Lin Heng looked in the direction of Xiulan and was quickly stunned, mainly because he had never seen such a strange fish.
This fish looks like a grass carp, weighing more than a kilogram. The deep mountains are as blue as the sky, and there is a purple vertical line on its back, which looks very strange.
"Husband, what kind of fish is this? Hurry up and pick up the net for me." Xiulan said aloud.
"Okay, here it comes."
Lin Heng picked up the net and quickly picked up the fish. After seeing it clearly, he was sure it was a grass carp. It looked more beautiful than what he had seen in the water.
"Honey, you are so lucky, this is a mutated grass carp!" Lin Heng said in shock.
As he spoke, he removed the fishhook from the upper lip of the fish. Fearing that the fish would die, he quickly put it into the fish guard, and then observed it carefully.
Not only is the back of this fish blue, but most of the scales on the sides are sky blue, and the bottom abdomen is light blue. The gill covers of the fish have some blue, and the purple vertical stripes on the back are blue. The lines are also very obvious and look very handsome.
"Really?" Xiulan came over and took a look. This fish was indeed so beautiful.
"Let's put it this way, body color variations in fish are not uncommon, but they are usually yellow and white variations. Such a dual-line variation of both blue and purple is definitely rare among hundreds of thousands. So you are not lucky at all," Lin Heng explained while looking at Xiulan.
When Xiulan heard this, she opened her red lips and smiled: "So, I am really lucky today."
Lin Heng nodded: "Of course, let's take this fish back and raise it, and breed it to produce offspring. After selective breeding, it can become an ornamental fish like koi. It is a big business."
Xiulan nodded, then looked at Lin Heng and said: "Then I will give this fish to your husband, and you can take good care of it."
"Then you're welcome. Thank you, wife. This is a unique gift in the world!" Lin Heng put the fish down and said happily. He likes to raise some fish to play with. This rare native fish is even more precious and has a high probability of being unique. of.
As he said that, he picked it up and looked at it again. Compared to the golden catfish he kept in his backyard, this fish was much more precious.
Xiulan was also happy when she saw his silly and happy look, and she finally gave her husband a unique gift.
"Shall we continue fishing?" Xiulan asked.
"Let's stop fishing. I want to go back and get an oxygen bottle and a plastic bag to oxygenate the fish before taking it back. It must be foolproof. If I take it back directly and die, I will have no place to cry." Lin Heng said.
"If you don't catch fish, you will lose." Xiulan said with a smile. Fishing doesn't matter to her, the main thing is that it's fun to be with Lin Heng.
"Well, I give up." Lin Heng nodded with a smile.
"Okay, I'll punish you by carrying me to the car. My feet hurt and I can't walk." Xiulan tilted her head and looked at him.
Lin Heng patted his chest and said: "It's simple, no problem."
When he stopped fishing, he collected the fishing line first, then took out the fish and put it into the bucket, leaving the mutated grass carp alone in the fish guard. He sealed the fish guard with his body and placed it in the fish guard. Under an imperceptible willow tree.
After finishing it, he walked to Xiulan and said: "Let's go, I will carry you back."
"Okay!"
Xiulan happily lay on his back, holding a fishing rod in one hand and a bucket of fish in the other. Lin Heng carried her to the car.
At this time, the sun has completely set, but the sky has not turned dark, and there are still some remaining red clouds in the west.
Xiulan lay on Lin Heng's back happily and contentedly, feeling that the wind was gentle and the mountains were affectionate.
After a while, the two came to the car. Xiulan kissed Lin Heng's side of the face before getting off. Lin Heng helped her get into the passenger seat, leaving the fishing rod and fish catch in the back of the car.
The two of them drove quickly towards Hongfeng Village. Night gradually fell. Today was the third day of the seventh lunar month. There was only a little crescent moon in the sky, stars gathered together, and the galaxy hung upside down.
It was extremely dark in the mountains, with insects chirping and frogs chirping in the darkness. From time to time, the sounds of golden roosters and muntjacs could be heard. Although the environment looked a bit scary, the two of them were together so they were not afraid at all and talked all the way back.
It was already 8:10 when I got home. As soon as Lin Heng parked the car, the children ran out to greet them. Caiyun asked from behind: "Second brother and second sister-in-law, have you caught any fish?"
"I caught it. It weighs four to five kilograms in total, but it's nothing. Your sister-in-law got lucky today and caught a super rare mutant grass carp. It's probably the only one in the world." Lin Heng couldn't bear it immediately. Zuxiang said.
"The only mutated grass carp in the world?" Caiyun looked confused.
"Yes, your sister-in-law has already given it to me." Lin Heng said proudly.
"It's not as outrageous as what he said. It's just a blue-purple grass carp, just a little prettier." Xiulan added beside her.
"The blue-purple one, let me see it." Father Lin also came out and asked.
"He's scared to death. He's still being raised by the river. I'm going to get the oxygen bottle before I get it," Xiulan said.
Father Lin was shocked: "Oh my God, is a fish so precious?"
"Of course, Dad, you don't understand at all." Lin Heng shook his head and said. The color of this grass carp is so beautiful. After it is raised, it will be so handsome that it will be kept in a large glass fish tank. Anyone who plays with ornamental fish will envy it.
After taking the children into the house, Lin Heng went to the warehouse to get industrial oxygen bottles and plastic bags specially used for transporting fish.
"I'll go with you. I want to see what kind of fish is so precious." Father Lin said.
"Okay, it's not safe for me to go alone." Lin Heng nodded.
After saying something to his mother, he drove off in the car. When he arrived at the place, Lin Heng took out the fish guard and showed it to his father. After reading it, Father Lin said, "This is indeed strange, but is it really so precious?"
"Of course, you will understand when I raise you later." Lin Heng nodded.
While talking, he filled a plastic bag with a small amount of water, put the fish in it, and then inserted an oxygen tube into the water to release oxygen. After waiting for thirty seconds, it was almost full of oxygen. He pulled the tube out of his pocket and tied it tightly. That's it.
After taking the fish back to the village, he first scooped some water out of the hatching pond and put it into the box, then threw the fish in with the plastic bag to warm it up.
After finishing it, he and his father went over to have dinner. In the evening, Mother Lin cooked noodles and stir-fried some vegetables, and they simply took a bite.
After eating, Lin Heng went to open the bag and put the fish into the water tank. Then he got some potassium permanganate and poured it in for disinfection. After ten minutes, he put it into the large hatching tank.
The hatching pond has been empty since the freshwater shrimp hatched. The water body is very deep and large. It is very safe to raise a fish in it, as long as the anti-jumping net is installed.
"This fish is indeed beautiful." Caiyun said, looking at the fish in the pond.
"What a beautiful little fish!" Xiaoxia also nodded her little head.
"Even if it looks good, there's no need to be so careful." Mother Lin said she couldn't understand it. In her opinion, it was worse than a big grass carp.
"It's okay if you don't understand, but remember to come over often and don't feed me anything for the time being." Lin Heng looked at his parents and said.
Father Lin looked at him and said, "Why don't you buy a big glass fish tank in the city and keep it?" "That won't work. For the time being, the risk is too great." Lin Heng shook his head and said, the water in the fish tank was small and the fish were very small. Accident prone.
The most important thing is that there are no good small water pumps in this era, not even brushless motors. There are still very few entertainment products about these.
After all, only heavy industry had developed in the country at this time, and other industries were still in their infancy.
He also wants to keep it at home so he can watch it every day, but to be on the safe side, he'd better keep it in a big pond for the time being.
"Then let's go home." Xiulan said next to her.
"Okay." Lin Heng nodded and drove back on his tricycle after going out.
The three wheels here were originally given to Lin Hai. He took them back a few days ago and bought a second-hand motorcycle for Lin Heng.
The main reason is that it is very inconvenient for him not to have a short-distance scooter at home. A motorcycle can carry fewer people and is not as good as a three-wheeler.
They took the live crucian carp and the dead Bai Tiao back. The crucian carp was going to be stewed in soup tomorrow, while Bai Tiao was going to Xiaoxia to feed the turtles. The turtles raised in the backyard especially liked to eat small fish.
It was already after nine o'clock when we got home, and the children who were so lively during the day were still swaying and leaning against people, obviously dozing off.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
Xiulan's feet hurt, so Lin Heng poured them water and asked them to wash themselves. After entering the bedroom, he started to put her to sleep.
After the children fell asleep, he took safflower oil and rubbed Xiulan's ankle. The injury was not serious, just a little swollen. When he massaged it, Xiulan shivered in pain and kicked her foot twice. on his face.
"Sleep, sleep, today is perfect."
Lying down, Lin Heng smiled and said with emotion, this beautiful grass carp made him feel that everything was worth it.
"Let's go fishing again in the fall. It's still a bit too hot now." Xiulan looked at him and said.
Lin Heng nodded, and the two chatted for a few words before taking a rest.
When they got up the next morning, Xiulan's feet didn't hurt much. After breakfast, they went to the back mountain to pick some plums. These crispy plums were very delicious, and both adults and children liked them.
Half of the grapes were picked this time, and only a few pears and others were picked. Mainly, my elder brother’s family would also come to pick, and they would keep some.
The sun was still bright today. After lunch, Lin Heng took a hat and went to the pig farm to have a look. After coming back, he went to the fields with his parents to collect mung beans and red beans.
Beating mung beans and red beans can only be done on such a sunny day. If they are not dry enough, it will be difficult to knead the seeds out of the seed clips.
"Son, did you buy Xiaoxia a school bag, books or something?" Father Lin asked while working.
"Everything is bought." Lin Heng nodded.
Mother Lin said from the side: "I heard people say that the education in the city is better. Your household registration has been moved down. Why don't you send your children to go to school?"
"It's all the same. It's not convenient to be down there for now. Let's wait until later." Lin Heng shook his head.
He is not a chicken child. As long as his children have good conduct, it doesn't matter how well they study, especially when they are young. There is no need to put so much pressure on them when they should be happy.
Besides, the reason why he earns so much money is to make things easier for future generations, so everything goes as it should.
Moreover, he feels that under his training, the children have developed the habit of loving reading and have strong concentration, which is enough.
"It's good in the village, you can see it all the time, but you can't see it when you go to the city." Lin's father also said.
Lin Heng nodded, and after working for nearly an hour, they finished harvesting the mung beans and red beans they planted this year, and then broke off some tender corn and returned to the village.
"You guys come and wash your face quickly and eat some watermelon to cool down."
When Xiulan saw them coming back, she quickly asked if she and Caiyun were going too, but Lin Heng stopped them and asked her and Caiyun to take the children to cook.
Caiyun brought ice-cold water. After washing, the three of them sat down to eat ice-cold watermelon.
At this time, Xiulan and the others also brought the rice. The staple food was porridge and steamed buns. The porridge was sweet potato, dried mung bean, red bean and corn porridge. They also mixed some cold vegetables and stir-fried a piece of pickled beans and fried meat.
The porridge had already cooled down, so Lin Heng drank two large bowls and then ate some steamed buns.
"We'll eat snails tomorrow afternoon, and we'll spit out the sand all over them," Xiulan said.
"Okay, let's have a nice meal with cold beer." Lin Heng nodded. They have always loved the snails.
Naturally, Father Lin and Mother Lin didn't have any objections. They didn't leave after dinner and wanted to cool down here.
The weather became a little gloomy and muggy the next day, but in the evening they fried a large pot of snails and sat on the stone table in the yard, eating snails and drinking beer, enjoying the feeling of summer.
The next day, the eldest brother called them again. One was because Caiyun was leaving for school soon, and the other was because the eldest brother shot a pheasant yesterday and invited them to eat game together.
Lin Heng and his elder brother talked about some things at the dinner table, including Murakami and business.
Lin Heng and his eldest brother are now separated. He goes to the city to develop, while the eldest brother develops in the village. No matter who is having a hard time, the other can help.
"By the way, brother, do you know that a Taoist priest came to the village recently?" Lin Yue asked while drinking.
"I've heard of it, but I didn't pay attention. What's wrong?" Lin Heng asked doubtfully.
Lin Yue said: "Then he said that he came from Wudang Mountain. He said that he wanted to rebuild the Taoist temple on the mountain behind our village committee. He wanted the village to help hire people to work for free."
"Then let's build it. I believe many people are willing, right?" Lin Heng asked with a smile.
He was originally an atheist, but his rebirth made him a little confused about this time, but he still would not choose to believe in God. At most, he would look for a good day when he was working, and take his children to offer incense and pray for peace. Ping An Fu or something to play with.
He does not object to the construction of Taoist temples, and feels that they are at least much better than monk temples.
"I donated ten yuan, brother, do you want to donate? It can be regarded as a sign of peace." Lin Yue said again.
"I'll wait until another day to see the Taoist priest's specific situation." Lin Heng thought for a while and said.
After drinking, they came out. The wind in the sky became very strong, and by midnight it started to rain heavily.
The rain came very quickly, from midnight to about nine o'clock in the morning, and the Shiban River was filled with water.
Not an hour after the rain stopped, the sun came out again. The sun was still shining brightly, and people could walk on the dirt road in the afternoon. (End of chapter)
