When Su He and the others came to the river, many children had already arrived.
It seems that they must have been ordered by their parents to come here to catch fish.
Country kids, especially those from the 20th century, have their way up the mountains and down the rivers.
Gu Dong suddenly asked: "He Yazi, will there really be a drought this year?"
Su He looked over, and even Gu Dong knew it. It seemed that the eldest grandpa or third grandpa had told everyone about the drought.
Now every household is seizing the time to prepare more food.
The problem of reduced late rice production has been basically determined before planting.
How can rice grow without water?
Su He pointed to the river bank and said, "You'll know just by looking at the water level."
There is water only ten centimeters away from the river bank.
There used to be one on the river bank, and the water level was not low, but what about now?
Gu Dong nodded: "Then it will be more troublesome this year!"
Gu Dong's family doesn't need to worry too much. His uncle works in the supply and marketing cooperative, and his position seems to be quite high.
Where is the supply and marketing cooperative? In this year of 1979, there may be food shortages everywhere, but supply and marketing cooperatives will not be short of food.
There was food for sale in that place. In fact, it was the only place where food was sold.
Gu Dong's uncle will definitely bring food by then.
For some reason, Su He remembered how his second sister Su Rong went out with the food in the morning.
After passing the hospital group, Su He felt that the food and meat in his warehouse could not be taken out easily.
The Su family still has to experience the crisis of poverty and lack of food before the family can be closely united!
If he keeps bringing things out, the whole family may not wake up unless there is a crisis.
"It's okay, I won't starve to death anyway, at most I'll just be less well-fed!"
We still have a lot of sweet potatoes at home, but it’s not easy to keep them until now.
The taste is definitely not very good. Mix some refined grains into it and it will be a meal.
In the previous life, Su He's family also had such a meal.
Su He quite likes to eat pumpkin rice. He just cuts the pumpkin into small pieces, puts it in the rice cooker, and cooks the rice as usual.
After the rice is cooked, mash the pumpkin and mix it into the rice. It tastes very sweet.
But Su He's father didn't like eating at all. Once, Su He's father spoke his mind!
"Why don't I like eating this kind of rice? It's because when I was a kid, my family ate sweet potato rice every day. I ate so much that I still feel nauseous!"
Although sweet potato rice and pumpkin rice are not the same thing, they actually look quite similar.
Su He went into the water and said to Little Pumpkin: "You stay by the river, don't come to the middle of the river."
After thinking about it, he took out two candies and handed them to the little pumpkin: "You can eat the candies here, don't come over, you know?"
The little pumpkin happily took the candy and started eating.
She had already finished all the candies she had before.
"I know, I won't cut too much!" Little Pumpkin opened the candy wrapper excitedly, put the candy into his mouth, and licked it slowly.
She won't bite because then the candy will be gone in one go.
Little Pumpkin cherished these candies and kept the candy wrappers. This is one of the best collections for children of this era!
Others include wine bottle caps and the like.
Of course, girls collect candy wrappers a lot, and wine bottle caps are boys’ collectibles!
At this time, there were no comic strips, or in other words, no new comic strips, no stickers, and no cards, so the collection could only be these.
Su He and Gu Dong went into the water. Gu Dong said they came to catch fish, but in fact, more importantly, they came to play in the water.
It is very comfortable to swim in the river on this hot day.
Black Star also got into the water and soaked in the water. He lowered his head and picked up some water plants from the river to eat.
Su He said to Gu Dong: "I'm going to catch fish. Be careful. In this weather, cramping is no joke."
What I fear the most when going into the water on a hot day is cramps.
Once a cramp occurs, it is no joke and can easily lead to drowning.
Gu Dong smiled and scolded: "You should be careful. I'm just going to play in the shallow water!"
His family is not short of food and does not need these.
Gu Dong has an uncle who is an official of a supply and marketing cooperative, and Gu Dong has never been hungry at all.
How can you have that feeling of urgency if you haven't tasted the taste of hunger?
Su He said no more and plunged into the water, looking for fish in the water.
He also thought: "It would be nice if I could take out the swimsuit and goggles."
Su He also has a set of diving equipment in his portable warehouse. It would be much easier if he could take it out and wear an oxygen tank to catch fish.
It's a pity that he can't take it out.
Su He was pretty good at catching fish, and he soon saw a mullet!
The mullet was quite big. He approached slowly, fearing that he would scare the mullet away!
When it was only a few dozen centimeters away, he quickly reached out and grabbed the gills of the mullet.
Mullet was wary and almost ran away.
Fortunately, Su He had predicted the possible escape location of the mullet in advance, and calculated his direction based on the current flow and the direction of the shot.
This is what Uncle Jiu taught. Although it is not necessarily accurate, there is a high probability that it is accurate.
The fish was very powerful and Su He was carried for a while.
Su He hurriedly put the fish into the workshop on the first floor of the portable warehouse. There was a bucket with water in it.
When the mullet entered the portable warehouse, he actually jumped a few times and almost jumped out of the bucket.
This fish is really strong!
Su He surfaced, took a breath, and showed a smile on his face.
The mullet just now weighed at least seven or eight pounds.
In this era, there was no pollution from later generations, and there were more fish in the river.
Plus there aren’t usually that many people thinking about it, so there are quite a lot of fish.
Su He dived several times, but most of the time he came up short.
There is nothing we can do about it. Although there are many fish in a river more than ten meters wide, it will not be crowded.
The fish themselves are also intelligent. If there are many fish here, they will spread out.
This is also due to food. Some fish eat plankton. If there are more fish of the same species, there will be less plankton.
Chasing food is also the instinct of living things!
However, Su He's luck was pretty good. After entering the water several times, he successfully caught four fish.
Slowly, Su He arrived at the wild lotus root.
Su He suddenly thought: "If you get a few large tanks in your portable warehouse, you can also transplant some wild lotus roots into them. This stuff is also a good thing. In addition, you can also get some fish in and raise them. I remember, my portable warehouse There is a small oxygen generator inside. In this way, the fish will not die easily. You can also get some aquatic plants and so on. With light, you don’t have to worry about the aquatic plants not growing. This is a relatively complete food chain.”
