005. Grapevine
Uncle Qin is also from Nansha Village, but now he lives in the city and opens a cooked butcher shop at the entrance of the West Street Vegetable Market, specializing in the water of head meat and pigs.
Su Yu, Zhang Bo, the Wei brothers and Gao Dazhuang, just sat down at the cooked butcher shop of Uncle Qin's house, and saw a bright young woman in her twenties coming in from the back door, smilingly greeting Zhang Bo and others, "Oh, is it the sun coming out today? Will you come back from the farm so soon? Is there any result?"
The young woman spoke very quickly, chuckling, but her hands and feet were not slow. In a blink of an eye, she put on cold pig ears, red oil strips, a large plate of pork face meat, and a jar of millet wine.
Wei Qi next to Su Yu and whispered: "This is Tao Meijuan, the wife of the second boy of Uncle Qin's family. Everyone calls her Juanzi. She is the one who is working on the cooked butcher shop. She is a very stingy person. You may not remember Uncle Qin. His second boy is the second boy who almost drowned in the river. Do you have any impression?"
When Su Yu left the farm, although he was still young and many memories were blurred, those years appeared the most in his dreams. Only that memory could make him vaguely find the shadow of his mother.
Every detail related to that period has been imprinted in his body.
As soon as Wei Qi finished speaking, Su Yu said in a lost voice: "Turt Egg?"
Although Su Yu's voice was not loud, it was enough for everyone to hear it clearly. Several people immediately looked at the bright young woman Tao Meijuan and burst into laughter. Tao Meijuan's face also turned red, and she stared at Su Yu and said, "Who are you?"
Su Yu was also a little embarrassed. This nickname is indeed indecent. Erlangzi had a lot of fighting with people because of this, but Zhang Bo and others deliberately taught Su Yu to call this nickname to be funny, so he was deeply impressed.
Erlangzi's big name is Qin Ershui, but he is a standard landslide. He would feel dizzy when he stood by the river. He was once so excited that he jumped into the pond to play with water, but he was half dead. Gao Dazhuang was also beaten up by his family. This left a deep impression on Su Yu. At that time, only he and Wei Lan did not go into the water because they were too young.
Seeing that Tao Meijuan was a little annoyed, Wei San smiled and said, "You asked Brother Ershui to come out, and the person who liked to call him turtle eggs was back. By the way, let him bring another jar of wine."
Seeing that everyone was laughing, Tao Meijuan guessed three or four points, first poured Su Yu a bowl of rice wine, and then left gracefully.
Putting down the wine bowl in his hand, Zhang Bo asked about Su Yu's situation: "When I entered the mountain a few years ago, I met Wenfang from Teacher Jian's house. I heard that you have gone back to Yanjing. Now you should start working, right?"
Su Yu nodded, but didn't know where to start.
The teacher Jian mentioned by Zhang Bo should be considered Su Yu's adoptive mother.
After Su Mei passed away, Teacher Jian kept raising Su Yu. Su Yu was only a little over four years old at that time.
Teacher Jian’s name is Jian Xiaobu, and his age is similar to Su Mei. He is from Qincheng. He went to Chouyanping to work as an educated youth and married Zuo Gui from Chashugou. At that time, the full name of Chashugou was the Chashugou Brigade of Chouyanping Commune. Zuo Gui's father was the secretary of Chashugou brigade of Chashugou, so he found a job as a teacher for Jian Xiaobu. When he was with Su Mei, he was considered a colleague.
There was no news after Yang Jianguo returned to Beijing, so after Su Mei passed away, Su Yu suddenly became an orphan.
During Su Mei's illness, Su Yu was always Jian Xiaobu's daughter Zuo Wenfang, who was helping with him, and Zuo Wenfang was only three years older than Su Yu.
Unfortunately, Jane Xiaobu's husband Zuo Gui also had problems at this critical moment. When he was building a river dam, his legs were broken by a stone and became disabled. Jane Xiaobu had to give up teaching and go home to take care of the disabled Zuo Gui.
At that time, Su Yu followed Jian Xiaobu to Chashugou, and ten years were in a flash.
After sighing, Su Yu said, "Well, I'm already working, I'm here to report today."
Wei Qi said in surprise: "Report? Have you come to work in Hui County? Which unit?"
Su Yu smiled and said, "The Chouyanping Township Government has just arrived in the county in the afternoon, so I went to the cemetery to take a look."
It was said that it was the cofferdam, and several people showed strange looks on their faces. No one asked Su Yu’s specific job. Zhang Bo sighed and then said, “It’s good to go to the cofferdam. Teacher Jian’s family really needs someone to take care of. It was because of this that Wenfang gave up staying at school and returned to the cofferdam to be a teacher.”
The year Su Yu returned to Yanjing, Zuo Wenfang was admitted to Provincial Normal University. He was the first college student in Cofferyanping and a key university. After graduation, he had the opportunity to stay in school, but Zuo Wenfang resolutely returned to Cofferyanping and is now the principal of Cofferyanping Middle School.
Jian Xiaobu only has two daughters, Wenfang is the sister, and her sister Zuo Xiaoqing is three years younger than Su Yu, and she is still a student now.
When Su Yu agreed to return to Beijing, he actually had a lot of helplessness. His family really couldn't provide three students with school at the same time, especially when the three children had excellent grades. So after Zuo Wenfang was admitted to college, Su Yu returned to Yanjing.
Su Yu contacted his grandmother after returning to Beijing, and there were many twists and turns. However, since then, the Zuo family's embarrassment was relieved. Although he could not go back to the cofferdam in person, he also sent money back to let Zuo Gui go to the provincial capital for better treatment.
Although Su Yu has been very slutty in the Yang family over the years, which made Yang Jianguo and his family hate him, he has never cut off contact with the Zuo family. Zuo Wenfang was able to graduate from college smoothly and Zuo Xiaoqing was able to study performances as she wished, but they were inseparable from Su Yu.
Luo Zhongyu settled Su Yu in Cofferyanping as the village head, which had a lot to do with Su Yu's experience, and this position was relatively the most suitable. He had not even consulted Su Yu's ideas, so Luo Zhongyu made arrangements in advance.
Zuo Wenfang was the principal of Cofferyanping Middle School, so Su Yu naturally knew it clearly. After hearing Zhang Bo's words, he naturally guessed that his brothers had thought wrongly. However, he did not explain much, but asked about the farm and cemetery: "The fourth brother will tell me about building a battlefield by the river. If it really doesn't work, I have to find a way to move the grave."
Zhang Bo said: "It is probably certain to move the grave, and you have to hurry up." Seeing that Su Yu didn't understand very well, he explained: "The people who plan to build a battlefield by the river are very powerful in the county, and they take both black and white. Otherwise, how could they get the approval from the Land Bureau? You also saw that in addition to the engineering team, there were still many idle people on site today."
Su Yu said "hmm". He had actually expected this question. If there was no power, who would dare to drive a construction car to level the grave? But his focus was not on this. "Why do those people want to build a battlefield by the Nansha River? They have such a large amount of capital. The yellow sand in Huaxi is not only of better quality, but also cheaper. Even if you go to buy sand specifically, it is also more cost-effective than building a battlefield?"
Gao Dazhuang interrupted: "Of course it's not for the purpose of cleaning sand. I heard that there is gold in our Nansha River."
Su Yu was stunned when he heard this: "Taosha gold?"
Wei Qi nodded and said, "Our Nansha River will be renamed Jinsha River in the future. That person built a battlefield to make gold."
Su Yu couldn't help but say, "Will Nansha River contain gold? Are they true or false?"
Wei Qi said: "It should be true. Some time ago, someone went down the river to clean the sand gold, but he was quickly driven away. He said that the entire river section had been contracted. Anyone who wanted to clean the sand gold had to pay additional money to complete the procedures, and even the people from Nansha Village could not do it."
Su Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Doesn't this mean that there may be gold mines on the cofferdam?"
The main source of Nansha River is the cofferdam. Several large tributaries are within the cofferdam. The upper reaches of the river section in Hehui County, Nansha, are almost all in the cofferdam. Since the river sand in the lower reaches contain gold, it goes without saying that the gold mine is within the cofferdam.
Wei Qi said: "You are not slow to react. It's not that there may be gold mines, but that there are indeed ones. It's just that they have been mining on a small scale. It's just that outsiders don't know. In recent years, the township head of the cofferdam has been changing like a lantern, which actually has a lot to do with this."
Zhang Bo added next to him: "Wei Qin works in the county economic committee and is well-informed."
Wei Qin is Wei Qi, Wei San is Wei Jing, but everyone is used to calling nicknames or rankings. Rare names are rarely mentioned. Wei Qin is also mentioned less because he has worked in the county.
Su Yu grew up in the cofferdam and dared not say anything, but there are few places he hasn't been to before. Hearing this, he couldn't help asking: "Brother Qi, where is the gold mine in the cofferdam? Why have I never heard of it?"
Wei Qi said: "No one can tell which places have gold mines now, but the upper reaches of Nansha River have almost been contracted in sections by the village. In addition, Niu Beiliang was contracted for fifty years a few years ago, and in fact he was opening a gold mine."
Su Yu said "Oh" and said, "Niubeiliang, it is the territory of Chaijiagou and one of the main sources of Nansha River. I didn't expect that there was still a gold mine, and I don't know what the taste is... Well, Brother Qi, how did they deal with the pollution?"
Wei Qi was stunned for a moment when he heard this and said, "Pollution? I don't seem to have heard of it... There are less than 4,000 people in the township of cofferyanping, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. Even if there is pollution, I'm afraid I can't see it for the time being?"
Su Yu sighed: "The current alchemy technology is backward, especially this small-scale private mining. Whether it is mercury mixed or cyanide refining, the pollution is very terrifying. Not to mention the cofferdam, how many people eat river water on both sides of the middle and lower reaches of the Nansha River? If there is really gold mining on it, the village will consider digging deep wells and can't eat river water anymore."
Gao Dazhuang patted his head and said loudly: "No wonder Nansha River can't catch fish now, and even a crab can't even find a hair! It turns out that they are all caused by digging gold mines!"
Wei Qi said: "Don't be foolish all day, wait until you figure it out, so as not to cause trouble for those people."
Su Yu also nodded: "It's okay, I'm going to go back to the cofferdam square soon. Let's see what the situation is."
Zhang Bo said: "The key now is that the cemetery will be leveled soon. You have to find a Feng Shui treasure land for Teacher Su as soon as possible."
Su Yu pondered for a moment and said, "It's better not to be late. Huixian County does not have a serious cemetery. If you don't have it, just find a place in the cofferdam. There are beautiful mountains and rivers there, and there are many places."
Wei Qi said, "Don't go ahead, the cofferdam is high and the road is far away. It's really inconvenient. Do you know Qingxiu Mountain? It has been renamed Qinglongling. Someone has built a public cemetery there. It's just not long before, so there are not many people who know it. The feng shui there is also good. Just buy a cemetery for Teacher Su in Qinglongling."
Su Yu really knew Qingxiu Mountain, so hesitated and said, "It's okay, I'll go to Qinglongling to have a look first."
