Wu Shufen smiled and nodded. "The old lady is right. For us common folk, having food to eat is all that matters."
Zhang Rongqing said, "That's right! I heard when the Construction Team harvested their ponds last winter, they only got a few hundred pounds of fish from several large ponds. Our biggest pond alone caught that much last year."
By the time the group arrived at the fishpond, chatting and laughing, a crowd of commune members had already gathered on the bank to watch the spectacle.
Lin Lan pointed toward a thatched shed at the foot of the hill. "Let's go watch from there!"
Li Guizhi nodded. "Okay!"
Zhang Rongqing didn't want to hang around with the women, so he walked over to a group of men he was friendly with.
The bank was packed with people, so Lin Lan's group had to cut through the tea-seed field and find a spot in an open area near the shed.
