Tian Yueqiang naturally couldn't invite Fang Ning to eat in the restaurant, it was a very ordinary farmhouse restaurant, but because it was opened by a relative in the decoration staff, it was much cheaper to rent it to cook, on weekdays, it was four dishes and one soup, mostly seasonal dishes in the vegetable field, and occasionally made a meat dish, open meat, today Fang Ning They came, and they couldn't make it too shabby, Tian Yueqiang temporarily called the person who called the rice to add two dishes, a chili boiled fish, and a crayfish hot pot.

Carp and crayfish are they in the shallow ditch along the river scenery belt, with a fish basket to sink overnight, carp is not a few, crayfish are a lot, and then put in the water to raise a few days before they dare to eat.

Fang Ning took a look at the churning crayfish in the hot pot, they were boiled red, but the shells of the shrimp looked a little old, and he immediately understood, he was still thinking that this spring was not the season for crayfish to be listed, where were the crayfish crayfish? It turned out that they were all old crayfish swimming upstream to breed by the tears downstream.

Fang Wei didn't think as much as Fang Ning, she only knew that she was very happy to have crayfish to eat, and she was busy helping to serve dishes and arrange chopsticks.

Fang Jiefang went out to buy a bottle of liquor and came back, eating lobster hot pot, brushing the pieces of meat, and drinking some liquor into his stomach, his whole body was warm and comfortable.

The spring rain outside stopped for a while and began to fall again, and the ground became wet again.

At noon, Fang Ning and the others found a house, and the three of them packed up their beds and rested improvisedly.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, they were going to continue to walk around the county, but Fang Jiefang answered a phone call and took Fang Ning and the others back to the village.

Fir Village.

Fang Jiefang held a villager congress at the village chief's house, basically every household in the village sent representatives over, everyone gathered together, and discussed with each other, the village chief Fang Hanmin sat in a wheelchair solemnly, due to the inconvenience of his legs and feet, his second granddaughter Fang Xinyu pushed the wheelchair behind. Originally, the big things in the village were handed over to the grandfather, but after the ice disaster passed, he was busy buying a house in the county, as well as a series of problems such as decoration, and he couldn't take care of the affairs of the village.

After the Chinese New Year, the young people in the village basically went out to work, including the two sons of the village chief's family, and there were only some old people and young children left in the whole village.

Young people go out to work in the city, and the elderly and children stay behind in the village head, which has become a helpless reality in the countryside.

Fang Ning ran out of the house and sneaked into the crowd to secretly watch them have a meeting.

Fang Hanmin told them to stop arguing and keep quiet, he still had prestige in the village, and soon the people in the village were quiet, and it was really as dead as an invisible big hand choking the air.

He exchanged glances with Fang Jiefang and several other cadres, and said: "That's the case, I heard that the above has prepared a poverty alleviation fund, this money is allocated by the Water Conservancy Bureau, mainly used to build drinking wells for four or five villages that lack water here in Meixian, and then we operated for a while, and applied for this money above, if nothing else, this money should be able to be implemented in our village.

Guys, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say.

Drinking water wells is indeed a good thing for the village, benefiting the people, but it doesn't have much feeling for them, no one in the village has a small well, even Fang Ning's family has dug two wells in the old forest for backup, to prevent the drought and famine years from running out of water. If the above is directly allocated, they may be excited, and money can still move people's hearts.

Everyone is not stupid, they know what the village chief is doing at this meeting, and it is not because there are not enough young people in the village, they are all old people and children, and there are less than six or seven men left, so no one has done these well repair things, and no one wants to stop this drudgery by themselves, so after discussing it, everyone is silent.

The atmosphere was a little silent, or embarrassed, but the village chief was experienced after all, and he coughed twice and said, "The above did not say that it would directly help us repair the well, but only allocated funds, if the drinking water well for the whole village is repaired, then the remaining money can be distributed by the village committee, of course! The premise of being able to share this money is that there must be a labor force at home to participate in the well repair project." ”

As soon as Fang Ning heard that this was such a thing, he was not interested, anyway, no matter how this thing was done, it had nothing to do with his family, after all, the whole family would move to the county seat in June and July, not to mention even the well water, it was estimated that he would not even be able to share the poverty alleviation funds.

Besides, he later knew how to do it, the water conservancy bureau did allocate 320,000 yuan to the village, and then also built drinking wells, but the village chief did not follow the architectural drawings provided by the water conservancy bureau, but found another construction company to get it, and later spent 160,000 yuan, the money was also spent, and the manpower was also consumed, and the drinking water well built did not produce water...... It's embarrassing.

There was no way, the village chief called the person in charge of the water conservancy bureau again, called an older deputy section chief, he went to Fangning and their village to take a look, checked a little, and said to the village chief I have been engaged in water conservancy projects for more than 30 years, I don't need to look at the drawings for this matter, I know that you did not follow our construction plan, anyway, the money, our bureau has also allocated to your village, this matter is not under our control. Then he didn't accept the red envelope handed by the village chief, and drove away.

The meeting did not end until six o'clock in the afternoon, and Fang Ning went back with his grandfather.

At night, the white dog kept barking in the kennel, and Fang Wei ran over to look at it a few times, but was frightened by the white dog's vicious appearance.

"Our dog is afraid that he has given birth to a puppy!" The experienced grandmother went in to take a look, and hurriedly went back to the room to get a rice bowl with rice and vegetables for the dog to eat, and at the same time asked Fang Ning to get some rice water mixed with milk powder to stir.

"Haha, the white dog is going to be a mother!" Fang Wei paused for a moment, and then was very happy.

Wait until eight or nine o'clock, grandma went into the kennel, before the white dog did not let anyone in, worried that someone would hurt the newborn puppy, and then grandma used a cardboard box to cushion the straw, and took out a litter of pink puppies, Fang Wei and Fang Ning counted on the side, a total of five puppies.

"Today, our family can be regarded as having a new door!" Fang Jiefang came in from the courtyard and said with a smile.
