22. Chance encounters

The midday sun was warm.

Lin Zichen walked leisurely on the country road, "Gu Mingze? Lin Zichen looked at the figure not far away in surprise.

Gu Mingze's family has only been here for a year since they moved to Fenghezhuang, and he is not a person who likes to move, and he is not very familiar with the surrounding environment of Fenghezhuang for a year.

No, today he volunteered to go to the fish pond to call his father home for lunch, but he got lost while walking.

Gu Mingze wandered on the road, hesitating where to find someone to take him to the fish pond. After hesitating for a long time, he was just about to go to someone's house nearby to ask for directions, when he heard someone behind him shouting his name.

Gu Mingze looked back and was very surprised, "Lin Zichen... ”

Lin Zichen stepped forward and asked like an old friend, "Gu Mingze?" How did you end up here? ”

"My home is here." Gu Mingze explained simply.

"Huh?" Lin Zichen was completely shocked, how could she never know that Gu Mingze's house was in Fenghezhuang.

However, after some self-reflection, I understood that in the previous life, she did not like to communicate with people, and she rarely came to Fenghezhuang, and Gu Mingze was also a person who did not like to go out, and it was understandable that Lin Zichen did not know that Gu Mingze's family was in Fenghezhuang in the previous life.

Lin Zichen was no longer surprised when he figured this out, but when he saw Gu Mingze looking like he was looking for someone, he couldn't help asking, "Are you looking for someone?" ”

When Gu Mingze heard this, his face was stunned for a while, and he was embarrassed to say that he was lost, "I'm going to the fish pond, but I don't know the way." After speaking, he hurriedly turned his face sideways, not letting Lin Zichen notice the confusion on his face.

Now Lin Zichen was even more surprised, didn't Gu Mingze live in Fenghezhuang? How can you not know how to get to the fish pond?

Glancing sideways at Gu Mingze, who was eager to find a place to hide, Lin Zichen swallowed the doubts in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's just right, I'm also going to the fish pond, let's go together." ”

Lin Zichen led the way in front, and by the way, he gave half of the vertebrae he was holding in his hand to Gu Mingze.

The first time Gu Mingze ate vertebrae, he almost knocked his teeth, which made Lin Zichen laugh again and again, although there were more doubts in his heart, he still kindly told Gu Mingze the trick of eating vertebrae.

The two walked side by side on the path, Lin Zichen looked for some topics to talk about from time to time, but Gu Mingze listened without saying a word. The atmosphere is very peaceful, and to outsiders they are a pair of very talkative friends.

Gu Mingze quietly looked at Lin Zichen's side face, and couldn't help but think in his heart: She didn't want to be as quiet as her classmates said, it was the first time he had heard Lin Zichen say so many things, and the object was still him. Gu Mingze's heart couldn't help but ripple shallowly.

In school, the classmates in a class are all girls playing with girls, and boys playing with boys. Usually there will not be much intersection between boys and girls, especially girls, and they will not take the initiative to talk to boys, for fear of being said to be interesting to that boy.

Gu Mingze was very surprised to meet Lin Zichen here, and even more surprised that Lin Zichen was not afraid of rumors and took the initiative to talk to him so much.

"It's here, I'm going to find my dad and them, you feel free." When they arrived at the fish pond, Lin Zichen said goodbye to Gu Mingze, and he didn't see Gu Mingze's gaze slowly changing when he looked at her.

"Well, thank you." Gu Mingze watched Lin Zichen leave, and turned around to find his father.

"Uncle, second uncle, dad. It's time to go home and eat. Lin Zichen didn't have the shyness of a girl at all, and shouted at Lin Qingxiang and the others from afar.

A fellow next to Lin Qingxiang heard Lin Zichen's shout, and said to Lin Qingxiang with a smile: "Brother Qingxiang, your daughter's temperament is really good, my daughter blushes when she says something in front of everyone, how dare you shout like your daughter." ”

"Hehehe, my Xiaochen didn't like to talk much before, so he was a little more active during this time." When his daughter was praised by others, Lin Qingxiang was naturally very happy, of course, humility is still needed.

Lin Zichen came to Lin Qingxiang and the others, heard Lin Qingxiang's laughter, and asked, "Dad, what are you talking about?" Laughing so happily. ”

"Your Uncle Zhang compliments you!" Lin Qingxiang smiled and pointed to the man beside him.

"Really? What did Uncle Zhang praise me? Lin Zichen was not afraid to ask at all.

Zhang Zicheng next to Lin Qingxiang didn't expect Lin Zichen to be so good at talking, although a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child knows how to talk, but he can talk so freely in front of adults, Zhang Zicheng is the first time he has encountered it, and he can't help but look at Lin Zichen a few more times.

"Is there anything on my face? Uncle Zhang looked at me like this. Lin Zichen pretended not to understand and asked Lin Qingxiang.

Well? Zhang Zicheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily, patted Lin Qingxiang's shoulder and said: "Brother Qingxiang, your girl is not simple, which kid in the village sees me and walks away with shrinkage, so your girl is not afraid of me." ”

Zhang Zicheng grew up with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his face was a little vicious, Lin Zichen later learned that Zhang Zicheng had mixed in the underworld in a big city when he was young, and everyone in Fenghe Zhuang knew about it, and when the women taught disobedient children, they would say that they would send the children to Zhang Zicheng's house, so that the children would not dare to make trouble.

But at this time, Lin Zichen didn't know, "Why are you afraid of Uncle Zhang?" ”

Yes? "Hahaha..." Even Lin Qingxiang and the others laughed at this time.

Lin Zichen shrugged indifferently and stopped talking about the topic. "Dad, can you go home? Grandpa, they're all waiting for you to come home for lunch. ”

"It's almost time, bring these fish to the other side of the canal and go home." Uncle said to Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen nodded, but he didn't understand a little, "Why do you want to send it to the canal?" ”

Lin Qingxiang and his eldest brother walked towards the canal with a load of fish, and explained: "Pick the fish to the canal and raise it, and sell it in the town tomorrow." ”

The fish pond in Fenghezhuang is raised by several families in the village, and it will be harvested once during the New Year's Festival, and each family will take back one or two fish to eat, and the rest will be sold in the town, and the money obtained will be divided equally among several families.

When they came to the canal, Lin Qingxiang and others put the fish into the canal and raised them.

The village chief of Fenghezhuang is distributing fish to each family to ensure that the partner family can eat the freshest fish as soon as possible.

Lin Zichen's grandfather's family is also one of the members of the partnership, considering that there are more Li family members and the son-in-law's family is also here, the village chief of Fenghezhuang gave Lin Zichen an extra fish very humanely.

"Thank you, village chief, I'll send you this fish money later." Uncle Li Weiye said to the village chief.

Gu Siting, the head of Fenghezhuang Village, pretended to be angry when he heard Li Weiye's words: "This is more for your family, everyone has no opinion, what kind of fish money do you give." ”

Gu Sting is the village chief who parachuted into Fenghezhuang a year ago, from the beginning of unpopular to the current like a fish in water, only he knows the hard work. And the Li family is a good family in Fenghezhuang, and they have assisted Gu Siting many times in the year he took office, and Gu Sting is naturally grateful in his heart.

Li Weiye also knew that Gu Siting was thanking their family, but when he started raising fish ponds, he had already said that each family could only be divided into two, and the size depended on the number of people in each family. ”

"Hey, I said that you are still stubborn, your old man asked you to hit the wall, and you really hit it, really." Gu Siting looked at Li Weiye with an unteachable expression.

"Hahaha..." The others on the side of the canal laughed when they heard this, and they persuaded Li Weiye to accept the fish.

Lin Zichen looked at the group of lovely people in front of him, pushed Lin Qingxiang, and whispered: "Dad, you let your uncle accept it, it's a big deal to help the village chief more in the future." ”

This Gu village chief Lin Zichen has heard of it, although it is an airborne, but he really wants to lead the people of Fenghezhuang to get rich, and the fish pond in front of him was only built under his many walks.

Lin Qingxiang also thought so, so he stepped forward and said to Li Weiye: "Big brother, let's accept this fish, we have the kindness of the villagers in mind, and we will definitely help the villagers if they can use us in the future." ”

"You see, your brother-in-law is better than you." Gu Siting joked about Li Weiye.

Li Weiye smiled helplessly, so he had to accept the fish.

The fish in the canal had to be sealed tightly with fishing nets, so Li Weiye, Lin Qingxiang and others gave the fish to the Li Ge brothers and asked them to take them home first.

Lin Zichen was very interested in the surrounding canal, and stood aside and watched Lin Qingxiang and the others busy with interest.
