   "The water is rising! The water is rising!"

   On the old street with blue bricks and blue tiles, an aunt suddenly shouted: "The river is rising!"

The sound of    was loud and spread to both sides of the street. Lu Dong came out of the house and his aunt was already heading south.

   He hurried back, put on long rubber boots, and walked northward on the cement road of the old street. Facing the rising sun, he quickly came to the northeast and saw the big locust tree known as the old tree of the town river for a hundred years.

   A little closer, there are countless "hanged ghosts" hanging from the branches and leaves of the big locust tree.

  A strip of light green bugs, spinning silk and hanging on the leaves, at first glance, it looks like a string of locust bells.

   A wind blows over and blows down a large number of insects.

  The free-range chickens that had been waiting under the tree, clucked and rushed over, their chicken mouths like a pile driver, constantly falling to the ground.

   Several children ran over with open hands, shouted and drank the chicken away, picked up a piece of bug, and threw it into the bowl in their hand, looking forward to going home at noon to fry it, which was crispy and delicious.

   Lu Dong picked up the bug that fell on his neck, threw it to a younger brother in the family, and walked down the aisle to the river bank.

   In late July, weeds are flourishing on the earthy river bank, and the wild jujube and sour jujube trees hang with green and astringent fruits.

At the foot of   , the water of the river was obviously rising, and the deepest part of Lu Dong's visual inspection might be two meters.

   The first heavy rain fell in June, and water came from the dry river.

   There is a lesson from last year. The upstream reservoir dare not store more water. Once the water level is slightly higher, the gate will be lifted to release the water.

  Although the rain this year is far from the same as last year, there have been several rains in July, and the dry Qingzhao River finally ushered in turbid yellow waves.

  The river water is yellow, and many water hyacinths are washed down from above.

  Lyu Dong stood on the edge of the river bank and watched, and suddenly remembered that at this time last year, he was picking up water hyacinths to find leeches, casting a net to catch fish, so that he could exchange for money.

   In just one year, the world has been turned upside down.

   He already has four large stores in operation and has also participated in investments in several other companies.

   Lv's Catering Company alone has a daily turnover of more than 30,000 yuan even in the off-season during the summer vacation.

  The sun is rising, the weather is getting warmer, and there is a commotion from the north.

  Lü Dong walked north along the river bank, observing the wild jujube trees and sour jujube trees outside the river bank. Unlike last summer, when he saw insects everywhere, he walked past several trees, but he didn't even see itchy hot peppers.

  Is this a dead end?

  Lu Dong stopped, looked carefully, and found it.

   This thing is flooded, even if Uncle Seven has a good appetite, it is impossible to eat cleanly.

   Came to the last corner of the "S" bend, which is near the Triangle Dam. Nails took Mingming on the old street and waited for a few boys to undress.

   A group of ten-year-old children lost their lives.

   Nail shouted: "I'm the first!"

   He rushed barefoot to the front of the Triangle Dam and jumped straight off.

  Put-

   The turbid water splashed, and the nails came out of the water.

  Mingming and others jumped down one by one.

  These children quickly climbed up from the bottom with their bare bottoms, the sun was shining on them, and those who were not exposed to the sun would become dark in the morning.

   Lu Dong suddenly thought of Black Egg, if Black Egg finished swimming and sunbathing, he would be 100% African.

   "Brother Dong!" Nail shouted: "Come on, let's go down to the river together, it will be cool!"

   Lu Dong reminded: "Don't plunge into the river with your head down! The water is shallow here, so be careful to plunge your head into the mud!"

   said clearly: "There was a fish in the river just now! It touched me!"

   "Are there fish?" Suddenly a female voice came in from the outside of the embankment, and Lu Lanlan climbed up the embankment: "Is there really any fish?"

   Nails shouted: "There are women!"

  Seven or eight children jumped into the river like dumplings and fell into the water.

   Lu Lanlan's thoughts were all on the fish, and without the slightest embarrassment, she came to Lu Dong's side and asked, "Brother Dong, have you stopped fishing?"

  Lu Dong understood her thoughts and asked, "Want to eat fish?"

   Lu Lanlan smiled and raised her eyebrows: "I want to eat it! Brother Dong, you can catch some fish, okay? I'll go to your store and work for you for free."

   Lu Dong glanced at her, and Lu Lanlan really had something to say: "But you have to eat and drink for free."

   Today, Lu Dong was not in a hurry to go to the store. He glanced at the river that seemed to be slowly rising, and said, "Okay, I'll ask Uncle Seven to borrow the net."

   Lu Lanlan said quickly, "I'll go too."

   The two of them had just stepped off the riverbank and had not returned to the village when they saw Lv Jianren walking towards this side with his shoulders drooping, carrying a fishing net and a water bag.

   Lu Dong patted his head, and the reservoir opened the gate to release water. With the temperament of Seventh Uncle, he said that he would not miss this fishing feast.

  The two greeted Lv Jianren and went back to the embankment together. Because Nails and others were launching, the fish on the triangular dam side were scared away, so they simply walked north to another buffer zone.

  Three people went down and came to the water's edge. Lu Lanlan was very active. He found a longer broken wooden stick and picked up the water hyacinth that had accumulated by the river. Lu Dong and Lu Jianren squatted by the river and waited patiently.

   Lu Jianren lit a cigarette: "You throw two nets first, I'll see if the craftsmanship is lost."

   Lu Dong brought the fishing net and slowly smoothed the net. From childhood to big things, you can't throw them away.

   "Brother Dong, Uncle Seven." Lu Lanlan asked, "Not yet?"

   Lu Jianren played her head: "Wait a minute." He deliberately joked: "Lanlan, let's agree, you can get the fish, you have to exchange your father's chicken for it."

   Lu Lanlan said with a sad face: "Seventh Uncle, go to my dad and tell me, I said it doesn't work, just punish me."

   Lu Jianren and Lu Dong both laughed.

  Lu Dong stood up, glanced at the water surface, and spilled the fishing net in his hand.

   I haven't touched it in nearly a year, the craftsmanship is somewhat trendy, and the fishing nets are not completely cast.

   "Look! Look!" Lv Jianren clicked his tongue: "I forgot all the serious skills I taught you. I have to put it in the past, and I have to expel you from the teacher's door!"

   Lu Dong was too lazy to answer Uncle Seven's nonsense, and slowly dragged the fishing net upwards.

   "There are fish!" Lu Lanlan jumped up excitedly: "Brother Dong, Seventh Uncle, there are fish!"

  Lv Jianren took a look: "Shit luck!"

   Lu Dong dragged onto the fishing net, and there was a catfish in the net, which was more than three kilograms.

   Seeing the catfish, Lu Lanlan's face changed instantly, and her eyebrows curled up in a smile.

   Lv Dong picked the fish from the net, Lv Jianren pulled out the root of the lala seedling, waited for Lv Dong to take out the catfish, put it directly in the mouth of the fish, and handed it to Lv Lanlan.

  Lu Jianren said, "Here, tell your mother, eat it while it's fresh."

   Lu Lanlan's smiling eyes were almost out of sight: "Seventh Uncle is so good, so is Dong-ge."

   She picked up the catfish and was about to go back. Lu Dong said quickly, "Eat it today, but don't let your dad keep it."

   Lu Lanlan said: "Eat today! If my parents and my mother are not free, I will kill myself and do it myself!"

   Thinking of Lu Lanlan's ability to cut a pig's mouth with a knife and chop a big pig's head with an ax in order to eat it, Lu Dong felt that a catfish was no problem at all.

  Lv Lanlan went up the river bank, carrying a big catfish, and went home happily.

   Lu Dong tidied up the fishing net, spilled the second net, and dragged an empty net.

   Lu Jianren shook his head: "If you don't do serious things all day, everything will be abandoned."

  Looking at the empty fishing net, thinking that the net that was cast before was bigger than the bottom of the cauldron, Lu Dong was speechless for a while.

   Crouching by the river, Lu Dong simply changed the subject: "How was your life in the factory?"

   "Relax and at ease." Lv Jianren seemed very satisfied: "Look at the door and patrol the factory. If something is broken, go to repair it. It takes time and time, and freedom and freedom."

   He sighed: "It's just that none of them are playing together. They all say that there are thieves in the nearby village. I have prepared a lot to make a living, so the thieves will not come to our village."

   Lu Dong said: "I guess this thief is from the local area. I have heard of the name of our village. People are coming. You can't take care of yourself because you have to toss?"

  Lü Jianren said seriously: "No, at most, treat him to a good meal. Isn't there any raw fish fillet? I'll treat him to eat raw leeches."

  The two were chatting, when a man came from the shore and shouted at him from afar: "Seventh brother! Seventh brother! The third uncle called you! I told you to go to the village committee! Hurry up!"

  Lv Jianren stood up, threw the cigarette **** directly into the water, and responded, "I'll go right now." He glanced at Lu Dong: "I guess there is trouble, so don't rush to go to work? Come and have a look with me."

   Lu Dong packed up the fishing net and water bag and said, "Let's go."

   The fishing net was handed over to Lv Jianwen who came over, and the two walked quickly south to the village committee compound.

Lu Zhenlin was in the office when he saw Lu Jianren and Lu Dong coming over and said, "A group of people have come to the south of the village to give free eggs, and many people have gone. In this world, how can there be free things? You two go have a look, and the unscrupulous people will drive away."

   Lv Jianren came to the spirit: "Okay!"

   Lu Zhenlin reminded: "Don't hit people!"

   "Third Uncle, I'm the kind of person who does things casually?" Lv Jianren pulled Lu Dong away: "Neither Dongzi nor I like violence."

   "Go." Lu Zhenlin waved his hand.

   When the younger generation came forward, something really unpleasant happened, and he came forward.

   Veterans are the last to go out.

   Lu Dong and Lu Jianren went out of the yard of the brigade, not far south, when Li Wenyue and his father Li Shan came over with a bag of eggs.

   "Uncle Shan!" Lu Dong asked proactively, "Are you going to pick up the eggs? What's the situation?"

   Looking south, there are two extra-large shade tents on the road at the south end of the village, and there seem to be many people.

Li Shan came over, first let the two of them look at the ten eggs in their pockets, and then handed Lu Dong a coloring page: "It is said that it is engaged in the national health project, and I will receive eggs to keep fit and free blood pressure. My blood pressure was measured for me! Last week, when I took Wenyue to the county hospital to see a doctor, I took a blood pressure test by the way, and the blood pressure was normal, but they measured the blood pressure to be very high, so they insisted on recommending medicine for me..."

  Lv Dong looked at the coloring page in his hand, and he was very familiar with it. It was not the first time he saw it: the National Medical Association organized to send warmth to the countryside, a national fitness program, blood pressure measurement, registration to receive healthy eggs to supplement nutrition...

  Lv Jianren glanced at it and said, "This group of people who went to Majia Village not long ago?"

Knowing the nature of this group of people, Lu Dong must not allow them to be kidnapped and deceived at the head of the village, and said, "Seventh uncle, go and see first, I'll go back and prepare something, don't mess with people, don't let the big guy buy it. Their stuff is fine."

   "Okay!" Although Lu Jianren attacked Lu Dong occasionally, he knew that this nephew was reliable.

   Lu Dong was about to leave and stretched out his hand: "Seventh Uncle, give me your hard cigarette case."

   "You don't smoke..." Lv Jianren just muttered something, suddenly thought of something, took out the cigarette case, took out the cigarettes inside, and gave the empty cigarette case to Lu Dong.
