CHAPTER XXVII
The car was speeding on the highway, Andy Lau's song was secretly fascinated by the car window, the wind was whistling outside the window, there were very few green trees in the distance, it was actually a desolate Gobi Desert, it seemed to be windy outside, and the car could not be heard.
In southern Xinjiang in June and July, wind and sand have become a constant feature, and you can see the scene of half sunny day and half sand and dust in the blink of an eye, and this weather is still no exception today. Not long after the car left, the road was covered by sand and dust, the sun was shining in front, and the dust and smoke were billowing like a huge cloth, pulling from the ground to the air, and a smell of earth rushed into the car, Wang Chu wanted to vomit, and tried to vomit several times but couldn't vomit.
The speed of the car is no match for the speed of the wind, and in less than ten minutes, the sand and dust have blocked all vision, and the distance of one meter in front cannot be recognized. The traffic had to turn on the double flashing and headlights, and even when the speed was lowered to the lowest level, it was impossible to see the road ahead. The drivers are highly concentrated, do not dare to brake, do not dare to slow down, step on the brakes for fear of rear-end collision in the rear, refueling for fear of colliding with the car in front.
The car swayed back and forth in the case of too strong wind, and after walking for nearly half an hour, it finally ended the dusty section, Li Xiangyang wiped the sweat from his palms with paper, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. In this kind of weather, even Wang Chu's palms were oozing sweat.
The freshest time in Wang Chu's memory was more than 20 years ago, when the teacher took all the students to Xiaohaizi Reservoir to experience outdoor activities. The teacher said that it is the largest reservoir in the western plains, with a water area of 160 square kilometers and a stock of 700 million cubic meters. The teacher also introduced that the water there is melted by the ice and snow of the Kunlun Mountains, which pours thousands of miles from the Pamir Plateau and crosses the Gobi Desert, which stretches for thousands of miles, and joins here.
With these curiosities, Wang Chu saw the reservoir for the first time, which was as endless as the sea in a book, with a blue sky, flying seagulls, shells, conchs, and the sound of wind music.
I remember that the sun was very good that day, the light leaked from the poplar forest, and the heat came one after another, and the students collected all kinds of plant leaves according to their own division of labor, and the teacher explained over and over again that no one was allowed to go near the reservoir, and all the students were not allowed to go far.
The more the teacher explained, the more curious Wang Chu became, she pulled Yang Huimin and slipped into the edge of the reservoir without everyone paying attention.
There is a dilapidated building on the edge of the reservoir, an arched step goes up, is a garden-like courtyard, below is a long corridor hall extending to the side of the bridge, the top is red bricks, the bridge hole under the bridge is as wide as ten meters The water flows quickly, the water is so loud that Wang Chu can't even hear Yang Huimin's shouting.
"Wow." Wang Chu opened her arms, a wind blew in her face, she smelled the smell of hot flashes of the sea, she looked ahead with the eyes she could, so she saw the blue sky, the fragrance of the tide, and the music of the chirping of seagulls in the air. She suddenly felt that this place was full of poetry, and there was beauty everywhere that could not be told in words.
Yang Huimin and Wang Chu's personalities are completely different, what she saw was the water-soaked conch and shells in the stone crevices on the edge of the reservoir, so her hands were not idle to pick up shells and conchs, and her hands couldn't fit them, so she picked up bottles and filled them.
"Wang Chu, come and pick up the conch." Yang Huimin shouted, "Go to my house tonight and ask my dad to fry the conch for you." ”
The beautiful poetry has been broken, Wang Chu had to walk over, and found that under the stones with water, the conch drifted back and forth with the ripples of the water, and there were very few shells, and it took a long time to see one.
"Spicy conch is my dad's favorite dish, you know? My dad came here every once in a while to pick up conch and make it for me to eat, the kind of numb and spicy flavor is delicious. ”
"Hmm." Wang Chu nodded, "I can smell the numb and spicy fragrance." ”
"Don't just smell it, pick it up."
The playful Yang Huimin poured the water on Wang Chu, Wang Chu's eyes widened, "You dare to splash me?" ”
"I'll splash you, I'll splash you, what's the matter?"
A water fight began, and the conch in the bottle returned to the water, both of them were wet with rain, and the laughter kept coming out, and when they came back to their senses, they found that the sand and dust had blown from not far away, and the torrential rain was coming towards them.
"Don't pick it up, let's go, there's a sandstorm." Yang Zhizhi shouted, there was no time to dodge, the rainstorm had hit, and there was a tent not far away, Yang Huimin pulled her and ran there.
"Oops." Wang Chu screamed, the slate was too slippery, Wang Chu was fallen, and the stone hurt her knee, so painful that she couldn't get up.
"What's wrong with you? Did it hurt you? Yang Huimin held Wang Chu and asked.
"My legs." Wang Chu covered his knees and kept moaning.
"Are you alright?"
"The leg may have been knocked out."
"Come on, I'll carry you."
Wang Chu blinked in surprise, Yang Zhizhi pulled her on her back, staggered, and finally carried her into the tent, and the moment she entered the tent, the whole sky darkened, and she couldn't even see her fingers.
The tent was leaking rain, and the sound of torrential rain and strong winds made Wang Chu a little scared, she and Yang Huimin squatted in the corner of the tent, hugging each other, and only when lightning and thunder roared, they could see each other's frightened and frightened expressions.
"Oh my God, I grew up in Xinjiang and I've never seen such a big wind." Yang Huimin's voice was extremely trembling.
"Are you scared?"
"What's there to be afraid of? The end of the world will not come, and we will not be blown into the sky, don't worry, we can't die. ”
Wang Chu knew that Yang Zhizhi was pretending to be calm, but she was also trembling, she didn't know if it was caused by the cold rain on her body and the cold wind, or the timidity in her body was causing trouble, but one thing was certain. The wound on her leg was aching, her whole body was shaking, and her teeth were chattering.
The raindrops are getting heavier and stronger, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and only when the thunder comes, can you see everything in front of you, and the trees not far away make the sound of being cut down, swaying together with the lightning and the wind, the sound of squeaking and cracking sounds harsh, and the moment of another thunder and lightning finally breaks. As for how it fell, in the darkness that disappeared after the thunder and lightning, only a loud sound was heard to the ground, but unfortunately, the spectacle of the fallen trees could not be appreciated.
Wang Chu's body shook with a shocking sound of the trees falling to the ground, and Yang Huimin clearly felt it, "Don't be afraid. She reassured, "There's me." ”
Wang Chu let out a cold breath, "Will we die?" Where are our classmates and teachers? How so? ”
"No, it won't." Yang Huimin patted Wang Chu's shoulder and comforted, "It's just a storm." ”
Yang Huimin's comfort failed to alleviate Wang Chu's palpitations, and she had no choice but to hug her tightly and bury her head in the other party's arms. After a long time, the outside gradually lit up, and the sun hanging between the two peaks in the distance finally showed its face, and then heard the voices of many people not far away, "Wang Chu......, Yang Huimin ......." ”
Wang Chu and Yang Huimin rushed out of the tent, and the teacher and classmates were standing not far away, their clothes were wet, their hair was also wet, their shoes were covered with mud, and their trouser legs were also wet. When the teacher saw Wang Chu and Yang Huimin, his unusual anger was mixed with tears of excitement, and he stretched out his finger several times to scold, but stopped after several words.
The teacher saw the blood stains on Wang Chu's knees, took the medicine box from his classmates and walked over, he squatted down and slowly lifted his trouser legs, the wound was a little painful, and she tried her best to endure it. The wound is not small, not the skin is bruised, but the skin is open, a piece of meat is lifted, the teacher uses cotton wool to clean up the bloodstains, especially the ointment, there is a kind of pain that drills the heart.
The scar on Wang Chu's leg still existed after many years, so that when she changed into the maternity dress that Li Xiangyang had carefully selected for her in the mall, he clearly saw the long scar left on her knee.
"Where did the scar on your leg come from?" Li Xiangyang pulled Wang Chu's leg and asked in surprise.
Wang Chu put aside Li Xiangyang's hand and sneered, the scars on her body are not only on her knees, but also on her hands, waist, and eardrums, which should all be counted, but she didn't blurt out these words, "It's been more than 20 years ago, and you only found out now?" She immediately got up, went to the fitting room to change into her own clothes, and walked out of the fitting room, Li Haoran chose two more pregnancy clothes for her, Li Haoran was holding his father's phone and said, "Grandma, my dad is busy buying maternity clothes for my mother, my mother is pregnant, and she is going to give birth to a little sister for me." ”
Wang Chu's eyes turned red instantly, and he turned around and left, Li Xiangyang took the clothes and checked the bill, and instructed Li Haoran, "Son, follow your mother quickly." ”
"Grandma, I won't tell you." Li Haoran reacted, hung up the phone and ran to catch up with Wang Chu, "Mom, you wait for me." ”
Wang Chu deliberately slowed down the speed, and when Li Haoran approached, Li Xiangyang had already rushed over, she wanted to turn around and leave, but her son had already dragged her. She frowned tightly and motioned for him to let go, but he teased with a hippie smile, "Mom, emotional emotions will produce countless teaphenolamines in the body, and the secretion of adrenaline will increase, causing small arterial blood vessels to constrict, gastrointestinal function to decline, and loss of appetite, you will directly affect the healthy growth of my little sister, so you can't be angry." Only then did she show a slight smile on her face, and he said, "Hey, that's right, Mom, when people are in a happy mood, they will secrete dopamine, increase the secretion of acetylcholine, a neuromodulatory substance in the brain, smooth blood, and increase appetite, so that you can radiant, naturally, my little sister can grow up healthily." ”
"Where did you get all this from?" Wang Chu asked.
I learned this from a physics book. Li Haoran said that he had a great sense of accomplishment.
Wang Chu pursed his lips, Li Xiangyang had already approached her, "Let's go, I'll take you to buy skin care products for pregnant women, and you have to change everything you eat and wear, including shampoo and bath liquid." ”
"I'm not going."
"If you don't go, you have to go." Li Xiangyang forcibly pulled Wang Chu.
"Dad, Dad." Li Haoran hurriedly pulled Li Xiangyang away, "My mother is pregnant, don't force it, look at me." He turned to Wang Chu with a hippie smile on his face, "Dear Mother, I don't need to carry you on an occasion like today, right?" How bad it is for so many people to look at it. ”
Li Haoran's forcible slow bubble is first-class, Wang Chu has already experienced it, he will use various methods to make you go along with him, I don't know who this is like, Li Xiangyang does not have the gene of coaxing and bubbles.
Wang Chu knew what kind of way Li Haoran would treat her if he was emotional, so he had to follow, Haohao took her arm, and first entered the maternal and child skin care shop, Li Xiangyang consulted the owner of the shop, what kind of skin care products people use in the early stages of pregnancy. The shopkeeper saw that he was not dressed by ordinary people, so he brought several high-end skin care products, shower gels and shampoos, and the shopkeeper focused on the most expensive ones.
"Okay, no need to explain, wrap it up." Li Xiangyang was very refreshed and took out his mobile phone to scan the QR code.
"Okay." The shopkeeper brought a bag and packed all the skin care products, "It's 1020 yuan in total, we have a point activity in the store, and if you use it well, you'll come back next time." ”
"Okay." Li Xiangyang paid the money unequivocally, and then they went to the supermarket and swept up all the items used by the supermarket for pregnant women with Li Haoran.
"Calcium tablets can supplement calcium, milk can also be eaten, soybeans should be eaten more, and eggs, fish and meat should not be missing. Almonds can't be eaten, the books say that they contain a certain amount of poison, kelp contains a lot of iodine, too much dosage will cause my sister's thyroid dysplasia, spinach is not good, it will affect calcium absorption, longan and kiwi fruits can cause pregnant women to be allergic, and they can't be eaten, and crabs are even worse, which will directly lead to miscarriage in pregnant women. Li Haoran checked what pregnant women should eat from his mobile phone, he took what he wanted, and he didn't look at what should not be eaten, Li Xiangyang was only responsible for pushing the cart in the back, and after ten minutes, the cart was already full.
Choosing basketballs, Li Haoran is the most attentive, each basketball he first touches the surface of the basketball, then weighs the weight of the basketball, and then checks the workmanship and density of the basketball.
"Does it take that much effort to pick a basketball?" Wang Chu asked incomprehensibly.
"You don't understand that, do you?" Li Haoran's fingers skillfully rotated the basketball, "A good basketball has a lot of friction on the surface, it should be slightly heavier, such a basketball feels good to the touch, and it will not feel light and fluttery when throwing, and the basketball is a consumable, often slapped and rubbed on the ground, and it is easy to open the glue after a long time, so I have to pick a basketball with fine workmanship, so that it can take a little longer." ”
Wang Chu frowned, saying that he was lonely and unheard, and half an hour later, Li Xiangyang and Li Haoran put the purchased items in the trunk of the car in large bags and returned with a full load.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the house, I got out of the car, and I saw that the door of the political commissar next door was full of people, the scene was very chaotic, the security guard maintained order at the door, and a woman shouted and scolded the street, "You pay my man, I don't want your stinky money, I want people, I don't want how much you pay, I want people, you hide at home and don't come out, I will scold at your door every day, my people are dead, you are still hiding at home and not seeing me, I tell you, don't think that your man is a political commissar, I don't dare to sue you, how much stinky money your family has, it doesn't work, my man can't come back, I'll let your man go to jail, preferably for the rest of his life. The woman crossed her waist and scolded, changing various movements to scold, and the sound of knocking on the door could not be stopped by the security guards.
I heard that not long ago, Ren Political Commissar drove a public car to the company to run errands, and accidentally hit and killed someone, and the woman who scolded the street in front of him was the family of the deceased, and the family of Ren Political Commissar had promised to give 200,000 yuan to settle the matter, but the premise was that his husband must be released from prison without incident. Because the other party received a few hundred acres of land from the deceased's family a few years ago and distributed it to more landless workers, the family of the deceased counted all the resentment accumulated a few years ago on the head of the political commissar, so the family of the deceased demanded that while compensating 200,000 yuan, the political commissar Ren should also be imprisoned.
If a regiment leader has such a thing, the job is naturally gone, just like the identity of the company's employees, the family of the political commissar not only wants to claim 200,000 yuan and then the political commissar will come back safely, but also wants to continue to be competent as the political commissar in the original post, she insisted, "My husband had a car accident because of office work, and he shouldn't even have lost his job." "The family of the deceased insisted that they wanted money and let the political commissar go to jail. However, in any case, the higher authorities will no longer decide to let Ren Political Commissar continue to be competent, otherwise it will leave a wind of tongue and have a negative impact on society.
"A woman's thinking is superficial." Li Xiangyang said while taking the items in the car, "Now the only thing she has to do is to seek forgiveness from the family of the deceased, and the only way to get the family's forgiveness is to compensate, but she is afraid of compensation, and she is afraid of both people and money. If you lose money, you have to let the political commissar come out immediately, and let her husband continue to be qualified as a political commissar in the political commissar position, her kind of thinking will harm someone to be the political commissar. ”
"People are right to be worried." Wang Chu said, "The two of them once had unresolved grievances, and if I were me, I didn't want to be empty." ”
"How can I say it, women's thinking is superficial." Li Xiangyang frowned and said, "When I have the same thing as Ren Political Commissar one day, are you the same as her, and you want me to go to prison?" ”
Wang Chu had nothing to say, threw the few things he was holding in his hand on the car, glared at Li Xiangyang, and turned around and entered the room.
