Mu Yangling squatted on the ground, rubbed the mud in his hands, sighed, then stood up and said to his aunt, "It still doesn't work."

My aunt looked up at the sky, the sun was shining brightly in her eyes, wearing a thick padded jacket, she could only feel a little warmth, it was almost the second of February, but the ice and snow hadn’t started to melt yet. How could it be finished at the end of the month?

The temperature in the ground can’t keep up, so the seeds can’t be planted. The camp has already distributed the seeds. My aunt checked carefully. The seeds are fine and the quantity is enough. Mu Yangling was very surprised. I don’t know what method Qi Xiuyuan used to make the court Send down so many seeds.

"A Ling," Hu Jinshi trotted over with a smile on his face, and shouted, "Go and see, the ice in the ground has melted!"

Mu Yangling jumped up, "Has it melted? It hasn't melted yet when I saw it yesterday."

Hu Jinshi smiled all over his face, "This snow melts as soon as it is said, isn't it fast? Everyone ran to see it. Isn't there a canal passing by your land? Do you want to go and see it?"

"Okay, let's go." Mu Yangling left what he was doing, and took Xiuhong to run to watch it.

Many people gathered around the river to watch the fun. When the ice in the river melted, it indicated that the temperature in the ground would also rise, and it would not be long before the seeds could be planted.

Mu Yangling ran to the river, tapped the ice surface with a stick, and made a "dong dong" sound. With a little force on his hand, the ice cracked, and the ice cubes fell into the river. The flowing river immediately swallowed the ice cubes. Disappeared from under the ice.

Mu Yangling's brows and eyes were crooked with a smile, the ice did indeed melt.

The ice surface was smashed, a fish leaped up from the river, Xiuhong exclaimed, but Mu Yangling subconsciously swept the fish that landed on the ice aside, refusing to fall into the river again.

"Fish!" Xiuhong yelled and was about to run up to catch her, but Mu Yangling grabbed her by the collar and pulled her back, "You're dying, the ice is getting thinner."

Xiuhong turned around anxiously, "Cousin, what a big fish, take it back and feed it to my aunt, it's just in time for milk."

Mu Yangling carefully rowed the fish to the shore with a stick, grabbed it with his hands, and whispered to her, "Run back and pick the bucket."

Xiuhong's eyes were shining, she carefully looked left and right, and found that no one was paying attention to her, she nodded her head repeatedly, and trotted home.

Mu Yangling took a stick and headed for the mouth of the ditch in his home.

Although the canal had been dug, there was no water in it because the ice had been frozen. Instead, there was a thin layer of ice and a foot-deep snow.

The mouth of the canal was dug in the middle of Mu Yangling's family land, and she was the only one left in the huge field. She turned her head to look at the Hu family's land. The Hu family was also standing in their own land looking at the ice in the river, with faces There was a smile on her face, but she couldn't see what they were doing from her perspective, and by the same token, they certainly couldn't see what she was doing here.

Mu Yangling squatted at the mouth of the ditch, knocked on the ice with the stick in her hand, but it didn't break it. She put the fish that jumped up just beside it, and looked upstream.

This river comes from the Jialing River. Once the snow melts, I believe the water volume will not be low. The three reservoirs and the three canals should be able to fill up.

Thinking that the seeds will be planted in a short time, Mu Yangling feels happy.

Xiuhong ran over with two wooden barrels, panting, "Cousin, can you still catch fish?"

"Look at your luck." Mu Yangling threw the fish into the bucket, pierced the ice with a stick, and poured air into the water. After waiting for a while, two fish jumped out of it. Mu Yangling Overjoyed, she took the bucket and quickly caught a jumping fish, and another one fell on the ice, and she swept the fish into the ditch with a stick...

Fish kept jumping up, and Mu Yangling did the same. As long as the fish fell on the ice, she would sweep them into the ditch. She is not allowed to go down, there are only two layers of ice blocking the mouth of the canal, if there is an accident, the water rushes out of the ice...

When it was almost the same, Mu Yangling jumped into the canal to pick up all the fish. When the Hu family looked here curiously, they only saw two children playing at the mouth of the canal. gone back.

Mu Yangling and Xiuhong filled two barrels of fish before going back.

Xiuhong carefully looked left and right, Mu Yangling smiled and said, "Don't worry, no one will see it."

People can only see them carrying wooden barrels at most, and they certainly cannot see the contents of the barrels.

The houses in Chenggutun are all far away. Although it is inconvenient to visit each other, it also ensures the privacy of each family to the greatest extent.

Mu Yangling went straight home from the field without meeting anyone.

"Mother, aunt, see what I brought back for you?" Mu Yang showed them the wooden barrel as if offering a treasure.

Seeing so many fish inside, Ma Liushi's eyes lit up and asked, "Has the ice melted?"

"It's starting to melt. I opened the ice hole and jumped up. I didn't tell anyone." Mu Yangling said happily.

Ma Liushi looked at her amusedly, and said: "You are not the only one who knows this truth. After two days, when everyone sees someone knocking holes in the ice, everyone will know it too."

"I don't want to make a lot of money, I just want to catch some more before everyone realizes it and raise them. One a day will also nourish everyone's body." Mu Yangling said while watering the fish.

But Ma Liu became worried, "How can we raise so many fish?"

"Let's freeze it," Mu Yangling said as it should. "Isn't there a cellar at the back? I moved the tank down, hit the ice on the bottom, put the fish in it, covered the ice, and covered the outside of the tank." Pile up some ice, pile up some more, the temperature in the cellar is low, don't worry, it will definitely not melt in twenty or thirty days."

Mu Yangling did what he said, the cellar was empty and there was nothing there, and they didn't expect to use it until winter, so the cellar could be used casually, let alone piled up some ice, even a cellar would be fine .

Mu Yangling directly took the net bag, carried the wooden bucket to the river, poked the ice cubes into large pieces with a stick, then picked up the ice cubes with the net bag and put them in the bucket, and some fish jumped out of the water When she got up, she fished the fish into the bucket by the way.

She went back and forth twice, and found that the bucket could hold limited ice, so she simply used a wooden plank to separate the two-wheeled cart and pushed it to the river to load a cart full of ice cubes. Xiuhong followed behind to pick up fish with a full face of excitement, and finally He picked up a bucket full and came over, regretting: "Cousin, many fish that jumped up fell into the water again."

"It's okay, the fish have to give birth, the fish that fell into the water will give birth, and next year there will be more fish in the river." Mu Yangling put the barrel on the cart, pulled up the cart, and said, "Let's go, let's go back."

Mu Yangling made too much noise at this moment, Old Man Hu stood at the door watching, and asked loudly, "Ah Ling, what are you talking about?"

"Ice, I went to the river to knock some ice and put it in the cellar."

"What's the purpose of pulling ice so well? You don't have to freeze your body."

Mu Yangling couldn't find a reason for a while, Xiuhong rolled her eyes, and shouted: "I'm suffering from summer, my cousin heard that she would store the ice, and take it out for me to use in summer."
