Siheyuan: Baji heirs never forget

Chapter 54 Fishing
Early the next morning, while Zhao Xin's family was having breakfast, Qin Huairu led a girl into the middle courtyard.

The third uncle who was washing up across the door asked: "Huai Ru, is this your sister?"

"Good morning, third uncle. This is my cousin Qin Jingru." Qin Huairu said to the cousin beside her: "This is the third uncle in the courtyard."

"Hello, third uncle." Qin Jingru waved and said hello.

"Okay." The third uncle nodded. When he saw this girl, he thought of Wei Yuntao.

The third uncle took a few steps forward, came to Qin Huairu's side and said, "Huairu, do you really want to introduce your sister to Xu Damao?"

"How can that be possible? Xu Damao's character is not good, and my sister is just here to hang out." Qin Huairu knew what the third uncle meant and continued: "Third uncle, don't worry, I know the importance."

Zhao Xin's family ate in the house and did not go out, so they did not say hello to Qin Huairu.

"Remember what I told you." Qin Huairu led Qin Jingru to the main courtyard.

"Yeah, I'll remember it!" Qin Jingru agreed repeatedly, nodding like a chicken.

"Xu Damao is not a good person, you just need to meet him once, nothing else." Qin Huairu instructed again.

"Sister, do I remember it all? You have told me about Wei Yuntao in Weijiazhuang and this matter three times. Why are you more nagging than my mother!"

"Okay, just remember." Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at Qin Jingru.

This time she returned to her hometown not only to visit her family, but also to 'invite' her cousin on Xu Damao's behalf.As a result, after returning home and meeting her cousin, the girl actually asked if she could marry into the city. '

It is normal for people in the village to eat coarse grains and woudou, but in the courtyard, they can eat fine grains and meat. Qin Huairu has set a precedent, so how can Qin Jingru not be moved.

Xin Zhao didn't care about Qin Jingru's affairs, much less.

After dinner, the three children helped Lou Xiaoe wash the dishes and wash the pots. After a busy meal, the family rode a tricycle to Beishahe.

Xin Zhao’s daily morning exercises are near the Baisha River, but fishing is not allowed here. There is a lake outside the city, which is a good place for fishing.

The weather was a bit cold, so the three children were all dressed up.

Xin Zhao rode a tricycle for an hour before arriving at the lake.

At this time, the winter sun rose, and Xin Zhao took out special ice-breaking tools from the car.

Three holes were dug by the lake, and Lou Xiaoe also took her three children to find some earthworms on the nearby field ridge.

There are only six of them, but they are barely enough for fishing.After all, it's winter now, the lake is frozen, and the ground is frozen hard.

"Dad, do you want to kill the earthworms?" Zhao Yueyue looked at Zhao Xiandao.

"Yes." Zhao Xin nodded: "Yue Yue, if you are scared, just turn around and wait until dad prepares the string for you."

"Ah?" Zhao Yueyue raised her head as if thinking, and after a while she said, "I want to watch."

"Okay." Xin Zhao nodded, summoned a stone, and threw the earthworm on the stone a few times. After it couldn't move, it broke into two pieces.

Finally, it was strung on a fishhook made of needles.

Zhao Yueyue was a child after all. She said she wanted to watch, but she still covered her eyes with her hands.

"Dad, I'll go." Zhao Yutian shouted excitedly. He took the fishing rod from Zhao Xin's hand and threw the fishing line into the ice hole without Zhao Xin saying anything.

"Dad, I can just hold this fishing rod!" Zhao Yutian shouted.

"Yes." Xin Zhao continued: "The fish in the lake will eat earthworms later. You have to let them eat for a while before you can pull the line up."

"Yes." Zhao Yutian nodded, his eyes full of anticipation and excitement.

With Zhao Yutian's performance, Zhao Yueyue also looked at Zhao Xin with her eyes open. She was no longer afraid of the earthworm that was broken into two parts.She also wants to fish with a fishing rod like her elder brother.

Xin Zhao quickly strung the second fishing rod and handed it to his second daughter.

With Lou Xiao'e in charge, Zhao Yueyue also successfully threw the fishing line into the ice hole, waiting excitedly with a fishing rod in his hand.

Not long after, the third skewer was ready, and Zhao Zhixia became one of the people waiting with a fishing rod in hand without Zhao Xin’s words.

"Dad, there seems to be fish." Zhao Yutian shouted.

"Let him bite first, wait ten seconds and then pull slowly." Xin Zhao said.

"Okay." Zhao Yutian started counting: "One, two, three,...ten." Zhao Yutian shouted and ran back. "Dad, brother won't be taken away by the fish!" Zhao Yueyue shouted.

"Haha, if there is such a big fish, just throw away the fishing rod." Lou Xiao'e said at the side.

"Yes." Zhao Yueyue nodded and took note. She was a girl. If she encountered a big fish, she would have no choice but to throw away the fishing rod to protect herself.

At this time, the figure of a fish was revealed under the ice. It was the fish being pulled by Zhao Yutian's fishing rod. It was not that big, probably only about a pound.

"Wow, there are really fish." Zhao Yueyue shouted: "Mom, help me look at the fishing rod."

Zhao Yueyue handed the fishing rod to Lou Xiao'e's hand and ran towards Zhao Yutian.Xin Zhao reminded him that he had to learn how to walk the fish so that the fish could crawl out of the hole in the ice obediently without any strength.

After a while, the fish gave up struggling and was dragged onto the ice by Zhao Yutian.

Zhao Yutian was holding the fishing line with the fish hanging under the line, his face full of pride.

This is the fish he caught.

Zhao Yueyue and Zhao Zhixia also expressed envy and admiration, and Zhao Yueyue even shouted: "Brother, you are so awesome!"

"Yeah." Zhao Yutian nodded.

"Bang." The fish on the fishing rod suddenly fell out and fell to the ground.The fish suddenly gained strength and bounced on the ground. If Zhao Xin hadn't had quick eyesight and quick hands, it would have bounced onto the ice.

After putting the fish into the fish basket, Zhao Xin made a hole in the ice at the edge and put the fish basket inside.

Zhao Yutian breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Dad, why did the fish fall?"

"The situation just now is called decoupling. If the hook is decoupled in the water, the fish will run away. To prevent decoupling, you must first let the fish eat the bait and hang the hook firmly. Then you have to walk the fish to let it No energy left.”

"Okay, Yutian, come and string the bait."

"Yeah." Zhao Yutian nodded.

With Zhao Xin's proof, he smashed the earthworm, broke it into two pieces, and then strung it on a fishhook. Lou Xiao'e, who was helping Zhao Gangyi, took a look at it. After confirming that it was OK, he threw it into the ice hole again.

Xin Zhao moved a few rocks nearby to give the children a bench to sit on.

As for the coldness of the stone, just add a cushion on it.

The stools were cold in winter, so Xin Zhao made several warm cushions at home and brought them all with him this time.

Xin Zhao and Lou Xiao'e sat together, one pulling on the soles of his shoes, the other holding the child and reading.Each of the three children is guarding a fishing rod.

"Brother, is there any fish in your hook?" Zhao Yueyue asked again.

"No." Zhao Yutian replied.

"Brother, is there any fish in your hook?" Zhao Yueyue was still asking.

"I don't have mine either. Did I just catch one and drive away the fish here?" Zhao Zhixia guessed.

"It's possible, I don't have one either." Zhao Yueyue pouted, looked in the direction of Xin Zhao and shouted: "Dad, there are no fish anymore."

"If you don't talk for half an hour, there will be fish. If you talk, the fish will be scared away." Xin Zhao said.

"Ah," Zhao Yueyue was stunned. She put her index finger to her mouth and made a quiet gesture to Zhao Yutian and Zhao Zhixia.

Zhao Yutian and Zhao Zhixia also use gestures.

"Brother Xin, you are so kind." Lou Xiao'e next to her said, leaning on Zhao Xin's shoulder.

"Well, how's it going?"

"With you here, our four children will definitely be the best among people." Lou Xiao'e said.

"No, look at this kid, he wants to eat my book." Xin Zhao quickly put down the book, which he brought out from the library.

Zhao Gangyi, who was held by Xin Zhao, woke up and almost put the pages of the book into his mouth.

Without books as a target, Zhao Gangyi turned his attention to the three brothers and sisters by the river.
