The eldest grandson Chong accompanied Li Chengqian in the hot spring village for rehabilitation, and took him out for a walk every day, looking at the pastoral scenery, seeing that it was almost autumn, and the rice in the field was heavy, just waiting for the autumn wind to blow, yellow ears of wheat, and harvest home.

In the fields, from time to time, there are hearty whispers of the people, these happy whispers seem to be heartfelt sounds, and the dark and wrinkled faces make people always laugh a little better.

"Big cousin, you see that these people are very happy." Li Chengqian said with a smile and pointed to the busy people not far away.

Back then, Li Chengqian and Qin Yanhong witnessed the tragic situation of the people when the famine occurred, and they were skinny, and I heard that in some places, there was also the phenomenon of cannibalism.

Compared with the tragic situation back then, the hearty smiles of the people now make people feel more comfortable.

The eldest grandson Chong smiled and said, "If it is happiness or not, you can ask them in person." It is rare that Li Chengqian can still treat ordinary people with a normal heart and care about whether the people are happy.

"That's right! Let's go, big cousin, let's talk to an old farmer today. Li Chengqian did not make a wheelchair, but used crutches, so that he could also exercise during his walk.

Because of the distraction, the pain is not unbearable, so every afternoon, after class, I will follow my eldest cousin out for a walk.

Not far away, an old farmer sat on the ridge of the field and drank water, happily watching the splash of water in the field from time to time.

"Uncle, is this your family's field? This rice grows well, and you know at a glance that you are a seasoned crop veteran! Li Chengqian came up and chatted with the old farmer.

"Haha, Childe is right, Xiao Lao'er has been growing food for decades, and I can grow any crop. My family's rice is the best grown in the village. Little Lao'er lived to be fifty years old. That is, in the past three years, he has lived a fairy-like life. There is food to eat, money to spend, and everyone in the family is safe, if it was before, I wouldn't even dare to think about it! The little old man smiled and chatted with Li Chengqian.

In the past, the people didn't dare to talk in front of some well-dressed people, but now it's different, even if you are well-dressed, if you dare to oppress the people, they will go to the county government to complain. There is a county magistrate who calls the shots.

The days are better, the taxes are less, and there is no longer that heavy feeling on the shoulders.

"Whoa!" There was a splash in the water in the rice paddies, but it didn't seem to be caused by frogs.

"Uncle, is there a snake in your field?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.

The old farmer smiled triumphantly. With only a few front teeth left, he said, "Childe is wrong." That's not a snake. It's fish. ”

This Chang Sun Chong was surprised, he raised fish in the rice field, but he didn't expect this old farmer's brain to be so active, the rice field raised fish, the fish ate grass and insects, and the manure taken out could fertilize the land. This is a very successful case of agroecology.

"Uncle, listening to the sound of the bang, you can see that there are a lot of fish in this rice field. How did you come up with the idea of raising fish in rice paddies? Eldest Sun Chong asked.

The old farmer smiled and said, "This is also a coincidence. Last year, a dozen small fish came in my rice field out of nowhere, and I thought it was small, but the rice had grown so big that they couldn't eat the rice seedlings, so I didn't care. But I didn't expect that when the rice was headed, these fish were still there, and they were still grown, and last year's rice did not affect the harvest because of fish farming, but I saw that the rice in the small field with fish grew better than other places, so I paid attention, and this year I caught a lot of fish fry in the rice field and put them in. ”

"Oh, uncle, you're too smart. By the way, uncle, there is a period of time when water is not needed in the middle of the rice, so what about the fish? Li Chengqian has planted rice by the side of Changsun Chong and knows very well about rice cultivation.

The old farmer was happy, but he didn't expect that the children of the rich family also knew how to farm, and it was rare for someone to ask, so he showed off and said: "I dug a long pit in the middle of the field, even if there is no water in the field, there will be water in the pit, and the fish will not die because of lack of water." ”

"Oh, I see!" Li Chengqian suddenly realized, gave a thumbs up, and praised it.

"Hehe, after this season's observation, Xiao Lao'er understands that these fish eat grass and insects in the field, and the excreted feces can fertilize the field. This is the same as the silt in the fish pond can fertilize the field, so my family's rice field can at least 10% more rice than other families. Now with the addition of fresh fish, our family will earn more than ten or twenty taels of silver this year! "The old farmer is very proud, the fish are not easy to feed, they are all fishermen from the river, it is very rare, he raises a lot of fish in these acres of land.

Originally, the family had ten acres of land and only raised half of the rice field fish, so I was worried that if I failed, I would not go hungry.

"Hehe, you are old and gone first this year, and everyone will follow suit next year." Li Chengqian said appreciatively.

"Learn to learn, they are all from the township, everyone raises some fish, you can also have more income, even if you can't buy much money, isn't there still fish, eat at home, can't eat it with salt, you can eat it for a long time!" The old man is very cheerful and does not hide his selfishness.

Li Chengqian's eyes rolled and said, "Uncle, you are so kind, and you have also figured out a way to raise fish in the rice field." You tell me carefully, I'll send it to the county government for you, so that the county lord can see your merits, and I can also give you some rewards! ”

The old man hurriedly shook his head and said, "Childe doesn't know, the little old man can't read and write!" ”

"You say, we write. Once verified, even if you don't give you a reward, it will give you the reputation of a good house! Li Chengqian said with a smile, thinking that this old man was very interesting.

The old man smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you a little bit more."

Li Chengqian wrote it down and asked, "I understand everything, your surname?" Where do you live? ”

"My name is Li Dahai, the head of the family, Peach Blossom Village!" The old man replied, whether it succeeds or not, he should be idle and bored, and chatter.

"Okay, uncle, you can wait for news at home! But this fish, you still have to wait a few days to catch it, and you can let the county order really check it. Changsun Chong reminded.

"I still have to be able to release water now!" The old man replied.

After going back, Li Chengqian wrote an excerpt on fish farming in paddy fields and asked Huo Qiang to present it.

When Li Er saw it, he was very curious, and when it came to the day of Hugh Mu, he brought the courtiers over to take a look, what was going on? If it is true, then the homes of the people with paddy fields are estimated to be able to go to the next level.

Li Er took his henchmen to the rice field of Li Laohan's house to take a look, and really saw the scene of fish beating in the rice field, he squatted on the ground, and caught a carp the size of a palm!

Li Laohan was taking his sons to put water in the rice field, and at the mouth, he made fishing nets to prevent the fish from running out, and saw someone coming to bow his head, dressed extraordinarily, and saw Li Chengqian, who was following behind with a cane, was the young man who chatted with him that day.

Oh, so many people came today, could it really be that the county magistrate came to see his family's rice field and fish farming, and hurriedly handed over the basin in his hand to his son and hurriedly walked over.

"Childe, you're here again, you were in a hurry that day, and you didn't have time to catch a few fish for you, today we are catching fish to sell, I'll give you a few to taste." Li Laohan smiled so hard that his fangs were gone.

"Thank you, uncle, how many fish can you collect in this field?" Li Chengqian asked.

Li Laohan replied truthfully: "I have 500 fish fry in one acre of land in this field, and I am afraid that I will not be able to feed them." ”

"Then how many acres of fish do you raise in this rice field?"

"Five acres!" Li Laohan rubbed his hands, "Actually, at the beginning, I was worried that if it didn't work, the rice would also be harmed, and I would be hungry at that time, so I kept half of it and got half of it." Fortunately, God has eyes, rice grows well, and fish grow fat. ”

"Okay, the county magistrate has received the document I wrote for you, and I specially sent someone to take a look." Li Chengqian said that with his father's character, he would definitely reward this person.

When Li Laohan heard this, he quickly knelt down and said, "Meet the adults, the little old man is also a blind cat and met a dead mouse, and it was a coincidence." ”

"Hehe, others have encountered it before, but they are not as bold and careful as you, and they also volunteer to share the breeding technology of rice field fish with others, which is good." Li Er said in a deep voice, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Laohan up, "We saw it with our own eyes, and when we go back, we will definitely return to the county commander truthfully!" Wait at home, O you, and the reward will come in a few days. By the time of next year, you will have to worry a lot about the promotion technology of this paddy field fish. ”

Li Laohan stood up tremblingly, and vigorously promised that he would not hide his selfishness.

Before leaving, he also asked his son to catch half a bucket of fish and bring it back to eat. However, Li Er didn't want to take advantage of the people, so Changsun Chong hurriedly took out five taels of silver from his arms and stuffed it to Li Laohan.

When I went to Zhuangzi, just in time for lunch, Changsun Chong asked people to make braised crucian carp, sweet and sour crucian carp.

A group of old guys went to a hot spring and drank wine, and their lives were really comfortable.

Li Er was relieved of the arrangement of the eldest grandson, and was even more pleased that his son could still care about farming and discover the method of raising fish in the rice field during the period of recuperation. If it is tested next year and is successful, then it can be promoted! At that time, it will benefit one-third of the people.

"Cheng Qian, how is the recent rehabilitation progress?" Li Er looked at Li Chengqian lovingly.

Li Chengqian threw away his crutches in front of everyone, endured the pain, and walked ten steps like a normal person. Although I walked very steadily, my feet were really painful, and it hurt so much.

However, seeing that his son was able to stand up again and be able to walk, Li Er was very happy.

"Good, good! Cheng Qian has worked hard, don't put too much pressure on yourself, your eldest cousin also said that you have to persevere for a whole year to fully recover. Li Er was worried that Li Chengqian would be in a hurry and would not be able to reach it quickly.

"Father, Cheng Qian knows, and my eldest cousin often reminds me." Li Chengqian said with a smile that he could not recover to the current situation without the encouragement and efforts of his eldest cousin. (To be continued......)
