Chapter 847 Where is the fish?
Xiao Xiao was busy for the whole morning.
……
Dig out the pond mold, spread a layer of wet sand on the bottom of the pond, lay the pond-specific waterproof liner in the dug pond, fix it with stones around it, and fill it with water.
Finally, cover the edges of the pad with stones.
……
It took several people several days to complete the work, but Xiao Xiao finished it in just one morning.
There are still some final finishing touches.
Make the pond look more beautiful and natural, and blend into the entire yard.
……
However, the major part has been completed, and the remaining minor adjustments can be improved slowly later.
……
"Xiao-"
Xiao's mother, who walked out of the house and wanted to call Xiaoxiao to eat, stopped talking abruptly, and her mouth opened a little wider unconsciously.
……
There is already a pond under the white plum tree which was empty in the morning.
The sunlight shines through the branches of the white plum trees, rippling the water with sparkles flashing in between, reflecting the flourishing flowers above.
"it's beautiful!"
Mother Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
……
"mom."
Xiao Xiao tilted his head to look at Xiao's mother with a bright smile, "How is it? Not bad, right?"
……
"good."
Mother Xiao nodded frequently, "Very good."
"Xiaoxiao, did you really do this all by yourself?"
"A whole morning?"
……
"Is there anyone else here besides me?"
Xiao Xiao found his mother's question a little amusing.
……
Of course Xiao's mother knew that there was no such thing.
However, the scene before her really made her feel a little unbelievable.
Isn't this too fast?
……
"Xiao-"
Father Xiao's voice suddenly stopped.
The facial expression was very similar to that of Xiao's mother just now.
……
This is probably the tacit understanding that couples develop after living together for a long time?
Xiao Xiao's eyes were filled with smiles.
……
"what happened?"
Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao who were behind walked forward with some surprise.
Then, the two old men were also stunned.
"This this……"
……
"Xiaoxiao, did you do all this by yourself?!"
Father Xiao was stunned.
Isn’t this too efficient?
……
"Yes, our son spent the whole morning making them."
Seeing the expressions of Father Xiao and the others, Mother Xiao, who had recovered, said with some pride, "Isn't that great?"
……
"awesome!"
Grandma Xiao praised repeatedly, "Xiaoxiao is so amazing!"
"Much better than your grandfather and father!"
……
Grandpa Xiao and Father Xiao, who were innocently caught in the crossfire, said:
Just praise your grandson, why bring it up with them?
……
Everyone walked around the two new ponds built by Xiao Xiao, admiring them with admiration.
"it's beautiful."
"It's so beautiful."
"It's true that the yard is different with a pond in it."
“It looks like a garden.”
……
The Xiao family members looked at Xiao Xiao with a rather strange look.
Although they knew that this child was always steady and worry-free, and since they had said that he would be able to do the job, they had never known that this child had such strong hands-on ability?!
The child who always sat quietly in his seat, drinking tea and reading books has really grown up.
For a moment, the Xiao family members all felt a little emotional.
Xiao Xiao smiled bitterly.
Did he seem unreliable before?
It was just a pond dug, but his parents and grandparents all looked so pleased that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Okay, let's go eat first."
“You can see the pond every day from now on.”
Mother Xiao showed her usual gentle smile, "But if you don't eat it now, the food will get cold."
After lunch, Xiao Xiao rested for a while and then went back to the work of digging the pond.
Practice makes perfect, and Xiao Xiao built the pond under the paulownia tree in a shorter time.
When the Xiao family walked into the yard at night, they found that the yard had changed a lot.
On both sides of the yard, under the white plum tree and under the sycamore tree, there are two ponds, one large and one small, surrounded by pebbles.
It was dusk and the sun was setting, and the pool looked as if paint had been poured into it, reflecting the beautiful sky and cloud shadows.
The white plum blossoms on one side are still as elegant as ever.
The petals, as white as mutton-fat jade, emit a faint glow.
It maintains its pure white purity amidst the heavy colors.
"This is."
After finally coming back to her senses from this heavily painted picture, she noticed that the plants around the pond looked familiar.
"It's the potted flowers and plants in the yard."
Xiao Xiao confirmed his mother's guess, "I transplanted them around the pond."
"good."
Grandpa Xiao narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Xiaoxiao is really amazing."
“These two pools are so well made.”
"Of course, grandma's grandson is awesome."
Grandma Xiao was beaming with joy, looking as proud as a child.
"it's beautiful!"
The old lady kept praising him, "Xiaoxiao is really amazing, you can make such a beautiful pond by yourself!"
"Xiaoxiao, you did a good job."
Father Xiao patted his son's shoulder vigorously, looking proud.
"Thank you."
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "But if you guys keep praising me like this, I'll feel embarrassed."
"What are you embarrassed about?"
Grandma Xiao said happily, "My grandson is so amazing!"
Xiao Xiao shrugged helplessly.
Xiao's mother laughed for a while, then helped her son out of the predicament and changed the subject.
"Xiaoxiao, where are the fish you want to raise?"
"Oh, and there are frogs, right?"
"Won't you put it in?"
“It’s already been put in.”
However, Xiao Xiao gave an answer that surprised everyone.
"Oh, it's already in?"
Xiao's mother squatted by the edge of the pool and looked more carefully.
but
Her inquiring gaze fell on Father Xiao who was squatting beside her, "Did you see it?"
Father Xiao frowned so hard that his face almost touched the water.
The newly filled pool water is crystal clear and you can see the situation below at a glance.
Where are the fish?
Not to mention frogs.
"what happened?"
Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao bent over and looked towards the pond, their eyes narrowed unconsciously.
The two old people are old, so naturally they can't squat down and look like Xiao's father and mother.
"what!"
Xiao's mother called out softly, which immediately attracted the attention of others.
"What's wrong? Did you see any fish?"
Father Xiao asked anxiously.
"No."
Mother Xiao shook her head and turned to look at Xiao Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, this wood is pretty good."
Everyone:.
"That's sunken wood."
Xiao Xiao introduced with a smile, "I also bought some duckweed and water plants."
"This way the pool won't look so empty."
"what!"
Xiao's mother called out softly again.
"What's wrong with you?"
Father Xiao asked helplessly, thinking that Mother Xiao was in the same situation as before.
