59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

Niu Gengshen came out of the office after talking to the commune leader and asked, "Jianjun, are all the people here?"

As soon as they came out, Sha Zhu and others immediately shut up.

Lao Niu is the boss of Sha Zhu's boss, not Chen Jianjun, with whom he has a close relationship. In this regard, Sha Zhu is still clear-headed.

"Everyone is here, line up!"

Chen Jianjun gave a stern order, asking everyone to return to the battle line immediately.

Chen Feng was not surprised. The steel rolling mill held military training every year. Even Sha Zhu could represent the canteen staff in the militia shooting competition. Standing in line was nothing!

"Look to the right - look forward - stand at ease - count!"

Chen Feng stood outside the queue, together with Luo Xiaoman and the daily reporter, watching more than 40 people take action according to Chen Jianjun's orders.

Luo Xiaoman and the daily newspaper reporter took two photos and then stopped.

Film is too precious, but we can’t use it like the mobile phones of later generations, where we can take pictures however we want.

"1!"

"2!"

···

"Report to the section chief, there are 42 people who should be here, and there are 42 people actually here!"

Chen Jianjun: "Return to the team and rest!"

"Now please let Director Niu Gengshen speak!"

Chen Feng looked at his watch. If things continued like this, it would probably be ten o'clock!

Forget it, at least we can still work for two hours in the morning!

He finally understood why no one liked to eat Tianjin's sea fish even though it was on the tables of people in Beijing!

How is this kind of efficiency possible!

Fortunately, the ploughing depth was not too long, so it was handed over to the leaders of the commune. Before ten o'clock, everyone took their tools and walked to the farmland of a nearby brigade to work.

"Zhu Zi, cook some wild vegetable soup to relieve the summer heat and send it over. You can cook more." Chen Feng instructed Sha Zhu.

"Okay, I'll cook it for you right away!"

Outside the village where the Rice Field Commune is located, the villagers have already harvested a lot of farmland at this time.

"This field has not been harvested, it is allocated specifically for you."

Luo Xiaoman shouted, "Everyone, go to the fields. Chen Ke, Director Niu, come together and lean down so we can take pictures."

Chen Feng took a look, then picked up a bucket and a shovel and went to the wasteland to catch eels.

"Big brother, all the eels over there have been dug up."

More than a dozen girls, including the granddaughter of the old secretary of the commune and the young daughter of the director, also followed Chen Feng to help. According to the old secretary, even if Section Chief Chen's son had to go to the fields to get food for everyone, they could not sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor at home.

"That's not necessarily true. Many eels run around at night."

Chen Feng smiled and touched the top of the head of the eight-year-old girl who was tanned by the sun. These girls were basically tanned, which showed that they often went to the fields to dig eels.

Most of the boys were taught by teachers from the Red Star College in a school next to the commune.

In the countryside, there is a serious preference for boys over girls. Girls rarely have the opportunity to go to school and have to work at home at a very young age.

"Everyone, search separately. Don't follow me. It's a waste of manpower and time. We have to return with a bucket of eels before 11:."

Most of the girls were very obedient and happily carried buckets and shovels to look for eel holes nearby.

What made him helpless was that the old secretary's daughter, who had probably received the old secretary's death order, followed him closely, fearing that he would be bitten by a snake or step into a mud pit in the field (some of the mud pits were more than one meter deep, or even deeper).

“Is there a river here?”

There was no way. It was impossible to cheat and "dig eels", so he had to change his plan.

"Yes, there is a river just ahead, but there are not many fish."

"It's okay, let's go turn over the rocks and look for crabs and eels."

It is impossible to release the eels in the dry wasteland, but it is easy to do so in the river.

After walking for only a mile, we arrived at the river.

The water level in the stream is still quite high. Rainwater flowed down from the mountains in the past few days, making the water in this stream, which is more than five meters wide, extremely turbid.

The dam is quite high, nearly two meters above the water surface, forming an inclined surface of more than 30 degrees.

There are stones, but it is absolutely impossible to find crabs if you turn over such small stones!

There have been many flood disasters in Sijiu City. This river dam was most likely built slowly over hundreds of years by nearby villages during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and eventually became higher and higher.

'unwise!'

He had never been to the Red Star Commune and didn't know there was such a big river here. If he had known this, he would have come here openly with a fishing rod.

"Do you have a fishing rod at home?"

"Yes, but there are no fish in the river." The little girl said very seriously.

"Not always!"

Chen Feng said to the little girl: "I'll wait for you here, go get me a fishing rod."

"No, my grandfather said I have to protect you!"

"···"

This damn old man!

"Forget it, I'll go down and fish!"

"what?"

Chen Feng smiled, took off his shirt and pants, and jumped into the river wearing only his boxer briefs.

The little girl was dumbfounded!

Her grandfather mentioned a lot of dangers, but he didn't mention what to do if you go swimming in the river!

"No, you can't go in the water, it's dirty!"

"Haha, I'm just here to slack off. I'll go back to the village and wash up later!"

Looking from the embankment, the river seemed very deep, but after jumping in, I found that it was less than two meters in the middle.

But this depth is enough for him to release the fish!

"Hey, there is!"

Amid the little girl's anxious look, Chen Feng dived into the water, emerged in less than ten seconds, and threw a two-pound carp to her.

The carp jumped several times on the river ladder.

“Caught a fish!!!”

"Ah, fish!"

Only when she saw the carp jump onto the sloping grass did she come to her senses. She ran over in panic and caught the carp into the bucket she was carrying.

"middle!"

When she looked up, she saw a silver carp, its scales gleaming in the sun, falling into the fish bucket she was carrying.

Chen Feng smiled and waved to her, then dived into the water again.

In less than half a minute, he "touched" another carp weighing about one kilogram.

At this time, the commune had already noticed that Chen Feng was missing. The old secretary who accompanied him to the fields was a little worried and said to Chen Jianjun: "Chief Chen, your son seems to have gone to the river. Do you want to arrange for someone to follow him?"

There are many tragic accidents involving children who go to reservoirs and rivers to escape the summer heat. This may happen once or twice in their village every one or two years.

There is no way. It is impossible for children to be completely obedient. Even if they are familiar with water, they may still suffer cramps, get entangled in water plants, etc.

"It's okay. My son has even swam in the ocean." Chen Jianjun said with a smile, "He's good at fishing. Maybe we can have fish and fish soup for lunch today."

"Haha, I believe this!" Niu Gengshen couldn't help but stand up to relieve the soreness in his waist.

Luo Xiaoman, who was standing on the ridge of the field, felt a little bitter under the sun. Hearing their conversation, she quickly said, "I'll go help look after Chen Ke's son. Brother Sun, can you take a few more photos for me?"

When she found the two of them at the dam, she saw the little girl happily carrying a bucket for Chen Feng to throw fish in, and quickly took a photo.

But then she thought of a question!

"If this is published in the newspapers or broadcasted, will they believe it?"

If she hadn't seen Chen Feng dive into the water to catch fish with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it!
