My village can't be like this

Chapter 231 River God
When Wang Fang heard the voice, she knew they were all coming, so she also walked out of the house.

"Uncle, Auntie, we are here to disturb you two again."

After getting off the car, Ding Yi took Li Li to greet Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo with a smile.

This is Ding Yi's habit, every time he comes to Zhang An's house, he has to greet Zhang An's parents first.

When Li Li came here last time, she also met Zhang An's family, so she could be regarded as an acquaintance.

So Li Li also followed Ding Yi to say hello uncle and aunt.

"What kind of trouble do you say, don't disturb others, Auntie is very happy that you can come here."

"And don't bring anything when you were not asked to come last time, why do you still bring it with you child?"

It's not that Wang Fang is hypocritical, it's because there are too many of these things in the house.

Usually, Wang Fang and the others don't use it at all, so they can only give it to relatives at home.

Ding Yi listened, just followed Wang Fang's meaning with a smile and said that he would not bring it next time.

"Xiao An, take them to sit indoors, there is so much sun outside."

Wang Fang still felt sorry for her daughter-in-law, and brought Su Ying into the house as soon as she came out.

"Yingying is here this time, so let's not leave."

"Mmm, Auntie, I won't leave this time."

After entering the house, Wang Fang was worried that they would be too hot, so she took several fans at home to blow on them.

"Sit down for a while, I'll make the meal, we'll eat in a while."

Taking advantage of the fact that it's not time for dinner yet, the diners haven't come to the door yet, and Su Ying and Ding Yi have already arrived.

So Wang Fang thought that while she was free now, she quickly settled the lunch.

Otherwise, when it's time for dinner, after the diners come to the door, I won't be able to take care of lunch.

It doesn't matter if it's late on weekdays, but now that there are guests at home, Wang Fang doesn't want everyone to starve together.

Zhang An followed behind, took all the things Su Ying brought from the car, and moved them upstairs to the prepared room.

Then he took Ding and drove to the yard of the old house to park the car.

Even Zhang An's own car is now parked in the courtyard of the old house, just to not take up space.

Because there are a lot of people in the village these two days, the courtyard is basically used to set up tables during meals.

As soon as he arrived at the old house, Zhang An opened the door and let Ding drive in.

It may be because of the too much movement, which startled all the stone pounds in the frog pond, and started howling loudly one by one.

"Zhang An, what is so noisy in your house?"

Shi Pound's cry was really loud, it was impossible for Ding Yi not to hear it.

So after stopping the car, he followed the sound and lifted the board that Zhang An had put on the pool.

"Why are there so many toads in this pond?"

Looking at those stone pounds at the bottom of the pool, Ding Yi was frightened for a moment.

"If you say you don't know the goods, you still don't believe it. This thing is called a stone frog. It's delicious, but it's not a toad."

Zhang An took a look and found that besides the few stone pounds he put in, there were many young frogs and tadpoles inside.

This young frog should have just grown its limbs, and its tail has not fully degenerated.

"Stone frog? I thought it was a toad, it looks too similar."

Shi Pound's body is the same as that of Mani Pibao, he has many raised bumps.

So Ding Yi just glanced at it, and it's normal to admit his mistake, after all, he didn't grow up in the mountains.

"The stone frog and the toad are actually different. Look, the pimples on this stone frog are very small. In fact, they are just rough skin. They are not as big as the toad."

As Zhang An said, he even grabbed one and showed it to him carefully.

Ding Yi originally refused, but Zhang An directly grabbed one and handed it to him.

So I suppressed it and took a look, and found that the bump on my back really wasn't like a toad.

Then Zhang An put back the stone pound in his hand and covered the wooden board.

"I remember that the pond in your family used to raise fish, why is it being raised now?"

When Ding Yi came to Zhang An's house for the first time, Zhang An cooked for them with freshly caught fish in this pond.

"Now I have a fish pond at home, so I don't want to use this small pond, and I don't want to waste it, so I just raise a few stone frogs."

Zhang An and Ding Yi went back from the old house, and the lunch at home was ready.

The few children who went out to play today didn't need anyone to go out to find them, so they came back by themselves.

As soon as she saw Su Ying coming, Yanzi immediately jumped on her.

"Sister-in-law, you are here, I miss you."

But before she rushed in front of Su Ying, she was grabbed by the third aunt.

"Why are you howling? Look at the mud all over your body, which has stained your sister-in-law's clothes. Hurry up and wash it off first."

In the past, seeing the little girl covered in mud would probably have taught her a lesson.

But today when Su Ying was here, the third aunt didn't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, so she spared the two brothers and sisters first.

At noon, just as Zhang An's family had finished eating and put down their bowls, some people who had gone to the river beach to play in the water came back.

It's already meal time, and Zhang An's family has increased.

Even without being greeted by adults, Zhang Xing and Zhang Tie took the initiative to set up a table in the yard to serve tea and water for everyone.

Zhang An used to do this work by himself, but a few days ago, after they came to help for a day, Wang Fang gave them some pocket money at night.

So the sweetness has been tasted, and they come to help on time every day when it is time to eat.

Today is not Saturday, and there are not many people here, so there is no need for Zhang An to help.

"Zhang An, if there's nothing else, let's go play in the lotus pond you mentioned."

After eating and drinking at home, Ding Yi yelled that he was going to play on the river beach.

"Okay then, let's go out for a walk."

Zhang An found two parasols from home and handed one to Ding Yi.

He opened it himself and covered Su Ying's head before leading them out.

With such a big sun outside, Zhang An didn't want to tan the white teacher Xiao Su.

Her delicate skin and tender flesh must be uncomfortable at night if she is exposed to the sun for a while.

"It seems that your village has really worked hard. The road is paved with bluestone slabs."

When they came here for the first time, Zhang An took them to an outdoor barbecue.

At that time, this road was still a ridge road, which was fine on sunny days, but not on rainy days.

Now the road has been dug and paved with bluestone slabs. It is not only flat, but also more spacious than before.

"Isn't this the flooded pond we came to? But there are really many people."

After a while, a few people came to the lotus pond.

"Look at the lotus in the water. It's not very impressive to call it a lotus pond. My uncle thought the name Shuiyantang was too vulgar, so he changed it to a new one."

Even though it is noon now and many people have gone back to eat, there are still quite a few people in the water now.

In the dam next to it, there are many stalls of various kinds, and there are many snacks selling cold noodle jelly.

As Zhang An said, he walked to a nearby place selling popsicles and bought some popsicles to cool everyone down.

"Brother An Zi, you're here too, hey, sister-in-law is here too."

When Huang Ming saw Zhang An, he ran over and shouted.

"Yeah, they just came here in the morning, and they came for a walk after dinner."

When he just came over, Zhang An saw Huang Ming and his father setting up a stall in front.

"Da Ming, your business is very good."

You don't even need to look over there, Zhang An already knew that Huang Ming's family sold crayfish here.

Zhang Tie said in the morning that Huang Ming collected a lot of crayfish from their group of dolls.

This guy can't get up early without profit, and it was the same when he went to pick kiwis last time.

Some people bought this guy and went to the mountains every day instead of going to the town.

"Hey, I just saw that no one was selling it, so I bought it to test the waters. I didn't expect the business to be very good."

The business is really not bad at the moment, many people are eating crayfish at their stall.

"Brother An Zi, take my sister-in-law and Boss Ding and the others to have a taste, and see if my shrimp is as good as yours."

As Huang Ming said, he was about to pull Zhang An to the side of the stall.

"No need Daming, we just finished lunch, you should go greet those guests quickly."

Don't look at Huang Ming's business is good, but it doesn't last long.

Because no one is selling it now, when everyone knows, there are many people who like this crayfish.

At that time, there must be a bunch of people in the village to catch shrimps, and then sell them specially.

"Help, everyone, help me."

A few people were talking, and they understood that there was a commotion in the dam.

It seems that a child refused to listen and insisted on climbing over the fence and running to the deep water area, and now he drowned.

Hearing the shouts at this moment, many people in the village jumped into the water to save people.

Zhang An was not idle either, after handing the umbrella to Su Ying, he also jumped into the water.

After swimming to the middle of the water, Zhang An found the drowning child.

At this moment, there was a huge black shadow supporting him under him.

When Zhang An saw this shadow, he knew that it was Da Laoqing, who saved Zhang An last time.

"You guys, what a big fish, it saved the child."

People on the shore soon spotted the child surfacing from the river.

Taking a closer look, I found a huge figure of Da Laoqing in the water.

"Son, don't talk nonsense, that's the river god."

"That's right, this is the river god in the big river."

The moment they saw the child being rescued, everyone cheered on the shore.

At this time, Da Laoqing saw Zhang An in the water, so he patted the water surface with his tail.

It means that it saved people again, and Zhang An should reward it.

Zhang An looked at the rammed goods, a little dumbfounded.

Immediately, he touched a fish from space in the water, handed it in front of it, and was immediately eaten by it.

Anyway, in the water, no one can see it.

When Zhang An held the little boy in his arms, Da Laoqing turned his head and dived into the water.

The surface of the river, which had just been turned upside down by the waves, began to regain its calm.

"Uncle, it's so powerful."

Seeing the disappearing Da Laoqing, the child hanging on Zhang An seemed a little disappointed.

"Of course, otherwise, how could I have saved you, but I have to learn a lesson in the future, and I can't go to places where the water is deep."

"Uncle, I actually know how to swim, but I just had cramps in my feet, and then I sank."

Needless to say, Zhang An also knew that he was good at swimming.

After sinking underwater for so long, I didn't get choked.

If it were someone who didn't know how to drink water, he would have already had enough to drink in it.

"Even if you can swim, you can't be proud. Look at you, didn't you just cramp? There were many accidents."

Zhang An originally wanted to say that most of the drowned people could swim, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything.

After all, I am not familiar with others, so it is not good to say such things, and they will be taboo.

"Well, I see."

Seeing Zhang An bring the man to the shore, everyone who had just entered the water to save the man swam back.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you for your help."

Finding that their child was fine, the child's parents thanked everyone.

"It's okay, it's okay, if you want to thank him, thank the God of the River, it saved the people, we dare not be greedy for credit."

When Zhang An was in the water, he heard everyone call the big herring the river god.

Needless to say, as soon as Zhang An finished speaking, the adults asked the child to kowtow to the river.

But Zhang An didn't stop him, Da Laoqing saved his life, he deserves his thanks.

Su Ying watched from the side, with a strange expression on her face.

Others don't know what's going on with this fish, but she knows it all in her heart.

But there were so many people at the moment, she didn't say anything.

At this moment, Zhang Jianwen came running over. He had just heard that someone was drowning in the dam, so he rushed here immediately.

The lotus pond is the first place to make money in the village, and he doesn't want anything to happen here.

"Xiao An, what's going on?"

Seeing that the drowning child was rescued, Zhang Jianwen also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as nothing happened.

Hearing the old uncle's question, Zhang An told the old uncle the cause and effect.

In fact, the child relied on his own water skills, so he climbed over the fence and swam to the deep water area without paying attention.

The water flow in this dam is very gentle. If you can swim normally, there will be no problem.

It's just that the child suddenly had cramps in his feet, and he panicked all of a sudden, so he sank into the water.

When Zhang Jianwen heard Zhang An say that there was such a big fish in the river, and he saved the child who fell into the water, he felt a little unreal.

I've lived here for decades and never heard of such a thing.

In fact, Zhang Jianwen had seen Da Laoqing before, that was when Zhang An caught Da Laoqing last time.

It's just that he doesn't think about it now.

But seeing so many people speak with certainty, he could only attribute it to the spirituality of this great river.

At this time, the child's parents and uncles came to care, and kept saying sorry to everyone.

Zhang Jianwen saw that the child was fine, so he didn't say anything, but just gave a few words of advice to take care of the child next time.

Zhang An looked at and sighed, everyone is so simple now, they even apologized.

In the next few decades, such things will not be uncommon.

When encountering such a thing, many people will not look for their own reasons. They will first blame you and take the responsibility for you.

In fact, the village has done a good job, and wooden fences have been installed on the edge of the shallow water area in the dam.

It is separated by a large row of wooden fences, as long as it is not intentionally crossed, it must be difficult to pass.

At that time, the most expensive part of the village's reconstruction was the wooden fences in these isolated areas.

If you really want to find a loophole, you can only say that the village did not send people to guard here, or the wooden fence is not high enough.

But with the alarm bell ringing by this child, the old man decided that he must find someone to watch over him, so as not to cause any accidents.
