Chapter 449: Fish Everywhere
I thought that affected by the heavy snowfall, there should not be many tourists to Liujiagou for the New Year this year, who knows that the situation is the opposite, just a few days after entering the lunar month, the farmhouse in the village was booked for most of it.
Looking at this situation, it is even more popular than in previous years.
Liu Junhao was puzzled, and when he asked someone, he learned that most people had the idea of going to Liujiagou for the New Year to enjoy the snow. Building snowmen and having snowball fights, games that people used to play as children are now a luxury in the city. In previous years, as soon as the snow fell, several snow plows in the urban area were all dispatched, and the snow was cleared in half a day, not giving everyone a chance to be nostalgic at all. This year, the snow is quite heavy, but the city is full of waste water and waste gas, which pollutes the snow and dirty, and many people can only sigh at the snow and prohibit their children from playing.
These days, tourists are taking pictures of snow scenes on the mountain, and then uploading them to the eighteenth floor. After reading these posts, many parents have risen to the idea of celebrating the New Year in Liujiagou.
Many tourists who came wanted to buy yellow eels at Liu Junhao's house, but they were all rejected by him. Now the climate is cold, most of the yellow eels are still in the hole, if you want to catch the yellow eel, you have to dig a hole, you don't have so much energy.
Besides, it's been a busy year, so it's good to take a break during the New Year. The most important job now is to serve the daughter-in-law well.
This year, Liu Junhao and his family were originally scheduled to go to the city to celebrate the New Year with Zhang's mother, but after Zhang Qian went to the hospital for an examination, Zhang's mother was afraid that her daughter would have an accident back and forth, so she discussed it with Zhang's father, and she was still in Liujiagou this year.
In fact, this fetal examination has been planned for a long time, but the last time Liu Junhao took his daughter-in-law to the hospital, he was stopped by a familiar doctor, saying that it is not good for the fetus to do B ultrasound examination too early and too often, and it is enough to go to the hospital for an examination when it is more than five months.
So the matter was delayed, and then the heavy snow closed the mountain, and the two dragged it out again and again, until two days ago they went to the hospital for an examination.
As a result, he was told that his daughter-in-law was pregnant with twins, and Liu Junhao, who was happy, couldn't close his mouth.
Both of them hope that it will be a dragon and phoenix fetus, so that they will have all their daughters and sons, and they will save trouble in one step.
In order to give the upcoming little guy a loud and beautiful name, Liu Junhao almost broke the "Xinhua Dictionary" at home, and finally found a few names to spare, but unfortunately it is useless now, and he must start again.
Originally, he wanted to post an online inquiry and brainstorm ideas. However, after reading the results of a netizen surnamed Wang asking on the Internet, what Maggie Wang, Wang Ziyi, Wang Wangwang, Wang Xiaoer, Wang Erxiao, etc., make people laugh.
Liu Junhao could only sigh that there were many crooked talents on the Internet, and decisively dispelled this idea. It's better to name yourself and don't accept foreign aid.
Anyway, there are still a few months left, and I won't even be able to come up with a bad name.
The snow on the road to the school cleared early, but there was still a lot of ice on the side of the road. In the past few days, the school has resumed classes, Liu Junhao is afraid that his daughter-in-law will fall, so he plans to teach his daughter-in-law for half a month. I have taught my daughter-in-law before, and he also knows the texts, so he can do this work for him.
Who knew that Zhang Qian didn't let it at all, and even said that the exam was about to take place, it was the sprint stage, and she stayed at home and didn't feel at ease.
In the end, the two could only adopt a compromise plan, Liu Junhao sent his daughter-in-law to school every day, and then picked her up when school was over.
Anyway, it's not a long distance, and I can eat at that time after walking back and forth twice.
In the past few days, the temperature has continued to rise, and the snow in the fields has melted to seven or eight levels, revealing blue-green wheat seedlings, but the snow in many places on the shady side of the mountain is more than one person deep, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to melt by next spring.
The snow caused the water of the mountain stream to soar, and many fish washed down with the water, most of them turned their bellies. These fish are sealed in the ice and frozen to death due to lack of oxygen, although the fish has been frozen in the ice for more than ten days, but the temperature has been below zero, which is equivalent to storing the fish in the refrigerator, which is logically enough to be eaten.
It's just that the live fish can't be eaten, so people naturally don't hesitate to eat these dead fish, at most they stay at the water's edge to find those big fish that are more than two or three catties to catch. Big fish have strong resistance and generally hide in deep water, and very few freeze to death. At this time, the big fish don't seem to wake up, swimming slowly in the water, and it is very easy to catch.
Liu Junhao initially caught a few times, and ate two meals in a row, but the two of them were not interested at all, and hung all the remaining fish under the eaves to dry, planning to wait for Zhang's mother and them to come and eat again.
Waterfowl who have been hungry for several days don't care so much, and when they finally encounter so many fish, they must eat and drink. In recent days, Qingzhuang water ducks, cormorants, etc. have all stretched their necks to stay by the ditch, and their heads have been stretched into the water from time to time. You don't have to move your position at all, you can't fly by eating one by one.
Liu Junhao sent his daughter-in-law to school, and when he came back and saw so many dead fish in the ditch in front of the door, he instinctively felt bad and rushed to the backyard.
Good fellow, he was almost stunned.
Most of the snow in the backyard melted, and the water almost reached the front yard...... This is not the point, the point is that there is a layer of dead fish floating on the white flowers on the water, which is very distressing to watch.
Liu Junhao actually expected this result, and the ditch in the backyard was dug to raise yellow eels. It is generally only forty or fifty centimeters deep, and it freezes early a few days ago, and the chance of the fish surviving in it is very small.
But he didn't expect that the loss would be so big this time, and there was not a single live fish in the ditch, which was very distressing.
It's not a good idea to keep these dead fish in the backyard, you have to catch them up quickly, otherwise they will stink in the next week. Thinking of this, Liu Junhao hurriedly called the old man Zhao next door to come over and help catch the dead fish.
Professor Zhao was also panicked when he saw the scene in the backyard, and hurriedly asked Huang Eel if there was a problem.
"I just dug it a few days ago, and this year's yellow eel drill hole is relatively deep, and there are no frozen to death." Liu Junhao replied.
"It's okay" Hearing that the yellow eel was fine, Professor Zhao finally relieved himself, and then opened his mouth to comfort, "Anyway, these small fish are used as food for the yellow eel, and it doesn't matter if they die." ”
The two of them took the net to catch fish back and forth by the ditch, and they were busy for nearly a morning, and finally cleaned up the dead fish in the ditch.
"Do you want to dig up the ditch and drain the water inside?" Finally, Professor Zhao asked again.
"No, the water is not polluted." Liu Junhao shook his head, turned his head and looked at the pile of dead fish on the shore.
With so many dead fish, I am afraid that there is no other use for feeding the water birds in front of the door, and the key is that those guys are not short of fish to eat now. I really can't do it, dig a pit in the afternoon and bury all these dead fish.
They underestimated the amount of food they could eat, and as soon as the two men threw a basket of dead fish at the edge of the woods, they immediately provoked the waterfowl to grab food. Soon the chickens and pheasants in the yard also joined the army of preymen, and then the whole forest was lively. Magpies, gray mazahs, white-headed small birds and many other birds have thrown themselves into this feast.
Many people think that only birds swim in the water eat fish, but in fact, most birds have the habit of eating fish, provided they can catch fish.
Since knowing that there was a crested ibis in Liujiagou, Liu Junhao has been interested in this legendary big bird, and he always has to take a closer look at the mountain every other day, and photographed a lot of precious birds, but unfortunately he has not even seen a crested ibis feather.
Now there are so many birds by the ditch, Liu Junhao deliberately stood there to check for a while, but still did not see the legendary big bird. Ten have, this thing has completely disappeared in Daqingshan.
There was such a big commotion here, and it was soon known by the tourists in the village, who came over with cameras to take pictures.
Liu Junhao looked at it for a while, and was about to turn around and go back to the yard, but was stopped by the old man: "Xiao Hao, do you see if the water in the big river is rising, how do I feel that the water in this ditch has been rising?" ”
Professor Zhao stood by the wooden bridge for less than an hour and was surprised to find that the water had risen by at least five or six centimeters.
"Normal," Liu Junhao replied after glancing at the duck who was jumping on the ice, "This should be the reason for the melting of the snow in the mountains, even if the water in the big river rises, at most it will reach the edge of the embankment." "The temperature is high in the past two days, and the snow on the sunny side of the mountain has melted, which will naturally cause the water potential of the mountain stream to increase. The downstream sluice has a limited discharge capacity, and it is normal for the water level in the ditch to rise.
Hearing him explain this, Old Man Zhao didn't think much about it, turned around and called Liu Junhao to go back to the courtyard to play chess.
Soon the two found out that things were not so simple, and within half an hour, the water had overflowed the road and poured into the courtyard along the waterway.
This time, Liu Junhao couldn't calm down any longer, and hurriedly carried a shovel to the embankment to check.
Before they reached the embankment, the two were already frightened by the scene ahead, the fields around the embankment were full of water, and many fish were bouncing on the shore.
It wasn't until they saw the sluice on the embankment that they found out why.
In the past two days, it has just thawed, and there are many miscellaneous things such as ice, aquatic plants, branches and dead leaves washed down from the upstream, and I don't know how to block them when I get to the sluice, and finally the water level continues to rise.
Liu Junhao hurriedly ran to the bottom of the river embankment, took a shovel and dug and chopped, trying to dig the sluice. Soon he realized that he had taken it for granted, that the sluice gate was completely blocked, and that there was a steady stream of dead branches and leaves piling up downwards, and that he could not dig them up by himself.
He had to pull out the phone and ask him to call a few people to come and help lift the sluice gate completely.
There are many people with great strength, and it doesn't take much effort, and the sluice gate is completely opened, and the water is flowing in a hurry. After more than half an hour, the water level dropped, and the ground was full of dead fish with white flowers, but everyone was not interested in picking them up.
"Xiao Hao, I'm going to go to the street tomorrow to make sweet potatoes to make vermicelli, do you want to play at home, if you do, put me in the car" On the way back, Er Mazi asked.
"Yes, I'll clean up in the afternoon. I didn't eat much sweet potatoes this year, so I was waiting to make vermicelli. In the autumn of this year, he and Professor Zhao harvested thousands of catties of sweet potatoes, except for some dried sweet potatoes, and the rest were all placed in the well. When it snowed, Professor Zhao was afraid that the sweet potatoes would freeze, so he specially piled a reed stack on the top of the well
