    ?

    Auntie reached out to take the piece of paper and found that it was a notice posted on the village committee.  The above requires that each household take the initiative to remove the chimney within the specified time, and those who fail to remove the chimney after the time limit will be fined, and the village committee will arrange the removal uniformly.

    "Where did this come from?"

    "Every household in the village has received the notification." Zhou Yangyang said, "Auntie, is this really an order issued by the Environmental Protection Bureau?"

    Aunt put down the notice, "It is indeed an important part of environmental protection to rectify the burning of straw in rural areas, but it is not mandatory for villagers to remove chimneys. This should be a method decided by the village committee."

    "Then can you tell them to withdraw this notice?" Zhou Yangyang asked, "The chimney has many functions, and everyone can't do without it. It's hot now, but when winter comes, there will be no chimney.  If you can¡¯t light a fire, how can you keep warm?¡±

    This question obviously also stumped my aunt.  As a woman who came from the countryside, she is well aware of the problems caused by banning straw burning, but from a long-term perspective, in order to protect the environment, it must be banned.

    "Auntie, just tell them." Fang Xiaoyuan also stepped forward and begged, "The chimney is a symbol of the countryside. Although I only came to live with my grandma occasionally, I used to hate the smell of cooking smoke, but this is very important to everyone.  Very important."

    The aunt sighed, "The Environmental Protection Bureau and the village committee are two unrelated organizations. For us, the most important task is to study how to better protect the environment. After the plan is released, each village will follow its own  circumstances to complete the request, and I have no right to prevent them from doing so."

    After hearing her words, both Fang Xiaoyuan and Zhou Yangyang showed disappointed expressions on their faces.  They all felt that this ride was for nothing.  If even my aunt who works in the Environmental Protection Agency can't solve this problem, no one else can.

    At this moment, things suddenly ushered in a turning point.

    "I can't stop it, but it doesn't mean others can't stop it." My aunt actually said exactly the same thing as Zhou Yangyang, "This is a decision issued by the village committee. If the villagers collectively oppose it, this matter cannot be implemented."

    Zhou Yangyang's eyes lit up, "So, there is still a chance?"

    "There is a chance." Auntie opened the drawer and took out a brochure covered in kraft paper, with the words "Suggestion Book" printed on it.  She handed the opinion book to Zhou Yangyang and said, "Let everyone write their opinions on it, sign their names, and hand it over to the village committee. If it still doesn't work, bring it to me, and I'll find a way."

    After finishing speaking, she stood up, "Let's go, I'll treat you to a hamburger."

    Hearing the word "hamburger", both Fang Xiaoyuan and Zhou Yangyang smiled.  For Zhou Yangyang, a native country boy, eating hamburgers is an unusual thing.  Fang Xiaoyuan, who was not very interested in hamburgers, has been tasting "Grandma's Taste" for a while now, and is thinking of a change.

    They first went to the hamburger shop, then went to the park, cold drink shop and game house, and it was already evening when they returned to the station.  My aunt sent them to the passenger car and waved goodbye.

    "Your aunt is so kind." Sitting in the car, Fang Xiaoyuan said to Zhou Yangyang, "I wish I could have such an aunt."

    Zhou Yangyang grinned, "I also think my aunt is very good, so I have to study hard and become as good as her in the future."

    After dinner, Fang Xiaoyuan and Zhou Yangyang knocked on doors, explaining their purpose of coming and wanting them to leave a message in the opinion book.  But they didn't expect that the villagers who talked against the demolition had a lot of concerns when they really wanted to raise their opinions, and some even turned them away.

    Back at grandma¡¯s house, Fang Xiaoyuan stared at the blank suggestion book and murmured, ¡°This trick doesn¡¯t work at all. They don¡¯t believe what we say, and they won¡¯t do it.¡± She sat on the edge of the kang with her feet dangling  Swinging in the air, pouted his mouth, "Adults are like this, they don't take children's words seriously at all."

    Zhou Yangyang's fingers kept tapping on the table, lost in thought.  After a while, he looked up, "I have an idea."

    "What idea?" Fang Xiaoyuan asked curiously.

    "As you said, they don't believe our words because we are children. If an adult does this, maybe it will be successful."

    Grandma came in with cut fruits, put them on the table, and touched his head, "Your intentions are good, but this matter is not that simple."

    "It's obviously a very simple thing. Everyone disagrees with demolishing the chimney. Now that Zhou Yangyang's aunt has figured out a solution to the problem, they refuse to do it. What does this mean?" Fang Xiaoyuan said for her own efforts.  In vain and feel aggrieved.Grandma smiled, "You are still young, and you don't understand many things."

    Now Xiaoyuan was not happy. She jumped off the edge of the kang, walked up to grandma, and argued, "I'm a child, but it's not unreasonable. As long as you can explain clearly, I can understand you."  .¡±

    "Because everyone doesn't want to confront the village committee." Zhou Yangyang said suddenly, "My mother said the same thing."

    Grandma nodded, "That's it. The village committee is in charge of everything big and small in the village. If you offend them, things will be difficult in the future. No one wants to get out of this first."

    "But don't you want to solve the problem?" Fang Xiaoyuan became anxious.

    "Of course I want to, but just keeping the chimney can't solve the problem." Grandma said, "The prohibition of straw burning is a rigid rule. What everyone really cares about is not whether the chimney can be kept, but how to find a good and cheap alternative."  Straw cooking and heating.¡±

    "I don't care!" Fang Xiaoyuan said loudly, "Anyway, the chimney cannot be dismantled!"

    Grandma didn't expect her reaction to be so strong, and felt very strange, "Didn't you always hate the smell of cooking smoke, saying that it tastes exactly like burnt ribs? Why are you so opposed to demolishing the chimney now?"

    "That's becausebecause" At this point, Fang Xiaoyuan stuttered.

    "Because they were built by the villagers themselves," Zhou Yangyang took over and explained for her, "It contains everyone's hard work and sweat, and it is also a symbol of the village. It should not be demolished because of unreasonable regulations.  He said to Grandma Zhou, "My aunt said that removing the chimney is actually just a cosmetic project, and solving environmental pollution and everyone's living problems is the key."

    "That's difficult." Grandma sighed, "This is an old problem for many years, and it won't be solved in a while."

    Fang Xiaoyuan stood beside her, speechless.  She was very sad to think that she would part with her new friend so soon, and that she might never see her again.

    "There will be a way, there must be." She said to herself.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
