I farmed and raised children in ancient times

Chapter 35 Catching Fish
Qin Sheng didn't know that the neighbor's family had been staring at Xie's family for a long time. Since meeting his son, his mood has changed drastically.

He used to soak himself in wine all day long, and passed the days like years in a daze. Now, what he sees and thinks about every day is his son. He even thinks about his son's appearance several times before going to bed. Inconvenient, he even wanted to take on the task of taking care of Xie Lin.

pity--

Fumbling his still unconscious legs, Qin Sheng saw that Xie Lin had already learned the word 'teacher', so he asked softly, "Do you want to catch fish?"

Although he had only stayed at Xie's house for two days, Qin Sheng found that Xie Lin rarely went out to play with other friends in the village. Children under the age of six would help Xie Qing thresh wheat, feed chickens, and even sweep the floor at home. Make him sad.

Xie Lin's eyes lit up, but then he felt sad, "Mother said the river is dangerous, so she won't let me go."

"It's okay, I'm with you. And I can teach you how to catch fish, do you want to learn?"

"really?"

This time Xie Lin was excited, he had never caught a fish at this age!
"Do you want to call little uncle to come back with us?"

Xie Qing went to the field early in the morning after finishing his work at home, saying he wanted to weed.

"No need, let him be busy, there's another time!" Qin Sheng said.

Xie Lin thought about it, that's right, immediately threw the stick and stood behind Qin Sheng, ready to push him out.

"Wait a minute," he pointed to the bamboo basket in the corner, "take that, and the shovel next to it."

"Okay, sir!"

Xie Lin hurried over to put the small shovel into the bamboo basket and carried it on his back.

The wheelchair stopped by the small river, Qin Sheng couldn't move, everything could only be directed by words.

Fortunately, although Xie Lin was slow to recognize words, he learned these things very quickly. As long as Qin Sheng gave proper guidance, he would be able to do things well in no time.

After the fish basket was carefully placed by Xie Lin among the rocks by the river and slowly sank, Xie Lin sat on the stone beside Qin Sheng and rested his chin on his hands, waiting for the fish to fall into the net.

"Sir, why do fish throw themselves into the net? What does it mean to throw themselves into the net?" Although Xie Lin is slow at learning words, Xie Lin is a studious baby.

Qin Sheng touched his head and smiled slightly: "Let me ask you, what did you put in the bamboo basket just now?"

"There are leftover eggshells from this morning, and earthworms just dug nearby."

There was only one egg left in the morning, so Xie Qing boiled it for Xie Lin, but Xie Lin divided it into three portions, each with a small bite.The piece given to Qin Sheng was fed by Xie Lin himself into his mouth, which made Qin Sheng feel that it was actually the best egg he had ever eaten.

"Do you think those things will attract fish to eat them?"

Xie Lin nodded, his eyes lit up, "Sir, I understand!"

He stood up, shook his head and said, "If the fish can't stand the temptation of delicious food and run into the bamboo basket by themselves, it's called self-inflicted trap! Isn't it, sir?"

"Huzi is great!" Qin Sheng praised without hesitation.

Xie Lin smiled shyly after being praised, and sat down obediently again, waiting for the fish to fall into the trap.

"Sir, when will the fish fall into the trap?" His new question appeared again.

Qin Sheng asked him back, "Huzi wants to catch the fish sooner?"

"Of course! But—" He tilted his head and thought for a moment, and said, "I don't want to be that impatient kitten."

"Kitten?" Qin Sheng was a little surprised, and felt that he didn't understand what he said.

Xie Lin suddenly smiled, and said mysteriously: "Sir, I must have never heard the story of the kitten fishing. My mother told me, and I am the only one who has heard of it."

He looked smug.

Qin Sheng: ...

Kittens...fishing...story?

Which book is it in?
Seeing Qin Sheng's blank face, Xie Lin was suddenly happy!

"It turns out that there are things that my husband doesn't know. My mother is right!" He suddenly gained confidence.

Qin Sheng really couldn't think of any great truths that a little village girl could tell him, but he had never heard of the cat fishing story, so he asked, "What did your mother say?"

"My mother would tell me stories at night if she had time. She also told me to read more and learn more. She also said that there are countless knowledge in the world, and no one can learn them all! Including the teachers in the school. also the same!"

Speaking of this, seeing Qin Sheng's surprised face, he thought that his words disrespected the husband, so he immediately said: "But my mother also said that even if the husband doesn't know everything, he is still the husband, let me make a biography... Uh, I want to I can't get up anymore. In short, my mother said that anyone who is a teacher is extremely powerful! If I become a student, I must respect my husband!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Qin Sheng eagerly, "Sir, do I respect you?"

It took Qin Sheng a while to pat his head and said, "The tiger is doing very well! Can you tell me the story of the kitten fishing?"

Xie Lin's words shocked him, after all, in his impression, Xie Lin's mother should be similar to those ordinary country women.

"Of course!"

Xie Lin happily recounted the bedtime story Xie Zhilan told him in a childish voice, and then said, "Sir, do you like this story?"

"like!"

Although I don't know how the Xie family made up such a weird story, the truth in it is really easy to understand, which is very suitable for children to listen to.

"My mother also told the story of Snow White, which is very interesting!"

"snow White?"

Qin Sheng's heart skipped a beat, when did Dayu have another princess named Snow White?
Xie Lin didn't know what he was thinking, nodded and said: "Princess Snow White's mother died, her father married a stepmother, and the stepmother thought she was too beautiful, so she kicked her out of the palace..."

Xie Lin didn't tell the whole story, but Qin Sheng understood the meaning of the basic story. He twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and began to wonder what Xie's head was filled with, and how she made up such a bizarre story. of the story.

Yes, it is bizarre.

At least Qin Sheng has seen such stories that have never been recorded in the folk biographies handed down from history.

The two of them talked one by one and listened to each other. Time passed quickly. Qin Sheng's eyes fell on the place where the bamboo basket was placed. Seeing slight ripples, he immediately smiled and motioned Xie Lin to pull up the rope on the bamboo basket. .

The bamboo basket came out of the water with a 'splash', and Xie Lin's exclamation came the next second:

"Wow - caught a fish! Caught a fish! There are several, sir!!"

He hugged the bamboo basket tightly and ran to Qin Sheng's side, showing it to him as if offering a treasure.

Inside the bamboo basket were several fishes of different sizes struggling and jumping, the largest of which weighed about a pound, was a herring.

"Tiger is awesome! We have fish to eat today! Let's go home!" Qin Sheng looked at him, extremely satisfied with his son's performance!

Although Xie Lin is slow to read, he has a super good memory. Anyone who has learned to write will never forget it, just like his mother told him a story once, and he can actually retell it all over again. I am afraid that this ability His mother didn't find out, did she?

Qin Sheng feels that as long as he trains Xie Lin well for a few more years, his ability will definitely not be inferior to his own, and he can also relieve himself of the burden...

The two walked back home slowly, Xie Lin went to find a pot to raise fish, but Qin Sheng's eyes fell on the kitchen door which was pushed open.

Ok?Has anyone been to Xie's house?
