"Wow! Fish! Fish! What a big fish!"
When the children in the village saw the fish, they jumped, shouted, cheered, and directed the adults in the mud pond to catch the fish.
The water in the pond had been drained long ago, and there was a thick layer of silt at the bottom. Some shallowly buried lotus roots were vaguely visible from the silt.
Ruan Niannian was jealous.
The taste of lotus root in summer is simply amazing.
Several strong men pulled a net from the other end of the pond to this side. The big net caught almost all the fish in the pond.
Others picked up the fish after the fishing net came over. The big and small fish were treated differently. The very small ones were kept in buckets first and put back after all the fish in the pond were scooped up.
Children are mostly responsible for picking up small fish. Some of the big fish weigh more than ten kilograms. Not to mention children, even adults may fall down if they struggle hard.
It just so happens that some children just like to catch big fish. In previous years, many children were injured by big fish. Later, the team learned their lesson and would directly deduct work points if a child touched a big fish.
The security situation has improved a lot.
Ruan Niannian didn't want to go down to the pond. The women who went down wanted to pick the best fish for their families, but it was not their turn to choose.
What you get in the end depends on how the team divides it.
Women are generally not eligible for this kind of high-work-point job. After catching the fish, digging the lotus roots is done by men and women, and the women are responsible for cutting the edges.
As the fishing net was pulled over, more and more people gathered around, and Ruan Niannian discovered that there was a somewhat familiar figure in the crowd.
He was agile and could move around under the fishing nets. Every time he came out from under the nets, he would grab two big fish.
Unlike other people’s cheers when they caught a big fish, every time he caught a big fish, even the children who wanted to cheer would have their mouths covered by their parents.
The villagers said that the wolf boy was a child abandoned by the Bodhisattva, and that getting close to a wild wolf boy would make one unhappy.
How many years has it been since the founding of the country? It is really sad that there are still people spreading such feudal ideas.
Ruan Niannian was thinking about it when she suddenly heard a scream.
"Ah - blood! It's blood! So much blood!"
"Why is there so much blood? Who is injured? Come up quickly, you are injured and still lying on the ground, do you want to die?"
The roars of men, the screams of women, and the helpless cries of children all mixed together.
Ruan Niannian looked in the direction of the bloodstains and could no longer tell whose blood was leaking. It was all over the place. With so much bleeding, wouldn't that person be in pain?
After a long time, someone finally came ashore.
It's him.
Pei Qingshan was the first to rush over, "Qing Gang, what's going on?"
Pei Qinggang saw that a thorn had pierced the side of his left foot. The thorn had been in the mud for so long that it was impossible to tell what it was with the naked eye.
"Ah...ah..." Pei Qinggang uttered twice in a hoarse voice, then shut up and remained silent. He knew that no one in the village wanted to get close to him.
There are four ponds in the village, with four cadres guarding each pond. Pei Qingshan has always been guarding the largest pond. Now that someone is injured, he certainly can't work anymore. Someone has to be arranged to send him to the health center for cleaning and bandaging.
"Two people come and take Qing Gang to the infirmary." Pei Qingshan roared. He definitely couldn't leave. What if something else happened?
No one stood up for a long time.
Pei Qing just lowered his head, stood up and wanted to leave.
"Where do you want to go when your foot is pierced? Sit still and I'll find someone to take you there." Pei Qingshan angrily pulled him to sit down.
On the one hand, he was angry at the ignorance of the villagers, and on the other hand, he felt that Pei Qinggang was too stubborn.
Ruan Niannian looked around but couldn't find Pei Qingsong. He was in this area just now. Could he have gone to cast the net again?
The fishing net slowly approached. Ruan Niannian looked carefully and saw that there was indeed a person on the right, Pei Qingsong. He was passionately directing the two young men how to pull the net.
She ran over quickly, "Brother, go back quickly, someone is in trouble, the captain is calling you."
"I'll go right away." Pei Qingsong told the two young men to be careful, and without asking Ruan Niannian what was going on, he turned around and ran in the direction where Ruan Niannian was running.
Pei Qingshan would call him when he had something to do, and he treated him as a brother. How could he not be proactive?
Ruan Niannian ran over slowly and saw that Pei Qingsong, under the command of Pei Qingshan, easily carried Pei Qinggang on his back.
When Ruan Niannian caught up, Pei Qingshan pointed at Pei Qingsong who had already run far away and said to her: "Sister-in-law, I asked Qingsong to take Qinggang to the health room. Please help to go over and take a look."
"Okay, Brother Qingshan, save two better fish for me later."
Pei Qingshan agreed without saying a word, "That's no problem, go ahead, I can't leave, these bastards are always the first to rush to the front line to grab food, I have to keep an eye on them."
To be honest, Pei Qingshan can be considered a good team leader. He always puts everyone's interests first. Although he sometimes secretly favors some members of the Pei family, he can be considered excellent as a team leader.
Ruan Niannian responded and followed.
When they arrived at the clinic, Pei Qingsong was helping the village barefoot doctor hold Pei Qinggang down.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!" Pei Qinggang let out a wailing sound and was about to break free.
"If I don't teach you a lesson, you think I'm a vegetarian, right?" Pei Qingsong shouted, straddling Pei Qinggang and holding the boy down with all his strength.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.
This kind of pure strength work still depends on Pei Qingsong.
Under Pei Qingsong's suppression, the thorn in Pei Qinggang's foot was finally pulled out.
"Uncle, what is it? Is this thorn made of wood or iron?" Ruan Niannian hurried forward and asked. If it was made of iron, it would be very troublesome, and she was afraid that she would not get tetanus at this time.
"Damn it, this kid is lucky, just wash the wound and bandage it."
The subsequent process went smoothly.
Pei Qingshan came to take a look after he finished his work. He had just bandaged the wound, and when he saw Pei Qingshan grimacing in pain, he smiled and said, "Boy, you said it didn't hurt, right? Do you feel the pain now?"
He added, "Your foot is injured, so don't go back to the mountain. Stay in the village first."
"No!" Pei Qinggang refused, his chest heaving violently and his nostrils expanding with anger.
He didn't want to live in the village. No one would accept him. People everywhere were saying bad things about him behind his back. He wanted to go back to the mountains where it was quiet.
"Hey, kid, you are so stubborn. Why don't you go to someone else's house? Come to my house instead, okay?"
Pei Qinggang was already somewhat tempted.
He likes the old man very much and doesn't treat him as an outsider. He looks like his grandfather. If he goes to his house, then he's okay with it, right?
Ruan Niannian frowned. Pei Qingshan was going to have a wedding with Liu Ping tomorrow. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to let Pei Qinggang live in his house at this time?
After all, their old house doesn't have many rooms. Could they really let the second uncle, who is so old, take care of Pei Qinggang?
