Chapter Thirty-Seven: Go Down to the River to Catch Fish

After dinner, the four masters went door-to-door to inform them that they would burn the wheat field tonight.

If the wheat has not been harvested in the field, it is easy for the fire to spread and burn the wheat in the field. Therefore, those who harvest first must wait until all the wheat is harvested before they can burn the fields.

The four masters are the team leaders of their team, so they are responsible for notifying Mai Ziquan after he takes them back.

"Dad, didn't you make a rule a few years ago that you are not allowed to burn fields?" Stunned and asked when the four masters left. She still remembers a newspaper report several years ago that farmers burned grass seedlings and planted fertile fields, causing thick smoke to billow, and in broad daylight, they could not see the road when passing on the road, which was easy to cause car accidents.

Dad Xie said: "The above policy says so, but now it is all cut by the harvester, and the wheat stalks are crushed and scattered in the wheat field, and there is no way to get it out, and there is no way to plant rice without burning." ”

Shocked and regretful: "In the past, wheat straw could still be left for burning, but now it is gone." If my mother wanted to make pancakes, she had to go to the woods behind the house to pile up some dead leaves and burn them. ”

Xie's mother took out two straw forks, carried them with Xie's father and went to the field.

Shocked, he quickly grabbed a box of matches and put them in his pocket, and followed his parents to the field with Frostfall.

"Mom, what are you carrying a pitchfork for? Isn't it arson? "I don't understand the fire tools that my parents are carrying.

"This pitchfork will pick up the wheat stalks near the seedling field, otherwise it will burn to the side of the seedling field and roast the rice seedlings to death." Xie Ma explained.

"Some people are lazy and don't pick, and in the end the rice seedlings are roasted to death. How can you grow rice without rice seedlings? I can only beg my father to tell my grandmother to ask other people's families to be even, but how can other people's families know if their rice seedlings are enough if they don't finish planting. Therefore, we can only wait for other people's families to plant the remaining seedlings after planting, so that it will be too late to plant, and it will be too late to return to the seedlings, and the harvest will not be good. Xie Ma taught the two sisters seriously, "So if you are lazy at this time, you will be ruined in one season, isn't this called a big loss because of a small thing." ”

Just when Xie's father and Xie mother slowly lifted all the wheat stalks around the seedling field nearly 5 steps away, the sky also became dark.

There was a fire flickering in the distance, and someone had already set it on fire first.

Dad Xie now picked out a few handfuls of grass from the pile of wheat stalks and tied them together, beckoning to sting in surprise.

Then let the two sisters take the lit straw and light the fire in the wheat field at will, and Xie Dad and Xie Ma set fire around the seedling field.

The fire was shining everywhere in the field, and then a little southeast wind blew, and the fire took advantage of the wind.

By the time the four of them ran onto the road, the fire around them was already very big, and the fire was higher than people in all directions. It was a wall of fire lined up and burning along the wind.

I was shocked to see what kind of movie about burning chibi and the like, it was simply inferior. This kind of wall of fire in all directions is too exciting to visually overcome.

The men stood in the open space chatting and laughing, and the fire that was always on the lookout could not burn the village and not burn the haystacks. His face was red from the firelight, but when he talked about the fact that he was going to start watering the fields and planting seedlings tomorrow, he felt that he had to be full of energy.

The next day.

After breakfast, Xie's father drove a tractor and dragged a water pump to fetch water for watering the fields.

Shocked and strong, he followed to lift the pump and release the water pump, and Shuang Fall and Xie Ma took a small bench to pull out seedlings.

Although they haven't done much farm work, they still have to help when they come back from school occasionally, so they will do this seedling pulling when they are young.

I saw her hands moving, one by one the seedlings swished to pull out to the hands and hold them, when both hands could not hold it, she gathered the seedlings in one hand and grasped it, and the other hand pulled the prepared dry straw and tied it tightly on the seedlings a few times, and a handful of rice seedlings was fine.

When the frost falls, the bundled seedlings are placed in the ditch of the seedling field, and the roots are still in the water, and the seedlings will not be exposed to the sun.

Dad helped Dad lift the pump down and put it in the small river that Dad had dug and leveled yesterday, Dad connected the pump to the tractor's runner with a belt, shook the tractor to drive the pump, and the river water was pumped up and poured in the field.

The wheat fields that had just been burned last night were now dark, and smoke was still rising in some places.

Dad Xie saw that the water from the pump was even, so he took out two small benches from the car body and went to pull the seedlings with the stinger.

Today, not only is the stunned family fetching water, but almost every house is screaming with a tractor, and I can't hear anyone talking.

Along the way, Dad Xie greeted people with a loud voice or a direct gesture.

When he went home for lunch at noon, he was shocked to find that the small river with a low water level had been pumped by every family pump to water the fields, and the water level was plummeting, and it was about to reach the end.

The stingers can see that there are fish swimming inside.

"Dad, Mom, do you think you can catch fish in this river?" Stunned asked.

Frost was also interested, and deliberately walked to the river to see: "Wow, there are so many small fish~~ Sister, let's catch fish in the afternoon." ”

Dad Xie looked at the water level, and then looked at the half-watered land: "It's not good in the afternoon, but when all these fields are watered, the river should be dry, and you can catch fish tomorrow." ”

Soon the day passed.

Frightened even sleeps at night catching fish in his dreams.

The next day, I woke up early and woke up from the frost.

The sisters looked for the old clothes and put them on, and put them on their rain boots. One went out with a long rod and a bucket, and the other with a shovel.

When I came to the small river at the head of the land, I saw that a small river had turned into several small puddles.

In the early morning, the air is just right, and the little fish all stretch their mouths to the surface of the water to breathe, one by one.

The sting first picked a small puddle that was almost at the bottom, and the man went down to the bottom of the river, and when he stepped on it, he fell into the mud.

"Frostfall, get me some grass." The sting took two steps and then fell into it, and it didn't reach the edge of the puddle.

The frost fell on it and looked around for a while, and was so worried: "What about the grass?" Nothing. The night before yesterday there was a fire that burned clean, and you didn't see the leaves of the trees by the river rolled up. ”

I was amazed at the poplar trees in a row by the river, and the leaves on the top of the trees were still green and fresh, and the leaves on the lower part were white and yellow. Even the bark of the trees was blackened.

"Then you can break a few branches and give them to me. Oh~~ The shovel is for you. Stunned handed the shovel in his hand to Frostfall.

When the frost fell, he hooked a few branches on each tree with a shovel, hooked a large handful, and threw them down to sting.

The sting spread the branch next to the puddle, and then the person would not sink when he stood on it. She pulled the shovel that Frost had handed back into the puddle, and several fish jumped out with a thud.

"Sister, the big one is on the side." Frostfall shouted in surprise while grabbing a handful of branches and carrying a net to catch fish. The sting confused the water, and the fish jumped in it, and she picked up the place where there was a lot of movement and used the end of the shovel, and a grass carp the size of a palm jumped on the shovel.

Stunned brought the fish to the mud behind him, "Frostfall, you take down the bucket first, I'll let the fish go." ”

Frostfall had to lay out the branches, throw down the nets, climb the shore and carry the bucket down.

Sting with a shovel, frost with a net, don't look at the small puddle and no big fish. At most, the slap grass carp and the bastard sisters have caught nearly ten, and there are even a bowl of thumb-length small fish.

After catching a small puddle, Xie Dad came when he transferred to the battlefield, he came to see the water in the field, yesterday he had been fetching water until midnight, Xie Dad slept for two hours and went to the field to take a look, and after it was full, the water pump tractor was directly put in the field.

Dad Xie saw his two daughters smeared into mud monkeys, "How many fish have you caught?" ”

Frost fell when she saw Xie Dad, and happily showed off her achievements in catching fish. Carrying the bucket over Dad Xie, he said, "Dad, look, we caught a lot of fish." ”

Stung next to another slightly larger puddle, "Frostfall, I'm afraid this puddle will have to dig a trench to catch fish." ”

Father Xie happened to have a shovel on the tractor and brought it over to help his daughter dig the mud and pile the embankment.

Two or three waves of people came to the river to catch fish, some little dolls and some adults, and when the sting finished catching this puddle, he found that other puddles had been caught.

She and Dad Xie moved the pump to the tractor for Dad Xie to drive home, and then walked along the river with Frostfall, and the puddle was either muddy to indicate that someone had caught a fish, or someone was catching it there. Frostfall can hang an oil bottle on your mouth.

"These people are too fast, really, I haven't caught them yet." Frostfall said unhappily.

Shocked to see that the sun was rising, "Forget it, it's time to go back to breakfast." We've caught a lot of fish. ”

The two of them went home with mud and booty.

Before he reached the gate, Frostfall shouted: "Mom~~Mom~~~ I caught a lot of fish!" ”

Mother Xie greeted the small bucket: "It's really a lot, I just burned it tonight." ”

Mother Xie poured all the fish into a large basin and put water on it to let the fish cross the water. "You two hurry up to wash your hands and face and eat, and you have to change your clothes, and wipe them like mud monkeys."

……

In the evening, Xie's mother put the palm-sized fish and braised the green onions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, and pepper leaves. When the finger-long fish was braised and broken, it was impossible to find it, so it was wrapped in batter, mixed with salt and five-spice powder, and fried in oil.

Eating fried noodles and dragging fish is full of oil, the main thing is that this small fish is fried and crispy, so you don't need to stab it, and you can chew it in your mouth and swallow it.

When Xie Ma was frying, the two greedy ghosts of Surprise and Frost were waiting next to her, and the fish was sandwiched over to eat as soon as it came out of the pot.

"It's so delicious, the fish I eat outside is not as fragrant as this noodle and fish dragged by my mother." Frost falls while eating and patting her mother's ass.

Mother Xie doted on her two daughters eating fragrantly, "There are still in the pot, eat slowly and don't burn." ”

"I feel like I'm in the New Year." Shocked while eating, he said: "We were like this when we fried dumplings during the New Year, and my mother ate them while frying us,"

Frostfall nodded vigorously to indicate that she also felt like this, and she was going back to school tomorrow, and she felt so reluctant to feel this warm feeling in front of her.
