Rebirth 1978, Wife, I won't go back to the city

The room fell into a brief silence. The Jiang family and Zhang Zhenming's family looked at each other with worry on their faces.

Being selected for the sideline team is a lucrative job, and none of them wants to lose it.

But with Zhou Guohua and his son making such a fuss, the time has come for things to be resolved.

Although the betting method is a bit naive, it seems to be a good idea at the moment.

After all, Zhou Guohua is the captain of a team. If he continues to make trouble and incite the masses, Zhang Zhenming, the village chief, will be embarrassed.

So Zhang Zhenming coughed lightly and looked at Jiang Guoli.

Jiang Guoli nodded.

Zhang Zhenming asked Li Jingshen again:

"Depth of field, do you think this method is okay?"

Li Jingshen nodded and said:

"We can make this bet, but there's something I must say first."

"what's up?"

Zhang Zhenming asked curiously.

Li Jingshen looked at Zhou Guohua and said:

"If you win, the Jiang family is willing to give up two spots and allow you and your son to join the sideline group. But if you lose, you must admit defeat. If you dare to complain about the sideline group's selections again, or speak ill of the village chief behind their backs, we will definitely not let you go."

Seeing Jiang Guoli and Li Jingshen both nodded, Zhou Guohua was very happy, so he said very happily:

"No problem. If we don't admit defeat, we're sons of bitches."

"it is good."

Li Jingshen nodded and looked at Zhang Zhenming.

After coughing again, Zhang Zhenming said solemnly:

"Okay, then it's settled. Tomorrow, the Jiang and Zhou families will each cast a net in the river. Whoever catches the most fish will win."

"no problem."

Zhou Guohua immediately agreed, and then looked at Jiang Guoli and others provocatively and said:

"Just wait to lose."

After saying that, he strode away with his father.

"What the hell is this! The Zhou family is the worst kind!"

Looking at Zhou Guohua's back, Zhang Yunfei cursed indignantly.

Jiang Shu also said with a gloomy face:

"Uncle, Zhou Guohua, your Zhang family, and our Jiang family are all sworn enemies. If they win tomorrow, they'll be so proud of themselves!"

Zhang Zhenming lit a cigarette and said helplessly:

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, I'm the village chief. If he uses this as an excuse to discredit me, it'll be very difficult for me. Right now, all you can do is work hard and do your best to win tomorrow's fishing competition."

Jiang Shu nodded helplessly.

Jiang Guoli lit a cigarette for himself, thought for a moment and said:

"That old bastard Zhou Fugui looks sickly, but his eyes are venomous. When I was young, I also loved to go to the river to cast a net and catch fish, but the fish I caught were never better than Zhou Fugui's."

Hearing this, everyone in the room looked solemn.

Indeed, catching fish is a technical job. The water surface is so large, and the only way to catch more fish with a net is to find the place where the fish gather.

Zhou Fugui is an experienced fisherman, and the Jiang family does not have an advantage in this regard.

The atmosphere in the room was a little dull for a while. After a while, Zhang Yunfei tentatively asked Li Jingshen:

“Brother Jingshen, you are an educated youth and know a lot. Is there any way?”

Others also looked at Li Jingshen with expectation.

Li Jingshen showed a bitter smile. If it was summer, he could set up some bait to attract the fish to gather to their side.

But it is winter now, and the fish are under the ice and hardly move.

For a moment, he really couldn't think of any good solution.

He shook his head apologetically at everyone and said:

"There's nothing I can do for now."

Jiang Guoli sighed and said:

"Okay. Don't think too much, everyone. Maybe we'll get lucky tomorrow and win."

Hearing this, everyone nodded helplessly, exchanged a few simple greetings, and then dispersed.

Li Jingshen returned home in the dark. As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Xue helped him take off his coat and poured him a large bowl of hot water.

She asked doubtfully:

“Depth of field, is something wrong? Why is Zhang Yunfei looking for you so late?”

Li Jingshen took a sip of hot water and then told Jiang Xue everything that had just happened at Zhang Zhenming's house.

After hearing this, Jiang Xue's face showed worry.

The sideline group had just been established, and the Jiang family had tasted the sweetness. Everyone was very excited and wanted to achieve something.

But now, people from the Zhou family are here to grab the food!

If the Jiang family loses tomorrow's fishing competition, two people will have to withdraw from the sideline group, resulting in loss of income...

Jiang Xue couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Li Jingshen looked at his wife like this and said comfortingly:

"Don't worry so much, maybe we will win tomorrow."

Jiang Xue smiled somewhat forcedly, shook her head and said:

“Depth of field, you don’t know. That Zhou Fugui used to be a fisherman, and he was very powerful.”

"I remember when I was little, my father would go fishing in the river, but he could only catch a few small fish each time. But Zhou Fugui, with just a tattered net, would go to the river for an hour or two every day and bring back a bucket of fish."

Hearing this, Li Jingshen couldn't help but feel a headache. He murmured:

"No wonder Zhou Guohua proposed this bet. It turns out this is the situation of his Zhou family."

He looked up at Jiang Xue's worried face and said comfortingly:

"Don't worry about this, I'll think of a way."

"Is there anything you can do?"

Jiang Xue asked with anticipation on her face.

Li Jingshen smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was not a fisherman, so how could he come up with any solution?

"There will always be a way, don't worry."

Li Jingshen comforted him again.

Jiang Xue smiled bitterly and said:

"Forget it, don't worry about it. In fact, even if two people in our family were kicked out of the sideline group, it's not a big deal. At least the income is much higher than before."

"Okay, it's getting late. I'm going to bed first. You should get some rest too."

With a somewhat lost tone, Jiang Xue wrapped herself in the quilt and fell asleep.

Seeing his wife in a bad mood, Li Jingshen felt inexplicably irritated. He tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, so he simply turned on the light and started reading.

There weren't many books in those days. He was holding a nearly torn copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Li Jingshen flipped through the pages casually and suddenly came across the chapter about Zhuge Liang's Empty City Strategy.
