Chapter 96

"I won't sit down," said Zhang Junming, "You are from Zhang Daqiang's house, are you? If you didn't meet at home, you really wouldn't recognize him...uh...will Zhang Daqiang be at home?"

"He?" Chang Mingfen curled his lips and said angrily, "Can he be at home at this point? He is still in the bay! He ran to the bay after work. I called him three times across the wall. I just didn't come back."

"Oh, he went fishing, right?" Zhang Junming asked.

"Yes! What else can he do besides fishing!" Chang Mingfen said, "Come on, sit in the house for a while and have some tea, and I'll go and call him immediately."

"No," Zhang Junming said, "You are busy with your own. I'll go find him by myself, there's something to do with him." After that, he waved his hand to Chang Mingfen to say goodbye, turned around and left the yard, turned around and walked towards the Xiwan Reservoir.

"Is there something wrong?" Chang Mingfen muttered as Zhang Junming's figure disappeared into the alley, "Tsk! What can the dignified village chief asks him for something? If he is either fishing or catching shrimps, he will definitely have nothing to do!"

Standing at the street entrance, Zhang Junming saw Zhang Daqiang standing by the pool, bathing in the setting sun, and fishing rod horizontally, like a silent statue. Occasionally, a fish pecked through the water surface, and found that this warm picture was moving in quietness and stillness, and there was a rare tranquility and beauty. Zhang Junming lit a cigarette leisurely, and wisps of smoke scattered from his mouth and walked towards Zhang Daqiang.

"Zhang Daqiang, this is a public reservoir, not your personal reservoir. Who asked you to fish here?" Ten meters away, Zhang Junming held the cigarette butt in his hand and shouted to break the tranquility of the dusk. Of course, he was joking. Starting with joking, quickly narrowing the distance between the other party and himself, this is a common method used by wealthy and idle people. This method has always been good.

Zhang Daqiang, whose calves were hidden in weeds and reeds, was startled, and shook his hands, turned his head to look in the sound, and suddenly met Zhang Junming's bright smile. Zhang Daqiang immediately released the tension on his face and laughed. A smile would be infected. "Brother Junming, what are you doing?" Zhang Daqiang asked, looking at Zhang Junming who was coming towards him.

Without waiting for an answer, Zhang Junming took out his cigarette box and handed over a cigarette, "I'll come to fish and learn from you by the way." Zhang Junming said.

"How come you... have time to fish?" Zhang Daqiang asked, "Leaders like you are busy all day long." In Zhang Daqiang's mind, the reason why those rich people are rich is because they are making money at all times, and how can they pass the time by fishing? But he didn't know that those rich and idle people have already raised their drinking and entertainment to the level of self-cultivation, and have moved from the bright lights and wine that come out of the day and night to the integration into nature and the pastoral world.

"It's time to do it, it's time to play," Zhang Junming replied. Zhang Daqiang also lit a cigarette. As the chatting, the smoke from the two squirted into each other, just like the relationship between them getting closer and closer. People don't know that it's difficult for poor people to make friends with rich people, and how many thresholds it takes to cross; but it's easier for rich people to make friends with poor people. A cigarette roll, a warm word, or a irrelevant little wine will make the poor cry and have the courage to "a scholar dies for his confidant."

Since ancient times, the poor have tried their best to make friends with the rich, while the rich have made friends with the poor, and they have a broad mind and a tolerance of the world.

"Fishing is good," Zhang Junming felt that it was almost done and had reached the opportunity to speak freely, so he spoke, "This is a healthy lifestyle... I also want to fish recently. I heard that you are a master, so I asked you to be my teacher."

"Please me? Be a teacher..." Zhang Daqiang was a little flattered, "I dare not be a teacher... But if you need any help in fishing, I can still do it."

"Okay, that's all..." Zhang Junming said, "If I want to fish, what do I need to prepare?"

"At least you have to prepare a few good rods, a few rolls of good lines, a few good floats, a few good drops, a few good hooks, and a few good baits..." Zhang Daqiang said, looking at Zhang Junming's suspicious gaze and continued to explain, "The waters are different, the fishing rods are also different. The pond fishing rods are short, the river fishing rods are long, and you have to throw a rod when you catch a big fish... The fish size is different, the diameter of the fish line and the size of the hook are also different... The water depth is different, and different floats and drops are needed... The fish species are different, and the baits should also be used to suit their preferences, such as fishing for crucian carp on wheat surfaces, small fish on earthworms, and black fish you have to use live food..."

"There are so many things here!" Zhang Junming sighed.

"Yes," Zhang Daqiang showed off, "in addition to these, there are also equipment such as fish guards, rod support, nets, knife and scissors... from the waters, from the pond, river, lake, sea fishing... from the seasons, from the spring and winter fishing..."

"Can you fish in winter?" Zhang Junming asked.

"Yes," Zhang Daqiang said with an eloquence, "break the hole on the ice, put the bait to attract the fish, and then fish with a short rod."

"Eye-opening," Zhang Junming sighed, "Let's go, stop fishing, let's go eat together, eat and chat. Fishing is simply a science, and it's really not possible without a teacher like you!"

Zhang Daqiang tried every possible way but failed, so he took the fishing gear and drove to the hotel in Zhang Junming's Audi car. The two of them ate and chatted. After drinking, they agreed to go to the fishing gear store the next day to buy a fishing application. Since then, every now and then, Zhang Junming has asked Zhang Daqiang to go fishing. Whether it is wild fishing or garden fishing, the two have gone to many places.

Zhang Xiaoqiang occasionally comes to find Zhang Daqiang, and his sister-in-law Chang Mingfen always complains to him: "He? He has been hooked away by the village chief Zhang Junming. At this time, he may be a hundred miles away... Your brother is really... He loved fishing as his life, but now he is ready. Someone invites him to dinner and fishing doesn't cost money. He is so happy that he doesn't want to leave any more. He doesn't have home all day long, and I can't see him... Maybe in a few days, he will forget what I look like..."

Zhang Xiaoqiang sighed in his heart, turned around and walked out the door. "Damn, he really deserves to be a relative of his father, he is the same as my father!" Zhang Xiaoqiang said angrily in his heart.

In the following time, Secretary Zhang Jinghua was always good and "ill", and Village Chief Zhang Junming was busy and idle, but according to rumors, the two seemed to be two stubborn male horses, who never fed in different troughs and did not walk the same rut. As a result, the "Zhangjia Village Civilization Beautification Project" was stranded. The various policies of the park subsidy were still unable to be implemented under the stubbornness of the two supreme leaders. The gap between Zhangjia Village and the surrounding villages was getting bigger and bigger, which seriously slowed down the process of the park's desire to achieve the civilized unification of the park's villages.

Finally one day, the park sent village cadres to Zhangjia Village and directly led Secretary Zhang Jinghua and Village Chief Zhang Junming. Under the leadership of this village cadre, the sports equipment in the village was finally erected, neat landscape trees were planted, and square bricks were laid on the corners of the main street, and dedicated sanitation workers cleaned the road surface. Zhangjia Village gradually became what it should be.

They faced elections again. On the eve of the election, given the long-term discord between Secretary Zhang Jinghua and Village Chief Zhang Junming, the park confirmed that the two were unable to work together and no longer allowed them to participate in the election of the leader of Zhangjia Village. In order to achieve this goal, the park leaders moved their party membership relationship to the park, and the two lost the qualification to run for the leader of the village.

Therefore, in this election, Zhang Guangjun stood out and became the new village chief.
