The topic soon turned to the childhood of Qin Shiou and Qin Peng. Old friends can recall the past together. If they want to talk about economy or current affairs and politics, there are too few common topics to understand each other''s views.
As night fell, the hot food came to the table and the dinner began.
Qin Shiou looked at all the dishes on the table and said with a smile, "uncle, you really took great pains. Do these good dishes cost a lot of money? I''m sorry. "
Because of his seniority, Qin Shiou doesn''t call Qin Peng''s family well. In terms of the seniority of the village family, Qin Shiou calls Qin Peng''s father his brother, and Qin Peng also calls him uncle, which is difficult for the younger generation to call.
This situation is common in rural areas. Young people are generally called by age. Qin Shiou usually calls Qin Peng''s father his uncle. He and Qin Peng are brothers. But the elders still call him by seniority. Qin Peng''s father is Qin Shiou, and his father is his uncle.
Therefore, the intelligent Weini soon fainted in her address. Qin Peng''s father said to Yan Lili that he didn''t pour water for your aunt, and then turned around, Qin Peng called her sister-in-law, and Qin Peng''s mother teased Xiaolan to call her aunt. In this way, Weini finally admitted defeat. She didn''t say anything at the dinner table, just smiled and was afraid of calling the wrong person.
Finally, after dinner, Qin Peng''s father secretly commented, "Xiao ou, your daughter-in-law is good at everything, but she is too shy. Is it the reason why we are not familiar with her? Why didn''t she say anything? "
Qin Shiou laughed and said, "there''s no way, uncle. My daughter-in-law is shy. She''s not as generous as lily."
Weini smiled with her and scolded Qin Shiou in her heart. This second cargo husband is the most lively one of her tonight. She asked several address questions, but Qin Shiou didn''t explain, itching her teeth.
After a night''s rest, Qin Shiou rubbed Qin Peng''s pickup truck to visit a reservoir favored by sister Qin. This is the top priority for him to come back, find a suitable job for Qin''s father and mother to pass the time, and supply seafood for the hotel at the same time.
Qin Peng''s hometown is half a mountainous area, but a hundred years ago, many places were still lakes. Later, years of drought and the movement of filling lakes and land after the founding of the people''s Republic of China led to some current towns and villages.
If we push forward a thousand years, almost all the sites of more than a dozen surrounding towns are in the land of water. After all, they are the location of an important transfer station of the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal. When the ancient canal was still high, the predecessor of these towns, Laozhai, were very rich.
Now there are many reservoirs in the town down the county seat. The groundwater is abundant. Almost all large and small depressions can be turned into reservoirs after excavation. In addition, the government has begun to pay attention to water conservancy construction in recent years, calling on farmers to carry out economic transformation, liberate from the land and invest in the development of fisheries.
Speaking of this topic, Qin Peng, who was driving, laughed and said, "it''s really interesting for the government to liberate farmers from the land and then be oppressed by the reservoir. Is it still the common people who suffer back and forth? Where is oppression? It''s not oppression, is it? "
Qin Shiou said, "you can''t say that. If you have technology and market, it''s really good to build a reservoir."
Qin Peng glanced and said unconvinced, "if there is a technology and a market, why would it be bad? I''m doing a good job repairing the car. "
The two joked. Sister Qin led the way in front of an Audi A6, stopped in front of a large reservoir in the neighboring town, and then took Qin Shiou to the dam of the reservoir for him to see.
Without my sister''s introduction, Qin Shiou is very familiar with the reservoir. Before he went to high school, he often came to the reservoir to fish. In summer, the children in the village or the students in his class will join hands to fight water battles in this place.
The reservoir is called xiaoyongzhuang reservoir, and the town where it is located is called xiaoyongzhuang town. The reservoir area is more than 5800 mu, which is equivalent to nearly four square kilometers. There is a sand shell dam with clay core wall in the reservoir, which is one and a half kilometers long. The other three sides are farmland, and then there are scattered villages outside.
Standing on the dam and looking around, it''s early morning. Today, there are some cloudy days, there is no sun, but there are not many cloudy clouds. Therefore, it seems that water vapor is floating on the reservoir, and groups of water birds are flying by, adding some vitality to the reservoir.
Qin Shiou remembers that when he came to the reservoir as a child, he always felt that the reservoir was very vast. The lake bank extended to both sides and seemed to have no end. There are always big waves on the water. It is not calm in summer. He and his friends dare not go into the water.
But now, it turns out that the reservoir is so small that it is not as big as a corner of Chenbao lake. The wind and waves here are so gentle. Even at the most peaceful time, the waves in Daqin fishing ground are bigger than here.
Qin Peng came up from behind, shook the willow branch in his hand and said, "compared with you, this is a small scene, isn''t it?"
Qin Shiou shook his head and said affectionately, "no, in my heart, this reservoir will always be the largest ocean in the world, and there will always be the most terrible waves in the world..."
"Speak up, brother."
"You''re right. Shit, the reservoir was so small. I was so afraid to come to the reservoir in junior high school. Who else said there were water ghosts and water monkeys in the reservoir? I was too scared to take a bath in this reservoir for a long time. " Qin Shiou was filled with sobs when he talked about this.
Because there are many reservoirs, there are many local rumors about water ghosts and water monkeys. The most common thing is that water monkeys become a steelyard and float by the lake to attract late returning pedestrians to fish in the water. As long as someone approaches, the scales in the water will float into the lake. In this way, people will drown if they get deeper and deeper.
This kind of rumor once spread widely in the local area. Qin Shiou is really drunk when he thinks about it. Mom''s egg''s scale at that time was either an electronic scale or an electronic scale. It couldn''t float on the lake.
But this is Xiang Zhi. At that time, people really believed that Qin Shiou was really afraid.
Standing on the dam, Qin Shiou put the Poseidon consciousness into the reservoir. Two Poseidon consciousness cruised along the lake bank from left to right, and the other six scattered in a fan. The situation under the reservoir entered his vision for the first time.
The reservoir looks good from the surface. It is boundless and the lake is clear, but from the underwater point of view, the situation is not very good. There are a lot of garbage at the bottom of the lake, broken glass bottles, bricks and stones, garbage bags immersed in the lake mud, broken doors and windows, and even damaged small rafts. There are really everything, except not many fish and water plants.
There are not no fish in the reservoir, but the number is too small, mainly carp, crucian carp, grass carp, silver carp and silver carp. There are no precious fish species. Badao Poseidon wandered for a long time. He estimated that there were not a thousand fish and shrimp found, nor did there be a confluence of fish. The existence of the reservoir was too failed.
