Chapter 195 Cutting off the water and repairing the ditches

    ?

    "Ren Tao, have you heard? We are going to build a big ditch here." Grandma said while eating.

    "Is it by the big ditch at the door?" I asked.

    "Well, that's right. A few days ago, someone from the village publicized it from house to house, saying that it needs to be repaired three times." Grandma said while picking up vegetables.

    "What is the three-time light?" I asked puzzled.

    "The two sides of the ditch and the bottom of the ditch are smoothed with cement on three sides. It is not easy to accumulate garbage and it is cleaner." Grandma said.

    "Old sister-in-law, hurry up, the water will start to cut off" The elder brother of the same village walked by the door and loudly delivered a message to my grandma.

    "Is it time to start repairing the ditch?" I put down the bowl and ran outside, too late to wait for grandma to answer my question.

    "Big brother, are you going to start repairing the ditch?" I asked quickly after I caught up with the big guy.

    "Yes, the water will be cut off today, and the ditch will start digging tomorrow at the latest. Go back and tell your grandparents to hurry up, or you won't be able to catch fish if you go too late." The elder brother was still speeding up his pace while talking.

    I hurriedly turned around and ran home, and told my grandparents the news as soon as possible.

    After hearing the news, my grandparents put down their bowls and chopsticks and went out with me to the ditch.

    ?Looking at the edge of the ditch from a distance, there are people from the village standing on the bank, talking and laughing, staring at the river.

    "We're going to occupy a place first!" After finishing speaking, the second grandfather and second grandmother, holding a basin and a hoe, walked down the river.

    Behind her, Mrs. Ren Hui hurriedly followed with a bucket in hand.

    With the first beginning, everyone moved immediately!

    Of course, those who just want to watch the excitement are not in a hurry to occupy space.

    The river seems to be quite long, and our entire yard is only nine people.  It stands to reason that each family can be allocated a very long river, so there is no need to worry about no fish to catch.

    But in fact, the entire river belongs to our village, and it is only about 300 meters long.

    Of course, some people may want to say that 300 meters for nine families is enough, and each family is more than 30 meters, and some people may not be able to handle it!

    In fact, it is not the case. About two-thirds of the 300 meters are not conducive to fish colonization. It belongs to the kind of situation where the water is very shallow, or the river channel is narrow and there are many stones. It is impossible to catch big fish at all.

    "Where do we occupy?" Grandma asked Grandpa while running.

    "Just occupy the Niuguntang. That section is our field, and the water is deep there, so there should be fish." Grandpa said while speeding up.

    When we arrived at Niuguntang, we quickly occupied the space. Fortunately, the others seemed to have a tacit understanding and did not occupy this space.

    The land occupied by Ren Yuntao's family is just next to us, upstream of us, next to the river, and it is also his family's field.

    The entire river course is roughly divided into 9 sections, and each family occupies a section.

    The upstream water has been cut off, and everyone is waiting for the water in the ditch to slowly decrease. When the water can no longer flow away, it is time to start supporting the fish!

    "Ren Tao, do you think which one of you is back?" Second Grandma stood on the shore and said to me.

    Standing in the ditch, I couldn't see the situation on the shore at all, so I had to give up observing the fish and go ashore to have a look first.

    "Mom! Dad! You are back!" From a long distance away, I saw my parents miraculously come back!

    This time, this day, shouldn't be!

    And there is no advance notice, really no news at all!  Parents are back!

    Seeing my parents carrying things in big and small bags, I hurried to them.

    The distance of a hundred meters is like a dream, not real.

    "Ren Tao, are you pawing by the ditch? Why are there so many people around there?" Dad asked.

    "The big ditch at the gate has to be repaired three times. The water has been cut off today, and it is said that it will start repairing tomorrow at the latest. When there is no water, everyone is going to go down to the ditch to catch fish. The location has just been assigned."  I explained.

    "Then which section do we divide?" Dad likes to catch fish very much, and keeps asking questions about the allocation.

    "The Niuguntang we occupy, grandparents have already occupied a place there. Below the Nianxintou, there are Yao Dad and the others, and then there are Ren Hui's ladies, above that are Ren Jian and the others, and then us."

    "Our top point is Ren Yuntao and the others, and Uncle Changgui and the others occupy the position at the Guaiguai." I roughly told my parents about the situation of the division.  I don't particularly care.

    Mother caresses lovinglyI shook my head and asked, "Have you listened to your grandparents at home during this time?"

    "You must be obedient. If you don't believe me, you can ask Grandpa and Grandma Ha when they come back." I said with certainty.

    Just kidding, how can I be disobedient as an excellent representative of children from all over the world?

    To learn and learn, to have hands-on ability, to say hello to grandparents as soon as you go out.

    Don't do dangerous things, don't go to dangerous places, no matter how you look at it, I am a very good person!

    Of course, such things as climbing trees, poking fish with bare feet, and digging centipedes are not counted.

    "Changyou is back!"

    "Changyou"

    As we approached the ditch, the neighbors greeted their parents.

    Seeing my parents coming back, my grandparents also rushed home. Although Yu'er is at ease, family members are the most important thing!

    As soon as I got home, my parents put down the big and small bags, and my grandparents came back.

    "Changyou, you guys are back today?" Grandma walked in with a smile.

    Grandpa also found a chair and sat down, listening to the conversation between the two.

    "We came back and prepared to take Ren Tao out to play for two days. Ma Ta probably won't be able to do it for a long time, and we will move back after a while." Dad said.

    "Oh, why don't you do it? What's the matter?" Grandma asked disappointedly.

    "Business is hard to do. The sale of cement tiles is not allowed there. Many people buy that kind of machine-made tiles. They can't make money, and they can't even earn enough rent." Dad said helplessly.

    The brief silence also announced the end of the handmade cement tile industry.

    Imagine ten or so years ago, when cement tiles first appeared, business was booming, and even though they worked overtime every day, they were often sold out. At that time, making cement tiles must have made a lot of money.

    It's a pity that my parents entered this industry a little late. They didn't catch up with the good times and didn't make any money. Now they are about to witness the end of the industry.

    "Mom, Ren Tao said that he needs to repair the light three times? Why are you all guarding the side of the ditch? Are there a lot of fish?" Dad asked with a smile, it seems that he really likes to catch fish.

    "Well, the water was cut off today. The ditch will start digging tomorrow at the latest. There is an elbow on the other side, and the edge of the ditch needs to be re-dug to make it easier to repair." Grandma said.

    "The Niuguntang that we allocated, and those that were assigned to the bottom, have started to help the fish. We have to wait a while, and we will go again when the bottom is dry." Grandpa said.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
