195: Fish Pond
The fish caught a few years ago are still raising a lot of small fish in the fish tank at home, and now the conditions at home are better, and Xin'er doesn't want to eat these small fish for the time being, and he is ready to continue raising them without any meat.
It's just that they can't keep it in the water tank all the time, and they can't grow fast if they don't see sunfish, so the two decided to dig a small pool in the ground in front of the door and move those fish out.
Because of the idea, the vegetable plot at home is going to change a little again.
Originally, the two of them were going to take half of the cabbage seedlings out in front of the door and sell them in the county seat when the time came, and the other half would plant some green beans and eggplants, and then some sweet potato seedlings.
It's all been planned, and now it's time to re-plan it.
But in fact, it doesn't matter much, she doesn't plan to dig a big fish pond, just dig a one or two zhang long, and it doesn't take up much space, at most about one point, and the vegetable field at the door has more than three or four points of land, even if it is dug up, there is still a lot left.
Last year, they opened more than two points of land, and the surrounding land is almost more than one acre, except for the land at the door, there are still six or seven points, and it is enough to raise two pigs.
After dividing a piece of land to dig a fish pond, the two began to harvest the field, and the three acres of land at home were also ready to pay for the ox to plow, anyway, it would be done in two days at most, and dozens of dollars could be done.
It's just that they still have to shovel the dead grass in the field by themselves, and it doesn't take much time for the two of them to spend the most time on the ground, and now they need to spend the most time on the vegetable patch and digging the fish pond around their home.
The fish pond, the two of them are not ready to ask for help, it is not a big project, and they are not particularly anxious.
The most important thing is that if more people know about this, it will have to add some trouble, so it is better to dig it yourself when you are tired.
They are not afraid of people knowing, after all, although they live at the end of the village, there are still people who move around, and after a long time, someone will always find out.
They just don't want to cause more trouble, and they don't think it's a big deal at this time, they are digging in their own fields, and they can't get in the way of other people's affairs.
After the New Year, the weather was obviously warmer, and the two of them sowed cabbage seeds, planted vegetables that they wanted to plant, and began to dig fish ponds.
Digging a fish pond is a very laborious task, but fortunately, the two of them didn't want to dig deeper, just more than twice as deep as the paddy field.
Therefore, although it took a lot of time, it didn't take much time, it took almost half a month to dig it, and at this time, the cabbage in the field could also be sold, and the next time the two were busy selling vegetables.
At the same time, they are unwilling to give up the matter of buying piglets and raising pigs, and they can still make a lot of money all year round, and this thing is safer than growing vegetables, if there is an accident in selling vegetables, there will be no problems at home.
Since the fish pond at home was dug up, Xin'er began to release water into the pond, and at the same time strengthened and repaired the pond ridge.
After making sure that the fish pond can be used and there is no problem, Xin'er will pour the small fish in the water tank into the fish pond and raise them.
After another two or three days, I made sure that the fish that were put into the fish pond were alive and did not turn their stomachs before I was truly relieved.
The fish pond is dug in the innermost part of the vegetable field in front of the door, and the ridge is higher than the vegetable field, which can be seen at a glance.
For example, on this day, when a letter came to their house to look for them, he saw it.
"When was this fishpond dug and why did it suddenly appear?"
Youxin hadn't been here for a while, and I was very surprised when I saw the fish pond.
"Some time ago, we dug it ourselves, and we didn't catch fish for a few days a few years ago, and there were a lot of small fish in it, and the small fish didn't have much meat, so we kept it in the water tank, but it was not a matter to keep it in the water tank, so we dug a small fish pond, and when they grew up, maybe they could sell some pocket money.
By the way, are you here for something? ”
Youyi told Youxin about it, and asked him what he meant.
"Oh, that's right, the day of my eldest brother's marriage is set, March 18, my father asked me to come and talk to you, so that you can help when the time comes."
"Okay, why is it set at that time, I was busy with spring planting at that time."
Youyi was also very surprised by this time.
"I don't know, this day was set by my mother after they invited my husband to see it, and it will be almost finished planting by then, and it won't take much time anyway."
Youxin was silent for a while before saying this, since his father didn't let him tell them, then he couldn't tell them on his own.
"Oh, okay, we know, we'll be able to help early."
Since there is no problem, Youyi directly agreed, and the relationship between Brother Youcheng and them is still very good, and he helped to get the water diversion at home.
……
The atmosphere was a little silent for a while, and Youxin sat for a while before preparing to go back.
"Then you guys are busy first, and I'll go back first."
"No, sit down a little longer, it's okay anyway."
Youxin thought about it and agreed, and the three brothers and sisters began to warm up with each other, saying some gossip and asking about the future sister-in-law.
I really don't know much about the future sister-in-law, these things are handled by her mother, and all he knows is that the future sister-in-law is from the neighboring village and was introduced by the matchmaker.
Youcheng is not young this year, he is eighteen years old, and many people of his age are almost married, and some even have children, speaking of which he is still late to get married.
The reason for this is not unrelated to the conditions of their family, not to mention much, there is an old lady at home who needs to take medicine every day, which is already discouraged.
Moreover, the conditions of their family are not particularly good, and they have such a relative.
Although they don't live on their family, people outside don't necessarily think so, two children without fathers and mothers, and grandparents are here, how can they not subsidize them.
In this way, there are really not many people who say they are close to their family, how many years has the Zhang family been searching, so they can say that it is okay, and it is okay to be in a hurry.
I don't know what others think, at least, that's what she thinks now.
It didn't take long for the seedlings at home to be transplanted, and Youyi stopped selling vegetables, and the two of them worked for two days to plant the seedlings.
After planting seedlings and starting to plant corn, this year they are only going to plant one and a half acres of corn, and the remaining half an acre is ready to be used to plant peanuts, the price of peanuts has been good, with the sweetness of selling vegetables, they want to try to plant peanuts and sell them for money.
The peanut seeds were bought back before, and they didn't need to buy them again, they just planted them.
There were only two days left for them to finish planting, and taking advantage of the remaining time, the two carried the family's vegetables to the county seat to sell, and brought back a few ducklings when they came back.
