Chapter 28
Lu Xiaoyi has a lot of ideas about fish farming in his head: such as the combination of mulberry-silkworm-fish, rice field fish farming, polyculture and dense culture, rotation fishing and release, etc., all of which are familiar programs of the agricultural channel in the previous life. She excitedly wanted to tell Yutang, her cheeks were getting redder and redder, her throat was itching uncomfortably, and she had an urge not to vomit unpleasantly.
At this time, a cool autumn breeze was blowing, with the chill of the autumn water of the pond, Lu Xiaoyi shivered, slowly calmed down, and suddenly felt that the words he wanted to say were like fish stalks in his throat, and he couldn't say them.
All her knowledge about fish farming comes from a news or a report, and she only hears its name but doesn't know the facts. She had no systematic thinking, no practical experience, and no fish farming, so she really went deep into it, and her mind immediately went blank.
Moreover, you little girl, how do you know so much?
Lu Xiaoyi couldn't answer.
She felt that the impulsive psychology just now was inexplicably ridiculous, and she was underestimating the wisdom of the ancients, whether she admitted it or not, she still had a sense of superiority in her heart, and always felt that she was from the future, and the education she received was the crystallization of human wisdom for thousands of years, and she could think more and see farther.
But in reality? After listening to Yutang's words, Lu Xiaoyi was ashamed of his funny sense of superiority.
I only heard Yutang say with a smile: "Hey, Xiao Yi'er, my uncle told you, carp love to sink to the bottom, grass carp does not slip, and silver carp love water, so it is just right to raise carp grass carp and silver carp in the fish pond, just like we walk, and the road is on one side of the sky." ”
Carp-grass carp-silver carp, isn't this the simplest polyculture? Lu Xiaoyi was extremely ashamed.
Yutang pointed to a withered lotus leaf and said regretfully: "If you come early, you can see the lotus flower in Mantang, pick a lotus leaf and go home, and you can also make lotus leaf porridge." ”
"The mud under this old pond is thick, and when you harvest lotus seeds and lotus root next year, my uncle will make you a lotus root stewed pig's trotters, and you still want to eat it."
Xiao Ding and Chunling both love to eat pig's trotters, licking their lips and looking greedy.
Yutang pointed to the pond base at his feet and said: "Your uncle said that he should carry mulberry trees on both sides, I heard that silkworm cocoons can make money, and it just so happens that your aunt and aunt are fine at home, so let them raise silkworms, raise them for two or three seasons a year, and their income is higher than that of raising pigs." ”
Listen, the mulberry-silkworm has come out, and it is time for the silkworm manure to feed the fish or the deeper silkworm manure biogas biogas residue.
Lu Xiaoyi blushed with shame and listened to his uncle continue to talk about the idea of the fish pond.
Xiao Ding listened with envy, "Uncle, it's good that my family can raise fish, but unfortunately there is no fish pond." ”
Lu Xiaoyi was afraid that her uncle would talk about raising fish in the rice field again, and shattered the remaining sense of superiority in her heart, and blurted out suddenly, "Let's raise it in the rice field!" ”
Chunyun laughed a few times, "How can there be fish in the rice fields, when the rice fields are dry in the dry season, the fish will not die." ”
Lu Xiaoyi argued according to reason, as if he was angry, "Why can't you raise it, dig a deep ditch in the rice ridge to store water, and tamp the foundation of the field, as long as there is no leakage at ordinary times, the flood season is not flooded, and the fish can be raised without running out." ”
Lu Xiaoyi also knows a little bit about the technology, and she really can't say why she really has a reason for the technology of fish farming in rice fields, because she has only heard of it and has never raised it.
Yutang's eyes lit up when he listened, and his white teeth shone with a smile, "Okay, Xiao Yi'er, my uncle is worried about the future, your idea is good, wait until next spring to raise seedlings, and then my uncle will figure it out, and I really want to become my uncle's part for you." ”
The more Yutang thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and he didn't want to stay in the fish pond anymore, so he took the little girls home, and when his three brothers came back, they would discuss the matter of raising fish in the rice field.
Back at Wang's house, Mrs. Wang was already eating in Zhangluo, and several cousins took Xiao Geng to play horseback riding and fighting under the grape trellis.
Yutang is more than 20 people, watching the boys play energetically and greedy, joining in and immediately besieged, Yutang jumped to the side, picked up a few fallen insect pears on the ground, and threw up the darts, the posture was good, but he couldn't bear to start, frequently missed the target, and was chased around by a few boys.
Old man Wang, who came back from walking, entered the door and saw the chickens and dogs jumping all over the yard, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at his eyes, "It's not big, it's not small." As soon as the words fell, a peach-sized insect pear flew in, was dodged by Chunsheng, and unfortunately hit the shoulder of the old man Wang.
Suddenly, a majestic roar sounded in the courtyard, "Wang Yutang, you wait for me!" Old man Wang picked up a long flat pole casually, and Yutang was so frightened that he hugged his head and ran away.
The little boys laughed, the old man Wang immediately commanded his grandchildren to intercept Yutang, Yutang was forced to a dead end, jumped on the wall, very proud, the old man Wang was angry, pointed at Yutang and threatened, to no avail, so he sat on the small bench on the side to rest.
Lu Xiaoyi held back a smile, exchanged glances with his cousins, and decided to stay away from the battlefield so as not to suffer from the disaster of pond fish.
When the other three uncles came back, Lu Xiaoyi felt that his eardrums were about to burst, and they all had loud voices.
Uncle Wang Yujin is burly and strong, and Lu Xiaoyi is like a little chicken, and when she is a child, she threw a high volley in the air, and said with a smile: "Look, just growing up doesn't grow meat, and it's not as heavy as your little cousin." ”
Lu Xiaoyi stood dizzily, followed by Xiao Ding and Xiao Geng, who were thrown back and forth a few times by their uncle.
Then the second and third uncles continued to throw them, and the dizziness never stopped.
The eldest aunt happened to come out to shout for dinner, and blamed Wang Yujin and said, "Is there an uncle like you?" Xiaoyi and Xiaoding are all big girls, what's the matter of throwing them around! ”
Wang Yujin grinned, and his big voice couldn't be closed, "Who dares to say anything?" Can't spare him! ”
The eldest aunt glanced at her hatefully, and pulled Xiao Yi Xiaoding aside, "Your uncle is now like a mountain bandit, speaking ruthlessly, don't be afraid!" ”
"What bandits? A kind mountain bandit like me? You mother-in-law really has long hair and short knowledge! Wang Yujin was dissatisfied, and then beckoned the second and third children to go to the dining hall.
Mrs. Wang came from the backyard and complained, "Shut up, you guys! If you say something at home, the whole village will hear it, and my head will be knocked out by you. ”
Lu Xiaoyi felt the same way, and followed his cousins into the dining hall in a daze, and the food was already set on the three square tables.
The men drank and ate slowly, the children went out to play after eating, and the women packed up and gathered in the hall to chat.
By the time the men finished their meal, it was not too early, and Magnolia was about to get up and go home.
Mrs. Wang's eyes were red, and she complained: "Every time I come back, I am in a hurry, and I have to rush back before my ass is hot." ”
Yulan also red-eyed, "Mother, there are pigs and chickens at home, and they can't do without people, and when the pigs are sold at the end of the year, I will bring the children back to live for a few more days." ”
Lu Xiaoyi felt uncomfortable too, she took Mrs. Wang's hand and comforted: "Grandmother, we have a donkey cart at home, and my mother will take us back to see you often." ”
"Grandmother, I can't bear you." Xiao Geng hugged the legs of the princess and was coquettish.
Several aunts also had red eyes, and the uncle's loud voice came from the house, "It's not like we've seen each other for ten years, I really can't get used to you women, you don't chirp, just don't let you go." ”
"I'm too lazy to tell you, I don't know what to do!" Mrs. Wang wiped her eyes and said fiercely into the house.
Lu Zhong had already driven the donkey cart, and Mrs. Wang was carrying some melons, fruits and vegetables back, but Yulan couldn't refuse, so she had to move into the car with red eyes.
Squeaky and dumb, swaying and wandering, Lu Xiaoyi watched the figures of his grandmother, aunt and cousin slowly become smaller, until the road turned and disappeared behind a bush, and then he looked back at her mother abruptly.
Yulan's eyes were red, her nose was not smooth, she couldn't hide her discomfort when she sucked and sucked, and when she saw Xiao Yi looking at her, she raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, and smiled reluctantly: "Did you have fun today?" ”
Lu Xiaoyi nodded, Xiao Geng chattered endlessly and began to talk to Yulan about riding a horse and fighting, Xiao Ding closed his mouth tightly, looking like he was motion sick.
Halfway through, Xiao Ding vomited all the belly he had eaten at noon, his face was pale, Yulan took Xiao Ding in her arms in distress and asked Xiao Yi to take care of Xiao Geng.
Back in Xiaxi Village, the sun was already beating at the foot of the mountain in the west, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, Lu Xiaoyi jumped out of the carriage, still feeling that his body was swaying, poor Xiaoding was carried into the house by Yulan and put on the kang, so he was busy boiling sugar water for her.
Lu Zhong moved a basket of melons and fruits to the old man Lu in the West Courtyard, and he didn't have time to talk more, so he hurried home to fetch water to feed the pigs and chickens.
Yulan boiled some gruel, steamed a bowl of egg custard for Xiao Ding to eat, and let Xiao Ding Xiaogeng go to bed early after cleaning up, Lu Xiaoyi was not sleepy, he had to stick to Yulan, and he also wanted to know about borrowing money.
Returning to her mother's house, Yulan felt a little more sad in her heart, her interest was not high, and she spoke in a light tone, "After lunch today, I have a family meal with my mother and sister-in-law, this time I spent most of the family's savings to buy fish fry in the fish pond, and the whole family has to eat and drink, and the nephews and nieces are also older, and I have to worry about their family affairs, and I don't want to mention borrowing money." ”
Lu Zhong was already prepared, "Forget it, don't buy any horses, let's wait until this time lasts!" If I can't hold on, I'll go to the city to find odd jobs again, anything! ”
Lu Xiaoyi reminded again: "Dad, the five taels of silver are added, the money is dead and the people are alive, let's buy a good horse and get a good car, with the same money, who wants to take the bumpy donkey cart!" Squeeze them out, and the five taels of silver will soon be back. ”
Lu Yongcheng lent ten taels of silver, Lu Zhongxin was ashamed of Xiao Yi, and now when he heard her say that he would use the remaining five taels, his first reaction was to disagree.
Needless to say, Yulan glanced at Xiao Yi and said, "That silver is not coal, you have to take it out to feel at ease?" ”
If the money doesn't turn up, it's dead money, and if you put it there, you won't get a cub, Lu Xiaoyi hung his head in frustration, the concept of consumption is different! What a headache.
Lu Xiaoyi really wanted to say that she was not lame, she was pretending, but according to her father's temperament, knowing that she was not lame, she must return the Shen family's ten taels of silver. She just wanted to pretend to be lame to avoid the Shen family's relatives, who would have thought that Old Man Lu asked for ten taels of silver in compensation, and she wanted to do something with these ten taels of silver, but now it's okay, the ten taels of silver are gone, and the lame has to continue to pretend.
"Mother, the Shen family only paid ten taels at the beginning, and the other five taels were the medical expenses paid by our family, which was our family's money, not the Shen family's accompaniment to me."
"That's not good, the five taels are also yours."
The family also wants to divide you and me, it is all her fake lame leg that causes trouble, Lu Xiaoyi thought about it, and had a flash of inspiration, "Otherwise, I will lend these five taels to my father, and my father will pay me back when he earns money in the future." ”
Yulan pursed her lips tightly and was about to speak, when Lu Zhong made a final decision, "Okay, the child said so, then even if I borrowed it, I will make money in the future, and I will pay her back ten taels!" ”
Yulan was angry, "You take a knife to grab it, how can it be so easy!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi smiled and rounded, "Okay, okay, I earned an extra five taels." ”
Lu Zhong scratched his head, "Why don't you believe me?" ”
"I believe in Dad!"
"Don't go to sleep yet, people are small and big, and you have to participate in everything!" Magnolia shifts the spearhead.
Lu Xiaoyi hurriedly slipped away.
