"What nonsense? This kind of behavior is digging the corner of socialism. If you are caught, you will be punished. You can talk about this at home, but you can't say it outside." Xu's mother hurried to hear her daughter's words. I looked at the door and found no one, and he was relieved. He said to Xu Ning when he came back.

Xu Ning curled her lips when she heard what his mother said. Whatever digs into the corner of socialism, they fart. But Xu Ning also knew that the Great Revolution had just ended, and everyone still had lingering fears. Moreover, they are different from Xu Ning. Xu Ning has memories of later generations, knowing that Grandpa Deng will propose reform and opening up next year, so he feels confident in his heart. They don't know the future, and they fear that the Great Revolution will make a comeback.

"Dad, what I said is true. I'm not talking about raising fish in my own family. I'm talking about fish farming in partnership with the team. The three big ponds in the team are really wasteful if they are not used." Raising together means belonging to the public family, and it is not considered as digging the corner of socialism.

"Buy so many fry back, what do you feed them?" Xu Yuanchao felt that his daughter was too whimsical. Although the fish lived in the water, they also wanted to eat. You buy it back for them to eat, don't eat, they will not grow up.

When I heard that my father didn't refuse, he asked the question first. Xu Ning felt as if there was a show, and immediately got energetic. Although she has never raised fish, she has never eaten pork or seen a pig running. Not to mention other places, but in the novels, there are often people who write about how to raise fish is the best.

"It's actually very simple. Let's build a duck shed on the pond first, and then buy some ducks back. Ducks can eat frogs, tadpoles or other aquatic insects in the water at ordinary times. Fish can eat duck dung and residual bait. It is said in the book. The benefits of polyculture of fish and ducks are great for both fish and ducks. However, when buying fry, you have to buy larger ones, because too small fry will be eaten by ducks." Xu Ning said in one breath. 

Xu Yuanchao lowered his head and said nothing, he was considering the operability of the matter. Originally, he simply said that, but he didn't expect his daughter to immediately give a solution. He is also an old farmer, and what his daughter said, if you think about it, really makes sense. However, it is a collective life now, and he alone feels that it is not enough. The entire team must agree, and at least most of them must agree.

"His dad, you don't really intend to listen to Si Niu. This is not okay, there are rules on it. Pork and ducks cannot exceed the number of people in the family. Si Niu, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. The old chairman said: Prefer socialist grass to capitalist seedlings. You will pay your dad for making mistakes like this." Xu Mu's expression changed, his dad is the pillar of the family.

Hearing what his mother said, Xu Ning almost threw out the job she was holding. We prefer the grass of socialism to the seedlings of capitalism. Are you sure Grandpa Mao said such silly things?

"Si Niu, if the ducks and fish are both raised, what will no one do?" Xu Yuanchao ignored his woman's words, looked at Xu Ning and asked.

Xu Ning was really surprised when she heard this. Unexpectedly, the seemingly honest dad would grasp the key issue all at once. Indeed, what is sold is the most important thing.

"In the countryside, we can't sell them, but we can buy things in the city. People in the city don't have land and can't raise these things. If they want to eat, they can only rely on buying. We can be more flexible when we buy. If there is a ticket but no money, we can ask him to give more tickets and less money or no money, anyway." Xu Ning has already thought about it.

"But if that's the case, people will be reported." Xu Yuanchao, who has been the village party secretary for so many years, knows more about the cruelty of politics than ordinary people.

"Dad, we are collectively bred ducks and fish. They are collective, not individual. What if we report?" Xu Ning is really speechless about some of the regulations of this era.

"I can't be the master of this matter alone. I can only decide when I have time to discuss it with everyone. By the way, Si Niu, if you have any other ways, let's talk about it together." Xu Yuanchao moved a little. The main reason is that everyone's life is too hard. After the whole year is busy, after paying the public food, they are just enough to fill their stomachs, and they don't even dare to get sick. But people eat whole grains, and there will always be a headache, and at that time, apart from finding someone to borrow, they have to wait for death. But the point is that everyone around them has similar conditions, and no one has extra money.

"We can also raise chickens. Isn't there a small forest next to Taohua's house? The team can surround it and use it to raise chickens. There are many insects in the woods, and the chickens don't need to be fed when they are kept for a few months. After that, there will be eggs to buy. However, if you need to send someone to take care of them, raising chickens will definitely provoke the weasels to steal them." Xu Ning said lightly.

"It's not bad to raise chickens there, but you still need to plan carefully how to raise them. Si Niu, where is the book you mentioned, show it to me." Xu Yuanchao thought more than Xu Ning, so although I think it's a good way, but how to get it is yet to be verified.

"Ah, I saw it in the library of S City. The books inside can only be borrowed but not taken." Xu Ning was startled when he heard that Father Xu wanted to read it. His mind turned so fast, and finally came up with such an excuse.

"That's it, then forget it. By the way, what you said today, don't say it outside, it won't be good to spread it out then." Xu Yuanchao was lost when he didn't get the answer he wanted. However, he had no doubt about Xu Ning's explanation. Xu Ning had never lied at home before.

After lunch, Xu Ning and Grandpa Xu went to bed and took a nap. Xu Fan didn't have the habit of taking a nap, so he followed his father and went to the pond again.

Xu Ning didn't sleep long, she was still thinking about sharing the lotus roots in the afternoon. Through the memories of the original owner, this time of year is the most lively time.

When Xu Ning passed by, many people were already waiting there, and several team captains in the village were busy there. First, we must pick out the big fish, count how many fish there are, and see if there is enough for each family to divide one. Then pick out the medium ones, weigh them, and finally divide them equally by households, and divide them into piles. Then, the carp and silver carp of the size of one or two were separated and grouped together according to the same weight. Finally, it is the fish that grew up with wild fry, and these should also be weighed clearly.

It will take more than an hour just to divide these. After dividing, arrange the numbers in order. Finally, Xu Yuanchao stood in front and began to call out names, one by one, and came forward to draw lots. The weight of the fish is the same, but the size of the fish is definitely different. Those who have big fish in the house have fewer medium fish. Anyway, try to be fair and just.

When Xu Ning's name was called out, Xu Ning happily rushed to draw lots. She reached into the box and stirred it twice before pulling out a piece of paper.

"Number eight. Yes, there is a big fish." Xu Ning opened the note and looked at the numbers before counting. Looking over from here, you can see a big fish in front of the eighth.

"Oh, Xiao Wu will come and see, is this the fish we caught?" Xu Ning approached and found that the big fish assigned to his own house seemed to be the one they caught.

Xu Fan followed Grandpa Xu and the others, holding things and pretending to fish. Hearing the shouts of Si Niu, she ran over. Grandpa Xu and the others walked behind, looking at their grandchildren, with a smile on their faces: "Old lady, did you find out. After finishing the exam, Si Niu became a lot more lively."

"Well, this child is very thoughtful, and the pressure in the front exam is so stressful that it will be better after the exam. However, she and Xiao Wu are getting better and better. You can see that she is always thinking about Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu is too, something good, the first thing that comes to mind is Si Niu, leaving me and his mother behind." Grandma Xu said.

"Haha, you old thing, are you still jealous of your granddaughter? Me, don't ask for anything else, just a few of their siblings and brothers who are in harmony." Grandpa Xu has a good relationship with his grandchildren and is happy to see it happen. . Xiao Wusi Niu has now stepped into the university gate with one leg, and she must be from the city to marry a married man in the future. The other three granddaughters have no choice, and the two of them will help each other in the city.

Xu Ning and the others put the fish in a bucket together, and walked to the pond below with them. Fish can't live long out of the water, and now there is no refrigerator to keep them cold, so after everyone gets it, they kill them directly. When they go back, they leave one or two small ones and eat them fresh. Everything else must be pickled with salt, and will be taken out when someone comes home or when there is no food to eat.

"Siniu, don't move this fish. Wait for your grandpa to get it. This is a new year fish for the Chinese New Year." Xu Ning just happened to catch a carp that looked very lively and was stopped by her grandma. Upon hearing the words of grandma, Xu Ning stuck out her tongue and dared not touch it again.

"Milk, how do we eat these little fishes?" Xu Ning asked, looking at the half-slapped white strips at her grandma's feet.

"After washing these white strips, go back and wipe some salt and dry them. When there are no more vegetables to eat in the future, they will be steamed on top of the rice. It is delicious. Why, you forgot, don't you like to eat it the most?" Grandma Xu put on her hand. The cleaned white strips were thrown into another basket, raised his head and looked at the granddaughter strangely.

"Haha, I haven't eaten it for a long time, forget it. Then these small fish, wrapped in flour, fried and eaten must be delicious." Xu Ning was surprised and replied with a guilty conscience. Afraid that grandma would ask again, she quickly changed the subject.

"Yes, your five sisters and brothers have liked to eat since they were young. After the fish is divided every year, I hope your mother will give you fried fish. However, this food is delicious to eat, it is too oily." Grandma Xu I'm used to saving, and every time I fry small fish, I feel very heartache. If it wasn't for her grandchildren to eat, she would rather not want to eat these little fish, and would not waste the oil.
