Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 98 The Pond
The cat's claws went down, and the Ning family rested for a few days, and Ning Wan thought of her pond.

When Ning Wan raised fish in a big puddle, the people in Sanjia Village used it as a joke, and when Ning Liang came back from outside to bring lotus roots, they couldn't help laughing. I planted lotus flowers, but no one thought that the puddle has now become a small pond.

Ning Wan, Ning Qing, sister-in-law Chun Ling, and Luo Shuang'er came over in their free time, and when they passed through the sorghum field of the Ning family, they saw two or three pink lotus flowers blooming on the water, and they all exclaimed together, "Ah! What are you talking about?" The flowers that grow in time!"

"I haven't come to see it for more than a month, and this puddle has turned into this!"

"I don't know if the fish grow up or not?"

A few years ago, the young woman stood by the water and stared into the water. Suddenly, a lotus leaf moved, and then a bubble appeared under the water. Ning Wan saw a shadow swimming under the lotus leaf, "My fish, I The fish have grown up!"

"I saw it too!"

"I'm afraid it's half a foot long!"

"There's another one!"

Ning Wan laughed, "Let's catch fish and eat it!"

Although fish is cheaper than meat, fish is eaten less than meat in Sanjia Village. Everyone is excited, "How can I get fish out?"

Chunling's sister-in-law said, "I'll let you, Brother Dajiang, go into the water to catch fish."

Ning Wan hurriedly waved her hand, "No, the highest part of this puddle was originally as deep as a person, and when it was enlarged, it was dug deeper. People who don't know how to swim can't just go down."

"Then what should we do? It's a pity not to find a way to catch and eat it. Isn't it a waste of raising this fish!"

Chunling's sister-in-law and the others have never heard of rich people raising koi carp for viewing but not for food.Although Ning Wan knows and has seen it, but now she is like everyone else, raising fish for eating, not for watching, so she thought for a while, "Let's go back and get the cold cloth used to dry vegetables, sew a net bag, and then tie With a long pole, you can fish out the fish."

A few people did what they said, and went back excitedly to sew a net bag, and then carried the net bag back to the pond to catch fish.

The fish were not easy to catch, obviously seeing them swimming downstream of the lotus leaf, and even touched the lotus leaf, but the fish caught by the net bag jumped forward and swam away.Seeing that Ning Wan was holding the net bag but got nothing, Ning Qing rushed to grab the net bag, "Come, look at mine!"

But the fish still ran away.

After trying a few more times but still not working, Ning Wan watched the fish swim away quickly and thought of a way, "How about this, one person uses a long pole to stir up the water, and the other person holds a net bag and aims at a fish head-on. , it should be easy to get around."

Sure enough, once the water was muddy, the fish could not be seen clearly, but when they were about to get out, they were caught by the net bag at once, and several fish were caught in just a while.But these fish are big and small, so they kept the big ones and put the small ones back into the pond, "Come back in a few days, let them grow up and eat!"

At noon, I made stewed mixed fish, that is, stewed carp, crucian carp, and grass carp together, which tastes better.What's more, such fresh fish only needs a little seasoning, and the taste will be extremely fresh after a little cooking. Ning Liang and Yu couldn't stop admiring after eating, "Who would have thought that Wan'er would turn that big puddle into a fish farm?" Where is the pond!" Du said again: "That's great, the family won't have to go to Mayi Town to buy fish in the future!"

Ning Wan also said, "At that time I bought hundreds of fry, but I don't know how many can be raised?"

From this day on, the Ning family has been going to the pond to catch fish for food every three days, steamed fish today and stewed fish soup tomorrow. Raise fish!"

"Why don't I build a pond near our house near the mountain stream, and raise fish in it. I'm afraid it's more cost-effective than growing food!"

However, everyone talked about it, but no one really went to dig a fish pond.

It is hard to say how many fish can be raised, and if there are so many fish raised in Sanjia Village, who will they sell them to?Not to mention transporting it to Hutai County, even Mayi Town is difficult!If you want to eat fish, bring some money to Ning's family and tell them, just grab two. Who else can't eat fish like Ning's family every day!

Ning Qing went to catch fish before lunch that day, and came back with a net bag in a short while, panting, "Wan'er! Wan'er! Something serious happened! Follow me to the pond!"

"What's the matter?" Ning Wan was picking up vegetables, but was shocked by the second sister and put down the vegetables, "What's the big deal?"

"It's not a big deal!" Ning Qing pulled Ning Wan up and left, "Come and see with me!"

Ning Wan was dragged down by her to the pond, passed through the half-person-high sorghum field, and saw the breeze blowing across the water surface, creating layers of ripples. Ye Jiaorou is pretty, she is a beautiful scene, so she stopped and said, "What do you want me to do here!"

Ning Qing stomped her feet, "It's all right! Take a closer look at what's missing!"

Ning Wan took a closer look, and sure enough, she found that the lotus in full bloom was gone, and there was still a flower bone and a few lotus leaves.It's not that she is careful, it's because the small pond of Ning's family is not big, and the number of lotus and lotus leaves growing out is limited, and there are not a few in total. She didn't want to pick one and put it on the table, but now it is very few It is conspicuous, and the stump is still half exposed on the water, which seems to be telling its tragic experience.

Seeing that Ning Wan understood, Ning Qing yelled and cursed loudly, "I really don't want a thief to come out of our village and steal into our pond. Why didn't God open his eyes and drown him here? That's the newsletter!"

Ning Wan stopped her, "What's the use of scolding, there is no one by the pond right now, be careful to make yourself angry!"

Ning Qing's anger was no small matter, how could he calm down like this? "I'll go back to the village and scold from the beginning to the end of the village. I see that the one who killed a thousand swords has become the first thief in the village!" It turned out that she didn't know that Guo Qiuzhu also stole things in the village. When such an incident happened for the first time in Sanjia Village!

In Ning Wan's mind, losing the lotus and lotus leaves is not a big deal, even if you lose a few fish, it doesn't matter. This land has had no crops for more than nine out of ten years, and now it's just a matter of taking advantage of the trend to build a pond. The fish fry didn't cost much, but she had another worry—that is, what if someone came to steal the fish and fell into the water?
Therefore, seeing Ning Qing came to the village angrily and began to curse, but he didn't stop him. He just said to the people who gathered around after hearing the sound: "The pond is our family's land. If someone falls into the water and has an accident, our family will not be responsible for it." of!"

Some people have already scolded Ning Qing, and now those who dare to follow others are showing that they have no guilt in their hearts, and they also said: "If you steal something from the Ning family's pond, you deserve it even if you drown, and the Ning family will not have to pay for it! "

Everyone agreed, "Not bad!"

Even Aunt Guo came out and said: "God let this thief who suffered a thousand knives fall into the water and drown! Let's see who is so black-hearted and wants to steal a few fish." Obviously this fish is not The Guo family stole it.

In fact, everyone in the village is suspicious of the Guo family. After all, there have been thieves in his family before. Seeing Aunt Guo gnashing her teeth, she said again: "Maybe it's not from our village. After all, the pond is beside the mountain stream. Maybe people from Hujia Village I saw it when I was carrying water, and when I liked it, I folded the flowers and brought them back."

This is also possible, and Ning Wan was just trying to explain what she said, but she didn't want to find out the thief immediately, so she pulled Ning Qing back, "Let's go catch the fish quickly, the family is still waiting for this fish to cook." Where's the fish sauce!"

In a small place like Sanjia Village, it is very difficult to hide anything from everyone. On the second day, someone in the village quietly grabbed Ning Wan, "The one who stole your fish pond belongs to your own family," he said, stretching out his hand. Fingers crossed three, "Last night I had diarrhea. I went out in the middle of the night and heard a sound in the backyard. I leaned on the wall and saw that their family was digging a hole to bury things."

Seeing Ning Wan's puzzled gaze, he smiled again: "At that time, I was also surprised. Could it be that some gold and silver treasures should be buried? But after he finished burying and left, I went to have a look. Before I reached the pit, a few cats Come here and pick it up, and ran away with the fish head and intestines! Now you go and dig it up and see, how can there be some fish scales?"

Others bought fish, and after eating the fish head and intestines, they would not throw them away. They should be fed to chickens, and the chickens would lay bigger and more eggs after eating them.Only Sanfang didn't dare to take it out publicly because it was stolen, and there was no place to throw it away, so he had to go out in the middle of the night and bury it. It's really funny!
Ning Wan shook her head and went home, and said to her parents, "It's not worth fighting these few fish with Sanfang, but I'm not reconciled to this, what can I do?"

Ning Liang and Yu Shi were both honest people, and Sanfang didn't ask for the food owed to them, so naturally they didn't get angry because of the few fish, so Yu Shi said: "I should have told Second Uncle, let Second Uncle It’s about the third bedroom, but the second uncle is getting old, and now his energy is getting worse day by day, so let’s forget about it. Besides, we are both surnamed Ning, wouldn’t it be a joke for outsiders to listen to the quarrel at home?”

Ning Liang was a little reconciled, "After all, they are all surnamed Ning, so it's right not to argue. But at night, I went to talk to my third uncle and third aunt, and I caught a few fish, why did I take the hard-earned fish? Have you picked lotus too? Besides, our Ning family ancestors have been honest farmers for generations, so we don't have three hands."

Ning Wan didn't want her father to take the matter over, she just wanted to tell them that she would naturally find a way to deal with Sanfang, so she laughed, "How can you talk to Sanfang? Don't go there and be scolded by them. "

Ning Liang said with a straight face: "What I'm talking about is truth, but I'm not arguing with him. Besides, I'm also the eldest son and direct grandson of Ning's family branch. Shouldn't it be right for me to talk about the mistakes of the third family?"

"Father, you are indeed much more capable than before!" It is not the first time that Ning Wan feels that her father has changed. He is more capable of doing things outside, and now he can straighten up and teach the third uncle who has always been tolerant before, "Father, I support you." You! As the eldest son of Ning's family, you are the right person to teach Sanfang how to do things!"

The reason why Mrs. Yu calmed down was that she still faced the old lady with fear from the bottom of her heart, and seeing that her husband was going to reason with the third room, she cast her admiring gaze, "Father Shitou, I also think you are more capable than before. , I'll go with you!" After all, a man is the backbone of the family. In the past, the husband always gave in to the third bedroom, so Yu Shi naturally became more timid. Now that her husband is not afraid, Yu Shi has become more stubborn.

When Ning Wan saw that her parents were planning to go to Sanfang, what should she say, she laughed at the side, and helped them with a few ideas. While discussing, she heard that there was already a commotion in the Sanfang courtyard separated by a wall. , quickly went out to have a look, and it turned out that Ning Qing was holding a kitchen knife in his hand and was cursing in the middle of the courtyard of the third room: "I used to respect you three grandpas and three grandmas, but now you steal things to our house, I am! I will call you You three grandsons!"
