My village can't be like this

Chapter 442 Release the Fish

I work in the fields early rather than late. After lunch, I only rest for a short while before getting ready to go to the fields.

This time Wang Fang did not go with her because she had to prepare lunch at home and deliver it to the fields later.

Although every day is only divided into morning and afternoon, when working in rural areas, a day can be divided into three time periods.

Because the working time is longer in the afternoon, after working for two or three hours, the owner will let him take a break for lunch, and then continue working again.

In Zhang An's memory, when he was young, he liked the feeling of eating in the fields the most.

Not just him, all children are the same.

Because at this time, you can eat desserts like biscuits or peach cakes, which are much more delicious than the rice at home.

Until now, the old biscuits have been slowly replaced by steamed buns.

Because the steamed bun shops on the street will use motorcycles to drive steamed buns to the countryside to sell them during busy farming periods.

Everyone's current conditions are better than before, so they are willing to spend money to buy some.

For the children, it is even more fun, because steamed buns are not something they can eat often.

After all, children these days have not yet bought breakfast. When they wake up in the morning, the adults at home have cooked noodles or heated fried rice.

Things like steamed buns are too far away for them who don’t have pocket money in their pockets.

Maybe sometimes, when the adults in the family are happy, they will buy them two meat buns when they go to the market, which is enough for them.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, it is the hottest time of the day, and the sun is even brighter than at twelve o'clock at noon.

But the good news is that two of Zhang An's three paddy fields have been planted due to the large number of people, leaving only the last one.

The field is not very large, just over an acre in size. With so many people, they can definitely plant all the seedlings before six o'clock.

"Everyone, take a break first and take shelter under the ridge."

At this time, Wang Fang and Su Ying's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also came over from home.

Su Ying held a basket in her hand, and Wang Fang carried a bamboo basket on her back.

It was filled with food delivered to everyone. It was the result of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law working at home for a long time.

Hearing Wang Fang's shout, everyone finished planting the seedlings in their hands and came out of the field.

There are many people planting rice seedlings today, and at a glance, the fields and dams are all full of people.

The old man selling steamed buns came to the village on a motorcycle with two large foam boxes at one o'clock and started shouting.

The people in the village are also very considerate, and there are many people buying them, but they basically buy according to the number of people, two for each person.

Zhang An didn't buy any at home because Wang Fang knew how to make steamed buns, and they were more delicious than those on the street.

When she went back to cook in the morning, she had already made the noodles. In the afternoon, she adjusted the fillings and started steaming the buns.

Zhang An has deep experience with this matter. Even though he was an only son and Wang Fang doted on him, he was often said like this by Wang Fang when he was a child.

Although a few little guys helped with the work for a long time, they still looked very shy.

She took the bun from Wang Fang, thanked her profusely, and immediately called her aunt, aunt, and aunt.

Today's meal not only included steamed buns, Su Ying also went to Zhang Xinmin's house and bought a lot of ice cream. Her basket was filled with ice cream.

For a few kids, this is something even more popular than orange soda.

Because they usually eat a popsicle secretly and cannot let the adults in the family know.

Otherwise, they will be scolded and told that they cannot hold a penny in their pockets.

At this time, a very interesting scene appeared. The children were eating the steamed buns with big mouthfuls, but they were taking small bites of the ice cream.

While eating, I looked at the friends next to me. No one wanted to be the first to finish.

In the evening, before the sun sets, Zhang An's family has finished planting all their rice seedlings.

If there was only a family of three, it would have taken at least two or three days to settle these fields.

But with the addition of students like Su Ying and Mr. Chen, they were all defeated in one day.

That night, many people came to Zhang An's house. They all knew that Zhang An's fields had been planted, so they came to ask for rice seedlings.

Some people don’t have enough rice seedlings in their fields, so they come over to ask for some to replant.

But some people knew that Zhang An’s family grew blood rice, so they came here to ask for some so they could try it themselves.

Wang Fang had no intention of keeping the extra seedlings. After all, unless they were used to feed livestock, they would just be left alone.

But when it comes to feeding livestock, it’s too much of a waste rather than giving it to people in need, so as long as someone comes to ask for it, Wang Fang readily agrees to it.

In the next few days, Zhang An was not idle. He was called by his father Zhang Jianguo to go outside and help neighbors and relatives plant rice seedlings.

All relationships cannot be maintained forever by just talking.

Favors come and go, and only then will they continue.

It may seem trivial to work for someone else's house for a day, but in fact, many people will remember it in their hearts.

Of course, everyone is aware of those people who cannot remember the good things about others.

When Zhang An was at leisure, he realized that the carp fry at home had grown a lot.

Even if the fish tank couldn't fit in it before, he could use a large water tank to divide it a little bit.

But now, there is no water tank at home for him to move around.

These carps have now grown to nearly two inches in length, and it is time for them to be exiled to the pond.

Early the next morning, Zhang An got up and started cleaning the fish pond.

The big fish pond in the backyard saves trouble, because he has already cleaned it some time ago and put Jin Jia and Xiao Hong in it.

But it’s still early, and the water temperature in the pond is relatively low, which is not suitable for putting fish in it, so we have to wait a while.

Wait for Zhang An to clean the Tai Chi fish pond and fill it with clear river water.

At this time, the sun has risen very high, and the temperature of the water surface has slowly risen, so the fish are not afraid of being stirred when they are put in.

Zhang An moved all the carps in the house to the yard. The family did nothing but picked fish in the yard.

After all, Zhang An had already planned to keep only black and white carps in the Tai Chi fish pond.

If you don't choose, then all the efforts in this pool will be in vain.

Fortunately, there were not many black and white carps, so it took more than an hour to finally distinguish them all.

As soon as these fish entered the fish pond, they became very impatient and not as comfortable as before.

Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo thought they were not accustomed to the unfamiliar environment because they had just changed places.

But only Zhang An knew that the reason why these guys were impatient was because they couldn't adapt to the gap from heaven to mortal world.

After all, Zhang An gave them space spring water in the tank in the past. Although the space living in it was small, it was a taste that the fish yearned for even more than freedom.

And this pool is filled with river water drawn from the river.

Although it is clean, transparent and crystal clear, it is still not space spring water. How do the princesses and young men who are used to living a wealthy life adapt to this? They must know that it is easy to change from simplicity to luxury, but it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality.

I saw that they refused to calm down and jumped out of the water from time to time.

Zhang An could only put his hand into the pool and slowly pour the space spring water into it.

There is no way, who allows me to be too used to them.

But the big fish pond in the backyard was different. When Zhang An put fish in it, they all swam quietly and didn't dare to jump around.

Maybe it's because the existence of Xiao Hong and Jin Jia suppressed their wild personalities.

"When did you release the fish? Why didn't you call me?"

After Zhang An put out the fish and put in the fish food, Chen Ze came over.

Seeing the happy fish swimming in the pond, Zhang An was full of complaints and blamed him for not asking him to join them.

"You guys don't get up until the sun is shining on you every day. I'm afraid the day lilies will get cold when I get up."

Chen Ze and Zhang An were speechless. When the weather was cold before, he could get up early and do two sets of boxing every day.

But now the weather is getting hotter, and the time of dawn is earlier in the morning, and this guy can't get up.

Zhang An visited him several times, but he only got up when the sun was already high and the nanny at home had cooked the meal.

"You're here just in time. If you want to catch a few for yourself, I won't care about you."

After Chen Ze went back some time ago, he actually invited Uncle Zhang An and the others to come over and help him dig a fish pond in the yard.

But because Zhang An hasn’t released any fish yet, it’s still empty.

At this moment, he happened to be here on his own. Zhang An handed him the cheat net directly, and he slowly fished out what he wanted.

"Then you go and find me a basin. I didn't bring anything. I have nothing to put it in."

Chen Ze was not polite to him. He picked up the net and fished for the beautiful strips on his back.

However, the thunder was loud and the rain was light, and only a dozen fish were caught in each pond.

"Why don't you catch more, there are just a few of them, I'm afraid they won't last a few days and they'll all be gone."

If one dies every few days, these fish won't last long at all.

"That's about it. My pond is too small. It's not suitable for raising too many."

Chen Ze shook his head and said that his yard was not big, so he could only dig a small fish pond.

This carp grows very fast. If it can be fed, these twenty or so fish will be just right.

If there are any more, his small fish pond will be dwarfed by comparison.

Moreover, this fish was brought back to the old man to raise, so he was not afraid of not being able to keep it alive.

If he is exhausted by then, he will come to Zhang An to fish for it, since they have plenty of them anyway.

"By the way, Zhang An, he called Lao Ding yesterday and heard that Li Li has gone to the hospital to give birth. Should we go and see her?"

After Chen Ze fished out the fish, he remembered the business of coming to see Zhang An.

Because he wanted to buy something for the old man yesterday, he called Ding Yi and asked him if he had any.

If there is any, you can ask the person who goes to the countryside to collect mountain products to bring it to save him a trip.

However, on the phone, he also learned that Li Li was about to give birth recently.

He thought that as a friend, he should go and visit him.

But he is not married yet, so this kind of thing is not very convenient.

So he wanted to come to Zhang An to discuss it. After all, with Su Ying here, it wouldn't be so inconvenient then.

"I definitely have to go, but I'd better go after the baby is born. Old Ding must be very busy these days, and it would be a disservice to us to go there."

Zhang An thought for a long time before deciding not to rush over to visit.

As much as the Ding family attaches great importance to the child in Li Li's belly, Li Li must be surrounded by their family members these days.

Although I and others are Ding Yi's friends, the child has not been born yet, so it must have been inappropriate in the past.

Chen Ze thought the same thing. This time was their family's time, and it was really not appropriate in the past.

"By the way, I'm going to go to the river to get some copper water plants and put them in the pond. Do you want to come with me?"

The fish pond is bare now, so we must get some aquatic plants to put in it.

Because so many fish were suddenly put in, there must be a lot of oxygen in the water.

Aquatic plants can not only increase the oxygen content in the pool, but can also be used to digest nitrates in the water.

After all, after the ammonia nitrogen produced by fish manure is decomposed by nitrifying bacteria, it needs to be solved by changing the water.

But for a pond as big as his, it is certainly impossible to change the water every day, and Zhang An is not a very diligent person.

Therefore, without changing the water, it can only be absorbed by plants or evaporated.

Moreover, these aquatic plants can also provide part of the food source for the fish in the pond.

"Okay, but I don't know how to do it. Then you can teach me how to do it."

Chen Ze didn't know how to raise fish himself, so he made up his mind to see what Zhang An did and then do it himself.

The fish that I originally wanted to take home were put back into the pond first, waiting to come back from the river later, and then brought back together.

"Zhang An, what aquatic plants are we looking for?"

There wasn't much else in the river, except for the most water plants, but Chen Ze didn't know which kind Zhang An wanted.

"Our pond has no mud, so we can only find some aquatic plants that can be grown in water and can survive without mud. Water hyacinth is very good."

Water hyacinth, whose scientific name is water hyacinth, is a floating herbaceous plant that is abundant in the wild, even in fields, and is very easy to find.

The advantage of this thing is that it can absorb heavy metal elements in the water, and the water purification effect is obvious.

But the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, it grows and reproduces too fast. If you are not careful, it can fill up a large tank. It is easy to prevent the water body from getting sunlight, which affects the photosynthesis of algae in the water body. The growth cycle is fast, and the old and new leaves rot and pollute the water body. .

So it needs to be cleaned frequently.

However, for fish ponds, this thing has its flaws and can still be used once in a while. It just needs to be cleaned every once in a while.

And Zhang An hasn't found anything better than this thing for the time being, so he can only use it as a top.

If I get better aquatic plants in the future, I will replace the water hyacinth.

When they arrived at the river, Zhang An quickly found a large patch of water hyacinth.

Zhang An only selected some plants that were relatively healthy and good-looking.

Because the roots of water hyacinth are easy to attach to other organisms, Zhang An washed these water hyacinths cleanly before preparing to take them back.
