The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 19 The Weir

Zhou Qitong saw Wang Shaodong, who was younger than him, comforting himself, smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "There are some things you don't understand."

Wang Shaodong also smiled, and said to himself: In terms of psychological age, I am older than you. Although I have no successful experience in emotional matters, I have learned more from failure than you.

In Wang Shaodong's previous life, he also had a relationship in college.However, it is a platonic love that stops at the soul level, without actual development.And after graduating from university, they met several times, and every time when it came to the final discussion of marriage, they broke up because of the house and other issues.

In this life, I will definitely make great strides forward in emotional issues, and will never let material factors influence my happy life.

"Work hard, brother, you are rich, Uncle Zhenming is eager to let Ma Min talk to you."

Zhou Qitong nodded, expressing his agreement with Wang Shaodong's point of view: "Your words are reasonable, but like me, where can I make money?"

Wang Shaodong knew that Zhou Qitong was ingenious, and the sooner he walked on the right path in his previous life, the sooner he would realize his happiness.If he had reached the achievement of his previous life in 2004 before 2006, he would have changed his mind compared to Ma Zhenming.

In fact, Zhou Qitong sold solar energy with his relatives in 2004 in his previous life, and then opened his own shop two years later.It's 2002, and the timing is just right.If I can open a solar energy shop in 2004, Ma Zhenming and Ma Min will definitely change their views on Zhou Qitong. After that, Ma Min will not marry Zhang Hai in 2006, and there will be no future misfortunes.

A mistake in a person's fate, one step earlier and one step later will make a world of difference.

"By the way, don't you have a relative who sells solar energy in the county? If you go to help out and learn some skills, you will definitely be successful in the future."

As the saying goes, one word wakes up the dreamer. After Wang Shaodong finished speaking, Zhou Qitong's eyes lit up, clapped his hands and said, "Yes, why don't I follow my clothes and learn to sell solar energy? Brother, what you said is in my heart It suddenly opened up."

Wang Shaodong nodded, he was very happy that Zhou Qitong could listen to him.

Zhou Qitong is a smart man, and it is estimated that he also sees the huge market potential of solar energy in the entire Gangcheng County in the future.

The big guy was soaking comfortably in the river, and he didn't feel a cool wind blowing on the river. The experienced old farmer hurriedly said, "It's going to rain."

As soon as everyone heard this, they went ashore to put on clothes.

On the way home, Wang Shaodong saw that Ma Lili, Ma Lili's mother and his own mother were all in the river just now.

When the weather is hot, the people in Taohualing Village will come here to escape the heat at night. Before 2006, the water in the Beihe River was still very clean.

After taking a bath in the river water, after returning home, Wang Shaodong felt refreshed all over.After arriving home, Wang Shaodong went back to his hut, the windows were open, and the cold wind from outside blew in, making goose bumps all over Wang Shaodong's body.As soon as Wang Shaodong closed the window, he heard heavy raindrops falling outside.

The surrounding area was filled with dense humidity, and soon, Wang Shaodong felt hot again, so he opened the window slightly, and the cold air swished in.

Tomorrow, I made an appointment to catch fish with my uncle Zhao Shihai in the Shizi River north of Qingquanling Village. A heavy rain is a good sign.

Crossing the Nanshan Mountain of Taohualing Village, standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the whole picture of Qingquanling, a small mountain village in the shape of a crescent, which is twice the size of Taohualing Village and has a population three times that of Taohualing Village. times.

To the north of Qingquanling Village, next to the foot of the mountain, there is a Shizi River full of egg-sized pebbles.The water of this Shizi River is very small, and when the water flow is the largest after the rain, it only reaches the knees of adults, and its width is no more than three or four meters.But such a small river is the place Wang Shaodong is most willing to go in summer since he was a child.No one else, because this small river is full of crucian carp weighing two or three.Even, if you are lucky, you can even catch a catty crucian carp.

Crucian carp is heavier than ginseng, which is really a very difficult good thing.Crucian carp can only grow one or two a year, and the heavy crucian carp has grown for at least ten years.

Catch big crucian carp, and let my uncle who is good at cooking make delicious crucian carp soup. It feels so good.

One night, I was half asleep and half awake listening to the sound of rain. Before I knew it, the sky brightened and the whole mountain village was covered in a thick layer of mist.

After waking up, Wang Shaodong hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of food, and then ran to Ma Lili's house.

Ma Lili was feeding the little rabbits beside the rabbit cage on the east side of their patio, and she was a little happy to see Wang Shaodong coming.

"You got up really early."

"Had breakfast?"

Ma Lili nodded.

"I'm going to the Shizi River in Qingquanling to catch fish now, do you want to go?"

Ma Lili nodded again, and said, "Wait for me."

Then, Ma Lili ran back to her room.

At this time, Ma Zhentang and his wife came out of the chicken shed, saw Wang Shaodong coming, and looked at him with a smile.

Ma Zhentang said, "Dongzi, what are you going to do?"

"Go to the Shizi River to catch fish."

Seeing his daughter coming out and changing into shorts and a short-sleeved undershirt, he said, "Follow your brother Dongzi to play, remember to go home for dinner at noon."

Ma Lili agreed, and happily followed Wang Shaodong out.

Since childhood, Ma Lili has been Wang Shaodong's attendant.The mountain village is small, with few peers, and Ma Lili has no other friends.

It's still early, it's only six o'clock in the morning, because it rained all night, the air in Nanshan is particularly fresh.The temperature is not too high, which makes people feel very comfortable.

Along the way, Wang Shaodong and Ma Lili talked and laughed, and turned over Nanshan in a blink of an eye.Standing on the top of Nanshan Mountain, the Shizi River at the foot of the mountain is clearly visible.Wang Shaodong saw a figure from a distance, and said excitedly: "Look, my brother-in-law is already making fish beams over there."

Ma Lili nodded, and also said excitedly: "It just rained last night, so we must have gained a lot today."

The Shizi River is a seasonal river, but it is strange that every summer when there is water, there are always many fish in the river that have grown for two or three years or even more than ten years.

The speed of the two people going down the mountain was much faster than when they went up the mountain. When the two of them came to the side of Zhao Shihai by the river, Zhao Shihai's weir had already reached the middle, and only the last work of closing the dragon was left.

Yuliangzi is a special fishing method invented by ordinary people under special circumstances in the Shizi River in Qingquanling.Using the unique smooth pebbles in the Shizi River, two small barrages with small gaps are built obliquely downward from the edge of the river, and then an artificial turbulent water flow is formed in the middle of the river.The two barrages were finally closed, leaving an opening about [-] centimeters wide. A thin stone slab was placed in the middle of the opening. Then, due to the function of the barrage, the upstream water and the downstream water formed a drop of more than ten centimeters. Under the thin stone slab, a small waterfall with a rapid flow and a height difference of more than ten centimeters will be formed.Then build a round pocket-shaped pit with pebbles under the small waterfall, and then sprinkle small pebbles two or three centimeters thick in the pit, and then the water washed down from the upstream will quickly seep into the water from the small pebbles. go downstream.

The fish in the upstream swim from the thin stone waterfall to the stone pocket, because the water seeps out all at once, and the current is very fast, so it is impossible to swim back upstream, and it is impossible to escape downstream.

This fishing method is ingenious and efficient, and Zhao Shihai is a master of this fishing method.

Seeing Wang Shaodong and Ma Lili coming, Zhao Shihai hurriedly told them to find the pebbles.

Then, barefooted, Wang Shaodong and Ma Lili held handfuls of small pebbles in the river and scattered them into the stone pockets.

After the weir was repaired, all we had to do was wait for the delivery.
