Zhou Zhi and Yang He carried the buckets to the upstream fish guard. When they mentioned the fish guard, they realized that the bottom two were almost full.

Nowadays, the ditches in various towns and villages are almost a paradise for fishermen. Looking at the full catch of fish, Zhou Zhi can’t help but lament that such a good environment will turn into a dead ditch in less than ten years, and the fish and shrimp will disappear.

It will take at least thirty years for today's situation to be repeated.

"Elbow?" Yang He saw that Zhou Zhi was lost in thought and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"Ah, it's nothing." Zhou Zhi said, "Catfish and snakehead fish are found in this place."

"Yes, I have seen a black fish holding its babies."

"I'll pick them up during the summer vacation." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "This fish catch is really scary. At least it should be half even."

"I'm going to catch some banana leaves." Yang He said, "If others see the fish in this ditch, it won't be safe."

"I guess I can't keep it like this for long." Then hurry up.

As a rural child, Yang He took a few bamboo poles and branches to enclose an area in the corner of the tractor compartment, covered it with banana leaves to make a makeshift basket, and Zhou Zhi picked up three buckets of fish and dumped them there.

They are both crucian carp and carp, both of which are oxygen-tolerant. In the current weather, they can survive even two hours out of the water.

Zhou Zhi also picked a catfish weighing more than a kilogram. Of course, this could not be released into the fields. This was to honor Yang and his parents.

Old Yangtou was very happy to see Zhou Zhi's arrival: "I heard from Yang He that you got a few auspicious treasures and sent them to the provincial capital as tribute?"

"There's nothing wrong with what you always say." Zhou Zhi said with emotion: "It's just these old words that feel fresh when translated!"

"When did you come back?"

"I came back yesterday. My mother criticized me for missing my visit during the Spring Festival and told me to come and see you two." After saying that, she picked up two bottles of wine and said, "I didn't bring much because I was going fishing. These two bottles of Wenjun wine are

A specialty of Qionglai, the capital of Shu."

"I'm so embarrassed." Old Yangtou said with a smile: "I heard that you didn't sell any pairs this year, so you didn't forget to write them down and send them to me. The elbows are decent."

"How about this year at home? Only my sister-in-law can do it!" Zhou Zhi looked at the old house that had begun to rejuvenate: "After all, I even raised pigeons!"

"I also listened to your words." Old Yangtou reached out and shook Zhou Zhi's hand: "Keeping the pigeon eggs, I feel a little more strength."

"Well, it's good to have a healthy body. It's good to have a healthy body and enjoy happiness!"

"This year we brought an extra pig to the house, and I will bring it back with a leg piece later." Yang and his mother came over and greeted Zhou Zhi with a smile: "I will make pig cakes for your grandma!"

"Oh, that's no need." Zhou Zhi waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm not being polite to you two, have you seen those fish? That's only half, the other half is to be taken into the city, I really can't bring anything else, next time, next time

Bring it back again!”

Over there, Yang He and his eldest brother had already surrounded a corner of the field with bamboo strips, and transferred the fish from the walking tractor into baskets and placed them in the field.

Yang He carried the remaining catfish over and put it in the footbath: "Dad, Mom, this is a tribute to you."

The sister-in-law has already taken a wind chicken from the stove: "If the legs are too heavy, then bring this one, this one is not heavy!"

"And this one, it's not heavy either." The eldest brother came out of the main room, carrying two small woven bags: "What do you like about elbows, dried bamboo shoots and sweet potato vermicelli?"

It's not a good place to stay here for a long time. Zhou Zhi quickly stood up and took it: "Then I'm sorry. There are still a few classmates at home waiting to eat fish. We have to rush back, so we'll leave first."

"I'll give it to you!" said the eldest brother: "It's very convenient to have a tractor!"

Sitting in the tractor carriage and coming out of Yang He's house, Zhou Zhi looked at the ditch and stone beach below: "Monk, you said that if a dam similar to that grass ditch was built in the ditch below your house, the water could be stored.

Doesn’t it look nice?”

Yang He's family has excellent Feng Shui. From the perspective of Feng Shui, the mountain behind the house is thick and thick, which is very conducive to hiding the wind and gathering energy. The only shortcoming is that the water level of the stream in front of the house is gradually decreasing, and the place where the stream used to be is now exposed.

A rocky beach.

According to Lao Yangtou, when he showed his signs decades ago, the water level reached the first field down the slope, and the field ridge there was built with stones by him for flood control.

"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"

It's better now, the water has receded more than two meters.

"It would be more comfortable if it was designated like that." The eldest brother said: "The front of our house was really beautiful at that time. I saw it when I was a child. Yang He was born too late, so I don't know what it was like."

Zhou Zhi is already thinking about the idea in his mind. This section of the stream can be used as the second or third phase of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau's assistance to Baimi Township water conservancy project. The dam will be used to restore the water level to the level mentioned by Lao Yangtou and his elder brother. Every year

I'll pay some contract fees to contract this section of water surface.

With the remaining power of Old Yangtou, after paying the contracting fee to the village, those electric fish and fish stealers did not dare to come to the door again and cause trouble.

This will not only protect the next section of the river, but also provide a good place for fishing and playing in the water in the future.

The area around Yang He's home is one of the few places in Jiachuan that has "night tide soil", which is particularly suitable for planting vegetables and fruit trees. After the water source problem is solved, the bean and peanut fields on the other side that rely on the sky can be transformed into economic

Crops such as medicinal gardens, fruit trees and other good areas.

However, this good thing is just an idea now. The most the Industrial and Commercial Bureau can do is to fund the construction of the dam. As for the next step of township construction, it depends on whether the local cadres have such vision and courage.

There is no need to reveal more for the time being. It would be bad if my father dismissed this plan as "using public interests for personal gain" and made Lao Yang happy in vain.

Although half of the fish had been sent to the fields, the rest was still a struggle. Fortunately, Yang He brought a basket and put the crucian carp and other small miscellaneous fish into the basket. The remaining few large fish were stuffed into the fish protection bag.

The fish guard is tied up with a rope and carried alone.

Fang Wenyu was still reluctant to leave after climbing on the tractor: "I just learned this, I should consolidate it further..."

"Who came here unwillingly last night?" Zhou Zhi rolled his eyes and said, "I will teach you how to kill fish when I get back! If you have killed fish before and you don't have any objections, we will come again next time!"

“Is it troublesome to kill fish?”

"It's not troublesome to kill fish, but it becomes troublesome if there are too many... There are probably thirty or forty crucian carp here alone, and there are countless white-striped wheat ears. After a while, you will know what it means to fish for a while and to kill fish for two."

okay……"

It's convenient to have transportation. The tractor pulled a few people to the dock in a short while.

Just as the ferry had arrived, Zhou Zhi and others said goodbye to their elder brother and prepared to cross the river into the city.

The elder brother's side was already extremely busy. Many fellow villagers were passing cigarettes and talking to each other, and the conversation was very lively. In fact, they just wanted to take a ride and save some distance.

Zhou Zhi nodded secretly. Seeing that the eldest brother with this posture is now gaining popularity in the village, it should not be a big problem to look after the pond in front of his house.
