Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 115

The "Craft Life" program team stayed in Taohua Village for three or four days. After filming the entire work, they asked all the questions related to bamboo weaving before returning home.

The remaining post-production such as editing, dubbing, and soundtrack will also take time, but they will arrange it themselves, and the broadcast will take more than a week.

The broadcast time also needs to be in accordance with the sequence of the films.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Taohua Village.

After sending off the program group, Cheng He was also temporarily idle.

Early in the morning, after Cheng Xinxin washed up and changed her clothes, he was going to take her to dig loaches.

The little girl got angry in the morning, and Cheng He sang to her. He happened to hear "Catching Loach", and started arguing with him: "Father, let's go catch loach too..."

Cheng He smiled and readily agreed.

When he was a child, a boy who was about his age was almost the king of the mountain, and he would go anywhere.Scooping fish, digging out bird nests, digging eels, digging loaches, catching snakes, running around anyway.

At that time, my family was poor, but I didn't know what worry was, and I always refused to be idle.

Thinking about it now, these are all childhood memories!Ten years passed in a blink of an eye.

Now hearing his daughter mention catching loach, his interest was aroused just like that.

Take a small shovel and a bucket, and you're ready to go.It's cool to go out early in the morning, but it will be hot if you go out later.

Cheng Xinxin was very happy, jumping up and down, singing loudly to the music on her phone:

"The pond is full and the rain has stopped,

In the thin mud beside the field, there are loaches everywhere,

Every day I wait for you, waiting for you to catch loach,

Big brother, how are you?

Let's go catch loach..."

Look at that cute little guy!

Cheng He found a sun hat for her and said, "Come on, put this on."

Cheng Xinxin quickly shook her head: "No, no, I want to wear that pink one!"

Uh...the hat should be pink too!Cheng He had to change another one for her.

After dressing up, Cheng Xinxin took a smug look in the mirror and was very satisfied.The father and daughter officially went out to the pond at the east end of the village.The water there is shallow, and the mud next to it is very thin, and it is easy to have loaches.

The air is the freshest in the morning, there are still crystal dewdrops hanging on the grass by the roadside, and the early birds are already chirping.

Just walked out of the path, but found that there was already a person by the pond.

This man was in a good mood, he was doing Tai Chi under the tree early in the morning, facing the pond.

With white hair and elegant demeanor, it was Jiang Qian.

The program team that came to interview left, and he also took a break.After a few days of busy work, now is the leisure to enjoy the scenery of the mountain village.

The mountain village surrounded by ponds is beautiful and picturesque, with pastoral contrasts, verdant trees, and tranquility.

The occasional chirping of birds adds a touch of natural vitality.

The old artist pushed the Tai Chi slowly, and he was in a good mood.

Of course, this is also related to the relaxation after finishing the masterpiece with painstaking efforts in the past few days.

Before he came here, he never thought that he would have such an inspiration, and would have the idea of ​​cross-border cooperation with the bamboo weaving craft of Taohua Village.

And he wanted to catch up with the filming time of the program group, so he was still in a hurry.But I didn't expect that the idea that came out in a hurry would be so perfect in practice.

Artistic inspiration has been brought into full play, which should be a great joy in life.

This also proves that his idea is feasible.Cross-border art can also be successful.

Next, he still didn't intend to leave.He wanted to study the bamboo weaving in Taohua Village in depth, and see if he could inject something new into this ancient inherited art.

He's excited to think he'll be able to do these things for the rest of his life.Who said that the elderly have no vitality?
Seeing Cheng He's father and daughter approaching, he greeted them in a good mood: "Good morning, young man!"

Cheng He quickly replied: "Mr. Jiang, you are too early!"

Come to practice Tai Chi so early, it seems that he is in good health.

In fact, Cheng He wanted to ask him several times: Is Jiang Yutong your granddaughter, how is she now, she is the great benefactor of our Taohua Village, we have to thank her, and so on.

But I opened my mouth a few times and didn't have the nerve to ask.

When Jiang Yutong left, he didn't say anything; even now, he hasn't said anything; if he asks this now, isn't it a bit of a suspicion of being close?

Since Jiang Yutong didn't mention the people in the village to her grandfather, he didn't mention it himself.

He just asked: "Mr. Jiang, are you still used to being in Taohua Village?"

"I'm used to it, I'm used to it, there's nothing I'm not used to. The air here is so nice!" Jiang Qian replied while playing Tai Chi.

The elegant old man with white hair seems to have a fairy spirit, and he is full of artistic conception when he raises his hands and dances his feet.

Cheng He stopped disturbing, and went to dig loaches with Cheng Xinxin in the soft mud not far away.

You have to know where to dig loach.The land can't be too dry, too dry and lack of water, preferably the black silt by the pond.It doesn't matter if the mud is too deep, it's not good to sink into it.

At this time, the water level was slightly lower than yesterday, and the exposed silt seemed to be covered with a layer of skin after being exposed to the sun for a day or two. Such places are the easiest to find loaches.

If the loach hiding in the ground needs to breathe, it will leave small holes on the surface of the ground. As long as you dig carefully along the small holes with your fingers, you are sure to dig a big and lively loach.

The bigger the hole, the bigger the loach, and the smaller the hole, the smaller the loach.

Sometimes if you are lucky, you can dig a hole with your fingers, and the loach will be there waiting for you; but most of the time they climb fast, and at this time you have to dig a shovel ahead.

In fact, there are not many tricks to see the holes. Many people give up when they see a hole without two hoes. But as long as one is found after digging, there are basically holes nearby.

Cheng He has been doing these things since he was a child, so he has more experience, and he can basically dig one by one.When I reached out to dig it out, there was a lively loach in the mud.

Holding a toy shovel, Cheng Xinxin followed suit, not caring that her hands and feet were covered in mud, and even splashed on her face.

After digging a few shovels, she murmured, "Father, I haven't found anything here...there's still nothing here..."

When he saw Cheng He take out the loach from the mud, he immediately laughed and shouted excitedly: "Dad, there is loach, there is loach..."

After finishing speaking, he stepped on his short legs in the mud to grab the loach in Cheng He's hand.

As a result, the loach was too slippery, and the little girl just grabbed a handful of mud and got up as she watched helplessly as it slipped from under her hands.

"Wow..." The little girl couldn't hold back and cried.

How could the loach just escape like this?Obviously hold it down!

Cheng He lied to her: "Xinxin, look again, you still have a loach in your hand..."

The little girl hurriedly turned in the mud in her hand again, but she still couldn't find it, and cried again.

Cheng He laughed loudly and said, "Baby, don't cry, Dad will dig another one for you..."

It's just that this piece of mud, with the footprints of the father and daughter down, can't see the small hole in it. If you don't want to go further to develop flat land, you have to rely on experience.

Cheng He went down with a few shovels, and basically got something. Several of them were thicker than a thumb, and the weight was not small.

Cheng Xinxin didn't dare to snatch it anymore, but just watched eagerly, and when she saw the loach was dug out, she clapped her hands and shouted excitedly.

Now it's all right, her hands are covered with mud, and it's all over the place, and Cheng He's face and clothes are also speckled with mud.

Cheng He scolded her while picking up the loach in the bucket: "Xinxin, don't shoot it, the mud is everywhere."

Going down with the shovel again, there was a loach's tail swinging. Cheng He stretched out his hand to catch it, but only caught half of it - the loach was dug up with a shovel just now.

Half of the loach's tail was making the last struggle of life, and it was beating in Cheng He's hand.

Cheng Xinxin stared blankly, then looked at the other half in the mud, and murmured softly, "You poor little loach!"

Jiang Qian, who had finished his morning exercise, watched with great interest the father and daughter who were digging loaches in the early morning. The joy of nature made him yearn for it.

This is the most simple and happy pastoral life!
When was the last time you took your children to enjoy the joy of nature?
It's been so long that I can hardly remember it, and it seems like it was yesterday.At that time, the little granddaughter seemed to be the same age?
Time!
Jiang Qian walked over with a smile, wanting to chat with Cheng He.
