As soon as Li Cheng took the slingshot of the stone, he hit the river, and the stone sank into the river, leaving only a layer of vibrating water lines, and it was calm in a moment.

Looking at the water lines on the surface of the lake, it reminded Li Yangqing that there should be fish in this water, although the meat is delicious but the portion is small and expensive, there is free fish to eat in the river! I haven't eaten fish for a long time, and my saliva floods when I think about it, and I am very nostalgic for those delicious grilled fish in modern times.

Turning his head and pulling Li Wendong's clothes lying on the grass, "Wendong, I see that there should be fish in the water, shall we catch fish and eat them?" There are a lot of people here, although there are no fishing nets, let's find a way to catch them, what's the matter? ”

Li Wendong woke up from his drowsy state all of a sudden, "Sister-in-law, it's too dangerous, why are they all children, and they don't have tools, what should I do if something happens when I fall into the water?" ”

"Don't worry about going into the water, we use fishing rods, we do it ourselves, I know how to make fishing rods, go to the bamboo forest on the mountain at the entrance of the village to cut a few fine bamboos, others find some grasshoppers to use as bait, and then go home to get some salt, twine, flint, knife, a small section of sorghum pole."

"Catch fish and eat it! Yes, yes! My house is relatively close, so my sister and I will go back and get salt, twine, flint, sorghum stalks, and knives! Li Bao'er shouted when she heard it, and the other children who were playing with it quickly put down the slingshot in their hands and ran over when they heard that there was something to eat, shouting for help.

Li Wendong looked at the noisy child in front of him, "Bao'er and Hua'er live close to each other, go home and get the tools first, I, Cheng Gang, Cheng Qiang and Shi and other knives are back, so I will go to the bamboo forest to cut a few bamboos, Wenqiu took Yu'er, Xing'er and sister-in-law to find grasshoppers, now divide the labor, can you?" ”

"Okay, okay, no problem, my brother and I will go home and get things first, you wait." After Hua'er finished speaking, she pulled her younger brother and ran in the direction of home.

Wen Qiu took Yu'er, Xing'er and Li Yangqing to the nearby grass, everyone lay on the ground, pulling the grass to find grasshoppers, and the three brothers Li Wendong stayed under the tree for the time being.

"Huh! I've caught two, come here, I just saw grasshoppers jumping away. Li Yu'er raised the grasshopper in her hand to show the two little girls next to her, and didn't forget to beckon Li Wenqiu and Li Yangqing to come over.

"Fish, hurry up, don't let the grasshoppers run away! I'm going to find a big leaf and wrap them up. ”

"Okay, Sister Wenqing, go quickly."

Li Wenqing ran to the tree next to him and tore off a few large leaves and stacked them together, "Fish, quickly put the grasshopper on this leaf and bread it." ”

"Then Sister Yangqing will take this wrapped grasshopper! Lest they run out again without noticing, the three of us will catch it first. ”

"Okay." Li Yangqing squeezed the leaves in his hand tightly.

"Brother Wendong, we're back, and we've got everything." Li Bao'er shouted at the three Li Wendong brothers under the tree from afar.

Looking at the two sisters and brothers who were stumbling, Li Wendong hurriedly got up, "Slow down, you slow down, pay attention not to wrestle." ”

"It's okay, we'll pay attention, Brother Wen Dong will give it to you." Li Hua'er handed the basket in her hand to Li Wendong.

"Sister-in-law, everything has been brought by Bao'er and Hua'er, what should I do next?"

"Wen Dong, you take a knife and go to the bamboo forest to cut a few more thin bamboos, and then prepare the bamboo."

"Okay, Cheng Gang, Cheng Qiang, stone, let's cut bamboo." Li Wendong took a knife and beckoned his two younger brothers to follow him towards the bamboo forest.

Li Yu'er had caught enough grasshoppers, and a group of people gathered under the tree to wait for Li Wendong's three brothers and the stone, and after a while, they saw the three brothers and the stone each holding a few bamboos in their hands and walking under the tree at the entrance of the village.

"You're back, come here, I'll take a look at the bamboo, and then I'll tell you what to do next." Li Yangqing looked at the bamboo he brought back, it was all curved, and he didn't need to roast it with fire.

"This fishing rod is like this, first take a bamboo out to make a fish hook, the fish hook is divided into three forks with a small section of bamboo, do a few more, two forks are sharpened and pinched up to sandwich the grasshopper in the middle, tied with a thread, when the fish eats the grasshopper to the mouth, it will drive the twine tied to the grasshopper, the bamboo fork will bounce in the mouth of the fish, and two bamboo forks will pierce the mouth of the fish with a force, this is a simple fish hook, the sorghum pole is cut into a small section as a fish float floating on the water surface, the twine is tied to the hook and the fish drift as a fishing line, and the other end is tied with a bamboo pole, That's probably what happened, and you can act. Li Yangqing neatly finished talking about the method of making a fishing rod.

Li Wendong's three brothers and Shi were responsible for making fish hooks, Li Yangqing took Li Hua'er and Li Wenqiu to do fish floating, Li Yu'er, Li Bao'er and Li Xing'er were responsible for putting bait and tying fishing lines.

"Oops, it's moving, I see the fish floating, is there a fish?" Li Wendong exclaimed in surprise, pulled the fishing line ashore hard, and saw a fish about two catties bouncing on the ground, Li Chenggang put down the fishing rod in his hand, hurriedly ran over to catch the fish jumping around, hugged it in his arms and laughed.

"It's done, there's fish to eat, there's fish to eat."

"Cheng Gang, your fishing rod is gone! I'll find a branch to string the fish so that they don't jump into the river. Li Wendong ran under the tree next to him and couldn't help but tease Li Chenggang.

When the fish was skewered, I heard Li Chengqiang's shout, "Hahaha, I also caught a fish, look at it." Li Chengqiang took off the fish ostentatiously, grabbed it with both hands, and held it up to show off.

"I'll catch one bigger than you in a while, don't be complacent, hum!" Li Shishi glared at Li Chengqiang's fish unconvinced, and boasted.

When the sun was about to set, the group caught a total of eight fish of different sizes, Li Hua'er, Li Wenqiu and Li Xing'er ran to the nearby forest to find some dry branches to prepare for the fire, Li Wendong was responsible for killing the fish, Li Yangqing, Li Chenggang, Li Chengqiang were responsible for cleaning, Li Yu'er and Li Shishi were responsible for skewering the washed fish on clean branches and waiting for roasting.

"The fire is ready, let's bring the skewered fish and grill it!"

"Okay, Sister Wenqiu, the fish is here." Li Yu'er and Li Bao'er took the skewered fish to the fire and roasted the fish, after a while, the other fish that had been packed up were brought over, and a group of people roasted the fish in their hands around the fire, seeing that the first two were about to be grilled, Li Yangqing sprinkled a little salt on it, and suddenly the aroma of the fish was even stronger, and floated around.

Li Bao'er, who couldn't help it, said coquettishly to Li Yangqing: "Sister Yangqing, can you let me taste it first!" Just one bite, I'll help you taste it. ”

Looking at Li Bao'er's little face that was roasted red by the fire, Li Yangqing couldn't bear to refuse and tore off a small piece of roasted fish meat for him, Li Bao'er hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth without fear of being hot, squinted his eyes and looked intoxicated, Li Shishi who was watching on the side hurriedly shook his hand, "Bao'er, what's wrong?" Is it cooked? Is it tasty? ”

"Don't shake the stones, it's delicious, it's so delicious, it's the most fragrant fish I've ever tasted, you can try it too." Stone proudly shared his feelings with everyone.

Li Wendong took the grilled fish from Li Yangqing's hand, and gave a piece to the friends one by one, and everyone put it in their mouths with a feeling of worship, after all, it was the first time he fished and grilled fish by himself, and the taste was very different.

Seeing that it was time to go home for dinner, everyone ate three smaller fish separately, preparing to leave four large ones, and the family took one back to add food to the people in the family, packed up the things to be taken away, each took the fishing rod and the grilled fish to say goodbye, and set foot on the way home in the sunset, and made an appointment to play together next time.

The aunt and nephew of the Li family pushed open the courtyard door of the house, and returned home with the grilled fish wrapped in leaves and their respective fishing rods, and saw that Li Tingyuan was still sitting in the courtyard to rest, Li Chenggang and Li Chengqiang ran to the front of their grandfather with a puffy expression, "Grandpa, grandpa, we caught a fish today, and we brought a grilled fish back for everyone to eat!" ”

"What? You little guys dare to go into the river to catch fish, how dangerous it is, I think I have to teach you a good lesson. Old Man Li stood up as he spoke, staring solemnly at the grandchildren standing in a row.

"Grandpa, you misunderstood, we didn't go into the water, it was my sister-in-law who came up with a way to make a fishing rod, you see this is the fishing rod we made, we didn't go into the water, but we remember your advice." Li Wendong, as the leader, hurriedly explained to Old Man Li like a little adult.

"I'll see." Old Man Li took the fishing rod in Li Wendong's hand and looked at it carefully.

"The fishing rod is doing well, but the next time you want to fish, you must tell your family, bring an adult, after all, it is by the river, and there are other children in the family with you, who will be responsible for the accident?" I'll spare you this time, and I won't make an example. Old Man Li said.

"Yes, grandpa, we were wrong, we won't dare next time." A group of children who had just been elated lowered their heads like pickled eggplants and admitted their mistakes in a low voice.

"What's wrong, what's wrong, what are you arguing about? Why are you standing in a row around your grandfather, have you made something wrong again? Li Qiu's arrived in the courtyard and looked at a group of pickled juniors and thought that something big had happened, Li Qiu's usually loved the children in the family very much, and he was afraid that Li Tingyuan would punish them, so he immediately came over to probe the old man's tone.

"Hey! It was this group of little guys who ran to the river to catch fish without permission, and they didn't go into the water, so they got a fishing rod to fish, and I taught them a lesson, so as not to have an accident next time. Old Man Li touched the beard on the side of his mouth and sighed.

"It's really time to teach a lesson, how can the river be the place where your little baby goes into the water to catch fish, you can't do it again next time, otherwise grandma will teach you a lesson, your mother has already made dinner, go wash your hands and eat!" Don't be angry with the old man, since they admit their mistakes, can they spare them this time? Li Qiu winked at the children as he spoke, and the little ones hurried to the kitchen, for fear that they would be punished if they were one step too late.

"Auntie, mother, you see that the fish we caught today was grilled and divided, and we are going to bring it back to the family to eat together." Li Chenggang held the fish and showed off to Li Sun and Li Wen in the kitchen.

"You caught it! If it's in the river, it's too dangerous, so don't do it next time. Li Wenshi rubbed Li Chenggang's head, took the fish in his hand and put it in the bowl.

"Well, don't worry, auntie! Grandpa has already said that we are. ”

"Okay! Wash your hands quickly and go and call your third uncle and your father to dinner. Li Sun said helplessly.

"Erniang, I'm going to call the second uncle and father in the field to come back for dinner." After Li Wendong finished speaking, he ran out, and when he arrived at the house, he opened his throat and shouted to the two brothers who were busy going home for dinner.
