Chapter 55 The fish pond

Shuanghe Brick Factory opened a kiln and recruited more than a dozen people from the village to work. Although the work is hard, for the villagers of Shuanghe Village, it is really rare to have a job that receives a monthly salary and is close to home. Many people are rushing to get this job.

Yang Baosong and his son were proud again, making the villagers curry favor with each other. For a moment, everyone forgot the embarrassment of Yang Baosong's family not long ago. Yang Baosong's prestige in Shuanghe Village was unparalleled.

In fact, the first and second leaders in the town cannot keep the news of the investment in the brick factory. In addition, Yang Baosong and his son will not keep such a secret. On the contrary, they want to promote it so that everyone knows that their brick factory is supported by the first and second leaders in the town. Others dare to covet his position as the village party secretary.

This made Zhou Yuquan so angry that he stomped his feet in the yard.

"What's the smug Yang Baosong? If my son comes back, the county leaders will have to come over to say hello. My family doesn't like the leaders of the town." Zhou Yuquan said.

When Zhou Yuquan's son Zhou Baoqun came home, the county leaders really came to contact him. However, they were not the first and second leaders of the county, but the cadres of the Luoxi County Investment Promotion Bureau. In order to complete the county's investment promotion tasks, the cadres of the Investment Promotion Bureau used all the efforts. Those who went out in Luoxi County did something outside and all the people who went out to do something outside were summed up by them, running around all over the country to beat the autumn wind of these Luoxi children and lobbying them to return to their hometown to invest.

Among these successful people from Luoxi, Zhou Baoqun is not the most promising person, but he can also be regarded as a number of figures. Therefore, the leaders and minds of Luoxi County cannot get in for the time being, but for the China Merchants Group, he can also be regarded as an important figure.

The cadres of the China Merchants Association once went to Huacheng to fight Zhou Baoqun's autumn wind, and Zhou Baoqun was very polite to these officials in their hometown. Of course, they were mainly worried that their family members would be settled by the officials in the future. When Zhou Baoqun returned to his hometown, he greeted these officials. The cadres of the China Merchants Association also went to Zhou Baoqun's house with reciprocity and supported his face. Of course, Zhou Baoqun could not let them go there for nothing. In the end, everyone got what they needed.

Zhou Yuquan was so angry that he walked to Zhang Dashuan's house.

"Da Shuan, are you angry? Yang Baosong is so arrogant. He blatantly occupied the public land and set up a brick factory. He relied on colluding with Secretary Lin and Mayor Gu in the town, and could do whatever he wanted in the village. Do you know? The last time the cement road in the village was also contracted by Yang Changhua. The contract fee, the county allocated funds, and the village raised funds were all a mess. Look, no one knows whether this road cuts corners or not. When it hits a year or two, the road becomes shabby, and you will know that Yang Changhua is doing a tofu project!" Zhou Yuquan said.

"Yuquan, come to my house and say this is not appropriate. Everyone knows that my family has a marriage with Secretary Yang. If this matter is spread, others will think it is a rumor made by my family." Zhang Dashuan did not dare to take Zhou Yuquan's words. The Zhou family and the Yang family were fighting with gods. Zhang Dashuan, a mortal, dared to mix it up casually?

"Da Shuan, it's not that I'm talking about you, you have to be tougher. Last time Yang Baosong snatched black fish from your house, he didn't take your house seriously at all. If you endure it, what happened in the end? His son was bitten by the black fish and blamed him on the head. If you gave him a cruel person early in the morning, would he dare to bully people so unscrupulously? If I told me, as long as Yang Baosong, a bandit in Shuanghe Village is the village party secretary, Shuanghe will never have a day to turn over." Zhou Yuquan said.

"Who will be the Secretary Yang who doesn't think of it? There are not many capable people in our village. Even if your son Baoqun is the number one, is Baoqun willing to come back to be the secretary? Who in our village is willing to come back to lead everyone?" Zhang Dashuan said.

"How could Baoqun come back?" Zhou Yuquan said quickly.

"Isn't that right? A capable person has gone out to make a fortune long ago. Who is willing to stay in this mountain nest? We have been waiting for this cement road for many years, and other villages have been repaired for many years. Our village is at the end. If the road is built, Baoqun's house would have to save a lot of money, just the freight costs, right?" Zhang Dashuan said.

Zhou Yuquan nodded: "That's true."

"This is not a matter of time. Baoqun is doing well in Huacheng, so let's continue to make more money in Huacheng. Why bother to be angry with Secretary Yang? Your Baoqun has built a house, and everyone is better than anyone else, and everyone is not blind." Zhang Dashuan said.

"Yes, yes, yes, my family treasure group is not rare. I just can't be angry." Zhou Yuquan felt a lot more comfortable.

Autumn is coming, and the water in the pool behind the house has become shallower. The water is getting cooler and cooler. In the morning, the loaches don’t float up and play.

"Sister, do you think if we fish out all the loaches in the pool now, how many loaches can we catch?" Zhang Jidong squatted by the pool, looking at the reflection of the tree shadows on the water like a mirror.

"It must be quite a lot." Zhang Jiling said.

"Then we will catch loaches in the dry pond that day?" Zhang Jidong asked.

"What's the hurry now? Loaches are expensive during the Chinese New Year." Zhang Jiling said.

"During the Chinese New Year, the pool will freeze. When the loaches are turned out, they will freeze to death." Zhang Jidong said worriedly.

"Don't worry. Loaches can't die. If they die so easily, the loaches in the rice fields will die long ago. Brother, I heard that many people's fish ponds were stolen by thieves recently. Let the puppy look forward to our pool at night." Zhang Jiling said.

"Don't worry. I asked the puppy and the little paper man to guard the pool. Anyone who dares to steal loaches will scare him to death." Zhang Jidong said.

The two siblings were talking when Zhou Qingyong and Yang Decai ran over.

"Jidong, will you go and catch fish later?" Zhou Qingyong asked.

"Where to catch fish?" Zhang Jiling asked immediately.

"The fish pond at Yang Yinshan's house was stolen by a thief last night. Yang Yinshan was about to dry the pond today. He started to release water early in the morning. After putting it here, it should be almost dry." Zhou Qingyong said.

"Then you can go." Zhang Jiling said.

"I asked Ji Dong, but I didn't ask you." Zhou Qingyong said dissatisfiedly.

"I can't care about my brother's affairs?" Zhang Jiling looked at Zhou Qingyong disdainfully.

Zhang Jidong actually has no interest in catching fish. Others have dried fish in the pond, so they can only wait for others to catch the big fish before they can go down to the pond to catch small fish and shrimps.

In order to avoid others going to the pond to grab fish, the owner usually invites several people to surround him, holding sticks in his hands. When he meets an unreasonable person who wants to catch the fish before the owner catches the fish, he immediately hits the mud with the stick, causing the other party to be splashed with mud. Zhang Jidong has no interest in small fish and shrimps, and does not want to be splashed with mud.
