Chapter 171 Abnormalities in the Natural Water Plant
Long-lasting pictures emerged one after another, about her biological father, about Xiao's teahouse, and finally the tears of grandma holding her and crying fell on her shoulders drop by drop. The burning feeling at that time seemed to
It appeared faintly again.
"Is grandma okay?"
Yu Yanyan thought of her grandma, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but evoke a warm arc.
"Grandma has passed away."
"……Yeah?"
The smile on Yu Yanyan's lips suddenly froze before it fully bloomed.
"when?"
"The year before last."
"Grandma has always been thinking about you and worrying about how well you are doing."
Yu Yanyan's eyes were a little moist, "I'm living a good life, but I haven't seen you for the last time..."
"Cousin, if you have time one day, go burn incense sticks for grandma and uncle."
Xiao Xiao looked at Yu Yanyan quietly, and did not speak again until the other party's mood had almost calmed down.
"Uh-huh."
Yu Yanyan's voice was low, hoarse, and tinged with sobs.
"Grandma and uncle will be very happy to see my cousin."
Xiao Xiao curled his lips slightly at his cousin.
"Um."
Yu Yanyan couldn't help but laugh.
…
"Cousin, are you back from get off work now?"
"No, I'm in graduate school."
"Dad, well, it's just..."
Yu Yanyan was a little flustered.
"I know."
Xiao Xiao motioned for Yu Yanyan to follow, and the two of them walked towards the street.
It's rush hour after get off work, so it's not appropriate for the two of them to stand at the intersection all the time.
Yu Yanyan was stunned for a moment, but soon started laughing again.
"I just came back from the natural water plant where my father works."
"What happened?"
Xiao Xiao noticed Yu Yanyan's slightly frowned brows and the faint worry in her eyes.
"Um?"
"You are really as smart as you were when you were a child." The worry in Yu Yanyan's eyes faded, and there was a sense of nostalgia.
"?"
Now Xiao Xiao was a little confused.
"I remember when you were a child, you were just a little kid, but you were very old-fashioned. You were not at all playful and noisy like other children of the same age."
"Have you ever been in the second semester of high school?"
Yu Yanyan asked curiously.
"Then have you ever been in the second semester of high school?"
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Pfft~haha~"
After staring at each other in silence for a while, the two finally laughed together.
It seems that the strangeness of ten years has been eliminated a lot, and the distance between them has also been shortened a lot.
…
"What happened?"
Xiao Xiao asked the previous question again.
There was still a smile on Yu Yanyan's face, but when she said this, there was worry in her eyes.
"My father is a technician at a natural water plant. Last night, the pipe connecting the sedimentation tank in the water plant was blocked and water could not enter. My father and several other technicians went to check, but found nothing.
"
"The pipe mouth is obviously empty, but the water source seems to be blocked by something and cannot enter smoothly."
"Dad and the others also suspected that there was something wrong with the pipeline."
"But after inspection, there was no problem with the pipeline."
"They even had no other choice but to change the pipeline."
"The situation has not improved at all."
"Although the water plant has more than one water inlet pipe, this unexplained situation gives the water plant quite a headache."
"Because they're not sure if other water pipes will have the same problem."
"So, my dad came back very late yesterday, and he has to work overtime until very late again today."
"Even though I stayed so late, my father was at a loss as to what to do. He has been looking gloomy for the past two days."
"My mother was worried about him, so she asked me to go and take a look. She also brought food to my father and asked me to watch him eat the food before going back."
Yu Yanyan shook the lunch box in his hand slightly.
"However, if the cause of the pipe problem is not found out, dad will not be able to rest peacefully for a day."
"I've looked there too, but there's obviously nothing there."
"Why does it look like it's blocked by something?"
Yu Yanyan's face was full of confusion. This thing was really strange. "It's like bumping into a ghost." She murmured in a low voice.
"Maybe it's true..." He was confused.
Xiao Xiao had a thoughtful look on his face, with a slight wave of excitement in his eyes.
"Huh?" Yu Yanyan didn't hear the last few words Xiao Xiao said clearly, but she didn't care. She just talked and thought Xiao Xiao was joking with her.
Nowadays, science and technology are in power, and the talk of ghosts and gods is just nonsense.
Unlike other girls who have a preference for gods and ghosts, she has always kept a respectful distance from them and has not talked about strange powers and chaos.
She didn't understand why she was so enthusiastic about it even though she knew it was fake.
It's just a waste of time.
…
"Cousin, are you going to the natural water plant tomorrow?"
"You went, what happened?"
"I also want to see the condition of that pipeline."
"Somewhat curious."
"Okay, then meet here at four o'clock tomorrow and I will take you there."
When Yu Yanyan heard Xiao Xiao say he was curious, he understood that he wanted to see something strange.
When most people hear such strange things, they would be curious to find out, right?
…
Xiao Xiao kept watching his cousin disappear into the crowd before turning around and walking towards his home.
The sky is dark, and compared to the heat during the day, there is a bit more coolness at sunset.
There was a gentle breeze blowing across my cheeks.
The warm yellow and red afterglow falls on the body, giving it a just-right temperature.
…
After dinner, Xiao Xiao walked into the kitchen, where Xiao's mother was wiping the washed dishes one by one.
Xiao Xiao took the towel from Xiao's mother's hand and motioned to Xiao's mother to hand over the bowl.
"What's wrong?"
When Xiao's mother looked at her son, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes relaxed.
"Mom, I met my cousin today."
Xiao Xiao wiped the dishes in his hands carefully and said somewhat casually.
"cousin?"
"Yan Yan?!" Mother Xiao suddenly reacted after being stunned, and almost dropped the bowl in her hand.
Xiao Xiao's quick eyes and hands quickly caught the bowl that was about to slip out of Xiao's mother's hand.
"Um."
"Really?" Xiao's mother looked a little dazed. When she mentioned Yan Yan, she thought of her brother who died young and her mother who passed away.
That child, she knew, was the one her mother was thinking about when she was dying.
Yes, a child who was so young back then had not yet fully recovered from the pain of losing his father, and had to accept a new father and a new family.
The panic and fear in the child's eyes seemed to still be vivid in his mind.
I still remember that time, the child tightly clenched her mother's and her own hands, with her thin fingers holding them with an almost convulsive strength, as if she was grasping the last duckweed. She could even
I saw the raised veins on the back of the child's pale hands.
"Is she... okay?"
After the initial surprise passed, Xiao's mother calmed down her overly excited emotions. After all, she had not heard from this person for ten years, and she would inevitably lose her temper when she suddenly said that she had met him.
"My cousin is very good, and my uncle... and my aunt are also very good."
Xiao Xiao still subconsciously called out his aunt.
