Chapter 1230 Control group in the 1990s (39)

 After that day, Xu Yin came to the hospital to visit Jiang Nianchen every day, giving him some soup and water to moisten his lungs, and also brought him a few picture books to relieve his boredom.

Xu Xiao ran to the hospital as soon as school was over and lay beside the bed telling little brother Jiang about interesting things that happened in school.

Jiang Nianchen’s parents are still angry after getting divorced. If you don’t come to the hospital, I won’t come either. I didn’t give birth to my son, so why should I come alone?

The head nurse made a special trip to Jiang's house for this purpose. She felt that parents should not go so far as to leave their children in the hospital without even visiting them.

 When she went, only the mistress was at home, and the man had moved out after the divorce.

The hostess sat in the mess, crying until her eyes were swollen to slits: "Nian Chen, Nian Chen, what he was thinking about was not the morning when we met at all, but that bitch! There was a word "morning" in that bitch's name... When I thought of it, He named his son because he missed that bitch, which makes me sick!”

“So you don’t even want your son?” The head nurse shook her head, “The child is innocent after all.”

"But I really can't face him... Wuwuwu... When I see him, when I think of his name, I feel sick, sick..." She burst into tears, crying heartbreakingly.

Finally, it was Jiang Nianchen’s grandparents who came all the way from Shenzhen to discharge their grandson from the hospital.

 A few days later, Jiang Nianchen came to Xu's house to say goodbye. With red eyes, he said that he was going to transfer to Shencheng.

 “Jiang Jiang, I can’t bear to leave you.”

 “I can’t bear to leave you either.”

 The two little boys hugged each other and cried until their hearts broke.

Xu Yin's eyes were hot and she wanted to cry and laugh. She took out a handkerchief and wiped their faces. Then she took them to have a meal at Grandpa Ken, which had just opened in the city center. After eating, she took them to the bookstore and picked out a set of books for them. Brother Jiang, I would like to encourage you.

 “Sister, I will miss you.”

Jiang Nianchen looked at Xu Yin with red eyes.

Poor like a homeless puppy.

Xu Yin touched his head with pity: "If you have something to do, write to my sister."

"good!"

“Hey, Jiang Jiang, why didn’t you say you missed me?”

Xu Xiao held up an ice cream, squeezed in between the two of them, took a sip of the ice cream and said:

 “I’m going to miss you, brother!”

 “You are my best and best brother!”

 “We will be good brothers for life, right?”

 “I will miss you forever…suck-”

 The ice cream melted and he had no time to speak...

　　　…”

After Jiang Nianchen left, Xu Xiao was listless for several days and couldn't even get up the energy to box on Sundays.

Xu Yin was thinking about where to take him to play.

　　That day when I went to pick up my younger brother from school, I heard many workers on the road talking about the closure of the iron ore plant.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die! I'm really going to be laid off this time. It's useless to pay to protect my job. The factory leaders are just asking for their own blessings."

"What's going on? Isn't it said that we are changing the system?" "What kind of system change! The iron ore has been dug out. I heard that superior cadres came to inspect. The mine is bare, there is nothing left to dig, and the water seeping out of the bottom of the mine is... It has become a lake, and if we continue to support it, we will still lose money, so we will just issue a document and let it close!"

 “Ouch! What can we do?”

Xu Yin instantly remembered the plot of the original text. Is this when the iron ore plant closed down?

Then I'm afraid it's not very quiet in Tongzilou these days.

Ma Chunfang and his wife had a good business day and the shop closed early. They brought home a basket of wild eels bought by a farmer to feed their two children. They also talked about this at the dinner table.

"I heard that the iron ore has been dug out and turned into a waste mining area. The leaders are trying to find a way to transfer it to another factory. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the employees." Xu Wu sighed as he took a sip of wine.

"From this point of view, the first batch of laid-off workers are the least disadvantaged." Ma Chunfang said happily. "At that time, there was compensation, but now there is nothing. At that time, there were few people setting up stalls, and doing business was easy to make money. Now you see The morning and evening markets are full of stalls, and more people are selling than buying.”

“You don’t blame me and my daughter for buying a house behind your back now, do you?” Xu Wuyi chuckled.

Ma Chunfang gave him a piece of fried eel with green onions in a funny way: "It won't stop your mouth even if you eat it."

When it comes to housing reform, Ma Chunfang patted her chest in fear: "It's a shame you two made your own decisions at that time, otherwise we wouldn't know where to rent a house now. Now the factory is closing, and those employee families who have not bought a house will not receive compensation. If you don’t have money to buy a house, you’ll probably have to rent a house outside, and the rent of private housing seems to be going up!”

Xu Wu took a sip of wine: "When I came back just now, Lao Liu talked with me for a few words, saying that although the mining area was abandoned, the shacks where the miners lived when they were on duty had not been demolished, and many people were there. I want to know what to do with the shack, maybe I want to move there."

"How can you live in a shack in a mining area for a long time? I went there to see you when you were in the mine in the early years. It was very damp inside and outside the shack. In the past two years, I heard that the seepage water at the bottom of the mine has turned into a lake. The moisture must be heavier. After a long time, you will get rheumatism. You have forgotten our little Yao who was upstairs in the past. He is from the south of his hometown. He likes to lie on the cool mud floor in the sweltering summer. He got rheumatism at a young age. When it comes to rainy days, he complains of joint pain and can't walk. Road. So you must not live in a shack."

Xu Xiao, who was engrossed in eating eel fried with green onions, raised his head and asked, "Mom, are there any fish in the lake in the mine?"

“How do I know this? I haven’t been there since the lake was created.” Ma Chunfang said, “Even if there were any, they would have been taken away by miners long ago.”

"Huh?" Xu Xiao looked disappointed, "I still want to go fishing. Jiang Jiang said that he went fishing with his father when he was five years old. I have never fished before at this age."

Xu Yin thought for a while and said: "Then my sister will take you to the Mine Lake to play this Sunday?"

 Xu Xiao became interested: "Okay! I'll make a fishing rod."

 “Can you also make fishing rods?”

"What's so difficult about this? Isn't it just a bamboo pole and a small iron hook? Jiang Jiang told me."

Xu Yin raised her eyebrows. It seemed that Little Brother Jiang had a great influence on his younger brother.

 In the blink of an eye, Sunday came, and Xu Yin took her younger brother for an outing to an abandoned mining area.

Ma Chunfang and his wife couldn’t figure it out: The abandoned mining area is bare and dirty, what’s so fun about it?

But they were busy doing business and had no time to take care of their children. If their son didn't come to make trouble for them, everything would be fine.

Over there, Xu Yin rode a bicycle and drove her younger brother to an abandoned mine not far from the factory.

The underground water that seeped out of the mine pit over the years has indeed formed a lake. The area is not small, and the depth is not shallow.

 Xu Xiao saw the lake, opened his arms and ran over happily.

 Xu Yin felt a little heavy.

 The mines that used to be continuous have now been developed to the point where only an empty shell remains, with the soil desertified and no grass growing. Except for the lake in the mine, everything around was deserted.

  【Ding—The mines are green again and harmonious between you and me! Every acre of abandoned mining land restored to green will be rewarded with 500 energy points; every 100 acres of abandoned mine land will be rewarded with a vacation in the small world. What are you waiting for? Take action now! 】

 Xu Yin: “…”
