The village chief called the roll and only began to speak when everyone was present.
"Bang, bang, bang—alright, alright, fellow villagers, be quiet for a moment."
The gong sounded first, and then the village chief started to shout out the content of the meeting.
"Tomorrow, our village will organize a trip to the reservoir to catch fish."
As soon as the village chief said this, there was a small sigh from the audience.
Fish are the fattest and most delicious in autumn, because they are preparing for winter and will eat a lot to store energy.
But the villagers don't like this activity.
First of all, catching fish is very physically demanding.
Farmers do pure physical labor all year round and have little energy. Now that they have just finished planting winter crops, they all want to take a break and don't have the energy to work hard.
Secondly, fish tastes very fishy. If it is not cooked well, it will not only fail to satisfy your craving, but will increase the feeling of hunger in your stomach.
Thirdly, in addition to being shared by the public, the caught fish also have to be shared with the entire village, so not much will be left for each family.
So, everyone was whispering to each other.
The village chief and his followers discussed for a while, then immediately struck the gong again, "Listen carefully, fellow villagers: tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, every family must send at least one strong laborer to gather here, and then we will set out together."
Next, the village chief briefly talked about the distribution of caught fish.
Those who go into the water to catch fish will share the profits according to the number of fish they catch, and the rest will belong to the public. The most important thing is that as long as you do some light work on the scene, you can also get a share of the fish.
So Song Ruan also decided to go. She had already thought of many ways to eat fish.
The next day, Yang's mother got up early to cook and stir-fry meat and vegetables for them, and then put two bottles of ginger water in the bucket for them to take.
When he arrived at the drying yard, Song Ruan found many familiar faces.
Her three brothers and her sister-in-law were all there, which was within Song Ruan's expectations. After all, her brothers were all people who were not afraid of working hard.
Simply put, it means being diligent.
Almost all the people in the educated youth site have come. It is probably because the educated youth usually do not earn many work points, so there is a shortage of food.
What surprised Song Ruan was that only Zhang Caihong came to her second uncle's house, but Zhang Caihong was not a strong laborer.
Sure enough, when the village chief was counting the number of people, he saw that only Zhang Caihong came to her second uncle's house, and his face looked very unhappy.
However, he did not waste time at this juncture. He took the fishing tools and set off with his men.
Arrived at the reservoir, started to form a team.
It is important to find teammates. After all, the team that catches more fish will get more shares. Now that we are here, everyone will definitely try their best to win.
There were only fishing nets, so they were divided. Yang Bin and her three brothers were in one team; the educated youth were in another team; Li Shengli and a group of people of similar age were in another team; the rest of the people were divided into two teams.
Yang Bin and her brothers are the smallest team, but they do not look weak.
As soon as they got into the water, they occupied an advantageous position. The three Song brothers were responsible for blocking the outlet of the drainage ditch with fishing nets, forming a three-sided encirclement.
Yang Bin took a wooden pole and hit the water vigorously, stepping left and right to drive the fish into the net.
He was very strong, and every hit with the stick left a thick splash on the water surface. The three Song brothers also cooperated and walked towards Yang Bin with fishing nets.
After one round, the fishing net caught a lot of fish.
When the fishing net came ashore, Song Ruan and Wu Xing hurried over with buckets and together they untied the fish from the net and put them into the buckets.
Compared to their orderliness and good coordination, others seemed a bit chaotic. For example, the fish chaser failed to gather the fish properly, the fish collector failed to cooperate in collecting the nets, and so on.
"Village chief, this is unfair. Why can Yang Bin and his friends fish in a good position?" Zhang Caihong, who was on the shore, saw this scene and spoke up to protest.
It was Zhang Caihong’s first time to catch fish in the reservoir, so she didn’t understand, and the village chief didn’t want to explain it to her.
"Going into the water to fish depends entirely on your strength." The village chief replied calmly, and continued to watch the battle below calmly. ..
Zhang Caihong insisted, "You are the village chief, why are you afraid of Yang Bin and his men? You can't even not help your son, right? Look, your son doesn't catch as many fish as they do."
village head:"……"
"What's wrong with him being my son? If he can't catch anyone else, then he can only recognize his brother. What can I do?"
The village chief was almost furious. His son couldn't compare to others, so did he have any face? Was there any need to speak out loudly here?
So, no matter what Zhang Caihong said next, the village chief was unwilling to pay any attention to her.
Zhang Caihong muttered, "Humph, just ignore me, who cares."
The village chief ignored her and she didn't know the people around her, so Zhang Caihong had no choice but to stare at the bottom of the reservoir in boredom.
As she looked at him, her eyes unconsciously drifted to Song Wen.
At this time, their clothes had already been soaked underwater. The thin clothes were clinging to their bodies, revealing their figures.
She always thought that Song Wen had a thin figure, but she didn't expect that he actually had bulging muscles. Although they were not particularly obvious, the lines were very clear.
Her gaze moved from his back, to his chest, and then to his waist and abdomen. Unfortunately, when she wanted to look further down, the lines of his body sank into the water.
She thought back to sleeping with Song Jin, when she touched Song Jin, Song Jin's body was dry, totally different from Song Wen's.
I don’t know, what does Song Wen feel like?
Zhang Caihong's eyes became blurred.
