Feng Haidong led Liang Cong to the riverbank first. Liang Cong followed Feng Haidong to the riverbank and looked at the large lake adjacent to the town. He was immediately surprised.

"Brother Haidong, the situation of this lake in your hometown is almost exactly the same as ours."

Feng Haidong said with a smile, "This is actually part of the main river, but it makes a big bend here. There are mountains here that block the water, and the mountains embrace it, turning this area into a large lake."

Liang Cong said, "This place is really great, very suitable for raising fish with nets like we do back home."

Feng Haidong said, "Yes, it was when I came to your area and saw you raising fish with nets in the lake that I thought of introducing this method to our area."

Liang Cong looked around carefully again, stood by the river, and found a high place to look out.

Then Liang Cong thought for a moment and said, "Brother Haidong, but there is a problem with your hometown. There are mountains blocking the river here, but the river turns a corner here, and a depression has been eroded. If there is heavy rain, this place is prone to flooding, right?"

Upon hearing Liang Cong's words, Feng Haidong instantly recalled that his hometown would be flooded two years later.

However, upon closer reflection, Feng Haidong felt somewhat relieved.

Because of the great flood two years later, Feng Haidong's hometown was not severely affected.

Although the river in my hometown swelled due to upstream flood discharge, the village and town implemented effective drainage measures, so the disaster was not considered severe at that time.

But Feng Haidong couldn't help feeling worried when he thought about the flood.

If you start raising fish and shrimp now, you will be affected to some extent two years later.

Feng Haidong immediately felt some worry.

Seeing that Feng Haidong remained silent, Liang Cong could roughly guess Feng Haidong's worries.

He thought for a moment and said, "Brother Haidong, if we make some preparations in advance, we shouldn't worry too much. We can prepare in advance and catch all the fish and shrimp."

Upon hearing Liang Cong's words, Feng Haidong thought about it seriously and realized that he had indeed been worrying too early.

After all, the major flood is two years away, and with sufficient preparation in advance, we should be able to cope.

We can't give up the opportunity we have now just because of something that will happen two years from now.

After regaining his composure, Feng Haidong said, "You're right. We can prepare when there's a real flood. We can't give up our current business just because something hasn't happened yet."

Liang Cong said, "Yes, Brother Haidong, we should start raising fish and shrimp now."

After considering it for a moment, Liang Cong said, "As long as we prepare properly, I believe we can harvest a batch of fish by the end of the year."

Liang Cong continued, "As for the shrimp, they should be able to be available by next year."

Feng Haidong said, "Haha, it seems you're full of energy, Master Liang. That puts my mind at ease. You're a professional in terms of technique, so we'll do everything you say."

Liang Cong was very excited to hear that Feng Haidong trusted him so much.

"Thank you for your trust, Brother Haidong. I will do my best to help you with everything. If there are any things I'm not sure about, I will ask my dad."

Feng Haidong thought for a moment and said, "In that case, we should install a telephone here for you."

Liang Cong said, "No need, I can actually write a letter to my dad."

Feng Haidong shook his head and said, "Writing letters is too slow. It's better to communicate by phone in a timely manner. You don't need to worry about this. I'll find someone to install a phone for you later."

At this point, Feng Haidong added with a smile, "Moreover, my parents' home also needs a phone. I'm going back to the city later, but my wife will stay here, so we'll also need a phone to make it easier for us to contact each other."

Liang Cong asked, somewhat puzzled, "Brother Haidong, if you're going back, why is your wife staying here?"

Feng Haidong smiled and said in a low voice, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant and can't go back for the time being."

Liang Cong was somewhat surprised: "Your wife is pregnant? Hai Dong, are you and your wife planning to have this child?"

Feng Haidong quickly made a shushing gesture: "Don't tell anyone. This can't be known by anyone yet. I'm only telling you because I trust you."

Liang Cong was aware of the problem, so he quickly said, "Okay, Brother Haidong, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Feng Haidong said, "Your sister-in-law and I want this child. We feel that a child will be lonely in the future, so I arranged for your sister-in-law to stay in town this time. She will go back after she gives birth to the child."

Liang Cong thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Brother Haidong, if your wife gives birth to this child, will you be fined when you go back?"

Feng Haidong said, "Definitely, and both your sister-in-law and I might lose our jobs."

Liang Cong was somewhat surprised: "It's that serious?"

Feng Haidong said, "So don't tell anyone for now. I desperately need to make money because of this."

Of course, Feng Haidong wouldn't tell Liang Cong that his factory would soon face restructuring, and many of his workers would be forced to lay off.

Feng Haidong had already planned in his mind that if the factory investigated the matter concerning his child, he would simply apply to be laid off and leave the factory.

He then took Liang Cong for a walk along the river, and then Feng Haidong led Liang Cong to Feng Baoan's shop on the street.

Liang Cong entered Feng Baoan's shop and saw Feng Baoan packing a batch of crayfish, preparing to ship them out.

Looking at the large number of crayfish, Liang Cong asked in surprise, "Brother Haidong, you actually have so many red swamp crayfish?"

Feng Haidong said with a smile, "There are quite a lot of these things in the ditches around here. I asked my uncle to help me collect them in town and then send them to the city."
