Tian Changfa hurriedly explained, "Guodong's mother, don't worry, we can continue to catch some wild fish to sell, didn't we catch a dozen fish that day, and sold them for one hundred and twenty yuan." There is still a month to go, and it is impossible not to earn three hundred and fifty yuan. ”

Liu Lamei sighed, "I was lucky that day, but how can I be lucky?" I just took Guodong and Xiuying to cut the grass in the shallow pond, and I didn't see a single fish. I see, there are only a dozen wild fish in the pond, and eighty percent of them have been caught. ”

Tian Miaoxiu smiled and said, "Mom, the shallow pond is so large, three and a half acres, have you seen it all?" ”

She said in her heart that of course Liu Lamei couldn't find any fish, because the dozen or so fish she caught that day were hidden in her space.

And the others could not find the fish in the shallow pond.

Liu Lamei shook her head, "That's not true." ”

"Well, let's look elsewhere, digging a fish pond and looking for fish at the same time." Tian Miaoxiu said with a smile, "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, Mom, don't worry." ”

"That's it, the boat is naturally straight to the bridge, Mom, don't be sad all day long, worrying can't solve the problem, it's better to live happily." Tian Guoliang, who has always been cheerful and optimistic, also said with a smile.

Anyway, the contract has been signed, and half of the rent has been paid, what else can I do?

If you regret it, you won't get back half of the rent you paid.

It's even more of a loss.

Liu Lamei thought of this, so she had to say, "Okay, from now on, everyone should take action, the land can't be rented, let's rely on this fish pond." ”

After lunch, the family was busy.

However, you need a shovel to dig a fish pond.

There were no such tools at home, to be exact, no farming tools.

As a last resort, Tian Changfa had no choice but to borrow it cheekily.

He knew that the team would laugh at him, so he went to the squad leader Tian Dewang to borrow it.

Tian Dewang also hoped that Tian Changfa's fish pond would be built, so he borrowed it happily.

At the end of the year, after the contractor nets away the big fish, the small fish, shrimp and loach that slip through the net will be discarded because they are too small to sell at a good price.

At this time, it is the happiest day for the whole team.

Each family would take a basin and a net, and go out into the pond to look for the small fish that had been missed.

It is equivalent to saying that the contractor eats meat, and the whole team drinks some soup.

Tian Dewang, the leader of the team, handed two shovels to Tian Changfa and said with a smile, "When your fish pond is raised, I will carry a bucket to pick up fish to eat at the end of the year." ”

Tian Changfa smiled honestly, "It's easy to say, Uncle Dewang." ”

Returning home with a shovel, Tian Changfa sent it to the family to divide the labor.

He and his eldest son, Tian Guodong, dug the pond mud, and the younger son was responsible for transporting the pond mud.

Liu Lamei took her two daughters to cut the grass.

The family was in full swing in the backyard, attracting many neighbors to come and see the excitement.

Honest people praised Tian Changfa for his hard work, saying that he would be rewarded for his hard work, and if he dug the pond, some fish would come.

likes to say sour things, such as Aunt Gui Fen, who sold to Tian Miao Xiucai, said to Liu Lamei with a smile, "Sister-in-law Lamei, in the future, your family's fish pond will sell and make a fortune, and you will also take my family to make money together, we are neighbors." ”

Liu Lamei said perfunctorily, "I haven't gotten a word about the wealth road yet, and when my family gets rich, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a long time." ”

Aunt Gui Fen said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Lamei, don't be modest, your family is all cultural people in the city, and raising a few fish is not a simple matter?" ”

Liu Lamei and Tian Changfa both went to junior high school.

In this era, in the city, junior high school is not considered a literate person. But in the countryside, where they have just passed the literacy mark, they are a more literate category.

and they were all white and clean.

If they were in the city, they would look very ordinary.

But in the countryside, if you are white and neatly dressed, you will be laughed at as if you are not doing anything, and you are showing off your talents and pretending to work.

But it's not their fault that they're white.

Liu Lamei's face was ugly, "This fish farming is different from the work in the factory." ”

"No matter how different it is, people who know knowledge don't just look at it?" Aunt Gui Fen smiled.

"I heard that Aunt Guifen's family is going to build a house, right? According to Uncle Xianggui's income from carpentry, the house he built is higher than my old house, right? Tian Miaoxiu walked over and diverted the topic with a smile.

When it came to building a house at home, Aunt Gui Fen immediately stopped laughing, and anger rose in her heart.

Because, her man Tian Xianggui lost most of the money to build a house!

While playing cards, he also got into a fight with someone and broke his arm.

I haven't done anything for the past half a month, and I quarrel with her at home every day.

mentioned the unhappy thing, Aunt Gui Fen stopped talking, pulled her daughter Tian Xiangqin and left, "Go home and help me pull the yarn." ”

"Mom, I've already pulled three balls of wool, enough for you to weave for a week, I won't go back, I want to see Miao Xiu's house digging pond mud." Tian Xiangqin squatted beside Tian Miaoxiu and refused to leave.

Her shoes have been brushed clean, and she wants to compare her shoes with Tian Miaoxiu.

Because Tian Miaoxiu is still wearing old shoes today.

Aunt Gui Fen was not good at scolding her daughter in public, so she had to sulk and go home alone.

Without the noisy Aunt Guifen, Tian Miaoxiu and they were busy again.

Most of the wild grass by the shallow pond is thatched that is as tall as a person.

Tian Miaoxiu hugged a large bundle and placed it against the wall behind the house.

When it is dried, it is good firewood.

Tian Xiangqin ran with Tian Miaoxiu, where Tian Miaoxiu went, she followed like a shadow.

Tian Miaoxiu saw a hint of pleading in her eyes, and deliberately asked her, "Xiangqin, what are you running with me?" Beware of me getting your shoes dirty. ”

Tian Xiangqin bit her lip, pointed to the thatch in Tian Miaoxiu's arms and said, "I'll help you get it, let's take it together, it's faster, you see, your eldest sister and your mother have cut a lot more." ”

Tian Miaoxiu smiled slightly, "Don't, why am I embarrassed to ask you for help?" ”

"I really want to help you, and I don't want you to pay for it, don't be like this, let's make friends." Tian Xiangqin smiled.

"We are neighbors, and we are all the same age, and when we meet, we are friends." Tian Miaoxiu hugged the grass and leaned against the wall.

Tian Xiangqin said to the past, "Good friends help each other, right?" ”

Tian Miaoxiu looked at her, "Okay, but I don't pay you." ”

"Don't be rewarded, if I'm thirsty, just make me a cup of malt cream." Tian Xiangqin embarrassed her face and said in a small voice.

Look, it's time to say the purpose.

Tian Miaoxiu is indeed a little in a hurry to do things alone, since this girl wants to work, let her do it.

"Okay, don't shout tired." Tian Miaoxiu glanced at her and walked towards the shallow pond.

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired, I usually help my mother with things." Tian Xiangqin saw that Tian Miaoxiu agreed, and happily ran with Tian Miaoxiu.
