Chapter 19 The Village Gathering
"There is something big, you two get out of the way. Li Wen stood up, asked the two little guys sitting behind him to step aside, and began to walk the fish back and forth. Five minutes passed, and the bamboo pole snapped with a snap. Li Wen had quick eyes and quick hands.
, I directly grabbed the front end and pulled the fish up.”
"Wow, Brother Wenzi, you are awesome. I can't even pick up this fish. Li Qiang tried to pick up the catfish but was slapped twice on the ears by the fish's tail. The pain made the child scream.
The big catfish weighing more than 20 kilograms was very strong. Li Wen walked over, picked it up and threw it into the grass behind. He did not put it into the bamboo basket in the water for fear of being knocked over.
In the next hour or so, six or seven big fish weighing more than ten kilograms were pulled up by Li Wen. The adults in the village had already begun to leave work. Dozens of people were sitting on the grass behind Li Wen.
The children looked at the reservoir quietly without saying anything, and they were even better behaved than in class.
The adults also rushed to the reservoir to watch, and were shocked by the scene.
My dear, these dolls are very obedient. They all sat there quietly and motionless, and everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Shhh! Don’t talk. Talking fish will easily frighten you and break the hook. Li Wen looked at the crowd and whispered.
The sky turned completely dark, and Li Wen took the bait with a few more big fish. Everyone was shocked. Li Wen then raised the float higher, hoping to catch big fish.
Ten minutes later, there was a crash and the bamboo pole bent. Li Wen quickly jumped up and walked the fish along the shore.
"Oh my god, is this a carp? It's too big. It's over one meter long. Is this a carp?" Everyone on the bank pointed at the big fish in the water that was tug-of-war with Li Wen and shouted.
.
Don't shout. The more you shout, the frightened the fish will become and the stronger it will become. Li Wen is almost exhausted.
"Come and help me. After more than ten minutes of tug-of-war with the big fish, Li Wen ran out of energy and shouted to the crowd."
I'm coming, I'm coming too. The second uncle in the crowd and the production team leader Li Junli ran over and hurriedly grabbed the fishing rod.
Because the two of them didn't know how to use their skills and could only pull hard, the pull hurt the carp. It turned over and jumped out of the water, and then flicked its tail and broke the bamboo pole.
Soon, the fish took the fishing line away. Li Wen was sitting on the shore panting. When he saw it, he jumped up immediately. At this time, several young people in the village jumped directly into the reservoir and swam towards a small bamboo pole.
I saw a young man grabbing the tail of the fish. The carp was frightened and immediately swung its tail and hit the young man in the face. The snap was heard clearly by everyone on the shore.
In the end, the big fish escaped with the fishing line, and several people swam back fortunately.
"Oh! How can we fish now that there is no fishing line?" Li Wen clapped his thighs and regretted, "How could I even think about catching big fish?" Li Wen looked at the reservoir with red eyes.
"Okay Awen, everyone has tried their best. The big carp is really too strong. The second uncle patted Li Wen on the shoulder and said."
At this time, the production team leader also smiled and said: "That's fine, don't worry about it. There has been a lot of fuss over Awen's fishing gear these days, and everyone is not active at work.
Li Wen came back to his senses and looked at the lawn behind. It was really crowded. Most of the village came to the reservoir.
"Uncle Junli, there are so many people, even if I catch the fish this afternoon, it won't be enough for everyone to share!"
"That's right. I didn't expect that your fishing would have such a big impact. The whole village came to watch." Li Junli scratched his head and said.
At this time, accountant Li Desheng came out and said with a smile: "Well, I think the fish Xiaowen caught weighs two to three hundred pounds, and our village only has a population of more than a thousand, so we might as well have a big dinner, which happens to be a good time for the summer harvest."
A celebration.”
"That's right, that's right. Let the commune check our work results when the time comes," Li Junli said with a smile.
"Uncle Eighth, Uncle Junli, do you think this will work? The dozen big fish weighing more than 200 kilograms can be given to the village for a big dinner. I want to share the more than thirty small fish in the basket with these children.
The children have been with me all afternoon, and I also promised to share the fish with them. Li Wen looked at the others with a smile and said. "
"Okay, you are the one who caught the fish, and the children are watching. These are our own children, so why can't we do it?" the production captain, Junli, said with a smile.
"Oh! Divide the fish." All the little guys jumped up immediately. They heard that the fish was not given to them, and everyone felt sad for a while. Unexpectedly, Li Wen helped them win it back.
"Thank you, Brother Wenzi." A group of little kids gathered around Li Wen to receive their fish catch. They were so happy.
On the way home, he met Uncle Jiu and comforted Li Wen to be more open-minded. It was not his fault if the fishing gear was lost and he was told not to be sad. Li Wen lowered his head and did not answer.
After returning home, after dinner, everyone started laughing after the kids fell asleep.
"It's not easy. The whole village is worried about a fishing gear. This time we are finally out of trouble. My father, Li Deyou, took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile."
"It's a pity to lose it. We won't be able to eat fish ourselves in the future," the second aunt said regretfully.
"What's so difficult about this? When the wind blows over, I will use a sewing needle to burn a fishhook. Although our ordinary strings are easy to break when fishing, there is no problem in catching smaller fish," Li Wen said with a smile.
"
"That's good. When you have free time, you can just catch a few fish to eat at home. We can't blame them for not being able to do it, and they can't offend anyone else," my mother Wang Chunmei smiled.
Li Wen returned to the room and was proud of his superb acting skills.
In the blink of an eye, work started to end at noon the next day, and Aunt Eight's voice rang out from the door of the village committee.
"All members of the commune, please pay attention. Please note that the village organized a dinner party today at noon. After work, everyone brought bowls and chopsticks to the production team canteen to eat. After saying this several times, they returned to the village committee with gongs in hand.
Everyone was beaming with joy. Many of them had not eaten meat for a long time. All the lunches today were made by the villagers. They were very happy.
Li Wen took the bowls and chopsticks to the entrance of the cafeteria. It was already crowded with people, and the children were the happiest. They came in groups, banging the bowls and chopsticks and singing, which was very lively.
After a while, the leader of the production team came to the door of the cafeteria. Li Junli, the production team leader, took an iron loudspeaker and shouted.
Members of the commune, please pay attention, please pay attention, everyone should be quiet for a moment. Today is a happy day. Director Zhang from the commune and his party came to our production team to inspect the summer harvest work. Let us welcome Director Zhang to speak!
Everyone clapped their hands! After all, the policies closest to everyone were issued by the commune, and everyone was in awe of the director of the commune.
Director Zhang is just a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a Chinese tunic suit. He looks upright and is an official at first glance.
Director Zhang picked up the loudspeaker and stood on the stool. Looking at the crowd of applauding people at the entrance of the canteen, he felt extremely respected and said loudly: "First of all, I would like to thank the people of our Sanxing Village Production Team for their warm welcome; today I came to
Here, it is for Samsung
I would like to commend and congratulate the production team on their production achievements in the past six months. Congratulations on completing the summer harvest safely. I would also like to thank the Samsung production team for their hospitality today. Okay, I will stop here and hand the loudspeaker to Li Junli.ωωw

Li Junli looked at the impatient crowd and shouted: "Okay, I won't say more, let's start dinner," and the crowd rushed towards the canteen!
Awen, you don't have to queue up. Come here, I'll ask your aunt to get you a bowl. You eat first. The person who maintains order in the cafeteria is Li Dejun, the second son of the branch secretary. He looked at Li Wen who was queuing and said with a smile. "
"Awen, let me just tell you that you don't have any objections. The person serving food in the cafeteria is Sun Yanyan, the second daughter-in-law of the branch secretary, looking at everyone and saying with a smile."
"No", everyone shouted in unison!
Li Wen came to the window with a blushing face. Sun Yanyan gave Li Wen a full bowl of fish and two steamed buns!
"Since the canteen was closed at the beginning of the year, there hasn't been such a lively scene for a long time. The old secretary sat at the door and looked at the villagers filling the canteen."
"Yes, the original intention of setting up the canteen was good, but unfortunately a few stinky rats ruined the pot of soup," Director Zhang said with emotion.
"Eat, eat, today's fish is really good, the meat is fresh and tender, and it's also very fat." Li Junli, the production team leader, changed the topic.
"Yes, the little guy in your village is really awesome. Call me and let me see what kind of young talent he is. Director Zhang smiled and said to the village cadre next to him."
No problem, just wait!
"Wenzi, come here for a moment. Director Zhang wants to talk to you. Gao Aiqin, the women's director, smiled at Li Wen who was eating."
"Later, the director will ask you something. Ask less and talk less. Understand, Gao Aiqin ordered."
"Auntie, don't worry. If you talk too much, you will make mistakes. I know. Li Wen nodded."
"That's good!"
"Come and sit down and tell us how old the young man is. Director Zhang looked at Li Wen standing at the table and said with a smile."
"Leader Zhang, his fifteenth birthday will be in a few days," Li Wen said with a smile.
"Yes, it's true that when you were less than fifteen years old, you single-handedly made the whole village eat meat. Were you willing to give the fish to the village?"
At this time, all the cadres in the village were worried that Li Wen would talk nonsense!
"It's impossible to tell the truth that Leader Zhang doesn't have any selfish intentions in his heart. But then I thought about it, the fish I caught were all from the public river, and no one in the village had eaten meat for a long time. Uncle Accountant and Uncle Junli just proposed to harvest the big fish in the summer.
The dinner party was so lively and lively that I thought about it.
"Okay, our socialism needs successors like you who have the masses at heart." Under the leadership of Director Zhang, everyone present applauded.
After eating, the commune leaders hurriedly left on their bicycles.
"Awen, you spoke well today," production team leader Li Junli and accountant Li Desheng came to Li Wen's table and praised him for a while.
"This is what I should do," Li Wen smiled and waved his hand.
"Awen, the secretary said that you want to raise a piglet. It just so happens that an old sow in the brigade's pig factory has laid a litter. It is already over a month old and ready to leave the nest. I'll catch one for you. I'll give it ten yuan.
, production captain Li Junli reciprocated. "
"That's a good relationship, thank you uncle," Li Wen said with a smile on his face.
Li Junli continued: "You have raised this pig and you can dispose of it on your own, but you are not allowed to buy or sell it privately. Do you understand?"
Chapter completed!
