Portable Space: Red Age of Rebirth

A group of people were chatting and laughing, and the road didn't feel too far. The village in the pond was far or near, and it took about twenty minutes to walk. The three smaller ponds here are close to each other, about

Forming a triangle, another large pond is still ten minutes away from here. When we arrived at the three small ponds, the village chief was already waiting there. This leader was really very responsible.

There is little rain in Qinghe Bay in autumn and winter. The three small ponds are now semi-dry, and the water surface has shrunk to less than one-fifth of what it was in summer. Moreover, the deepest part of the water is only over one meter deep, which is about as deep as an adult's waist.

Already.

We come to the pond once a year, and there is no need for the village chief to divide the work. Everyone starts to work spontaneously. The strong laborers all rolled up their trouser legs and went down to the pond with shovels. What they saw was Ya'er next to them.

I was shocked. I wouldn’t just wear thick clothes and go directly to the pond to fish. It would be so cold. The clothes on my body would be soaked after a while. So why bother wearing old clothes?

mean.

To Ya'er's surprise, the villagers did not go into the water to catch fish. Instead, they found a place in the middle of the pond where it was obviously the darkest and dug out the pond mud. The dark pond mud was dumped directly with shovels.

When we get to the shore, occasionally one or two loaches are thrown up along with the pond mud, and the group of children on the edge of the pond are screaming with joy. The strong laborers in the pond are surrounded by half a circle, and they are very busy.

A group of adults and children were chattering happily and busy picking up loaches that were thrown up occasionally.

One of Ya'er's best friends also came, and of course it was Fat Ya who loved to play the most. Seeing Ya'er coming, this person took Ya'er's little hand and chatted. Fat Ya had been here last year.

, now Fat Ya uses her little fat arms to show Ya'er how big the biggest fish caught last year is; she talks about how to cook the most delicious fish, and she is so greedy that her own saliva is almost flowing out. Others

The kids are all about the same. They gather together in groups of three or five and wait for a while to go fishing.[

Almost all the children in the village have seen fish ponds and know what is going on, so it is relatively good. At least they will take the breaks when picking up loaches. But Ya'er's four cousins ​​can't bear it.

Suddenly, there were loaches as thick as two fingers in the pond mud that had just been thrown up. I hurriedly ran over to pick them up, but I didn’t notice that shovel after shovel of pond mud was also thrown up. Xiao Hai’s favorite

Show off, catch the loach without saying anything and run away quickly, swinging the loach in your hand, showing off to the group of children next to you, but the result is that you are extremely happy and sad, and you are dumped by the villagers on the bank who are immersed in digging mud from the pond and don't even notice.

There was a shovel of black mud, and a lot of black mud was splashed on the little face that had been cleaned specially in the morning. When I touched it with my little hand, it looked like a flower.

Xiao Hai's embarrassed appearance made the children around him laugh. Many anxious children had encountered such a thing in the past. Xiao Hai looked at the black mud on his body and was afraid that his friends would laugh at him. He wanted to go home and change into clean clothes, but he couldn't.

I left and wanted to continue watching the fun, so I finally rubbed the almost dry mud on my face with my small hands and continued to pick up loaches. Anyway, my body was dirty, so it was considered that there were too many lice and it didn't itch.

The country people have a lot of strength, and soon a thick layer of dark pond mud was thrown up from the edge of the pond. While the people below took a breather, the village chief and some elderly people led these half-grown men.

I was busy shoveling more than ten centimeters of turf from the nearby weeds to cover it. When the villagers from the pond dumped another layer of pond mud, I covered it with a layer of turf. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers.

At this time, the work was not lazy and slippery. The workers threw their arms away and worked like this. In more than an hour, several thick piles of pond mud were piled up on the edge of the pond.

A large hole was also cleared out in the house.

Fifth Grandpa also came over with a cane. Looking at the busy villagers, the wrinkles on his smiling face smoothed out a lot. Ya'er saw that Fifth Grandpa was also here, and her little best friend ran to catch loaches again.

After leaving, she had to rush over alone to say hello. In fact, she wanted to ask what was going on. Didn't she say she wanted to catch fish? How to dig up the pond mud? She still doesn't quite understand it.

"Fifth Grandpa, Fifth Grandpa, why do you need to add weeds to the pond mud? Why do you need to dig out the pond mud? Can't you just use a fishing net to spread it?" Ya'er looked questioning, and Fifth Grandpa looked very happy.

There is something that this little girl doesn't understand.

"Little Ya'er doesn't understand this kind of fishing in the field. We don't have many big livestock in our village, so there is not enough fertilizer. If there is not enough fertilizer, the crops in the field will not grow well. This pond mud is fertile.

Very soon, the mud and weeds in the pond were left to soak for a period of time and then rotted into fertilizer on their own, which can be used to fertilize the ground in the spring. Besides, the pond is very shallow, and you can’t catch any fish with a fishing net.” The old naughty boy said when he saw Xiao Ya’er.

She had a look of realization on her face, and she was extremely happy in her heart. This little girl is very smart and knows a lot, but when it comes to fishing in this kind of land, she is still good at fishing in her own way.

The pond mud is almost clean, so we dig a few ditches between the newly dug water pit and the bottom of the pond, and use fishing nets to block the entrances. The water from the bottom of the pond continues to flow into the newly dug pit.

Of course, small finger-sized fry also swam through the mesh of the fishing net along with the current.

It has to be said that country people have their own set of the simplest, most direct and effective ways of doing things. At this time, Ya'er had to admire the simple wisdom of the villagers. In this way, they can clear out the silt and fertile fields while retaining the water in the pond.

We will continue to fish for small fry next year. And when we open the fish pond next year, we can clean up the mud at the bottom of this year's pond. In this cycle, there will be more fertilizer in the ground and the pond water will be kept clear. It is indeed a win-win situation.

.

In more than half an hour, the water at the bottom of the pond had dropped to the depth of the ankles. The water was getting less and less, and the fish at the bottom of the pond could be seen clearly. From time to time, one or two jumped up, attracting the attention of the fish.

There was a roar from the crowd.

Seeing this, the young men all took basins, buckets, and whiskers to get into the water. Two people formed a group, one holding a bucket or something, and the other just grabbed it directly, or blocked it with a whisker.

.In the winter, the fish that used to stay under the water and were too lazy to move are now like exploding a hornet's nest. They swim for life and struggle desperately. However, these fish are unlucky, as are all the country people.

A good fish catcher will never fail as long as he starts, but now there are some big fish in the pond, and they are very strong. For adults, it is easy to say that their hands are like pliers. As long as they catch them, they will let them go.

It can't run away. But for those half-grown kids, if they are not careful, the fish will break free, causing them to scream for a while.

The fish struggled in the hands of the villagers, and a little bit of mud was thrown out of the fish tail. Everyone's face was stained with a lot of light, but everyone was very happy. Such a big fish is very delicious when braised in braised sauce.

A few drops of pond water were thrown into the fish's mouth, but no one cared. They were all wondering whether to steam or braise these fish during the Chinese New Year.

For a time, the pond was crowded with a large circle of people, shouting and cheering constantly, bringing a different kind of warmth to the lonely early winter. People kept lifting buckets full of fish to the edge of the pond.

, Ya'er couldn't help but held Fat Ya's hand and came forward to take a look. The fish in the bucket were all crowded, the big ones were as long as a ruler, the smaller ones were as big as an adult's palm, grass carp, crucian carp,

There are many kinds of silver carp, and Ya'er is very moved when she sees them. She wishes she could go down and catch a few to enjoy herself. But it's just a thought. Not to mention that it's very cold in the pond, just to give myself a fish.

You may not be able to catch it yourself. This wild fish has a light mucous membrane on its surface and is very slippery. It is difficult for people who have never caught fish before to catch it.

Not only Ya'er was very excited, but even Fat Ya was eager to try. But looking at the pond, except for the adults, the rest were a group of half-grown children. There was no little girl going out to catch fish, so the two of them had to stand.

Looking along the bank, the two little girls couldn't help shouting when they saw someone caught a big fish. They were much more excited than the fish catcher.

The boys in Mr. Guo's family are notoriously naughty in the village. The two older ones went out to fish early. The youngest, Xiao Shuan, who is only eight or nine years old, is also eager to try. Guo

The boss didn't care about him. In the summer, this kid often bathed in the pond. He was also good at digging loaches and catching eels. The water in the pond is very shallow now, but it's a bit cold, but as the old saying goes, kid

Children have very strong firepower and can withstand freezing temperatures better than adults.

Xiaoshuan, who was trying to get off the pond, saw that his father didn't stop him. He immediately sat on the edge and took off his black cotton-padded shoes. He also specifically asked Ya'er and the others to watch him and don't do anything.

He was dirty. He rolled up his trouser legs to his knees and went down to the pond. But Ya'er carefully observed his expression. When his little feet came into contact with the cold water, the boy's brows frowned obviously.

After a while. However, this boy is indeed a good hand at catching fish and birds. Not only did he just enter the pond, he grabbed the palm-sized crucian carp melon seeds and threw them into the bucket.

The villagers nearby saw that this little boy was good at catching fish, and laughed at Mr. Guo and said, "Boss Guo, this boy of yours is good. He is from Qinghewan, and his ability to catch fish is much better than that of Mr. Guo."

"My lord." When Boss Guo heard this, he felt very happy. Although the boys in his family were very naughty, they were all good at catching fish and birds. The family often relied on these boys to improve their lives.

A few people here are praising Xiao Shuan, but over there Xiao Shuan is in trouble again, "Dad, dad, come here quickly, I stepped on something hard, I think it's a big old turtle, hurry up, hurry up

"Come on, I can't stand anymore." As soon as Boss Guo heard this, he walked to Xiao Shuan in a few steps. This old turtle is a good thing, it is very replenishing, and it hibernates in winter, so it is difficult to catch it.

It arrived. When Xiao Shuan saw his father coming over, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. As a result, he was accidentally pushed up by the old turtle under his feet. With a snap, he suddenly squatted down firmly.

Pidun, the only good thing is that the pond is full of soft mud, so it didn’t hurt at all, but the clothes on my body really can’t be worn anymore. As a result, this kid didn’t pay attention to his soaked clothes, mouth, etc.

He kept shouting, "Dad, hurry up, it's on your left, hurry up, catch that old turtle quickly."

Boss Guo was also unambiguous. He stepped on the soles of his big feet and firmly stepped on the old turtle under his feet. He put his hands together, tightly grasped the shell of the old turtle, and took it out of the water. It was really a big old turtle.

, as big as a small washbasin. When the surrounding villagers saw such a big old turtle, which had been growing for at least ten years, they couldn't help but praise Xiao Shuan's good luck. Such a big old turtle is very rare.

.

When Xiao Shuan saw that his father had caught the old turtle, he felt very happy. He discovered this first, "Dad, I must be awesome. When I stepped on it, it was hard, so I felt something was wrong."

When Mr. Guo saw that his youngest son was covered in pond mud and his little face was streaked with black and white, he couldn't help but give him a headache. "If you don't hurry back home and change into clean clothes, you will get me into trouble."

[

Xiao Shuan saw that everyone around him was praising him for his good skills and good luck. His little chest was raised high on purpose, like a young general who had just returned from victory. He was full of energy, but the image of this young general was too embarrassing, and his whole body was covered in black.

There was a lot of mud even on my little face. Although the sun in early winter still brought a little warmth, the cold wind in early winter was very strong. A gust of cold wind blew by, and the frozen little boy shivered.

She didn't even bother to show off anymore. She put on the shoes Ya'er handed her and ran home. It was really cold. Everyone looked at Xiao Shuan who was running home and burst into laughter. This brat was really cold.

It was so funny, Mr. Guo was also dumbfounded and shook his head repeatedly.

Xiao Hai was the one who laughed the hardest. He almost couldn't stand upright when he laughed. When he was thrown all over the pond mud just now, Xiao Shuan made a lot of fun of himself. He didn't expect that he was even more unlucky than him, even though he was caught.

It's a big old turtle, but it's all dirty. I guess Aunt Guo will beat him with a broomstick when he gets home. I feel happy just thinking about it. Although these two little brothers have been very bad-tempered recently,

Sometimes when they are so intimate, they wish they could wear a pair of pants. Xiaohai is gloating about his misfortune, and Xiaoshuan laughed at him just now. It was just the elder brother laughing at the second brother. This can be regarded as the better the relationship, the more casual it becomes.
