practice what you preach

Dad was very busy at that time, in addition to all kinds of affairs and meetings in his own work, there was also a sick wife in bed to take care of, as well as mushrooms, piglets, and farm work waiting for him. Maybe it was because he suddenly realized that my education was not enough, and began to talk to me more and more, reasoning, what "the son does not teach the father's fault", "there are no rules, there is no circle", "the heart of harming people is indispensable, the heart of guarding people is indispensable", "the body is not afraid of shadows"...... And so on, and so on, and the truth doesn't matter if I listen to it or not, it's the same as feeding a pig, throwing baskets and baskets to feed me, until one time I found out that there was a reason why his reputation was good.

One weekend, I was called by my uncle to sit together in front of the village by the river to steal fishing, I had just learned to fish with my cousin in the village, I was still a little absent-minded, half-heartedly and my uncle would talk about this and that, and he was very impatient to remind me to be patient fishing, the more I saw him impatient, the more comfortable I felt in my heart; the small river in front of the village was a fork of the canal, from the west to the door of my uncle's house to the east, and to the east along the way to the door of my second uncle's house, the more east the more a dead end was reached, and then the brigade will not go to the boat water surface fence fence contracted to the people in the neighboring village to engage in aquaculture, because it is on the edge of the village, so there are a lot of fishermen, the people in the neighboring village fish farmers will often come to inspect and persuade fishing every time they put fish fry during that time, and then they come to such a trip every other day, persuasion fishing is actually to persuade adults like my uncle, we little children will not say anything, this is so "kind" Called me to fish, in fact, it was also forced to be impatient, but at least there was a cushion back is better than the embarrassment when the patrol was caught, before there was a patrol standing on the river facing our uncle and said: "Teacher Zhao, almost, okay, you are also a teacher! It is not easy for us to raise some fish, but also to support the family!", he calmly collected the rod and threw the pot to me: "You are a fine debt collector, and tricked me into the fish pond raised by others to fish, hurry up and collect the pole, embarrassed!"

I just barely learned to fish, I also know that this Si called me to fish is also "weasel to the chicken New Year" did not press any kindness, and every time he called me to come, he had to sit in the best position in the west, let me sit in a position on the east side, although the distance was not very far, but the fish swam from his side, every time I asked to change the position, he refused, so usually when there was no fish to eat the hook, I would disgust him in various ways. Just when I was disgusted with him, I saw a group of fish on the surface of the water slowly swimming from him to the east, he excitedly lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "The fish are coming, stop talking!", "plop", I immediately threw down a large handful of bait in a ball, and after a while, the fish were hooked one after another, and there were more than 10 grass carp without blinking, which was more than 20 catties, and my uncle watched me keep pulling fish......

In the evening, when my father came home, he looked at a table of snacks: there were fried fish, steamed fish, braised fish and fish soup, and then he looked at the small table next to him and a large pot of pickled fish, and immediately asked his mother who was smiling and pickling fish: "Where did the fish come from?"

My mom replied excitedly, "Your baby son caught it today!"

Knowing that I caught a fish, and it was not a big grass carp fry, he said to me with a serious face: You can catch one and eat it, catch so many fish, and it is a grass carp fry that has just been released, this is a despicable act of stealing, this is not right, and you must not do such a thing again in the future!".

"Uncle and the others are also fishing!", I replied dismissively.

"Then your uncle and others are all wrong behaviors, other people's affairs, we can't control it, we will resolutely restrain ourselves in the future, we can't do it anymore!", he continued to say this, didn't say anything, still picked up the wine glass and picked up the chopsticks......

It wasn't until the next day when I went to school that one of my classmates told me: Xiaolong, your father went to my grandfather's house yesterday afternoon to apologize and give money, saying that you caught fish fry raised by my grandfather...... Teaching by word and deed is the best example education, my father's not too many strict words and exemplary education made me realize my previous mistakes, and I was even more ignorant and determined to learn from him to be reasonable, principled, and bottom line.

Before I knew it, I was in the sixth grade, and because my father became more and more involved in my education process and asked me to do it, he would lead by example and practice! In addition, Mr. Yin Hongxiao's encouraging education for me made me more and more gradually interested in learning, and my homework was able to be completed and handed in on time, and there were fewer and fewer things to do as a traitor, and I was no longer so disgusting and suspicious, so that in the second semester of graduating from primary school, my mother couldn't help but secretly sigh to my father: No one came to sue or come to the door to ask for compensation one day, I prayed that the day of danger had finally passed;
