Age: My Small World

Chapter 11 Fish Fry
There is no such thing as darkness under the gray sky.

Yang Jun waved his hand casually, and the weed seeds flew to every corner of the hill.

The dandelion seeds seemed to have turned white again, and then fell into the cracks in the ground, trying to grow a whole plant of fruits that swayed in the wind.

"It's a pity that I can only use spiritual water mixed with river water to simply soak the seeds. It would be better if there was more spiritual water."

There are quite a few seeds, so the little spiritual water that has just been produced is naturally not enough. It needs to be mixed with river water, which should be of some use.

With Yang Jun's hope, all the seeds landed safely.

Then his job was to continue digging the pond and expand its area.

I stopped only after I felt a little tired.

The pond is almost one-third of an acre of land and will be completed in a few days.

Yang Jun turned his attention to the various seeds he had planted before.

He planted corn on four acres of land, two acres of wheat, one acre of pumpkin, the remaining one acre was used to grow vegetables, and the last acre was used to grow peppers, coriander, garlic and the like.

Of the ten acres of land, except for one acre used as a pond, the remaining nine acres are planted with things.

Unfortunately, up to now, except for fast-growing vegetables such as bean sprouts, the rest have hardly sprouted.

The time is still too short.

the next day.

He still followed his mother and the others to work in the fields. This time, Yang Jun had learned how to save energy and control the details of the work, but his speed was not slow.

The entire harvest process is gradually coming to an end, and there is less work today than yesterday.

By the time we carried the last bag of corn back home, it was only afternoon and the sun was at its hottest.

"Xiaoshan, are you home?"

Fan Yuanjie's voice could be heard from a distance.

The old lady who was drying corn also heard it, and said casually: "Son, go and play, I'll just dry it."

This doesn't require much effort, so Yang Jun nodded. He was still thinking about whether he could get some wild fruit trees or something today.

"Xiao Jie, here I come."

Fan Yuanjie really came to ask him to go out and play.

After finishing most of the housework, the boy began to let himself go and wander around.

"Here, your bag is back to you."

Yang Jun casually returned the cloth bag to him. Fan Yuanjie took it and put it in his pocket, then excitedly pulled him to the east.

As he walked, he said anxiously, "Xiaoshan, hurry up, or you'll be late."

Yang Jun asked curiously, "What's the matter? Why is it so urgent?"

"Wang Yilong of the Wang family said he wanted to compete with Yuanlong and Yuanhu in water skills. I'm afraid they've already started by now."

If he hadn't wanted to bring Yang Jun along, he would have gone there long ago.

Of course, there are not only members of the Fan family in Fanjiazhuang, but also some people with different surnames. However, the largest family among them is the Wang family.

Among them, the two brothers Wang Yilong and Wang Yicheng and Fan Yuanjie's two cousins Fan Yuanlong and Fan Yuanhu had the most friction because of the similarity of their names. They had been fighting since childhood, so it was normal for them to test the waters at this time.

Most of Fan Yuanjie's peers are in their forties, except for the two brothers Yuanlong and Yuanhu, who are of similar age, so they are closer and he is indispensable for their encouragement.

When he arrived at the small river in the east, Yang Jun found that there were already quite a few people gathered there. Four people had already taken off their clothes by the river, and it seemed that they were ready for the competition.

Maybe because there were a few girls who came to watch the fun, they left their pants on.

I didn't see Cheng Xiaoyu. She must be helping with housework.

"Yuanjie, why did you come just now? You must applaud me loudly later, hahahaha!"

Fan Yuanlong seemed to not take his opponent seriously at all and was already in a victorious posture.

He was similar in size to Fan Yuanjie, both with broad shoulders and broad waists. His square face gave him a natural air of seriousness, but at the moment, he was grinning widely and cheerfully. "Fan Yuanlong, wait until the competition is over before you yell at me. Who's going to lose is still a mystery."

Wang Yilong was also a big man. After saying that, he jumped directly into the water.

Fan Yuanlong was unwilling to fall behind and followed him down.

The other two looked at each other, hummed, and went into the water.

"Oh oh oh, Brother Yilong will definitely win." The Wang family cheered for their own people.

The Fan family was not willing to be outdone, and the scene suddenly became noisy.

Fan Yuanjie stared with his eyes wide open, but Yang Jun felt helpless and smiled.

These four people are all over 20 years old, but they still have stubborn tempers.

But in about a minute, the four people emerged from the water almost at the same time.

"Who won?!" Fan Yuanlong stared at the person who was counting.

"Uncle, you won!" a half-grown child said impatiently.

Most of the people in the Fan family with the surname Yuan are the father's generation, and Fan Yuanjie is the only unmarried one. Unless the others are bachelors, their children are almost in their teens or twenties. There are naturally more children in the Zhao generation, and there are endless voices calling them uncle.

"Yes, Yuan Longhe, I saw you get up first." Fan Yuanjie took over.

Wang Yilong's face had turned a little dark because the silence from his family was a little deafening.

"Brother, I don't believe it. I want to compete with them again." Wang Yicheng didn't believe in evil.

The two brothers Fan Yuanlong had no objection, so the competition continued.

After watching the show, Yang Jun secretly ran to the side and went into the water.

This time he didn't sit on the shore. Instead, he rolled up his trouser legs, put his straw sandals on the stone, and walked into the water.

He wanted to find some fish fry and put them in the pond in the space, and continue to collect some water into it.

He even ran to the upstream position on purpose.

After searching for a while, he found that there were actually quite a few fish in the stream, but they were difficult to catch, and most of them were only as big as a finger. If he wanted to find the two-pound fish like the one he caught last time, he needed a coincidence.

"It seems I was lucky last time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to catch a two-jin bighead carp."

Suddenly he thought of something and secretly placed a trace of spiritual water on his fingertips.

In just a moment, it seemed that many fish swam directly over and took the initiative to dive into his hands.

"That's feasible!" Yang Jun's eyes lit up.

Spiritual water is not only good for humans, it may be even more beneficial for small creatures like fish.

The movements of the fish confirmed his guess.

After collecting all the fish attracted from the surrounding area, he decisively stopped this wasteful behavior.

Glancing towards the pond in the space, he saw that the originally quiet water suddenly became more noisy. Perhaps there were a few fish weighing more than a kilogram swimming in it, which were all his fish fry.

"This spiritual water is really a good thing. I won't go fishing empty-handed in the future."

Yang Jun was already thinking about finding a place with lots of big fish to fish, no, it should be said that he could collect the fish directly.

"We'll have to ask Yuanjie."

Although he had come to the creek before, he didn't know where the water was too deep or where the big fish were. He thought Fan Yuanjie knew better than him.

Just as I was thinking about it, the downstream crowd was about to disperse.

"Xiaoshan, why are you up here?"

As soon as I saw Fan Yuanjie's excited look, I knew who won the competition in the end.
