Ji Xia frowned and looked at Xiang Yang, "Back then, it was agreed that Qin Xinyao would marry you, right?"
Xiang Yang didn't know what Ji Xia meant by this question, so he had to tell the truth, "Yes, her mother had originally agreed to marry Qiu Xiuli to me. Qiu Xiuli didn't want to, so her mother said to marry her to me. I had no choice but to agree."
Xiangyang pointed at Qin Xinyao.
This was the first time Qin Xinyao knew about this, and it would be a lie to say that she didn't feel any regret.
"Since Qin Xinyao is marrying you as your wife, I hope she will just be your wife. I don't ask you to treat her well, but I don't want anything that goes against ethics and morality to happen. Do you understand what I mean?" Ji Xia said sternly.
Although she hated Qin Xinyao and hoped that she would be punished, the G wife thing was a humiliation to women, which Ji Xia hated deeply. Even if it happened to Qin Xinyao, she would not want it to happen.
It was common knowledge in the entire Zhuzhuang Brigade that Qin Xinyao was G's wife. Even decades later, this situation still existed in many poor and backward marginal mountainous areas.
Everyone knows what Ji Xia is talking about that is unethical.
Xiangyang shuddered, cold sweat rolling down his forehead, "Yes!"
Ji Xia turned to the team leader and the secretary and said, "This is a new society. Even in feudal society, things like this rarely happened. What happened here is simply a discredit to the new society. If I hear of such a thing again, I will definitely report it."
There were several people standing behind the Xiang family's gate, eavesdropping.
Ji Xia also believed that they all heard it, and perhaps did not take it seriously, but Ji Xia did not care, since the team leader and the village party secretary were there anyway.
The village party secretary glared at Xiangyang fiercely and quickly assured him, "Comrade, we will definitely keep a close eye on this and won't let this happen again."
Ji Xia had no interest in playing Landlord. She always felt that killing was not enough and there was no need to humiliate a person's personality.
Qin Xinyao saw her about to leave and rushed over to hug Ji Xia's legs, "Ji Xia, please save me, please forgive me, just let me go and I will never dare to do that again!"
"Qin Xinyao, when did you ever see the way back?" Ji Xia was a little amused.
"Back then, you were determined to humiliate Grandpa and the entire Qin family just to join your family. Now you have got what you wanted, and we are all happy for you. Enjoy the life your mother has arranged for you."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Xiangyang, who quickly grabbed her and dragged her into the courtyard.
Ji Xia took one last look at her and met her resentful gaze. He smiled slightly, not caring at all, and walked up the mountain.
There are a lot of spruce, pine and fir trees here, which are good materials for making fluff pulp. Fluff pulp is hydrophilic and can quickly capture liquid, making it the main raw material for making sanitary napkins.
After Ji Xia finished her inspection, she had a plan in mind. She said to the team leader and the village party secretary, "If we build a fluff pulp factory here, the most important thing is to ensure hygiene standards and cleanliness. It has to be spotless, without any mosquitoes or dirt. Can you do that?"
The team leader and the village party secretary's eyes lit up. What a joke! We have to do it even if we can't!
The two of them quickly expressed their opinions.
Ji Xia naturally wouldn't believe this kind of confident statement, but he wouldn't deny them a chance either. "I won't tell you what benefits it can bring to the village, but I want to make it clear what the disadvantages are.
Because they use fir and spruce trees as raw materials, once the factory opens, the trees will need to be cut down. Large-scale felling will undoubtedly cause environmental damage to your village and surrounding villages. Heavy rains could cause mudslides, and it's hard to predict what other disasters might occur over time. I hope you can guarantee that you'll replant as many trees as you cut down. Can you commit to this?"
After hearing this, the four people looked at Ji Xia with shock in their eyes.
They didn't expect that Ji Xia would think so long-term for them. The village was theirs, and the natural environment here was also theirs. They themselves didn't think of cherishing it, but Ji Xia did.
Is this the difference between one brain and another?
No, there is also a pattern!
"You must know that these mountains and these trees are left to us by our ancestors. We cannot leave a bare mountain for future generations. You may live off the mountain now, but once the trees on the mountain are gone, what will our children and grandchildren eat in the future?"
Tears welled up in the eyes of the village Party Secretary. "Comrade Ji, we promise you that in the future, we will plant as many trees as we cut down, or even double that number. If we purchase trees from surrounding villages, we will also make the same request. We will never leave a bare mountain for our descendants. We will leave it to them the same way it was before."
Historically, China's industrial development has taken off, but the environment has paid a heavy price.
Just like the foggy city in history, the industrial revolution in Eagle Country also caused great damage to the environment.
Ji Xia did want to promote industrial development, but she didn't want to leave her descendants with a sky without stars, smoggy weather that made it impossible to have physical education classes, and a natural environment that was so devastated that the Siberian tigers could only be seen in the zoo.
After coming down from the mountain, the team leader invited Ji Xia to his home for dinner. It was already time for dinner, and Ji Xia was hungry, so she asked someone to call Zhang Hongqi and stayed at the team leader's house for dinner.
The team leader's wife is named Zhang Guihua. The villagers are used to calling her Aunt Guihua. She is a little older than Xie Sufen. She is not tall and thin, but she treats people sincerely and her cooking skills are very good in the village.
A bowl of braised rabbit, a pot of braised chicken with potatoes, a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks, Spanish mackerel dumplings, and two plates of vegetarian dishes. It is not rich, but it is definitely the best food available here.
The portions were generous.
The captain's family has many people, four sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter is married, the third son has married, the eldest son has two sons and a daughter, the second son has two sons, and the youngest son just got married and his wife is pregnant.
In this way, there are more than ten people in the family, plus the team leader and his parents are still alive, so the family has quite a lot of people.
Ji Xia took two pounds of egg cakes, one pound of White Rabbit milk candy, two pounds of hard candy, and two pounds of brown sugar from the car and handed them to the team leader. Aunt Guihua refused to take them, and Ji Xia didn't feel comfortable eating other people's food for free.
The things she gave were quite large in portion, and because the dumplings were made of pure white flour, for a rural family at that time, it meant that the whole family was working together to entertain her.
There was only the team leader at the table. Even his sons were not qualified to sit at the table. They all ate in the kitchen. As for what they ate, Ji Xia didn't know, but it was definitely not white flour dumplings.
In this way, Ji Xia seemed to have no choice but to set up the fluff pulp production line here, which even seemed a bit like moral kidnapping, but Ji Xia did not object to this practice.
It would be disgusting if someone used the food they saved to kidnap her, but if the purpose was not for themselves but for the villagers, Ji Xia would be willing to deal with such village cadres.
