There are flowers and wine, hoeing and farming

Chapter 5

Cheng Daman was both helpless and a little proud, because his daughter was so entangled with him that he was fully satisfied, but she was so entangled with him that he couldn't let go of his hands when washing.Because as long as he wanted to break away his daughter's hand holding his clothes, she would open her mouth and howl.

After complaining a few words, Cheng Daman was still reluctant to throw his daughter on the bed and let her cry as cruelly as he did his son, so Ning could only find a few cloth ropes to tie her to him, so amidst the excited wailing of his daughter, He washed up quickly and ate something.

"Good girl, go to mother's place for breastfeeding, okay?" Cheng Daman coaxed in a low voice, and gently touched the cloth rope to untie it, but Cheng Qiaoqiao was not a real baby, and when his hand moved, he quickly curled his mouth and said goodbye. With a dry howl, Cheng Daman's hands trembled in fright.

The husband and wife looked at each other, they really didn't want this daughter who almost died after giving birth to suffer a little more, so they could only think of a way.

Therefore, Cheng Qiaoqiao was carried by Cheng Daman to eat Ning's milk. Although the movements were a little difficult, the love of her parents always made everything easy.

Little Cheng Qiaoqiao played a wayward way. After eating and drinking, she looked at her father and mother who let out a long breath, and her little face blushed slightly.

After everything was cleaned up, Cheng Zhigao and Cheng Zhiyuan couldn't wait for a long time. The second child was already jumping anxiously, rolled his eyes at his sister several times, and made up his mind to teach him a lesson when his father and mother were not around next time. This disobedient sister once.Look at her being so naughty again.

The weather outside has not cleared up yet, but the rain has stopped for a long time. When the door is opened, a cool breath rushes in, which is refreshing. The distant mountains, which are already hazy on weekdays, will be even more hazy. The whole small village They are all covered with a light and thin layer of mist, like a landscape portrait, which makes people express their hearts directly.

Ning was worried about her daughter, and wanted to go together, but there was still a lot of work at home, and her eldest brother's clothes could not be worn anymore. Seeing that the weather was going to get cold soon, she had to hurry up and make clothes.

She looked at the sky outside, and quickly took a thin, square cloth towel and covered Cheng Qiaoqiao's head to prevent her from being caught cold by the wind.

"Look at her more, don't let her get cold."

Cheng Daman nodded, hugged her tightly, and called the two children to go out together.

Ning stood at the door and watched them go a long way before closing the courtyard door. First, she went to the shed to release some chickens, sprinkled some ground food, and saw that they were eating vigorously, so she moved Zhang Xiaofang. Sitting in the yard, breathing in the cool air, and taking advantage of the fairly bright light, he began to work patiently and meticulously.

Cheng Daman walked not slowly, one step was almost equal to the two or three steps of the youngest son, but the two boys were so excited that they jumped up and down, rushing to a long distance in front of Cheng Daman and then looking back at him anxiously, Stretching his neck, he wished he could run instead of his father.

The small river that flows through their village is a branch of a big river. They just heard that this big river passes through many state capitals and counties. There are many, but it is still very spectacular for the villagers who have never been out, and the crops are also counted on it to irrigate every year, so this river is a great treasure in the hearts of the villagers.

Before reaching Xiaohe, I heard the giggling of the children. Cheng Qiaoqiao saw the two brothers as if their buttocks were on fire. While wanting to rush over, she was afraid that her father would yell at herself, so she could only talk to the monkey. Just as patient.Cheng Qiaoqiao grinned, the eldest brother is better, after all, he is a little older, and he is not so unreliable, but the younger brother is different, looking forward eagerly for a while, and looking pitifully for a while After a while, he pulled his brother's sleeve again, making people want to laugh no matter what he saw, and Cheng Daman was not unaware of it, but he probably did it on purpose. It was getting slower and slower, and Cheng Zhiyuan couldn't help but blame his sister.Xiaobai kept rolling his eyes desperately at her.

Ah~~ Cheng Qiaoqiao saw how pitiful the little brother was, so he stretched out his hand towards the direction of the voice.

The four of them came to the river, and there were already many children there, all of them rolled up their trousers, their little feet were bare, their heads were lowered, looking for a good place to put the cage.

Cheng Zhigao and Cheng Zhiyuan picked up the prepared cages, greeted Cheng Daman and walked to the river.

Cheng Daman walked towards the river with his daughter in his arms, and stood there watching.

Cheng Qiaoqiao had never seen this kind of fishing method before, so she pointed in the direction of her brothers and yelled, signaling Cheng Daman to walk over so that she could see.

I saw Cheng Zhigao put the bait prepared in advance in the middle of the cage, and then tied the cage with a rope and lowered it down a little bit. There was an opening on the side of the cage. This opening was easy to enter from the outside, but difficult to get out from the inside.

Cheng Qiaoqiao watched the cage go down. It was far away and she couldn't see clearly. After tying up the rope, a few children surrounded her and started talking to her two older brothers, chattering and listening. I don't know what to say.

Oh, there was a burst of cheers, and a child caught several fish in the cage brought up, and the children around him hurriedly helped him put it on the bank, away from the small river, and quickly opened the covered cage containing the fish and poured it in. In the absence of sunlight, the scales on the small fish still reflect a faint silvery white light, which makes people feel happy when they see it.

After the fish was put into the covered cage, one of the children picked it up and ran to the village.The remaining children packed up the ground cage, put the bait in again, and lowered it slowly.

Cheng Daman couldn't help laughing out loud as he looked at it. In fact, the small fish caught were not big, just small fish fry the size of children's palms. When they were brought home, most adults would complain that it was difficult to handle, while Not willing to let the children's interest be spoiled, carefully wait for it, boil a pot of fish soup or stew a pot of fish with ingredients, although the fish is pitiful, it is always sweet for the children to eat.

Cheng Qiaoqiao opened her eyes wide and looked at it for a long time. Although she felt itchy in her heart, she also knew that adults had already worried about following her out today, and she couldn't want to touch the little fish willfully any more.

By the river, the brothers were lifting the cage up excitedly with flushed faces, and with a puff, the cage broke through the water, Cheng Qiaoqiao couldn't help but let out a cry of excitement, staring closely at it, faintly visible silver fish scales churned out shine.

"Looks like he caught the big one." Cheng Daman said with a smile, touched his daughter's small face, and lifted the square cloth towel up, but he just lifted it up to cover his daughter's head to prevent her from being blown by the wind. He was severely protested by his daughter, so he tore off the cloth towel with a whimper, and stared straight at the direction of his brothers with big eyes.

The two children ran over in a hurry, Cheng Zhiyuan panted heavily, and said gesticulating: "Dad, Dad, I caught a lot of them, and there is another big one."

Cheng Daman smiled and nodded, feeling the little girl in his arms jumping happily, he took two steps forward, squatted down, opened the cover cage, and said: "Oh, this bream is quite big, keep it for you Mother burned it for you to eat, and put the remaining few very small ones away."

"En." Cheng Zhiyuan nodded heavily.

"Leave the covered cage to my side first, and we will catch another one later, and we will leave."

"it is good."

Cheng Daman grabbed a small fish and moved it closer to his daughter. Sure enough, Cheng Qiaoqiao stretched out his small hand to touch it tentatively.

It was slippery, a bit greasy and cool, Qiaoqiao wanted to grab it in the palm of his hand, but Xiaoyu bowed and jumped up.

Cheng Daman laughed loudly and threw the little fish into the river. With a plop, the little fish disappeared into the depths of the water in the blink of an eye.

After watching it for a long time, when Cheng Qiaoqiao's neck felt tired due to inactivity for a long time, she put it down and leaned against Cheng Daman's chest to rest.Breathing the cool air, feeling the faint breeze, listening to the excited voices and shouts of the children not far away, and the beating of Cheng Daman's heart, Cheng Qiaoqiao felt that everything was beautiful It's outrageous, just like in a dream.

Turning his head, changing the direction, looking to the other side of the small river, he was about to close his eyes and sleep for a while, when he suddenly discovered that there was a child who was about the same age as his elder brother standing by the river, holding a harpoon, quietly and peacefully. Stare intently at the river.

The child was not well dressed, with a few patches on the dark coarse cloth clothes, a pair of straw sandals that were randomly woven, and his hair was tied up in a ball on the top of his head, tied tightly with cloth strips.

He has a serious expression that other children don't have, as if he is not having fun, but doing a serious thing, and he must concentrate all his attention.He stood there quietly, all the muscles in his body tensed, like a small animal hunting, ready to go.

Seeing his appearance, Cheng Qiaoqiao couldn't help holding her breath.

After a while, the child's eyes opened suddenly, and he swung his right arm quickly. Before he could blink, the harpoon plunged into the water with just a blur, and he immediately raised his arm , jumped into the river.

Blinking, Cheng Qiaoqiao's heart also jumped, staring at the harpoon raised by the child, the water splashed, and when the harpoon was raised, the light of the silver fish scales reflected into Qiaoqiao's eyes again, she Grinning, happy for the kid.

The fish was very big, much bigger than what my brother caught just now. The child grabbed the harpoon, his little face, which was tense just now, relaxed, his tightly pursed lips slightly raised, and he wiped the fish on his face. Cheng Qiaoqiao jumped onto the bank, pulled the fish from the fork, and threw it into a small bucket behind him. Cheng Qiaoqiao stretched her neck but couldn't see how many fish were caught in the bucket.

The child seemed to be tired, and he leaned against a nearby tree with a harpoon in his hand. He looked sideways at the place where many children were staying, and he must have looked at it for a long time. The distance was not too close, and Cheng Qiaoqiao couldn't see him. The look on his face, just felt that he should be very envious and wanted to blend in, but because of some other reasons, he couldn't go to participate in it.

The child withdrew his eyes, and when he passed Cheng Daman, he paused for a while, then picked up his bucket of fish, took the harpoon, and left without looking back amidst laughter and laughter, until the little thin Cheng Qiaoqiao's figure completely disappeared into this faint ink painting, and Cheng Qiaoqiao came back to his senses and sneezed loudly.

ah chirp~~
Cheng Qiaoqiao was very depressed, she felt that she just sneezed, the lovely parents wanted to wrap her in ten layers of quilts, and then poured a large pot of boiling water into it to make her sweat .

After drinking until her stomach was full, she lay down under the quilt and started playing with her two brothers, ahhhhhhh, although the two children couldn't understand what she was talking about, they were in a good mood after playing all morning Especially Cheng Zhiyuan, who completely forgot the declaration when he left in the morning, and devoted himself to playing with his sister.

"Sister, does this look like you?" Cheng Zhiyuan showed Cheng Qiaoqiao a small wooden figure.

Cheng Zhigao, who just learned carpentry, made it when he had nothing to do. Because the craftsmanship is not very good, and the wood is too small, it is not easy to portray the characters, so Cheng Qiaoqiao just saw that the wood is roughly There is only one person, and as for who looks like someone and doesn't look like someone else, you can't see anything at all.

She grabbed it and hugged it in the palm of her hand, screaming and looking at Cheng Zhigao.His grown-up face smiled, and pinched his younger sister's cheek: "This one doesn't look like it, next time brother will carve you a nice one."

He reached out to take it back, but Cheng Qiaoqiao refused. Seeing that she was about to cry, Cheng Zhigao had to give up and glared at his younger brother: "Who told you to give it to her, it doesn't look like it. And the wood hasn't been polished well, it will It hurts, when she doesn't pay attention tomorrow, steal it back for me, do you hear me?"

Cheng Zhiyuan curled his lips and snorted: "Who says it doesn't look like it? I can tell it's a little doll at a glance. My brother is partial, so he won't carve one for me. I want one too."

"How old are you, you still robbed your sister."

Cheng Zhiyuan stopped talking, rolled his small eyes, and couldn't help but blame his sister again.

Cheng Qiaoqiao wanted to bully the little brother when he saw his appearance, holding up the wooden doll in his hand, ahhh, showing off non-stop, so that the little brother could hang a soy sauce bottle on his little mouth.

Ning shi cooked some fish soup for dinner, smelling the strong aroma, Cheng Qiaoqiao sat in Ning shi's arms wrapped in a small quilt, and ate it too. The fish was very tender. Just put it into her mouth, the fragrance is completely different from the fish raised artificially in the ponds that I ate in my previous life, it melts in the mouth, soft and tender, with a clean and clear aroma, after eating it, I feel delicious , can't stop talking.

Lying back on the bed with a chubby belly after eating, Cheng Qiaoqiao didn't want to move, fully adhering to the characteristics of the little pig, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating.

In a daze, she felt that Ning Shi and Cheng Daman were talking softly, went to the bed and lay down, then lowered her head, touched her forehead with her lips for a try, and said in a low voice: "It should be fine, it's not hot. Don't worry Now, go to sleep, I will hold her in my arms today."

"Well, I'm going to sleep."

Cheng Qiaoqiao arched her head, let herself stick into Ning's arms, took a deep breath, and continued to go to Duke Zhou with warmth all over her body.
