There seemed to be some changes in the capital, but there were no changes at the same time. He had only been away for a few days. How could there be any changes? Several roads were under construction, and several old houses were being demolished.
Young people were still chatting and dating, learning romance from the movies. They were proud of carrying bags for girls and specially abused single people.
The girls' makeup skills had improved. The color of their faces and necks were finally consistent. The more fashionable ones even trimmed their eyebrows and wore beautiful dresses of various colors.
As for the men, they were far behind. They dared to call themselves fashionable young people with flowery shirts, aviator sunglasses, and the ability to hum a few Hong Kong and Taiwan songs.
The natural love of beauty had nothing to do with the progress of thinking. Women were always the main force of fashion trends.
Li He had just arrived home and opened the door. Even the two dogs at home were stunned, and then they jumped over happily.
Li He had a lot of bags on him, but he had no time to play with them. He immediately used his heels to block them. He didn't dare to use his strength to block them. The female dog was already pregnant, and it wouldn't be long before it gave birth.
The sun had already set, but it was still very hot. It was already five o 'clock. Li He was confused. He didn't know where they went.
There was no one in the central room, and no one in the backyard. It was impossible for someone to go out. At least they would lock the door if they went out.
It was so hot and stuffy. Li He first took a shower by the well, and then made a pot of tea. He carried the teapot and slowly went to the small garden in the front yard to look for them. There was no one else, so they could only be there.
The small vegetable field in the front yard was developed by He Fang. There was basically no space for them to step on. Cabbages, cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers were basically all planted, and they looked like people.
When Li He saw He Fang, he almost didn't recognize her.
He Fang was wearing Li He's old coat and rain boots. She was holding a shovel in her hand and was cleaning the mud in the pond. She had to throw the mud ashore with every shovel. She was sweating profusely. Her face and hair were also speckled with mud, and her hair was tangled.
The mud had piled up into a large area, and the chickens and ducks at the side were rummaging through the mud for loaches and shrimps.
When he saw Li He, he was pleasantly surprised and said, "You're back! Wait for me, I'll go up after I'm done with this."
Li He said, "The weather is so hot, aren't you just messing around? A good rest is the most basic respect for the summer holidays."
He Fang said angrily, "Then how can I expect you to do it? The pond was about to be blocked, and not a single drop of water could be contained. If it's empty, at least it can store water when it rains, and I can use it for my vegetable garden. "
The pond had already been cleaned by He Fang until it was more than three meters deep. After the surrounding mud was dug out, it was widened, and the pond could finally be called a pond. With such a large amount of work, and also requiring a lot of arm strength to throw the mud ashore, it was indeed not easy for a girl. Li He couldn't take it anymore, so he said, "Then I'll go down and do it. You come up and wash."
"Don't, you just took a bath, and you still need to change your clothes. I'm the one who's tired." He Fang quickly stopped Li He, who was about to come down, "If you're afraid of the heat, you can stay in the bamboo forest. It's cooler there."
"Of course I'm afraid of the heat. Everyone is afraid of the heat. If I die, don't forget to install an air conditioner in my coffin."
"You're always talking nonsense." He Fang pointed at the two wooden buckets at the bottom of the bamboo forest and said, "Look, how do you handle the fish in there? Can the red fish be eaten?"
When Li He heard that it was red, he rushed over excitedly. One bucket was filled with crucian carps and catfish, and there were also some loaches swaying in the muddy water.
Looking at the other bucket, there were actually five or six wild red arowanas. One of them was at least ten years old, and its tail was already completely red. This wild golden dragon had evolved from the local wild crucian carp, and it wasn't a common one like the Malayan golden dragon.
This was definitely a pleasant surprise for Li He. This red golden dragon had always been an ornamental fish for rich families, and it was usually kept in a water tank. It was rarely kept in a pond because the survival rate was low, and after laying eggs, the eggs were basically eaten by other fish, making it difficult to reproduce. That was why it was said that it was a miracle to be able to live in this kind of muddy pit for more than ten years.
Of course, in terms of age, there was no problem at all for a wild golden dragon to live for more than a hundred years.
This was simply discovering a new continent. This kind of fish was very precious, and there was no market for it. From its appearance, it looked similar to the Malayan golden dragon, but the wild golden dragon was silver before it grew up, and it would change color as it grew older.
As for selling it? Li He didn't even think about it. In the future, if he bought a big fish tank and put it in his house, it would be a five-star weapon.
Looking at the fish in the bucket that were almost dying, the water in the bucket couldn't withstand the evaporation of the hot weather.
Li He hurriedly carried it to the well, found a new basin, and poured all the water into the big basin. The original dirty water was not changed, but new water was poured in. It was nourished by water, so it would not hurt the vitality.
He also found the oxytetracycline, crushed it, and mixed it in the water basin. This oxytetracycline was often used by He Fang to feed chickens and ducks.
Although these fish were listless now, with the oxytetracycline, Li He was confident that they would be alive and kicking in three or four days.
The water basin was not brought into the house. Li He decided to bask in the sun tomorrow morning to warm the water, and then kill and kill the poison.
He Fang looked at Li He's cautious look and couldn't help but laugh, "Is it as precious as you say?"
"What do you know? It's hard to buy a good heart. It has nothing to do with whether it's precious or not."
"I'm too lazy to talk to you. Hurry up and take out your dirty clothes. I'll wash them after I take a bath." Just as she turned around, she asked, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll go buy some groceries."
"I'll go buy it. You take a bath."
Li He put the fish basin away and thought about buying a big water tank tomorrow and putting it in a cool corner. These fish would occasionally change the water, and he didn't need to worry about anything else.
Li He had lived here for a long time, so he was familiar with the neighbors. Although he didn't talk much, he would smile and nod at people he met.
The chatty old lady said, "This family is going to have two university teachers soon."
Li He shook his head. He didn't know how this gossip spread so fast.
He Fang and Old Madam Li wouldn't go around showing off, so only Yu Dehua's mother, Old Madam Yu, could do it. At first, she wasn't used to it, but she slowly recovered her nature as a big sister in the capital. She found her old sisters and could be considered a member of an organization.
Li He didn't enter the market. He just bought some vegetables at the entrance and cut some streaky pork from the butcher's table.
Smelling the scones, he couldn't move his feet. He had been on the train for nearly 30 hours, and he hadn't eaten anything. His stomach was a little growling.
He turned around and bought a few scallion pancakes to fill his stomach.
That night, when Old Man Lee came back, he naturally liked the golden dragons, so Li He didn't have anything to do.
Old Man Lee still thought that Li He was a hindrance. Li He naturally cursed in his heart. I'm only a few years older than you, so don't take advantage of your seniority.
After dinner, Li He handed a thermos cup to Old Man Lee. "I brought this back for you. You can make tea in the winter. Don't be afraid of it getting cold."
Old Man Lee glanced at it but didn't take it. "Can you drink tea in an iron cup?"
"There's a ceramic insulation inside," Li He said patiently.
"Nothing is better than my teapot." After saying that, he took a sip of tea, turned around, and stepped out of the door. He wanted to return to the backyard and continue playing with the golden dragons.
"Don't show off. There were no tea leaves in the past, but you still drank plain water."
