Rebirth 1978, Wife, I won't go back to the city

"That's fine, that's fine..."

When Zhang Zhenming heard Li Jingshen's words, he immediately smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

The pig farm has become one of the things he cares about most, so he couldn't let it go and had to come and ask Li Jingshen in person.

Now that he had received Li Jingshen's personal guarantee, he decided not to stay any longer and prepared to leave.

"Uncle, please stay and have a meal before you leave!"

"No, no! I just came to ask you. If it really doesn't work, I can just raise black pigs. Since you can handle these things, then I'm relieved!"

Zhang Zhenming shook his head and waved his hands repeatedly, without saying anything more, and hurriedly turned and left.

Looking at Zhang Zhenming's back, Li Jingshen couldn't help laughing and shook his head slightly.

He knew what Zhang Zhenming was worried about. Landrace pigs were a breed of pig that Zhang Zhenming had never seen before, so he was definitely worried.

Whether it is Xiaoxi Village or other villages, black pigs have always been raised.

Now Li Jingshen insisted on changing to raising long white pigs. Zhang Zhenming agreed on the surface, but he was still a little uneasy in private.

If Li Jingshen had not achieved so many things, Zhang Zhenming would never have agreed to raise Landrace pigs.

It was because it was Li Jingshen who made the request that Zhang Zhenming agreed to this decision.

"Who's coming?"

Jiang Xue walked out of the room and asked curiously.

"It's my uncle!"

"What's wrong with him?"

"It's nothing serious. I just came to ask about the pig farm and then I'll go back!"

Jiang Xue said "oh" and didn't ask any further questions.

Things like the pig farm have nothing to do with her, and she doesn't need to get involved.

She walked into the kitchen, poured Li Jingshen a cup of hot tea and placed it on Li Jingshen's table.

Li Jingshen had already started translating. Seeing the steaming tea beside him, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Yesterday I talked to Director Xu of the Water Conservancy Bureau. He said he wanted to invite you to work there. I even asked him for two more places so that my brother and sister-in-law could go too!"

"what?"

Jiang Xue was a little nervous and said uncomfortably, "But I don't know anything about water conservancy. How can I get a job here?"

Li Jingshen chuckled and explained, "Don't worry. We're not asking you to do anything too professional. At most, you'll just walk around the reservoirs and look for leaks. Most of the time, you'll be sitting in the office. It doesn't matter whether you have professional knowledge or not. You're just extraneous staff anyway."

"That's it..."

Jiang Xue thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay then! Since my elder brother and his wife are with me, I'm not afraid anymore. They..."

Just as Jiang Xue was speaking, there was a loud noise outside.

"what happened?"

After hearing the noise outside, Li Jingshen and Jiang Xue looked at each other and immediately stood up and walked outside.

When they came to the road outside, they saw that the people in the village were all running in one direction in panic.

"Uncle Liu! What happened?"

Li Jingshen saw an old man in his fifties passing by and immediately reached out to grab him.

Uncle Liu quickly explained, "It seems a child ran out to play in the water and fell into the river. Everyone rushed over to save him!"

"what?!"

Li Jingshen's expression changed slightly.

The child fell into the river?

The Fujiang Reservoir had just released water, and the water levels in several rivers near Xiaoxi Village were at their highest.

If you fall into the river under such circumstances, it will probably be very dangerous!

Li Jingshen immediately pulled Jiang Xue and followed Uncle Liu towards the scene of the accident.

There are several rivers near Xiaoxi Village where children go swimming every summer.

These children have no sense of safety and only seek momentary pleasure, which can easily lead to accidents.

Almost every year there are news reports of children drowning in rivers, as if it has become a common practice.

In order to prevent these children from swimming in the river, the adults deliberately made up horror stories about water ghosts in the river to scare these children!

Although such horror stories have indeed greatly reduced the number of children drowning, there are still some brave and naughty children who go swimming in the river without telling their parents.

In this era, every family has several children, and some families even have seven or eight.

Parents need to go to the fields to do farm work and have no time to look after these children.

It was not until she found out that her child had drowned in the river that she cried heart-wrenchingly and felt filled with regret!

But what's the use?

When Li Jingshen and Jiang Xue arrived at the river, they found that everyone who could come from the village had come.

Several strong men were fishing in the river, trying to find the drowned child.

However, the Fujiang Reservoir had just released water, and the water level had not only reached its highest point, but was also extremely turbulent.

In such a harsh situation, it is definitely not an easy task to rescue a drowning child.

"Why are you still crying here?"

"Why don't you tell me quickly, where did he sink?"

An old man in his sixties glared at the children in front of him and asked angrily.

These children were only about ten years old, and all of them were shirtless and had nothing on from the waist down.

They stood in front of the old man, all trembling and pale with fear.

One of the little boys, about eleven or twelve, raised his hand and pointed at the river not far away. He trembled all over and cried, "Over there! Just now we saw him splashing in the water and thought he was just joking with us, but he soon became silent, so we ran to call for help..."

Hearing the little boy's words, Li Jingshen's heart sank and he sighed silently.

Since he has been drowning for such a long time, there is definitely no chance of survival!

Now they can only try their best to retrieve the body and at least give an explanation to the child's family.

Pfft!

A dull sound of someone entering the water was heard, and a woman jumped into the river not far away without hesitation.

"Aunt Yu jumped into the river! Everyone come and save her!" someone cried for help.

Immediately, several figures jumped into the turbulent river and dragged Aunt Yu ashore.

"My son!"

Aunt Yu cried and wailed, feeling extremely distressed. She kept struggling and wanted to jump into the river again.

But the people around her held her tightly, not giving her any chance to jump into the river.

Several aunties also ran up and tried to persuade and comfort Aunt Yu earnestly.

Jiang Xue stood beside Li Jingshen, leaned close to his ear, and whispered softly, "Do you know Aunt Yu?"

"I really don't have any impression..."

Li Jingshen shook his head slightly.

There are hundreds or even thousands of people in the village. It is impossible for him to know all of them. He can only know them roughly.
