The Garden Life of a Little Gardener

In this cold weather, the dripping water is almost frozen outside. In this weather, no matter how powerful the man is, he wants to hide on the kang in the house, eat hot pot and drink hot soup, and he doesn't want to go out easily.

But in the village with two surnames, most of the young and old in the village went out of the house wearing thick clothes against the northwest wind in this weather, and came to the small river beside the village to wait for someone.

What they were waiting for was the staff of the river management office in the county. Since the ice show project was identified as a new highlight of the farmhouse in the village to attract tourists, the village has been making reports with the county to apply for the right to use the river outside the village in winter.

Ice play has existed in Northeast China since ancient times, and it has lasted for a long time. It is not uncommon for this kind of river or lake to apply for the right to use it after it freezes, and it is not uncommon to operate entertainment projects. It happens every year in cities and counties, and it has long been confirmed. Rules and procedures.

Now people in the village are waiting for the river management office to go through the process. The people there have to come to confirm whether the ice layer on the river surface for the ice rink is thick enough and whether it meets the basic conditions for opening the business.

Originally, it was enough for the village chief to come forward to accompany him in such a matter, but whether the ice rink can be approved smoothly is related to the operation of the farmhouse business in the village, and also indirectly affects the lives and livelihoods of most people in the village.

So the villagers who knew the news didn't need to be specially organized, and they came to watch the fun spontaneously. Anyway, the flower shed didn't enter the picking period until the end of the month, and there were few things in winter, so they just watched the fun.

Among the crowd who joined in the fun, Zhou Quanzai and Bao Erlong were also there. Chef Bao was busy with his homestay and didn't have time to come here. Chen Wenli was on duty this morning and left early in the morning.

Waiting outside in the cold weather is really not a comfortable job, especially Bao Erlong didn't wear a hat when he came out, he only put earmuffs on his ears. Swish air.

"Uncle, didn't you say you'll be here soon? I've been waiting for more than ten minutes and there's no sign of anyone. When will they come?" Bao Erlong asked, who was getting colder the longer he waited.

"It's coming soon. When I called, it was said that the car had already arrived in the town. Now, let's check the time. It should be here." Village Chief Chen replied.

"If you want me to say that there are many things in the county, I still need to investigate the scene. Just the small river at the entrance of our village, the water is so deep and the ice is so thick, and the temperature can be slippery and people have to avoid it. We know those people in the city. many?"

"That is, we can walk and skate on the river outside the village. Not to mention the creek in the village, the water is shallow enough to reach the ankle. With the current weather and temperature, the creek in the village can freeze from scratch In the end, it freezes from the surface of the water to the bottom. Every year, the fish in the creek go to the small river outside the village to overwinter, so how can there be any danger in this condition?"

"There is also the small river outside the village, which is the river that the river management will investigate later. When the water rises in summer, the deepest part is no more than our thighs, let alone in winter. The deepest part can It’s not bad to go from the knee to the thigh, and what’s the problem if you just fall like this, at most your shoes and pants will be wet.”

"Hey, what's the use of saying this, we have to go through the formalities in order to run a normal business, just wait."

While talking, Village Chief Chen answered another call, and the other party confirmed the location with him again, and soon the van with the words "river management" painted on its body stopped at the entrance of the village with two surnames.

When Village Chief Chen arrived at the application form, he often went to the river management office in the county, and he was already familiar with the staff there.

Seeing the two people getting off the car, the eldest cousin of the Chen family greeted them warmly and said, "Section Chief Liu, Xiao Feng, welcome, welcome. I'll let you take a trip in such a cold day."

The middle-aged man called Section Chief Liu is actually a deputy section chief. My cousin accidentally didn’t call that adverb. It's even better.

Sure enough, when he heard the name of the uncle of the Chen family, the middle-aged man named Chief Liu said with a smile on his face: "Old Chen, you are out of touch by saying that, it's all for work, and we are also for the masses. Service. We have already understood the basic water patterns of the small river where you are applying for the construction of an outdoor ice play venue. There is no problem and the conditions are suitable. As long as the temperature and ice thickness meet the requirements, your ice play venue can be built at any time. "

"Thank you so much, please measure the ice thickness of the small river now."

The two people from the river management office came here to do this job, so they were happy to arrive. After getting off the car, they took their tools and went to the river outside the village entrance.

The ice area of ​​the river channel that Liangxing Village applied for this time is very large, and it can stretch for five or six kilometers. Such a large usable area will not be less than the number of guests it will undertake in the future, and the safety work will naturally not be sloppy. The reason why the River Management Office specially came to a deputy department-level cadre.

On the river, Section Chief Liu didn't allow too many people to accompany him, but only ordered the staff of his own department that Village Chief Chen was calling. The two of them planed holes on the river to collect ice while listening to the village chief's introduction.

After a lot of busy work, everyone got a piece of news that made them very satisfied. The ice thickness of the small river outside the village has reached the requirements for opening an outdoor ice play venue.

After hearing the news, the villagers happily sent off Section Chief Liu and Xiao Feng. Afterwards, Village Chief Chen called the members of the village committee again to discuss how to allocate and use the river surface, as well as the management fee for the river and the ice show. How to share the cost of the field.

Zhou Quan did not participate this time, because everyone had already discussed these matters in the morning. At that time, the basic regulations had already been determined, and the village committee had to make the final confirmation.

Now it is obvious that the voting session of the village committee is going to be used. Zhou Quan is not a member of the village committee, and it is useless to go there. It is better to go home and drink the beef soup specially stewed for him by Brother Baoyan.

Just when Zhou Quan returned home and was preparing to enjoy a bowl of thick beef soup, Zhao Ergun and his son were being dragged out of the house viciously in a small yard in the urban-rural fringe of the city.

Zhao Ergun was dragged to the ground, and his son Zhao Shun was kicked several times because he dared to resist. The father and son were surrounded in the middle, and the debt collectors kicked them several times.

Having learned the lesson, Zhao Ergun endured the pain on his body and cried, "Brother Bao, I was wrong, you can bypass us."

The man called Brother Leopard had a quack look on his face. He was wearing a black leather jacket with the zipper still open in Dadongong. A gold chain as thick as a little finger hung out from the middle of the coat around his neck. It was so shiny that it dazzled the eyes.

He stepped on his leather shoes and walked into the crowd, poked Zhao Ergun's face with the toe of his shoes and said, "Okay, you still dare to run away even if you owe me money. At the end of the year, let our brothers go up and down the mountains and seas to look for you everywhere. I really don't have the guts." Small."

Speaking of which, Brother Bao's originally raised foot suddenly stepped down hard, and it happened to step on Zhao Ergun's hand that was lying on the ground.

Brother Leopard, who is quite a big brother, also has a weight that meets the requirements of a big brother. The weight of 180 catties is directly stepped on a person's hand, and Zhao Ergun suddenly cried out for his father and mother in pain.

"It doesn't matter what you call today. The money I borrowed from you must be returned to me with interest, otherwise you won't have a sore hand."

"Ah, ah, Brother Bao, I know, but I really don't have any money. If I have money, I will definitely return it to you."

"No money? Oh, that boy, your father has no money, do you have any?"

Zhao Shun, who was covered in dirt all over his body, shook his head timidly when he heard the words.

"It seems that both of you father and son are determined not to pay me back? If you don't have money, you don't have to pay me back? If you are like you, how can I do business? Don't think I can't deal with you, don't you have money? It’s enough if someone is there, and there’s a lack of organs recently, so the two of you should be enough.”

Hearing these words, Zhao Ergun was almost scared to pee, he shivered and screamed: "Don't, don't, brother Bao, I still have a son, my eldest son has money, he must have money to return to you .”

Brother Leopard said disdainfully after hearing the words: "How can you have a rich son with your disgraceful appearance? Don't be dreaming?"

"Brother Bao, I really have an older son who runs a homestay in Liangsurname Village. You know the Baojia homestay, right? He is the owner of that homestay, which is very famous recently."

"Baojia homestay? I heard that these days are very popular. My father-in-law and the others went there in summer. But are you lying to me? My father-in-law mentioned that the two owners of the homestay, one Xingbao and Xingzhou, which one of them is your son? Why isn't your son surnamed Zhao?"

"The big boss named Bao is my son. He follows his mother's style. He has never been raised by my side since he was a child. He was taught by his mother and people in his mother's village. He is not of one mind with me. But Brother Bao, you Don't worry, no matter what, he is my son, and I am his father. I don't believe that he dares not help me when I am in trouble. He needs a reputation to open a store, and he will not ignore me for the sake of a good reputation. He will definitely help me pay back the money."

As soon as Zhao Ergun finished his sentence, he was kicked in the face. Brother Bao said angrily: "There is trouble? What is trouble? We are bad people? You never said that when you took money from me." Pass."

Zhao Ergun, who was bleeding from the nose, got up from the ground and said flatteringly: "I can't speak, brother Bao, calm down, I'll send you my eldest son's phone number."

Looking at the phone number of Xin Shuru on the phone, Brother Bao was skeptical, but he tried to dial it.
