under the foggy mountain

Chapter 8

When Sun Chengye returned to Zhangshu Bay, he saw Zhou Yunyi sitting under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree from a distance, got out of the car and walked towards Zhou Yunyi.Sun Chengye looked up at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. There were clusters of small golden flowers blooming on the huge tree, and the fragrance of the flowers was very fragrant.

Zhou Yunyi was full of white hair, sitting facing the Qingjiang River, quietly watching the rushing river, Sun Chengye walked over slowly, and called softly: "Secretary Zhou, sit here."

Zhou Yunyi turned around and saw Sun Chengye with a happy smile on his face. He pointed to a chair next to him and said happily: "Ah, Chengye, the meeting is over! Come, sit here."

Zhou Yunyi thought the house was noisy, so he sent someone to move a small square table and some chairs under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and sat here for a long time.Sun Chengye walked over and sat down.

Zhou Yunyi smiled and said, "Success, does it smell good?"

Sun Chengye said with a smile: "It's fragrant! You can smell it as soon as you enter the bay. It's so fragrant!"

"I smelled the fragrance of flowers in the morning, but it's not as fragrant as it is now. Look, the osmanthus flowers are all in bloom." A breeze came, and the fragrance of the flowers became more intense and refreshing. Zhou Yunyi closed his eyes and said, "Oh, it's so good!"

Sun Chengye also closed his eyes to feel the fragrance of the flowers, smelling and smelling, he felt a burst of relief in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so comfortable."

After a while, Zhou Yunyi smiled and said: "Chengye, do you know? This sweet-scented osmanthus tree is more than a hundred years old. Every August, the whole bay of Zhangshu Bay is fragrant. Some people also say that the yellow bridge on the other side The whole town can smell the fragrance of this flower."

After hearing this, Sun Chengye opened his eyes and laughed, "Secretary Zhou, I don't know if Huangqiao Town can smell the fragrance of this flower. I know we can smell it in Jiangwan. Haha..."

Zhou Yunyi followed suit and laughed, and slowly, he suppressed his smile, looked at the tumbling water in Qingjiang River, and said: "It has been raining for a few days, and the water in Qingjiang River has swelled. It’s not as sweet as the sweet-scented osmanthus.”

Sun Chengye knew what Zhou Yunyi was thinking, so he didn't say anything.

After the completion of the Sun's Paper Industry, the production and sales were booming, and it was an instant hit, which caused a great sensation. Wushan Village and Zhou Yunyi became a model for the development of industrial production in the whole county. For this reason, the local government held an on-site meeting on the development of industrial production in Wushan Village, Huangqiao Town. Secretary Liu of the Party Committee of Huangqiao Town and Zhou Yunyi of Wushan Village made typical speeches on behalf of the town and village.At the on-site meeting, the main leaders of the county also asked Sun's Paper to increase capacity and expand production, and Zhou Yunyi accepted this task with confidence.

However, on the day just after the on-site meeting ended, Sun Yiming came to Zhou Yunyi's house solemnly and told him that the sewage treatment of the paper factory was not up to standard.If this continues for another year or so, Qinxi will definitely be polluted, and the farmland and groundwater around the paper mill will be affected. He explained the pollution formation process to Zhou Yunyi in detail.Zhou Yunyi still remembers Sun Yiming’s description of the terrible consequences of pollution if it becomes a reality: the water quality of Qinxi and Qingjiang will deteriorate sharply, and even stinky ditches will form in the dry season; the groundwater cannot be drunk; the crops on the surrounding cultivated land will not grow well, and large-scale production will be reduced... …

Before liberation, Sun Yiming studied in Wuhan, Hubei, where he majored in chemical engineering. After liberation, he worked in a chemical research institute in the provincial capital.In Zhou Yunyi's heart, Sun Yiming exists like a god.Hearing what Sun Yiming said, Zhou Yunyi became worried, and quickly asked Sun Yiming what to do.

Sun Yiming told him that if Sun's Paper strictly follows the production and sewage treatment procedures and does not increase capacity and expand production, the existing ecosystems of Qinxi, Qingjiang and Wushan can balance the pollution generated by the paper mill.

Zhou Yunyi became anxious when he heard that, and told Sun Yiming that the county asked them to increase capacity and expand production. He stated at the on-site meeting that he must do a good job in implementing the article, and the work of increasing capacity and expanding production will begin in the next stage.

Sun Yiming told Zhou Yunyi that now he is worried that this is not the case, but that the manufacturing process of recycled paper is relatively simple. After the success of Sun’s Paper Industry, it will have a demonstration and driving effect. In the future, many paper factories will definitely pop up around Zhangshuwan. Once this happens , that horrible pollution scenario will become a reality.

Hearing that Sun Yiming was not worried about the expansion of Sun's paper industry but the emergence of new paper mills, Zhou Yunyi smiled, knowing that Sun Yiming already had a solution in mind.He patted his chest and assured Sun Yiming that during his tenure as branch secretary, he would never go to a new paper mill again, and then asked for a solution.After hearing this, Sun Yiming looked at Zhou Yunyi and didn't speak for a long time.Sun Yiming didn't speak out until Zhou Yunyi repeatedly asked for the current remedial measures for the sewage treatment of Sun's paper industry.

Sun Yiming's solution is to transform the river beach on the west bank of Qinxi River, which is about [-] meters wide, to the Qingjiang River, which is more than two miles long, into an ecological wetland: first, make it layer by layer In the terraced fields, [-] cm thick pebbles are spread on the bottom layer, and mud is planted on the top to plant aquatic plants. After the plants survive and grow, the waste water from Sun's Paper Industry is discharged directly into the Qinxi River, and it is instead discharged into this river beach wetland. , filtered and then flowed into Qingjiang.Sun Yiming said that after this transformation, at least ten years later, even if the production scale of Sun's Paper Industry is doubled, there will be no pollution.

Zhou Yunyi was very happy and asked Zhou Changming to invite Sun Chengye. After calculation, the renovation project cost nearly 30 yuan.Zhou Yunyi was shocked when he saw this figure, how could he get so much money!This is [-] times the total amount of withdrawals and reservations handed over by Wushan Village in one year!Seeing that Zhou Yunyi was in a hurry, Sun Yiming proposed two points: one is to suspend the capacity expansion of Sun's Paper Industry, and the other is to formulate a wetland construction plan as soon as possible to win support from the county and town levels and start construction in recent years.Zhou Yunyi thought that was the only way to go.

After discussing the matter, Zhou Yunyi left Sun Yiming and his son to eat, moved out a jar of grain wine that he had brewed and stored for 20 years, poured a glass and handed it to Sun Yiming.During the banquet, Sun Yiming said something that shocked Zhou Yunyi: This is the land left by our ancestors to our descendants, and it cannot be destroyed in our hands!

Sure enough, it didn't take long for something to happen.

In August and September, some villagers in Zhangshuwan developed some red spots on their hands and feet after working in the paddy fields. Many people had mild reactions and were able to apply some medicine, but five or six people felt itchy and unbearable, so they went to the village clinic. Seeing a doctor, the doctor said that it was caused by the sewage discharged from the paper mill. Later, it was found that some paddy fields near the paper mill were not growing well. The villagers invited technicians from the town agricultural technology station to conduct an appraisal.Those villagers approached the Murakami Washi Mill and asked for an explanation.Zhou Yunyi and the town and village cadres have done a lot of work to raise funds to compensate some villagers and polluted paddy fields. Sun's Paper has optimized the sewage discharge equipment and improved the discharge procedures.In the winter of that year, Wushan Village started the renovation project of the Qinxi River Beach, and after a winter of hard work, the ecological wetland construction project was completed.Since then, Sun's Paper's environmental protection issues have never appeared again.

Zhou Yunyi turned his head, glanced at Sun Chengye, and said, "Chengye, you didn't pay 20 yuan that year, and the Qinxi Ecological Wetland can't be built yet!"

Sun Chengye hurriedly said: "Secretary Zhou, it was mainly because you organized the whole village to participate in the construction that the project was completed."

Zhou Yunyi stopped talking, and his thoughts returned to the fiery wetland construction site.After a while, he sighed, and said again: "I'm sorry for your grandfather! I didn't keep what I said! In fact, your grandfather didn't believe it at the time! Now there are so many paper factories in Zhangshuwan, under the bridge of Qinxi River That water like hogwash... Alas! Thinking of your grandfather, I have been regretting it all the time. If I knew this would happen, I shouldn't have brought you back in the first place. If you don't come back, there won't be these factories by the Qingjiang River. This Paper mills shouldn't be involved!"

Sun Chengye said: "Secretary Zhou, don't say that, these problems are not your responsibility now! Besides, Wushan Village is now the wealthiest village in Huangqiao Town. If you hadn't laid this foundation, Wushan Village would not be like this! "

Zhou Yunyi waved his hand at him and said, "Chengye, don't talk about it. Your master is right, you can't ruin this land for this money!"

At this time, a young man who looked very much like Zhou Weiming came out of the house and shouted at Zhou Yunyi: "Daddy! Come in."

Seeing that Sun Chengye was there, the young man smiled and called out, "Mr. Sun."

Sun Chengye said with a smile: "Zhou Chong, you have also come back to celebrate your father's birthday."

Zhou Chong is the son of Zhou Changming, who worked as a tour guide in Shenzhen after graduating from university.

Zhou Yunyi looked at Zhou Chong with a smile, his eyes showed affection, and said: "Since last year, he has come back every once in a while. This time, he has been back for more than a month. He brought a few people with him, saying that he was visiting Wushan and Xiangshuixi, understand tourism resources.”

Zhou Yunyi stood up tremblingly while speaking.Seeing this, Zhou Chong trotted over, supported Zhou Yunyi with Sun Chengye, walked slowly across the road, came to the door of the main room, and entered the house.
