Hard times have room

Chapter 528 Catching Loach

Early the next morning, when it was just dawn, Pauline got up to cook.

In fact, it was a bowl of wild vegetable soup, plus a bowl of dried grasshoppers, but the bowl in front of Bao Lin was a small bowl, and the bowl in front of Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang was a large bowl.

This time, I'm going to try to dig loach, so I have to eat more. I don't know if I won't be back at noon!
In the past, I didn’t come back. I had a full meal in the morning and a little early in the afternoon, so I only had two meals a day. Although I was digging loach around Shanghe Village today, it’s not certain whether I would return or not. Maybe I was digging and digging. Just forget it!

The family of three ate the food in their bowls in silence and set off with the food.

Pauline walked last, holding a bucket at home with a shovel in it.

Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang will use a hoe for a while, while Paulin will use a shovel.

No way, there are only two hoes at home, and they were new ones last year. I really can't spare Paulin to use. She doesn't have much strength. When the couple is tired, they take over the shift and have a good time. Oh that's it.

The shovel in Pauline's hand could barely be used later, so she started fighting behind the husband and wife, carrying the bucket to catch fish.

When the three of them went out, the sun had just come out, and the orange-red light shone on people. Although there was no feeling, just looking at these warm lights in front of them made people feel comfortable inside.

The family of three walked all the way to Lei Gong's well. There was still water in Lei Gong's well, and it was still very clear. After returning home in the afternoon, Paulin would come here to get some water.

Standing next to it, you can clearly see some small bubbles rising slowly from the bottom, and some are attached to the dancing water plants, standing there, like a small pearl, and some will come. On the water, it will soon disappear without a trace, leaving no trace.

The time between the appearance of Leigong Well and the present is actually not very long. More than 20 years ago, by accident, someone dug down more than one meter and dug out water here. The water overflowed and slowly formed a well. A small puddle, but at that time, no one paid attention to it, it was just a small puddle, it was nothing special.

If it weren't for the location of this puddle being too remote and no one would pass by, this puddle would have been filled long ago.

Over time, this little puddle was gradually forgotten.

More than a decade ago, Shanghe Village had no rain for more than two months, and water resources were in short supply. Some people thought of this magical place that would produce water by itself. Before, they didn't care because it didn't reach the critical moment when water was needed.

Although the small puddle has dried up, the villagers firmly believe that as long as they dig down, they will be able to dig out the water. At that time, the urgent needs of the village will naturally be solved.

With the joint efforts of more than a dozen people, they dug a pond that was five or six meters long and three or four meters wide. However, no water was dug out at that time.

Some people give up, thinking that the water here has dried up, and some people continue to work hard in this place, find a place they think is the center point, and dig around this center point.

Although there are fewer people this time, the speed of digging down is faster, because they only dig that one meter square.

They dug down another three meters, and their hard work paid off. They finally dug into moist soil. They knew what it meant.

So, those who had given up before joined in again, and even more people joined in. Soon, a pool that was three meters long, two meters wide, and four meters deep was just fine. .

This time, God did not let them down. Overnight, half of the pool was submerged in water.

As for why it is called Lei Gongjing, that is another story.

Gradually, this became a very important water intake point in the village, and even gradually replaced the original well in the village.

This is still because a child in the village accidentally fell into the well while playing. It's gone, and because of this incident, there is a lot of uproar in the village, saying that this well is evil, although some people don't believe it, but what happened in the end, it's far from the truth. It’s always right to go far. With this mentality, I also stay away from this well. Slowly, no one wants to go there to fetch water.

In the end, in order to prevent any further accidents, and the villagers no longer fetch water there, the well was sealed by big bluestone. The younger people in the village have no impression of the well at all, and the well has gradually faded out. The villagers of Shanghe Village Sight.

Glancing at Lei Gongjing's place, Wang Jiandang and Su Hongying walked straight to the field next to them.

Wang Jiandang was looking for a moister place. There were many weeds in this place. He felt that this kind of place might be the loach's favorite.

He seldom came to dig loach before, and when he dug it back, he also fed the chickens at home. It was very boring. Therefore, when others asked him to dig loach, he didn't go. other things.

Su Hongying was looking for the place closest to Leigong's well, so she digged in from the edge of the field, thinking, digging all the way, it's always right.

Pauline looked left and right, the two were a little far away, about ten meters away, wouldn't she want to run on both sides later?
She shook her head and got rid of those strange thoughts. If the two of them decided not to dig in the same place later, she would run home and get a bucket again. Anyway, it would be impossible to run on both sides.

Besides, she also has a shovel in her hand. Although it may not be very easy to use, it should be possible to try it. She is still looking forward to it.

Paulin only stood there for a while, then Wang Jiandang shouted: "Paulin, hurry up. Come on, I dug up two loach."

There was excitement and excitement in his voice, and some of them didn't quite fit his "big man" spirit, but he was happy, happy that he had made a good start, and two hoes would be rewarded, and this is no one else.

"Oh, I'll be right there," Pauline said, grabbing the bucket at her feet and running towards her dad.

She didn't expect it to be so fast. If the frequency can be maintained, then the number of loach in this field is really beyond her imagination.

"How is it, these two loaches, aren't they good?" Although it was a question, the contentment in the words and the satisfaction on his face were almost overflowing.

Two loach, one big and one small, the big one is as big as his index finger, and the small one is as small as an earthworm. You can tell at a glance that he is still a baby, but he has not been let go. This is his first today. Harvest.

These two loaches were all put into the bucket by Paulin, the big and the small were not spared, the big ones could be dried, and the small ones were put in the water tank at home to keep them, anyway, they have not eaten yet.

It's just that big. After drying, it's not much bigger than the matchstick, so forget it!
