Chapter 3: Follow Daddy to Fish
Lin Yue, who had been playing for a day, fell asleep on the kang tired after dinner. Liu Li gently picked her up, took off her clothes, wiped her face with a wet towel, carefully put her into the mattress, and covered her with a sheet. Lin Yue snorted uncomfortably, then turned over, and then fell asleep again.
Lin Chengzhi rolled up a cigarette, lit it, put it in his mouth and took a deep puff, and then saw two puffs of white smoke rushing out of Lin Chengzhi's nose and floating in the room, not dispersing for a long time.
"Pump, smoke, you know, choke to death, get up, go to the outhouse to smoke" Liu Li waved her hand in disgust, then moved a large piece into the kang, and casually took the unfinished sweater placed on the tip of the kang and continued to knit.
The news broadcast on TV was finished, and the weather forecast was being broadcast at this time, Lin Chengzhi heard that there would be light rain tomorrow, and he didn't know what he thought, and then immediately took out the cigarette in his hand and called out to the two sons who were in the hut.
"Do you two want to fish? If you don't go to school tomorrow, Dad will take you to Xiaohegou to fish" Lin Chengzhi leaned forward and said to his two sons mysteriously.
"Okay, I'm going to fish tomorrow, I'm going to catch a lot of fish, and it's going to be long, so long, and I'm going to catch a lot of small fish and keep them in a bucket." As Lin Yongfeng spoke, he straightened his arm and compared it with Lin Chengzhi. Lin Yongtian was also excited next to him, rubbing his hands and eager to try.
"You two go find a bucket and a longer stick." Lin Chengzhi instructed his two sons. "Okay," the two men shouted happily, and then rushed out of the house and ran outside to find the bucket.
"Be quiet, don't wake up your old sister" Liu Li looked at the babbling two sons, reminded loudly, and then scratched the tip of a thick needle twice on her head.
After the brothers found the barrel, they placed it at the door of the house, and then tiptoed into the hut gently.
"You have to keep an eye on them tomorrow, although the water in the small river ditch is very shallow, but you also have to pay attention to safety, don't step on the glass ballast," Liu Li instructed uneasily, after speaking, she raised the half-knitted sweater with both hands and looked at it to see if there was any wrong knitting.
"There's some sand in that little ditch, and besides, no one usually goes, who throws things into it. The water there is just over the calf, so it's safe" Lin Chengzhi crossed his feet on the side of the kang, his eyes were firmly fixed on the "Variety Show" being broadcast on TV, and he said without looking back.
"Will I take you old girl tomorrow? If she knew that your grandfather would not take her with her, she would definitely cry and clamore to follow, and I won't be able to resist it then, you have to arrange it" The needle in Liu Li's hand did not stop, and continued to weave, hoping that when the weather was cold, her daughter would be able to wear it.
"Then follow along, three old men, I can't take her with me. It's good to go and see it, and you can still recall memories when you grow up, hehe" Lin Chengzhi touched his chin full of stubble with his hand, imagining Lin Yue when he grew up, and chatting with others about the experience of touching fish when he was a child, he felt how wise his decision was.
"Then you can do it." After Liu Li said a word, she stopped talking. The yarn in her hand flew up and down with the two needles, and in a short time she knitted small flowers.
The next day, Lin Yongtian and Lin Yongfeng didn't wait for Liu Li to call, so they got up early. After washing, I sat down at the dining table and began to eat.
Lin Yue opened her eyes, recalled in her mind what Lin Chengzhi had just said in her ear, and immediately became sleepy, got up and sat up.
"Dad, carry me down" Lin Yue, who was dressed, stood by the kang and stretched out her arms to Lin Chengzhi. Lin Chengyi hugged her and tickled her little face with his stubble chin, which provoked Liu Li to laugh again, accompanied by the sound of begging for mercy. The father and daughter played around for a while, and then they were ready to eat.
After the four of them had eaten, they set off to the small river ditch with the guy who was touching the fish. Xiao Lin Yue jumped up and down to lead the way, humming "Return from Target Shooting" that Lin Cheng had just taught her a few days ago. The sky is a little stuffy, Lin Chengzhi said that the sky is boring, and the fish will swim to the surface of the water to breathe, and it is easy to catch at this time. Besides, it won't rain for a while that day, and if they go back quickly, they won't get rain.
The small river ditch, really as its name suggests, is a small ditch two meters wide, and the water in the ditch is particularly clear. On both sides of the ditch are weeping willows, long willows, hanging down in the water, and under the blowing of the wind, the surface of the water is rippled in layers.
Lin Yue walked cautiously in the water, because she was short, and the water covered her thighs. Looking at the small tadpoles swimming in the water, as well as the small fish that occasionally passed by, Lin Yue giggled happily, and raised a foot from time to time to step on the small fish passing by.
Lin Chengzhi and Lin Yongtian bent over in front, their hands touching in the water, Lin Yongfeng pouted, followed behind with a stick, leading his sister Lin Yue with a reluctant face. He also wanted to touch the fish, but Lin Chengzhi didn't let him, he had to follow behind, take his sister well, protect her in the name of beauty, and don't let her be planted in the water.
"It's so big, what are you doing here, it's really troublesome" Lin Yongfeng poked the wooden stick in his hand and muttered, but he held his sister's little hand tightly.
Suddenly, Lin Yongfeng stiffened, because he felt something swimming around in his leg, and when he looked down, it turned out to be a big fish. Lin Yue saw that Lin Yongfeng was not moving, followed his line of sight into the water, and stood motionless.
"Dad, Dad, come on, my second brother has a big fish here" Lin Yue saw that the second brother didn't even dare to breathe at this time, so he suppressed his throat and shouted in a low voice, because he was too excited, his voice was still a little trembling.
When Lin Chengyi heard this, he turned around slowly, looked in the direction of his old son, and then gently approached the two brothers and sisters. Slowly, slowly, Lin Chengzhi finally moved to him, he slowly bent down, his hands gently reached into the water, pressed against the riverbed, and slowly approached the big fish.
At this time, Lin Yongfeng and Lin Yue both held their breath, for fear of scaring away the target.
Suddenly, Lin Chengzhi leaned forward, his arms quickly brought closer, and his hands pinched: "Hey, I got it."
The fish in Lin Chengzhi's hand is really not small, estimated to be about ten catties. Lin Chengzhi's hand tightly pinched the body of the fish, held it directly in his arms, and stepped ashore in one big stride. He was afraid that the big fish would fall into the water as soon as he stood up.
Lin Yue saw that his father had caught the big fish, so he laboriously carried the bucket, happily went ashore, walked up to Lin Chengzhi, and said excitedly, "Dad, put it in the bucket, don't let it run away!" ”
I saw that the big fish as tall as the bucket was carefully put into the bucket by Lin Chengzhi. Afterwards, Lin Yue held several handfuls of water in her small hands, she didn't want the big fish to die of thirst. The big fish swooped in the bucket in a hurry, but it could never return to the water.
"Ou~, I've caught a big fish, I can eat fragrant fish at night, I want to eat a big bowl of rice!" Lin Yue clapped her little hands happily, looked at the big fish in the water and said excitedly.
After touching for about an hour, the four of them came out of the ditch, carrying a bucket full of fish and preparing to go home. At this time, the sky also began to drip, and standing in the distance, looking at the home located next to the hill, it looked particularly hazy and beautiful at this time.
In the evening, Liu Li gave everyone fish stewed in a large pot, and there were corn tortillas in the pot. The fish soup is filled with only salty salt and vinegar, and it tastes very fragrant and original. Lin Yue ate fresh fish, drank fragrant fish soup, and ate a lot of corn tortillas, which made Liu Lizhi, who was sitting on the sidelines watching, worried.
"Come, mom will rub your belly for you, otherwise it will be time to accumulate food in a while" As she spoke, Liu Li dragged Lin Yue over, rubbing her right hand on Lin Yue's stomach through her clothes.
After a while, Lin Yue fell asleep, and in her dream, she also caught a big fish, a big fish as tall as her, but she was happy.
