Chapter 240: Digging the Pond
"Cheng girl, why do you still need to plant grass in this fish pond?"
Cheng Yangyang made a plan for two days, including a class, and finally finished the plan for the land that had been demarcated before, and when she showed it to Wang Dafei and them, they didn't understand.
It is normal for grass to grow in the fish pond, and they have to clean it up when there is more grass, but why does Cheng Yangyang still plant grass in the fish pond alone?
"These pieces of land for raising crabs are to be planted with grass, and the grass planted is good for ponds and crabs", the conditions required for crab ponds are relatively special, in addition to water temperature and depth, there are requirements for aquatic plants and algae in the water.
They don't know the requirements for raising crabs, so no one in Shimen Town can raise crabs, and the few small crabs she accidentally got before have to be kept in the space to hang their lives, otherwise they really won't survive.
Hairy crabs are different from river crabs, and if you want to raise them, you have to raise a big one, so it's enjoyable to eat!
"Then where do you get all this grass?" Wang Dafei asked again, they had no problem digging the pond, but they were afraid that if they dug her, she would not find the grass that could raise crabs, so it was not for nothing?
"I have my own way to that grass, and from today onwards, everyone will work hard to help me dig a pond!"
"It's not hard, we've been idle for a long time anyway!" Wang Dafei wished he had a job to do, Wang Dashu was already in charge of the vegetable field, and there was no work on his side.
"Okay, then let's start!" Cheng Yangyang also brought a hoe from home, she naturally has to go, she can't be said to be just saying that she won't do it, otherwise everyone will be unhappy.
This time digging a pond, there are many ponds, but there are fewer people, her other industries have divided most of the people, this time digging the pond, everyone is riveting, but they can't dig a pond in a day.
It is precisely because of this that Cheng Yangyang has to start quickly, and after those wastelands are dug up, they will have to be raised for a while, and only after the ecosystem in the pond is basically established, can the crab seedlings and snails be released.
In addition to digging ponds, a small house was built next to several ponds far from the village, and when the crabs were fat, they had to hire someone to guard them, otherwise they would not know if they were stolen.
In winter, the water in the river may dry up or become shallow, and the pond on the opposite bank will have to be bridged, and there are many things to do, and if she is not ready now, it will be too late to catch crabs in the spring of next year.
The women, who came with the head of the house, also came with sickles to help cut the weeds in the field, so that the men could turn over the ground and pick up the soil.
I have to say that she was always busy before, and she didn't enjoy the scenery of Wangjia Village, the other side of the river is almost another world, although it is deserted, backed by mountains, but the scenery is very good!
Grass, trees, mountains, and rivers intersect and intersect, and strange sounds are heard from time to time on the low hills, but they are not careful to listen to, because the mountains here are clean, not deep mountains.
......
Cheng Yangyang followed everyone to dig the pond for nearly half a month, and everyone's physical strength reached the limit, digging the pond not only to turn over the soil, but also to dig up the stones, otherwise the area of the pond will be much smaller.
The pond has been dug up, but the house and the wooden bridge have not yet been built, so it is not too late to do it after the river becomes smaller in winter.
"Everyone has worked hard, they have been busy for more than half a month, they are all tired!" As soon as the last pond was dug up, everyone sat down on the edge of the pond, and Cheng Yangyang also sat down.
"This work is really tiring!" Wang Dafei didn't hide it, he had lost weight for half a month, could he not be tired!
"It's really hard, let's sit here and rest, Qingqing will bring the silver later, and we'll pay later!"
When she went out today, she had already prepared her salary, and she didn't bring it with her because she had to dig all day today, and it was inconvenient to keep the money around, so she explained to Cheng Qingqing and brought her the money after school.
"We haven't been paid for a long time", everyone heard the salary, and felt inexplicably cordial, they didn't get a long-term life, and only occasionally could they get the salary.
But the last time they got so much pay, it was already the time when Chengjia Department Store opened, and then they occasionally helped a few small favors once or twice, but the money was not much.
Now I've been busy for more than half a month, and I don't know how many there will be this time.
A few people were so tired that they lay on the edge of the pond, their faces flushed as the red sunset shone brightly.
Cheng Yangyang kept looking at the direction that Cheng Qingqing would come from, they were waiting for the pay, and she was also waiting.
After a while, a person came at the corner of the path, who was carrying a cloth bag in his hand, and it didn't seem to be Cheng Qingqing, but ......
South Wind!
Cheng Yangyang saw that the person who came was Nanfeng, she got up and trotted towards him, "Why are you?"
"Qingqing refuses to come, so let this king come and send you something", Nanfeng said with a blushing face and a heartbeat, in fact, he took the initiative to come.
"How could Qingqing refuse to come, you don't talk nonsense", Cheng Yangyang saw through him at a glance.
But whoever sends it is the same, as long as the money is delivered!
She took the bag in Nanfeng's hand and walked to the pond, "Come, the salary is here, everyone get up and share a penny!"
"Ahh
Cheng Yangyang sent them the money for completion, it was already dark, everyone rushed home with the money, and Cheng Yangyang walked last, because Nanfeng was still waiting for her.
"Let's go, go home!"
She walked up to him and said to him with a smile.
"Okay!" Nanfeng replied softly, and the two walked side by side on the country road, slowly walking in the direction of home.
......
"Ah......" Cheng Yangyang, who returned home and took a shower, collapsed on the bed when she returned to the room, she stretched comfortably, "I finally don't have to go out to work as a coolie tomorrow, it's good!"
It's really tiring to dig a pond, every day when she comes home with a sore back, tomorrow she has to rest at home, she doesn't want to go anywhere!
"This king said, you don't have to do it yourself, you have to listen", Nanfeng Yan leaned on the head of the bed early, covered with a quilt and waited for her to return to the room.
"You don't understand", Cheng Yangyang grabbed the corner of the quilt, rolled over, rolled himself in the quilt, came to the boundary of the pillow between the two, and looked at him, "If I don't go in person, they will feel that there is a distance from me, and everyone will not be so comfortable getting along in the future." ”
"When the time comes, they will not treat me as their own person, but treat me as a boss and a proprietor, just like you, they will treat you as a prince and will never be able to get along with you. ”
"This king doesn't need to get along with them, this king just needs to get along with you", said Nanfeng, who took her out of the quilt, let her sleep under the quilt, and covered her.
