When the reeds bloom, the fish and geese return to the po-tail.

That day, as soon as Yu Yan got off the bus, he ran into Ma Zhuge, the owner of Ma Tao Fish Restaurant on the Qianli Embankment. Although he hadn't seen him for many years, Ma Zhu still recognized the famous fisherman girl in the water town at a glance. When Yu Yan got out of the car and walked to the pier, Ma Zhu was refueling his speedboat, and when he saw her, he immediately threw the oil drum on the embankment, oops, isn't this Yu Yan girl? Do you also know that our Baiyangdian Lake has attracted water from the Yellow River, and this is a trip home? You've been gone for so many years, it's time for you to come back and see. How about yourself? What about children? What about brother-in-law?

Yu Yan blushed and asked rhetorically, why Brother Zhu, isn't it welcome for us to come back to Baiyangdian by myself?

Look at what you said, welcome, welcome! We wish you and your brother-in-law and his family had moved back from the city! Brother Ma Zhu rubbed his oily hands and smiled, that day I and my brothers talked about you for a long time!

Hearing this, the fish and goose suddenly experienced frost like a blooming lotus flower, and suddenly withered away from the face that was no longer young. It took a long time for her to slowly recover, Brother Zhu, don't mention my home, okay? I have no home, and Baiyangdian will be my home in the future. Really, I won't leave when I come back this time!

Yu Yan is right, just yesterday, she and her husband Mongolia went through the formalities of leaving home. It is said that leaving home is not a divorce, because the marriage has long been divorced. All the money for the house belongs to her, and he provides for her daughter, who is in college. He wants freedom. After the agreement was written, the two signed, and Mongolia hurried downstairs to get into the woman's Honda and fly away.

Love is far away, and marriage is like smashed glass, pierced for more than 20 years. Everything leaks inexorably through time. Mongolia, Mongolia, you are gone, what is the use of me still wanting this house and property? I didn't marry you because of your real estate, what I value is that you can give me a new life. At that time, Baiyangdian discovered the oil field, and your drilling team came here to extract oil, and you lived in our house. I'll make you small fish sticky cakes, stewed catfish tofu, and boiled black fish soup...... Do you know where that fish came from? It was the old brother who came down to honor my father. But I stole it all for you. You didn't count if you ate fish, and you ate me as a fish. You say that my fish is the real fish, and there has only been such a mermaid in Baiyangdian for thousands of years. You also said that if a mermaid like me swims in Baiyangdian forever, it is the cruelty of Baiyangdian. So you took me away and took me to the North China Petroleum City, which had just emerged. I'm gone, my father and mother are happy, and I can finally become a city man and eat commercial food. But my old brother is stupid. As the sailboat carrying us passed by Lotus Lake, I saw him standing on a wooden boat, holding his harpoon high and throwing it vigorously into the distance. In the sunlight, he looked like a swarthy statue. Where the harpoon falls, there must be a big fish. But I won't eat the big fish of my brother anymore.

There are more important things in life than eating fish. Mongolia, I was placed by you as a worker in an oil production plant. You and I started more than 20 years of city life. It wasn't until the restructuring of the enterprise that we all bought out the seniority and left the factory, and life came to a temporary halt. But then there was a policy, saying that divorced couples can arrange for one party to go to work. I'll get a fake divorce from you. I put you on the job. Who knows, as soon as you go to work, it's like a bullet that goes out and never returns to the chamber of the gun. And then you have a new woman. I'm not your mermaid anymore!

I became a dried old fish in the city. The old fish began to love water, and they missed their own water town. So, I came back. Oh, in the water town of your dreams, you are as simple as ever? Are you still beautiful?

Just when Yu Yan was stunned, Ma Zhu had already packed up the motorboat. Although he couldn't read Yu Yan's mind, he knew that Yu Yan was no longer the simple mermaid he was back then. She has a puddle of water in her heart! He raised his voice and said to Yu Yan heartily, don't think so much, girl, it's good to come back, it's good to come back! You see, over the years, I have opened a restaurant, built a building, and bought a motorboat. The good days of our water town are taller than the building, wider than the song hall, and brighter than the supermarket. Have you seen this thousand-mile embankment? Longer than the embankment. Do you see this flowering reed? Thicker than it!

By the way, you know what? People have been waiting for a fortune, Ma Zhu said again, you said that such a stout person, in the past, he was obsessed with catching fish, and after beating you away, he seemed to be a different person, and he wilted for a few years, and he talked less, but he was long-hearted. He was hooked on reeds again. How many times have I sailed to see him, and he is either wandering around the reeds or tinkering in the house. Sometimes he slept on a bundle of reeds, and his face was full of reeds and leaves. You know what? They have become well-known reed craftsmen in the water town. He used reeds and aquatic plants as materials, cut and cut, pasted, scalded, and carved, and made reed paintings. Then frame it in a mirror, and it can be sold for a lot of money! I've heard that I've been doing business with foreigners recently! It's just, it's just...... This kid still hasn't had a wife, alas, Yuyan, his heart is full, he can't let go of others, this old man has no heart to die, he's been waiting for you!

The water nested in the hearts of the fish and geese turned into tears and gushed out, and fell in the Baiyangdian Lake where the new water was rising. Blooming reeds spread over and surrounded the fish and geese. She quickly turned away, pretended to wipe her eyes, grabbed a handful of reeds and wiped away her tears. Then she smiled and said to Ma Zhu, Brother Zhu, I don't want to take a speedboat, you find a wooden boat, I want to row home by myself. I want to take a good look at our Baiyangdian!

In this way, before it was completely dark, the fish goose and the boat returned to the picking. At the entrance of the village, on the high platform used by the ancestors to harvest pu, a man stood as a tree and was waiting there firmly. Around the man, clusters of elf-like reeds were flying.
