Chapter 136 Everyone has a bright future
It would take two hours for an ordinary person to row the tires and put six nets like this. Li Long only took about half an hour to finish placing the nets and then rowed The tire returned to shore.
My body is not wet, but there is some water on my shoes. Compared with yesterday, this process is much more beautiful!
"Brother Long, you are so awesome!" Tao Daqiang gave a thumbs up and sincerely praised, "Just the ability to put a net in the net - I guess I will never be able to learn it in my lifetime..."
This is the truth.
After more than ten or twenty years, the villagers had spare money. Many families about the same age as Li Long had nets. They caught fish not for selling, but for the sake of harvest and cooking for a change. After all, idleness is also idleness. With.
But there are no more than five people in the whole village who can row the tires with both hands and release the net with their mouths.
Of course Li Long has seen something even more powerful, one that directly casts a net on a wooden boat in Dahaizili. Many people are good at casting a net on the shore, but on a boat, you have to use the power of the boat and work together with your body, waist and legs to cast the net while standing firm and not being knocked down. That is extraordinary.
After all, this is northern Xinjiang, not a place where fishermen are popular.
Listening to Tao Daqiang’s praise, Li Long was also a little proud and said with a smile:
"Just practice more. When the water is not so cold, you can practice it by sitting on the tire and practicing more. Let's find a place to cast the net."
With yesterday's lesson, Li Long They went around Xiaohaizi to find a suitable place to cast their net. After all, if there are many reed roots underwater and a net is hung, it is really difficult to retrieve.
It’s not that it’s impossible to get it, but there’s no need to cause that trouble.
They found a pit on the edge of a pit pushed out by bulldozers to reinforce the dam during the dry season. Li Long shook up the net, tied the rope to his wrist, grabbed the lower gang, and then cast the net from the bottom to the bottom. With a distance of almost one meter apart, Shangzuna grasped the net with both hands, looked at the position and silently estimated it, then joined forces with his body and waist, and spread the net in a wave shape with his hands.
When casting the net, the nets in your hands should be cast out one by one. You cannot cast them all at once, otherwise they will be cast into a line.
Li Long felt very good, but he still felt a little regretful when he saw the net fluttering in the air, and the final shape of the net falling into the water was the shape of the moon on the tenth day of the first lunar month.
But it’s not bad, at least the beginning is good.
"Brother Long, you cast the net very well. The best I cast yesterday was only half of it." Tao Daqiang said.
Li Long suddenly discovered that Tao Daqiang was also quite good at flattering.
I turned around and took a look, and found that his face was sincere, oh, it turns out he was telling the truth.
After all the net fell into the water, Li Long slowly started to pull the rope, and then he felt the net shaking.
There are fish.
The mesh is relatively small, so no fish, big or small, can escape. When Li Long lifted the net up, he saw that there were all kinds of fish in it. The big one weighed more than a kilogram of silver carp, and there were two medium-sized ones. There was a large plate crucian carp of over 500 grams, a dozen palm-sized crucian carps, and a dozen ditch fish, which are the plateau flower loaches.
Good harvest!
Li Long was very satisfied.
Tao Daqiang came over in a hurry, took the bag and started to pick up the fish. He smiled and said while picking up:
"This ditch fish is really good. The big ones can grow as long as chopsticks. It will take two or three years, right?"
“It won’t grow in two or three years, it will take at least five. "Years." Li Long looked at the net and said, "There will be fewer and fewer fish like this in the future."
"Why should there be more and more?" Tao Daqiang finished picking up the fish. Then he poured some water into the bag, and then asked with some confusion.
“In the future, there will be floods from time to time, and one day the Xiaohaizi will be washed away. Then the ditch fish will not be able to grow so big in the future.” “Isn’t it possible? This Xiaohaizi is destroyed every year. The dam was never destroyed by the flood.”
Even Tao Daqiang doesn’t believe it, and it seems that others don’t believe it even more.
But the fact is that the big flood happened two years later. It not only broke down the dam in Xiaohaizi, but also directly flooded the nearby farmland. The flood finally rushed into the residential area. If most homes in residential areas were not built with a lot of soil when laying the foundations, and raising the homestead, many homes would probably be flooded.
During that time, Li Jianguo carried Li Juan and Li Qiang out of the village on their backs when they went to school.
Looking up through the reeds, I saw the west side of Xiaohaizi. The village laborers were excavating the earth between the dry ditch and the main canal. Maybe they could really avoid the disaster caused by the big flood.
After adjusting the net, Li Long cast another net in another direction.
Perhaps because the last net was cast better, Li Long was somewhat conceited. This net only cast a semicircle. After falling into the water, he was somewhat embarrassed.
God indeed favors novices. Once you claim to be a master, you will suffer a blow.
There are still more than a dozen ditch fish in this net, there are seven or eight crucian carp slices, and there is only one big fish, which is a grass carp stick of about one kilogram. Fish of this size are not liked by many people in the village. They are round and not tasty, so they are not as popular as crucian carp.
Next, Li Long adjusted the position of each net to release more or less fish, but the shape of the net should be the best one at the beginning.
Tao Daqiang also tried it, and the result was that the best was half a net. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hold it big. One line was more. But even if it was just a line, there were fish in the net that was finally dragged up.
Li Long had to sigh, at a time when there are fewer people and more land, resources are really abundant.
When the sun was about to go down, two people were carrying a net and a tire and were planning to walk back. By this time, the laborers who were cleaning the canal had also finished their afternoon work and were returning to the village.
Li Long met several peers - Tian Siping, Qin Hongyan, etc.
Xu Haijun, who often took them to play, left to serve as a soldier. Wu Shufen taught first grade in the village primary school. Gu Xiaoxia went to a middle school to be a teacher and got commercial food as she wished. Gu Ermao was still working as a truck driver. As an apprentice, Qin Hongyan and Tian Siping stayed in the village and became a serious farmer.
Everyone has a bright future.
Li Long remembered that more than thirty years later, a cooperative appeared in the village, and Tian Siping and others each received more than 100,000 yuan in dividends every year, which was considered a decent "retirement." At that time, their circle of friends often showed off barbecue, travel, and the flowers and plants in the yard.
At present, only Li Long, who is secretly called a "second-rate boy" by the parents of his peers, does not earn work points and only catches fish and hunts in a day, but in the eyes of Tian Siping and others, he has a good life. The most dashing one.
Even in their eyes, Tao Daqiang was better than them.
Li Long and Tao Daqiang stood on the dam of Xiaohaizi, watching the people working in the village passing by one by one like generals reviewing soldiers, and occasionally saying hello to familiar people.
Until Li Jianguo and Gu Boyuan walked over side by side, looked at Li Long and Tao Daqiang standing there, and shouted:
"What are you doing, standing there stupidly? Why don't you go home quickly?"
< br>Li Long and Tao Daqiang heard this and entered the team obediently, chatting and laughing with everyone and walked towards the team.
Do you still have monthly passes?
