Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

Seeing the members who were indignant but still ready to fight, Secretary Qin and Ma Xuewu were helpless and could only turn their eyes to Li Weijun.

They hoped that he could perform another miracle and make the members of the two villages shake hands and make peace, turning hostility into friendship.

Seeing the attentive looks of the two secretaries, Li Weijun couldn't help but roll his eyes.

What is going on?

If there was a big mess, I might be able to help out, but because there was a fight between two villages over water, the mess caused by this matter was very tricky.

Li Weijun coughed and had an idea: "This time when we go to the countryside to purchase, whichever village can be the first to supply the materials to be purchased will be the first village to be considered when there is a big order next time."

Secretary Qin also stepped forward tactfully, holding his cane and shouting loudly: "Fellow villagers of Cantou Village, please rest assured. I will apologize to you for the dispute over water this time. It was us from Qinjia Village who went too far. Give me some time, and I will open the dam and release water the next day."

After hearing this, the two young men from the two villages, who had been looking at each other with stern eyes, no longer had the energy to argue with each other. They quickly scattered like birds and beasts, urging the secretary to return to the village as soon as possible to prepare supplies.

Before leaving, Ma Xuewu winked and stuffed something into Li Weijun's arms.

After the people walked away, Li Weijun took a look in the space. Wow, the brown paper envelope was filled with densely written records of the crimes committed by Xu Fugui and Xu Damao, father and son, when they went to the countryside to show movies.

His crimes were too numerous to list, such as knocking on widows' doors at night, destroying watermelon fields, and punching old men.

Obviously, this old fox took great pains to draw a clear line between himself and the Xu father and son. At the same time, he also understood the principle of cutting the grass at its roots. Through these accusations, he wanted to completely eliminate the chances of the Xu father and son to revive.

However, Li Weijun had no effect on his little tricks.

Xu Damao's sister has become his bedmate, not to mention that he has the support of Li Huaide, a big tree, so Xu Damao can't cause any trouble at all.

So after just a quick glance, Li Weijun threw the letter into a corner to collect dust.

After the storm subsided, Wei Dacun and Qin Rongguang led the members to continue fishing, while Song Gongming caught a few fresh fish and went back to the house with a smile to light the stove and cook.

Li Weijun was just about to roll up his trouser legs and go into the river with a scoop net, eager to try to catch fish.

Secretary Qin, who was smoking a cigarette nearby, suddenly said, "Weijun, I always feel that there is something fishy about this. Over the years, Ma Xuewu has led the members of Cantou Village to make a lot of noise but not much action. Every year when he comes to make trouble, we open the dam and release water. Why are they fighting without following the rules today?"

Li Weijun was stunned for a moment: "You mean, someone is deliberately making trouble and disrupting this purchase?"

"Alas, there is no evidence. Maybe I am overthinking it, maybe not. Anyway, the longer the night, the more dreams there are."

Secretary Qin sighed, and in order to prevent further complications, he specially dispatched several armed militiamen to patrol the fish pond back and forth.

I was afraid that someone with bad intentions would bring some medicine to the fish, and then all the fish in the pond would turn belly up.

Seeing Secretary Qin's tense expression, Li Weijun comforted him with a few words, then he and Qin Huairu went into the water one after another.

They hold a scoop net together and enjoy the joy of catching fish.

This scoop net, which is in the shape of an inverted triangle, has a simple structure, made by sewing a torn fishing net onto a wooden tripod.

Two or one person can hold it and head towards the place with lots of aquatic plants.

When the net was lifted up, the caught fish was struggling in the net bag.

It is much more efficient than fishing in the river or stabbing fish with a harpoon. The only drawback is that this thing can catch both meat and vegetables.

Anything can be caught in the net. There may be fish and shrimp, but there may also be colorful water snakes, leeches, river clams and the like.

Although water snakes are not very poisonous, being bitten by one will cause a large lump. In this era of backward medical conditions, the wound may become ulcerated and inflamed if it is not disinfected in time.

What's more, since the fish pond is not large, and the people from Qinjia Village have temporarily kept all the fish they caught these days here.

Therefore, it is common to catch a dozen fresh fish jumping around in one go.

"Wei Jun didn't realize that a city kid like you could use these things. I haven't touched a landing net for nearly ten years. I'm very clumsy."

Qin Huairu looked at Li Weijun, who was skilled in the technique and had an excited look on his face, and felt a long-lost happiness in her heart.

"No way, it's just an accident. Practice makes perfect. Oh! Sister Qin, look, there's a snake under your feet. It's swimming towards you. It's swimming towards you."

Li Weijun seriously tried to scare Qin Huairu by jumping on the water surface, causing the beautiful lady to tremble and subconsciously throw herself into Li Weijun's arms.

When he heard the hearty laughter and realized that he had been deceived, he quickly glared at Li Weijun: "You are not honest, you only bully people, how can you be a water snake?"

Li Weijun smiled without saying anything, and squeezed his eyes downward: "Isn't this it?"

Following the line of sight, I arrived at a location that was both surprising and delightful.

Qin Huairu's pretty face turned red, she spat, and said in a low voice: "Bah! You have no shame, who would hide a rolling pin inside?"

As he said this, he pretended to touch it accidentally.

Fortunately, the river was waist-deep, and the surrounding members were busy and didn't notice the situation at all. Otherwise, according to the village's habit of gossip,

It probably won’t be long before everyone in the village knows that Jia Dongxu’s hair has turned green.

The two of them were flirting and having a great time.

It was a tough situation for Old Man Qin, who was not far away and was secretly observing the movements of his daughter and Li Weijun.

If at the beginning he only suspected that Qin Huairu and Li Weijun had a close relationship, now Qin Rongguang could almost guarantee it.

My eldest daughter, who married far away in the city, must be having an affair.

Emotions may be disguised, but the joy revealed in every frown and smile cannot be hidden.

Although the son-in-law Jia Dongxu was a rubbish, he at least married Qin Huairu to her through three matchmakers and six engagements.

It is reasonable and logical that he is the future son-in-law of the Qin family.

After all, truth will come to light. If the affair between Qin Huairu and Li Weijun were to be exposed, it would be strange if I, as a father, was not scolded.

Thinking of this, Qin Rongguang felt a little uncomfortable, but when he saw his daughter, who hadn't smiled for a long time, laughing heartily, she looked carefree, happy and innocent.

In the end, Qin Rongguang could only sigh and concentrate on the work at hand.

After fishing up these several hundred kilograms of fish and putting them on the scale, Qin Rongguang calculated the weight and found that there were more than 900 kilograms, far more than the estimated 600 kilograms. This did not include the salted fish that were hung out to dry. With those salted fish, the weight would be more than 1,000 kilograms.

"Leader, look, this extra ..."

Qin Rongguang frowned and was about to say something.

Secretary Qin, who knew he was in the wrong, tried to smooth things over: "Wei Jun, I'm old and my eyes are blurry. I miscalculated the weight. It's about 1,000 kilograms. You see, we've already fished it out. Why don't we collect it all together?"

Looking at Secretary Qin who was smiling, Li Weijun refused categorically: "Old Secretary, it's not that I'm being ruthless. To be honest, let alone 500 kilograms more than the estimate, I can accept any more, but Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao, and here are the rules we agreed on before. I won't accept any more!"
