Chapter 165: Crying with Joy



Upon hearing this, Chen Chen said directly: "Dad shouldn't have teased you just now. I apologize to you. Now Dad wants to take you out to play. Do you two sons want to go?"

"Then I'll go." He Sixuan said with his proud little head raised.

After saying that, he stood up from his small stool, then walked forward, pulled Chen Chen and said to him, "Dad, go quickly, the fish are gone."

It means that they should hurry to the river to catch fish, otherwise they will all be caught by others.

Seeing this, Chen Zhen greeted Grandma He, then took the two children and a backpack and went to the river.

Grandma He looked at their departing backs, shook her head and smiled. Sixuan is such an easy-going child.

He Siyi was also very helpless about his brother's fence-sitting behavior. How could he forgive his father so easily? At the very least, he should ask his father to write a letter of guarantee? Otherwise, he will tease us again next time.

Wujia Village is now full of busy adults. After all, every household is preparing to build a house and busy with spring plowing, so the people who go to the river to catch fish are all half-grown children.

Nowadays, the children in the village don’t catch fish to fill their stomachs, but mainly catch them for fun.

When Wu Zhuan saw Chen Chen bringing the two kids to catch fish, he happily shouted, "Uncle Chen, are you bringing your brothers to catch fish?"

Chen Zhen was holding a child in one hand. When he heard Wu Zhuan's words, he said, "Yes, how many fish did you catch?"

"There are more than ten of them." said another smaller child who was in charge of watching the fish by the fish basket.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen said, "You guys are quite amazing."

Several children couldn't help but smile when they were praised.

After watching the children catch fish for a while, Chen Zhen also found a less crowded area and prepared to catch some fish to take home and eat.

When he arrived at the place, he first threw some bait into the water and then cast the net.

After doing all this, Chen Chen said to his two sons, "You can take off your shoes and socks and play in the shallow water."

"I understand, Father." He Sixuan answered first, then squatted by the river, took off his shoes and socks swiftly, and threw them on the ground. He asked Chen Zhen to help him lift up his clothes and roll up his trouser legs before going into the water.

He Siyi was more polite. After taking off his shoes and socks, he put them in order and also put He Sixuan's in order for him. Only then did Chen Chen help him lift up his clothes and roll up his trouser legs before going into the water.

Chen Chen sat on the shore, waiting to collect the nets while watching the two brothers playing in the water. He warned them, "You are not allowed to go into the river. You can only play by the river. Do you hear me? If you don't listen, I won't bring you here next time."

"I understand, Dad." Two childish voices said.

This time, the net caught about 7 or 8 fish. Chen Zhen released two small ones and put the rest into the bamboo basket.

These fish were enough for the family to eat for two days, so Chen Chen did not catch any more. Instead, he said to his two sons, "Let's go. It's time to go home."

After saying that, he walked to the river and pulled his two sons back. After putting shoes and socks on them, he carried them home.

When He Sixuan saw the fish flapping in the basket, he said to Chen Chen, "Dad, I want to catch fish." He meant that he wanted to catch fish too.

Upon hearing this, Chen Chen said, "You are still too young now. When you grow up, Daddy will take you to the river to catch fish."

After hearing what Chen Chen said, He Sixuan said, "Don't lie to me." What he meant was that he couldn't lie to me.

"Okay, I won't lie to you. When has your father ever lied to you?" Chen Chen promised.

"No Cuju today." He Sixuan said, meaning that Chen Chen lied to him at noon today and would not play Cuju with him.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen said, "That's because you're too young now. You can't even stand steadily, so why are you still playing Cuju?"

He Sixuan felt that this was also the case when he heard it, so he did not pursue the issue any further and asked Chen Zhen why he had run so many laps in vain today.

When He Siyi saw that his younger brother was persuaded by his father again, he immediately felt that his younger brother was too easy to be deceived. He should take better care of his younger brother when he grows up.

In the main room, He Jinshu was sitting there drinking juice. The village school was half built and would be completed in more than two months. After it was completed, students would be able to go in to study this year.

When Chen Zhen and the others went out, he was writing the future plan of the school in his study. After the students from Shenjia Village who went to take the exam came back, he would unite these students and let them implement some specific details.

This will not only exercise their ability to educate people, but also allow them to consolidate the knowledge they have learned and help improve their reputation.

Just as he was drinking juice in the main room, He Sixuan's voice came from outside the yard: "Father, Father, I'm back."

He Jinshu felt helpless when he heard this voice. This was exactly the same personality as Chen Zhen.

So he put down the cup and walked outside. When he reached the yard, he saw He Sixuan running in from the outside with his short legs. As he ran towards He Jinshu, he shouted, "Father, fish, lots of fish, by the river, Daddy, catch them."

It means that Chen Zhen caught a lot of fish from the river.

He Jinshu squatted down and waited for him to run into his arms, then picked him up and said with a faint smile: "Did Sixuan help?"

He Sixuan shook his head and said, "Dad said, when you grow up, you can catch fish." He meant that he could help catch fish when he grew up.

Upon hearing this, He Jinshu touched his head lovingly.

Then he touched the head of He Siyi who followed behind, and said to him, "What kind of fish do you want to eat today? Father will make it for you."
