A figure walked out from the darkness. Bao Tielu looked closely and found that the person was Li Changsheng.

Bao Tielu breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Li, why didn't you make any sound? Didn't you bring a flashlight? You scared me."

Li Changsheng smiled and raised the flashlight in his hand, "It's out of battery."

Bao Tielu opened the door, stood at the door and asked him, "What's the matter? Are you just passing by, or..."

"Ah, I came to ask about your brother. There were so many people working during the day, so I didn't have time to ask."

Bao Tielu is not stupid, he can still tell the truth from the false.

To be honest, he had a lot of complaints about Li Changsheng.

In the past, he thought Li Changsheng was a good person, and was also good to the children from the same village as them. He was capable, smart and hardworking, and had a good reputation in the village.

When talking about Li Changsheng, everyone gives him a thumbs up, which is why Bao Zhiguo regards Li Changsheng as his successor.

But he changed, becoming ambitious and disregarding feelings.

As soon as Bao Zhiguo fell ill, Li Changsheng immediately began some small moves to seize power. He secretly tried to win over many people, hoping to force Bao Shengli to retire early on the grounds that he was in poor health.

Bao Tielu was not stupid. No matter how unwilling he was in his heart, he did not show any negative emotions on his face. "My brother is fine. He is recovering well. He has made contributions again. He can go back to work after he recovers."

Bao Tielu did not tell the truth. He knew clearly that Bao Shengli's work could check and balance Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng wanted to kick Bao Zhiguo out, and even wanted to take control of the fish pond into his own hands. The reason he didn't take action was because the timing was not right.

The household contract responsibility system had not yet been formally implemented. Although he was responsible for the fish pond, it was collectively owned.

Furthermore, no matter what, Bao Shengli eats public food and holds a public job. Nowadays, ordinary people are still very afraid of public officials. A team leader, to put it bluntly, is not even the village chief. What qualifications does he have to compete with a staff member like Bao Shengli?

Li Changsheng didn't know what he was thinking about, and he said "oh" meaningfully.

Bao Tielu curled his lips under the cover of darkness.

Who is this person!

Li Changsheng naturally didn't see it. "I'm glad he's okay. I was just worried about Shengli. I was relieved to hear that he's okay."

You must be disappointed, why are you pretending?

"Brother Li, do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll close the door. We can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say." After Bao Tielu said this, he was about to close the door.

"Oh, railroad, wait a minute."

Li Changsheng took a few steps forward and said, "Well, I want to meet the educated youth Xiao Jiang."

Bao Tielu looked at Li Changsheng in astonishment and asked incredulously, "Who are you meeting?"

He thought he had heard wrongly.

"I want to meet Jiang Yan."

Li Changsheng smiled and said, "I have no ill intentions. I just want to ask her some questions about fish farming techniques. You know the situation is changing. If we want to keep our fish pond going, we have to make changes. Otherwise, it's hard to say where we will find a way out in the future. Xiao Jiang is educated and capable. It's better to ask her than for us to do it blindly. What do you think?"

What he said sounded so reasonable that Bao Tielu couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

"Brother Li, I don't know if Jiang Yan is willing to see you. You know, she came with her husband, children, and mother-in-law. It's not good for her to see a stranger like you."

After saying this, the corners of Bao Tielu's mouth curled up involuntarily. They were all outsiders, and the Bao family was Xiao Jiang's first choice for the educated youth. It was obvious who was far away and who was close.

Li Changsheng's face looked very unhappy. What? So it seems that only your Bao family is our family, and the others are outsiders.

"Of course, ask for me."

Bao Tielu walked into the house while muttering, "Really? Why didn't you come earlier? It's so late at night..."

Li Changsheng could only stand at the door alone and sulk.

If possible, he didn't want to come to the Bao family. He always felt embarrassed and felt uneasy.

But his wife insisted that he come, which destroyed the last bit of their affection. When they meet again, things will be different from before.

"What? He wants to see me?"

Jiang Yan was confused. She and Li Changsheng didn't have any private contact, right? When she was in Shengli Brigade, she would avoid Li Changsheng when she had nothing to do. What was his wife's name? Yao... Yao Maimiao, right? She looked at him like an eyeball, afraid that he would be seduced away by other women...

Now he comes to see her again, isn't he afraid that his wife will misunderstand him?

"Did he say anything?"

"It's about the fish pond." Bao Tielu curled his lips, "But I think this old guy didn't tell the truth."

Jiang Yan couldn't help but smile. Bao Tielu has grown up in the past few years and is no longer as silly as before.

"Okay then, I'll go take a look. Brother Bao San, will you accompany me?"

Bao Tielu looked at Si Lu and said, "I think he definitely doesn't want me to be there listening. He will find a chance to chase me back. Otherwise, Captain Si, why don't you accompany the educated youth Xiao Jiang?"

Si Lu smiled and said, "That's fine."

Anyway, the children are asleep and they don’t have anything to do, so they might as well go and take a look.

Bao Tielu looked at Jiang Yan and said, "Well, come back and tell me what he asked. I have no idea."

"Okay!" Jiang Yan agreed happily, "Wait."

Jiang Yan and Si Lu left the house together and came to the yard.

Li Changsheng felt quite embarrassed when he saw Jiang Yan and his wife. He also knew that what he was going to say next was a bit unkind and ungentlemanly, but as a human being, one has to consider himself first.

If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

"Young educated youth Jiang." Li Changsheng saw Si Lu behind Jiang Yan and nodded at him.

"I heard you were looking for me, is there something wrong?"

"Oh, yes, there is something."

Jiang Yan seemed to see through him, "Where's your wife?"

"ah?"

Li Changshengli quickly responded, "I wanted to talk to Xiao Jiang about something serious. She didn't understand the matter of the fish pond, so I didn't let her come with me."

"I remember that your wife was watching you closely, afraid that you would talk to others and get seduced. Did she feel comfortable letting you come?"

Li Changsheng had no way to explain this matter. Yao Maimiao was indeed very jealous. She thought anyone was trying to steal her man. When Jiang Yan was picking fish ponds in the Victory Brigade, it was inevitable that she had some contact with him. Yao Maimiao said a lot of sour words to him, both openly and secretly.

Li Changsheng's face was hot. How could a young educated youth like him? Wasn't this nonsense? Could he be better than the head of the group?

"Hey, Xiao Jiang, she's just a country woman who knows nothing. Don't bother with her. She's the one who's making trouble. I apologize to you on her behalf."

The attitude is pretty good.

"That's not necessary. Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about? I heard from Brother Bao San that you want to discuss the fish pond with me?"
