Chapter 208 Great Harvest



"Damn it, how did Xujia Village catch so many fish? They couldn't have followed our example, could they?

This year, all our fish have gone to their village."

"Yes, Captain, did the Xujia Village also throw things into our village?" The people in the neighboring village were full of dissatisfaction. Maybe that was the case. They didn't expect the people in Xujia Village to be so vicious.

Although they throw some things into Xujia Village every year, it does not cause them to be unable to catch fish.

They had just cast three nets in a row, and there were only a few fish in each net, and they were all small and skinny fish.

Looking at the big basins full of huge fish in Xujia Village, the people in Lijia Village were extremely jealous.

They all looked at the captain, trying to find a solution.

If it continues like this, how much fish can their village get this year?

"Captain, what should we do? We can't let all the rain fall on Xujia Village."

The captain of Lijia Village was also an old man. He looked heavy-faced, but there was nothing he could do. In previous years, their village had fished a lot, and each time they had a good harvest.

The fish caught by Xujia Village each time were not as many as theirs, but they themselves knew how their village managed to catch so many fish.

Now that their own village could not catch any fish, but Yu Xujia Village had so many fish, they understood what was going on.

But no one dared to say rashly that it was Xujia Village that tampered with the river.

If we tell others about it, the captain of Xujia Village is also a smart man and will definitely understand what happened before. If we make a big fuss then it will be difficult to resolve.

Captain Lijiacun had a gloomy face and frowned at everyone, "What should we do? What can we do? If you have the ability, drive the fish to our side.

If you don’t have the ability, just shut up and fish hard. This year’s catch is as good as it gets.”

"Captain, are we just going to watch all the fish caught in Xujia Village's nets?"

"Otherwise, you can go and settle accounts with the people of Xujia Village. When they ask you what happened, you say it was them who did it. Then they will say that we were the ones who did it in previous years." The captain of Lijia Village said sarcastically.

But the villagers were unwilling to give up when they saw so many fish in Xujia Village.

Although their village caught more fish than Xujia Village in previous years, it was not as many as Xujia Village.

Naturally, Father Xu also noticed that Lijiacun was looking towards his own village.

He immediately gathered the villagers and said, "Take these fish back first, we will fish again in the afternoon."

"Captain, there are a lot of fish right now. If we leave, what if the rain spreads to the next village?"

"That's right, Captain. You take a few people to divide the fish first, and we brothers will continue to fish."

"Dad, what everyone said is true. What if all the fish run away in the afternoon? We should catch more fish now so that we can have a good New Year." Xu Ying advised.

It's obvious that she just likes to take advantage of others. Don't think her father has any other intentions. He just felt sorry for the few fish caught in the Lijia Village net.

In previous years, when Lijia Village caught so many fish, they didn’t remember Xujia Village.

Why should they give way to others just because they have more fish?

Her father is just too kind.

"My daughter, there are not many fish in Lijia Village." Father Xu said in embarrassment.

Xu Ying curled her lips and said, "It's none of our business if they have less fish. It's not like we stole their fish.

In previous years, they always had more fish than our village. The fact that there are so many fish in our village this time might be because they made up for the fish from previous years.

Dad, look how happy everyone is, you can't spoil their fun."

"Why are there so many fish this year? I can finally have a good New Year."

This year is better. I will spend another afternoon online and I think I can catch a lot. I will ask my wife to bring some to her parents' home."

"Me too. I asked my wife to bring more to her parents' home."

Everyone was busy and looked happy.

Father Xu looked at the happy smiles on everyone's faces, and finally suppressed the kindness in his heart. It was okay, as long as the people in their village were happy.

"You guys come back with me, we will divide the fish now. I see there are a lot of fish this year, so let's divide them according to the number of people. I think each family will get a better share.

This year, God is taking care of us, and we can have a good New Year." Father Xu said with a smile.

The men pointed at by Father Xu immediately wiped the water off their hands, not caring that their hands had turned purple from the icy water, and smiled as they lifted the basins and buckets and said, "It's time to deliver the fish.

Captain uncle, Yingying is such a good cook, can you teach us how to cook fish this year? The boiled fish my wife made in previous years was terrible. "

"Yingying, can you teach us how to cook this fish? We fry it every year. Although it tastes good, you might want to try other ways to cook it." Everyone smiled.

“Okay, I think we’ll have a holiday in a week, so I’ll find a day to teach you how to cook fish.

But we don’t provide fish at home, we all bring our own fish.” Xu Ying joked with a smile.

When everyone heard this, they immediately burst into laughter: "How can we ask the master to deliver fish to us? We apprentices should deliver fish to the master.

When the daughter-in-law at home is ready, she will let Chef Yingyingying taste it."

"No, I can't eat that much!"

"If you can't eat it, let your parents, brother, and sister-in-law eat it."

"That's right, what's wrong with eating some fish? If it weren't for you, our village would have a good life this year.

After the Chinese New Year, my family will build a new house, all thanks to you, Yingying." Although his wife was not selected to work in the workshop, she sold a lot of vegetables and mountain products in the village this year and made a lot of money.

Moreover, the wages for building houses in the village are low, and all they need is money to buy materials and a meal.

If they encounter other families building houses, they don't have to pay each other for the work.

"We are also going to build a house in the spring, so let's build it together then."

"Okay, my house is too dilapidated. It leaks when it rains. I have to cover it.

I never thought that one day our family would be able to build a new house!"

Everyone had a happy face. Even though the New Year hadn't arrived yet, Father Xu could see the festive atmosphere on everyone's faces.

He was also happy in his heart. His biggest wish as a team leader was to see all the villagers become rich.

He hasn't done it now, but his daughter helped him do it, and he is proud of sharing the honor with her.

"There are five people in the family who gave birth to the child. We will give out five kilograms first." Father Xu said as he was keeping accounts.

Someone immediately took out the fish behind him, and the daughter-in-law of the child hurried over to borrow a scale.

"Why are there so many fish this year? Wasn't there only three pounds in previous years?" The wife who gave birth to a son looked curious, but when she saw so many fish, her mouth was full of joy.

"Sister-in-law caught a lot of fish this year. We have only distributed 5 kilograms. Maybe we can get another 5 kilograms in the afternoon." The young man who was distributing the fish said with a smile.

When the wife who gave birth to a child heard this, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling: "Oh my, what's going on this year, why are there so many happy events?

I said that our village leader is capable. I noticed that this year our village had the best New Year celebration among all the villages around here.”
