Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

Chapter 33 Digging a Fish Pond



After Lin Heng and Xiulan left, the eldest sister-in-law Liu Juan was left in the room, feeling awkward.

Father Lin glanced at her and said, "I told you to talk less, but you didn't listen. You should be generous."

He walked out on his own. Liu Juan deserved it.

It's fine if you talk about Lin Heng behind his back, but you are also often sarcastic in front of him. Now that he is talking back at you, do you expect us to help you?

"Wife, please give in to Lin Heng and talk less in the future." Lin Yue glanced at his wife and persuaded her with a smile.

"You are controlling me? I wash clothes and cook for you for nothing, and I gave birth to three sons, you ungrateful bastard!!"

Hearing her husband's words, Liu Juan was directly angry, and went into her room with a frown.

Lin Yue looked innocent. We were discussing things properly, so why did I become an ungrateful bastard?

"Ah!" He sighed, picked up the note, smoked a cigarette and walked out.

Mother Lin shook her head. There was a big difference between the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law.

Lin Heng came to the vegetable garden outside. Now the vegetables have been moved to other fields, and the soil on the ground has been processed.

After looking at the spring again, Lin Heng decided to make a stream ecological landscape here, making it similar to a stream. After raising grass carp fry, he can also raise some small fish, koi, etc.

He is free and has nothing to do, so he can also adjust the small fish here.

After careful planning, Lin Heng plans to take out 50 square meters of the backyard to make an ecological fish pond. First, dig out the spring and make a well.

Then divert the water in the well to a secondary reservoir, and then make a stream from this secondary reservoir to divert the water to a large fish pond. Finally, the water is discharged through an outlet connected to the large fish pond.

There is no need to do swamp filtration or the like, because this is an ecological fish pond with a water source, which can keep the water flowing. It is living water and does not need to be swamp filtered for recycling.

After thinking of the general shape, Lin Heng took a wooden stick and drew lines on the ground. After some attempts, he was finally satisfied.

He went back to the house and shoveled some wood ash as white ash to make marks, and then built according to the marks.

At this time, Lin's father came to the field with an old man. The old man in yellow clothes was holding a compass and some tools in his hand. He was obviously a Feng Shui master.

"Lin Heng, this is your uncle." Lin's father introduced.

"Hello, uncle, you look really tough." Lin Heng grinned and flattered him a little.

"Shi Feng, you look much more stable than when you got married." The old man in yellow clothes said with a smile.

Shi Feng is Lin Heng's nickname. The reason is that when he was a child, he worshipped a big stone and recognized that stone as his godfather, so he got the name.

Because he was always sick when he was a child, people at that time believed that recognizing a stone as a godfather would make his life hard and not easy to get sick.

"Uncle, I want to dig this spring deeper and build a fish pond. What do you think?" Lin Heng pointed to the small spring behind him and asked with a smile.

His uncle nodded when he saw the spring and said, "Yes, it's a good thing. Water brings wealth. It's a good meaning to make a pool and let it go around the yard. I'll show you in detail later."

The old man nodded, and then looked at the direction of the house. There are mountains behind Lin Heng's house and a river in front. The place must be good.

"Then uncle, can I expand this spring now?" Lin Heng asked again.

"This is originally a small pool of water. You can only move here. You must wait until the eighth day of the first lunar month to move other places."

The old man in yellow looked at it and nodded.

"Okay." When Lin Heng saw that he could move, he turned back to find his eldest brother Lin Yue.

"Brother, take the tools and help me dig a well." Lin Heng shouted.

"Can we start the earth today?" The eldest brother Lin Yue looked at him.

"Yes, I asked my uncle, and he said it's okay to only move that spring." Lin Heng nodded.

"That's just right, let's go dig." The eldest brother Lin Yue nodded, took a shovel, a pickaxe, and a hoe and went out with Lin Heng.

Lin Heng took a gourd-made water scoop and a wooden basin.

First, scoop out all the water in the puddle, then dig with a hoe and shovel the soil with a shovel.

Lin Heng's idea is to dig a well with a diameter of 1.5 meters and a depth determined by the situation. The water in the well can be consumed by people, and then it will be connected to the secondary reservoir and then connected to the stream ecological fish pond.

While digging, the two chatted.

Lin Yue said that he had to drink less tonight and go catch some eels.

"Lin Heng, your sister-in-law is that kind of person, don't take it to heart." Suddenly, the eldest brother Lin Yue said with a smile.

"Brother, you think too much. How could I take it to heart? I understand your difficulties." Lin Heng smiled and shook his head.

He and his elder brother are only two years apart in age. They grew up together, caught fish, poisoned fish, stole corn and soybeans from others, got beaten together, and fought together.

Even if they got angry with each other sometimes, they would be fine soon because they both cared about each other.

In his previous life, when he had a high loan of 50,000 yuan, his elder brother also helped him despite the abuse from his elder sister-in-law.

So, even if his elder brother favored his elder sister-in-law and talked about him together, he would not care. He believed that the brotherhood between the two would not change.

"Haha, I feel relieved if you think so. We are still the same as before. Let's teach those eels a lesson tonight."

Hearing this, the elder brother Lin Yue smiled and patted Lin Heng's shoulder. He didn't want to be far away from Lin Heng because of other things, but he had no choice and was always entangled.

The reason why he felt resentful when Lin Heng was fooling around was that he resented Lin Heng for not making progress, not because of other things.

"That's a must." Lin Heng smiled.

Let's not talk about other things. Just say that his elder brother took the initiative to drop out of school after elementary school, so that he could go to junior high school. This favor was enough for him not to be angry with his elder sister-in-law.

The reason why he said that in the morning was that he wanted to anger his elder sister-in-law, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

While chatting and shoveling the soil, they soon dug more than one meter deep, and several small springs of water were exposed, and streams of water as thick as thumbs flowed out of the mountain.

"First divert the water away, and continue digging."

The two took off their shirts, dug a ditch from the side, diverted the water away, and continued to dig from the side.

It took more than three hours to complete a well with a diameter of 1.8 meters and a depth of 2.2 meters. The two were sweating profusely.

"This place has abundant groundwater." Lin Heng sighed.

After digging deeper, three springs appeared, all with a diameter of four or five centimeters. The water did not flow out quickly, but it was continuous. No wonder this land was wet all year round.

"Wait until the afternoon, find stones to build a circle in the well to separate the loess on the wall of the tube, and the well will be almost done."

Lin Yue nodded. The well was done, and less water penetrated outside, and his brother's house would be much drier.
