Wu Li's car was parked at the corner of the big sun valley shared by the village. There were already many people calling their children and grabbing the millet on the mat.
The mute jumped out of the car and went straight to the fifth grandma.
Wu Li rushed to the place where his third uncle was drying corn. Well... he arrived a step too late. The work had already been taken away by his disciples and grandsons.
After saying hello to his third uncle, Wu Li went to help pick up millet for those families who had no labor at home. Wu Li trotted all the way carrying the load of millet. After helping one family, he ran to help another family. This kind of ghost
Regardless of the weather or the strong labor force at home, everyone must help everyone get the millet to a place where it can’t get wet as soon as possible.
After more than 20 minutes, the grain in the big drying field was all emptied, and the rain changed from heavy raindrops to a downpour.
Wu Li braved the rain and returned home. Wearing a raincoat and carrying a hoe, he went around the front and back yards to dig out the areas with poor drainage. With such heavy rain, don't let water accumulate in the front and back yards.
Especially in the backyard, the drainage of ponds and ditches is very important. If you accidentally accumulate water in the backyard, the fish in the pond and the herring, crab, eel, etc. in the two small ponds will run away with the current, and the loss will be huge.
went.
Everything was normal, but the rain was too heavy. Even the water-loving ducks ran into the duck shed to take shelter from the wind. Those big roosters and little hens crowded into the hall and under the eaves, clucking non-stop.
Shake your body and shake the water out of your feathers.
Wu Li looked anxious at the rain outside, but what he was thinking was, should he roast some of the egrets that were sheltering from the rain in the duck shed?
Really, it seems like we still need to keep some ducks and geese here to keep the place occupied. If there is not enough food in the backyard, then we will not be able to attract all the birds and settle down in the backyard.
The rain came and went quickly. After more than half an hour, the rain passed across the sky, and a touch of seven colors hung between the two big mountains in the west.
The rain has stopped, but there is still more than a foot of water accumulated in the front yard, which shows that the rain has been quite heavy.
Wu Li saw fish jumping around in the water from time to time. He didn't know whether it was the fish that took the opportunity to slip out of the pond, or the fish that came into the water ran up along the ditch, and then jumped from the backyard and from the edge of the house.
In the front yard, because there is a small slope at the front yard door that blocks the water from getting out, the water can only be drained from the ditch in the backyard into the creek outside.
The current situation of water flooding the front yard should cease to exist in half an hour.
"Uncle, uncle, my daughter is here." My daughter was riding on my father's neck, and she started shouting before she even entered the courtyard.
"Put me down quickly, Nannan wants to catch fish."
Every time the water rose, there would always be some fish jumping over to Wu Li's front yard. When the rain stopped, my daughter would clamor to come over and catch fish.
"Uncle, let's get the sticky net to block the ditch first. There are a lot of fish in the water." Shuihuzi trotted past the water wearing sandals, and directly took Wu Li to the utility room to get some.
Go to the fishing net.
"Yeah, there are so many fish, let's catch them and grill them at night." As soon as Wu Li took the sticky net out of the utility room, he heard Yu Xiaobei shouting in the yard.
"Wu Li, what are you doing here?" Rich Man Wang was holding a bunch of things in his hand. He was curious when he saw Wu Li holding a net.
"Block the outlet of the ditch. Why are you catching so many quails if the nest is lost?" Wu Li glanced over and saw that the fat man was actually carrying a bunch of live quails.
"Hey, these stupid birds always crowd into the house when it rains, so I just caught a few and roasted them at night. Just go ahead and do your thing, I'll get these birds. Oh, remember
Save some crucian carp and have a barbecue together at night." The rich man Wang only has two hobbies. Apart from making money and eating, most of them lack other interests.
"I don't have a barbecue grill here, how about setting up a fire to grill it?" Wu Li was already very immune to the fat man's obsession with eating.
"Hey, don't worry about this. I brought a set of things in the trunk. Your task is to prepare more vegetables for the barbecue." Fatty Wang obviously came prepared.
"You're a foodie, let's get down to business first. We'll wait until the water recedes and all the fish are caught before we come back to fix anything else." Wu Li stopped nagging and hurriedly went to the backyard to block the water outlet with bare feet.
When several girls saw so many fish in the yard, they were already shouting and bending over to catch fish and touch shrimps.
Wu Li and his eldest brother Wu Shan blocked the net towards the exit and fixed both sides on the wooden stakes left before. Wu Li jumped into the muddy ditch. The water was a little deep, so Wu Li simply jumped in.
In the water, the net was compacted with mud, so that there was no way for the fish inside to get out from underneath.
After Wu Li set up the fishing net, he got up and checked the ponds on both sides of the sewer again. Fortunately, he had prepared for a flood at that time and made the weir quite high. The drainage outlet was also wide enough and covered with fir branches.
We are quickly draining water into the ditch. The water in the pool is still more than a foot high from the shore, so we are safe.
Seeing that there was nothing going on here, Wu Li and Wu Shan went to the hall, each carried a big bucket, filled it with some water, and the other hand held a small fishing net to pick up fish.
There is no need to join in the fun in the front yard. In the vegetable field in the back yard, I just saw a lot of big grass carps running around in the ditch.
"Xiao Li, I said this year is really evil. Why are there so many big fish in the ground? The water in the pond is not full yet. These can't be fish jumping out of the pond." Wu Shan made a move and fished the net.
A large gray-backed red-finned river carp weighing five to six kilograms was caught in the net, and he poured it into the bucket.
"Hey, I saw that these are wild fish in the river. I didn't expect that when it rained, God would give us some small fortunes." Wu Li felt his hands sink, and he actually fished them out.
A ten-pound bighead carp
You can save this fish and make a fish head with chopped pepper tomorrow. If the fish is deep-fried, it will taste better. If you cook the bighead carp meat, it will not taste very good.
Apart from the head, the big-headed fish really doesn’t have an edible head, and it has many fine thorns. Rural people don’t care much about this fish.
In the countryside, the most popular ones are of course fried and boiled grass carp, steamed and braised, you can make it any way you like, dried fish and fried with steamed black bean and chili, the taste is also quite good.
The second most popular fish is carp, followed by crucian carp.
Within a few minutes, the bucket was filled with more than half of the fish. Wu Li carried it and walked to the front yard, first pouring the fish into the big tank in the front yard.
ps: The collection is just a cup of flowers. I don’t know if they are for eating or for smashing in the face.
