After Niu Erhua left, Huang Guiying couldn't wait to jump down with the basket and returned to her place. Su Tangxue went to tell the team leader about this matter before coming back.
It's hot now, and you'll sweat even if you stay under the shade of a tree. In the canal, you can not only catch fish but also play in the water, which is much more fun than going home.
Seeing Lu Qinglin standing there stupidly, Su Tangxue pulled at his trouser leg and asked, "Why don't you come down and play for a while?"
Lu Qinglin didn't rush to reply. Instead, he looked at Fang Qi, who was standing in the pond, and shook his head. "No, the captain will call for help soon."
"What do you call him? Hasn't he already dug it up?"
The dam has been dug and the water is flowing into the canal. What else needs to be done?
"The captain said that the water in the pond should be drained tomorrow, and I have to go expand the dam later."
Su Tangxue nodded, not quite understanding. "Then why don't you go stay under the tree for a while! It's hot out, don't get a heatstroke."
Lu Qinglin felt sweet in his heart when he heard this. Just when he was about to bend down and say a few more words to her, Su Tangxue had already turned around and gone to do some fishing.
In the end, he had no choice but to stand under a tree nearby and wait for her to call him if she needed anything.
The water was now rising higher and higher, reaching above her knees. The canal was filled with people all the way down. Some of them had quick eyes and accurate hands, and before long, a basket was filled with fish.
Her fighting spirit was ignited at that moment, and she began to bend down and try hard to catch the fish.
"Xiaoxue, did you see my dustpan just now?"
Huang Guiying groped in the water and didn't find her winnowing basket, so she asked curiously.
Su Tangxue just remembered that she had put Aunt Huang's dustpan by the canal because she was afraid that it would be washed away by the water.
Maybe Aunt Huang was in a hurry to go into the water to catch fish and didn't notice it at all.
"Auntie, why did you take so long? I had no reason to kick Niu Erhua out since he took your place."
Hearing Su Tangxue talk about this, Aunt Huang blushed a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, Xiaoxue, I wanted to go fish, but the baby fell asleep, and I thought it would be bad to take her fishing, so I went home."
Su Tangxue listened and nodded, "I'm glad nothing happened."
As long as he's safe, that's enough. I'm just worried that he might have encountered something along the way after not coming back for such a long time.
"I heard from Qinglin that we're going to dig a pond soon?"
"Yes, that's what he said just now."
The two people were chatting quietly, and with the sound of running water, basically only the other person could hear their voices.
"That's great!" Huang Guiying said excitedly.
"What's good about it?"
Huang Guiying first looked around, making sure no one was paying attention to her, then she leaned in close and whispered, "Xiaoxue, you're back from the city, don't you know the benefits of digging a pond? The water in that pond has been pumped out, and the remaining big fish and some local products are hidden in it! Those are all treasures."
Su Tangxue nodded with a half-understanding. Before she came here, she lived in the city. Even after entering this body, she still didn't understand these things.
She just came to know that the pond was releasing water, and she came to pick up the leak only when Aunt Huang came to inform her.
For the villagers, digging a pond was as important as distributing pork at the village entrance. Every household was short of food and clothing, and they would do their best to get some free oil.
But we can’t tell every household about digging the pond, otherwise they will just come and guard the pond and not even go to work, just like Niu Erhua.
Therefore, the canal in the village had been repaired long ago, but the team leader did not give the order until today, and only then did he call for the sudden men to come and dig it.
