I suddenly found myself having a very pleasant conversation with my son's homeroom teacher, and the two of us stood in front of the school gate and talked until the school bell rang.
Upon hearing the bell, Teacher Yan quickly said goodbye to Feng Haidong and then hurried into the school gate.
Feng Haidong watched Teacher Yan go in, a slight smile playing on his lips. He couldn't help but think that his son's homeroom teacher was quite an interesting person, and indeed a good teacher.
After leaving his son's school, Feng Haidong went directly to the bus station and boarded a bus back to town.
This time, Feng Haidong did not ask his brother-in-law Lu Yaobin to drive him.
He planned to go back to town to check on his family, especially his brother-in-law's crayfish farming business and the fish farming situation in the village.
Of course, most importantly, Feng Haidong also wanted to encourage everyone.
He brought back some money on this trip.
It was intended for my brother-in-law, Liang Cong, and the villagers.
Once it's confirmed that the crayfish raised by the eldest brother-in-law and the crayfish purchased by Feng Baoan are sufficient, Feng Haidong will notify them to deliver the crayfish to the store that Song Rui went to.
This was also a very important matter for Feng Haidong when he returned to the town.
The bus is much slower than the car, and it sways and rockes along the way.
It took about fifty minutes to finally arrive in the town.
After getting off the bus, Feng Haidong did not go to his parents' house, but went directly to Feng Baoan's shop on the old riverside street in town, where he bought crayfish and other river delicacies.
Because he arrived early, Feng Haidong ran into the people who were delivering shrimp and fish to Feng Baoan as soon as he reached the store.
Some people who came from the village recognized Feng Haidong immediately.
"Haidong, you're back!"
"It's Hai Dong who's back."
"Uncle Haidong, you're even coming to pick up the goods yourself?"
Feng Haidong greeted the villagers who came to deliver goods with a smile: "Good morning, everyone! You've come quite early this morning!"
The villagers all smiled and said that they had nothing to do in the morning, so they came over to deliver it.
Hearing the noise outside, Feng Baoan also came out of the shop.
"Haidong, you're back."
Feng Haidong said, "Uncle Bao'an, don't worry about me. You go about your business. I just came back to visit. We'll talk properly after you're done."
Feng Baoan nodded and said, "Okay, Haidong, please have a seat for a while."
Then, Feng Baoan continued his work.
Feng Haidong watched from outside the store. Feng Baoan carefully inspected all the crayfish that were delivered, and absolutely did not allow anyone to pass off inferior products as superior ones.
Moreover, Feng Baoan would also scold those crayfish covered in mud.
"How many times have I told you? This is all mud. If you send me shrimp again, no matter how good they are, I won't take them. With so much mud, are you trying to increase the weight on purpose? After washing away all this mud, how much real shrimp will be left?"
Seeing that Feng Baoan was angry, the men who had brought the shrimp quickly said, "Next time, we won't do it again."
Feng Baoan showed no mercy: "Don't talk to me about next time. This time, I'm telling you, go to the river and wash off the mud yourself before bringing it to me, otherwise I don't want you here anymore."
Feng Baoan's words put the group in a somewhat awkward position.
Some people even looked to Feng Haidong for help.
Feng Haidong simply watched with a smile, showing no intention of joining in.
In the end, those people had no choice but to obediently carry the crayfish to the riverbank and wash off the mud.
Feng Baoan continued collecting the remaining crayfish, as well as some fish that had been delivered.
Everything was taken care of. Feng Baoan lit a cigarette and came to Feng Haidong's side.
"These people are all about cheating and being cunning. I've told them so many times not to send me anything with mud on it, but they still send me things that look like mud monkeys. The worst part is that they put a lot of the mud on themselves and then wash it off. There aren't enough crayfish left."
Feng Haidong said, "Uncle Bao'an, I think you can do this in the future: set up a water pump by the river and draw water from it. When they bring you crayfish with mud on them, just rinse them with water. If there's a lot of mud, then don't take theirs."
Upon hearing Feng Haidong's idea, Feng Baoan immediately clapped his hands and cheered.
"That's a good idea. Haidong, I'll do it your way. I'll buy a water pump. We're right by the river, there's plenty of water in the river, isn't there? It's not like we're drinking it. We can pump it up and use it to wash the crayfish, so those sneaky bastards won't be able to escape."
When Feng Haidong heard Feng Baoan mention that the water pumped from the river wasn't for drinking, he immediately remembered something.
In my hometown town, although it's right next to the river, the river water isn't drinkable.
Over the years, despite living right next to the river, drinking water has become a major problem for the town.
Feng Haidong couldn't help but wonder if it would be possible to build a water purification plant by the river.
After the river water is purified, it is piped to every household in the town.
Wouldn't that solve the town's drinking water problem?
With this idea in mind, Feng Haidong then thought with some helplessness: We still haven't earned enough money. To build a water purification plant that can supply the entire town, and even some of the villages below? That's really no small amount of money.
However, after having this thought, Feng Haidong suddenly had an idea.
The goal was to build a water purification plant in the town.
At that moment, Feng Haidong suddenly had a big goal.
Previously, he probably just wanted to make more money, and then bring his family along, and also encourage some people in the town and village to make money together.
