fisherman's evening

Chapter 41
"Good talk!"

When Yu Lao San heard that Xu Zhengming wanted to stay in the village, he was very happy. He thought that he really had to thank the car that broke down on the broken road. If the only thing to be grateful for was the broken road, it was the broken car Bar.

"Secretary Xu, come to my house for a while? I'll boil water and make tea." Yu Lao San walked up to Xu Zhengming's side and flattered him.

"We've already traveled this distance." Xu Zhengming smiled and said, "Why don't you take me around first?"

"That's okay." Yu Lao San nodded quickly when he heard Xu Zhengming's words, and said to Xu Qin, "Go to the village to find a chicken and stew it."

When Xu Qin heard Yu Laosan's instructions, she hurriedly responded, turned around and walked to the village. After all, it was the leaders of the town who came, and it was a bit unreasonable to have no meat to entertain them.So Xu Qin started looking for chickens from door to door.

Yu Laosan said this to Xu Qin in front of Xu Zhengming and his party. He had his own thoughts. He wanted Xu Zhengming to truly feel the situation in the village. The village has to go door-to-door to find even a chicken, how desolate it is.

"Secretary Xu, should we go to the beach first or go to the mountains first?" Yu Laosan said, "This is the time when the seaside is at low tide."

"Didn't you say that there are people selling boats in the village? Secretary Xu, let's go to the beach." Li Jinfeng looked at Xu Zhengming and said.

Hearing Li Jinfeng's suggestion, Xu Zhengming thought it made sense, so he agreed, "Alright, Lao Li, let's go to sea today."

So Yu Laosan took a group of people to Lao Hai's house to get a few pairs of rubber shoes, and told Shang Lao Hai to go to the beach.The sea in Yujiawa is not open. Compared with Dongshan Village, it is much smaller. However, because of the landform here, the nutrients brought by the seawater settle on the surface, forming a muddy beach. The mountain villages are much richer, and even compared to the famous seafood origins in the newspapers, the quality and taste are not far behind.

However, due to the restriction of broken roads, seafood can be shipped out less. After all, those seafood are only available in summer, and the poor roads make it even more difficult to transport seafood, which is already prone to spoilage.

Looking at the sea, Yu Laosan said to the group next to him, "This is all the boats in our village."

"There are so many people in the village, only these dozen or so boats are left, and the rest are sold." Lao Hai explained: "Our village had no fewer than forty boats before."

"These boats are quite old." Li Jinfeng groped for a boat that had been patched with wood, and said, "Some of the wood is rotten."

The boat that Li Jinfeng was groping for was Lao Hai's boat. It was just about to be towed to the shore today for repairs, but it was found that there was not enough wood. When he went to the mountain to find suitable wood, he met Xu Zhengming and his party.

"That's right, all the eaters are sold, and now that the sea is open, it will be even more difficult for those who sell boats." Yu Laosan said.

"It's really not advisable to kill the chicken to get the eggs." Xu Zhengming sighed: "If life is good, who wants to sell the boat."

The whole group was silent.

"Uncle Three!"

There was a shout from the sea, and Yu Jun saw Yu Laosan and his party standing on the beach from a distance, because Yu Laosan was the closest to the beach, Yu Jun recognized it at a glance.In a small place like Yujiawa Village, you can guess pretty well just by looking at the body shape.

Yu Lao San waved his hand at Yu Jun, signaling him to do what he should do, then turned around to look at Xu Zhengming and said, "That's the kid, the child of my second brother's family, who wanted to sell his daughter-in-law some time ago. I didn't sell the boat."

After a pause, Yu Laosan went on to say, "Later, because of poverty, I had some misunderstandings with Dongshan Village."

"I know, it's the kid who smashed the head of that kid from Tian Liang's family, right? I dealt with it." Liu Changshan looked at Lao Hai, because it was Lao Hai who went to collect him at that time, and he and Lao Hai had known each other once. .

"Yes, it's him." Lao Hai replied, "It's feasible now, and I'm not so impulsive."

"Secretary Xu, shall we go to the mountain again?" Yu Laosan interrupted Lao Hai's conversation. If he continued like this, Lao Hai would say everything.

"Row."

At the place where the seaside of Yujiawa Village connects with the foot of the mountain, there is a road that the villagers step on. This is the fastest way up the mountain from the seaside, but it is also the steepest road.Yu Laosan decided to take Xu Zhengming and his party to start here. Although it was difficult to walk, he could see all the mountains in the village along the way.

Xu Zhengming supported a stone beside the road with one hand and said to Li Jinfeng and Liu Changshan, "Be careful, be careful."

"It's said that going up the mountain is easy and going down the mountain is difficult." Li Jinfeng took a breath and said, "It's not easy going up the mountain."

"Hey, Mayor Li, after walking for a while, the calf becomes soft, and it will be even more difficult to go down the mountain." Liu Changshan joked.

"Leaders, the best way to go in our village is the way down the mountain." Seeing Li Jinfeng and Liu Changshan teasing each other, Lao Hai interjected.

So the group continued to walk up the mountain, and all the way down, there were quite a few villagers working on the mountain. They saw Yu Laosan leading a few people who seemed to be leaders over, and there were also a few enthusiastic people who put down their work and stood up. Get up and say hello, but more of a murmur to each other.

"Look, what are those led by Yu Lao San and Lao Hai doing?"

"I don't know, it looks like a leader."

"Is it really necessary to build the road?"

These whispers, when the villagers returned home in the evening, they would spread like the wind.

Xu Zhengming, Li Jinfeng, and Liu Changshan walked down the road, and their calves were really sore. Fortunately, the way down the mountain was not so steep, so they followed Yu Laosan and Lao Hai down the mountain slowly.
