Chapter Twenty-Nine: Thomas's Trick

Watching the little ones play for a while, Ju An left his brother-in-law and father to continue to watch the little ones play, looking at the sad sheep, being tossed to death, and decided in his heart that next time he got a few more, change to play, and look at the sheep immediately more intake, less gas out and hang up quickly, if the little ones play to death, then you can only eat mutton.

When I entered the house, I found that my mother and sister had already chopped the stuffing and were ready to make dumplings at noon.

Ju An went out to beckon his sister and brother-in-law to come in to help, and beckoned the little ones to come into the house to wash their hands, which can be regarded as saving a lamb from the clutches of the little ones.

Watching the little guy jumping into the house, Ran Ran said to Ju An when he walked over: "Did you see me falling sheep, second master."

Ju An also took a little flute, the first time Ran Ran took the initiative to talk to himself, he came to his senses, pressed the little cowboy hat on Ran Ran's head, and praised: "The second master saw it, Ran Ran is a brave little man."

After listening to Ju An's praise, Xiao Ranran straightened her little chest again: "It's a pity that my aunt didn't take pictures today, wait for my aunt to take pictures next time, show my parents to me, I can fall sheep."

"Wait until tomorrow to drop the sheep, and then let your aunt or uncle take a beautiful picture for you and show your parents" Ju An promised, anyway, he didn't shoot it himself, and he was familiar with what Ju An had always done when he gave away favors from others.

Seeing the little guy happily trotting into the house, Ju An also raised his heel and went in.

Arrange four little tricksters, wash their hands and faces, and then wipe them with a towel, then let them go to the table and learn to make dumplings.

Ju'an's traditional dough rolling work was taken over by his brother-in-law, and the task assigned by his mother to Ju'an was to teach the little ones to make dumplings.

"Emily, you can't eat it, it's raw" Tongtong was sharp-eyed, and found that Emily had wrapped a dumpling that didn't know that there were more buns than dumplings and was about to put it in her mouth, so she hurriedly stopped it.

Then, Ju An didn't dare to be lazy, paid careful attention to the four little guys, and then taught the two little old men to wrap dumplings hand in hand, twisted and pinched two small dumplings, the little guys were not honest, and began to pinch noodles to play, Ju An had to watch from the side, and a few little guys kept shouting.

The crisp children's voice is mixed with Chinese and English.

"Look, I've got a piggy."

"Watch!ihaveacat" is a lot of fun.

When the dumplings were cooked, they deliberately boiled their kittens and pigs separately according to the requirements of the little guys.

When it was served, the kittens and pigs couldn't see the shape, but the little ones ate with relish.

Seeing that everyone is using chopsticks, little Jerry and Emily are also shouting to learn, and my mother accepted this task, and taught for a while, two little foreigners, they can use it, although they are not very skilled, but the dumplings are sent to the mouth, there is no problem at all, basically the same as Tongtong, the small mouth is placed on the edge of the plate, and then one small hand grasps the plate, and the other takes the chopsticks to the mouth and pulls it, and the row into one counts one.

If Ju'an's aunts see two little foreigners, they must be able to guess who taught them chopsticks, because Ju'an's mother has a large family of brothers and sisters, only the mother uses chopsticks to be backhanded, criss-cross clipping things, a gang, cousins, cousins, there are also three Ju'an sisters and brothers like this, plus an aunt, this brother basically ate at Ju'an's house since he was a child until the first grade.

When the little ones were together, they ate a lot, and everyone ate half a large plate, and in the end, my sister was worried about eating too much, so she stopped. Let them eat in the two chairs under the porch before running to play.

When old Thomas came back, he boiled a big pot, which made several foreigners also full of praise.

After eating, Ju An suggested that everyone go fishing in the afternoon. Old Thomas said that he had gone there that afternoon to show his hand to everyone.

When the little ones heard about fishing, they were also interested, and they shouted to prepare fishing rods for them, so Ju'an had to find four log sticks, and then tied a fishing line, and tied a colorful fishing rod to the fishing line, and hung a small fishing hook, and a simple small fishing rod was ready.

On the way out, because his father rode a horse, Ju An finally felt better, Ju An took Tongtong, his father took Ran Ran, little Jerry and Emily sat on the fuel tank in front of his brother-in-law and sister's four wheels respectively, and my mother had to straddle my sister's four wheels.

As soon as he arrived at the pond, Ju An heard Tongtong say before he got off the horse: "Brother, look, there is a fawn, and the tail is still white." Dad, they have never seen a deer in the wild except in the zoo, and they also observed with great interest, this is the common name of Montana is the white-tailed deer, which is very fast, jumps when running, and has a very beautiful posture.

My mother said, "This is also raised on your ranch?" ”。

Ju An replied, "Wild, who has nothing to do with this thing."

The brother-in-law said, "Then no one beats me."

Ju An replied: "Generally kill stags, doe is rarely killed, if foreign tourists want to hunt deer to pay more than 100 US dollars, you can beat a few bucks, these few basically settle in the pasture, you can see them here every day, what do you do with it, and it can't harm the pasture, except for the hunting season, few locals kill deer, the land here is sparsely populated, there are many deer, sometimes you drive on the road, maybe you can come out of the side of the deer."

Everyone looked at the deer and sighed for a while, and then they scattered to find a place to fish, while the mother was not interested in fishing, and looked at the little ones behind them and told them not to play in the water.

After a while, the adults had a harvest, more or less a few small fish, and little Emily was lucky to catch a small fish with long fingers, which made little Emily very excited.

At this time, old Thomas rode his Jefferson and ran up, and when he got closer, he saw that old Thomas was wearing a chest-length water back, and a ring of bright string hung from the head of the pile.

Ju An smiled and said, "Thomas, are you going to lay the net here?"

Old Thomas shrugged his shoulders with a smile, then got off his horse, took the gaudy rope in his hand, and said, "I can fish with this rope."

Ju An said: "Then you go up and order, I just made a fish nest here, don't scare my fish away."

Thomas smiled and nodded, walked to a distance of about ten meters from everyone, walked into the pond with water leaning, and then threw the string up and hit the lake.

Ju An looked at him and said a little funny: "You are, fishing or catching fish."

Thomas replied, "It must be fishing, you'll see it right away."

I watched Thomas shake it a few more times, but he didn't see any fish thrown up, so he looked at his fish intently.

After looking at it for a while, I heard old Thomas shouting, "Yes, nice fish."

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw a one-foot-long fish thrown ashore by Thomas, and Ju An immediately ran over to see if it was fresh.

Dad looked at the fish jumping in the grass on the shore and said, "It's really a different wind, so you can fish too."

Everyone put the fish in the bucket and stood on the side, watching old Thomas perform, and the little ones also put down their little fishing rods and came around.

From time to time, Old Thomas whipped the water with a string, and after a while, another fish was thrown up by Old Thomas.

Ju An shouted: "This is really a god, a rope can also fish."

Two more fell one after another, and Thomas went ashore, and Juan took the rope in his hand and looked at it himself, except for the bright colors, nothing special.

In the end, the old Thomas explained: "Colorful, easy to attract fish, so that the fish think that insects fly by, notice no, the string is tied in a small knot, so that when the fish swallows, there will be a small pause when biting the knot, so that the fish must be thrown ashore at this time, slow or fast, and the fish must be wild fish, will jump out of the lake to eat insects, domestic fish can not fall up."

Ju An took the rope, stood on the shore and threw the rope into the water, threw it back and forth a few times, and never saw a fish come up, shook his head and took the rope and said: "It's really a technical job."

Thomas said with a smile: "First of all, you have to try to go to a deeper place, so that you may encounter big fish, you see I am wearing this, is to ensure that the water has depth, in addition, this fishing should take into account, wrist, eyesight, and experience, it is not something that can be learned in a month or two, of course you can't catch it with two shakes like this, I still learned this hand from my grandfather, and now there are basically not many people who can do this" Thomas sighed wistfully.

Ju An said: "This technique is so cool, no one has learned it."

Thomas shrugged his shoulders: "Who still learns this hand now, even my father didn't learn it, or I learned it with my grandfather when I was a child, any method of catching fish is not more convenient than this, and even if you want to learn, it is not something that can be learned in a while, at least you have to practice for a year or two, many old techniques, no one has learned, maybe, fishing by rope will become a joke in the future, the old tradition is getting less and less, there are more and more new things, and the old methods are constantly eroding."

Ju An smiled and comforted: "You just think it's a kind of progress, before human beings didn't have nets, maybe they fished by hand, and invented nets, then the technology of hand fishing will slowly disappear, just think it's a kind of progress."

Thomas also smiled and said: "Also, the old must be replaced by the new, life is like this, what do I have to regret."

A few little guys listened to the side and didn't understand it, and after listening to it for a while, they scattered in a hurry, and then took a small fishing rod, and asked Ju'an's mother to take off the hook, and a little person stood in a place, threw the fishing line into the water, and after a while, it became, and played with the rod in the water.

Seeing that it was about to turn into a water fight, my mother hurriedly stopped a few little guys from messing around, and the little ones stopped for a while and went together to scare the deer who came to the pond to drink water.
