Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 33 Digging a Fish Pond

As soon as Lin Heng and Xiulan left, sister-in-law Liu Juan was left awkwardly in the room.

Father Lin glanced at her: "I asked you to speak less, but you don't listen. You should be generous."

After saying that, he walked out on his own. Liu Juan was doing this on her own.

Even if you talk about Lin Heng behind his back, you are often irritable in front of him. Is it possible that he still expects us to help you when he is quarreling with you now?

"Daughter-in-law, please give Lin Heng some slack and say less in the future." Lin Yue glanced at his wife and persuaded with a smile.

"Are you taking care of me? I washed and cooked for you for free and gave birth to three sons, you white-eyed wolf!!"

Upon hearing her husband's words, Liu Juan became angry, turned her face and went into her room.

Lin Yue looked innocent. Aren't we discussing things carefully? Why did I become a white-eyed wolf?

"Hey!" He sighed, picked up the note, smoked a piece of welding smoke and walked out.

Mother Lin shook her head. There was a huge difference between the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law.

Lin Heng came to the vegetable garden outside. Now the vegetables have been moved to other fields, and some of the soil on the ground has been treated.

After looking at the spring again, Lin Heng decided to make a stream ecological landscaping here, similar to a stream. After raising grass carp fry, he could also raise some small fish, koi and the like.

When you have nothing to do, you can also adjust the fish here.

After careful planning, Lin Heng planned to use [-] square meters of the backyard to make an ecological fish pond. First, he had to dig out the spring and make it into a well.

Then the water in the well is diverted to a secondary reservoir, and then a stream is made from this secondary reservoir to lead the water to a large fish pond. Finally, the water is discharged through a water outlet connected to the large fish pond. Drain out.

There is no need to do swamp filtration or the like, because this is an ecological fish pond with a water source, which allows the water to flow continuously. It is living water and does not need to be swamp filtered for recycling.

After thinking about the general appearance, Lin Heng used a wooden stick to draw a line on the ground. After some attempts, he was finally satisfied.

I went back to the house and shoveled some plant ash to use as white ash and sprinkled it on the mark. Then I just built according to the mark.

At this time, Father Lin came to the field with an old man. The old man in yellow was holding a compass and other tools in his hand. He was obviously a Feng Shui master.

"Lin Heng, this is your uncle." Father Lin introduced.

"Hello, uncle, you look really tough." Lin Heng grinned and flattered him a little.

"Shi Feng, you look much more stable than when you got married." The old man in yellow said with a smile.

Shi Feng is Lin Heng's nickname. The reason is that when he was a child, he worshiped a big stone and recognized the stone as his godfather, hence the name.

Because he was always sick when he was a child, people at this time believed that if you choose a stone as your godfather, your life will become hardened and you will be less likely to get sick.

"Uncle, I want to dig this spring deeper and build a fish pond. What do you think?" Lin Heng pointed at the small spring behind him and asked with a smile.

When his uncle saw the spring, he nodded and said, "Okay, this is a good thing. Water brings wealth. It's a good idea to turn it into a pool and circle it in the yard. I'll give you a detailed look later."

The old man nodded, and then looked at the direction of the house. Lin Heng's house had mountains behind it and a river in front. It must be a good place.

"Uncle, can I expand this spring now?" Lin Heng asked again.

"This is originally a small beach. You can only move here. You have to wait until the eighth day to move other places."

The old man in yellow looked at it, nodded and said.

"Okay." As soon as Lin Heng saw that he could move, he went back to find his elder brother Lin Yue.

"Brother, take the tools and help me dig a well." Lin Heng shouted. "Can we break ground today?" The eldest brother Lin Yue looked at him.

"Okay, I asked my uncle, and he said it's okay to just move the spring." Lin Heng nodded.

"There's nothing to do, let's go dig." The eldest brother Lin Yue nodded, took a shovel, pickaxe, and hoe and walked out with Lin Heng.

Lin Heng held a water ladle made of gourd and a wooden basin.

First scoop out all the water in the beach, then dig with a hoe and shovel the soil.

Lin Heng's idea is to dig a well with a diameter of [-] meters, and the depth will depend on the situation. The water in the well can be eaten by people, and then it will be connected to the secondary reservoir and then connected to the stream ecological fish pond.

While digging, the two chatted.

Lin Yue said that he should drink less tonight and go catch eels.

"Lin Heng, your sister-in-law is like that, don't worry about it." Suddenly, the eldest brother Lin Yue said with a smile.

"Brother, you think too much. Why should I take it seriously? I understand your difficulty." Lin Heng smiled and shook his head.

He and his eldest brother are only two years apart. They grew up together. They caught fish together, poisoned fish, stole corn and soybeans from others, got beaten together, and fought together.

Even if they sometimes fight and get angry with each other, it soon gets over and they are all thinking about each other.

In his previous life, when he took on a high loan of [-] yuan, his eldest brother often helped him despite the abuse from his sister-in-law.

Therefore, even if the eldest brother prefers the eldest sister-in-law, he won't care if they talk to him together. He believes that the brotherhood between the two will not change.

"Haha, I feel relieved if you think so. We will continue to teach those eels a lesson tonight as before."

When his eldest brother Lin Yue heard this, he smiled and patted Lin Heng on the shoulder. He didn't want to go far away from Lin Heng because of other things, but he had no choice but to worry.

The resentment he felt during the days when Lin Heng was fooling around was because he resented Lin Heng for not living up to expectations, not because of other things.

"That's necessary." Lin Heng chuckled.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that my eldest brother dropped out of school after primary school and let him go to junior high school. This kindness was enough to prevent him from getting angry with his sister-in-law.

The reason why I said that in the morning was because I wanted to make my sister-in-law angry, but I didn't take it seriously at all.

While chatting, we shoveled the soil and soon dug more than one meter deep. Several small springs with water seepage were exposed, and streams of water as thick as a thumb flowed from the mountain.

"First divert the water away and continue digging."

The two took off their shirts, dug a ditch from the side, diverted the water away, and continued digging from the side.

It took more than three hours to complete a well with a diameter of [-] meters and a depth of [-] meters. The tired two people were sweating profusely.

"This place is really rich in groundwater." Lin Heng said with emotion.

After digging deeper, three springs appeared, all with a diameter of four to five centimeters. The water did not flow out very quickly, but it was a steady stream. No wonder this land is always wet.

"In the afternoon, we will find stones to build a circle in the well to separate the loess on the wall. The well will almost be ready."

Lin Yue nodded. The well was completed. Less water would seep out, and his brother's house would be much drier.
