Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 144 Letter

  The whole village is as lively as the Chinese New Year. The children are especially excited, and the adults are also very happy. Although the village chief asked the men to speak after dinner, expressing some worries about the upstream river dam.

  But it is the end of autumn, and the flood season of the river has passed. Even if the river dam breaks, there is no risk of flooding them downstream. Everyone is an ordinary villager, so naturally there is no result to be discussed, and it is over if it is reported to the district chief at most.

  Every household had so many big fishes and small fishes for nothing, and they were so happy that the smell of fish was floating in the village early the next morning.

  No way, the fish has left the river to live soon, so they still have to be cleaned up. The dead fish are not tasty, and they can’t be kept.

  Zhou Dalang and the others got up early in the morning, replaced the wooden barrel with water, and caught the most energetic batch of fish from the tank, which they planned to transport to the county for sale.

  Although they have a river here, it is in a mountainous area. It is rare to see big fish. On Tuesday Lang estimates it shouldn’t be too difficult to sell, provided that they have to be ahead of others.

  Thursday Lang and Friday Lang still have to go to the county to sell ginger, and bring a full treasure letter along with fried dried fish. Friday Lang also brought a bag of sugar, which he planned to sell to Miss Fu Er to increase his income.

  The children in the school are carefree. After school, they still want to get to the river to catch another fish. Mr. Zhuang scolded them while watching the calming river water with anxiety.

  It can be seen that the current water level has risen much more than before. Originally, due to the decrease in rain at the end of autumn, the water level has fallen, exposing many roots of water plants, but now the tops of these plants are submerged.

Mr. Zhuang sighed and didn't know how the county government planned to repair the dams upstream. If I remember correctly, the dams upstream have not been built for more than five years, right?

  It’s not the first time Miss Fu Er received Manbao’s gift, but it was the first time she received food.

The cold dried fish tasted a little bad. Miss Fu Er pinched a kerchief and took a bite carefully. After chewing it, she felt good, so she gave the box to the girl and asked her to put it on the paper. The way it is written is hot and oily.

  Ms. Fu Er then began to read Man Bao’s letter.

  In the letter, Man Bao emphasized the lively scene of fishing for fish yesterday, and Miss Fu Er was envious of the wish for the upstream dam.

  The magistrate of Fu County returned to the backyard for dinner at noon, Miss Fu Er, as a show of filial piety, specially divided half of the dried fish and let them bring them to the dinner table.

  She thinks this little fish is crispy and crispy after being dried and heated, and it is really delicious.

   County magistrate Fu also thought it was delicious. After eating several bites, he laughed with his wife: "This fish is good. Is it a new dish?"

Mrs. Fu glanced at it and said with a smile: "This is not made in the kitchen at home. It was sent to the kitchen by Wen Yun. I don't know how to do it yet?"

  "Oh?" Madam Fu looked at his second daughter and asked with a smile, "Which store did you buy this from?"

  Fu Wenyun was also a little happy to see his father liked it, and explained: "It was not bought, but it was given by my friend."

   Fu Wenxuanle on the side, "Is that the little girl who sells your sweets? Maybe she wants to sell you this little fish, so let me give you some to taste it first?"

Fu Wenyun was not so happy that the eldest sister mentioned Man Bao’s tone, and said: "Man Bao is not that kind of person. She has always said that this fish was fished by their family yesterday, and there are not many. The letter said it was just sent. It’s just a taste for me, it may not be there in the future."

The magistrate Fu was not interested in the friendships of his daughters, nodded perfunctorily, and asked casually, "Is their family fishing for a living? Autumn fish are plump, and if you have good fish, you can send her home." , Pay as much money as you should."

   "No, it's the farmer's family, and they are lucky. Yesterday, the dam upstream of their village broke, and a lot of fish were washed down, so their family can catch so many fish."

  Linger Fu, who happened to have a bite of the meal, was immediately choked and couldn't help coughing violently.

  The people at the dinner table were shocked. Mrs. Fu quickly patted him on the back, "Master, what's the matter with you?"

  Fu county magistrate got stuck in his throat and his eyes were red from coughing. Fu Wenxuan quickly poured a glass of water for his father.

   County magistrate Fu took the water, coughed violently, and then smoothed his breath, grabbed Fu Wenyun's hand, and asked with red eyes, "You, what did you just say?"

  Fu Wenyun was only ten years old. She was so frightened that she stammered and asked, "I, I didn't say anything?"

   "No, it's not right, you just said where did they catch their fish?"

   "The river, the river..." Fu Wenyun's eyes were filled with tears, and Mrs. Fu couldn't help but yelled, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

   "Why are there fish in the river?"

   "Oh, there is no fish in the river, where is the fish?" Mrs. Fu couldn't help but said.

  Fu Wenyun suddenly woke up and said: "It is said that the dam of a village above them broke, and a lot of river water washed down, even with fish."

  The magistrate Fu asked, "Where is their village?"

   "I remember she said it was called Qili Village."

  "Qili Village, Qili Village...Isn't that in Baimaguan Town?" The magistrate Fu murmured, and quickly asked: "Where is her letter? There are people casualties, and the fertile fields have been flooded..."

  Finally, Fu Wenyun gave Man Bao’s letter to her father.

  There are a few thick sheets, Manbao’s words have already begun to bear fruit, at least they can be read, although in Fu Xianling’s eyes, the words are still very immature, but he is not in the mood to appreciate the words at the moment.

He read the letter at a glance, and was not interested in those childlike descriptions. He quickly scanned it and found that throughout the four pieces of paper, he only mentioned that the upstream dam was broken twice, and once when he was describing fishing. , Which showed why so many fish suddenly appeared in the river in their village. The last time was at the end of the letter. The child made a wish and hoped that the dam upstream would be broken again tomorrow, preferably every day, so they You can fish every day.

  Fu County Order:...

  This is really, where are the bear kids from?

  Finally, the magistrate Fu wrote a volume of the letter and went directly to the front office. The magistrate Fu did not go home that night. He heard that he had gone to the countryside.

  Man Bao knew nothing about it. He slept soundly in the sound of insects, and stretched a little when he got up the next day. She could eat fried fish again this morning.

  Man Bao happily washed his face and hands, and sat obediently at the dinner table waiting for breakfast.

As a result, her early food came up, and there was a gong ringing outside, and Man Bao jumped up and was about to run out, trying to join in the fun, but the little Qian’s eyes quickly grabbed him, "What are you going to do, hurry up and eat? To go to school."

  Man Bao pointed outside and said, "The gong is knocking outside."

   "That was the village head calling the men in the village to have a meeting. It has nothing to do with you, so I ate and went to school."

  Man Bao bowed his head a little regretfully, then raised his head again and asked, "Sister-in-law, is the upstream dam broken again? The village chief told everyone to catch fish?"

  Xiao Qian’s toothache, the village head’s age is not much worse than that of his father-in-law, but his generation is younger. Can Man Bao stop calling him his brother?

  Well, although she should be called his brother.
