Traveling through 1942 with space

After seeing this scene, Hou Xiaoge suddenly realized why Second Aunt said that Hei Niu was taking advantage of her. It turned out that he had extra bamboo tube water!

However, Hou Xiaoge did not laugh. Instead, she felt respect for the frugal habits that were imprinted on rural women like Second Aunt.

It was already past four in the afternoon after dinner. It was impossible to fall asleep, so Hou Xiaoge, encouraged by his two cousins and a group of friends, headed for the river again.

"Heiwa, do you think we can catch some fish by the river? It would be great if we could have a fish meal." The accompanying sheep boy chattered in anticipation.

"How are you going to get it out? Use your big mouth and palm to get it out. The river is very deep. What if you fall in?

I’ll tell you this in advance. I can’t swim, so if any of you falls into the river, I won’t be responsible.

Actually, it’s better this way, you eat the fish and then the fish eat you, it’s still eating anyway.” Hou Xiaoge glanced at the seven or eight friends who were following him and warned.

Hou Xiaoge's move made all the little rascals become autistic. They looked like deflated balloons, with their heads drooping.

The two cousins knew that Hou Xiaoge had really caught the fish. They looked at each other from behind Hou Xiaoge and tried hard not to say anything for fear of laughing.

In fact, Hou Xiaoge said this to sound a warning to these little guys in advance.

As people from the north, water shortage is ingrained in our genes, so most of us have a natural love for water and can't wait to rush up and play in a river when we see one.

But no matter how much you like it, if you don't know how to swim and still dare to play in the water, that's suicide.

In his previous life, there was a small river in the village where Hou Xiaoge lived, but the terrain was too steep and it was difficult to go down. However, there was a flat river bank and a good road beside the river in the neighboring village, so people from a dozen miles around often went to the river in the neighboring village to fish and play in the water.

Hou Xiaoge's grandfather's house is right next to the river in the neighboring village. You can see the river by standing at the edge of his grandfather's wheat field.

Every time Hou Xiaoge went to her grandfather's house, as long as she was away for more than half an hour, her grandfather and uncle would definitely go to the wheat field to see if Hou Xiaoge had gone to the river.

When Hou Xiaoge was young, he was puzzled. Logically, his grandfather's house was by the river, so his grandfather or uncle should not be so afraid of the river. Why were they so afraid of going into the river himself?

It was not until Hou Xiaoge was a little older that her mother told her the answer to this question.

It turns out that Hou Xiaoge used to have a younger cousin who was only three years older than Hou Xiaoge's uncle, and was the son of her grandfather's younger brother.

As for my grandfather's younger brother, Hou Xiaoge calls him Fourth Uncle.

My fourth uncle only had one daughter in his life, and he had a son when he was almost 40 years old. He treats her very well and gives her whatever she wants.

That was in the 1970s and 1980s. My fourth uncle worked in a supply and marketing cooperative in the city. Unlike farmers, he earned a salary.

My cousin likes to eat candy, so the sugar jar at home is never empty. My mother said that when she was a child, she often saw her cousin holding the sugar jar and eating sugar with a spoon, and she and her cousin were so envious that they drooled.

Hou Xiaoge was also shocked after hearing this. You have to know that he was born in the 1990s and had to eat sugar secretly when he was a child. If he ate too much, he would get beaten.

Later, when my cousin was about to grow up, he was separated forever while swimming in the river in the summer when he was seventeen years old.

My fourth uncle was almost 60 years old and had only one son. His hair turned white overnight because his family line was cut off. My fourth aunt also had some mental problems and occasionally spoke nonsense. Just like that, a family that was once one of the best in the village was destroyed.

When Hou Xiaoge grew up, every summer, several children from other villages who came to play in the water would drown in the river in the neighboring village.

Hou Xiaoge still remembers that once a family of three children were drowned. This is simply a murderous river!

Therefore, Hou Xiaoge, who lived in a village with a river, was a landlubber who could only splash around in the water until he grew up.

As for why he splashed around in the water a few times, it was because he liked water and secretly went to the river to learn how to do it. However, he stepped on an undercurrent once and almost couldn't get out. After that, Hou Xiaoge never dared to go into the water again.

This branch of Luo River is much larger than the small river in my village, and the water flows very fast.

That's why Hou Xiaoge warned his friends in advance, otherwise they would not listen to him when they got to the river and would run around everywhere, and he would not be able to explain if anything went wrong when he returned.

In the afternoon, Hou Xiaoge did not lead everyone to the river section in the morning, but led everyone a little further away.

When we came to the slope of the ditch, we saw that many dry grass piles were slowly sprouting. It seemed that the heavy rain last night had indeed quenched the earth's thirst.

The baby's temper comes and goes quickly. The little rascals were walking listlessly at first, but they all perked up when they saw the green.

"There are weeds, go for it!"

"Come on!"

.........

The little guys didn't know where they got the strength from, but they rushed down the slope of the ditch with their baskets on their backs.

"You bastards, run slower or you might roll down the slope." Hou Xiaoge cursed with a smile from behind.

"No, we're being careful!" the sheep boy muttered as he stuffed wild grass into his mouth.

Looking at his childhood friend eating wild grass, Hou Xiaoge was speechless. This kid is worthy of being called Yangwa, as he started eating right away.

"Big brother, second brother, you lead everyone to continue picking wild grass to the east. I'm going to find something to catch fish." Hou Xiaoge looked at the friends who were scattered around looking for wild grass, and asked his two older cousins to watch them.

"Heiwa, I'll go with you. Just let my brother look after them." Erhuan was anxious.

"Brother, you have an important task! You have to keep an eye on these guys and don't let them disturb me while I'm fishing. Otherwise, if everyone shouts and runs around everywhere, it's easy to scare the fish away.

You keep an eye on them, I'll catch some fish and grill them for you." Hou Xiaoge used the PUA method directly.

"Heiwa, are you serious? Are you really going to give me grilled fish?" Erhuan's eyes widened.

"Second brother, you are wrong. When have I ever lied to you recently? If you are like this, my brother and I will keep the grilled fish for ourselves and you won't get any." Hou Xiaoge said with a deliberately stern face.

"Hey! No, no, I was just too excited when I heard about grilled fish.

"Don't worry, Heiwa! I won't let them disturb you while you're fishing." Er Huan replied quickly.

"That's good, big brother, you keep an eye on everyone and try not to let them out of your sight.

If you see several adults coming, run away quickly. There are bachelors robbing here. I saw them this morning. They were fishing in the river with guns. "Hou Xiaoge carefully instructed his cousin.

"Heiwa, I understand. You should be careful too." The eldest cousin nodded in welcome.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. We'll have grilled fish when we catch some." Hou Xiaoge finished drawing the pancake and slipped away.

After jogging for more than two hundred meters, climbing over several hills, and completely disappearing from everyone's sight, Hou Xiaoge returned directly to the space.

Catching fish was just a temporary excuse. It was easy with the spiritual spring water. Hou Xiaoge’s most important task was to build a rack for the vegetables.

Ten hours in the outside world is equivalent to eight or nine days of growth for plants in this space. Many vegetables that need trellises have already grown long vines. If the trellises are not built, they will become spider vines by tomorrow.
