Chapter 147: Catch the Sparrows

Feng Shi snorted lightly: "I hate it, it's still early, if my mother has something to call us in a while." ”

"It's okay, my mother can't affect us to have a son, this is the biggest thing in my mother's heart. As he spoke, Xuan Wenbao had already pressed Feng Shi down on the kang.

Feng Shi hammered Xuan Wenbao's chest: "You are in a hurry, you put out the candle." ”

As soon as the candlelight went out, the room was filled with spring light.

The next day, the weather was very good, Xuan Miaoer sat by the window to paint New Year's pictures, and recently she has painted less, because there are enough of the previous ones, and she wondered if the New Year's pictures would continue to be printed this year.

In the next year, you can get some packaging boxes, give more gifts, divide a three, six, nine, etc., you can also make a fortune, in fact, high-end general large mansions are available, but small eunuchs or merchants or something, there is a lack of preparation in this regard, and this kind of people is indeed a huge group.

So Xuan Miao'er thought about seeing a thousand drunken sons and talking to him about her idea the day after tomorrow, not to mention that she has always thought that scarcity is precious, and besides, she has to leave some styles to paint next year, and it will be fine for a long time.

She was thinking strangely, outside Xuan Anhao and Dong Lidong knocked on the window twice, Xuan Miaoer looked at the shadow outside the window paper and knew that it was the two of them, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Xuan Anhao whispered: "Sister, Dongzi and I will go to catch the house sparrows, and I will come back to burn it for you to eat later." (The finch reads qiao three times here)

When Xuan Miao'er heard this, she also became interested: "You wait for me for a while, and I'll go with you." ”

"You two boys, don't you want to disturb your sister to paint?" Xuan Wenjiang came out conveniently, and happened to see the two boys and cats under the window of the south house.

Xuan Anhao scratched his head: "Second uncle, I just told my sister that I would go and catch her a bird." ”

Dong Lidong then promised: "Well, we just told Sister Miao'er, and Sister Miao'er said to come with us." ”

"You two boys know that your sister is doing a big thing, don't you? You two go play by yourself, don't make a fuss here. Xuan Wenjiang walked over and walked out of the courtyard with two small ones.

At this time, Xuan Miaoer got dressed and ran out: "Second uncle, I'm almost done with this painting, I want to play with them for a while." ”

Xuan Wenjiang hesitated a little: "Your big workshop." You can't stop halfway. ”

"Second uncle, I just have a proper rest, I can't delay my business because of playing. Xuan Miaoer knew that the second uncle's worries were not forcing her to make money. Instead, I was afraid that she would be childish and hot-blooded for three minutes.

Xuan Wentao heard the voice and walked out: "Second child, let Miao'er go with them, she is still a child, don't put so much pressure on her." Besides, we don't know this kid yet? Isn't that kind of perseverance. ”

Xuan Wenjiang also felt that what Xuan Wentao said made sense: "It's that I've thought too much, Miao'er is too tired during this time, let's go play, let Erlang go with you, he is very good at catching family birds." ”

Xuan Anhao happily shouted to Xuan Anrui to come out, Xuan Anrui took the tools and took them to the open space with many straw stacks at the head of the village.

In ancient times, there were not many things that children could sacrifice their teeth, and this finch was indispensable in winter, especially for children, and that little thing had a big temper. I grabbed it, put it in the bag for a while, and I was angry, and I took it home and burned it in the stove to eat, which was definitely a great delicacy.

Xuan Anrui first asked Xuan Anhao and Dong Lidong to sweep out a clearing next to the haystack with a broom, and then sprinkled some yellow millet on top of the clearing, and used a small wooden stick to support the large sieve that was brought to dry vegetables.

A thin rope was tied to the bottom of the stick, which extended behind the straw stack, and they all hid behind the straw stack and watched quietly. The house finch may also know that this is a trap. But when it saw the vast sea of snow everywhere, and its stomach growled with hunger, it had to act rashly.

Seeing that two house finchers entered the big sieve, Xuan Miaoer was super nervous with her hands pinching the corners of her clothes. But Xuan Anrui, who was holding the rope, was unusually calm, and it wasn't until the house sparrow entered the sieve that he pulled the rope suddenly, and the two house sparrows were caught.

Xuan Anhao and Dong Lidong jumped over, and Xuan Anrui put his hand in and grabbed two house sparrows. put it in Xuan Anhao's cloth bag, put a trap on it, and continued to catch the house finch.

Xuan Miaoer also played like this when she was a child, but she was thinking about it at that time, and she didn't catch it, but now it's different, she has an older brother who can teach herself, how can she not use it?

"Brother, let me try. Xuan Miao'er looked at Xuan Anrui with a somewhat coquettish tone.

This was originally a child coming out to play, and Xuan Anrui rarely saw his sister's childishness, so he hurriedly handed over the rope: "You must wait for the house finch to enter and then pull the rope, don't be nervous the first time, just catch it a few times." ”

Xuan Miaoer took the rope excitedly, and after waiting for a while, a house finch came over, after all, Xuan Miaoer is an adult, after listening to Xuan Anrui's skills, she can still calm down, and she caught a house finch for the first time.

Next, Xuan Anhao and Dong Lidong also took turns to catch a few times, and they all gained a lot, and there were indeed a lot of house sparrows at this time, and they caught more than 20 in half a day, seeing that the hour was not early, Xuan Anrui took his younger brothers and sisters home.

When passing by Li Langzhong's house, Li Mengxian happened to come out to pour water, Xuan Anrui took out a few house sparrows from the bag and handed them to Xuan Miaoer: "You take two for Mengxian, her brother doesn't come back often, she can't eat this thing." ”

Xuan Miao'er happily took over the little house sparrow, this little guy has a big temper, most of them were angry at this time, she ran to Li Mengxian with the house sparrow: "Sister Mengxian, my brother asked me to give it to you, we will go to catch the house finch in the afternoon." ”

When Li Mengxian heard that it was Xuan Anrui who brought it, she couldn't help but smile on her face: "Thank you, Brother An Rui, for me." ”

"Don't thank me, I still caught it. Xuan Miao'er deliberately embarrassed Li Mengxian, anyway, there was no one on the side.

Li Mengxian blushed and waited for Xuan Miao'er to glance: "I won't thank you for making you bad." ”

Xuan Miaoer looked at this budding friend with a smile and thought it was very interesting: "I'll go home first, and I'll go to Sister Xiao Tao to play at night." ”

"Go back, it's almost time to eat. Li Mengxian didn't forget to look at Xuan Anrui while talking, now Xuan Anrui is dressed better than before, plus he is often in the house in winter, his face is also white, he is fourteen years old, and he looks like a handsome young man.

Xuan Miao'er waved her hand and ran back to Xuan Anrui: "Let's go, brother." ”

Li Mengxian didn't forget to wave his hand at Xuan Anrui and them again before returning to the courtyard.

When he got home, Liu had already started cooking, and the fire in the stove had just burned out, and it was a good time to burn the house sparrows, Xuan Anrui took his younger brothers and sisters and began to burn the house sparrows. (To be continued.) )
