She took out the bicycle hidden in the grass, hung the basket on the front of the bicycle, and started riding towards the mountain.
When I got home, Lu Qinglin had gone nowhere and only my grandmother was sitting under the eaves in a daze.
Su Tangxue picked up a yellowed cucumber, washed it, and gave two to her grandmother to eat.
After she finished her meal, she was just about to go back to her room and lie down when Huang Guiying came over holding her little daughter.
Huang Guiying saw Su Tangxue and hurriedly pulled her, "Xiaoxue, hurry up, grab the basket and follow Auntie."
The sun was a little strong today, and she felt dizzy. She didn't know what was going on, so she stopped as she walked into the house.
"What's wrong, auntie?"
"Today the team leader led the men to dig ditches to water the crops in the fields!"
Su Tangxue still didn't understand what was going on. "Are we going too?"
In her impression, isn't it only for those who work in the fields?
Huang Guiying knew that Su Tangxue used to live in the city and didn't know the customs here, so she patiently explained it to her.
"There was a severe drought this year, and all the ditches we had dug before were dry. The crops in the fields were in short supply, and it was too much trouble for people to fetch water, so we just dug the ditches deeper."
"What happened next?" She was still confused and didn't understand.
"You guys from the city don't know this, but digging ditches is like getting free fish." Huang Guiying continued, "Quick, Xiaoxue, go get a basket and a dustpan and come with me to catch the fish."
It is easy to dig ditches now that the weather is hot. It will be difficult to start construction when the water temperature becomes cold in winter. It will also be inconvenient to dig water in the spring of next year.
Su Tangxue picked up her things and followed Huang Guiying happily.
There is a pond in the village. The water in the pond used to be brought from the river, but now the water is brought from the pond by digging a ditch.
When she and Huang Guiying arrived, there were already many people standing around the pond, including old people, children, and Li Tiechui, whom she had just met. Most importantly, she saw Lu Qinglin.
I saw him holding a hoe, following a group of men, waving it vigorously, and the people on the shore holding winnowing baskets were looking at him eagerly.
As long as the water flow beside the pond is dug, the water in the pond will flow along the ditch dug in advance into the canal in the field.
The fish in the pond also flow down with the current. That's why everyone is waiting on both sides of the pond. They want to take advantage of the gaps in the current to catch a few fish to satisfy their hunger.
Li Tiechui saw her and came over to greet her happily, "Sister, are you here to catch fish too?"
Su Tangxue nodded, "Yes."
She had just separated from these little brats not long ago, but she didn't expect that they were more informed than her.
In the era before mobile phones, everything could arouse children's interest.
As the sound of hoes hitting the ground came, everyone stared at the wall of the pool. When the last hoe was dug down, the water in the pool began to flow down.
When the people around saw this, their eyes lit up and they swarmed up to grab the best position.
Huang Guiying, who was beside her, saw this and quickly pulled her hand and tried to go up.
"Wait, auntie."
"What's wrong, Xiaoxue? If you don't hurry up, all the good spots will be taken."
There is only a small opening. If you don't hurry up, the space will be taken by others.
How many pairs of eyes are looking at us eagerly around us!
