1562. The vast reservoir
The topic quickly turned to the childhood and youth of Qin Shiou and Qin Peng. Old friends could recall the past when they were together. If they wanted to talk about economy or current affairs, there were too few common topics and it was difficult to understand each other's views.
As night falls, hot meals are served, and the supper begins.
Qin Shiou looked at the table with dazzling array of dishes and smiled and said, "Uncle, you have taken great pains. Such good dishes cost a lot, right? I'm embarrassed."
Because of seniority, Qin Shiou is very difficult to call Qin Peng's family. In terms of the seniority of the village family, Qin Shiou called Qin Peng's father the elder brother, and Qin Peng also called him uncle. Such a young generation is hard to call him.
This situation is more common in rural areas. Young people are usually called by age. Qin Shiou usually calls Qin Peng's father an uncle, and he and Qin Peng are friends. But elders still call them by seniority. Qin Peng's father is called Qin Shiou's father an uncle.
So, the smart Winnie quickly became dizzy when she called her. Qin Peng's father told Yan Lili that she wouldn't pour water for your aunt, and then turned around and called her sister-in-law again. Then Qin Peng's mother teased Xiao Lanlan and called her aunt again. In this way, Winnie finally gave up. She didn't say anything at the dinner table, but just smiled, afraid that the wrong person was called.
After dinner, Qin Peng's father secretly commented: "Xiaoou, your wife is good at everything, but she is too shy. Is it because we are not familiar with it? Why doesn't she say anything?"
Qin Shiou laughed and said, "There is no way, uncle, my wife is just shy, she is not as generous as Lily."
Winnie smiled and scolded Qin Shiou to death. This duo husband was the most lively one of hers tonight. She asked a few questions about the title, but Qin Shiou didn't explain, making her angry and it made her itchy.
After eating and drinking, he went home and rested for a night. The next day, Qin Shiou rubbed Qin Peng's pickup truck to inspect a reservoir that was watched by Sister Qin. This time it was his top priority for his return. He found a suitable job for Qin's father and mother to pass the time, and also provided seafood to the hotel.
Qin Peng's hometown is half a mountainous area. But after a hundred years, many places are still lakes. Later, years of drought and the movement to fill the lake and build land after the founding of the People's Republic of China, some of the current towns and villages were founded.
If we push forward a thousand years, the territory of more than ten towns around us will be almost all in the water towns. After all, it is the location of the important transit station of the Grand Canal of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. When the ancient canal was still high, the old villages, the predecessors of these towns, were all very wealthy.
There are also many reservoirs in the towns down the county town, with abundant groundwater. Almost all depressions of large and small can be turned into reservoirs. In addition, the government has begun to pay attention to water conservancy construction in recent years, calling on farmers to undergo economic transformation, liberate them from the land, and devote themselves to fishery development.
When talking about this topic, Qin Peng, who was driving, laughed and said, "The government is really interesting. Let the farmers be liberated from the land and then oppressed by the reservoir. Isn't it still the people who suffer? Where to oppress is not oppression, right?"
Qin Shiou said: "You can't say that. If you have technology and market, it's really good to build a reservoir."
Qin Peng curled his lips and said disbelief: "If there is technology and market, then why would it be bad? I'm doing a good job in repairing cars now."
The two of them made a joke, and Sister Qin drove the Audi A6 in front of the road. She stopped in front of a large reservoir in the neighboring town. Then she took Qin Shiou to the dam of the reservoir and let him see it.
Without my sister's introduction, Qin Shiou is very familiar with this reservoir. Before he went to high school, he often came to this reservoir to fish. In summer, the children in the village or classmates in the class would join forces to fight water battles here.
This reservoir is called Xiaoyongzhuang Reservoir. The town it is located is called Xiaoyongzhuang Town. The reservoir area is more than 5,800 acres, which is equivalent to nearly four square kilometers. The reservoir has a clay heart wall sand shell dam with a length of one and a half kilometers. On the other three sides are crop fields, and further out are villages with scattered and arranged villages.
Standing on the dam and looking around, it was the early morning. Today was cloudy, and there were no suns, but there were not many clouds. Therefore, when you look at the reservoir, there seemed to be water vapor floating on it, and groups of water birds were singing and flying by, adding some vitality to the reservoir.
Qin Shiou remembers that when he came to the reservoir when he was a child, he always felt that the reservoir was very vast. The lake shore extended to both sides, and it seemed that there was no end. There were always strong winds and waves on the water surface. In summer, it was not calm, so he and his friends dared not go into the water.
But now, it turns out that this reservoir is so small, not as big as a corner of Chenbao Lake. The wind and waves here are so gentle. Even when the Daqin Fishery is at its quietest, the waves are bigger than here.
Qin Peng walked up from behind, shook the willow branches in his hand and said, "Compared with you, this is a small scene, right?"
Qin Shiou shook his head and said affectionately: "It's different. In my heart, this reservoir will always be the largest ocean in the world, and there will always be the stormy waves in the world that scares me the most..."
"Speak up, brother."
"You're right, my mother's reservoir is so small. I was in vain when I was in junior high school. Who else said that there were water ghosts and monkeys coming to this reservoir? I was so scared that I didn't dare to come to this reservoir for a long time." Qin Shiou was so sad when he said this.
Because there are many reservoirs, there are many rumors about water ghosts and monkeys in the local area. The most common one is that water monkeys turn into a scale floating by the lake, attracting pedestrians who are late to come to fish in the water. As long as someone approaches, the scales in the water will float into the lake, so that they will get deeper and deeper, and people will drown.
This kind of rumor was once widely circulated in the local area. Qin Shiou was really drunk when he thought about it now. Damn the scales at that time were either electronic scales or electronic scales, and they couldn't float on the lake.
But this is the wisdom of the people. At that time, people really believed that Qin Shiou was really scared.
Standing on the embankment, Qin Shiou put the sea god consciousness into the reservoir. Two sea god consciousnesses cruised along the lake shore from left to right, and the other six channels were scattered in fan shapes. The situation under the reservoir entered his vision as soon as possible.
The reservoir looks pretty good from the water surface, it is vast and the lake is clear, but the situation is not good from the water. There is 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 destroyed small rafts. There are really everything, but there are 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, carp, and carp, and there are no precious species of fish. The eight sea god consciousness wandered for a long time, and he estimated that the number of fish and shrimp he found was not a thousand, and there were no converged fish. The existence of this reservoir was too failed. (To be continued.)
