Chapter 28
"No, as long as it's helpful to you." Shen Qing shook his head indifferently, "Go, I'm still waiting to eat your fish." He joked with a smile.

Qiulin nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I will never forget your great benefactor when the time comes."

Shen Qing was amused by Qiu Lin's seriousness, so he waved his hands, "You girl is really dissatisfied with your nonsense, but you just borrowed a book, so how can you be a benefactor?"

After saying goodbye to Shen Qing, Qiu Lin ran home like flying with the agricultural book in his hands.When she came, she never expected that brother Shen Qing would be so polite and generous, not only agreed to that matter, but also lent her the agricultural book.He was originally their family's benefactor, what she said was not wrong at all, it was just that brother Shen Qing was too humble.

"You girl, you just settled down for a while, and then ran away without a trace, why are you so naughty, you have a boyish personality!" Sure enough, when I got home, the eldest sister scolded me.

Qiulin pursed her lips, feeling a little aggrieved.The good mood just now was also affected, and he became a little depressed.

Mother's voice drifted out from the East Wing, "Okay, although your little sister is young, she knows how to measure. Boss, stop talking about it."

Mother still understands her, so Qiulin didn't dare to look at her eldest sister, and ran to the east wing with her feet. "Mother, I'm not fooling around, but I'm off to do business." Seeing Mother, Qiulin couldn't help but want to be coquettish for a while.She suddenly felt that it was good to have a mother, to complain when there was suffering, and to share sweetness together, so she no longer had to hide anything in her heart.

"My child, you are so happy, what are you doing now?" Han seemed to be infected by Qiulin, smiling all over her face, letting her little daughter nestle in her arms, acting coquettishly.

"What business is she doing? She still gets the skins. The third brother said that she ran straight out and was not afraid of running into the uncle's house. I saw that since her head was injured, her brain has been missing a string, and she is not afraid of anything. Mother, you have to take care of her too!" Qiuyue found herself talking here cheerfully, but the little girl smiled as if nothing happened.Qiuyue became anxious, stomped her feet violently, and finally handed over the education of the little sister to her mother.

Han's was friendly, "Boss, your little sister knows how to measure." It's just that she has a little temper, isn't she still young, no one was naughty when she was young, it will be fine when she is older.

Qiuyue felt annoyed when she saw that Mrs. Han didn't help to teach her sister a lesson, she stomped her feet but stopped talking.

Mrs. Han didn't care about this anymore, seeing Qiulin holding the book in her hand, she wondered, "Si Er, where did you get this book? It's a thick stack, and your second brother's book is not as thick as it is." ah?"

Qiuyue also noticed it, and turned her head to look.But seeing the younger sister's eyes sweeping towards this side, she quickly looked away and stood aside as if nothing happened.

"I borrowed this from brother Shen Qing. He said that all the records here are the techniques and tricks of planting and breeding. He also said that this book is useless at home, so he lent it to me." Qiulin explained truthfully.I couldn't help but admire again in my heart, brother Shen Qing is really a good person.

"What, why did he borrow your book? How did you meet him? Could it be that you went to find him?" At this moment, curiosity was stuck in Qiuyue's heart, and she had already forgotten that she was still with her younger sister. Let's get angry.

The elder sister's temper is like this, she comes and goes quickly, she is a very emotional person.Qiulin confessed honestly: "Today I went to see the fish pond in our house. The reason why it became so smelly is because the drain was blocked. In this way, the fish pond became a puddle. Stagnant water will naturally stink for a long time. But if we dredge the drains, discharge the sewage in the fish ponds, and then open up diversion channels to bring clean water into the fish ponds, then the stagnant water will become living water. It will never be as stinky as it is now. This is why I went to Brother Shen Qing. I can't figure out Brother Shen Qing's grandma's temper, but I thought that Brother Shen Qing is a person who draws his sword to help, but I guessed it. Shen Qing My brother not only agreed with us to open the aqueduct, but also lent us this agricultural book!"

Several people in the room were fascinated, why didn't they think of this method before?After a long silence, Xu Nanshan slapped his forehead and became happy, "That's right, the stagnant water will turn into living water. After a while, the water source will be conserved, and fish can be raised. Ah Lin, how did you come up with this idea? "After raising fish, the family has more income, right? By then, his family's life will definitely be much better than it is now.Xu Nanshan's blood was already boiling.

"Uh," Qiulin thought for a while, and said, "I'm just thinking about it casually, Dad, is this really possible?" Qiulin didn't dare to accept it openly, and turned around to make himself appear to be just a whim .

"Of course it did, Alin, you are the lucky star of our family!" Xu Nanshan said excitedly, "When spring comes next year, put fish fry in the fish pond, and they can be harvested in summer and autumn." The fish is basically They rely on water to feed them. If the water source is good, they will naturally grow well. By then, they will all have round heads and big bellies.Xu Nanshan was so happy that he couldn't find things.

"Father, please stop praising me. It won't be too late to praise me until the fish pond is really implemented!" Qiu Lin wanted to dredge the drainage channel as soon as possible.It's better to dig a canal to drain the water.

"Yeah, that's true. These things have to be done quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams." Xu Nanshan was also afraid that the matter would change, so he instructed.In the end, the matter of digging a canal for drainage was finalized.

On the second day, Qiuyue and Qiusong did not go to choose wild vegetables, but got up early in the morning to make breakfast, ate a few radish heads randomly, and brought medicine to Ah Huang. , took tools like a hoe, and rushed to the fish pond.

Han-shi originally wanted to follow, but she is still sick now, and the dew was heavy in the morning, and her siblings took turns persuading her not to let her go, so Han-shi nodded and told the children to be careful in everything Don't be brave, the children also nodded in agreement.

At this time, the sky was only hazy and bright, and the whole Luoshui Village fell into a quiet and peaceful environment. The breeze mixed with the fragrance of the soil came to the nostrils. It smelled very good, and the air like this was really fresh.

"Be careful, pay attention to your feet." Qiuyue took a piece of wooden stick and walked ahead, waving the wooden stick in her hand while walking, hitting the surrounding grass.It's midsummer now, and these places with lush vegetation are the easiest way to slip that thing out.So she had to bang and bang to scare those things away.Even so, she was still a little worried, so she told her younger siblings who followed behind.

Qiulin had always been afraid of snakes, and after hearing what the eldest sister said, and being next to the grassy road, she felt a little nervous.She lowered her head to look, and saw the huge leaf trembling slightly, and there was a black thing under the leaf, thin and long... Qiulin was so frightened that she screamed and turned around, "Ah, snake, snake!" What happened, Qiulin was so frightened that he lost his soul.

"Where, where is it?" Qiuhe is not afraid of anything, seeing the little girl screaming and turning around, he hurried over, but his eyes wandered around, but he didn't see the snake half shadow of me?

Qiulin covered his eyes and didn't dare to look any more. He pointed at the place just now with trembling hands, and tremblingly said, "It's there, it's there!"

With Qiulin's finger, Qiuyue and Qiusong burst into laughter, their laughter was clear and clear, like silver bells.Qiu Lin was annoyed and pouted to lose his temper. The kinder Qiu Song couldn't help holding Qiu Lin's little hand, and told her softly, "Little sister, that's just a straw rope abandoned by others, don't be afraid."

What!Qiulin stared wide-eyed and looked over again. This time, she could see clearly that it was really just a straw rope. Qiulin wanted to slap her ears, but she couldn't see clearly, so she yelled like this. It's a shame.Qiu Lin angrily went over and kicked the straw rope, it was all your fault, it made me lose face in front of my brothers and sisters!
"Ah!" This kick turned out to be the cause of the kick. It turned out that there was indeed a black-tailed snake coiled in the grass, about two meters long, with a brown back and a yellow longitudinal stripe in the middle of the back. Two black vertical black-tipped snake patterns.It is the most common snake species in this area of ​​hilly slopes.Qiulin had seen this kind of snake before, and it was non-aggressive and non-venomous, but his surprise and kick just now obviously alarmed it.At this moment, the black-stalked snake was heading towards her with its head held high and its mouth open.

Qiulin was so frightened that he didn't know how to dodge, and just stood there in a daze.Fortunately, Qiuyue reacted quickly, and quickly waved the wooden stick in her hand to greet the black-tailed snake.It hit its wide open mouth just right, and several white teeth were knocked out.

Only then did Qiulin escape the catastrophe, lying on the second elder brother's body so weak that he didn't even have the strength to speak.

"Don't be afraid." Qiu Song comforted the little girl softly, touching the melon seeds on the little girl's head.He himself didn't expect that the younger sister, who is usually quite courageous, would also be afraid of this thing.

Compared with Qiulin, Qiuyue was much more courageous. Taking advantage of the time when the snake was knocked out, she quickly grabbed the snake's seven inches and lifted its tail. "Ha, I haven't smelled the smell of meat for a long time, so I'm going to use this as meat today!"

What, not only hit but also eat!Qiulin was so frightened that his feet went limp, and there was no difference between stepping on the ground and cotton.

The snake had been tortured to death by Qiuyue long ago, and now it could only be at the mercy of Qiuyue.Qiuyue hit it seven inches, found a rope to cover its head, and carried it dangling to her fish pond.Qiu Lin followed slowly, she was frightened by the snake just now, so naturally she had to keep a distance from the snake, so as not to be scared out of her wits by the dead snake again.
