Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0522 Wind, Rain and Snow
When the train stopped at Yucheng station, Cao Teler got off. There was no greeting between Nan Yi and him. They just became casual acquaintances and left their contact information with each other.
Both of them are driving on a spider-web-like track, and they are destined to meet again at some fork in the road in the future.
Holding high their border passes and stepping on the big crown, the three men from Nan Yi fought their way into the Special Administrative Region.
In the city, Xian Weimin took out his big Crown, bathed in the dust from the construction site, and drove the big Crown into the Lingnan water town.
As soon as the car entered the Wenchang area, several little kids ran after the car. Xian Weimin honked the horn complacently, as if to show that he had returned home in glory.
But after running for a while, the little brats opened their mouths and yelled, "We've hit shit, we've hit shit, don't drive to the threshing ground."
Hearing the shout, Xian Weimin's face drooped.
Nan Yi laughed loudly: "Stop by the river and wash some water. There must be something drying in the threshing ground."
"Just park right outside your door." Xian Weimin said unhappily.
"Both ends are blocked. The only way to get to my place now is to cross the bridge. Cars can't drive through at all."
As for the Wenchang tidal flat, you can just go around and through the barbed wire to enter the special zone, so strangers would appear around , and petty thefts in the village increased. The village committee decided to block both ends.
Now the only way to get to Nanzhai is through the stone bridge over the river, but the bridge is too narrow and cars can't pass through.
"When did it happen? How come I don't know about it?" Xian Weimin asked.
"Uncle Yaohua didn't tell you about what happened this year?"
"My dad rarely calls me, and long distance calls are so expensive. How could he possibly talk to me about something so insignificant over the phone?"
"Oh, let's stop by the river. I have to clean up the house today. I'll tell Uncle Yaohua what I told you tomorrow. I want to be quiet tonight. I'll leave anything that's not urgent until tomorrow."
"Yes."
Xian Weimin responded and the car stopped by the river.
Nan Yi and Fan Hongdou got off the car, but they did not see Xian Weiqi at the pier.
"It's strange, there are times when he is not fishing." Nan Yi muttered, holding Fan Hongdou's hand and walking towards Nan's house.
After returning to Nan's residence, Nan Yi asked the school beauty to buy groceries, and he and Fan Hongdou began to clean up the house. It took them nearly three hours to clean up the house, and then they went out to clean up the yard.
When I was cleaning the pond, I found that all the koi in it were gone. I only saw catfish, a few snakehead fish, and a few very small sergeants.
"Hey, why is there a cobia in the pond?"
A few years ago, Nan Yi had removed the filter net on the water pipe extending into the river. At this end of the yard, the water was directly put into the pool. In this way, small fish would flow into the pool through the water pipe from time to time, and the food supply of the catfish was also guaranteed.
"Godfather, what's so strange?" asked Fan Hongdou, who was scrubbing the outer wall of the pool with a clothes brush.
"Cobia is a marine fish. I've never heard of it migrating upstream."
"There are always surprises, right?"
"Maybe." Nan Yi turned around and asked the school beauty, "What do you think?"
"I've looked around just now, and there's no sign of anyone sneaking in." replied the school beauty.
"Oh, that was probably an accident."
Nan Yi jumped into the pond and leaned over to fiddle with the sergeants. Several of the fish looked wilted. It was estimated that they had been in the pond for some time and had become useless in the fresh water.
At first, Nan Yi raised a few koi in the pond. In order to keep them alive, he also threw in two catfish . However, several groups of koi were eaten by catfish, and the catfish effect experiment was a failure.
There are a few more snakeheads in the pond now, so I can’t keep anything I want to raise alive.
"Hongdou, would you like to have some black fish as a second dish for dinner?" Nan Yi asked, looking at the small snakehead fish in the water.
Fan Hongdou looked at the fish in the pond and said, "They are too small. Let's keep them for a while."
"Okay, then let's keep him."
Nan Yi was just asking for fun. He had stopped eating fish in the river, especially carnivorous fish. As for why he stopped eating them, it all started when a bulging snakeskin bag floated in the river.
The two of them, one big and one small, worked together to clean the entire pool. Nan Yi then ran to the river and scooped up some duckweed and water chestnuts and put them into the pool.
By the time everything was ready, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Nan Yi was about to start cooking when the phone in the hall rang.
"Hongdou, go answer the phone."
Fan Hongdou answered the phone as she was told, and after saying a few words , she walked back to Nan Yi and said, "Godfather, it's the village committee calling, asking you to come over."
"Oh, I'll go for a while, Hongdou, you can make dinner."
"Godfather, I don't know how to use the earthen stove." Fan Hongdou showed a bitter face.
"Then don't stir-fry, just make a hodgepodge. Stir-fry the meat in the pot and put the other vegetables in to cook. Be careful not to burn yourself."
"knew."
After Nan Yi finished explaining, he went to the village committee.
"I don't know what happened. I can't even have a day of peace." On the way, Nan Yi was wondering what happened in the village committee and who was looking for him.
Walking slowly to the village committee, Nan Yi found that except Xian Weimin, everyone else was there.
"What's the emergency?"
Nan Yi scanned everyone's face and didn't see anyone frowning, so he guessed it was nothing serious.
"Nan Yi, I just came back from the township. The township held a meeting and told everyone something. In order to promote rural economic construction, the finance department allocated a subsidized loan to increase investment in rural areas. It is said that as long as you are between 18 and 45 years old and have a legitimate income, you can apply."
As soon as Xian Yaodong finished speaking, Nan Yi asked, "Is it the same as the interest-free loan from a few years ago?"
"That's one thing, but the interest subsidy is not full. It seems that the borrower also has to bear some interest. Nan Yi, do you think we should talk to the villagers about this?"
"You came to me just to talk about this?"
"No, the township meeting was held in the morning today. After the meeting, Township Chief Song kept me here and there. He started talking about the international situation and the reform situation. He went around in circles and finally told me that we are a group of farmers with little education. He said that the township enterprises in Wenchangwei cannot stand still and need to keep up with the general situation..."
"So, the village wants to support us and send us a few capable factory managers, right?" Nan Yi said sarcastically without waiting for Xian Yaodong to finish his words.
"Yes, that's what I mean."
“First, although our Wenchangwei enterprise is a collectively owned enterprise, it was previously a brigade collective and is now a village collective, and has nothing to do with the township.
Second, the village head is elected by the villagers' committee, not appointed by the higher authorities. Strictly speaking, the village head is not considered a state cadre, and Song Jiefang has no right to take the hat off Uncle Xian's head."
"Nan Yi, what should I do?"
"Wait, Song Jiefang's eating habits are so ugly, he must be unable to control himself, he accepts things he shouldn't accept, takes things he shouldn't take, eats things he shouldn't eat, and drinks things he shouldn't drink.
We in Wenchangwei paid all the taxes we were supposed to pay without missing a penny. We have never owed a penny for agricultural tax or levies. Go to other villages and see which one has no one in debt?
As long as we do things the right way, we don't have to worry about Song Jiefang coming to cause trouble. What can he do?
Block our fertilizer indicators?
Pesticide indicators?
Or is it blocking our irrigation water?
Agricultural electricity?
He can't stop anything. There's a saying that goes, just sit back and wait for your opponent to die. We just need to sit back and watch Song Jiefang send himself to jail."
"Nan Yi, do you want to find someone to keep an eye on him and get some evidence of Song Jiefang taking bribes?" Xian Yaodong said.
Xian Yaodong’s words gave Nan Yi a headache.
"Uncle Xian, is it because you have had an easy life, drinking good wine every day, and your brain has become dull?" Nan Yi said in a gloomy tone: "What is Song Jiefang's identity? Don't think about things you shouldn't think about, otherwise you will offend not only Song Jiefang, but the entire group, and then Wenchangwei will have no good days in the future.
Regardless of whether it is Song Jiefang or any other Jiefang in the future, all we can do is to counter their moves. Don’t think of taking the initiative, let alone using any shady means.”
