Chapter 11 Mirror Lake Village

Lin Feifei took Fan Qiang to Lingnan Town Station by bicycle.

In fact, it's not a station, it's just an intersection, where all the operating vehicles of Lingnan Town gather to wait for passengers.

Vehicles to the county town include medium-chartered cars and vans, and vans are not allowed to take bicycles.

The two chose a medium chartered car that was at the front of the queue, and six or seven people were already seated in the car.

"Master, we are going to take the bicycles to the county together." Lin Feifei came to the driver's seat and said to the driver.

"You have to pay for one person's ticket for the bicycle." The driver didn't even turn his head, puffing on his cigarette fiercely.

"Ah? I have to pay for the fare." Lin Feifan scratched his scalp and put on a smile, "Can it be cheaper, half the fare for the bicycle is okay?"

The driver swallowed, as if he hadn't heard it.

Fan Qiang couldn't get used to it from the back: "If you pay for one person's ticket, you will pay for one person's ticket. Don't speak nicely to him."

Lin Feifan turned around, pulled Fan Qiang to the bicycle parked not far away, and said loudly: "Forget it, let's take another car, last time I took the bicycle to the county, there was no charge for other cars. "

Fan Qiang knew that there was no one in the minibus behind him, and he didn't know how long it would take to take another bus, so he put his hand into his pocket to take out the money: "Isn't it just an extra two yuan? I'll just give it to him."

Lin Feifei continued to pull Fan Qiang away, avoiding the driver to wink at Fan Qiang.

Haha, I'm lying, I understand.

Fan Qiang said loudly on purpose: "The big deal is that we can go to the county by bike and save two dollars."

Damn, two poor ghosts!The driver cursed in his heart, and threw the cigarette butt out the window: "Get in the car, two people add a car, and I will give you ten yuan."

Lin Feifei immediately turned his head and walked to the window, took out ten yuan from his pocket and gave it to the driver.

"Let me pay the fare." Fan Qiang had already taken the money out of his pocket.

Lin Feifei smiled and said, "I have the fare in my pocket. I will pay for the round-trip fare today, and I will borrow money for the books from you."

Fan Qiang shook his head helplessly, supported the bicycle faucet, and opened the legs.

"It's inconvenient for you to wait for me." Lin Feifei took the bicycle, holding the faucet with one hand and the handlebar with the other hand, and sent it to the minibus.

The driver jumped out of the car and yelled: "Stop, stop, you put the bicycle on, how can there be people in the car?"

"..." Lin Feifan was stunned, didn't he pay all the money?

The driver walked to the rear of the car, climbed up the roof along the iron ladder, opened the net bag, stood by the iron fence on the roof and said, "Lift it up, put it on top."

"... Oh." Lin Feifan lifted the bicycle, and Fan Qiang helped to support it.

The driver lifted the bicycle with both hands, put it sideways in the net pocket, and fixed several places with ropes. After pulling the bicycle, he felt that it was more secure, and then he got off the roof and returned to the driver's seat.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, two more people got on board. The driver started the car under the urging of the passengers and drove to Linjiang County.

Linjiang County is located in the southeast corner of Jianghuai Province. It is called Linjiang County because it is on the verge of the Yangtze River. The county has a population of more than 70 and is a typical large agricultural county.

It mainly grows rice, corn, wheat and cotton. The industrial base is almost zero and the economy is very underdeveloped.

Lingnan Town is located at the easternmost end of Linjiang County, and is the nearest town to the Yangtze River in the whole county.

There is a large freshwater lake in the town, named Mirror Lake, which was called Fairy Pool in ancient times.

Legend has it that because the lake is as calm as a mirror and clear to the bottom, it is very attractive, and the fairies in the sky often come to the mirror lake to take a bath together.

So it is called Fairy Pool.

The lake water is connected with the tributaries of the Yangtze River, and flows into the Yangtze River through the tributaries. The total water area of ​​Jinghu Lake is 36 mu.

Jinghu Lake is very rich in aquatic products, especially famous for whitebait and hairy fish.

The minibus Lin Feifan and Fan Qiang took left the Lingnan Town block and entered Zhoulang Administrative Village. After continuing to drive for about 10 minutes, they entered Jinghu Administrative Village.

Jinghu Administrative Village is named after Jinghu Lake, and all villager groups in the village live near the lake.

From 1992, Jinghu began to contract with foreign companies, mainly breeding hairy crabs and various freshwater fish, which created huge economic benefits.

But the huge wealth brought by farming hairy crabs has nothing to do with the residents along the lake.

Because Jinghu was outsourced, the contract was issued by the Fisheries Bureau of Linjiang County, and the contractor was Wang Yuezhi, an employee of the Bureau of Fisheries.

Residents in the lake area can only stand aside, and if they want to eat a piece of fish in Jinghu Lake, they have to pay for it.

If local residents want to eat Jinghu hairy crabs, they don't even think about it.

The hairy crabs produced in Jinghu Lake are big and fat, surpassing the hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake. They are exported to Southeast Asia and exported overseas. The price is staggeringly expensive, and local residents cannot afford it.

When the hairy crabs are ripe, the villagers occasionally pick up one or two hairy crabs in the fields along the lake, but they are reluctant to eat them.

Take it to the town and sell it to people who buy aquatic products. A hairy crab can cost more than a chicken.

The residents along the lake have lived on the lake for generations. They are best at fishing and shrimping, and have no other crafts.

The per capita arable land area in the lake area is pitifully small, and most of the fields are flooded almost every other year.

Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to draft water.

But now the residents of Jinghu Village rely on water and can only eat soil, so Jinghu Village has become the poorest village in Linjiang County.

The car stopped along the way, and some new people got on board. Not far ahead, two people stood on the side of the road and waved, motioning to stop.

The driver lightly braked and parked the car next to the two of them, which happened to be the gate of Jinghu Junior High School.

Jinghu Junior High School is adjacent to the village head of Jinghu Village, and is built on the north side of the road from Lingnan Town to Linjiang County, so the traffic is relatively convenient.

Lin Feifan sat on the right seat of the car, looked out the window and saw the school gate, and found that there were many people in the school.

Lin Feifan's home is in the Jinghu Group not far behind Jinghu Junior High School. Although it is very close to here, he seldom comes here.

Usually, when going to Lingnan Town from home, I would take a shortcut from the west side of Jinghu Junior High School instead of passing the gate of Jinghu Junior High School.

If you go to Linjiang County, you will take a small road on the east side of Jinghu Lake to the side of the highway, and you will not pass through here.

Lin Feifei had complicated emotions and did not carefully examine the situation in the school.

On the other hand, Fan Qiang was very active. He sat on the left side of the car, moved his body and stretched his neck to look at Jinghu Junior High School, and said, "Has Jinghu Junior High School started? You didn't receive..."

Lin Feifan slapped Fan Qiang's arm to stop him from continuing. There were many people in the car, and he didn't want others to know that he was assigned to work in Jinghu Junior High School.

What a shame!

Fan Qiang understood, leaned on the seat, and said nothing.

In fact, Fan Qiang was also assigned to Jinghu Junior High School, but was seconded by Lingnan High School, that is, the personnel relationship was in Jinghu Junior High School, and he was working in Lingnan High School.

With a creak, the door opened.

When the two came up, the door squeaked and closed again.

The two people who came up walked straight back. There were no seats in front of them, only the last row had a few seats.
