Chapter 251: Those Years in the Great Northern Wilderness (87)
Xu Jianmin took the fish first and weighed them. The two fish weighed about three or four pounds, which was good.
He went to see Song Jinhan, "Can it be promoted?" He had seen them fiddling with their private plots before, but he didn't pay much attention to it, mainly because there was no shortage of fish on their island. However, the team responsible for fishing mentioned that the harvest was getting worse every year, which was obviously due to overfishing.
The Corps has posted a notice regulating the mesh size of fishing nets and has also implemented a fishing ban in the lakes around the island, prohibiting fishing before July 20th.
But some people salvaged the fish privately. Last month, patrol boats caught several groups of people. We can't criticize them, but we have to make a living. If we don't punish them severely and let them go lightly, everyone will think it's okay, and it will become a bad habit. In the end, they were all sent to build canals, purely voluntary labor, and no work points were given.
It would be a good thing if fish farming in rice fields could be promoted.
Song Jinhan nodded confidently, "Yes, we can not only raise fish, but also shrimp, and we can also raise chickens and ducks in the fields. This is an ecological chain."
Of course, when the rice seedlings are short, we must pay attention to driving away birds such as egrets and protecting the fish seedlings. Once the rice seedlings grow, they will form a natural barrier.
His fields are guarded by rhubarb and water repellent devices are installed, but these birds are not found in all places, so it is still worth promoting.
Compared with the later generations’ pursuit of taste, people felt that the rice fish was farmed for too short a time, was small in size and had little meat, and had too strong a fishy smell. In the 1970s when materials were scarce, it was good to have fish to eat.
Fish are not rare on their island because it is surrounded by water on three sides and it is easy to get fish, but this convenience is not available in other places.
As Xu Jianmin listened, a picture of fish jumping in the fields and wind blowing rice flowers automatically emerged in his mind. It was very beautiful, but... taking too big a step might cause controversy again. He still had to make some achievements first. "Next year's experimental field will be used for pilot projects..." Then he talked about the harvester, "It works very well and can harvest directly, saving a lot of effort."
In previous years, people had to be arranged to dry and thresh the grain, but now they can just go to the threshing ground to dry the grain. It's a pity that there are only two harvesters of this type. If ten could work at the same time, then their corps could really achieve mechanization.
During the lunch break, Yun Tinglan said to keep an eye on Yi'an and not let him go out to play again. He has become a little black man and his eyes are red. It is obvious that he has keratitis. He must have gone to the river to fish and run barefoot many times.
As soon as she took out the eye drops, the child ran away on a bicycle wearing a straw hat, carrying a large wooden box on the back, which was obviously for popsicles.
Hey, this naughty kid!
But let's be honest, he has a good sense for business. Others followed his example and sold popsicles, but Yi'an had Lingxi's guidance and not only sold red bean and green bean popsicles, but also popsicles with various fruit flavors, ice cream, iced juice and homemade soda.
The child was also smart and supported bartering. He brought bird eggs, wild fruits, forks, loaches, snails and all kinds of things. He would come back several times a day, going out with a full load and returning with a full load. There was never a shortage of fried snacks at home.
When I passed by the family area, I heard someone screaming, "Dad, Dad, come quickly, my brother is in trouble and we can't wake him up!"
It was a strange female voice, but Yi An recognized the name in it. He turned his bike and rode over.
Many people gathered around, and some people walked into the house by themselves, so Yi An followed the crowd and slipped in.
Li Laidi lay straight on the kang, and no one could wake her up. Someone brave enough checked her breath and found that she was breathing. She breathed a sigh of relief and said to everyone, "She's still alive!"
But why can't I wake him up? Is he in a nightmare?
Suddenly, Li Laidie opened her eyes, startling the people who were nearby. Then they saw her sitting up straight, her head turning stiffly, and her pupils shrank when her eyes met Yi'an's.
Yian narrowed his eyes, is he playing tricks?
Li Laidi turned his head stiffly, and at an incredible angle, he turned his face towards a droopy-eyed old lady and said in a hoarse voice: "Grandma, help me, help me, I'm drowning..."
Is this... possession?
The grandson of the old lady with bound feet is indeed in the voice changing period.
Everyone was stunned, but the old lady's face changed drastically. She hadn't seen her precious grandson for several hours.
During the holidays, the teenage boys love to pick bird eggs from trees, go to the lake to bathe and catch fish, and they don’t want to go home after dark. Sometimes the father has to use a flashlight to look for the children, and it’s normal if he can’t see anyone.
But at this moment, the old lady felt panicky and didn't care about being afraid. She reached out and shook Li Laidi, "Where are you? Xiaobo, where are you?"
"Lake, reed marsh by the lake, help..." Before he could finish his words, Li Laidi's body softened and fell back onto the kang.
She wasn't sure of any more details. In her previous life, she vaguely heard from her family that the precious grandson of the old lady with bound feet drowned in the reed marsh on that day.
Yi An sneered in his heart, why are those eyeballs still moving? Why are you dizzy? But seeing a group of people rushing towards the reed marsh, he simply followed them and sold a few popsicles on the way, which was not a loss.
Unexpectedly, everyone really saw Hu Zibo struggling in the lake, and they quickly pulled him out.
The old lady with bound feet was crying breathlessly while holding her grandson. She fainted out of shock and joy. Everyone was in a panic again and sent the man to the health center.
Someone on the road exclaimed, "This is spiritualism..." A spirit possessed? I didn't dare to say the rest. We were destroying the four olds and overthrowing feudal superstition, so I didn't dare to bump into the wooden warehouse.
But I couldn't help but wonder in my heart.
Yi An didn't believe it, and came back to tell Yun Tinglan and the others, "She must have made it up. It doesn't say that those who are good at swimming will drown. She must have seen Hu Zibo and the others often playing in the reed marsh, so she made it up."
Yining ate grapes and said, "But he did save people." Of course, she didn't believe in things like psychics and possession. That was why she was even more curious about how Li Laidi knew that Hu Zibo was in trouble.
"Not necessarily." When they went there, Hu Zibo was struggling in the water, but was he just playing around in the water? Or was he drowning and struggling? Yi An thought it was the former, but Li Laidi's trickery made everyone think that Hu Zibo was drowning.
Everyone was stunned when Hu Zibo was pulled ashore.
Yun Tinglan thought, it must be too early, the person hasn't drowned yet. Li Laidi should know about this incident, but he doesn't know the details, but this is enough to make everyone wonder.
It is easy to guess what Li Laidi is thinking. She must be worried about not being able to go to school, and she is even more afraid that Li Sheng and his wife will sell her for a sky-high bride price. I heard that her second sister Li Daidi was sold for a bride price of 200 yuan.
It seems that Li Daidi fell into the water and was rescued by a passerby. Li Sheng took the opportunity to blackmail that person, saying that his daughter's reputation was ruined because she was taken away by a man. He demanded that the man marry his second daughter and asked for a high bride price, otherwise he would sue the man for hooliganism.
Finally, the marriage was arranged, but the other party also said that from now on, they would just treat this Yue family as non-existent. The money was used to buy off the relationship between Li Daidi and the Li family, for fear of being entangled by the Li family.
