After lunch, Jiang Hu went to the village chief's house. The last time he visited was two years ago, for the matter of using the manure from his family's privy.
However, this time Jiang Hu didn't bring Xiaomi. It was enough for him to go alone.
The village chief had just finished his meal and was sitting under the eaves, smoking a dry tobacco. It was a cheap tobacco leaf, cut into pieces, clumped together, and smoked in the pipe.
Seeing Jiang Hu coming, he was a bit stunned, then said in surprise: "Xiao Jiang? Why are you here? Come, sit down, have you eaten?"
"I've eaten, village chief, I came to see you for a matter." Jiang Hu got straight to the point and sat down next to the village chief.
The village chief called out to his wife inside the house to bring some hot water.
"What's up, what's the matter?"
Jiang Hu recounted the issue of the water level dropping: "I hope I'm just being overly worried, but if it turns out to be true, the consequences could be severe."
