fisherman's evening

Chapter 115
"Widow Lin! Come out." Guangfa called outside Widow Lin's door.

"Okay, let's go in, the door is open." Xu Qin said from the side: "There are so many of us, are you afraid that she won't succeed?"

So Xu Qin and Guangfa entered the door first, Yu Laosan and Lao Hai followed behind, and the widow Lin in the room heard Guangfa calling her outside the door, turned over from the bed and walked out.

"Ah?! These few, what brought you here?" Widow Lin felt guilty, knowing that her mouth had broken a bit these days, and then said: "Although my man is gone, you leaders can't bully me .”

"Old Lin, come here, we'll ask you something." Xu Qin smiled and said to Widow Lin, "We'll leave after asking."

"What do you need me to tell my son?" Widow Lin leaned against the door frame, not planning to go there.

Seeing that Widow Lin couldn't come over, Yu Lao San walked up from behind Guangfa and looked at Widow Lin with a frown, as if he wanted to nail Widow Lin to the door frame with his knife-like eyes.

"Okay, okay, I'll go over there." Widow Lin felt terrified at the sight of the third child, twisted her waist and walked over pretending to be calm, and said, "What's the matter? Tell me, I have to work after I finish talking."

"Old Lin, I think you know what's going on with your appearance." Xu Qin became serious, and said, "You told me about Miss Qin and Zhang Shugen, right?"

"Oh, what's the matter? Why don't you let me talk about it?" Widow Lin squinted her eyes and raised her head, looking indifferent, and said, "I said it, what's wrong?"

"You are refreshing!" Yu Lao San couldn't hold back, pointed at Widow Lin and said, "Is that what you call saying? You are spreading rumors!"

"Spreading rumors?" Widow Lin still looked indifferent, and said: "A man and a woman pull together in the middle of the night. With the virtue of this tree root, what can he do? I can figure it out with my toes. .”

Seeing that Yu Laosan was in a hurry to get angry, Xu Qin quickly intervened and told Widow Lin about Qin Qing and Zhang Shugen's affairs from beginning to end, even telling how Zhang Shugen was beating and rolling when he was taken away.

"That may be a little different from what I said." Widow Lin picked her ears and said, "It's not much different."

"Hurry up, don't talk nonsense." Yu Laosan stomped his feet and said, "Hurry up and explain to the village, and then apologize to Miss Qin."

"Explain? Apologize?" Widow Lin said in a sharp voice, "If I'm in a good mood, it's fine to explain, but let me apologize to that yellow-haired girl? I'm a generation behind, right?"

"Miss Qin was driven away by the rumors you spread!" Yu Laosan confronted Widow Lin and said, "When you go back to town, you have to sue the police station. Then you can go in and be with Zhang Shugen!"

Widow Lin is different from Zhang Shugen. When Zhang Shugen heard about the police station, his legs softened, but Widow Lin was not afraid of the police station. She still went her own way, thinking that Yu Laosan was scaring herself.

"Don't scare me with the one from the police station." Widow Lin said, "I can tell you, I can't apologize to that yellow-haired girl, how can I hold my head up in the future?"

"Okay, widow Lin, secretary, stop arguing." Xu Qin said, "That's all for today, secretary, why don't we go first."

Seeing Widow Lin's recalcitrant attitude, Yu Laosan also felt that it was meaningless to go on, so he nodded and went back to the village committee with Xu Qin and the others.

"Still scaring me, am I still afraid of you?" Widow Lin muttered after the third son and the others left, "You underestimated me, right?"

Back at the village committee, Guangfa's loud voice began to scold Widow Lin again.

"Be quiet." Lao Hai sat on the threshold and said, "Just now at Widow Lin's house, why didn't you scold me?"

Guangfa is silent.

Jingle Bell!Jingle Bell!
The sound of the phone on the table broke the silence.

Yu Laosan picked up the phone.

"Hello? Yujiawa Village."

"Oh, it's Secretary Xu."

"Oh, I see."

"Okay, thank you Secretary Xu."

Yu Laosan smiled and spoke to Xu Zhengming on the other end of the phone sentence by sentence.

"What's the matter?" Lao Haiyu asked after the third child hung up the phone: "Are you here to ask for a crime?"

"No." Yu Laosan returned to his serious expression, and said, "Miss Qin asked Secretary Xu to solve the problem for us. A while ago, we two discussed how to finish the road before the rainy season."

Speaking of this, Lao Hai approached Yu Lao San and said, "What do you mean?"

"Just let us not worry about the problem of winter food, and the town will solve part of it for us." Yu Laosan said: "In this way, we will build roads and divide them into two groups, taking turns during the day and night, so we don't have to worry about running out of food in winter gone."

After hearing this, Lao Hai looked at Guangfa and then at Xu Qin, his face wrinkled with a smile.

"Guangfa, Xu Qin, did you hear that?" Lao Hai said, "Let's organize it right away."

Guangfa nodded vigorously, while Xu Qin was thinking about something.

"What are you thinking?" Guangfa looked at Xu Qin and asked, "Xu Qin? What are you thinking?"

"Ah? Oh, I was thinking, why not organize the women in the village to build roads together, so we can catch up with the progress, and the men can be more relaxed." Xu Qin said what was in her heart.

"Don't think about it, can you women do more work?" Guangfa waved his hand and immediately vetoed it.

"I said, Guangfa, why don't you have this awareness?" Lao Hai hurriedly said: "Gender equality, where are you being eaten by dogs?"

Guangfa simply stopped talking, and Lao Hai always choked on himself today, as if he had provoked Lao Hai.

"Okay, that's it." Yu Lao San finally made up his mind and said, "Guangfa arranges the manpower, Xu Qin, go and mobilize the women in the village, everyone will work together, men and women will join the battle, and the road will be repaired as soon as possible!"

Seeing that the village secretary had spoken, Guangfa stopped saying anything, Lao Hai hesitated to speak, Xu Qin nodded, and began to plan in advance.

"Let's go our separate ways." Yu Laosan was worrying and urged these people to leave.

After Guangfa and Xu Qin left, Lao Hai, who also followed him out, turned back into the house.

"Tell me, what do you think?" Yu Lao San seemed to have expected that Lao Hai would come back, so he asked without raising his head, "Let's discuss it again."

Lao Hai understood Yu Lao San's meaning just now, and just wanted to discuss these matters with himself alone, so he sat on the chair next to Yu Lao San.

"Third son, I think even if Widow Lin doesn't apologize to Miss Qin, we have to explain the whole story to the village, and then we have to apologize to Miss Qin," Lao Hai said.

"Well, that's what it should be." Yu Lao San still didn't look up, just looking at the lines on the palm of his hand, and said, "What about this way of road repair? What do you think?"
