Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 417 Uncle, why don't you praise me?

Fresh peaches, tender and juicy.In the afternoon, the sun was very strong, but sitting under the shade of the trees in the small courtyard, I could feel the coolness immediately.

They all peeled and ate by themselves. Cheng Xinxin moved a small stool and sat obediently next to her father. He peeled a little and she ate a little. No one teased her with time.

Seeing her small appearance, Cheng He thought it was interesting, so he deliberately peeled a little bit of skin, then peeled off a little bit of flesh, and handed her piece by piece for her to eat slowly.

After the little girl finished eating one piece, she waited silently, her eyes fixed on her father and the peeled peaches, which belonged to her.Although no one robbed her, she was inexplicably nervous and wanted to protect her.

Bai Qian looked at her, always wanting to laugh.

She said, "Then there's a whole basket of peaches, and I can't finish them. Look at her!"

Cheng Xinxin heard it, and said happily, "Mom, I also carried peaches today."

What she meant was that she also helped with the work today, so it was right to eat some peaches.

Bai Qian was amused by her, and said, "Yes, you also carried two back."

Cheng Xinxin felt that she had been praised, so she sat on her little stool, writhing happily.

Then I remembered that my uncle didn't see me carrying peaches, so I should let my uncle know about it.

So, she got up and ran to find her own small pan, took it, walked up to Bai Xingjun, and said, "Uncle, I also carried Tao Zi's today, use this."

It was the first time Bai Xingjun saw such a small pannier, he was amazed, and quickly handed it to his classmates: "Look, such a small pannier."

That’s all for the male students, they praised it twice, and the female students seemed to have seen something, thinking that such a small basket is so cute, like a small ornament, and the flower shape woven on it is also very beautiful, etc. .

This is a village of bamboo weaving, so it is normal for every family to weave some bamboo baskets like this.But they didn't know that when they saw this miniature bamboo basket for the first time, they thought it was too cute.

As a result, everyone paid attention to carrying the basket, and no one paid attention to Cheng Xinxin's "back with peaches on his back".

The little girl was a little unhappy, she lay on Bai Xingjun's lap, and said again very clearly: "Uncle, I brought peaches back this morning."

Seeing her expression, Cheng He knew what she was thinking, and whispered to Bai Qian, "She wants to claim credit."

Bai Qian was teased and laughed softly.

Bai Xingjun heard Cheng He's words just now, so he wanted to tease Cheng Xinxin, so he just replied "Yes" to her lightly.

Cheng Xinxin originally thought that her uncle would say "Xinxin is amazing", "Xinxin is amazing" and other words of praise, but in the end she just said "um", feeling very unhappy.

So she said, "Uncle, why don't you praise me?"

When Cheng He and Bai Qian heard it from behind, they almost couldn't hold back their laughter, it was so hard to hold back.

The child's simple and straightforward mind, saying what he thinks, is so cute!Say what you want to say, say what you want to praise.

Unlike today's adults, even if they think so in their hearts, they have to turn a corner and say it.

But, it won't be long before she can be simple and straightforward, as long as she grows up a little, she will definitely be unable to say this.

Bai Xingjun also tried his best not to laugh, and said to her: "Okay, praise."

Cheng Xinxin was taken aback, what does "good, praise".What's this?
She distinguished: "Uncle, it's not this kind of boasting, it's that kind of boasting..."

"Okay, Kua Kua Kua Kua Kua Kua..." Bai Xingjun said seriously.

Cheng Xinxin was completely dumbfounded.

She just stared at Bai Xingjun blankly, thinking that her uncle is too weird, he can't even boast, is there something wrong with his mind?Then he turned around, ignored the silly uncle, and went to eat his own peaches.

Sure enough, appearance is uprising, as long as she looks cute, she will be cute no matter what.The students in the back had already burst into laughter, thinking, this loli is so cute.

That small appearance made everyone in the yard laugh.Cheng Xinxin became their joy.

When everyone finished eating the peaches, Cheng Xinxin had already forgotten what happened just now, and turned to pull Bai Xingjun and said, "Uncle, let's go, shall we go fishing for shrimp?"

Bai Xingjun was taken aback: "Catching shrimp?"

Bai Qian patted Cheng He and said, "Look, you said something casually, did she remember it? Now I really want to go fishing."

Cheng He didn't understand it at first, but he remembered it after thinking about it, didn't he?Just before taking a nap, Cheng Xinxin always went to the pond to watch other people fishing for shrimps. He didn't want her to delay her nap, and he didn't want her to just bask in the sun at noon.

This guy has a really good memory.

Bai Xingjun's interest suddenly exploded, and he said, "Okay, let's go fishing for prawns, everyone will try the prawns I caught in the evening."

Bai Qian said with a look of disdain: "Can you catch you? Are you not afraid that others will starve to death?"

"I feel like I can."

Bai Xingjun replied without hesitation.Then he turned to look at his classmates: "Are you going? Fishing for shrimps."

"go."

"Walk."

"go together."

Several people stood up immediately, gearing up to go fishing for shrimps.

Bai Qian asked her younger brother, "What do you use to catch shrimp? Do you fish with your hands?"

Cheng He also stood up and said, "Then let me get you some poles. You can't fish with your hands."

At first glance, they were not prepared to fish, and it was impossible for them to bring their own fishing rods.But shrimps are stupid, and they are easy to catch. You don’t need a special fishing rod, just any bamboo branch will do.

For fishing hooks, Cheng He found a few paper clips, one for each person, and used nylon thread as fishing line.

It's still a little early for dinner time, let's go play first, anyway, idle is idle.

Bai Xingjun was still a little unhappy at first, and said, "That's it... Can you catch shrimp?"

While busy with his work, Cheng He said, "That's it? This is very good. The children in the morning still used thick sticks, which were a little longer than chopsticks, and they used wool for knitting sweaters, which was almost hemp rope. , It’s not like I caught a big plate. It’s still noon, and the sun is so hot.”

The main reason is that they had a temporary idea, and they had never fished before, nor did they prepare this thing.

But that's all, it's really good. Cheng He's own fishing rod is also made in the same way, and it still can't catch fish.

Shrimp is the best thing to catch, and you can catch it with anything.

Anyway, they are learning to fish for fun, and they are not real fishermen.

It didn't take long for a few simple fishing rods to be set up casually, and a few people were gearing up and excitedly set off together.

Now the sun is westward, and the sun is much weaker than at noon. Sitting in the shade of a tree, there is still wind, so it will not be very hot.

Cheng He led the team, Bai Qian carried a bucket, and followed eagerly.A group of people walked out of the door, Cheng He thought about it, then turned around and went back to get a net bag.

It is made of bamboo poles with a mesh bag fixed at one end.He thought, these people are people who have never fished before, maybe all the shrimps will be caught in a while, and they still can't catch them.

Keep a net bag and be prepared.

As soon as they went out, the mighty group of people attracted the attention of the neighbors.It is rare for Cheng He's family to have so many guests, and the guests are all so young.

Seeing Cheng He holding so many fishing rods, they greeted Cheng He: "So many of you go fishing for shrimp?"

"Yes." Cheng He replied.

Then Cheng Xinxin pulled Bai Xingjun and told others showing off, "This is my uncle."

"Oh, is this your uncle?"

"Ah."

When passing by the third uncle's house, third uncle Cheng still kept Cheng He, and took out a handful of chicken intestines from the house and gave him to use him as bait. This is better than earthworms for catching shrimp.

As they walked around, they attracted a few more children in their teens, and one by one, they also took fishing rods from home and came out to catch shrimps with a bucket.

Along the way, Bai Xingjun and his classmates were full of praise, feeling that the trip was not in vain.

Walking to a pond with few people, it happened to be covered by trees, and Cheng He gave an order: "Just here, there are aquatic plants and shade. Shrimp like it here. It's easy to fish here."

And people are also comfortable, not too hot in the sun.

Now there is no need for Cheng He to teach. The group of children have already chosen their seats, occupying a seat a few meters away, and they have already started fishing.

Bai Xingjun and his classmates just follow them.

People who fish for shrimp for the first time can be described as laughing, screaming and excited.The male students were better, especially the two female students who screamed excitedly whenever they saw shrimps coming to eat bait.

"Hey, I'm hooked again..."

"Ahhh, there's another shrimp coming...too bad, I ran away again..."

Shrimp are easy to catch, but they don't pay attention to the method at all. Sometimes they pull the line just after they are hooked, and sometimes they pull the line very hard, and even the stupid shrimp will be run away by them.

However, even though they were scared away, they were still very excited.After all, it is the first time.

Seeing that each of them was holding a fishing rod and making a fuss, Cheng He smiled and pointed to the children in the distance, and said, "Look over there..."

The busy and excited young people looked over there, yo!Those elementary school students are in charge of seven or eight fishing rods alone!
Not to mention, just now Bai Xingjun still disliked that this fishing rod was too simple, but what is it!Just a twig, a soybean stalk, a thatch stalk and a thread, and you're fishing for shrimp!

And look at the speed, after a while, a thread is pulled up, and a shrimp comes up, and the thread is pulled up again, and there is another shrimp!
