Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 54 Finding Water
Lu Changhua rushed back in a hurry, and eight or nine people from the Lu family rushed in at once.

They are all grain sellers.

"Xiao Lu, how's it going? Is the money back?"

"That's right, our family is in a hurry for money."

The whole room was full of chatter.

"Okay, don't worry, everyone, the money is back."

Lu Changhua comforted everyone and said to Master Lin who was silent: "Master Lin, there is one person from each family. Let's go to Beining tomorrow to get money. Anyone who wants cash can do it."

When everyone heard this, they felt a lot more at ease.

"Let's check the accounts."

Lao Lu was unhappy when he saw the attitude of these people.

This is because I’m afraid my son will take the money and run away!

Mother Lu’s face was also ugly.

Lu Changhua asked them to take Xiong Bao for a walk around the reservoir to relax. When he went out, he said to his father: "Dad, let's not get angry with them, just make money."

"These people!"

Lao Lu snorted, turned and left.

Mother Lu took off her apron, threw it on the stove, and followed Lao Lu with a straight face.

Everyone in the living room was a little embarrassed.

Lu Changhua came back and continued to reconcile the accounts. When there were no objections, he asked them to confirm the signature again, and then said: "At five o'clock tomorrow morning, we will take Lao Lu's rubber tire truck to the intersection in front of the team headquarters. You have to pay for the round trip expenses yourself!"

"well."

"Should be."

These people had nothing to say and turned around and left.

Lu Changhua grabbed Master Lin.

"Master Lin, wait."

"Ah? Is something wrong?"

"Come on, sit down."

Lu Changhua left Master Lin behind.

Hand him a cigarette.

The two of them sat around the table.

Then he said: "Master Lin, I want to repair the north side of the dam and build a dam downstream."

"Oh? You want to build another reservoir? What if there is another flood? Has the company agreed?"

"I'll take care of this."

"Then you have to find Master Tang. I can't do it with one car. It's going to be freezing soon."

"Okay, tell Master Tang for me and let's get started when we come back from Beining tomorrow."

The shift fee is based on the farm's regulations, so they cannot suffer any loss.

After seeing Master Lin off, Lu Changhua got on his motorcycle and took a trip to the reservoir.

At this time, the water depth in the reservoir was only three meters.

It is impossible to survive the winter in such deep water.

There are still so many fish in Curry.

Hu Dagui was chatting with his parents in the duty room. When he saw Lu Changhua coming, he asked, "Has all the grain been sold?"

"sold."

"Changhua, what about the fish in the reservoir?"

"Keep it up."

"But the water is too shallow and we can't survive the winter!"

Hu Dagui's face twitched.

When Lao Lu and his wife heard this, they were also anxious.

"How can this be done?"

In summer and autumn, I thought there was too much water, but now I think there is too little water.

"That's right, son, do you want to fetch water?"

Mother Lu was also worried.

"Don't worry, you guys, let me think of a solution."

He comforted the three of them and chatted for a while before taking his parents home.

When passing by the wasteland to the west of the duty room, Lu Changhua glanced inside.

In a previous life, a spring once gushed out of this wasteland.

Every year all the cattle and horses in the division come here to drink water.

At that time, the on-site leaders also took water samples for testing. They found that this was a spring formed by the upwelling of groundwater. There was nothing special about it, but it was drinkable.

Later, this spring became one of the water sources of the reservoir.

Nowadays, the reservoir is short of water. If this water source can be found in advance, the big problem can be solved.

In the Lu family's living room, Lu Changhua talked about the idea of ​​building the Babei Reservoir, and Lao Lu was a little reluctant.

"Changhua, do you still have enough money?"

"Enough."

"What about that? I'm talking about opening a restaurant in Beining. Do you still have money?"

Lao Lu finally spoke his mind.

"Haha, dad, don't worry, that's enough."

"Oh, all right."

Old Lu slammed his mouth and said: "Our side is going to announce the disbandment, if the money doesn't come together..."

"Don't worry. I will go with you to buy a hotel after the New Year. I will rest at home before the New Year and have a good New Year."

"Well, that's fine."

Lao Lu didn't know when he started letting his younger son make the decision.

"Eat, eat."

When Mother Lu saw that the two men had finished talking about business, she started to prepare dinner.

Lu Changhua also felt hungry, so he went to get bowls and chopsticks.

The three of them had lunch around the table.

Lu Changhua packed up another box of vegetables, grabbed some steamed buns, and got on his motorcycle to go to the reservoir.

Hu Dagui is still hungry.

During this period, Lu Changhua was sued for debt, and Hu Dagui was angry about not selling fish, so it was inevitable that he would offend others.

Lu Changhua asked him to guard the reservoir to prevent anyone from doing bad things. If he poisoned the water, he would be finished.

Xiong Bao had already eaten, so he jumped out of the house and ran to Lu Changhua. He put his front paws on the motorcycle and looked at him and screamed.

"Come up, come up." Seeing the master's words, Xiong Bao put down his front legs, slumped his waist and twisted his body suddenly, his front legs touched the seat cushion in front of Lu Changhua, his hind legs kicked the ground, and with a bang, he jumped onto the motorcycle .

Rubbing his body back and forth on the motorcycle, he squeezed into Lu Changhua's arms.

"Let's go~"

Lu Changhua shouted loudly, and the motorcycle drove out of the yard and ran towards the reservoir.

Hu Dagui's eyes turned green as he waited for a long time.

"Brother, if you don't come here, I will go back. My eyes will turn green from hunger!"

"Come, come, come, eat quickly."

Hu Dagui stopped talking, grabbed the lunch box, got into position and started eating.

"You think it's strange, you eat like this and you don't get fat, how did you gain weight?!"

Lu Changhua joked.

"You are so hungry, can you get fat?!"

Hu Dagui said aggrievedly.

"Okay, eat slowly and don't choke."

I really shouldn't mention this, because whenever I mention Hu Dagui, I start to hiccup.

"Slow down, you kid."

Lu Changhua quickly patted him on the back.

Hu Dagui held the steamed bun for a while before he dared to take a bite.

"Dagui, work will start in the north in two days. You should keep an eye on it."

"rest assured."

Seeing that Dagui's food was delicious, he turned around and went to the team headquarters. Xiong Bao wanted to follow, so Hu Dagui held him in his arms and comforted him.

This was the first time he went there after repaying his debt.

Han Jianhua was busy in the office. When he saw Lu Changhua knocking on the door and coming in, he raised his head and asked with a smile: "Xiao Lu, why did you think of the team headquarters today? Is there something wrong?"

"Director, I really have something to do."

"Oh?"

Han Jianhua felt very guilty because of the debt incident last time. Now Xiao Lu came to him to do something. As long as it does not violate the principle, he can agree to what he can. It is also a kind of compensation.

Of course, this was what he was thinking in his heart and it was impossible to say it out loud.

He leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"I would like to discuss with you to make use of the depression north of the dam."

"fish culture?"

"Ah."

Lu Changhua nodded and said, "Director, it's hard to buy fry now. I want to breed them myself, even if the water surface is too small."

"Well, yes."

"Next year, the fish will be worth millions of roe, so it's definitely not enough to rely on this level of water."

"Is that much? How much feed do you have?!"

Han Jianhua really cared about him. After hearing what he said, he started to think about the feed first.

"Director, you have to give me some feed land next year, otherwise there will be nothing to feed."

"The feed land is easy to talk about. Since you have been asked to contract the reservoir, I have to support you. No one can say anything about this."

Han Jianhua smoothed his hair, looked at Lu Changhua and said, "If Babei is also turned into a reservoir, it won't be solved with just a little feed."

"Yes, I have to go to the Beining Oil Factory in two days to buy some soybean cakes and soybean meal."

"That's a lot of money."

Han Jianhua and Lu Changhua chatted about the feed for a while, and then said: "Okay, you can also do it in Babei. You have to bear the cost yourself. We will sign an agreement for the paid use of the deserted beach to prevent anyone from gossiping."

He got up and found the company's statistician: "Follow Xiao Lu to the reservoir, measure the area of ​​the low-lying land north of the dam, and come back to make an agreement on the use of the wasteland."

The matter is settled.

Lu Changhua rode his motorcycle straight to the reservoir with his little statistician.

On the north side of the reservoir dam is a triangular low-lying land mass.

The dam on the south side is more than 300 meters long, with gentle slopes to the east and west, extending to the north for more than 500 meters.

After calculation, the area on the north side is about 100 acres.

After sending the statistician back to the team headquarters, Lu Changhua returned to the reservoir again. This meant that he had a motorcycle. If he had used his legs to run back and forth, he would have broken off.

The sun is setting and the sky is full of red clouds.

The sun is giving off its last rays.

Hu Dagui had already started mixing the fish food, but Lu Changhua picked up the shovel and went to the wasteland to the west of the duty room. This was the land connected to the vegetable garden, overgrown with weeds and bushes.

Xiong Bao's tail is like a big dandelion held high, swinging from side to side.Panting, he followed Lu Changhua. Occasionally he found a shortcut and ran ahead to lead the way.

Lu Changhua searched for clues in the wasteland based on his own memory.

This spring gushed out a few years later, and there is still no trace of it.

He persistently searched for traces of water on the ground. There must be some water coming out of the spring, right?
But after searching around for a long time, there were quite a few traces of water.

There is some water accumulated in the meadow here. How can we tell the difference?

Naturally, it was all in vain.

"Changhua, what are you doing?"

After Hu Dagui finished feeding the fish, he saw Lu Changhua circling left and right in the wasteland in the distance. He didn't know what he was looking for, so he stood outside the duty room and shouted.

"it's okay no problem."

Lu Changhua was disappointed and pulled the bushes with his shovel, and walked back with Xiong Bao.

One person and one dog were covered with dead branches and leaves.

When he got closer, Hu Dagui asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"

"I want to see if there is a spring here."

"Spring? Is there one?"

Lu Changhua shook his head silently, leaned the shovel against the brick wall, squatted down, and plucked the thorns from Xiong Bao's fur.

"Dagui, you'll stay here tonight, aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid? Hey, look what this is?"

He took out an iron gun from behind the door.

The long spearhead shone coldly.

"When did this happen?"

Lu Changhua asked doubtfully.

"My dad did it a few days ago. It's very safe to be on duty here at night."

　I wish my book friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, all the best, and may my family be happy and healthy.
