The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

"Girl Yan, you're here!" Uncle Ding, who was coming ashore to drink water, saw Mo Yan and said hello quickly.

"Uncle Ding, thank you for your hard work. Come and drink this water. It's cold after you've been in the well!" Mo Yan responded with a smile and carried the bucket in his hand.

Uncle Ding was not polite, scooped up a bowl of water and drank it in a gulp. He wiped his mouth and laughed loudly: "The water brought by Yan Yatou is cold and sweet, and has no muddy smell at all."

Mo Yan smiled but didn't answer, and quickly called for others to come over and drink. It's too hot today, and there's no ventilation in the depression. If you don't replenish water, it's easy to get heatstroke.

After hearing this, other people also went ashore one after another and dumped the weeds in their baskets on the ridge of the field. As soon as the sun shines, the weeds will die. When the time comes, it will be thrown into the paddy field and it will also be a good fertilizer.

After drinking water to relieve the heat, Mo Yan asked them to rest before cleaning up. Everyone did not refuse her kindness and sat under the peach tree by the pond to enjoy the cool air.

The peach trees by the pond were planted last year, and they were planted in a circle around the pond. The few peaches currently on the trees have grown to the size of a child's fist, and they will be ripe for picking and eating in another month.

After sitting for a while, Uncle Ding suddenly said: "Girl Yan, it rained heavily the day before yesterday. I came over to fix the ridge and saw that the fish in the pond were about a foot long. They grew so fast. It shows that the pond is suitable for raising fish. Others The fish should be almost grown, I think you can take some time to raise the fish and put in a batch of fry so that they can raise again tomorrow autumn."

The fish fry in the pond were also released last spring. There are all kinds of fish fry obtained from Xiaoqing River. They can grow to a foot long in more than a year because of the Lingquan water.

"One foot long? It has grown so big!" Mo Yan said in surprise. She put the fry in, but she didn't care about it. She didn't expect it to grow so fast: "Okay, I'll buy the fishing net in two days. When he came back, Uncle Ding asked a few people to catch the fish."

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll help you handle it properly." Uncle Ding agreed.

As soon as he finished speaking, others shouted: "Uncle Ding, don't forget me when the time comes. In my hometown, I was a good fisherman. No one in the village can compare with me."

"We all come from the south. Who doesn't know how to fish? I just want to show off wherever you go."

"Are you not convinced? Then let's compete now. How about you catch the fish first when you get into the water?"

"Hmph, let's compete. Who's afraid of you?"

"..."

Uncle Ding was annoyed by the noise from several people and said impatiently: "Don't argue. The water depth and area of ​​this pond are not small. It is not possible for just one or two people to catch fish. When the time comes, all of you will come. Who can catch fish?" If you dare to come, be careful that I will slap you with a shoe board."

When everyone heard this, they all laughed happily and said, "The relationship is good. When the day comes, Uncle Ding, please don't miss me."

Listening to the noise, Mo Yan smiled and did not interrupt. You will never get tired of such a plain and peaceful life for the rest of your life.

…

Mo Yan carried the empty wooden barrel and went around the medicinal fields and orchards. When she saw that the medicinal materials and fruit trees were in good condition, she went home relieved. Halfway there, he met Liu Tinglan who was brought here by Xin'er.

"Why are you here?" Mo Yan asked in surprise.

Since the official engagement of Liu Chen's family a few days ago, this person has been more and more constrained by his family. He is not allowed to go out except for necessary walks, for fear that something will go wrong before the marriage.

Liu Tinglan stepped forward and took her friend's arm, and said with a smile: "I came just because I missed you!"
