The weather in summer changes at any time. Not long after the sun rose, a sudden burst of dark clouds came and a heavy rain started. In less than an hour, the rain cleared again. The sky was blue and the rivers in the mountains were filled with water.
Looking outside, Wang Xiaolie said to Chen Yuyi, "Let's go out for a walk and see the mountain scenery after the rain."
Chen Yuyi looked at the officials gathered in the room behind him to discuss, and said: "Observe, all the officials are discussing things, we-"
Wang Xiaolie waved his hand: "That's their business, we don't have to worry about it. In the past few days, the people in the Production and Construction Department can relax and don't get too involved in the officials' discussions. When they figure it out and come up with a rough idea, we Participate again.”
After saying that, Wang Xiaolie walked out of the hall first. Chen Yuyi and Li Huishu, the new script writer, hurriedly followed him out.
The scenery on the mountain seems to have been washed, and everything is fresh. The grass is green, and the leaves, flowers, and fruits on the roadside are also lovely. Birds kept singing and flying in the air.
Taking a breath, Wang Xiaolie said: "I haven't seen this kind of scenery in many days."
Chen Yuyi said: "My observation is that the mountains after the rain are the most refreshing and make people feel comfortable."
Several people were walking along the path in the mountains. A frog jumped across the road from time to time, and disappeared after a few seconds.
Chen Yuyi said: "Observe, although you said a few days ago that many things will change during the bank meeting. But how it will change, and whether the people will benefit or suffer, is really difficult to say. I listened to Xiangyang officials talking, and they also have many doubt."
Wang Xiaolie said: "You don't need to think too much about this matter. The preparation of the documents must confirm that the matter is generally beneficial. How beneficial it is is the matter of the officials below. If they do not do well, they will naturally be punished. If they do well, they will be punished." , will also receive an award.”
Chen Yuyi smiled bitterly: "I've thought about this over and over again, but I still can't figure out why if people have more money, everyone's life will be better. There are countless things in the world, and if there is more money, it should just be the increase in prices."
"Are you sure?" Wang Xiaolie shook his head. "We should understand that most of the things in this world are not valuable. More private money will stimulate the production of more things. Of course, if there are too many, it will be of no use."
Seeing that Chen Yuyi wanted to talk more, Wang Xiaolie waved his hand: "This matter can't be explained clearly. Even if it can be explained clearly, no one believes it. Now is not the time to discuss this. Just do it as planned and wait for three or five days. I’ll understand a lot of things even if I don’t talk about them after the year.”
While talking, several people turned around the foot of the hill. In the grass ahead, I saw two teenagers with their trouser legs rolled up, bending over and not knowing what they were doing.
Hearing footsteps, the two teenagers turned around. Seeing that it was Wang Xiaolie, he hurriedly saluted.
Wang Xiaolie discovered that the young man in front of him was Sun Wulang. Wearing a short coat, his trouser legs were rolled up, with a lot of mud splashed on his face. He hurriedly walked forward and asked, "What are you doing here? It just rained, and the ground in the mountains is very slippery."
Sun Wulang pointed behind him and said: "It rained hard just now, and many small fish swam up and couldn't go back. Ge Erlang and I put these small fish back into the river so that they can grow up in the future."
Wang Xiaolie looked at the grass on the roadside and saw many ditches after the rain. In a pool next to it, many horn fish tried their best to swim upstream along the newly flushed ditch, and they crowded together, which was very spectacular.
Chen Yuyi said: "Fish have the habit of struggling to swim upstream. When these new ditches appear, they will swim up to take a look. Don't worry too much, fish are born like this. When there is less water, they will naturally go back."
Sun Wulang tilted his head and asked: "How to go back? Before they go back, the water will be gone."
Chen Yuyi was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Wang Xiaolie said: "Just do what you like. If you are afraid that the fish will not be able to return home, then help them go back. Over thousands of years, fish have formed such habits, and there must be their own reasons. Don't worry too much. ”
Sungoro didn't understand. There is obviously no water in the place where these fish swim, how can they survive? When the sun comes out and the small puddle dries up, there is no water even on the way back. What will these fish do?
This kind of thing seems simple, but the human reason behind it is very complicated. It’s hard for an adult to explain clearly, let alone two children? Wang Xiaoyou didn't say much, he just looked at the many pond fish crowded together in the grass and struggling to swim upstream. I don’t know if every fish’s nature is like this, or if most of them just follow others. When I see others swimming, I swim too.
Sun Wulang and Ge Erlang blocked the newly flushed ditch, and then caught the fish in it back to the pond. It seemed that they had been busy for a long time.
Uncle Li Hui said: "Although Hutou Mountain is not big, there are countless pools like this. You can save the fish here, but what about the fish in other places? This kind of thing has been like this since ancient times, so why bother with it?"
Ge Erlang asked: "This has been the case since ancient times, so we just don't care?"
Wang Xiaolie laughed when he heard this: "Since ancient times, things like this have to be taken care of. Human power is limited, and it is normal to save here but not there. Just because you can't save there, don't stop saving here. Although children's minds are simple, they are also pure. You just do what you think you should do, and you don't have to listen to what others say."
Ge Erlang looked at Wang Xiaolie and said, "It's best to observe."
Wang Xiaolie smiled and said nothing. On a whim, I got off the road and walked into the grass.
After a heavy rain, the mountains swelled and there were ditches everywhere. There is a deep ditch not far from the pool. If it is full of water, it can be waist deep. There was usually no water in this ditch. At this time, the water in the ditch had just reached the ankles, and the flow was very fast. The ditch was crowded with loaches, tightly packed together and struggling to swim upstream. In some places, only loaches were seen, and the water was almost invisible.
Wang Xiaolie pointed to the loach in the ditch and said, "There are more fish here, why don't you help them?"
Ge Erlang said: "The loaches look so ugly, and their bodies are so slippery that they can't be caught. These little fish are beautiful and look pitiful, so naturally we have to help them!"
Wang Xiaolie nodded: "It makes sense. You are here to help the fish, and you are just following your own whims. Naturally, you want to help whomever you want. But loach is a delicacy, so why don't we catch it and cook it."
"Officials are joking, what's so delicious about loach!" Sun Wulang and Ge Erlang didn't believe it.
Wang Xiaolie said: "I said it's delicious, so of course it's delicious, but people in the world don't know how to make it."
After saying that, he ordered the soldiers who were following him to go down to the ditch to catch some loaches. A few wicker sticks were pulled from the willow tree nearby and several large strings were threaded through them.
Loach is not a serious fish, and no one would eat it in normal times. Especially in the era when there was less oil and seasoning, the food smelled too earthy. The loach delicacies of later generations have evolved with the times, and this fish can be made into a delicacy.
In this era, no one eats not only the loaches, but also the smaller fish in the river. If country people are willing, they can catch many fish at any time in these small rivers, ponds and ditches. It's just that the taste is hard to swallow.
Wang Xiaolie has been thinking about the recent discussions in the past few days. Seeing this situation, he felt that it made sense. So I caught some loaches and went back, cooked some food, and talked to the officials below.
