Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 315, Fishing

While walking on the road, Yang Xiaole also saw a water channel surrounding the base and leading into the distance along the path they were walking.

It's just that the soil inside is dry and has been dried in the sun.

It is more convenient to dig in the opposite direction. After all, the difficulty is different between digging mud in the water and building a canal first and then opening the water.

No one would foolishly start digging from the water source.

Looking at the black and yellow soil that was turned out, Yang Xiaole was thinking, this thing can be regarded as black soil, right?

Even without chemical fertilizers, the yield here is much higher than elsewhere.

Walking on the path that had been stepped on countless times, he was also looking at the scenery around him.

Nowadays, every village is not connected to cement roads like in later generations. There is not much difference between here and the countryside in Kyoto.

It’s just that the countryside is full of farmland, and there are weedy wastelands everywhere.

Not only Zhang Chunlan and her daughter were accompanying them, but there were also other women and children who followed the waterwheel team and rushed towards the distance.

There were also people coming back from far away along the way.

When you meet an acquaintance, someone is there to say hello.

It is said to be a water cart, but it is actually a large oil drum tied to a donkey cart, which is used to hold water.

"Sister Lan, when you come here, you will join our logistics team and either go farming, or join the Iron Lady team and build a house with them. From now on, this will be your home."

While thinking, a woman in her thirties or forties smiled and explained to Zhang Chunlan.

Zhang Chunlan muttered when she heard this.

The two communicated with difficulty.

What the other party means is that the construction here depends on everyone. Zhang Chunlan was assigned a house, which is also the result of everyone's cooperation.

Houses had to be built for the remaining people.

Because there will be people coming later.

Here, no matter who you are, we are all members of one big family.

Zhang Chunlan also felt grateful for a while: "Sister Lan, I know we wouldn't be able to live in such a nice new house without you."

Yes, in her opinion, this is already a good house.

Although a bit small.

But they also said that in the future, if the houses are built more and more, they will be able to share more rooms when a baby is born.

As for what the other party said about building brick houses for them to live in in the future, I dare not think about it.

She never thought that she would be able to live in a brick house in this life.

Wang Hong looked at Yang Xiaole and smiled: "Young man, are you new here too? Where are you from? My name is Wang Hong, and I am a captain of our team union."

Judging from the clean and bright clothes and the skin, he couldn't be from the countryside at all.

Yang Xiaole already had a rough idea of ​​the structure here, which was similar to the structure of a unit.

Many functions of the labor union and logistics overlap.

Then he smiled at her and said, "Well, I just came here. I came here with Aunt Zhang and the others in the afternoon. My family is from Sijiu City. Where does Captain Wang come from? His accent sounds similar to ours!"

"Oh, we from Zhangjiakou are not from the same place as you."

Yang Xiaole nodded, "That's not very far!"

Beyond Kyoto is the boundary of Zhangjiakou, and many places were divided there before.

Wang Hong looked at him and said with a smile: "I'm telling you! It doesn't look like we came from the countryside, and it's a good place in Sijiu City. It's a pity that I just passed by by train and I haven't been to Sijiu City yet!"

Yang Xiaole just smiled.

Several people were walking and talking.

Half an hour later, I saw an oil well operating not far away.

Wang Hong smiled there and said: "That's the 1205 drilling team, and Iron Man Wang Jin "

"Yes, I heard it."

Yang Xiaole nodded, how could it be possible? During this period, newspapers were almost overwhelmingly introducing the achievements here.

The Ironman's honor is naturally conveyed from top to bottom.

Many people may not know the name, but when it comes to Iron Man, few people have never heard of it.

It turns out to be right here!

He was also curious for a while.

"Then he is here now?"

"No more. This well has already produced oil, so they went to dig wells elsewhere. They all vowed to drill a thousand oil wells in this oil field within three years."

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly.

It seems that there is a difference from what he thought. Wang Tieren is actually a technician and not a worker.

After the oil well is drilled, the skilled workers are left to lead the apprentices, while the remaining people go to other places to open battlefields.

Once the skilled workers are familiar with it, they can take care of apprentices.

As long as they accumulate enough, skilled oil workers will be able to flourish in this barren land, but it will take time.

Ten minutes later, everyone arrived near a gathering place.

This place is similar to the 1204 gathering place, equally lively.

Abandoned.

Without going in, we followed the path until we came to a lake.

There are many rotating waterwheels and many wooden platforms sticking out by the lake. Some people are fetching water, some are washing clothes, and many children are playing there.

In the water, you can also see some children swimming and playing there.

Is this a blister?

Isn't it said that blisters are just stagnant places where water accumulates?

It's so big that it's too embarrassed to be called a pond, it's just a lake.

"Don't run around! The water isn't deep, but there are nests underneath, so don't fall in."

Wang Hong explained to him, and then looked into the lake with a worried look on her face: "These children are so courageous, and they are not afraid of anything happening."

Yang Xiaole nodded upon seeing this: "Okay, I understand, you go ahead and get busy."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hong followed the water truck to the place where water was collected.

Zhang Chunlan, on the other hand, stared at the big lake in front of her in stunned silence.

"So much water!"

Yang Xiaole now knows that Zhang Chunlan is from Guizhou Province, and there is a shortage of water there, so it is very rare to see such a big lake.

After sighing, he took Erya directly to the laundry place and started to get busy.

A mallet and a small piece of leftover soap head are the tools Zhang Chunlan uses to wash clothes.

When you see her put it to her nose and smell it from time to time, you can tell that she has never used soap.

Erya helps her mother with work there.

Just seeing Erya drinking water from the lake from time to time, I knew how short of water they were there.

Yang Xiaole looked at it for a while and stopped looking at it, focusing on this "bubble".

Above the lake, birds flew over from time to time, and in the grass, "small teams" of children were shooting birds with slingshots.

Looking at the water in the lake, he quietly moved to the distance, avoiding the people here.

He had not entered the space since morning, and the car was extremely hot, and his body was also sticky at this time.

You’re already here, how can you not indulge yourself?

After walking far, we came to a reed swamp.

"Ah! Three, three. Hurry up and pretend."

Suddenly, several screaming sounds came, which startled Yang Xiaole, thinking that some child had fallen in while playing in the water!

After scanning, I actually saw several children deep in the reeds.

There is also a team specializing in cutting reeds near the reed marsh.

Yang Xiaole frowned. The reed marsh was not that easy to enter. It was fine in winter, but now in summer, the reed marsh is full of mud.

If you sink in, you won't be able to get up.

Fortunately, these children returned safely and ran towards the distance with excited faces.

Watching a few people leave, he smiled. In fact, there was no shortage of supplies here, but it was full of dangers everywhere.

The swamp is not easy to treat.

There is a particularly large reed swamp in the distance, where animals appear from time to time, but no one cuts the reeds, and there are no children playing nearby. It is obviously very dangerous there.

Find a place, take off your clothes, leave a piece of underwear, and touch it.

There is no way, everything near the shore is black mud.

After walking for a while, he felt that he was almost in position, so he plunged into the water.

The lake needs to be big, otherwise, when we get down, we won’t be swimming and bathing, but playing in the mud.

There are also fish in the lake, and there are quite a lot of them.

But they are all small fish lumps, a little bit bigger. Occasionally, you can see one or two big fish sporadically, and the amount of big fish is very small.

He didn't recognize many fish.

The most common ones are loaches.

The water is actually not very deep. Even in the middle, it is less than two meters.

After swimming for a while, I peeked at the time and was not in a hurry.

Because he already knows that when you eat here, you have to work after dark. After eating, you still have to work, and you don't finish work until about ten o'clock in the evening.

The next day, I had to get up before dawn.

The intensity is very high.

There is still an hour and a half left before dinner. Counting the time to go back, we can still play for half an hour.

After swimming for a while, he came directly to Zhang Chunlan and the others.

At this time, Wang Hong was also there to help with the laundry, otherwise, she would not be able to go back in time for dinner.

"Go, let's play."

Wang Hong didn't even see his face clearly, and was driving towards him.

"Brother Xiaole."

But the little girl Erya recognized it and shouted.

"Captain Wang, it's me!!!"

When Yang Xiaole saw this, he shouted with a smile, then swung out of the water a few times, took 8 wild eggs with one hand and placed them in the middle of the gap in the wood.

Pheasants usually lay more than 6 pheasants in a nest, and sometimes they can lay more than [-] pheasants.

8 is quite reasonable.

"Yang Xiaole!"

Wang Hong only realized it. When he saw the wild eggs, he was surprised: "Ah, where did you get the eggs?"

Yang Xiaole wiped his face with water and said with a smile: "Oh, I caught the pheasant from the reeds in front!"

Hearing this, Wang Hong followed his gaze and looked over. When she saw that place, her expression changed: "Don't go there. It's a swamp. If you go down, you can't get up."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and agreed: "Okay, I won't go."

After saying that, he dove in and started to touch fish nearby.

Several people looked at the eggs, and Wang Hong hurriedly said: "Quick, wrap the eggs and don't break them."

Hearing this, Zhang Chunlan also took out a towel from his clothes and wrapped the eggs.

"Erya, go on~~"

While thinking, Yang Xiaole emerged from the water and threw up a palm-sized fish.

Jumping on the wooden raft.

"Fish~" Erya hurriedly ran to catch it.

After grabbing it, I looked around and saw that there seemed to be no place to put it!

When Wang Hong saw this, she shouted to Yang Xiaole: "Xiaole, don't run around and pay attention to your safety."

But seeing that Yang Xiaole ignored him, he could only shake his head helplessly and said to Erya next to him: "Find a willow stick and string it together and put it in the water, otherwise it will stink after a while."

"Oh oh~~"

Erya agreed and hurried to the shore to pull the wicker.

When he came back, there were several fish on the raft.

Most of them are small fish, with only one or two big fish weighing half a catty.

For a moment, the women who were washing clothes stopped what they were doing, and then looked at this scene curiously while washing.

I almost caught all the small fish I saw.

Yang Xiaole secretly released a large grass carp, which weighed more than ten kilograms.

As soon as it was released, big waves were splashing in the water.

Not to mention, fish are really strong in this water.

With his mouth shut, he climbed directly onto the shore.

"Let let, let let."

Looking at the people gathered around, Yang Xiaole urged.

"Oh my god, such a big fish!"

The onlookers were all curious.

"Captain Wang, help me take a look!!"

Yang Xiaole tied the fish with a branch, said something to the surprised Wang Hong, and threw the fish aside.

He just thought of a question.

Can some of this well water be put into this lake?

This way people nearby will be less likely to get sick!

Thinking of this, I left quickly.

Wang Hong looked at the big fish and did not wash her clothes. She came over and caught the big fish. At this time, the big fish was still flopping there.

"This boy is so brave! But he is quite capable! He can catch such a big fish."

Then he took the fish to the shore and put it there.

But we can't go back to the lake.

When Yang Xiaole swam to the middle of the lake, he quietly began to pour well water into the lake.

Of course, he was always aware that if there was not enough water in the well, it would not be worthwhile.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

As the well water entered the lake, there were more and more fish in the middle area. Fortunately, it was far away and it was approaching evening, so it was not very clear.

Next, he swam around in the lake.

The area is quite large and there is no way to take care of everything.

However, he had already released a lot of well water, and it was almost time, so he quietly walked around the reeds and came back.

"Xiao Le, hurry up, we won't be able to catch up with dinner in a while!"

As soon as he arrived at the place, he saw Wang Hong standing there shouting to him.

Zhang Chunlan and Erya stayed nearby.

"Hey, here we come!"

Yang Xiaole swam over, climbed onto the wooden raft, and washed himself with water.

But I still had six wild eggs in my hand.

I went back to where I kept my clothes and put them on.

Then he followed the large team and rushed towards the base.

"Xiao Le, how did you find it? So many eggs?"

Wang Hong was also surprised for a while.

It’s not that I’ve never seen such wild eggs before. The team can get some from time to time, but Yang Xiaole got a dozen of them at once.

“It’s not easy to find!”

Hearing this, Wang Hong frowned and said, "You're not allowed to go down anymore. It's too dangerous. You said you were here on the first day. If something happens to you, what will your family do? I'll follow you later. Let the family talk about it."

Yang Xiaole rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

Still complaining!

But he didn't care, he just said it!

"Here, I'll give you this wild egg. You can keep it."

Wang Hong handed him all the wild eggs in her hand.

Yang Xiaole was not polite. He gave this to his father. As for whether he gave it to others, he didn't care.

Looking at it like this, I’ll still give it a little.

I feel comfortable after taking a shower, and the temperature drops a lot at night, which is great.

It was already dusk when we were walking on the road, and by the time we got back to the base, it was basically dark.

But the base is still very bright.

Because there are torches in the base, lighting up the base very brightly.

There were many people inside at this time, including many oil workers covered in oil, many militiamen in military uniforms, and many women sweating profusely.

"Xiao Le, I'll give you this fish. Go back and eat quickly."

Wang Hong handed him the big fish in her hand and explained to him.

At the same time, Erya also returned the string of small fish to him.

Yang Xiaole took the big fish and smiled at Erya: "No, I'll give it to you. I'm leaving!"

After speaking, he took his things and left.

Erya looked at the things in his hands and then at his mother.

Zhang Chunlan hesitated for a moment, but decided to go back and tell her man.

"Come on, go back and talk."

Wang Hong was watching there, and when she saw the two going back, she left with them.

Yang Guangzhi watched his son come back with a big fish in his hand. He slapped his head and the brat ran away again.

When he got closer, he said in a venomous voice, "You bastard, have you gone to Shuipaozi?"

"Yes, Aunt Liu and the others went over there to wash clothes, so I followed them!"

After hearing his words, Yang Guangzhi took a deep breath and said, "Do you know how dangerous blisters are? Get out of here tomorrow morning."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole smiled, picked up the fish in his hand, and the towel and said, "Dad, don't give these eggs away! Keep them for yourself. By the way, this towel belongs to Uncle Liu. Remember it for a while." Give it back to him!”

"egg?"

Yang Guangzhi opened it curiously and took a look. When he saw the eggs inside, he was surprised: "These are all from Shuipaozi?"

"Um!!"

Yang Xiaole nodded calmly.

Seeing his expression, Yang Guangzhi was speechless. He quickly took the eggs and put them into the house.

Then he picked up the fish and lunch box and said, "Let's go and get some food."

Yang Xiaole followed and asked, "Are you giving it away again?"

Yang Guangzhi said angrily: "Do you think I can finish such a big fish by myself? Go to the logistics department and ask them to marinate it, leave some for them, and I will eat the rest."

As for taking Kyoto, he naturally wouldn't mention it.

With this little bastard, the third child, there will be no shortage of food at home.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole stopped paying attention.

followed.

When we arrived at the place where the torch was shining, many people were queuing up to get food.

Yang Guangzhi gave him the lunch box, pointed to one of the teams and said, "That's where our team is. You go and line up. I'll be here in a minute."

After saying that, he picked up his things and left directly.

Yang Xiaole took a look and went over to queue up.

When he was almost there, Yang Guangzhi came back.

Yang Xiaole stood there and asked him, "Dad, do you charge me for my meal? Why don't I have a ticket?"

He also saw just now that many people just bought food, but there were also some women who used tickets.

"You've disappeared without a trace. Where can I give you a ticket? I took the ticket. You are a relative. If you come here, you will get four meal ration stamps. Any more will be deducted from me."

As he spoke, he took out a small note from his pocket.

It's handwritten, but it's stamped.

Yang Xiaole nodded, he couldn't afford to entertain him!

Four meals.

It will only take more than a day at most.

I can actually stay until the day after tomorrow.

"Lao Yang, your son? He's so handsome!"

While thinking, the middle-aged woman in line in front smiled at Yang Guangzhi and asked.

"Ang, my second son!"

The other party saw this and smiled.

It was obvious that most of the people in this row looked familiar or knew each other, and someone said hello from time to time.

After waiting for a while, there were two people in line.

Yang Xiaole got a corn bun, which weighed two taels, while his father got two.

There were two ladles of cabbage soup in the lunch box.

This is a meal for two people.

The two returned to the shed, where there were already five shirtless men eating.

"Has your son been found?"

A middle-aged man saw the two people coming in and said something to them.

"Well, this brat went to play with Pipiaozi."

Yang Guangzhi muttered and told Yang Xiaole: "Call Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Sun..."

When Yang Xiaole saw this, he naturally shouted after him.

The man named Uncle Zhou was eating his meal and said with a smile: "Children~ there are some who don't like to play."

Yang Guangzhi nodded when he heard this and said to his son: "Sit down!"

Yang Xiaole naturally sat down.

After waiting for a while, Yang Guangzhi took out a bottle of canned meat from the bed, opened it, and looked at the people eating.

After hesitating for a moment, he gave several people a piece.

"Hey, no, no, you can keep it for yourself!"

Several people were polite there.

"fine!!"

Yang Guangzhi took a piece for each person, took a piece for himself, and then gave the rest to Yang Xiaole: "You can eat it!! After eating, you can go to bed at night, we still have to work!!"
