Chapter 3: Beating
"Listen to my command, listen to my command, the general and I push this bamboo pole, Xiao Wu and Da Liang push the other one. Hurry up, hurry up......" Seeing that the bamboo pole moved first, and then kept shaking on the ice cave, Yang Dongxu pounced on it and pressed it.
Two of the four little kids pouted and stuck their butts against the ice and began to push the bamboo poles. The bamboo pole is originally round and very thick, and the small hands of several people can only hold half of it, so there is no problem of the ice surface and the bamboo pole clamping the fingers.
Although the four children are not very old, but the children in the countryside are solid, four or five years old to climb trees and dig birds' nests, so the strength is not small, plus there is no resistance on the ice, pushing the bamboo pole to run a distance, a black fish from the ice pole was pulled out of the bamboo pole.
"Turn, turn, run to shore. Feeling a sudden lightness in the back, Yang Dongxu, whose face was flushed, stood up.
Da Liang several children cheered with joy on their faces, and the four of them carried the ends of the bamboo poles and ran towards the shore, and the black fish dragged them on the ice and ran with them.
When he arrived at the shore, Yang Dongxu, whose heart was pounding, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked back at the black fish, and his eyes lit up. The blue-black black fish was as thick as his legs, and weighed at least six or seven pounds.
"You three watch, don't let it run, let's keep fishing. Be careful, don't let it hit. Without Yang Dongxu making a move, after stopping, the black fish himself spit out the barbed hook from his mouth and kept slapping it on the ice.
The ice was slippery, and with a few taps, the blackfish began to glide on the ice, ready to find a hole to escape, but the shore was frozen and solid, and it obviously couldn't escape. But the strength of this fish is not small, and a child like his sister will definitely be beaten and cry.
Let a few small people watch the black fish don't run away, if you run away, kick it back, kick it and run away don't be counterattacked, Yang Dongxu and the four of them returned to the position of the freezer.
With the first harvest, Daliang and several people forgot whether they would be beaten when they went home, and they were already immersed in the excitement of winter fishing that they had never had, and the beating was left behind.
I don't know if the fish in the river are really overflowing, or if the air near the ice cave is good, and if these carnivorous fish are gradually opening their mouths to eat.
In less than half an hour, Yang Dongxu and a few people got four black fish and three catfish up, not counting the two unhooked runs, the smallest of which also had an absolute bumper harvest of three or four catties.
"There is only one general, the biggest black fish belongs to him, the second largest black fish and the smallest black fish are mine, the third largest catfish and the second smallest black fish belong to the big Liang family, and the middle two are almost to the small five families. Glancing up at the sun, Yang Dongxu refused Da Liang's proposal to find a toad to fish again and began to divide the fish.
Although Da Liang and Xiao Wu were very enthusiastic about the black fish in the general's more than ten catties, they didn't say anything when they saw that there were two fish in their house that were much bigger than the general's.
"Brother Xuzi, I don't dare to take it. The general, who was very happy to get the biggest fish, wanted to get the big black fish, but the big black fish slapped his tail a few times and almost didn't hit him in the face, and the general must have begun to cry when he spoke.
"Uh......" Yang Dongxu couldn't help but scratch his head a little, he is not an adult now, the smallest of these fish is three or four catties, the eldest of these children is himself, he is not yet six years old, and more than ten catties of live fish obviously can't get home.
I want to try to get a line to pass through the gills of the fish, and then let the general drag it home, see the hideous teeth of the black fish, and then look at his little hand Yang Dongxu gave up, he didn't want to be a nine-fingered beggar.
Originally, Yang Dongxu wanted to get the fish quietly into the village, or a few children to pull the fish back, and the adults just looked at it a few times and said something cool with red eyes, but now it seems that the harvest is too rich, and he has to call his parents.
"Xiao Wu, you run fast, call the grandfather from your carpenter's house, and ask him to get a rope, or that big bag, there is no way to take this back." Yang Dongxu said helplessly.
"Will they divide our fish if they find out?" Da Liang snorted his snot, worried.
"It's okay, I'll give him mine if I divide it. Yang Dongxu waved his hand and asked Xiao Wu to go quickly.
It's just that the grandfather calls his parents, and Yang Dongxu naturally has his own considerations. The eldest grandfather is the village chief, although there are still a few grandfathers here, but he speaks in a word.
The most important thing is that Yang Dongxu knows that this grandfather is very upright, although he usually encounters naughty children, no matter who he is, he will be slapped twice on the buttocks, and the children are a little afraid of him, but the grandfather is not bad.
So at this time, call grandpa to come over and get a few slaps on the buttocks at most, but the fish will definitely not be lost. If you call your parents over, not to mention running to the middle of the river to fish in the middle of the winter, you won't be able to get rid of it, and maybe the fish will be released back into the river.
Even if they don't put it back in the river and the adults take the fish back, even if it is clear that the fish was caught by these children, the neighborhood will definitely continue to talk strange things. After all, there is a lack of meat in people's stomachs these days.
"Hurry up, or the top three will come and snatch all our fish." Seeing that Xiao Wu was a little hesitant, Yang Xudong couldn't help urging.
"Then you look at the fish, I'll call grandpa. Thinking of the top three, Xiao Wu climbed ashore on his short legs, and then ran towards the threshing floor like hot wheels.
Sanqiang is from the West House, and according to the generation, they are from the same generation as Yang Dongxu's father, so they should call their uncle.
But Sanqiang is a bastard, especially after his daughter-in-law who didn't give birth to children ran away two years ago, he didn't even go to work on the production team, and he was tired of stealing chickens and dogs with bastards in neighboring villages all day long. So no one in Yang Dongxu's generation who knows a little bit about things calls him uncle.
kicked the black fish to prevent it from running too far, and after a while, the figure of the eldest grandfather appeared on the riverbank, holding Xiao Wu who wanted to struggle but didn't dare to move in his arms, and behind him was the third grandfather who had just intervened with him.
"Who is the leader, don't die?" came to the river and looked at a few fish lying there without moving, and then looked at the ice cave in the center of the river, and the grandfather's face sank.
A few little children lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, and Xiao Wu, who was still in the arms of his grandfather, was almost scared and cried.
"Xuzi, you are the biggest, aren't you?" put Xiao Wu down, and the grandfather grabbed Yang Dongxu directly, and before Yang Dongxu could speak, a few big slaps fell on his buttocks.
"Ah......" Although he wanted to endure it, the intense pain on his buttocks, and his body, which was less than six years old, quickly reacted as it should be, and snot and tears instantly rattled on Yang Xudong's face.
As soon as Yang Xudong cried, several frightened little children cried out one by one. Especially my sister Dandan watched her brother being beaten and cried the loudest.
"Cry a fart, if you fall in, you'll all feed the fish. The grandfather roared and let go of Yang Xudong, the little boy was slapped twice and cried for a while, he reached out and hugged the only little girl, Dandan.
"Don't cry, don't cry, crying Lao Ma Hu (a monster that scares children in the countryside) will come to arrest you, and grandpa has rock candy in his pocket for you to eat. Holding Dandan and coaxing a few words, the grandfather took out a piece of rock candy that was a little dirty from his pocket, smacked it in his mouth a few times to remove the dirty part, and stuffed it into Dandan's mouth.
I don't know if I was scared, or if the rock candy was very sweet, Dandan convulsed a few times in his grandfather's arms and stopped crying. Yang Dongxu also slowly shut down, and the little children were obviously afraid of the majesty of the grandfather, so they didn't dare to cry.
"The third child packed up and brought these things back. After a lesson, the grandfather said to the third grandfather who was smoking a dry tobacco pouch next to him.
The third grandfather didn't speak, knocked the dry tobacco pouch on his heel a few times, pinned it to his waist, reached out and picked up the bamboo pole on the ground, untied the rope from the bamboo pole and the hook and divided it into two sections.
Just now, I heard that Yang Dongxu and these little children were catching fish on this side of the river, which scared the eldest grandfather and the third grandfather, and hurriedly ran over with Xiao Wu in his arms, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to the rope and big bag in Xiao Wu's mouth.
The fish were skewered in two and threaded through the ends of the bamboo pole, and the bamboo pole was carried on the shoulder as a flat pole.
"What are you little sons and bits doing standing there? Don't go up yet, go back and clean you up. Looking at Yang Xudong, a few little children were still standing there wiping their tears.
The eldest grandfather kicked Yang Xudong's buttocks, which was the closest, without much force, but it also made Yang Xudong's body stagger, and he began to run like a riverbank.
Don't ask the grandfather that he has already decided that Yang Xudong is the culprit, not only because he is the biggest, but also because the chisel and hammer are not who else this guy went to the carpenter's house to borrow?
"Grandpa, suck ...... Fish....... Fish...... Eat fish...... Sucking ...... "Dandan, who is not very sensible, is obviously instantly established by the grandfather with a candy, although he is still a little sobbing, but he has forgotten his fear of the grandfather, pointing at the fish that was being picked by the third grandfather and still flicking his tail, snorting vaguely.
"Fish, big fish, go home and ask your mother to make fish for you to eat, do evil. The grandfather was dissatisfied with the calloused hand, wiped Dandan's little flower face, and shook his head.
Even if the crops are harvested this year, people can only mix half a bag, although the child will not be too hungry, but obviously there is not much good food to eat, especially meat, looking back at the ice hole, the grandfather's eyes became a little firmer, and he obviously made a decision in his heart.
Go home...... Obviously thinking too much, Yang Dongxu and a few little children were taken directly to the carpenter's house, and then the parents of several little children rushed over.
Except for Dandan, who was still in the arms of the eldest grandfather, everyone's butts suffered. Rural education children don't care whether it's right or not, and then talk about it, if it's right, the memory is profound, and the wrong memory can also be profound, killing two birds with one stone.
"Spanking a fart, going to fight home, who will you show the child here?" Although he beat Yang Dongxu just now, he saw that several parents were a little heavy, and his grandfather was instantly reluctant.
Breaking free from their parents' hands, a few little children ran directly to the grandfather, although they were a little afraid of this grandfather just now. But now they know that it is safer to be around this grandfather, at least they will not be beaten, and the child's thoughts are so simple and direct.
