Chapter 086: Cub is going fishing

Wen Mingyuan did not shake hands. He was disgusted. Come on, he is a star, his hands are dirty, not to mention that he smells bad.

Seeing that Wen Mingyuan didn't extend his hand for a long time, the old man withdrew his hand awkwardly. This person is so rude. The old man couldn't pay attention to Wen Mingyuan and turned around and left.

"Hey, old man!" Wen Mingyuan wanted to ask for directions, but unexpectedly the old man turned around and left. He didn't know the way.

The old man turned a deaf ear to him. This person is really different. The previous one was so good, but this one... I have to tell the village chief when I get back.

"Huh, a peasant." Wen Mingyuan looked around. People around him pretended not to see him.

The village chief said that all the guests who came were distinguished guests and should not be offended. Although some young people in their village have become successful, many of them are ordinary farmers who rely on the crops in the fields for their living.

The transportation in the village is not good, and many crops are unsalable. In the end, the ones that are not sold are kept at home for our own consumption. Some of them can only rot in the fields. It would be a lie to say that we don’t feel bad. But what can we do? No one buys, no market.

The old village chief retired, and the new one is very young. After studying in a big city, he came back to the village to develop his hometown, started e-commerce and live streaming. Although the operation is average, it is much better than before.

The village chief said that he had finally gotten this opportunity. If he could do it well, not only would the crops be sold, but many people would also come to visit!

Everyone knows that celebrities are different from them. They all come from big cities. Some people look down on them, but for the sake of the development of the village, we just have to put up with it. Anyway, they are only here for two days, so we just have to put up with it.

Wen Mingyuan thinks he is aloof. He drags his suitcase and walks on without thinking: "Farmers are just farmers. They are ignorant and rude."

[……? ? ? (black question mark.jpg)]

[How rude! The old man has been extending his hand for quite some time, but he just refuses to shake hands and even looks disgusted?!]

[Grandpa’s hands are actually clean. It’s just that they’ve become like this after years of hard work.]

[Huh? You're still calling me old man? Is Wen Mingyuan okay?]

[Anyone with elderly people at home can’t stand this, right? I’m speechless… Wen Mingyuan was really good at acting before, but now he’s completely exposed.]

[Farmers? What's wrong with farmers? Are you city people so noble?]

[Okay (/) okay (V) okay (V), you are trying to put the blame on someone else, right? (Little yellow face speechless.jpg)]

[City People: I am not! I didn’t! I didn’t say that!]

[…Why does Wen Mingyuan feel like he’s been taken away? It wasn’t like this before.]

[It’s not about stealing, it’s about the previous performance being good. That person set it up, and now that it’s called recording material, he thinks it will be reduced and doesn’t care anymore, his true colors are revealed.]

[Who is it? Who has kidnapped our brother Yuan?! Who is so vicious?! (dog head.jpg)]

[Hahaha, they look just like family members hahaha!]

[Poor Fang Fang, she is so polite.]

"Uncle." Fang Fang came over panting, pulling her suitcase, the little fat on her face bulging.

"Hey~" Most people in the village like fat children. A fat child means that the family is rich and the food given to the child is good. Also, it is good for the child to be able to eat! Being able to eat is a blessing!

"Little kid, are you here to record the show too?" The child was polite and called him uncle. He originally thought of ignoring these people who came to film the show, but forget it, he couldn't just let the child stand there like this.

"Yeah." Fang Fang nodded, "My brother is missing, and I don't know where to go."

The road at the entrance to the village was a bit bumpy, but it was OK for adults to walk with their suitcases. But it was a bit difficult for children, who stumbled and fell, and Wen Mingyuan had long since disappeared.

The villagers didn't know where Wen Mingyuan was going, so they just let him go. As for the child, they took him to the village chief's house.

Xie Luoshu took Yanyan for a stroll. It was a little chilly in the afternoon, but the sun was shining, making people feel warm. They strolled leisurely and relaxed.

The threshing floor was piled high with the fruits of the harvest. The threshers hummed, happily swallowing and spitting out rice ears, and the grains flew out like golden raindrops, raising clouds of dust. Children were laughing and playing nearby, chasing the occasional flying grass clippings, while the elderly sat nearby, busy sorting the grains with their hands.

After finally meeting the children, Xie Luoshu asked Yanyan if she wanted to play with other children. Yanyan took a look and thought, it seems quite fun.

Yanyan was looking at the children, and the children were also looking at Yanyan. Yanyan was different from them, clean, fair and tender, and wearing very beautiful clothes.

But the children's focus was not here, but on the fact that this child was new and they had never seen him before!

The kids were not socially anxious, and they came running over in a line: "Hello! What's your name? Why are you here? Do you want to play with us..."

"Hmm..." There were too many questions and Yanyan didn't know which one to answer first.

"Alright, alright." Thanks to the elders, they stopped them immediately. "Are you here to record the show?"

"Yes. Sorry for disturbing you." Xie Luoshu said.

"Is this a camera?" the child asked curiously.

"Don't touch it." Yanyan said seriously, "It will break, and you will have to pay for it~"

Several children who had stretched out their hands quickly withdrew their hands and took two steps back.

"My name is Lele..." Several children spontaneously introduced themselves.

"My name is Yanyan." Yanyan patted his chest. His kindergarten teacher taught him this and he remembered it.

The super-familiar kid said, "Let's play together."

"Okay~" Yanyan nodded, "What shall we play?"

"How about playing Eagle Catches Chicken?" The child looked at the idle adult Xie Luoshu and said, "Uncle, how about you be the hen?"

"Huh?" Xie Luoshu thought he would be the eagle. "If I play the hen, who will be the eagle?"

"Me." Lele was obviously the leader among the group of children. He was tall and very outgoing. "I can run very fast."

"Okay, okay." As soon as Xie Luoshu agreed, Yanyan took the lead and grabbed Xie Luoshu's clothes, followed by a group of children.

The screams of the children mixed with the sound of the thresher were a bit noisy, but the scene was particularly heartwarming.

After one round, everyone was tired. Lele suggested: "Let's go fishing!"

Several children were wearing straw hats on their heads. Yan Yan looked at them angrily and asked, "What is this?"

The brim of the straw hat is slightly bent down and evenly extends outward, with the arc just right. The rice ears are closely arranged and intertwined with each other. The texture is regular and exquisite, and each knot is tight and firm, and hidden among the rice ears, without any mess. The color is golden with a hint of brown. When the sun shines on the straw hat, the golden rice ears reflect a soft light.

"This is a straw hat woven by my grandma." Lele is very proud. "My grandma is amazing. She can also weave katydids and various small toys."

"Yes! Grandma Lele is amazing!"

"Our hats were all given to us by Grandma Lele."

"Grandma Lele's cooking is delicious! Shall we go fishing?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Yanyan, come with us~"

“You can also catch snails~”

The kids picked up their tools and set out together. I think this was decided beforehand. Xie Luoshu naturally followed them.

At this time, the water in the rural river has already begun to cool down. However, today is sunny and warm, and the river water is slightly warmer under the sun. When the children first go into the river, they just feel cool, not cold.

The children in the village often go into the water, so it’s no big deal. They quickly take off their shoes and socks, roll up their trousers, and then go into the water.

Yanyan also wanted to go into the water. Xie Luoshu reached out and tested the temperature. It was a little cool. "Is it ok, baby? It's a little cold."

Yanyan imitated Xie Luoshu and tried it. He caught a little bit, but he was a little jealous when he saw other kids catching fish: "I want to go."

All right. Xie Luoshu also agreed. It's sunny now. I'll buy some towels to wipe the water off in time. I don't think I'll catch a cold if I soak my feet in the evening.

Yanyan happily went into the water. Several children even taught Yanyan how to catch fish.

The older children crouched, their eyes fixed on the water, their hands carefully groping between the cracks in the rocks. Sometimes the goddess of luck came and caught a fish.

Younger children formed a circle in groups of three or five and slowly moved towards the center of the river, trying to trap a group of small fish in the middle. As the circle gradually shrank, the fish began to flee in panic, and the children quickly reached out to catch them.

The first time Yanyan caught fish, they used a basket for him to catch fish. This basket was also made by Lele's grandmother. Several children spotted a fish and put the basket in advance. Then they rushed the fish to the basket. Yanyan grabbed the basket, saw the right moment, picked it up, and caught a fish successfully.

Water flowed out through the gaps in the basket, and the fish jumped around in the basket like crazy. Yanyan almost couldn't catch it, and other children helped him catch it. When the fish ran out of energy, they walked to the shore and put it in a bucket.

"Dad, let's catch fish!" Yanyan was very excited.

"I saw it." Xie Luoshu also took photos of the whole process and posted them on his loving family page, "Baby is awesome!"

After catching fish, it was time to catch snails! Several children picked up small bamboo baskets from the shore and put them around their waists. Lele took two and gave one to Yanyan.

Lele was very generous: "Yanyan, I'm telling you, I'm really good at catching snails, so I always bring two. This is for you."

The small bamboo basket is delicate and small, with a light yellow halo on the bamboo body. The basket body is made of tightly interwoven bamboo strips, with uniform width and orderly arrangement. It is in the shape of a small cylinder with a slightly closed top, and the handle of the bamboo basket is smooth and round.

Yanyan liked it very much, but he didn't have any chocolate with him, so he said, "I'll give you some chocolate when I get home."

To them, a small bamboo basket is nothing, but chocolate is different! Although they have no shortage of candy now, their family members don’t allow them to eat too much, saying that eating too much candy will damage their teeth. Chocolate is even harder to come by, and the adults put it away, saying that they can only eat it during the Chinese New Year.

"Great, great!" Lele was very happy and felt that he had made a big profit. That was chocolate!

Snails like to cling to the stems of water plants near the river or to the rocks at the bottom of the river. They are of different sizes and have a green-brown shell.
