All four of them had buckets in their hands, and it was hot at noon, and they didn't have to run far before they were too hot.

Niu Xiaoqiang wiped his sweat: "Let's go slowly, anyway, we won't go out to work until half past two in the afternoon, and the time is definitely in time." ”

The three nodded in agreement. Since there are no mountain roads to connect them, everyone needs to find a way forward through thorns, and when they reach Hope Farm, everyone has more or less wounds on their bodies. But compared to lofty ideals, what is such a small injury?

Walking to Yetang, Niu Xiaodong looked at the water level and asked, "Brother Qiang, does the current water level meet your requirements?"

Niu Xiaoqiang glanced around and nodded: "It's almost enough, tomorrow morning we can find the narrowest place to build a dam and divide the wild pond into two parts, one part for big fish and one for fish fry." ”

Niu Xiaoyong on the side couldn't help but rub his hands: "Brother Qiang, the water level has dropped so much, why don't we go down and find out how many fish there are." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang originally wanted to refuse, but seeing that the other two friends were also eager to try, he had to nod: "That's fine, but you can't make a fool of yourself, otherwise you will choke the fish to death if you make too much confusion in the water." ”

"Got it!"

The three of them agreed, then took off their coats and went into the water. Although Niu Huahua is a girl, the girls in the mountains are not so particular and will often play in the water with boys, so she is not embarrassed.

Niu Xiaoqiang actually wanted to go down too, but he couldn't swim, so he could only stand on the shore and watch.

The three of them chose the deepest place in the water, which was originally as deep as one meter and eight, but now it is only about one meter, which is less than their chest. The three of them bent over lightly and groped under the water, and without much effort, Niu Xiaoyong first screamed: "Wow! I touched a fish! What a big fish!"

Before he finished speaking, the others heard a commotion on the water, and the water splashed Niu Xiaodong and Niu Huahua's face all over his face. Not only did the two not get angry, but shouted excitedly: "What a big fish! Haha!

Niu Xiaoqiang had been watching all the time, and he clearly saw that the splash just now was slapped by the tail of a big fish. According to the intuitive impression at this glance, Niu Xiaoqiang felt that this fish must be more than ten catties, and he couldn't help laughing: "I don't know how many years this wild pond has existed, and it has never been drained, I have long thought that there will definitely be big fish in it, and now it seems that my guess is right!"

Niu Xiaodong turned his head to look at Niu Xiaoqiang: "Brother Qiang, why don't we grab one and go back to try it?"

Niu Xiaoqiang immediately shook his head: "Not yet, if we take the fish home, how should the family answer when they ask?"

Niu Xiaodong sighed and said regretfully: "It's a pity that we can't eat the fish we caught ourselves." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled: "Not really, we have to go to the school the day after tomorrow to get the report card, and then take the opportunity to sell the fish here to Boss Gao, and then each take a fish home, if the family asks, it is said that it is to help the teacher dry the fish pond at school, and the teacher gave it to us, so that we can not only eat the fish, but also find an excuse, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

In this era, students often participate in voluntary labor organized by the school, so everyone thinks Niu Xiaoqiang's words are very feasible.

Niu Xiaoyong couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "It's still Brother Qiang, it's so decided!"

"Alright, everybody, get up, don't make the water too muddy. ”

"Yes. ”

After the three of them climbed out of the pond, they followed Niu Xiaoqiang to find a shady place to dry their clothes, and Niu Huahua mentioned a question she was very interested in during the chat: "Brother Xiaoqiang, you told us about scientific breeding last time, what is scientific breeding?"

Niu Xiaoqiang did not hide it, and said honestly: "Scientific breeding refers to the full use of various resources through overall planning, so as to obtain the most ideal output, for example, our hope farm, according to my plan, will breed pigs, chickens and ducks and other poultry, but also grow vegetables, Planting fruit trees, planting vegetables can be used to feed chickens and pigs, chickens, ducks and pigs can use the manure pulled out of the field to fertilize the field, can also be used to fertilize water to raise fish, the water in the fish pond can irrigate the vegetable garden and fruit trees, so that a virtuous circle can be formed, this is what I call scientific breeding technology, it sounds like no big deal, but if the real implementation, the output of agricultural and sideline products will definitely increase. ”

Although the three of them are all from farming families, all the farming in the mountains are in accordance with the methods handed down by the older generation, and no one has ever thought about the scientific breeding technology that Niu Xiaoqiang said. After listening to Niu Xiaoqiang's explanation, the three of them admired him even more and expressed their admiration.

Niu Xiaoqiang waved his hand embarrassedly: "Don't praise me like this, I also heard it from others." ”

Niu Xiaodong sighed: "You are not the only one who hears it, right? But how many people dare to try? So don't be modest." ”

The other two also have the same opinion, and they all say that Niu Xiaoqiang is a man of action who dares to think and do.

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't bother to excuse himself, and waited until the three of them stopped talking, and then he spoke: "Actually, what we are doing is more like an experiment." ”

"Experiments?"

"Yes, it's an experiment, according to my idea, if our experiment is successful, we should take the initiative to promote scientific breeding technology to adults, so as to drive the entire Niujia Village to become rich together, wouldn't it be better?"

The three of them are all half-grown children, and with the restrictions of the environment, how can they think so far-reaching as Niu Xiaoqiang? Hearing this, the three of them were stunned for a while before they spoke:

"Yes, yes, we can't patronize ourselves, we have to take care of our parents and fellow villagers, so that everyone can make a fortune with us!"

"Yes, I fully support this idea!"

"Brother Xiaoqiang, you are so great!"

Niu Xiaoqiang felt helpless about the admiration of the three people, and he thought to himself: In fact, these ideas are not new outside the mountains, but in the mountains, they are so groundbreaking, and the thoughts of the people in the depths of the mountains are so backward, which shows that if you want to make a fortune, changing your thinking is the most critical link.

sighed and sighed, Niu Xiaoqiang did not mean to help everyone change their minds, not because he didn't want to, but because he felt that it was difficult for him to do it. Take Hope Farm as an example, even if it turns out that scientific breeding technology is indeed feasible, it is still very difficult to promote it to the entire Niujia Village.

Ideological problems aside, the defect of start-up capital alone can discourage the villagers. All Niu Xiaoqiang can do is play an exemplary role, and nothing else can be done. This is something that the state needs to support, and he can't be allowed to personally contribute money to help the villagers invest, right? In other words, does he have this obligation? What's more, does he have so much money?
