Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

The Lu family's corn has been processed.

The crusher was also moved to the reservoir.

Hu Dagui and Dahong Erhong also went to work at the reservoir.

The recruitment of workers for the reservoir has long been spread throughout the branch.

Brothers Da Hong and Er Hong found several people, but none of them were willing to come.

This is mainly the result of the farm's dairy farming policy.

They all want to borrow money to buy one with two ends, and then just wait and receive the money.

People have a herd mentality. When they see everyone trying to buy cattle, they panic and follow suit.

As a result, no one came to recruit workers for the reservoir.

Now there are only three strong laborers and two old women, but this cannot delay the work.

Brother Da Hong and Brother Hong have invited their mother-in-law to see their children, and the two wives can officially come to work.

When the water surface of the reservoir melts, the fish must be fed.

The fish, which have been hungry all winter, are in urgent need of energy.

Last year, Lu Changhua built a simple plank road of more than 30 meters in the water.

This year I made a fish food table.

In fact, it is a round fine sieve, fixed in the water at the end of the plank road, and enters the water for more than thirty centimeters.

In order to cultivate the fish's habit, tap the food table to make a banging sound every time before feeding the fish.

Then put the fish food on the fish food table.

In the first two days, only a few fish came to eat. After a few days, more and more fish came to eat.

See this method worked.

Lu Changhua asked them to build a plank road on the east side of the reservoir, extending more than thirty meters into the water, and build a fish feeding platform here.

When it's time to feed the fish, tap both sides at the same time to make a sound to attract more fish to eat.

Taking advantage of the fact that the water level in the North Reservoir was not high, three plank roads were built on the east and west sides, and a total of six fish feeding platforms were built.

Just wait for the fish to be released from Nanku in a while.

Lao Lu called.

It was Lu Changhua who picked it up.

"Changhua, the transformation has begun. Send your mother here."

Lao Lu guarded Xing Wenbin in Beining and transformed the warehouse into a dormitory.

At the end of March, the department store handed over all its warehouses to Lao Lu.

In the past two days, Xing Wenbin has entered the market with materials.

Cars of steel, cement, sand and red bricks were transported into the cargo yard.

Fortunately, there is a big square here, otherwise I would not be able to turn around.

Mother Lu was leaving, so the cooking fell on the two young daughters-in-law.

I bought grain and oil and started cooking in the duty room.

Originally, Lu Changhua wanted to let Aunt Hu take care of it, but now he has two young wives, so he just let them do it.

In fact, no matter who does this job, it can't be done in vain. It is better for them to do it.

The work on the reservoir has been arranged, and the Lu family is now empty.

Except for some pork in the warehouse, there wasn't much else.

What can be transported to the reservoir has basically been transported.

For example, last year's grass seeds were all shipped away.

Lao Pan took Hu Dagui and others to surround the barrier.

Digging holes, burying iron pillars, nailing boards, and tying crossbars were all tasks they did after feeding the fish.

Just after the Qingming Festival, Lao Lu sent Lu Changhua and Mother Lu to the intersection early in the morning.

The two of them also brought their luggage, a change of clothes, and several large bags with them.

It was just dawn when they arrived at the intersection.

This time they brought more things, so they left earlier.

After Lao Lu left, the couple waited at the intersection.

Not many people went to Bac Ninh today.

There is a seat for everyone in the car.

The driver was very polite when he saw it was Lu Changhua.

Help put all the luggage on the roof of the car and secure it with net bags.

The couple sat in the back.

Mother Lu rarely goes out, so she was a little nervous along the way.

Lu Changhua comforted him: "Mom, don't be nervous, it's just like at home. Besides, my dad is here."

"Uh-huh."

Mom promised, but the pale fingers grabbing the back of the front seat revealed that she was still nervous.

After driving for more than an hour, we finally entered the city.

Mom looked at the buildings and pedestrians flashing through the car window, feeling very curious.

She has been wondering, where did so many people come from? Are they all here to do what?!

At the intersection of Liudao Street, the driver stepped on the brakes.

Lu Changhua took his mother's hand and got out of the car.

The driver climbed onto the roof of the car and handed some of their luggage down.

While I was busy, my father came over.

"You guys are here?!"

"Ah, Dad."

"Why are you here?"

Mom complained.

"I thought I would go have breakfast for a while."

Dad said cheerfully.

The two men carried their luggage, and their mother followed behind. The three of them crossed the street, passed through the First Department Store, and entered the gate of the goods yard.

The scene was very lively.

Dozens of workers are working on the project.

The on-site concrete mixer rumbles.

The three of them crossed the square and arrived at the door of warehouse No. 6.

One door of the warehouse was open and the other was closed.

A red brick wall is exposed inside.

An old wooden door with a lock.

There is also a nearly two-meter glass window on the brick wall.

Dad put down his luggage, took out the key and opened the lock.

"Just finished it, it's still a little damp."

Dad opened the door.

A heat wave came over the place.

The three of them carried their luggage in.

The room is very big.

The layout inside is very simple, with a low wall separating the fire pit and the stove.

There are quilts on the kang.

Mom got on the kang, unpacked her luggage, and spread the bedding again.

The old couple discussed buying some bowls, chopsticks and pans.

"Mom and Dad, I'm going with you too."

"Let's go, there are all these vegetable markets."

When the three of them went out, they dug in behind the Red Flag Hotel.

There is a vegetable market there.

Mom and dad were discussing the purchase in front, while Lu Changhua followed behind carrying things.

Several people came to the place to buy groceries.

The price of warm dishes has dropped a lot now.

But Mother Lu still couldn't bear to eat it.

At Lu Changhua's insistence, I bought some potatoes and Chinese cabbage.

I bought some pork belly.

In my mother's opinion, this is already considered a luxury.

When I got home, my father said, "You can wash the vegetables at home, and Changhua and I will buy kitchen knives and cutting boards."

"Why didn't you buy it just now?"

"There are so many things that I can't carry them."

Dad took Lu Changhua on another trip.

The two of them searched the market for a long time before Lao Lu picked a kitchen knife that he liked.

Come back and wash the cutting board and knives.

Dad does the cutting himself, removes the leaves from the cabbage and leaves it in the chop, cuts it with a knife, cuts the cabbage into thin slices with a knife, and puts it on a plate for later use.

Shred potatoes.

Blanch the pork belly in boiling water for five minutes, slice into pieces and set aside.

Stir-fry the meat slices in hot oil, add the chopped green onions, stir-fry until fragrant, and remove from the pan.

Stir-fry shredded potatoes in hot oil until half cooked, add the fried meat slices to the pan, stir-fry together for two minutes, and remove from the pan.

This plate of shredded potatoes and skewered meat is ready for stir-fry.

This stir-frying method is not authentic, it is just the Lu family's own stir-frying method, but it tastes pretty good.

Lao Lu fried another cabbage with vinegar.

The remaining cabbage leaves are naturally made into soup.

The three of them sat around the table, enjoying two dishes and one soup, and the aroma filled the room.

"Mom and Dad, I will have to worry about the fish village from now on. I can only focus on taking care of the reservoir."

"It's okay, I can do it."

My parents were happy today and even had a drink.

"Today is April 6th. My eldest brother is getting married on May 1st. They are coming to buy things. I will leave some money. When they come, you can accompany them if you have time. If you don't have time, just give them money."

"It's better to give them money directly and let them buy whatever they want, so as not to complain later."

"I think Changhua is right. Giving money will save you trouble, so you don't have to follow them."

The mother stood by her younger son.

"How much is appropriate?"

Dad frowned.

Some time ago, Lao Lu met Director Han in Beining, and the two chatted for a long time.

Only then did Lao Lu know that Director Han was sending the girl to the train.

It was rare for Lao Lu to see his old leader, so he invited Director Han to come to the restaurant.

Both of them were very happy and drank to their heart's content.

Director Han then tactfully mentioned that Lao Lu’s in-laws were the eldest son’s father-in-law.

Only then did he fully understand that his in-laws were the top leaders of the farm.

Lao Lu couldn't believe that Director Han used party spirit as a guarantee that what he said was true.

This incident confused Lao Lu for several days.

It made him feel in his heart that his eldest son was getting further and further away from him, and that he had raised this son in vain.

When it comes to children getting married, buying wedding supplies is a huge expense.

In fact, he also knows that giving a sum of money is the easiest thing to worry about.

But if you worry, you have to spend money.

How much is appropriate is a big question.

If you give too much, you don’t have that much.

If the payment is less, the daughter-in-law and the whole family will laugh, and then the eldest son will have a hard time.

"Mom and Dad, I told my eldest brother that I would give him a motorcycle when he got married."

Lu Changhua brought up this topic.

"Later, the eldest brother said that he didn't need it. If he had a motorcycle, someone would always come to borrow it, but he didn't want it."

"I thought, since he doesn't want a motorcycle, I might as well give him the money and let him buy whatever he wants to avoid any disappointment."

"Ah? How much is that?"

"More than two thousand."

For a moment, both parents were silent.

More than two thousand is a big number in their eyes.

It cannot be said to be an astronomical figure now.

This hotel costs only 15,000 yuan including leasing and renovation.

The chili peppers he ordered cost more than a thousand.

"I think we should give it three thousand. This is a major event in my life. Let's not let anyone find fault."

"This is three thousand, and the bride price is two thousand, so this is five thousand. Isn't the burden on our family too heavy? We still have to open a restaurant, and you have to raise fish. Can you transfer it?!"

Mother Lu had a sad look on her face.

"Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on."

When Lu Changhua left, he not only left the three thousand yuan for his eldest brother, but also the decoration money.

I left several thousand yuan of working capital for my father.

They agreed that for Brother Wu's wedding, Lu Changhua would go directly from Sanfenjian, and his parents would go from Beining.

Everyone meets in the field department.

As for the wedding banquet, let the eldest brother discuss it with his father. These days, the wedding banquet is usually paid for with the gift money. If it is not enough, let’s talk about it.

Now Lao Lu and his wife are much more courageous.

After the meal, the family of three took a walk in the courtyard. Lao Lu explained the layout of the place to Lu's mother one by one.

But how could Mother Lu know this? She had no concept at all and was talking like a chicken and a duck.

But Lu Changhua said: "Mom, look around, these, these, and these, including the ground, all belong to our family!"

"Ah?! You're talking nonsense!" Mother Lu couldn't believe it.

"Are you two lying to me? These belong to our family? Why do I not believe it so much? How much does this cost?!"

Mother Lu muttered as she watched.

She doesn’t believe her son’s lies!

Since when did Lao Lu become so awesome?

This is next to the No. 1 Department Store in Beining. It has a large courtyard with several thousand square meters and more than 20 houses! You think these all belong to our family? What a liar!
