My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 237 Rain and Fish

After all the dishes were served on the table, Chen Ling became more and more excited, toasting people one after another, and after toasting one table to the next, and whoever asked him to drink, he would not refuse, without saying a word, he did it on the spot, and more. It's to make people applaud.

  The women cheered enthusiastically and laughed along with them, while the little kids just played and kept moving between the banquets.

   This full moon wine is really a joy for the guests and the host.

   But the fly in the ointment is that when the banquet was in full swing, a few uninvited guests came to the farm.

   It turned out that several leaders from the county came and followed a villager to look for Wang Laishun.

   They hurried over to find them, because several neighboring provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the city suffered severe floods again this year. The city leaders spoke out to prepare for flood control work in advance, and asked them to personally go to each village to supervise them.

   Chenwangzhuang, which is adjacent to the reservoir and closer to the county seat, is naturally the first stop.

  I didn't expect that when he came to find Wang Laishun, the branch secretary, he was happily eating here.

   As soon as the few people explained their intentions, Chen Ling, who was in a hurry, greeted the county leaders to take a seat, arranged a separate table for them, and asked them and Wang Laishun to sit at a table alone to talk about things.

  Chen Ling was so enthusiastic to give face, and several leaders stepped forward to shake hands with him.

Wang Laishun also brought Wang Jusheng to introduce him, saying which one was the flood control commander, which one was the public security officer, which one was the people's livelihood, and which one was the propaganda officer. Liu Xiangqian.

  The visitors were guests, and Chen Ling treated them as guests, and as usual, he toasted a glass of wine.

   "This is a very promising young man from our village. Chen Fugui is very literary. He came up with our county's family planning propaganda slogan last year." Wang Laishun also introduced Chen Ling to these people.

   "Oh, I know, I heard Mayor Liu mention this young man in your village. It's very good." Liu Xiangqian said with a smile, but he just sat, didn't get up, and didn't mean to serve wine in return.

   On the surface, this man has a big nose, wears a white shirt and dark blue trousers, speaks slowly, smiles, and grasps the leadership style very well.

   But soon, he saw Liang Hongyu upstairs who taught his little grandson with a cold face, and his expression changed suddenly, slightly stunned.

   Then he continued to talk to Chen Ling: "Is there a boy or a girl in the family?"

   "Boy boy."

   "Good boy, good boy, if there is anything that can't be solved in the future, you can go to the county town to find me, and tell the guard to find Liu Xiangqian."

   Having said that, he also got up and raised his glass to salute Chen Ling with a glass of wine.

  Chen Ling keenly noticed the change in his attitude, and nodded with a smile.

   After that, I was not interested in chatting any more, so I continued to find other people at the table to make a toast.

   These few people, he originally arranged for Wang Laishun's face, otherwise Wang Laishun had been busy here for a long time, and he would let people leave halfway? That's not great.

   His attitude towards these **** leaders has always been that he has less contact with them, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

   However, the less he cared, the more cautious these leaders were, and asked Wang Laishun and Wang Jusheng about the relationship between Chen Ling and Liang Hongyu.

   As soon as I finished inquiring, I saw a big fat man dancing at the banquet in the distance, shaking his body full of fat and shaking.

  Liu Xiangqian even had a ghostly expression on his face, "Who the **** is this kid, Zhao Dahai also knows him."

   "What's wrong with the sea, I know him too, isn't he from the Municipal Power Supply Bureau?" Wang Jusheng wondered.

   "His father is Zhao Yubao, a famous national writer and a professor at the provincial capital university. You know him, but you don't know this?" Liu Xiangqian said in a low voice.

   At this time, the names of writers and professors were very valuable, especially professors, who had a wide network of contacts, and I was not sure who I knew.

   "Oh, so famous, I haven't heard him mention it."

  Wang Jusheng shook his head. Hearing this, he was not surprised. He thought to himself that it was something scary.

   Even Wang Laishun didn't react at all, he just smiled happily.

  No way, this year, there have been too many outsiders who have been to Chen Ling's house.

  Between the capital and the city, when the farm was built last year, the car ran back and forth every day, and the village had long since noticed it.

   If you can afford to drive a car these days, can that be an ordinary person? Think about it with your **** and know it's not easy.

   "Ah? How did you know it? I knew it when I came to the village to set up high-voltage power lines. That's right, I haven't dealt with it before, so I know it like that."

   Facing Liu Xiangqian's questioning, Wang Jusheng told the truth and he was not a fool. He knew that Liu Xiangqian was inquiring about Chen Ling, but did he not know about Chen Ling? Ordinary, what is there to be afraid of asking.

   "Oh, that's it." Liu Xiangqian obviously didn't believe it, "Wang Zhishu, there is a full moon wine, we can't eat and drink here for free, let's bring our members with us."

   He took the money with his head, and Wang Laishun originally kept the gift list, so he took it and wrote it down for him.

   They were talking, and other villagers also looked at the table curiously.

But it's just a few glances, and it won't affect the atmosphere at the banquet because of their arrival. Country talents don't care if they lead or not, and if they ask a few good questions, they won't give them money, and they won't give them food tax exemptions. who knows who they are.

   Continue to drink and eat lively.

When Chen Ling went back after the toast, Liang Yuemin, Zhao Dahai, and Bobcat pulled him to sit down and continue drinking. Yesterday was wine, and I didn't drink it. Today, there is white wine and several large bundles of beer bought from Huangni Town Brewery. To drink to the fullest.

   It’s just that the heavens are not beautiful, just after two o’clock in the afternoon, it actually started to rain.

   At first, everyone didn't care. The wine table was either placed on the first floor of the bamboo building, or placed under the long corridor by the lotus pond, where it wouldn't get wet.

   Who knew that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, the sky was thundering and lightning, the raindrops were getting more and more dense, and the sky was darkening.

   It didn't take long for the ground to be filled with blisters and mist, and no one could be seen, only a white patch in the rain.

   That's it, it went on for nearly two hours, but the rain still didn't stop.

   "Damn, these **** leaders are really bad stars. They said why the flood control came. Come on to his grandmother. If they didn't come to mention this, how could it rain so much? It's really a crow's mouth."

  The villagers watched the rain getting worse and worse, and they all cursed their mothers with hatred. They just suffered a disaster last year, and this year they finally took a breath, and no one wanted to do it again.

   There were also people who were having fun and said to Chen Ling, "Fugui, it seems that we really have to have two meals here."

   "Hey, don't say stay for two meals, you can stay here at night." Chen Ling smiled.

   He knew that there would be no floods this year, and the cave was well prepared and everything was complete, even if there were deviations in parallel time and space, he would not be afraid.

   Sure enough, in the evening, the rain gradually decreased.

  The villagers did not dare to stay any longer, and they joked with Chen Ling, saying that eating his full moon wine almost turned into a water table, so they all left.

  Wang Laishun also left with several leaders.

  The rest, including Liang Hongyu's family, and Han Chuang, are all staying at Chenling Farm, and there is no way to walk on the road now.

   In the middle of the night, it started to rain again, and it was still a strong wind and a torrential rain.

   It was still raining in the morning, but the rain was much milder.

   "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, hurry up, the fish ran out, the yard is full of fish."

  Chen Ling was sleeping with his daughter-in-law and son Meimei, when his sister-in-law's voice came from outside.

   He hurriedly got up and put on his clothes, and went out to take a look. Good guy, the little girl is not exaggerating, and the yard is really full of fish.

The terrain of the farm is relatively high, and the drainage is relatively good. However, the rain this time was heavier than last time. The water from the lotus pond and the canal overflowed. The water in the farm's courtyard was ankle-deep. As soon as my feet went in, the crackling was full of fish jumping, and following the current, they were running around incessantly.

   At this time, Wang Zhenzhen was wearing a straw hat, holding his trouser legs, and led the little yellow dog to catch fish everywhere in the yard. After he caught it, he threw it into the water tank under the eaves.

   called him down while grabbing.

   "Come here, don't worry, the fish can't run away."

  The farm is surrounded by ditches and canals. Chen Ling is not worried about the fish escaping, and they are all within the mountain range he contracted, and his fish will go wherever they go.

"Damn, the trout also ran out." When he went downstairs to see it, he was a little panicked. This trout was cultivated with great difficulty, and it took a lot of time and energy. If it escaped That's not a small loss, so I quickly took the bucket and waded into the water to catch fish.

  Slimy salmon are extremely lively and slippery, rushing along the water everywhere, and some rushed to the steps under the eaves with too much force, flapping their tails on the ground.

   "What are you doing? Are you catching fish?"

  Liang Yuemin's family was alerted by the movement outside, and when they opened the door, they saw Chen Ling and the little girl with their dogs wading in the water to catch fish in the yard.

   "Good guy, the trout also came out."

  Liang Yuemin quickly picked up the thin-scaled fish on the steps and put it into the water tank, fearing that it would die.

   Then the whole family rolled up their trousers, went into the rain, and started catching fish everywhere.

   Soon, the Wang Qingwen brothers, Lynx, Zhao Dahai, and Han Chuang were all disturbed, and a group of people joined the group with the little baby. Wang Cunye also wanted to come, but was persuaded by Wang Qingwen and the two.

   "Father, your legs and feet are not good, don't go into the water, it will be a bad thing if you catch a cold."

   "Yeah, we'll just come, there are so many people."

   But there were so many people, both adults and children, that were unable to catch the fish in a short time.

   For more than two hours, I didn't even eat breakfast. There were two tanks of fish, and more than half of the buckets filled with crabs and shrimp. The fish and shrimp in the water were still surging up.

  The fish in the lotus ponds and the canals were still trying to rush out of the water as if they were squeezing their heads, as if they were dying.

Crucian carp, grass carp, eel, loach, catfish are full of slippery fish, big and small, stirring up vortexes in the stagnant water. The fish was trampled.

  Chen Ling took a look and saw that all the fine-scale salmon were caught in the water tank, and not a few were lost.

   He doesn't want to care about other fish.

   "There are a lot of shrimps. I'll let them clear their intestines later. Let's eat drunk shrimp in the afternoon."

  Chen Ling called everyone to stop, then went to the kitchen with a bucket of shrimp, and brought out breakfast for everyone to eat.

   As a result, these people went crazy. At this time, the rain gradually eased, and they all stepped on the stagnant water in the yard and kept catching fish.

   "Uncle, the fish in your family are the same as those that Bai picked up, let's play a little more." The little fat man shouted.

But he spoke out the thoughts of a few adults, especially a few women. The more they played, the more interested they became. They even called out Wang Susu and asked her to help take pictures, saying that she was confinement. Come out to get some air and play, but it's not good to be stuffy in the room.

  Chen Ling also agreed, so he stopped eating in a hurry, and taught his wife how to use the camera hand in hand, standing under the eaves to take pictures.
