Military marriage, the last big man married the soldier king, the stronger the stronger

Just do it!

The members rolled up their trouser legs, took off their shoes, and walked into the puddle barefoot.

"Wait a minute." Jiang Yan stopped everyone, "Don't touch your feet. It's so cold. If you step into the mud, your feet will freeze off."

"Oh, country folks aren't that delicate."

"Yes, Xiao Jiang, it's no use wearing shoes. Your feet will be filled with mud. For this kind of wet mud, you should wear waders. We don't have waders, so we can only go barefoot."

"Who said there aren't any?" Jiang Yan took out the waders that she had prepared long ago, "Come over here and get your shoes. One pair for each person. Pick the ones that fit your feet."

When everyone heard that Jiang Yan had also bought waders, their eyes lit up and they showed happy expressions on their faces.

Who wants to go barefoot when you have waders to wear?

"Xiao Jiang, this pair of shoes costs several yuan. You can't buy them without a ticket. Where did you buy so many pairs? How much did they cost?"

"Yeah! This is too expensive." They all knew that the team had no money, and the money for building the fish pond was paid by the educated youth Xiao Jiang.

The new waders had a smell of raw rubber, but no one mindset was there. Instead, they thought the smell was pleasant and couldn’t let go of the waders.

Jiang Yan said perfunctorily: "I asked someone to buy it for me. It's cheap." There are plenty of these things in the space. They were all put into the space when collecting supplies.

Anyway, the space can hold it, no matter if it is useful or not, she just put it in. In the end times, food, water and medicine are the most precious. Who would have thought that this thing could be useful one day?

"The soles of these shoes are so thick, and the quality is better than what I saw at the supply and marketing cooperative before."

"There are some in the county department store, but the material isn't as thick as this one."

"Now that we have picked enough, let's get to work! Young educated youth Xiao Jiang bought us waders for fear that our feet would get cold. We must flex our arms and exert our strength."

"Yes! Work."

With one call, hundreds of members responded. They put on their shoes and stepped into the puddle, some stepping deep and some stepping shallow.

Jiang Yan guided them on the shore, first clearing out the silt, laying an anti-seepage membrane, compacting it, spreading medicine, laying base material, and finally putting the original silt back in the puddle.

[Lunzi, is your method reliable?] Jiang Yan had never raised fish before, and nothing would die in the space, so she couldn't figure it out.

[You still don't trust me? I promise there will be no problem. But you have to be careful with the feed and anti-disease medicine. ]

[No problem, just add some spiritual spring water and they will never get sick. ]

The work on the puddle took most of the day, and it was finally finished when it was almost dark. The puddle was not big, but the work was rather detailed and troublesome, and the members had never done it before, so they were unfamiliar with it.

When they were pulling the net at last, there was a joke. I don't know how they let the net go, but a living person was entangled in it. It took a long time to get the person out.

"Xiao Jiang, we're all done. Do you think there's anything else to do?"

"Pump water." Jiang Yan said, "Pump the water from the river in quickly, or I'm worried the fry won't last long."

When everyone heard this, they could no longer stay there and without even taking a breath, they quickly connected the water pump pipe several dozen meters out and pushed it into the river.

The pump started to work with a rumbling sound, and the puddle was soon filled up again. When the water was half pumped out, it was already dark.

Jiang Yan asked everyone to go back for dinner, but none of the members wanted to leave and wanted to stay.

"You're a girl, we can't just leave you here by yourself!"

"That's right. You won't die of hunger if you skip a meal."

"It's a serious matter to take care of the fry. Now that everyone has left, you can't call for help. That's not possible."

"That's right, Xiao Jiang, don't worry, we will help you fix the fish pond before we leave."

Jiang Yan felt indescribably touched. This piece of black soil nurtured the hardworking and capable people of Northeast China. They were down-to-earth and tolerant, and they should reap the wealth that belonged to them.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and a slight cold breeze blew, making people's bones ache.

The puddle was crowded with people, and many members of the commune and educated youth who had just finished work came over to watch the fun.

Dong Shuang brought two roasted sweet potatoes to Jiang Yan.

So many people hadn’t eaten yet, and Jiang Yan felt embarrassed to eat it, so she put the food inside her clothes.

The water pump cannot work all the time, otherwise the motor will suddenly burn out. It has to stop and rest, and it took until midnight to fill the puddle again.

"Give me a hand and put the fry in."

Some people were holding lanterns, and some were using hand lights to illuminate the scene.

Two large buckets of fish fry were carried and poured into the puddle.

It’s strange to say, the fish has been stuck in the bucket for a whole day, but it’s not dead yet. It’s jumping and splashing in the water happily, which is amazing to see.

When the fish entered the water, there was a burst of warm applause at the scene. The members cheered excitedly, as if they had seen the hope of a harvest.

"Thank you all for today. It's too late. Let's go back and have some rest!"

Jiang Yan added: "When the captain comes back, we will select the person in charge of the fish pond. However, everything will have to wait until after the autumn harvest. Let's go back first! Thank you all."

"Xiao Jiang, you are too polite. You are doing this for our team!"

"That's right, this is everyone's business, don't be polite with us."

Everyone was laughing and making noises, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly high.

In these still turbulent times, people seem to have found their direction amidst the confusion.

"Okay, go back! Everyone, go back." Li Changsheng shouted, "We still have to go to work tomorrow!"

The members responded and walked back happily, discussing something as they walked, without any signs of fatigue.

"Xiao Jiang, you should go back and have a rest too!" Accountant Ma said, "You are a hero. You have worked so hard."

The slogan of going to the countryside has been shouted for four years, but Accountant Ma has never seen an educated youth like Jiang Yan who is wholeheartedly concerned about the production team and the members!

"By the way, Xiao Jiang, the educated youth, why didn't the comrades who delivered the fish fry come into the village? The team leader has said several times before that we should treat them well, but look, we haven't even seen them."

"He has something urgent to do and it's an emergency mission, so he can't say more." How could she find such a fictitious person?

"I think the mission is more important, so let's not waste his time. Otherwise, when the car drives into the village, we have to unload the goods and chat with each other, which may delay the main business."

"Business matters."

Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "Deputy Captain, Accountant Ma, I'll go back first."

"Go back!"

Jiang Yan pulled Dong Shuang along, and the two of them walked towards the educated youth site, one step deep and one step shallow.

Accountant Ma and Li Changsheng stood by the fish pond for a long time.

It was clearly just a small puddle, but in their minds, this puddle had completely changed its appearance.

"Old Ma, do you think this fish can really be kept alive?"

"I think Xiao Jiang the educated youth is quite confident, so he should be fine."

"We have to build the house quickly, there are so many fish!"

"Yeah! Let's go back too!"

"Back."

The two men carried lanterns and left the puddle. No one saw that in the dark, a person was walking stealthily towards the fish pond.
