Hard times have room

Chapter 710
"Can this work?" Wang Jiandang asked with his chest crossed, looking at the pile of burning firewood on the frozen river.

The fire was burnt by Pauline, with pine needles at the bottom and dry branches on the top. When the match was struck and the needles at the bottom were lit, the fire ignited at once.

As for the selected location, it was more than a meter away from where they were standing now. Pauline held a long stick in his hand to operate remotely, and from time to time fiddled with the firewood over there to make it burn more Prosperous.

Originally, she thought that their family should be farther away, which would be safer, but her parents disagreed, she felt that it was too far, and she couldn't see anything. It was boring. Besides, this location was really safe and could no longer be Safe.

To say that the place will be selected, it was finally determined by Wang Jiandang based on his "memory". He said that there was a nest of aquatic plants under the water surface of that place, and there must be fish in the place where the aquatic plants grew, so it was decided directly.

"I don't know, this is my first time trying, should it work?"

"It really won't work, then you can just chisel with a stone, don't delay."

"Oh, by the way, after burning it with fire, the ice surface in that place should become thinner. It should save a lot of effort by chiseling with stones. However, be careful not to fall into the river. It's very cold." Bao Lin had no idea in her heart. This Shanghe Village was located in the south. She had never seen a river with such thick ice!

In her last life, she was also a southerner. At that time, it was even more exaggerated. She had never seen snow a few times, let alone a frozen river.

No, she personally thinks that there should be no more fish in the Daqing River now. This year's drought is no joke. From the beginning of the spring to the end of the autumn, it is almost winter.

At that time, it should have been like the end of June. The Daqing River was completely dry. At the beginning of July, all the soft mud under the Daqing River was dried by the sun and cracked. what fish.

Although it rained before, and the Daqing River was filled with water, it was only more than three months, so in that short time, there would be any fish, she thought it would be good to catch a loach today.

"Don't worry, I'm the safest person. If I fall into the water today, I won't be laughed at by your mother and daughter."

"Besides, it's not a big deal even if I fall into the water. I can swim, and the place we chose to cut the ice is not too far from the shore. I'm standing in the water, and the water level at that location is definitely not as good as mine. Chin, so, don't worry!" Wang Jiandang waved his hand confidently, and said to Paulin indifferently.

Su Hongying listened to what Wang Jiandang said, and directly reached out and patted Wang Jiandang's shoulder: "Be careful, if something happens accidentally, it won't be fun. In this winter, it's easy to get a fever and catch a cold."

Seeing his daughter-in-law's serious expression, Wang Jiandang put away the disdain on his face, and took care of his clothes: "That's it, I'm serious."

Then, the husband and wife looked at each other and couldn't hold back. With a "poof", they looked at each other and smiled. After touching each other's eyes, they both turned their heads in embarrassment. In the same direction, they met their eyes. This time, the two of them were even more embarrassed, especially Su Hongying, whose ears were all red.

Pauline looked beside her with an unseeing expression, and turned her head away, she didn't understand what was the point of laughter in this matter, obviously, the single dog of her two lifetimes would not understand that feeling.

It didn't take long for the firewood that was burning on the ice to gradually become smaller, especially the firewood at the bottom, which should have been the hottest and reddest place. Slowly soaked in water.

The firewood at the bottom was extinguished, and the burning branches above were like wood without roots. When the wind blew, it fell. Of course, in reality, although the wood did not fall, it was extinguished when the wind blew. The heat source at the bottom can be burned again, but the embers at the bottom are wetted by the snow water, and the wood above is naturally useless.

The fire that was roaring was turned into a pile of wood with smoke. If it was inside the house, the smoke might be very choking, but now it's in an open place outside, so it's okay. As long as the wind isn't blowing in their direction, everything will be fine.

The fire went out, and they didn't dare to go there immediately, but waited for a while before Wang Jiandang took a bamboo pole to explore the way. Sturdy enough to allow him to stand without any scruples before bending down and grabbing a stick to pull the firewood.

Pushing the branch aside, he poked the spot where the firewood had been piled up with a stick.

"Is it alright?" Pauline asked loudly from behind, with her hands to her ears.

"No, the ice layer is still a little thick, I can't poke it."

"Paulin, hurry up, bring the big stick you prepared earlier that you want to use for fishing, and I'll try to see if I can break the ice layer." Wang Jiandang looked at the melted bump. The ice surface of the uneven big hole said loudly.

It was not until now that he really realized how exaggerated the ice on the Daqing River was this year. It was really too...too...too thick.

The moment he stared at the hole in the ice, Pauline was already by his side.

"Well, here it is." She was holding the big stick that she had prepared earlier, and it didn't look very coordinated in her hand.

This thing is used at home to knock soybeans. For dried soybeans, you need to repeatedly knock the soybean pods horizontally with a stick to break the pods and knock out the soybeans inside. Therefore, this stick is very long and heavy. Of course, Also very sturdy.

Wang Jiandang turned his head and saw that it was Bao Lin, and became anxious: "Didn't I tell you to stay over there?"

"What are you doing here?"

"Go back quickly!"

Paulin learned from her father's expression before, and waved her hand with a very disapproving expression and said, "It's okay, you can stand on it well, let alone me!"

"Besides, didn't you say it before, this place is very close to the shore, and the water level is not very high, so don't worry!"

"How can this be the same!"

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at his daughter-in-law, who was watching a play with her hands in her pockets: "You too, she is coming, why don't you stop her!"

"This Pauline is a child. You are just like her, only ten years old. You don't know the seriousness of the matter!"

"You're really good at being a mother. Now you don't know what your daughter is doing! You have to tell me."
