Zhang Longfei arranged for several daughters to take a nap with his grandmother, saying that he would let them take a good nap and take them to the river to fish for shrimp when they woke up. When the girls heard that their father was going to take them out to play, they were so happy that they agreed one after another. After the daughters fell asleep one by one, Zhang Longfei braved the scorching sun and began to get busy, preparing the items needed for shrimp fishing.

The sun is gradually setting in the west, and the midsummer sun has also subsided a lot, not as viciously as at noon. Zhang Longfei walked into the house and saw that his daughters had woken up and were whispering to each other. Only the second daughter Zhang Yingchun is still asleep, immersed in sleep.

Zhang Longfei approached the bed, looked down at Zhang Yingchun's appearance, and a trace of pity suddenly surged in his heart. He remembered that he saw the contents of Zhang Yingchun's diary in the morning, and he kept thinking about trying to make Zhang Xichun happy. At lunchtime, I thought of a riddle to let Zhang Yingchun enjoy it, but I didn't expect it to backfire, which only increased Zhang Yingchun's unhappiness.

After Zhang Longfei got up the other daughters, he woke up Zhang Yingchun who was sleeping softly. Zhang Yingchun opened his eyes and saw his father beside his bed in a daze, so he turned over and shouted that he wanted to go to the river to play in the water.

At this time, grandma Wei Chunhua walked in. She held a long-sleeved shirt in her hand and asked Zhang Yingchun to wear it when she went out later, to prevent her arms from being tanned by the afternoon sun. Zhang Yingchun answered vaguely, reached out to take the clothes, and buttoned them carelessly.

Zhang Longfei stood aside and watched, his heart moved, and he said to Zhang Yingchun with a smile:

"Six brothers,

To each his own door.

Wrong door,

It's a laughing death. ”

"What?" Zhang Yingchun didn't seem to understand his father's words, tilted his little head, blinked his big eyes and asked rhetorically.

Zhang Longfei repeated what he had just said, and deliberately reminded Zhang Yingchun that the riddle was related to what she was doing now.

Sure enough, Zhang Yingchun reacted suddenly and shouted happily: "It's the button for wearing clothes." ”

When Zhang Longfei heard this, he immediately laughed happily. He squatted down, stretched out his hand to hold Zhang Yingchun's little face, and said intently, "You're right." You're amazing, our family's Spring Festival is the smartest. ”

Seeing that he had guessed the riddle correctly and was praised by his father, Zhang Yingchun was suddenly very happy. She quickly buttoned up her clothes, slid off the bed with a thud, and ran out with a shout of joy.

Zhang Yuanchun and his sisters were already waiting in the courtyard. Zhang Yuanchun stood at the door of the kitchen wearing a sunhat and carrying a stack of fishing rods made of thin bamboo rods, discussing with his grandmother Wei Chunhua what kind of taste he wanted to make lobster into at night. Zhang Tanchun excitedly waved the net pocket in his hand, and made a mess with Zhang Xichun. Zhang Xichun carried a kettle on his back, bouncing behind Zhang Tanchun's buttocks, and from time to time opened his little hand to catch the shadow of the net pocket.

Zhang Longfei also followed Zhang Yingchun out. He carefully wrapped the earthworm he turned out of the gutter in his pocket and handed it to Zhang Yingchun to hold. When Zhang Yingchun saw those wriggling earthworms, he was immediately frightened and screamed, and he didn't want to continue.

However, my sister Zhang Tanchun is more courageous. She saw that Zhang Yingchun was scared by the earthworm and screamed, so she let Zhang Yingchun hold the net bag in her hand. He took the paper bag wrapped in earthworms from his father, followed behind Zhang Longfei, and went out happily.

About half a mile south of Zhangjiakeng Village, there is a wide embankment of the Chuang River. The inside and outside of the embankment are covered with willows, graceful and colorful, and full of green. The breeze blew, and thousands of willow branches fluttered with the wind, which was very eye-catching.

Chuanghe is a large river in Nan'an County, which meanders through the entire town of Hexia. The Chuang River originates in the Qinling Mountains, flows down from west to east, flows through more than 10 counties and cities in a zigzag manner, and finally joins the Huai River system in the south of Henan. The original name of the Chuanghe River is Dasha River, because the bottom of the river is sandy, so it is called Dasha River. It's just that when the Dasha River flows through this section of Zhangjiakeng Village, the people of Zhangjiakeng are used to calling it "Chuang River".

According to the elderly people in the village, when Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, was defeated and lurking in Funiu Mountain, he was besieged by the officers and soldiers of the government, and he was in danger of being wiped out. Li Zicheng was so anxious that he didn't sleep for several days and nights, and his hair was half white. One night, as soon as King Chuang fell asleep, he dreamed that a white-clothed immortal gave him instructions and told him to retreat in the direction of the Dasha River. With that, the white-clothed immortal disappeared. The next day, according to the instructions of the white-clothed immortals, Li Zicheng went down the Dasha River and went straight to Luoyang, where he cooked the blessed king Zhu Changxun alive to deter the world. Later, in order to commemorate Li Zicheng's experience, people called the Dasha River as the Chuanghe River.

"Crayfish, red armor.

The dragon king's general is it.

The Great Sage of War in the Crystal Palace,

East Coast Dou Nezha.

Crayfish, shy answer.

Big steel claws with black eyes.

Don't be afraid to roll up,

I'm going to bring you home..."

Zhang Longfei sang nursery rhymes with the children while leisurely climbing the embankment of the river. The embankment is wide and willow-shady, which is very pleasant. When the children saw it, their childlike hearts were full of joy, and they all cheered happily and couldn't stop jumping.

Zhang Longfei stood on the embankment and looked around. The river forks in the embankment of the river are vertical and horizontal, and there are many waterways. Based on his previous experience, he deliberately chose a secluded river fork as a "battlefield" for the children. He knew that lobsters were quiet and often haunted the ditches where water and grass were abundant.

Zhang Longfei's fishing tackle is made from local materials and by hand. The slender bamboo pole is just right to plunge into the soft soil. As long as a greedy lobster can't help but come up and take a bite, the cotton thread will bend the bamboo pole, revealing clues. At this time, as long as you gently lift the bamboo pole, and then use Zhang Longfei's self-made net pocket to gently poke into the water, from the bottom up, one copy at a time.

Zhang Longfei asked Zhang Tanchun to hold Zhang Xichun's little hand and not let her run around. One by one, he stuck bamboo poles on the bank of the river, tied earthworms and threw them into the water. He asked Zhang Yuanchun and Zhang Yingchun to take a closer look. If any of the bamboo poles are pulled and bent, tell him immediately, otherwise the lobster will run away.

When Zhang Yuanchun and Zhang Yingchun heard this, they immediately became nervous. The two little girls immediately stared intently at the thin bamboo poles that were lined up, and did not dare to be distracted for a moment, for fear that the crayfish would escape. However, Zhang Tanchun and the two sisters were idle, so they found a small puddle to play in the water. After a while, Xiao Xichun's body was covered with muddy water and made a small flower face.

Zhang Longfei knew that the children were having fun, and he didn't stop it, so he let them play happily in the water. At this time, Zhang Yuanchun suddenly shouted nervously and excitedly: "Dad, hurry, Dad, bend, bend, bend." ”

Zhang Longfei knew that there must be a crayfish hooked. He hurriedly picked up the net pocket and ran towards Zhang Yuanchun. Who knows, as soon as Zhang Longfei ran to Zhang Yuanchun's side, the bamboo pole that was originally bent instantly returned to its original state. Seeing this, Zhang Longfei sighed slightly. He knew that the crayfish must have been scared away by Zhang Yuanchun's shouting.

Zhang Yuanchun looked at Zhang Longfei with blank eyes, and didn't say a word, as if he had made something wrong. When Zhang Longfei saw it, he hurriedly reached out and touched Zhang Yuanchun's head, telling her that crayfish are all elves in the water and don't like to shout. Zhang Yuanchun listened, and then he was a little relieved.

Zhang Yingchun seems to have learned the lesson of her sister. She lowered her voice and mysteriously shouted, "Daddy, Daddy, here, here." ”

Zhang Longfei hurriedly walked over. He leaned down, gently pulled up the bamboo pole, and slowly lifted it up little by little. After a while, a pair of bright red big claws slowly emerged from the water, and the big claws tightly clamped the earthworm on the cotton thread, refusing to relax at all. Two black eyes also loomed, accompanied by a long beard left or right, tempting non-stop. Zhang Longfei slowly stretched the net pocket into the water, and with a sharp copy, a bright red lobster fell into the net pocket, struggling non-stop.

Zhang Yingchun was suddenly very happy, and kept clapping his hands and applauding. Zhang Tanchun and Zhang Xichun heard their sister's shouts, and they also quickly stood up and ran forward one after another.

Four little girls gathered around the bucket, staring at the big lobster in the bucket that kept retreating, chattering and laughing. Zhang Tanchun had the courage to reach out and pinch the long whisker of the lobster, but he didn't expect the lobster's big claws to grab it at once, almost pinching Zhang Tanchun's fingers. Zhang Tanchun screamed in fright and quickly retracted his hand. When the three sisters next to them saw it, they all shouted excitedly.

Zhang Tanchun seems to be unwilling. She reached out and picked up a twig on the ground, which slowly reached out to the lobster's eyes. Sure enough, with a wave of the lobster's big claws, it clamped the small branch tightly. Zhang Tanchun was very proud. She gently tugged at the twig and spun it around in the bucket. Xiao Xichun saw it, and also shouted to play. It's just that the lobster struggled violently, so frightened that Xiao Xichun's hands trembled, and the branches in his hands also fell into the bucket. When the sisters saw this, they laughed happily again.

Zhang Longfei was also in a good mood when he saw the children having so much fun. After a while, there were more and more lobsters in the buckets, and they were huddled together in a disturbed manner.

Over time, the girls gradually lost interest in lobsters. Zhang Tanchun and Zhang Xichun still went to the puddle to play in the water. Zhang Yuanchun was attracted by the colorful wildflowers on the riverbank, and picked a handful full of them.

Zhang Yingchunchun sat quietly on the riverbank, throwing a pebble into the water from time to time. The pebbles fell into the water, rippled in circles, faded away, and faded away. When the water surface returned to calm, Zhang Yingchun threw a small pebble into the water again, staring closely at the circle of ripples and thinking about his thoughts.

At this time, two figures, one tall and one short, walked down from the embankment in the distance. The two figures seemed to see Zhang Longfei's father and daughter, as if they were standing in place and discussing for a while, and then walked straight to this side.

Zhang Longfei was staring intently at the surface of the water, not noticing anyone coming. It was Zhang Tanchun's sentence "Uncle Li is good", which made Zhang Longfei realize that someone was coming.
