239 digging ponds
"Sister-in-law, it's not necessary, right? Moreover, even if someone is working, it is not so easy to bring water over. ”
Li Changqiang actually didn't want to refute, if it was before, he would have done what he said, but after being busy for most of the year, he also knew that his cousin and sister-in-law were very good people.
And he can also see that his cousin and sister-in-law don't know much about growing crops, after all, my cousin has been at the border before, and as for my cousin-in-law, it seems that too?
At least what Li Changhui said was brought back from outside.
Lin He saw Li Changqiang's face embarrassed, and secretly wondered in his heart, is there anything else he hasn't considered?
"Tell me about it, what's the difficulty?"
It's definitely not the reason for the money, the money, even if Li Changqiang doesn't know how many of them there are, but how much money Li Changsheng collects in Malatang every day, he will probably talk about it when he goes home.
If nothing else, there is certainly no shortage of wages.
In the past six months, they often find people to do short-term jobs, and the work is much more than they imagined before, and even Li Changqiang's salary has increased a little.
Is that something else?
Li Changqiang barely thought about it, and said the reason: "Sister-in-law, coming from the other side of the river, there are many other people's fields on the road, and there are only some fields and paths, and there is no way to dig a canal. ”
He often goes there to fetch water, and the situation along the way is even clearer.
"If it's anything else, we can still discuss and find a way, but this, no one will want to let people occupy their own land to dig canals."
Li Changqiang shook his head as he spoke, not just others, even he didn't want to, a little less land, one less food, and one less bite of food at home.
"So that's it." Lin He breathed a sigh of relief: "If it's just this, it's okay, if you give some compensation, or buy the occupied land, it should be okay." ”
I thought that my proposal was very good, but Li Changqiang actually continued to shake his head.
Li Changqiang thought about it and said his own suggestion.
"Sister-in-law, I think it's better to dig a pond directly, and when it is summer, bring the water from the ditch on the mountain, in fact, it's the same."
Lin He was a little surprised: "Is it okay not to divert water from the river?" ”
Li Changqiang nodded and pointed to the hillside in the distance: "On the mountain over there, there is a ditch, which should be left when it rains, there is less rain in winter, and more rain in summer." ”
Seriously, it was the first time for Lin He to see Li Changqiang say so much.
At this moment, I have said more to her than I have said to her in the previous month.
I have to admit that she is still a lot worse when it comes to things in the field.
"That's okay, I really don't know very much, so let's do it, you can help choose a suitable place to dig a pond, it doesn't matter if it's not our own land, it's better to be wasteland, just buy it again after you choose it."
Li Changqiang hurriedly agreed, Lin He explained a few more words, and then took the child home first.
Li Yu happened to be tired of reading, so he came over to help fetch water and wash vegetables, and listened to Lin He talk about digging the pond, and even volunteered to help dig the pond.
Lin He laughed: "You don't study well, how can you think of going to work, digging a pond is not an easy job, very tired." ”
Li Yu said: "I know, I just want to help, I don't have anything to do at home all day, and I still have a month to go to school next year." ”
Lin He thought about it, indeed, they are not in the village now, and they did not grow up in the town since they were children, and they have been in the academy for half a year, and they have no other friends except their classmates.
It's a bit boring to be at home every day.
"That's okay, when your cousin looks at the place and finds a good person, you can help when you're fine, but you can't overwork, the children's family, don't hurt your body, you won't grow tall."
Li Yu took it down carefully, and when he washed the dishes, he went to help boil the water, Lin He sighed in his heart, Li Changhui's example is really good.
Regardless of whether the children in the family are his, they all learn Li Changhui's behavior, do everything himself, be patient, not irritable, and don't like to be idle.
By the time Li Changhui came back, Lin He was already ready to kill the fish.
"So much?" Lin He was surprised to see Li Changhui put down the back basket, and the back basket was full: "In this winter, where did you get so much prey." ”
In addition to the common pheasants and hares, how many porcupines, two civets, and even two geese?
"Doesn't this wild goose migrate? Why are there geese in winter? ”
It was still quite cold in their place, and she remembered that in autumn, she saw geese flying in the sky.
"It is estimated that it was left behind, and I have encountered it before, some geese are greedy for fun, and they forgot to follow it, and after being left behind, they can't find the direction to go back."
Li Changhui sorted the prey and placed it on the ground, let the wives and children at home look at it slowly, and he took a clean cloth towel.
First wiped the blood stains on the arrows, then took an abrasive cloth to polish the arrows finely, and then wiped them evenly with gauze dipped in special ointment.
He cherishes his bow and arrows very much, and every time he uses them, he will carefully clean and maintain them, so that they can be used directly next time and can be kept for a longer time.
"Brother Hui, I'll leave a rabbit and a pheasant to eat tomorrow, and then make some air-dried chicken, well, the wild goose will also keep one, and sell the rest to the restaurant, our family can't eat so much."
Lin He picked out what he wanted to keep, stew a pheasant, a wild goose, burn a rabbit tomorrow, and fry some other meat and vegetables, basically it's almost the same.
Li Changhui did not refuse: "Okay, I'll send it to Shopkeeper Liu in a while." ”
The one who cooperated with them the most this year was the shopkeeper Liu of Fulin Restaurant, and half of the previous taro was sold to him.
Of course, the other half, the grocery store collected some and sold some to the villagers as seeds, and they kept some for themselves.
After Lin He separated the prey he needed, he asked Li Yu to continue boiling water, ten pheasants to make air-dried chickens, plus what he would eat tomorrow, it was a lot.
"By the way, Brother Hui, I'm going to find Changqiang in the afternoon, let him help find a few people, I want to dig a pond."
"It's okay, it's convenient to water in the future, but I plan to buy some paddy fields after the year, and I always feel that the food I grow is more delicious."
Since the grain in their fields was harvested, they have not eaten the food they bought outside.
In the past, Li Changhui was still a little puzzled, why did Lin He keep all the food at home, even selling grain to pay taxes, he just felt strange and didn't ask much.
But after eating my own grain, I realized that it was also brown rice, and it was much more delicious than the vegetables in the field.
I can't say what tastes good, but it just feels different.
