Chapter 207 Exciting Prizes
After the fish on the boat were sorted, Big Brother Li and his family of three pulled the cart home. Chen Yongwei rode his tricycle to Tuxia Bridge to sell fish. Li Changle and Second Brother Li delivered the fish to Chen Dong's family to the seafood store.

The two brothers each came out with about ten yuan, bought a barrel of diesel and left it at Chen's, then walked back under the scorching sun.

When I got home, I saw the yard was full of bamboo flats and the bamboo racks in the alley were full of eels. The wind was strong in the alley and I didn't see any flies.

The dried fish and shrimps drying on the bamboo flats in the yard were covered with fishing nets, but there were still too many flies buzzing around them, which was very annoying to look at.

"There are so many flies. We have to think of a way."

"That's a lot. There are even more when the sun goes down." Brother Li looked as if he was used to it and laughed at him for making a fuss.

Li Changle suddenly remembered the methods of repelling flies that he had seen in short videos. He walked home excitedly and decided to give it a try.

The mountains and waters are good these days, but the sanitary conditions are not good enough. It is not like later times, when open-air latrines and cesspools have long been replaced by toilets and septic tanks, and sewage is directly discharged from the sewer into the long pond and then into the sea...

But by then, the large patches of water chestnuts in the long pond were gone, as were the fish and shrimps in the pond. All that was left was a pond full of black, smelly sewage.

Li Xiaohai, who was squatting there playing with the dog, saw him coming back and happily greeted him, "Dad, Grandpa Dong is home. He asked you and Uncle Wei to go to the brigade headquarters at 2 o'clock. He wants to give you a reward."

Li Xiaobo also ran over and said, "Uncle San, the village loudspeaker has called for everyone to go!"

"Uncle San knows, he will go when the time comes."

"A Le, A Dong said that leaders from the Maritime Administration and the police station will also come. Some people will come to take pictures of you, and they will publish them in the newspapers!" Father Li came out of the house and said.

"With such a big event, did you say there would be any prizes?"

"Why do you care what prizes they give out?" Father Li said cheerfully, "It's an honor to be able to take photos with the leaders of the police station and the Maritime Safety Administration."

Brother Li: "A Le, remember to ask them to give you a photo. If you have any problems in the future, you can ask the leaders for help."

Li Changle felt that what they said was right, and looked at the two of them with a smile, "Aren't you going to take a look later?"

"Your brothers don't have time. Ah Jin came this morning and asked you to go back to Li'ao. He will take you to the brick kiln factory to see the bricks and tiles, and also hire a few cargo ships on the waterway to transport stone strips and slabs."

Father Li paused for a moment and said, "After the bricks and stones are brought back, we need to go to the mountain to cut some bamboo to build a bamboo shed. I will go over there to keep watch."

Li Changle looked at the time. "It's only twelve o'clock. We said it was two o'clock. It would be good if we can start at half past two. After dinner, I will go up the mountain with Awei to cut the bamboos first."

"The food is ready, just waiting for you to come back and eat." Father Li said as he walked back.

Li Changle went home and found the sugar jar. After searching around, he couldn't find any laundry detergent, only a small piece of soap.

After thinking about it, he went back to the cupboard and took out the can of baking soda. He then found a few plastic cans that were left over from being tied up and scooped half of them with water.
I added some sugar and soda ash, broke the soap into pieces and put them into the jar, then stirred it with a stick a few times, and stopped only when I saw bubbles.

Li Xiaohai looked at him curiously, "Dad, you don't need to put sugar and that powdery stuff in when you blow bubbles."

"Dad doesn't blow bubbles, they're used to kill flies."

"Can this kill?"

"You'll know after you try it!" Li Changle handed him a jar with a smile, "Put it under the bamboo basket for Dad, and check after dinner to see if the flies have been killed."

"Oh!" Li Xiaohai took the jar, leaned forward to smell it, and then walked into the yard.

Li Changle put the remaining cans into the dustpan and placed them in places where there were the most flies. He turned around and saw his son squatting in front of the cans guarding them. He took him by the hand and walked towards his parents with amusement.

"Dad, can bubble water really kill flies?"

"Yes, if you stay here and guard them, they won't dare to come and eat."

When the father and son entered the house, the food was already served.

Zhou Ruonan saw him come in and said to him, "I took Xiaoyu to the town this morning to buy the jar. When the tide goes out, you can take him fishing when you are free."

Li Changle nodded in agreement. The adults hurriedly finished their meal and went about their own business.

Li Changle went to Chen's house and called Chen Yongwei, and the two went to Li's bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest is on the mountain behind the master's temple. The tallest bamboo is more than 20 meters long, and the thickest part is as thick as the mouth of a bowl.

The two men picked up four or five bamboo poles that had grown into green and yellow bamboos, cut them up, pulled them down the mountain, dragged them onto a cart, and pulled them to Nanshan. It was two o'clock in twenty minutes before they unloaded them and returned home.

As soon as Zhou Ruonan saw him, she said, "Ah Le, hurry up. Grandpa Dong has come to see you twice. Mom has taken Xiao Hai and the others to the brigade headquarters."

"Okay!" Li Changle took two steps and looked back, "Did you kill the fly?"

"We killed a lot of them. My sister-in-law and I put a few more jars." Zhou Ruonan looked at him in surprise. "Where did you learn this from?"

"I listened to what those people said, so I gave it a try. I didn't expect it to be so effective."

"It's just a bit sugary, it would be better if it didn't need sugar." Zhou Ruonan said and urged, "Hurry up, it will be too late later."

"It's still in time." Li Changle looked at her proudly, "Aren't you going to watch me receive the award?"

"I saw that my mother and father wanted to go, so I let them go. There are so many dry goods at home, and my second sister-in-law and I have to stay at home to watch over them, and we also have to kill fish."

"All right!"

Li Changle hurriedly washed himself and changed into clean clothes. When he arrived at the alley, he saw Chen Yongwei with a flushed face, standing there talking to Jin Chan. Both of them blushed when they saw him coming.

Li Changle felt that people these days were still simple and honest. He looked at the two of them and smiled, "Why are you looking at me with red faces? Hurry to the brigade headquarters!" After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the brigade headquarters.

Chen Yongwei pulled Jin Chan's hand, and the two hurried to follow.

Some of the villagers he met on the way asked him what prize his superiors were going to give him at the meeting today, and some asked him if he was going to be given money.

"I haven't received any notice, and I don't know what prizes are given out?" Li Changle said and walked away.

Just after crossing the stone arch bridge, I saw Accountant Chen walking over in a hurry. I glared at him angrily and said, "Why are you two so long-winded? The cadres are almost here, but you haven't arrived yet."

Li Changle smiled and took out a cigarette and handed it over, "Why are you in such a hurry? We're almost there, but it hasn't arrived yet, so we just need to get there on time. Why are you waiting so early?"

"The police station leader will be here soon, so be honest and don't be so frivolous." Accountant Chen warned him, holding a cigarette in his mouth, with his hands behind his back, he turned around and walked towards the meeting room. "Don't worry, I won't!" Li Changle followed with a smile, "Uncle Dong, is your principal Chen back?"

As he spoke, he waved at Chen Yongwei and Jin Chan, signaling them to hurry up. The two nodded and hurried towards the meeting room.

Accountant Chen glanced at him and said, "I've been very busy these past two days. I may not be able to come back until school starts."

"Uncle Dong!" Li Changle looked at him with a flattering face, "You know my An Nan, she has worked diligently in the school for several years. Can you please ask Principal Chen when she can be converted to a regular employee?"

Last time, Anan said that he wanted to get a regular job as soon as possible, so he was thinking about when to come and find Uncle Dong. His eldest brother would definitely be able to help with this matter.

Accountant Chen pondered for a moment and said, "When he comes back, bring An Nan home to ask him."

Anan is doing well in school, and the teachers there are very satisfied with her performance, so all the relatives help her whenever they can.

Li Changle thought that Zhou Ruonan's job was also due to his help, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Dong, my family is now living the life we ​​have today thanks to your care over the years."

Accountant Chen smiled and looked back at him. "Your family's current life is earned by your own hard work. If you are still as ambitious as before, I won't even bother to talk to you."

"Don't worry, I will live a down-to-earth life in the future."

"Alright!" Accountant Chen patted him on the shoulder, "Hurry up and go in and put on your big red flower, the leader is coming."

"Ah~" Li Changle stopped, "Do you still want to wear a big red flower?"

"You're not ugly, what are you afraid of?" Accountant Chen smiled and pushed him in.

When Li Changle entered, he found that there were already quite a few people sitting inside. Chen Yongwei, with a red face and a big red flower on his head, stood there uncomfortably, looking at him with a silly smile.

Grandma Chen, Jin Chan and the Li family sat in the second row. Lai Xiaomei and a dark-skinned, big-faced girl were also sitting inside. They looked at the silly-smiling Chen Yongwei with complicated expressions.

As soon as the two sons saw him, they ran towards him and said, "Dad, Uncle Awei is the groom."

Li Changle rubbed the two children's heads and said, "Uncle Wei will be the groom next year."

Several nephews, nieces, and Li's father and mother all looked at him with smiles, as if he had really done something great and good.

The director of the women's department handed him a big red flower and praised him, "Auntie Hua, your son A-Le is so good-looking. He looks even more handsome with this big red flower on."

Father and mother Li looked at their son with their mouths wide open with joy. They had never thought that there would be a day when they would see their son receiving the award with a big red flower.

Li Changle, wearing a big red flower, stood on the stage feeling uncomfortable and felt like she couldn't even find a suitable posture to stand.

"Dad, I want to wear a big red flower too!" Li Xiaozhou ran up and took his hand and said.

Li Changle looked at his son and immediately felt at ease, "Isn't Dad handsome?"

"So handsome!" Li Xiaozhou proudly pulled his hand, "My dad is even more handsome than the groom!"

Li Xiaohai hastily corrected, "Dad is not the groom, Dad is here to receive the prize."

After the two children interrupted him, Chen Yongwei felt much more at ease. Looking at his grandma and Jin Chan who were looking at him with smiles on their faces, he smiled brightly.

After seeing this, Lai Xiaomei suddenly felt uncomfortable and pulled the black-faced girl away from the venue.

Secretary Wang saw a car coming from Changtang, so he quickly stood on the stage and said to everyone, "Quiet, quiet! Everyone, sit down. The leaders of the police station are coming."

After hearing this, Li Changle took his son's hand, pulled Chen Yongwei again, and sat down.

As soon as I sat down, I heard a horn outside. I turned around and saw a jeep driving over and stopping in the yard.

Captain Zhou and two men who looked like cadres got out of the car, followed by a man carrying a small box and a young policeman holding a camera.

Secretary Wang and Accountant Chen greeted them warmly. The two leaders looked to be in their forties and had a much stronger aura than Captain Zhou. After a few pleasantries, Accountant Chen asked Li Changle and Chen Yongwei to greet them.

It turned out that one of them was the director and the other was the bureau chief. It was the first time in Li Changle's life that he spoke to such high-ranking officials. He was a little nervous and said a few polite words. He felt more comfortable talking to Captain Zhou.

The leader praised the two people and said a few polite words. Then the group entered the meeting room. Secretary Wang spoke first, introducing the two leaders, and then the two leaders spoke.

He first praised Li Changle and Chen Yongwei, then showed everyone some photos and told the villagers present that there are still many spies hidden and active in our country, who are using all kinds of means to spy on and steal state secrets.

Let everyone be vigilant and report any suspicious objects and strange metal devices, or things like those in the propaganda posters, caught at sea to the border police station or the Maritime Administration in a timely manner. As long as the report is true, there will be a reward.

Li Changle knew all this in his previous life. If they were discovered, he would definitely report it immediately. What he cared about now was what reward the higher-ups would give them, whether it was just a group photo or a commendation in the newspaper.

After the leader of the Maritime Safety Administration finished speaking, Captain Zhou picked up the cardboard box he brought and said to Li Changle, "This is a prize prepared for you, a maritime radio."

Li Changle was so excited after hearing this: Wow ~ So generous, maritime radios are not cheap these days, they must cost thousands of yuan, right?

Chen Yongwei was so excited that his ears turned red. He looked at Li Changle with admiration. His brother A Le was really amazing. He told his leader that he wanted a more practical prize, but he didn't expect it to be so practical. It was just like finding a pillow when you are sleepy.

The meeting room suddenly became lively, with everyone whispering and discussing. The leaders on the stage saw that it was just as they thought, and they looked at the people who were talking happily.

"Oh my god! I heard this thing is very valuable! When my grandfathers come back from the boat, I will have to talk to them about it and ask them to pay close attention to it next time they go out to sea and bring back a prize."

Villagers who have boats to go out to sea are thinking that they should look carefully next time they go out to sea, because who knows, maybe they will be the one to receive the prize next time.

Mr. Li, Mrs. Li and Grandma Chen all clapped their hands happily. The little ones in the Li family also clapped their hands loudly, and the people below also clapped their hands.

Li Changle was no longer nervous. He happily shook the leader's hand, and words of gratitude and praise poured out like water.

"Thank you, leaders! Thank you, leaders! The country is more prosperous because of good leaders like you who think about what the people think, worry about what the people worry about, and truly serve the people..."

Chen Yongwei would nod whenever his brother said something, as he thought whatever his brother said was right.

"I hope you will continue to work hard to find all the enemy's special equipment in our waters and crush their conspiracy..."

The two leaders did not expect that a fisherman could say such words and thought that Secretary Wang and others had taught them in advance.

Secretary Wang and Accountant Chen thought that Zhou Ruonan taught him at home, and felt that it was better to have a good education and speak well.

　Friends, I'm V5, ^_^, thank you for your continued support! I will work hard and diligently to repay you with better stories! Thank you!
