Chapter 144

The whole village is as lively as the Chinese New Year. The children are particularly excited, and the adults are also very happy. Although after dinner, the village head asked the men to talk, expressing some anxiety about the upstream dam.

But now it is the end of autumn, and the flood season of the river has passed. Even if the river dam is broken, there will be no risk of inundation downstream. Everyone is an ordinary villager. Naturally, they can't come up with any results. It's over if they report it to the chief manager at most.

Every family was so happy with so many big fish and small fish that the smell of fish floated in the village the next morning.

There's no way. The fish won't live long from the river, so we still have to clean it up. Dead fish are not delicious, and they can't stay.

Zhou Dalang and his colleagues got up early in the morning, filled the bucket with water, caught the most powerful fish from the tank, and planned to transport them to the county to sell.

Although they have a river here, it is a mountainous area. They rarely see big fish. Zhou Erlang estimates that it should not be too difficult to sell, provided that they have to catch up with others.

Zhou Silang and Friday Lang still have to go to the county to sell ginger. They bring manbao's letter and fried fish. Zhou Wulang also brings a bag of sugar and plans to sell it to Miss Fu Er to increase their income.

The children in the school are carefree. After school, they still want to go to the river to catch another handful of fish. Mr. Zhuang scolded them and looked anxiously at the river that has calmed down.

It can be seen that the current water level is much higher than before. Originally, due to the reduction of rain in late autumn, the water level has fallen and exposed many water and grass roots, but now the top of these water and grass has been submerged.

Mr. Zhuang sighed and didn't know how the county government planned to repair the upstream dam. If you remember correctly, the upstream dam has not been built for more than five years?

It was not the first time that Miss Fu Er received manbao's gift, but it was the first time she received food.

The cold dried fish didn't taste very good. Miss Fu Er pinched one with her handkerchief and took a careful bite. After chewing, she felt good. She handed the box to the girl and asked her to heat it and oil it according to the method written on the treasure paper.

Miss Fu Er opened manbao's letter.

In the letter, man Bao focused on the lively scene of fishing yesterday, and Miss Fu Er watched with interest and envy the wishes of the upstream dam.

At noon, when the magistrate of Fu County returned from the former yam to the backyard for dinner, Miss Fu Er specially assigned half of the dried fish to the table to show her filial piety.

She thought the little fish was crispy after it was dry and hot. It was really delicious.

Fu County Magistrate also thought it was delicious. He ate several mouthfuls in a row and smiled with his wife, "this fish is good. Is it a new dish?"

Mrs. Fu looked at it and said with a smile, "it's not made in the kitchen at home. It's sent to the kitchen by Wen Yun. I don't know what to do?"

"Oh?" County Magistrate Fu looked at his second daughter and asked with a smile, "which store did you buy it from?"

When Fu Wenyun saw that his father liked it, he was also a little happy. He explained, "it wasn't bought, it was sent by my friend."

Fu Wenxuan said, "is it the little girl who sells your candy? She doesn't want to sell you this little fish, so give you some to try first? "

Fu Wenyun was not very happy. The eldest sister mentioned man Bao's tone and said, "man Bao is not that kind of person. She has always said that the fish was caught by their family in the river yesterday, and there is not much. The letter said that it was just sent to me to taste it. It may not be there in the future."

Fu county magistrate was not interested in his daughters' making friends. He nodded perfunctorily and asked casually, "does their family make a living by fishing? Autumn fish is fat. If she has good fish to send home, she can pay as much as she should. "

"No, it's the farmer's family. It's also their good luck. Yesterday, the dam upstream of their village broke and washed down a lot of fish. Their family can catch so many fish."

County Magistrate Fu, who happened to have a bite of rice, immediately choked and coughed violently.

The people on the table were startled. Mrs. Fu hurriedly patted him on the back, "Sir, what's the matter with you?"

Magistrate Fu got stuck in his throat and coughed his eyes red. Fu Wenxuan quickly poured a glass of water for his father.

County Magistrate Fu took the water, coughed violently for a while, grabbed Fu Wenyun's hand and asked with red eyes, "you, what did you say just now?"

Fu Wenyun was only ten years old. He was so frightened that he stammered in his place and asked, "I, I didn't say anything?"

"No, no, where did you catch their fish?"

"River, river..." Fu Wenyun's eyes were filled with tears. Mrs. Fu couldn't help crying, "Sir, what's the matter with you?"

"How can there be fish in the river?"

"Oh, there are no fish in the river. Where is the fish?" Mrs. Fu couldn't help saying.

Fu Wenyun suddenly woke up and said, "they said that the dam of a village was broken, and a lot of river water rushed down, along with fish."

County Magistrate Fu asked, "where is their village?"

"I remember she said it was called Qili Village."

"Qili Village, Qili Village... Isn't that in baimaguan town?" County Magistrate Fu murmured and hurriedly asked, "where is her letter? Did someone say there were casualties, and the good land was flooded..."

Finally, Fu Wenyun gave man Bao's letter to her father.

There are several thick sheets. Man Bao's words have achieved rough results. At least they can be seen. Although the word is still very young in the eyes of county magistrate Fu, he is not in the mood to appreciate the word at the moment.

He read the letter at a glance and was not interested in the description of children's fun. He quickly scanned the four papers and found that the dam upstream was broken only twice. One time was when he described fishing, which showed why there were so many fish in the river in his village. The last time was at the end of the letter, the child made a wish, I hope the upstream dam will be broken again tomorrow, preferably every day, so that they can catch fish every day.

Magistrate Fu:

This is really a bear child from nowhere.

Finally, county magistrate Fu took a roll of the letter and went directly to the front Yamen. That night, county magistrate Fu didn't go home. I heard he went to the countryside.

Man Bao knew nothing about it. He slept soundly in the sound of insects. When he got up the next day, he stretched a little. This morning, she could eat fried fish again.

Man Bao happily washes his face and hands and sits on the table waiting for breakfast.

As a result, her breakfast was brought up. The gong sounded Dangdang outside. Man Bao jumped up and was about to run out. He wanted to join the fun. As a result, he was caught by Xiao Qian's eyes and hands. "What are you doing? Eat and go to school."

Man Bao pointed to the outside and said, "it's beating gongs outside."

"The village head is asking the men in the village to have a meeting. It has nothing to do with you. Hurry to eat and go to school."

Man Bao bowed his head with some regret, and then raised his head and asked, "sister-in-law, is the upstream dam broken again? The elder brother of the village head asked everyone to catch fish?"

Little Qian has a toothache. The age of the village head is not much different from that of his father-in-law. It's just that his generation is younger. Can man Bao not call him brother?

Well, although she should call him brother.
