    In the early morning, after Sun Gang got up, he jogged out and exercised.  ("".com is updated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with pure txt hand-written novels.com)

    Although the spring was cold and cold, Sun Gang felt the spring breeze flowing around him, so refreshing and refreshing, the spring scenery was infinitely good.

    The sun is round and red in the morning, which is quite lovely.  The sunshine is gentle yet warm, refreshing and refreshing, shining on every corner of the earth, dispelling the darkness of dawn, presenting beautiful scenery to the earth, and bringing infinite spring.

    There is a pool of spring water in the weir pond. Under the blowing of the spring breeze, the lake surface ripples, blue and sparkling, like a beautiful girl, passionate, pure and yet dignified and charming.

    In the spring morning, it is slowly recovering, full of vitality and pregnant with hope.

    The sky is as blue as a wash, with white and flawless clouds embedded in it.  They have no lines, as if they are only rendered with paint, mixed with each other.  Running like a sheep on the blue grassland.

    The grass on the roadside is still yellow, which makes people feel that winter has not gone far yet.

    But if you take a closer look, you will see that thin, green branches and leaves have grown out, which makes people feel more inspired. This is the messenger of spring, the melody of life, and the rebirth of ice and snow.  Spring is coming, and under the caress of spring, life is rejuvenating.

    After a winter of wind, snow and severe cold, it¡¯s time to start growing again. Life is endless and nothing can stop it.

    The wind blew away the clouds, and the scent of green grass mixed with the earthy smell floated around. Drops of dew dropped playfully on the tips of the buds, making them even more shy.

    Trotting in the morning of early spring, bathing in the morning light of early spring, I feel so relaxed and at ease. The bright green eyes bring me a comfortable and happy mood, making me full of energy. I am full of energy, facing the new sun, and running freely in life.  on the road.

    Running on the weir and pond ridge, waves of soft wind blew on my face. Although it was cold in spring, I didn't feel that cold. Instead, the wind cleared the sky and the earth. It was particularly refreshing and pleasant along the way.  people.

    It¡¯s a clear morning in the countryside.  On the road leading from village to village, children going to school pass by from time to time.  (¡¶¡·Íø.com)

    In the fields, the overwintering straw has softened into the muddy water, preparing organic nutrients for the crops.

    At this time, half of the rice fields were filled with water and half were dry, with their chests openly exposed.

    All of this melts warmly in the morning sun of early spring, looking so contented.

    This is also a morning that brings back memories.  When I was a child, every morning in early spring, when the sky was just getting dark, I would get up early and go with my brother to harvest the eel baskets (wine bottle-shaped) dropped in the fields at dusk yesterday.

    Generally, loaches are loaded into the water by piercing a hole in the rice field ridge with a stick, and the water in the field will flow down. Loaches like to go here the most.

    Because the rice fields have undergone a winter of precipitation, they are full of nutrients.  Moreover, it¡¯s too cold outside in winter, so eels and loaches don¡¯t come out to look for food much, so they like to come out during this season.

    Usually placed in the middle of the winter paddy field, no running water is needed, but more attention is paid to the method.

    First, make a not deep or shallow trough where the basket is placed.  Then, put the bait prepared that day with mud lumps directly above the mouth of the basket, so as not to expose the water.

    In a paddy field, baskets can usually be placed a few meters apart in any direction.

    In order to facilitate collection the next day, we collected materials locally, folded a few crisp mugwort stalks on the field ridge, inserted them next to the baskets, and marked them.

    The biggest reward for a tirelessly happy young man is to gain unlimited youthful fun.

    At that time, as soon as the Lantern Festival was over, the friends got busy. They cut bamboos from the front and back of the village and asked Uncle Li, the bamboo craftsman in the village, to weave eel baskets.

    The basket is relatively simple and practical.

    On the days when the baskets are put out, the children are busy making preparations for putting out the baskets as soon as they get out of school in the afternoon.

    Making fishing bait, enclosing fields and dams, etc., I didn¡¯t go home until dark.

    The next day, no matter how cold the weather was, I got up early to get the basket.

    Teenagers are the age of sleepiness. If they want to do other things, their parents can¡¯t wake them up even if they shout at their throats.  ("".com is updated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with pure txt hand-written novels.com)

    ¡°Only this matter, they never let their parents worry about it.

    When I take the basket out of the water and see tubes of eels or loaches jumping around in the basket, I feel so happy.

    Put it in a bucket and raise it. After a week, in addition to improving your life, you will often have eels and loaches weighing five to ten pounds.  Wait until you go to the market and get it from the market.?Sell it, and after a long time, the tuition fee for one period will be almost the same.

    At that time, there were many paddy fields in winter, and there were also many loaches and eels.  Maybe it has something to do with the fact that chemical fertilizers and pesticides were not abused as much as now.

    The crisp sound of "chirp" brought Sun Gang back from the memories of his youth.

    ??Looking around, we saw a few birds jumping back and forth among the branches beside the weir pond.

    Looking up and down, Sun Gang tried hard to find the figure of the village boy collecting the basket.

    However, in the empty fields, where is the scene of Sun Gang's childhood?

    At this time, several duck calls were heard, and a large group of ducks playing in the water and rubbing their feathers were swimming in the weir pond.

    Isn¡¯t ¡°The Duck Prophet of Warm Water in Spring Stream¡± exactly the plot in Su Shi¡¯s poem ¡°An Evening Scene on the Spring River in Chongqing, Inscribed on Huichong¡±?

    When he returned home, Sun¡¯s mother, who was cooking on the fire, said to him: ¡°Gangba, your uncle¡¯s family is harvesting pears today, go and help.¡±

    "Well, okay, I'll go over after dinner."

    The skin of ground pear is purple-black, the flesh is white, sweet and juicy, crisp and delicious. It has been known as underground snow pear since ancient times.  It can be regarded as both a fruit and a vegetable, and is a popular seasonal product.

    Dilier, also called Dilier, horseshoe, scientific name is water chestnut.

    It is named because it is shaped like a horse's hoof and resembles a chestnut.  Calling it a horse's hoof only refers to its appearance; saying it resembles a chestnut means not only its shape, but also its nature, flavor, ingredients, and functions. Also, because it bears fruit in mud, it is called ground chestnut.

    After breakfast, Sun Gang went to his uncle's house. His uncle and aunt were preparing to go out to work in the fields.

    "Gangba, here you go, have you eaten?" asked my aunt.

    "Auntie, I've eaten, and I'm here to help you collect the pears today."

    "We are getting ready to go out. I'm going to crank the tractor." Zhang Dasuo picked up the handle of the walking tractor and the handle cranked in a few clicks.

    Carrying the tools and sitting on the handrail, we arrived at the edge of the field in a short time.

    There are busy sounds in the nearby fields, either tractors or buffaloes are being plowed and raked.

    After harvesting the early rice, Zhang Dasuo planted pears on this multi-acre field.

    "While other people's fields are left with only bare rice stubble, Zhang Dashuo's field is full of green. After waiting for a long winter, it can be harvested.

    Digging pears is not an easy task, nor is it very interesting.

    Zhang Dazu drained the water more than ten days ago, so the fields are still very muddy.

    By this time, the water chestnut leaves had dried and fell softly to the ground, like a thick dark yellow carpet.

    Sun Gang wore long water boots and a pair of rubber gloves and went down to the field.

    Using a long nail rake to open up a large piece of mud, many pears were lined up like soldiers, and then they were picked out one by one with their hands, so their hands were covered with mud.

    I was working with gloves on, but my fingers became inflexible after being stained with mud, so I gave up wearing gloves.

    Although the sun was shining in the sky, the temperature in the mud was still not high. After working for a while, Sun Gang's hands and feet were frozen to the bone.

    The surrounding area is empty, and the wind makes it look even colder.

    Sun Gang was squatting in the field, looking for targets in the cold mud. When he came, he brought a small bench to sit on, but the four bench legs sank into the mud, making it inconvenient to move.

    When I was tired, I sat down on the ridge of the field to rest.

    "Gang baby, take a rest." My aunt said beside me.

    "It's okay, Auntie, I'm not tired, I'm just a little bit frustrated." This frustration isn't about my mood, it's about being stuck in the mud, making it difficult to move.

    After a busy morning, we harvested several baskets of pears, which was relatively fast.

    After my aunt returned home, she scoured the ground for pears by the weir pond in front of her house, cleaning out all the mud.

    After being washed, the pears are rosy in color, round in size, and crystal clear.

    During the meal, we chatted and found out that Zhang Dasuo was inspired by others to plant pears.

    There are many paddy fields in the village. After the rice is harvested in the autumn, they are left there without planting anything, which seems a bit wasteful.

    In other counties, he saw many people planting lotus roots and pears in the fields after the autumn harvest.  This low-lying polder was suitable for aquatic crops and was very promising, so more than an acre was planted on a trial basis. This was the first year.

    He specially went to buy seedlings from others at high prices. This kind of pear variety is fat and fat. The larger water chestnuts only weigh more than 10 per kilogram. At the same time, they have bright red skin, thin skin and fine texture.  It is well-known in the market for its characteristics of whiteness, crispness, less residue and more juice, and is favored by people.

      In fact, growing water chestnuts is not difficult. The main thing is to grasp two key points. The first is to ensure the water level in the field. Water chestnuts are aquatic plants. If they want to grow well, clean water is indispensable. Once the water is low, it will affect the growth of water chestnuts, resulting in  Water chestnuts are stunted.

    Zhang Dasuo gave his nephew a talk about the Dili Sutra. While flipping through books on aquatic crops, he told Sun Gang that water chestnuts are rich in nutrients and have extremely high medicinal value. They have the effects of clearing away heat, resolving phlegm, and eliminating accumulation, and are helpful in treating the spleen and stomach.  It is especially suitable as an auxiliary therapeutic food for patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, diabetes and other conditions such as weakness and loss of appetite.

    Sun Gang picked up the washed pear and took a bite without peeling it. It was crispy and sweet, with thin skin and tender flesh, with sufficient moisture. After chewing, it was sweet and without residue.

    In the afternoon, I was busy for a long time. In the evening, my uncle led me to have a few drinks. According to his words, after drinking in the evening, I went to bed, which made it easy to fall asleep and relieve fatigue.

    In this way, Sun Gang returned home crookedly carrying the pear given by his aunt.

    After Sun Gang came home, his mother said to him for a while.  Sun's mother didn't like her son being drunk. After talking about her son, she also talked about her brother, although Zhang Dasuo was not with her.

    He said he was tired and thirsty, so he ate a few pears and continued.
