Chapter forty-ninth finishing the reservoir

Li Jiahao brought a group of people to the edge of the reservoir, and even Professor Chen's family took action. About a dozen people with sickles, ropes, snakeskin bags, and bamboo baskets finally cleaned up the water plants in the reservoir. The children took little dots and small whirlwinds to run around the edge of the reservoir, picking wild flowers, catching crickets, and chasing a butterfly.

"You kids go play for me, and we can't do anything to work." Li Jiahao shouted.

Seeing that it was Li Jiahao's scolding, the children were indifferent. Anyway, everyone knew that Li Jiahao would not beat them. Besides, I often went to Li Jiahao's house to play. I knew very well what kind of personality Li Jiahao was, and I was even more good to treat children. I would take out any delicious food for them to eat.

"You all stay away from me. I feel upset when I see you. Don't delay our work." Damao's mother Wang Ying said indifferently when she saw the children.

These children are like sticky skin candy and can't be driven away no matter how hard they are.

The adults were busy cleaning the weeds on the edge of the reservoir. They first cut them with a sickle and piled them together. Since the edge of the reservoir has not been sorted out for many years, there are a lot of weeds and very deep.

"Do you think that boy Jiahao is crazy? Why do you contract this broken place? I heard that there is a broken island above Tianchitan that day. I really have money and no place to spend it." said Zhang Lianhua, the aunt who mowed the grass.

"Who knows? I said I wanted to raise fish and build a house next to this reservoir, and what kind of manor should I build it?" said Zhao Ajuan, the aunt who spoke next to me.

"We care about so much. Anyway, that boy Jiahao is rich and he is a college student. He should know how to do it, but he just doesn't know if he can succeed." Zhang Lianhua said.

Hearing everyone's comments, Li Jiahao said nothing and continued to pile the haystacks that the villagers had cut aside.

After a few hours, the weeds were cleaned up, and the piles of weeds were placed next to another corner. After someone in the village raised cattle, the horses could be taken home to feed them. This would be great, and it would save yourself the lawn before mowing the grass. The free labor force would not cost money.

After the weeds on the edge of the reservoir were cleaned up, a brick-built flood blocking dam was exposed. The dam body was 220 meters long, 65 meters wide and 12 meters high. The culvert was built with brick ash. The south gate of the culvert was 6 meters long, 1.5 meters thick and 4 meters high. The center of the top was a "five star". The reservoir was built a long time ago and has a history of decades. The monument next to it also vaguely wrote the time and name of the construction and the name of the reservoir was "Tengfei Reservoir". Although some parts of the reservoir have been filled with soil, you can still vaguely see a couplet: "The commune has moved Mount Tai greatly, and the people are working hard to fill the ocean."

After cleaning up the weeds on the shore of the reservoir, we began to clean up the aquatic plants and garbage in the reservoir. No one has taken care of the reservoir for decades, and there are a lot of aquatic plants and garbage sent by the wind.

Li Jiahao brought the iron hook and fishing net, and prepared to pull the aquatic plants later. Grandma brought the leather boots. These leather boots were like rubber shoes, but longer than rubber shoes, and could be worn like clothes. They could be worn from their feet to their chests. Li Jiahao and several big men in the village went down to the edge of the reservoir and pulled the aquatic plants in the reservoir with hooks. As soon as they tried to pull the aquatic plants up to the roots, mud could be seen in shallow water.

"There are so many screws. I would have known that I would not pick up screws in the morning, so the giant lizard and the little elephant would not fight." Li Jiahao shook his head and said.

"Jiahui, come home and get a basin. I'll pick up more screws later and go home to eat." Li Jiahao shouted Jiahui.

"You, do you still eat what you work? You don't forget to eat what you work." Grandma said with a smile on the shore.

The aquatic plants were pulled ashore bit by bit, and the reservoir gradually became clear, and the shallow areas could be baseed at a glance.

"Yeah, there are quite a lot of fish. I'll take some to eat later." said Li Kui, a man in the village.

There are a lot of fish in the reservoir because there are ponds everywhere in Litang Village. If you want to eat fish, you won’t come here. There are also many water plants in this place, and birds are not easy to get down. There are many weeds on the shore, which is very deep. No wonder there are such a big lizard hidden here. Although Li Jiahao is puzzled why there are such a big lizard here, maybe it came from which mountain.

Li Jiahao cast a big net, which is a big net for the San Uncle's family. If Li Jiahao hadn't been strong, it would have been more difficult to cast this net, and it would have been even more difficult to get it up.

It’s easy to cast the net, but when Li Jiahao pulled the net, he tried a lot of effort but didn’t pull it up. He just cast the net several times but didn’t feel like this. Li Jiahao thought that maybe it was because the net was wrapped in some dead branches or water plants. He used a lot of effort to pull it, but he didn’t know if it didn’t pull it. When he pulled it, he was startled. Everyone was shocked. There was a yellow catfish more than one meter long. The four beards on the edge of his big mouth were still shaking, and the big belly could be filled with a person. He was still jumping around on the ground.

The children all ran over and were very curious when they saw such a big catfish. Several naughty children kept touching the smooth skin of the catfish with their hands. Chen Renjie was even more curious when he saw the big catfish. He actually ran to the catfish and picked up the catfish with both hands. The catfish threw Chen Renjie on the ground and sat.

"Ajie, look at what you are doing." Wang Yichun quickly pulled Chen Renjie and said.

Chen Renjie was covered with mucus from catfishes and the soil that fell to the ground.

The adult laughed loudly.

The children ran to touch the big catfish one by one, and Li Jiahao was also very surprised. It was the first time he saw such a big catfish, and he saw them all in the future.

"How to eat this catfish? When will it be finished?" Damao said in surprise.

Many villagers looked at the big catfish in front of them, and their grandmother said, "Baby, why don't you kill one person and eat it? We can't finish eating it even if we are so old."

It would be a pity that Professor Chen heard that he wanted to eat such a big catfish, but after all, he was embarrassed to say something that Li Jiahao caught.

"Eat? We don't have enough fish to eat. Besides, aren't there a lot of fish in my net? When you go back, you can just take a few to eat. I want to keep this big catfish and put it in the reservoir." Li Jiahao said to look at the big catfish.

It’s a pity to put such a big catfish back, but I can’t finish it even if I don’t put it in. Fish are not rare in Litang Village. You can catch a lot of fish in any pond or water bay.

"Yes, let it go." Professor Chen said with a smile. He didn't want such a big catfish to become everyone's table dishes.

Li Jiahao held the big catfish and swung it hard and returned to the reservoir.

The children were disappointed and had not yet looked at the big fish, so they were thrown into the reservoir again. The Chen brothers and sisters looked at the reservoir in a daze, but they didn't come back to their senses for a while.

The adults started to pull aquatic plants again. After more than an hour, the aquatic plants finally pulled almost the same.
