When Xin'er went home, Youyi was not at home, so he put the meat in the kitchen and put it away before going to see Wang's.

"Mother, what do you think?"

"Mother is fine, it's not that you and your brother have to let me lie down."

"It's okay, where's my brother?"

Wang sat up and leaned against the head of the bed with Xin'er's support, and said, "He said he went to the river to wash mushrooms." ”

"Oh, then you rest at home, I'll go and help my brother."

"Okay, you can go without worry, I'm really fine."

"Hmm."

The two didn't say a few words, and their hearts went all the way to the river.

"Brother, are you done washing?"

Youyi Zheng was washing the mushrooms in the basket when he heard her voice, stopped what he was doing and looked back.

"You're back, I'll finish washing in a while, what are you doing here?"

"I'll help you, there are so many mushrooms, I can't let you wash them alone."

"I can do it alone, you see, I've washed it all half."

The two of them picked up a lot of mushrooms today, and in addition to carrying them to Feng's house, there was a full basket, and it was said that it would be washed in a while, but it seemed that it would take more than half an hour to wash them.

"There are so many, when will you wash alone?"

As he spoke, he squatted down and washed with Youyi.

"Why did you go so long and come back?"

"Mrs. Feng pulled me to talk, this is why I have been delayed for so much time, otherwise I would have come back early."

"Mrs. Feng? What did Madame Feng tell you? ”

"I didn't say anything, I just talked casually, and the time passed after talking, Mrs. Feng still left me to eat, I thought that you would come back after a long time alone.

Look, your sister and I'm okay with you. ”

"Yes, my sister is the best, I know that I feel sorry for my brother."

"That's, I'm naturally sorry for you."

The two of them didn't stop talking in their hands, the strength of the two people was much greater than that of one person, and after a while, the two of them washed all the remaining mushrooms.

"No, let's go, let's go back."

"Hmm."

"Wait a minute."

The two were about to go home, when Youyi suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, brother?" Xin'er asked suspiciously.

"Shhhh Do you think that's a fish? ”

Xin'er looked at the place where the righteous finger was, and there was a day of green threads moving under the broken mushrooms they had washed.

Xin'er knew that it was a fish, and looked around, and there were water waves moving not far away, so there should be fish too.

"Well, it seems to be, brother, you want to ......"

"Well, I'll see if I can catch it, you're waiting for me here."

"yes, okay."

The fish was still swimming slowly, and Youyi gently took off his shoes, rolled up his trousers and walked towards the river.

It was the rainy season, and the water level in the river had risen a lot, and the water in the place chosen by the two was not particularly deep, and it only reached his thighs after Youyi went into the water.

Youyi walked slowly to the middle of the river, his trouser legs were almost wet, and he was getting closer and closer to the fish.

The fish may have sensed something, swam a little faster, but it didn't run.

Youyi saw the opportunity and pounced on it, and soon caught the fish.

The fish swayed desperately in his hand, trying to escape, but Youyi's strength was not small, and he quickly grabbed it out of the water.

"I caught it."

Youyi turned to look at Xin'er, with a happy smile on his face.

This fish is quite large, almost more than a pound, and it is not common to have such a big fish in the river.

"Wow, my brother is amazing!"

The heart jumped with excitement watching from the shore.

Youyi walked to the shore with the fish in his hand, and when he got to the shore, he asked Xin'er to pull a few grasses.

Xin'er quickly pulled the grass back, it was all sturdy grass, and after three or two righteous strokes, he tied the fish and put it in the basket.

"I'll take a look again, I seem to have seen a few small fish just now, I'll see if I can catch them."

"Okay, brother, you have to be careful, don't go too deep, this water has risen a lot."

"I know, you can rest assured."

After taking two steps into the river, Youyi felt that the clothes on his body were troublesome, so he took off his clothes and threw them to Xin'er.

"And then."

"Hey."

Before Xin'er could react, the clothes had already arrived in front of her, and she reached out to pick them up without thinking about it.

The clothes were received, but some of them fell to the ground.

After taking off his clothes, Youyi felt a lot more relaxed, so he stared at the water and walked slowly.

After grabbing almost a stick of incense, Xin'er let him come up, and he also grabbed several pieces enough to eat.

"Brother, don't catch it, go home."

"Okay, I'll be right up."

"Hmm."

Before going ashore, Youyi also caught a small fish.

It's really a small fish, two fingers wide and middle finger length in size.

Today, the brother and sister were lucky, in addition to the big fish they caught at the beginning, they caught three or four small fish one after another.

"Brother, we are really lucky to catch so many fish today."

"Yes, let's go, let's go back first."

"Okay."

One carried a basket and the other returned home with a basin.

On the way, I also met a few people in the village, and when I saw the fish they caught and the pot of mushrooms, I said a few words with envy.

The brother and sister didn't say much, said hello and went straight home.

When they returned home, the two saw Wang sitting on the weir, his face a little heavy.

"Mother, why are you up?"

"I'm tired of lying down, come out and sit down."

"Oh, then be careful, sit down for a while and go back to rest."

"I know, I know it."

"Mother, I'll tell you good news, my brother and I caught a big fish, you see."

Xin'er walked quickly to Wang's side and showed her the fish in the basket.

"Well, it's not small."

Wang's face was a little better, but it was still a little ugly, and the brother and sister were a little puzzled.

"Mother, what's wrong with you, why are you unhappy?"

"It's okay, the river is also rising in the rainy season at this time, so you don't go to the river to catch fish."

"Mother, don't worry, we all know it."

Wang stopped talking, and the brother and sister didn't say much, each going about their own things.

"Brother, the little fish are still alive these days, why don't I raise them, and eat them in two days, and we will eat this big one today."

"Okay, you can do it."

Xin'er found a bucket, filled it with half a bucket of water, and put the small fish in.

The fish had been out of the water for a while, and was still a little sad when it entered the water, but soon it was swimming happily.

Youyi also went to find a sieve, a dustpan came out, and took out the mushrooms they had just washed, spread them out and dried them.

Wang sat on the weir and watched the two children busy with their work, and waited until the two of them were done with their work before speaking.

"Come here, I have something to ask you."

"Oh, good."

The two of them took a stool and sat next to Wang.

"Mother, can you ask if you have anything?" Xin'er glanced at her brother before saying.

"Well, where did the meat come from in the kitchen?"

"Meat? What meat? ”

Youyi has never been in the kitchen since he came back, and naturally he hasn't seen any meat, so he looks dazed.

"Mrs. Feng gave it, Feng Yu'an sent something to the house before, today I picked up a lot of mushrooms with my brother, I sent some to the Feng family, and Mrs. Feng gave me a piece of meat when I left.

But mother, I didn't want to accept it, it was Mrs. Feng and Master Feng who insisted on letting me accept it, mother, don't be angry, I won't go to their house in the future. ”

At this time, Xin'er knew why her mother's face was so ugly, so she hurriedly explained to her.

"Is that so?"

"Really mother, I really didn't lie to you, really, I swear!"

She was so anxious that she was about to cry, and she knew that her mother would be angry if she took the meat back.

"Mother believes you, don't worry, don't worry."

Wang looked like he was about to cry and hurriedly said, for fear that the child would cry immediately.
