Fu Ling is an airborne soldier, and he is not very old, occupying the position that should be the turn of others in terms of seniority, and he is an outsider, everyone smiled and politely respected him "Secretary Fu", and it was really implemented in the work, and there were not many people who deliberately made it difficult for the stumbling blockers.

And he has spent almost all his energy and time to figure out the unspoken rules of various conventions, handle the daily routine work, and personally go down to the grassroots level to understand the situation on the ground.

Just ran a few more times to Sikou Village, and all kinds of cool words got up.

Some say that he is a fool and a dreamer; There are those who ridicule him for making a fuss and being self-righteous; also ridiculed him and Lu Xiaoqing, both of whom were young and ignorant, who thought that they had read more books for a few years and were more educated than others, and thought that they could do something big; Some even secretly speculated that he had fallen in love with Lu Xiaoqing, and went to Sikou Village under the pretext of official business, in order to hook up with other girls......

After all, Lu Xiaoqing graduated from a prestigious university, and she is very beautiful, in this small place in the countryside, she is outstanding. He is young, his blood is strong, and there is no entertainment here, and there are not even many beautiful women to eye, so it is inevitable that he will move his mind when he is bored!

Fu Ling, like Lu Xiaoqing, laughed at all kinds of rumors and didn't care.

Anyway, others should talk about it, he should do it, and he won't change his mind because of this rumor.

Who knew that not only him, but Lu Xiaoqing was also riddled with rumors, and they were sympathetic to each other.

Lu Xiaoqing ran to the fields every day as usual, sometimes she ran by herself, and sometimes she promised to accompany her.

Once met Zhao Guanghua on the road, Zhao Guanghua had to go with her, but Lu Xiaoqing had no choice but to follow him.

Later, Lu's mother found out, counted Lu Xiaoqing well, and never let her go alone, she accompanied her.

Seeing Zhao Guanghua again, it was obvious that Zhao Guanghua was deliberately waiting for Lu Xiaoqing, Lu's mother was a little annoyed, and said lukewarmly to Zhao Guanghua: "Guanghua, don't go around us Xiaoqing in the future, there is already gossip, and you don't know how to avoid suspicion?" How ugly to say! In the future, our two families will not be able to meet! ”

Zhao Guanghua's face was red, and he stammered and wanted to explain something, where was Lu's mother willing to listen? waved his hand and said: "I don't listen to these words, in short, lonely men and widows just have to avoid suspicion!" Don't blame me for saying ugly things in the first place, I'm going to be annoyed if I hear any more gossip. ”

There are enough rumors in the village, but Secretary Fu is an understanding person, otherwise wouldn't her eldest sister be wronged? Lu's mother is annoyed enough, where is she willing to give Zhao Guanghua a chance to make trouble?

Zhao Guanghua's mother is a psychopath! Dare to say any bullshit.

Zhao Guanghua had to be embarrassed, looking at the back of their mother and daughter leaving, two points of resentment inexplicably arose in his heart, did Aunt Lu look down on him like this? But if Xiaoqing really decides not to go out in the village in the future, who else is more suitable for her besides him?

If he is not worthy of Xiaoqing, there is no one who is worthy of it.

Zhao Guanghua's heart moved, could it be that Aunt Lu took a fancy to Secretary Fu? He is a foreigner, I heard that he is quite big, and he will definitely have to leave in the future, even if he really has a good impression of Xiaoqing now, it is just for fun.

Besides, people come down to inspect work, not to find Xiaoqing to fall in love. If Aunt Lu really wants to think like this, I'm afraid it's hot to shave her head.

Thinking about Lu's mother, who took a fancy to Secretary Fu but disliked herself, Zhao Guanghua was unwilling, didn't she just dislike him for not studying for a few years? But so what? He can't make money, get rich, and live a good life......

Rumors are like flowing water, the parties don't pay attention to them, and slowly they all pass, after all, no one can live by saying this little bit of gossip all day long. If you want to say it, it's all about planting rice and making a rake.

In the blink of an eye, late April is a good time to eat bamboo shoots.

The whole Jiangyao Town is suitable for all kinds of bamboo growth, especially in Sikou Village.

There is a big river about ten meters wide at the entrance of the village, and the turquoise water flows slowly along the edge of the village like a green ribbon.

Both sides of the strait are dense and tall bamboo forests, and a grown bamboo can be as thick as the mouth of a sea bowl and as high as ten or twenty meters. Looking out of the village in the summer heat, the emerald green bamboo forest is blown by the wind, the branches and leaves are flying, and the green leaf waves are more dazzling than the water in the river, which makes people feel refreshed.

Every season to eat bamboo shoots, Nan bamboo shoots are a very popular kind of bamboo shoots, locally also called big-headed bamboo shoots, dig home when they grow to more than a foot high, remove the shell, cut into slices, blanch with boiling water, and then use water to bleach, whether it is fried or with a piece of pork, it has a special fresh and delicious taste.

One of the favorite ways to eat in the village is to float with water for several days, so that the bamboo shoots exude a slightly sour taste, and fry the hot and sour red peppers that are chopped into pieces sealed in the jar, which is fresh and spicy and has just the right sour and crisp taste, and when it comes out of the pot, it comes to the nose, which makes the tongue feel relished, and when you eat it, the taste is bursting, and you can't stop at all.

Nanzhu can be kept into wood, weaving bamboo or selling money, generally even if you eat Nanzhu shoots, everyone will try to choose the kind of long a little crooked, or malnourished to see that the growth is not grown, after all, in addition to Nan bamboo shoots, there are many other bamboo shoots can be eaten.

Everywhere around the village, on the slopes, between the forests, and between the valleys, there are also a variety of bamboos and bamboo shoots. There are sweet bamboo shoots that are used to make soup very sweet and delicious, there are also bitter bamboo shoots with bitter and astringent taste that must be blanched and soaked to remove the bitter taste before eating, and there are also gold-edged bamboo shoots, horseshoe bamboo shoots, cinnamon bamboo shoots, etc., the shell color is different, the size is also different, but without exception it is very delicious.

Among them, the most widely distributed and most common among the mountains and wilderness is a kind of wild bamboo shoots called fine bamboo shoots by the locals.

As the name suggests, thin bamboo shoots are very small, and the thick ones are a little the size of the thumb, and the small ones are not as big as the little fingers. Although it is small, it is very numerous, and it can grow countless in a small forest.

When the season comes, everyone goes up the mountain to pick sacks and goes home. It looks like a lot, but after removing all the shells, there are only a few catties of bamboo shoots that can be obtained.

But because it is so delicious, especially when fried with home-made pickles, bracken produced at the same time, and pork belly, the taste is simply amazing, and it is rare in heaven and earth. Therefore, there are still a lot of people who go up the mountain to pick every year, and the children especially like it, and they can play while breaking bamboo shoots.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon of this day, Fu Ling came to the village again, Lu Xiaoqing communicated with him for a while, and the two were about to go to the field to have a look, but they didn't expect to see a large group of villagers gathered together noisily and didn't know what to talk about, and the atmosphere seemed to be a little strange.

"What's going on?"

"Let's go, let's see."
