Chapter 136: Everyone has a bright future

Ordinary people rowing a tire to set six nets like this would take at least two hours. Li Long only used about half an hour to finish setting the nets, and then rowed the tire back to the shore.

His body wasn't wet, only his shoes were stained with some water. This process was much more beautiful compared to yesterday!

"Brother Long, you are too amazing!" Tao Daqiang gave a thumbs up, praising sincerely, "That skill of setting nets—I estimate I won't be able to learn it in my whole life..."

This was the truth.

After ten or twenty years, villagers had spare money, and quite a few families about the same age as Li Long set up nets, not to sell fish, but to have a harvest, change the taste of cooking, after all, it's idle anyway.

But those who can row a tire with both hands and set nets with their mouths, adding up the whole village, don't exceed five people.

Of course, Li Long had seen even more amazing ones, directly casting nets on wooden boats in the big sea. Many people know how to cast nets on the shore, but on a boat, you have to borrow the momentum of the boat, combine the strength of the body, waist, and feet, not only to cast the net open but also to stand firmly without being shaken down, that's not ordinary.

After all, this is the Northern Frontier, not a place where fishermen are prevalent like in the interior.

Listening to Tao Daqiang's praise, Li Long was also a bit proud, saying with a smile:

"Practice more and it will be fine. When the water is not so cold, you sit on the tire and practice more, and you will be able to practice it. Let's go, let's find a place to cast the net."

With yesterday's lesson, Li Long and they circled around the Little Haizi to find a suitable position for casting the net. After all, if there are many reed roots under the water, hanging the net, it's really not easy to retrieve.

It's not that it can't be retrieved, it's just that there's no need to cause that trouble.

They found a pit on the edge pushed out by a bulldozer for reinforcing the dam during the dry season. Li Long shook the cast net well, tied the rope to his wrist, grabbed the lower net, and then organized the upper net in handfuls from the bottom to the top of the cast net for about a meter. Both hands were gripped well. Looking at the position, he silently estimated, combined the strength of his body and waist, and cast the net out in a wave shape.

When casting the net, the nets in the hand must go out in order, not all at once, otherwise it will be cast into a straight line.

Li Long's feeling was very good, but watching the net shake open in the air, and finally the shape of the water landing was the shape of the moon on the tenth day of the first lunar month, he still felt a bit regretful.

But it was not bad, at least the beginning was good.

"Brother Long, this net of yours was cast very well, the best I cast yesterday was only half of yours." Tao Daqiang said.

Li Long suddenly discovered that Tao Daqiang was also quite good at flattering.

Turned his head and looked, finding his face was sincere. Oh, it turned out to be the truth.

After all the nets landed in the water, Li Long slowly began to pull the rope, and then felt the net shaking.

There were fish.

The net eyes were relatively small, so neither big nor small fish could run away. After Li Long pulled the net up, he saw all kinds of fish in it, big ones had silver carp weighing more than a kilogram, medium ones actually had two large crucian carp weighing more than five hundred grams, and there were more than ten palm-sized crucian carp, as well as more than ten ditch fish, which was that kind of plateau flower loach.

Good harvest!

Li Long was very satisfied.

Tao Daqiang hurriedly came over, took the bag and began to pick up the fish. While picking, he said with a smile:

"These ditch fish are really good, the big ones are as long as chopsticks, this must have grown for two or three years, right?"

"Two or three years can't grow, at least five years." Li Long said while organizing the net, "Such ditch fish will be less and less in the future."

"Why will it be less and less? Shouldn't it be more and more?" Tao Daqiang picked up the fish, and then poured some water into the bag, and then asked somewhat puzzled.

"In the future, there will be floods coming to wash it from time to time. One day if the Little Haizi dam is washed away, then it will be impossible for the ditch fish to grow so big in the future." "Not very likely, right? This Little Haizi is washed by floods every year, and I haven't seen any time when the dam can be washed away."

Even Tao Daqiang didn't believe it, it seems others would believe it even less.

But the fact is that the major flood happened two years later, not only washing away the Little Haizi dam but also flooding the nearby farmland, and the flood finally rushed into the residential area. If it weren't for the fact that most of the houses in the residential area were padded with a lot of soil when laying the foundation, padding the homestead high, I'm afraid many families would have been flooded.

During that time, Li Juan and Li Qiang were carried out of the village by Li Jianguo when they went to school.

Looking through the reeds to the west of the Little Haizi, the laborers in the village were digging soil between the dry ditch and the dry canal. Maybe it could really avoid the disaster brought by that major flood.

Adjusting the cast net, Li Long cast a net in another direction.

Maybe because the previous net was cast relatively well, making Li Long somewhat conceited, this net only cast a semicircle, and after landing in the water, he was somewhat embarrassed.

Heaven really favors novices. Once you claim to be a master, you have to suffer a blow.

There were still more than ten ditch fish in this net, and seven or eight crucian carp slices, but there was only one big fish, a grass carp stick weighing about one kilogram. This scale of fish was not liked by anyone in the village, the body was round, not easy to taste, so it was not as popular as crucian carp.

Next, Li Long adjusted the position for every net, the fish cast out were many or few, but the shape of the net cast out, the best was the first net.

!.

Tao Daqiang also tried it, the result was that the best was half a net, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't expand it, and there were more straight lines. However, even if it was a straight line, there were fish in the nets dragged up in the end.

Li Long had to sigh, now that there are few people and much land, the resources are really rich.

When the sun was about to set, the two of them, one carrying the net and one carrying the tire, planned to walk back. At this time, those laborers clearing the canal had also finished the afternoon's labor and were returning to the village.

Li Long met several people of the same age—Tian Siping, Qin Hongyan, etc.

Xu Haijun, who often took them to play, went to be a soldier. Wu Shufen taught in the first grade of the village primary school, Gu Xiaoxia went to the middle school to be a teacher and got the commodity grain as she wished. Gu Ermao was still an apprentice of a truck driver, while Qin Hongyan and Tian Siping stayed in the village and became genuine farmers.

Everyone has a bright future.

Li Long remembered that more than thirty years later, cooperatives appeared in the village, and Tian Siping and the others each had more than one hundred thousand dividends every year, which was considered a decent "retirement." At that time, they often posted barbecue, travel, and flowers and plants in the courtyard in their circle of friends.

And currently, only Li Long, this "second-rate guy" who was called neglecting proper work behind the backs of the parents of these people of the same age, didn't earn work points, only knew how to catch fish and hunt all day, but was the one who lived the most freely in the eyes of Tian Siping and the others.

Even in their eyes, Tao Daqiang lived better than them.

Li Long and Tao Daqiang stood on the Little Haizi dam, watching these people working in the village pass by in front of them one by one like a general inspecting soldiers, occasionally greeting familiar people.

Until Li Jianguo and Gu Bo Yuan walked over side by side, looking at Li Long and Tao Daqiang standing there, and shouted:

"What are you doing, standing there stupidly? Why don't you go home quickly?"

Li Long and Tao Daqiang heard it, so they obediently joined the team and walked toward the brigade talking and laughing with everyone.

Ask everyone if there are any monthly tickets?
