Wu Diangong's sons and daughters are all married and working in other places. During the winter vacation, he and his wife helped their son and daughter-in-law take care of their grandchildren.
After retiring, he had nothing to do and planned to have some fun, thinking about raising fish for fun.
So, he quickly put together the fish tank and equipment. Many of the equipment was packaged and bought from this store. The price is moderate, which is cheaper than online shopping. Willing to buy in a physical store.
It was his first time to raise fish, and he didn’t dare to raise too expensive fish. He was afraid of wasting money if he couldn’t keep them alive, so he bought a few cheap seawater fish to practice his hands. Other old people said that to raise freshwater fish, you need to dry the water first, so it is better to raise seawater fish directly. Anyway, we are very close to the sea. It would be nice to ride an electric tricycle to the beach to pick up a few barrels of seawater, and even save the water bill.
When Electrician Wu heard this, it was really reasonable. My wife didn’t want him to raise fish, because he thought it was a waste of water and electricity. If she raised sea fish, she would be able to reduce half of her nagging, so let’s raise sea fish!
Binhai City is still cold in spring, and the indoors are not warm. The few tropical sea fish he bought need a water temperature of at least 25 degrees. Heating rods are essential.
At the beginning, the fish farming went well, and he spent most of his time tinkering with his fish tank every day, and he never got tired of it. Except for his wife nagging him all day long that he was not doing his job properly, and leaving all the tasks of raising grandchildren to her, everything was unbearable. called perfect.
Soon, the fish tank initially took shape.
Standing in front of the aquarium every day, Wu Diangong looks at the aquarium he personally arranged with bottom sand, live rocks and corals, and a few small fish of different colors swimming in the water. He is very relieved and full of a sense of accomplishment.
Neighbors and former colleagues occasionally came to visit, and they were full of praise when they saw the fish tank, and praised him for being a tinkerer.
After coming and going, my wife gradually stopped nagging, and sometimes even offered to help him feed the small fish.
The little fish grow up very fast.
Wu Diangong has been thinking about it for the past few days. It seems that he is very talented in fish farming. These few ordinary small fish can no longer satisfy his appetite. Maybe it is time to get some good fish, which will definitely attract neighbors and ex-pats. Colleagues looked even more enviously.
He has a lot of grass in his heart, and when he has nothing to do during the day, he rides his bicycle and runs outside, looking for fish markets and a few aquariums, shopping around and comparing prices, hoping to buy high-quality seawater fish that are worth the money.
However, in the past two days, the little fish seemed to be a little abnormal. They didn't sleep during the day and night, and they always ran around in the fish tank almost non-stop.
Seeing this, Electrician Wu was a little worried, wondering if the fish were sick.
He felt that he didn't have enough time to raise fish, so he temporarily postponed his plan to introduce high-quality sea fish.
One day, he bought a reference book on common diseases of sea fish from a bookstore and returned home, ignoring his wife's complaints and playing with his grandson.
The little grandson is very well-behaved and studies well. He is very worry-free at ordinary times. He likes fish and likes to watch Wu Electrician raise fish. He never makes trouble when he is playing with the fish tank. The task of changing the water.
Wu Diangong has always loved his little grandson very much and regarded him as the apple of his eye.
While playing, the little grandson suddenly pulled his arm and said mysteriously, "Grandpa, put your hand into the fish tank."
Electrician Wu was peeling apples. He felt that putting his hands into the water was unhygienic, so he smiled and said, "What are you doing with your hands in the fish tank? Grandpa is taking his hands to peel apples for you."
The little grandson held his arm like a well-planned game and was seen through, and said coquettishly, "Grandpa, stretch it! Stretch it! It's interesting!"
Electrician Wu smiled happily, and couldn't bear to refuse, so he put down the half-peeled apple first, and seeing that his wife didn't pay attention, he quietly wiped his hands on his pants.
"Okay, okay, let's see what my precious grandson wants to play with..." He smiled and stood up, reaching out to the water surface of the fish tank.
The moment his fingertips entered the water, a tingling sensation instantly spread throughout his body like an electric shock!
"ah!"
He quickly withdrew his hand in shock.
He is too familiar with this feeling, it's a leakage! And judging from the degree of numbness, the current intensity is not small!
"whee!"
The little grandson clapped his hands happily and laughed happily, as if his scheme had succeeded: "Grandpa! Grandpa! Isn't it numb?"
As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe and wanted to put his hand into the water as well.
Electrician Wu grabbed his little hand, "Don't touch the water!"
His tone was probably not very good, and so was his expression. The little grandson stared at his face, feeling a little scared.
"You old man, what are you doing to scare the children!" My wife was dissatisfied, and reprimanded with her arms akimbo: "Walking around outside all day, doing nothing at home, and scaring the children when you come home, do you think you The more you live, the more you go back?"
Electrician Wu couldn't care less about arguing with his wife, so he nervously grabbed his grandson's hand.
He was so frightened that his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he said in a trembling voice, "Son, when did you find out that it was numb?"
"Grandpa, my wrist hurts..." The little grandson's eyes were filled with tears of grievance.
Electrician Wu relaxed his grip, but still didn't let go completely, "Tell grandpa, when did you find out?"
My wife noticed his strangeness, felt a twitch in my heart, and watched the conversation between the two men anxiously.
The little grandson thought for a while, "When I changed the water yesterday morning."
"Was the water numb yesterday morning?" Electrician Wu confirmed.
"Not very numb... a little numb...not numb today." The little grandson replied.
The three sentences express the same meaning. Today's leakage is more serious than yesterday.
Electrician Wu's heart was about to break. If the grandson didn't let him put his hand into the water today, or if he just peeled apples and didn't put his hand in, would the leakage be worse tomorrow? When the children change the water tomorrow, will they...
He didn't dare to think about it anymore.
He wished he could punch himself a few times. The state-certified electrician saw the little fish scurrying around in the fish tank all the time. He didn't expect that it might be an electrical leakage, but he suspected that the little fish was sick
What a f***ing thing, a dog has lived to his age!
If something happened to the little grandson, the son and daughter-in-law would feel distressed to death, and he would be ashamed to live.
When the wife asked the reason, she was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground, held the little grandson in her arms, complained with snot and tears that he shouldn't raise fish, and almost killed the grandson!
Electrician Wu is open-minded. This is not a problem with fish farming at all. It is something leaking electricity in the fish tank.
As an electrician, he always has electric pens at home.
Put the electric pen into the water of the fish tank, and the pointer jumped directly to more than 70 volts.
