"I don't care, I want to eat too."
The little girl twisted her butt and yelled loudly.
"Okay, okay, go to the back room and get some sweet potatoes. I'll roast them for you."
Chen Wang said with a smile.
"sweet potato?"
The little girl was stunned for a moment.
"What else? What do you think it is?"
Chen Wang pointed to the sweet potato peels on the ground.
"Forget it, I won't eat it."
The little girl showed a regretful expression.
She thought it was something delicious, but it turned out to be the sweet potatoes that she had eaten almost every day before.
What's good to eat there?
"Really? Roasted sweet potatoes are delicious."
"Don't eat it, don't eat it. If you eat it, you will fart. It stinks."
"Hahaha……"
Chen Wang couldn't help laughing out loud.
Sweet potatoes are good things, but as the little girl said, eating too much will cause you to fart.
"I'm going to get some oven fruit. Do you want some, brother and sister-in-law?"
The little girl asked with a smile.
"No, you eat it yourself, and give Jixiang a banana too."
Chen Wang opened his mouth and gave instructions.
The candies, snacks, and fruits bought from the supply and marketing cooperative in town were all placed in the little girl's room.
"I know. Where's sister-in-law? Do you want to eat?"
The little girl looked at Lin Xiuqin inquiringly.
Lin Xiuqin smiled and shook her head.
"All right!"
The little girl turned and left the room.
Chen Wang also stood up, looked at his wife and said, "Then I'm going to the bamboo forest to cut some bamboo, and by the way, see if I can catch some bamboo shoots."
Lin Xiuqin nodded, pointed to the closet, and asked him to put on more clothes.
Chen Wang responded, walked over, opened the wardrobe, took out a sweater, took off his cotton jacket and put it on.
This sweater was made by my deceased mother. It has been worn for several years, and it is still so thick and warm. You can feel the deep love a mother has for her son.
Carrying the medicine basket on his back and getting a shovel from the back room, Chen Wang prepared to go out.
"Brother, where are you going?"
The little girl came out of the room while eating fruit. Seeing that he was about to go out, she hurriedly asked.
"I'm going to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo to make a fishing rod, and then go fishing in the afternoon."
"oh!"
"Don't go out and play. Stay at home, warm yourself by the fire, and talk to your sister-in-law."
Chen Wang gave a warning.
"good!"
The little girl nodded obediently.
"Then I'm leaving!"
"Uh-huh!"
…
…
After arriving at the bamboo forest near the village, Chen Wang looked around and quickly locked onto a bamboo of suitable thickness.
Walk over and use a shovel to cut off its base, then remove the branches and leaves above, leaving only straight and slender bamboo poles.
After thinking about it, I simply got two more as backup.
Afterwards, Chen Wang searched around for a while, dug up a few bamboo rat nests, and successfully caught two fat bamboo rats.
It was almost lunch time, so Chen Wang packed up and hurried back home.
His wife was making lunch at that time. After Chen Wang handed the bamboo fishing line to her, he went to work on his fishing rod.
First, I found the thin red thread used for sewing clothes at home and tied it to the top of the bamboo pole as fishing line.
This kind of line is certainly not suitable for catching big fish as it breaks easily, but there is no professional fishing line at home and no place to buy it nearby, so I can only use this one.
Next, Chen Wang found a short straight wooden stick as a float and tied it to the lower part of the fishing line.
The last step, and the most troublesome one, is to make the fish hook.
After asking his wife, Chen Wang found a large sewing needle in the drawer of the room. After heating it over fire, he used pliers to bend it into the shape of a fishhook and then put it on the fishing line.
In this way, a homemade fishing rod is ready.
Just when Chen Wang was about to dig some earthworms for bait, a little girl called out from the back room, asking him to go and eat.
“Here it comes!”
Chen Wang responded loudly, put down his fishing rod and went to the back room to eat.
After eating and drinking, Chen Wang had no intention of resting. He took a shovel and dug in the field behind the house. He soon caught a lot of red earthworms and put them in a small can.
The little girl thought it was fun and helped him catch them. When she saw the earthworms being dug out, she started to make a lot of noise. She didn't mind the dirt at all and just caught them with her hands.
Chen Wang found a bucket to catch the fish, put the bottle containing a lot of earthworms in it, took the fishing rod, and prepared to go out fishing.
"Brother, can I go with you?"
The little girl raised her head and asked, wanting to go and play with them.
"It's cold outside, can't you just stay home with your sister-in-law?"
"It's not cold. I accompanied my sister-in-law in the morning. Please let me go!"
"It's boring to watch me fishing, and you'll be clamoring to come back then."
"No way!"
"Then your sister-in-law is bored at home alone!"
"Good luck and good luck, and Dahei is at home!"
"Can they talk?"
Chen Wang rolled his eyes in annoyance and looked at his wife not far away.
Lin Xiuqin smiled and nodded, indicating that it was okay, and let the little girl go and play with her.
"Okay, then you help carry the bucket."
Chen Wang handed her the bucket.
"no problem."
The little girl took it happily, then turned to Lin Xiuqin and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go fishing!"
Lin Xiuqin smiled gently and nodded.
"Then let's go. If there's anything, ask Jixiang to find me by the river."
Chen Wang instructed his wife.
I'm not worried about anything else, but mainly because my wife is pregnant and she might have some discomfort.
Lin Xiuqin waved her hand with a smile, telling him to stop talking nonsense and leave quickly.
Chen Wang didn't say anything else and took the little girl out.
I met a few children from the village on the way and asked them curiously where they were going.
"My brother took me fishing."
The little girl raised her head slightly and answered with a proud look on her face.
When the children heard this, their eyes were filled with envy.
"Xiaoyu Xiaoyu, your brother also knows how to fish?"
"My dad can fish, too. He caught several fish a few days ago, including a particularly big one."
"How do you fish for lobsters? Is it the same as fishing for lobsters?"
"Xiaoyu, can we go with you?"
…
"no!"
The little girl flatly refused and said seriously: "If you all follow, you will scare all the fish away."
"No, we won't disturb the fish if we don't talk."
"That's right, let's take a look!"
"this……"
The little girl looked reluctant, but didn't know how to refuse.
"The snow is getting heavier soon. It's windy and cold by the river. Besides, didn't your parents tell you not to go to the river by yourself? It's very dangerous."
Chen Wang said with a smile.
When the children heard this, they immediately became speechless.
"My brother is right, go and have fun by yourselves!"
The little girl waved with a smile.
That look and expression was as if they were already grown-up kids, telling the little brats to stop bothering them and just go play.
