple, the textile factory is basically female workers, and she is afraid that Miao Guoqing will be seduced away by the fox spirit after she goes.

Ning Fulin was so angry that he went up and kicked her directly, pointing at Miao Guoqing and asking her if she was blind: "It's just such a thing, that is, when you meet our family, it's the turn of both children and daughters!" No one wants it outside, are you still afraid of being robbed? Do you have something wrong with your brain?! ”

He looked down on Miao Guoqing from the bottom of his heart, so he didn't think that this son-in-law could do anything when he went out.

Helplessly, Ning Yue'e didn't think so, there was no news about Lan Xiaohua who abandoned her husband and son and eloped with someone until now, whether she was doing well or not, and the people in Chaoyang Village didn't know, but Zhao Xueming's father and son, who were left behind by her, have been living badly!

Zhao Xueming was teased from time to time, "Your wife hasn't been found yet", and Zhao Jianguo was often asked "Did you come back to see you", "Do you miss her" and so on. So much so that the father and son are now avoiding people when they go out, obviously they haven't done anything illegal, and they are like thieves when they go in and out.

Ning Yue'e saw it in her eyes, although she had no sympathy, she was afraid that she would also fall into such a situation.

After all, in this world, or in the village, men live much easier than women. But Zhao Xueming is still like this, if Miao Guoqing gets involved with someone, Ning Yue'e feels that she won't be able to live at all!

Thinking of this kind of consequence, even if Mrs. Chu came out to scold her and ask her to think about Ning Zong's future, Ning Yue's attitude was still resolute, saying that Miao Guoqing must not be allowed to go to a place with many women. If Mrs. Chu insisted with Ning Fulin, then she would rather jump into the river now than be ridiculed in the future.

If you put aside a few years ago, the juniors were making trouble, and Mrs. Chu and Ning Fulin would not take it to heart, because they felt that they were all scary.

But after Miao Guoqing really drank pesticides, they didn't dare to force people to be anxious, after all, it costs money to send them to the hospital for rescue, and in case the sequelae of the fall point drag them and Ning Zong's future.

Ning Yue's attitude was so resolute, Mrs. Chu and Ning Fulin persuaded left and right to no avail, and they were helpless for a while.

At this time, Ning Yue'e was also afraid that it would be difficult to clean up the stiffness, but she timidly put forward a suggestion, that is, let Miao Guoqing go out to work with others, and go to a place like a construction site where there are more men and fewer women, and she is still willing to rest assured.

"Although our family has no relatives in the city, there are many people who go out to work now, and the next village is the neighbor of my uncle's distant relative, isn't it just doing small work in Guangdong?" Ning Yue'e said, "I heard that the income is not bad, and the construction site is still responsible for food, drink and housing, and there is no need to spend money at all, and the salary is higher than that of a chemical plant...... I think it's good to let the National Day go there. ”

Mrs. Chu said angrily: "You said it easily! It's not that we should come forward and lose face! ”

She and Ning Fulin are so patriarchal, Ning Yue'e and Ning Yuemei's Mu Yan gave birth to two daughters in a row after entering the door that year, and they have not come out since, this situation can be imagined.

Therefore, Ning Yue's relatives have always said that their daughter was forced to death by the Ning family, and it is said that there was almost a fight at the funeral of Ning Fulin's wife. After that, there was basically no contact, and now that Ning Yue'e mentioned her uncle, of course Mrs. Chu was not happy.

However, in order not to waste Miao Guoqing's labor, mainly because the income from farming was really low at this time, Mrs. Chu discussed with Ning Fulin for two days, and finally asked someone to tell Miao Guoqing about a construction site in Shanghai.

It is said that it is very hard, but the salary is relatively high.

The problem of enduring hardship is not a matter in the eyes of Mrs. Chu and her son, after all, no matter how hard it is, it can be more bitter than farming? Now farming is already somewhat mechanically assisted, and in the early years, when there was not even a cow, the harrow and plough were pulled by hand...... That's all here, what construction site are you afraid of?

So soon Miao Guoqing packed up his luggage and left his hometown.

When he left, he squeezed two yuan out of the travel fee given by the Ning family and gave it to his daughter, telling her to study hard, and he would work hard to earn tuition for her, and don't be afraid that she won't study after the exam.

However, having said that, Ningguang has graduated from junior high school, and Miao Guoqing has never returned.
