Storm in the Fish Pond (3)
"The two fish ponds that you contracted were a poverty relief project set by the village last year, right?”Village Head Liu suddenly asked.
"Yes, at that time, the township government guaranteed a loan of 30,000 yuan from the township credit union. It was said that there was no interest!”Yan Zhao answered truthfully.
"Yes, that's because I spent a lot of effort to get back 300,000 yuan of science and technology poverty relief loan from the county. Considering that you're a retired soldier and have made contributions to the country, I arranged to give you 30,000 yuan. How did the fish look now? Secretary Ai and I are coming to eat mandarin fish in a few days!”Village Head Liu did not mention the dead fish but the fish. He deliberately mentioned the loan and the fish pond. He clearly wanted to change the topic and make him embarrassed to mention compensation again. In this way, he could get more benefits from the soup!
"I'm very grateful for the loan, Village Head Liu. The fish now weighs more than three catties. I came here to report that more than 180 fish died in the fish pond, and the loss amounted to more than 4,200 yuan. There is only Lei Biao's lime kiln on the steep slope of Damiao Mountain in that area. Please ask the township government to instruct the lime kiln to compensate!”Yan Zhao asked clearly.
Toward Yang Yanzhao's lack of understanding, although Village Head Liu remained silent, he did not conceal his impatience. Ai Duoxiu, on the other hand, was doing her job as a secretary and taking notes. Liu Daxiang winked at her to tell her not to write it down, but she didn't see it and just lowered her head to write.
Yang Yanzhao's eyes were sharp, so of course he had seen it all. He asked again,"Please give me an answer, township head? I, a farmer, can't afford this loss!”
"This matter can't be settled based on your one-sided words, right? Tomorrow is already the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and the people are also saying that it's going to be the new year. There are things in the village these two days, so the 27th is a holiday and the 8th of the first month is to go to work. After I've coordinated it, you can come to listen to the reply on the 11th of the first month! Put down the photo and the test report and you can leave!”After Liu Jiahao finished speaking, he gave the order to leave. He had been a township head for a few years and was very familiar with handling problems. He wanted to stabilize Yang Yanzhao first and then discuss with his nephew how to deal with it.
"Alright, I agree to come and listen to the reply on the 11th day of the first lunar month. The fish pond was filled with lime medicine and the fish died. The lime kiln is only 200 meters away from the fish pond I contracted. A stream under the kiln passes through the water intake of the fish pond. The responsibility for the dead fish lies with the lime kiln. I have witnesses and material evidence in hand. Let me say this first. I want the township head to tell Lei Biao that everything will be settled after compensation. Otherwise, his lime kiln in Damiao Mountain will not be able to continue!”Yan Zhao enunciated each word firmly.
"Are you threatening me? I don't care. I heard that you beat Lei Biao and his security guards in the market. You're so powerful that you don't even listen to the township government. You can deal with it yourself. Why do you come to me? It's none of my business!”Liu Jiahao said angrily and punched the table.
"When have you heard me say that I don't listen to the township government? I'm here to report to the township head! I only ask for justice. As for beating up Lei Biao and his gang in the Ruins, they deserved it! I didn't start this matter. As the head of the township, I have to understand the overall situation. Lei Biao molested my fiancée and instructed a few security guards to surround me first. Don't I have the right to defend myself?”
"You can't always be biased towards your nephew. Helping reason and not your relatives is your upright act as a township head! If you don't care about this matter, I won't look for you unless you're not the head of the village? As long as the villagers say that they don't care, I'll go to the county. I can travel the world with reason, but I can't move an inch without reason! I don't believe in this." With that, Yan Zhao turned around and strode away, not giving the township head any face.
Liu Jiahao, who was in the township head's office, was restless. It had been many years since he had met someone who dared to contradict him. This person was a farmer, so he was not afraid of his revenge. Ai Duoxiu admired Yang Yanzhao's courage. He didn't fear the power of the township head and Tiger Lei's viciousness. He admired Yang Yanzhao's decisiveness after the incident and his courage to seek justice from the township head.
Besides, on the 11th day of the first lunar month, Yan Zhao went to the village to listen to the reply. He came out of the township government and prepared to go to Mei Mei's house. Today was his future mother-in-law's birthday, so how could his future son-in-law not come? Ever since the last successful blind date, Yan Zhao was sent to the Lei family on a good day under the supervision of his aunt. Mei Mei went to the Yang family with his aunt.
Mei Mei saw Yan Zhao planting rice and tomatoes, and even renting two ponds to raise fish. He was also an expert in farm work. She saw the couplets pasted on the courtyard door. First verse: Miaoshan, Miaoshui, Miaomin, beautiful mountains, beautiful waters, beautiful women, more beautiful second verse: Spring Festival, the feeling of spring, the spring breeze, the spring rain, and the thick feeling of spring were all written by Yang Yanzhao himself. His calligraphy was not inferior to ordinary calligraphers. Mei Mei Xin Xi Yan Zhao can be called capable of literature and martial arts, her own vision is not bad.
Mei Mei went to the door this time. After she left, she was so happy that Yan Zhao's parents kept praising her for a few days, saying,"This Mei Mei is beautiful, and what's more rare is that she's gentle and virtuous. She's a good match for Zhao Yazi. Zhao Yazi is blessed from her previous life!”From then on, the two families became close, and Yanzhao and Meimei's relationship became more and more harmonious. Soon, they reached the point of marriage. After all, the two of them were older people who were getting married late.
Yanzhao went to the village, and the village chief's second uncle had something to do. The two chatted as they walked. Second uncle heard from the villagers that Yang Yanzhao was angry for a beauty in the market before the new year and beat Lei Biao and a few lackeys up. Not long ago, the village party branch changed, Yan Zhao was also elected as a branch committee, second uncle intended to take over the branch secretary, Yan Zhao refused, said: "My ambition is not here! Second Uncle was only in his fifties, and he was healthy. He would have no problem working for a few more years. To be honest, I only planned to stay at home for a year or two. I used Qigong to treat my mother's rheumatism and it has already shown initial results. I'll leave when my mother's condition stabilizes. Now, it seems that I'll be leaving soon!”
It turned out that the previous head of the army had transferred to the provincial public security department this year to become the director. Coincidentally, the Ministry of Public Security issued a document to establish a counter-terrorism emergency special police brigade in Hunan Province. Based on his understanding of him, he recommended Yang Yanzhao to be the captain. If this captain was to be considered an administrative position, because it was directly under the jurisdiction of the provincial department, it should be at the level of deputy regiment. Several of his comrades in Hong Kong, Canada, and the United States had invited him to be a martial arts coach. The boss had offered him an annual salary of 400,000 to 500,000 dollars. At this time, his promotion to the former Armed Police Force had also been approved. Yang Yanzhao could be considered an active lieutenant colonel battalion officer. Whether he would return to his original unit or go to the provincial special police brigade was still up for discussion.
"A good man's ambition is to travel far and wide. If you have the conditions, of course you don't have to stay at home to repair Earth! With Second Uncle taking care of the house, there was no need to worry. But Mei Mei, you have to marry him as soon as possible. Your family needs a good helper!”Second Uncle said solemnly.
"Thank you, Second Uncle, for taking care of the family all these years. I still have to ask my parents-in-law's opinion on marrying Sister Mei. If I were to leave, I would definitely plan to hold the wedding first!”Yan Zhao says with a nod.
It was February 28, 2007, the 11th day of the first lunar month."The beginning of spring is three days, and the water is three points hot." It was now twenty days into the beginning of spring. After the rain, it would be the Awakening of Hibernation Festival in a few days. Spring came early in the mountainous area, and the trees sprouted buds one after another. Many unknown mountain flowers, red, yellow, green, and white, were especially eye-catching among the weeds. Pheasants and hares were running in the dense forest by the roadside, not avoiding the passers-by at all. The thrushes and lovesick crows were chirping happily on the branches. The gentle spring breeze brought bursts of the fragrance of grass and trees. The air was fresh, just like a natural oxygen bar. The ecological beauty of nature intoxicated many pedestrians.
After climbing over a mountain ridge and crossing a section of a horizontal road, the hardened cement road surface of the village road was under their feet. Although it was only three meters wide, it was much better than the mud road in the past. People should be contented. There were many people who picked up their bowls to eat meat and put down their bowls to curse, but this was not the good character of the Chinese!
Not far away, there was a patch of grass beside the field. A 13 or 14-year-old shepherd boy was riding on the back of a cow and knocking on the bamboo stick. He sang,"Ever since I was in the nest of Miao Mountain, I picked a piece of wood and played a folk song. The shepherd boy rode on the back of the cow and sang a folk song.”He was herding more than ten cows and sheep, and a dog was lying beside him, looking around with its head raised, faithfully performing its duty as a watchman.
Cows mooed and sheep bleated as they called their companions to nibble on the grass. The shepherd boy was singing energetically when the shepherd dog suddenly barked loudly. The shepherd boy drove the cow over to take a look. It turned out that two cows were fighting over the herbivorous land. He completely ignored the shepherd dog's roar. After the Shepherd Boy arrived, he did not say anything. He whipped each of them a few times. It was really like bittern tofu. One thing could defeat another. The Shepherd Boy solved the problem in a short time. It was simple and quick. The two cows ran away obediently.
Beside the grass was the surging water of the sorcery. Three round water wheels made of wood and bamboo stood by the shore, and they were constantly scooping up water to irrigate the farmland. All of this formed a beautiful idyllic scenery of the Miao village.
