This is a tradition in the Jingchang area, and the old Xu family is no exception. To provide for old age and prevent old age.
Xu Yishan had already scouted a homestead for his son Xiang. It was located on the side of the village road, very close to the entrance of the village. It was only a few steps away from the bus stop that went to and from the county town and passed through the town, but it was a bit far away from the lake.
In Xu Yin's opinion, that location is worse than an old bungalow.
At least it's a lake view room here, quiet and beautiful, what's the point over there? Along the village road, cars come and go, making a lot of noise and eating dust.
But the older generation who have suffered from humidity don’t think so.
They feel that it is far from the lake and the house is dry; it is close to the village road and it is convenient to go to town by car.
This is roughly like a siege - "people inside are trying their best to get out, and people outside are trying to get in."
Xu Yin cleaned up the room, raised the door curtain and walked to the dining room.
"Dad, you're back? How did things go?"
"It went very well." Xu Yishan looked happy. It took him half a day to go back and forth to the street. He was really thirsty. He drank a cup of cold water and wiped the corners of his mouth before saying, "The street said that I am the first contractor in our village. Praise. The village let me choose by myself. There was no need to draw lots. I chose the area in front of my house. What do you think, mother of the child?"
Zhao Xiuhua nodded happily: "It must be good to be close to home! When the fish are raised, you can sit at the door and see the fish pond."
"That's what I think too." Dad Xu said cheerfully, "Then I will buy the netting tomorrow. After pulling it up, I can release the fry. Yin Yin, what kind of fish do you think is good to raise?"
Xu Yin thought for a while and said: "The water quality of this lake is good, and you can raise any fish. But since you plan to do business, you should raise fish that have high economic benefits and can coexist with shrimps and crabs. I think fathead fish is good, and the market demand is huge. The key is that as long as it is there, the water quality will only get better and not worse.”
The scientific name of the fat-headed fish is silver carp, and it makes a living by eating zooplankton.
Zooplankton eat phytoplankton, so waters with fathead fish tend to form a benign food chain.
If you are worried about too many phytoplankton, you can raise another batch of silver carp, which eat algae and other phytoplankton.
Generally speaking, the water quality in waters with these two kinds of fish is generally not bad. Because they can indirectly regulate water quality.
"When I was going through the formalities in the street, I heard people say that, then we should raise two kinds of fish, catfish and silver carp!" Xu Yishan happily agreed, and then asked, "What about shrimps and crabs? You don't need to specially stock them with seedlings, right?" There are a lot of them in the lake, but they are too small to eat people.”
Xu Yin: "..."
Why is no one eating it? Lake crabs that are ecologically cultured in high-quality water are hard to grab in the golden autumn of October.
The same goes for shrimps. What does it matter if they are small? Ecological prawns that are similar to wild ones are just asking why there is no market for them? The market price will only be so high that it scares you to death.
"Sure! I'm responsible for the sales!" Xu Yin said boldly.
At worst, she runs the business and is the boss. She pays with her left hand and receives the goods with her right hand, and stores them in the system warehouse.
With such a good ecological breeding environment, it would be a waste not to raise some fish and shrimp.
"Dad, let's build another net, put a small fish pond in the big fish pond, and raise a few mandarin fish. I want to eat them." Xu Yin was greedy.
"It's not easy to eat." Xu Yishan immediately pushed out the fishing boat and hauled up the fishing net. "I'm going to put down the net now. Now the lake in front of our door belongs to our family, and we won't be fined if we are caught."
"……"makes sense.
"Dad, I'm going too!" Xu Chuan excitedly fiddled with his slippers and wanted to follow.
"What are you doing? You're just holding back." Xu Yishan glared, "Have you finished your summer homework? Are you sure about going to college? You have nothing, and you only want to go out to play?"
"Uh..." Xu Chuan was scolded by his father and went back to his room to do his homework.
Father Xu packed up the tangled fishing nets that had not been used for a long time, and scolded him a little more: "Xu Chuan, your teacher said that your current grades are still a little short of a bachelor's degree. Don't always think about playing, work hard. Think about your sister’s time..."
At this point, he paused and couldn't break it off anymore. After all, his daughter didn't like studying at that time. Alas...
Xu Yin: "..."
What a shame!
Where is the aura of being a top student in the past? Why is this little world so useless?
…
Xu Yishan went fishing, Xu Chuan was studying in his room, and Xu Yin planned to go to the county town and quit his job.
When Zhao Xiuhua heard that she was quitting her job, she hesitated to speak when she saw her daughter.
"Mom, do you have something to tell me?" Xu Yin understood at a glance.
Zhao Xiuhua hesitated for a moment and then said, "How about you go to work? Your dad and I are at home, so we should be busy."
No matter how hard you work, your monthly salary is still guaranteed. Fish farming is not a thing yet, so I quit my job and go home now, and I still feel uneasy.
Xu Yin understood Xu Ma's mood.
If she was just an ordinary vocational high school graduate, and she didn’t have a skill book for energy exchange, high-quality fish fry from multiple small worlds, or a bait formula that fish, shrimps, and crabs liked very much, she wouldn’t know what to do.
But now that she has the above-mentioned plug-ins, what if she gives it a try?
Life can have a few back stroke?
"Mom, don't worry! If it doesn't work, let's put less fish fry. This year we will raise the original fish in the lake to a bigger size. Then we can sell them at a good price. When we have the capital, we can do something big next year!"
After appeasing her mother, Xu Yin picked up a backpack and went out.
Zhao Xiuhua thought about it for a while, wondering if it was the same as saying it or not saying it.
What is she worried about? Isn't it just that I'm worried that my daughter will quit her job and go home to raise fish with her father, but in the end she won't be able to do anything well and will lose her job?
"Yin Yin..."
When Zhao Xiuhua thought something was wrong, she immediately chased her out of the house, but her daughter was nowhere to be seen.
This girl's feet are quite fast.
Xu Yin was afraid that her mother would come to her senses and stop her from resigning, so how could she not run as fast as she could?
She jogged all the way to the bus stop at the entrance of the village, jumped on a passing urban and rural bus, took the bus to the county seat, and found the shopping mall where she originally worked.
Maybe the wages of counter staff are low, and some people quit their jobs almost every month. The job recruitment notice in the mall is posted at the entrance of the mall, but it has never been taken down.
When Xu Yinlai resigned, her superior supervisor didn't say anything, just asked her to go through the process, complete the procedures, and that was it.
However, her colleague at the counter asked curiously: "Xiao Xu, have you found a new employer? How is the salary? It must be much higher than here, right? Otherwise you wouldn't leave."
Xu Yin waved her hands modestly: "No, no, I plan to go home."
"Go home? What are you going home for? Did you go on a blind date two days ago during your vacation? Are you ready to get married? I'm not telling you that even if we get married, it's better for us women to have a job."
Xu Yin囧: What did she say that she was getting married? This jump is too big. It’s bigger than the cake she drew for Mother Xu.
"No, I'm not married, I'm just going home..."
