Dig out the mold of the pond, lay a layer of wet sand on the bottom of the pond, lay a special waterproof liner for the pond in the dug pond, fix it with stones around it, and fill it with water.
Finally cover the edge of the liner with stones.
…
It took several days for several people to finish the work, but Xiao Xiao finished it in almost one morning.
There are still some final improvements.
Make the pond look more beautiful and natural, integrating with the entire yard.
…
However, the big part has been completed, and the remaining piecemeal adjustments can be slowly improved later.
…
"Xiao-"
Mother Xiao's voice suddenly stopped as she walked out of the house and wanted to ask Xiaoxiao to eat, and her mouth opened a little wider unconsciously.
…
Under the white plum tree, which was still empty in the morning, there was already a pond.
The sun shines through the branches of the white plum blossoms, and the water ripples with sparkling lights, reflecting the flourishing flower scene above.
"it's beautiful!"
Mother Xiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
…
"mom."
Xiao Xiao turned his head and looked at Xiao's mother with a bright smile, "How is it? Not bad, right?"
…
"good."
Mother Xiao nodded frequently, "Very good."
"Xiaoxiao, is this really all your fault?"
"One morning?"
…
"Is there anyone else here besides me?"
Xiao Xiao was a little amused by Xiao's mother's question.
…
Of course Xiao's mother knew.
However, the scene before her eyes really made her feel a little incredible.
Isn't this too fast?
…
"Xiao-"
Father Xiao's voice stopped suddenly.
The expression and reaction were very similar to Mother Xiao just now.
…
This is probably the tacit understanding cultivated by husband and wife during their long life together, right?
Xiao Xiao had a smile on his face.
…
"What's wrong?"
Behind them, Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao stepped forward a little strangely.
Immediately, the two old men were also stunned.
"This this……"
…
"Xiaoxiao, you did this all by yourself?!"
Father Xiao was stunned.
Isn’t this too efficient?
…
"Yes, our son spent a whole morning making it."
Seeing the expressions of Xiao's father and others, Xiao's mother, who had already recovered, said somewhat proudly, "Aren't you awesome?"
…
"awesome!"
The Xiao family’s grandma praised her repeatedly, “Xiao Xiao is really amazing!”
"Much better than your grandfather and father!"
…
Grandpa Xiao and Dad Xiao, who were lying innocently on the other side:...
If you praise your grandson, just praise your grandson, why should you involve them?
…
Everyone walked around the two newly built ponds by Xiao Xiao, clicking their tongues and admiring them endlessly.
"it's beautiful."
"It's so beautiful."
"Sure enough, it will be different if there is a pond in the yard."
"It looks like a garden."
…
The Xiao family looked at Xiao Xiao with a somewhat strange look.
Although I know that this child has always been stable and worry-free, since I told him to leave it to him, I am sure to do this.
However, they never knew that this child's hands-on ability was so strong?!
...
The child who always sat quietly in his seat, holding a teacup, drinking tea, and reading a book has really grown up.
For a moment, the Xiao family felt a little emotional.
...
Xiao Xiao smiled bitterly.
Did he seem unreliable before?
It was just a pond dug, and his parents, grandparents, and grandparents all had such happy expressions, which really made him dumbfounded.
...
"Okay, let's go eat first."
"You can see the pool every day from now on."
Mother Xiao showed her usual gentle smile, "But if you don't eat the food, it will get cold."
...
After lunch, Xiao Xiao rested for a while and then went back to the work of digging the pond.
...
Practice makes perfect, and it took Xiao Xiao less time to complete the pond under the sycamore tree.
...
When the Xiao family walked to the yard at night, they found that the yard had changed drastically.
On both sides of the yard, under the white plum tree and the sycamore tree, there are two ponds, one large and one small, surrounded by pebbles.
It was twilight at this time, and as the sun set in the west, the pool seemed to have been poured with paint, reflecting a beautiful skylight and cloud shadow.
...
The white plum blossoms on one side are as elegant as ever.
The petals, which are like mutton-fat white jade, reveal a faint shimmer.
In the midst of thick ink and heavy colors, it still maintains the purity of pure white.
...
"This is......"
After finally recovering from the thickly painted picture, she noticed that the plants around the pond looked familiar.
...
"They are potted flowers and plants in the yard."
Xiao Xiao confirmed Mother Xiao's guess, "I transplanted them around the pond."
...
"good."
Grandpa Xiao smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Xiao Xiao is awesome."
"How well done these two pools are."
...
"That's right, grandma's grandson is certainly great."
Grandma Xiao's face was as bright and cheerful as a child's pride.
"it's beautiful!"
The old lady couldn't stop praising her, "You can actually make such a beautiful pool by yourself. Xiaoxiao is really amazing!"
...
"Xiao Xiao, you did a good job."
Father Xiao patted his son's shoulder hard, with a look of pride on his face.
...
"Thanks."
Xiao Xiao smiled, "It's just that if you continue to praise me like this, I will feel embarrassed."
...
"What are you embarrassed about?"
Grandma Xiao said cheerfully, "That's how awesome my grandson is!"
...
Xiao Xiao shrugged helplessly.
Xiao's mother laughed for a while, then helped her son "solve the situation" and changed the topic.
"Xiaoxiao, where are the fish you want to raise?"
"Oh, there are also frogs, right?"
"Won't you put it in?"
...
"It's already been put in."
Xiao Xiao gave an answer that surprised everyone.
...
"Ah, has it been put in?"
Xiao's mother squatted on the edge of the pond and looked more carefully.
But......
Her questioning eyes fell on Father Xiao who was squatting next to her, "Did you see it?"
...
Father Xiao frowned, his face almost touching the water.
The newly poured water in the pool is crystal clear, and the situation underneath can be seen at a glance.
Where are the fish?
Not to mention frogs.
...
"What's wrong?"
Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao bent down to look at the pool, their eyes narrowed involuntarily.
...
The two old people were old, so naturally they couldn't squat down and watch like Father Xiao and Mother Xiao did.
...
"ah!"
Xiao's mother called out softly, which immediately attracted the attention of others.
"What's wrong? Did you see the fish?"
Father Xiao asked anxiously.
...
"No."
Xiao's mother shook her head. She turned to look at Xiao Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, this wood is quite good."
...
Everyone:......
"That's dead wood."
Xiao Xiao introduced with a smile, "I also bought some duckweed and water plants."
"This way the pool won't look so empty."
...
"ah!"
Mother Xiao called softly again.
...
"What's wrong with you?"
Father Xiao asked helplessly, thinking that Mother Xiao was in the same situation as before.
