After cleaning, she took out the pot of sauerkraut left over from yesterday and heated it up. She also steamed a bun for herself, scooped it into a bowl and brought it into the house to eat.
After dinner, she sat on the kang and read for a while before getting up and going to the pharmacy to cut some medicinal herbs that were almost used up in the past few days.
She was busy until the evening. She cooked herself a bowl of noodles, finished her dinner, washed up and went into the space.
She didn't run today. Instead, she harvested the ripe crops in the space land and stored them in storage, and then planted the seeds under her mind control.
After finishing the crops, I went to the animals and used my mind to catch all the grown-up animals in the pen. Then I threw the chickens into the house to process them all. I also prepared all the seasonings for pickling and put them all in large plastic barrels. After pickling for a few days, I hung them up to dry, or I could use firewood to smoke them into bacon.
A large number of animals were slaughtered, and the enclosure became much looser. Otherwise, it would have been too crowded with too many animals.
After marinating the animal meat and putting it on, she went to the gym to exercise on various equipment for a while, then went out to take a shower and then read a book.
She did not go out of the space to sleep at night. When she entered the space, she did not add firewood to the kang. She just thought about sleeping in the space at night and cleaning the ashes in the kang stove before making a fire the next day.
I slept very comfortably that night. It had been a while since I slept in a space. I finally got a night's sleep and it was quite comfortable.
The next day, Tong Yiya cooked herself a soup with the meatballs she had fried yesterday. It was very delicious. The meatballs can be steamed, fried, or cooked into soup. They will taste good no matter how you cook them.
She stayed at home for another two days. Early in the morning, Aunt Guihua came over with a bucket and called her. Before she even entered the house, she heard her shouting, "Tong Zhiqing, come out quickly. Let's go to the reservoir to release water and catch fish with the other people in the team."
Tong Yiya got up when she heard the sound, went to open the gate, and when she saw Aunt Guihua, she smiled and asked, "Aunt, the water in the reservoir is not frozen today, how can we catch fish?"
"Oh, it's the water surface that's frozen. Every year we put the fish from the outlet into the small pond below, and use a net bag to catch the fish at the outlet, and then we can net the fish," Aunt Osmanthus explained with a smile.
"So that's how it is. Then wait for me to change my clothes and you come in and sit for a while." Tong Yiya said as she took the bucket from her hand and put it beside the door of the yard, then pulled the person into the yard, closed the door, and led the person into the house.
Tong Yiya found an old set of cotton-padded clothes and trousers, went to change into them next door, took the bucket, and went out with Aunt Guihua, walking towards the reservoir.
The reservoir is not far from their home. It is just behind the villagers' house across the road and only takes five or six minutes to walk there.
When they arrived, quite a few villagers were already standing there. Tong Yiya and Aunt Guihua could guess from the loud shouts of the people in front of them that the fish in the reservoir were doing well this year.
The two men walked to the front of the crowd and could see the situation clearly. The reservoir was already releasing water. They saw that a lot of fish had been caught in the net bag in front. The fish were very energetic and were swinging their bodies desperately in the net bag.
There were also many villagers who used their own small nets to catch the fish that slipped through the edge of the big net. Most of these fish were smaller fish, and they were able to escape from the edge because of their small bodies and poor flexibility.
Aunt Guihua saw that there were quite a few fish that had escaped, so she took Tong Yiya to find Uncle Deng Wu, saying as they walked, "I think those small fish that escaped are pretty good. Your Uncle Wu brought a net with him, let's ask him to get some."
Tong Yiya was very confused. Aren't all the fish that are caught handed in? They would be weighed together and then divided among them. She didn't understand so she asked, "Aunt, don't all the fish that are caught need to be handed in?"
“No need. The fish we caught are all small. As long as they are less than half a pound, we don’t have to hand them in for a while. We have to be quick, otherwise the water will run out and it will be difficult to catch them in the small pond,” Aunt Osmanthus said, taking bigger steps forward.
After her explanation, Tong Yiya understood. She thought that since her network couldn't be handed over, then she could do it, so she quickened her pace to catch up with Aunt Guihua.
After a while, the two found Uncle Deng and took a net bag from him. Aunt Guihua then borrowed a net bag from a family that didn't go fishing and promised to give them five small fish as a reward.
The two of them took the net bag and the wooden barrel and went to the water outlet of the reservoir. The water there was rushing, and there were only a few brave young people fishing there. The two of them put down the bucket and went forward to fish, without competing with others. They took turns to fish, and each person fished for a while without any disputes.
After a while, each of them caught ten small fish, all weighing about one or two taels. They were taking the small fish back home to raise and to have them as a dish during the New Year.
The two did not stop, and went back and forth at the drain to fish. The water had been draining for more than an hour. Each of them caught half a wooden barrel. When they left with the nets, they asked the village chief to check on them. Only when they found no big fish did they let them go with the barrels.
Tong Yiya went to return the borrowed net bag and specially picked out five larger fish as a thank you gift. The family was very happy to receive the fish.
Tong Yiya and Aunt Guihua were not in a hurry to go home, as they still had to wait for the fish to be divided. They had already started weighing and packing the fish. Once the weight was calculated and the fish were handed in, they would distribute them to the villagers first. Then the team leader and the old man driving the ox cart would take a few people to deliver the fish to the commune.
After handing in these fish, you can get small fish fry for free in the spring of next year. This is what we do every year.
There are three villages in the Reservoir Qianjin Brigade, and each village has a reservoir, so the distribution of fish is different from that of pigs. There are only about thirty households in their village, and the fish are divided equally among the villagers of each village.
Soon the fish were weighed, a total of 675 kilograms. Half of it, 337 kilograms, was sent to the commune, and the rest was distributed among the 36 households in the village.
This time the fish were distributed according to each family's work points. In the end, Tong Yiya got three fish, each weighing about three pounds.
When she got the fish, Aunt Guihua's family had already received their share. Because two people in their family were working, they got one more fish than she did. The total weight of the fish was about ten kilograms.
Tong Yiya knew that she was able to get so much because she was the barefoot doctor in the village. Otherwise, with her work points alone, two awards would have been too much.
Uncle Deng had already gone back with the fish and buckets. Aunt Guihua was still waiting for Tong Yiya. When she saw that she had finished dividing the fish, she came over and said, "Your uncle took the fish home first, so let's take your fish home and raise them as well."
"Well, please wait for me," Tong Yiya said
"It's no trouble. Let me hold the fish for you and you carry the bucket," Aunt Guihua said as she took the fish from her hand and asked her to carry the bucket. Then they went home.
They arrived at the courtyard in a short while. Tong Yiya put all the fish directly in the water tank outside. It should be fine to put a clapperboard on it.
