    Chapter 449: There are fish everywhere

    I thought that due to the heavy snowfall, not many tourists would come to Liujiagou to celebrate the New Year this year. Who knew that the situation was exactly the opposite. Within a few days of the twelfth lunar month, most of the farmhouses in the village were booked.

    ?Looking at this situation, it is even more popular than in previous years.

    Liu Junhao was puzzled. After asking someone, he found out that most people wanted to celebrate the New Year in Liujiagou and enjoy the snow.  Building snowmen and having snowball fights, games that people used to play when they were children, have now become luxuries in the city.  In previous years, when it snowed, all the snow plows in the city would be dispatched, clearing away the snow in half a day, without giving everyone a chance to reminisce.  The snow is quite heavy this year, but wastewater, waste, and gas are emitted everywhere in the city, making the snow dirty and dirty. Many people can only look at the snow and sigh, and prohibit their children from playing.

    These days, tourists continue to go to the mountain to take pictures of snow scenes, and then upload them to the 18th floor.  After reading these posts, many parents have thought of going to Liujiagou to celebrate the New Year.

    Many tourists who came here wanted to buy eels at Liu Junhao¡¯s house, but he rejected them all.  The climate is cold now, and most eels are still in their holes. If you want to catch eels, you have to dig holes, but I don¡¯t have that much energy.

    Besides, after a busy year, it¡¯s good to take a break during the Chinese New Year.  The most important job now is to take good care of my wife.

    This year, Liu Junhao and his wife were originally scheduled to go to the city to celebrate the New Year with Zhang¡¯s mother. However, after Zhang Qian went to the hospital for a check-up, Zhang¡¯s mother was afraid that her daughter would have an accident after going back and forth, so she discussed it with Zhang¡¯s father and decided to stay in Liujiagou this year.  Come on.

    In fact, I had planned to do this fetal examination for a long time, but the last time Liu Junhao took his wife to the hospital, he was stopped by a doctor he knew well. He said that doing B-ultrasound examination too early and frequently was not good for the fetus, so he should wait more than five months to go to the hospital for examination.  Just once.

    So the matter was delayed, and then the mountains were closed due to heavy snow. The two of them delayed it again and again, and it was not until two days ago that they went to the hospital for a check-up.

    ¡°When he was told that his wife was pregnant with twins, Liu Junhao was so happy that he couldn¡¯t open his mouth from ear to ear.

    Both the couple hope to have twins, a daughter and a son, so that they can have both a daughter and a son in one step, which saves trouble.

    In order to give the upcoming little one a loud and catchy name, Liu Junhao almost broke through the "Xinhua Dictionary" at home and finally found a few names as backups. Unfortunately, they are all useless now and must start again.

    Originally, he wanted to post a post on the Internet to ask questions and brainstorm ideas.  However, after looking at the results of an online inquiry by a netizen named Wang, it made people laugh and cry.

    Liu Junhao could only lament that there were so many crooked talents on the Internet, and decisively gave up the idea.  It's better to name it yourself and not accept any foreign aid.

    ¡° Anyway, there are still a few months left, so I can¡¯t even come up with a name.

    The snow on the road leading to the school has been cleared long ago, but there is still a lot of ice on the roadside.  School has resumed classes in the past few days. Liu Junhao is afraid that his wife will fall, so he plans to teach her for half a month. The class will be finished in the morning, and the rest is review.  He has taught for his wife before, and he knows a lot about the text, so he can completely do this for her.

    Unexpectedly, Zhang Qian refused to give in at all, and even said that the exam was coming soon. It was the sprint stage, so she felt uneasy staying at home.

    In the end, the two had no choice but to adopt a compromise plan. Liu Junhao would send his wife to school every day and pick her up after school.

    Anyway, it¡¯s not that far of a journey, so I walked back and forth twice to eat right away.

    The temperature has continued to rise in the past few days, and the snow in the fields has melted to some extent, revealing the green wheat seedlings. However, in many places on the shady side of the mountains, the snow is as deep as a person, and it is estimated that it will not be completely melted by next spring.

    The melting snow caused the water in the mountain stream to surge. There were many fish washed down by the water, most of them with their bellies turned upside down.  These fish were sealed in the ice and frozen to death due to lack of oxygen. Although the fish had been frozen in the ice for more than ten days, the temperature was always below zero, which is equivalent to storing the fish in the refrigerator. Logically speaking, it is completely edible.  .

    It¡¯s just that there are not enough live fish to eat, so people naturally don¡¯t hesitate to eat these dead fish. At most, they stay at the water¡¯s edge to look for big fish weighing more than two or three kilograms.  Big fish have strong resistance, usually hide in deep water, and rarely freeze to death.  At this time, the big fish seemed to have not woken up and was swimming slowly in the water, making it very easy to catch.

    Liu Junhao initially joined in the fun and caught a few fish, eating two meals in a row. The couple was completely uninterested, so they hung all the remaining fish under the eaves to dry, planning to wait for Zhang Ma and the others to come before eating.

    The waterfowl, who have been hungry for days, don¡¯t care about so many fish. After finally encountering so many fish, they will definitely eat and drink.  In recent days, Qingzhuang water ducks, cormorants, etc. all stretched their necks to stay by the ditch, and their heads stretched and retracted into the water from time to time.  There is no need to move the position at all, just stay in place and eat one by one without moving.

    &nbsp"Liu Junhao sent his wife to school. When he came back, he saw so many dead fish in the ditch in front of his door. He instinctively felt something bad and rushed to the backyard.

    Good guy, he was almost stunned.

    Most of the snow in the backyard has melted, and the water has almost reached the front yard This is not the point. The point is that there is a layer of dead fish floating on the water, which is very distressing to see.

    Liu Junhao had actually expected this result. The ditch in the backyard was dug to raise eels.  It is generally only 40 to 50 centimeters deep. It was frozen solid a few days ago, so the chance of fish surviving in it is very small.

    But he didn¡¯t expect the damage this time would be so great. There was not a single live fish in the ditch, which was very distressing.

    "It is not an option to leave these dead fish in the backyard. They must be fished out as soon as possible, otherwise they will become smelly in a few weeks."  Thinking of this, Liu Junhao quickly called Mr. Zhao next door to come over and help fish out the dead fish.

    Professor Zhao was also very panicked when he saw the scene in the backyard, and quickly asked the eel if there was any problem.

    "I just dug a few days ago. This year's eels drilled deeper holes and didn't freeze to death." Liu Junhao answered.

    "It's fine." Hearing that the eel was fine, Professor Zhao finally felt relieved, and then comforted, "These small fish are for the eels as food anyway, so it doesn't matter if they die."

    The two of them fished back and forth with nets in the ditch. They worked for nearly a whole morning and finally cleaned up the dead fish in the ditch.

    ¡°Do you want to dig the ditch and drain the water inside?¡± Professor Zhao finally asked again.

    "No, the water quality has not been polluted yet." Liu Junhao shook his head and turned to look worried at the pile of dead fish dumped on the shore.

    I am afraid there is no other use for so many dead fish besides feeding the waterfowl in front of the door. The key is that those guys are not short of fish to eat now.  If that doesn't work, I'll dig a hole in the afternoon and bury all the dead fish.

    They underestimated the appetite of the waterfowl. As soon as the two men threw baskets of dead fish to the edge of the woods, the waterfowl immediately began to compete for food.  Soon the domestic chickens and pheasants in the yard also joined the army of grabbing food, and then the whole forest became lively.  Various birds such as magpies, gray magpies, white-headed eaglets, etc. participated in this feast one after another.

    Many people think that only birds that swim in the water eat fish, but this is not the case. In fact, most birds have the habit of eating fish, provided they can catch fish.

    Ever since he learned that there had been a red bird in Liujiagou, Liu Junhao had become interested in this legendary big bird. He would go up to the mountain every now and then to check it out carefully and photographed many rare birds. Unfortunately, none of the red birds had any hair at all.  Not seen.

    There are so many birds by the ditch now. Liu Junhao stood there to check for a while, but still did not see the legendary big bird.  In all likelihood, this thing has completely disappeared in Daqingshan.

    There was such a big commotion here, and soon the tourists in the village knew about it, and they came over with their cameras to snap pictures.

    Liu Junhao watched for a while and was about to turn back to the yard when he was stopped by the old man: "Xiao Hao, do you think the water in the river is rising? Why do I feel that the water in this ditch keeps rising?"

    Professor Zhao stood by the wooden bridge for less than an hour and was surprised to find that the water had risen by at least five or six centimeters.

    "Normal." Liu Junhao glanced at the water duck jumping on the ice and replied, "This should be the reason why the snow in the mountains is melting. Even if the water in the river rises, it will reach the edge of the river embankment at most." The temperature has been high these two days.  The snow on the sunny side of the mountains melts, which naturally causes the water in the mountain streams to increase.  The water release capacity of the downstream sluice is limited, and it is normal for the water level in the ditch to rise.

    Hearing his explanation, Mr. Zhao didn¡¯t think much, turned around and called Liu Junhao back to the yard to play chess.

    Soon the two of them discovered that things were not that simple. Within half an hour, the water had already overflowed the road and flowed into the courtyard along the water channel.

    This time Liu Junhao could no longer calm down and hurriedly took the shovel to the river embankment to check.

    Before reaching the river embankment, the two of them were already frightened by the scene in front of them. The fields around the river embankment were full of water, and many fish were jumping on the bank.

    They didn¡¯t find out the reason until they saw the sluice on the river embankment.

    It has just thawed in the past two days. There are a lot of miscellaneous things such as ice, water plants, branches and dead leaves washed down from the upper reaches. I don¡¯t know how to block them at the sluice, and finally the water level continues to rise.

    Liu Junhao hurriedly ran to the bottom of the river embankment, dug and chopped with a shovel, trying to open the sluice gate.  Soon he found that he had taken it for granted. There was an unknown amount of ice packed into the sluice and it was completely blocked. Moreover, branches and dead leaves were constantly piling up downwards, making it impossible for him to dig it out by himself.

    He had no choice but to take out his cell phone and call Liu Guangju, asking him to call a few people over to help raise the floodgate completely.

    With more people and greater strength, it didn¡¯t take much effort. The sluice gate was completely opened with a bang.There was a lot of flow.  After more than half an hour, the water level came down. The ground was full of white dead fish, but no one was interested in picking them up.

    "Xiao Hao, I'm going to go to the street to beat sweet potatoes to make vermicelli tomorrow. Do you want to beat them at home? If so, put them in my car." On the way back, Er Mazi asked.

    "Yes, I'll clean it up this afternoon. I haven't eaten much of the sweet potatoes this year, so I'm just waiting to make vermicelli." This autumn, he and Professor Zhao's family harvested several thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes. Except for some of them, they were dried and dried.  Put them all in the well.  When it snowed, Professor Zhao was afraid that the sweet potatoes would freeze, so he deliberately built a reed stack above the well.
