Chapter Eighty-Eight: Father and Daughter
Xiaocao was busy pretending to be a child, went up and hugged his arm and shook it, and said, "Dad, I'm not tired!" Besides, I'll just mix the bait and sprinkle it in the pond, and you'll do the rest. You are one of the best fishers in the village, and you are definitely better at catching a few small fish than I am! Let's go, let's go! Catch more small fish and raise them in the idle broken tank in the backyard, and you can make more bad fish to sell tomorrow afternoon! ”
Yu Hai couldn't help but beg, carried Liu's back, quietly took Xiaocao, and took a shortcut from the backyard to the pond. The backyard of their house is not as good as the front yard, it is fenced with bamboo and branches, and a back door is specially opened on the fence to make it easy to enter and exit.
Xiaocao specially poured some bean noodles in the kitchen, mixed them with vegetable oil, cut them into small cubes, and used them as bait. Xiao Shi is young and thinks simply, her father is a veteran of fishing, and he can't let him notice about the Lingshi water luring fish.
She took out the stoneware pot from the room, the little multicolored stone lying at the bottom of the jar, and the little golden milk cat lying next to the jar and stretching her waist. Seeing her, Xiao Mending Tianshi said angrily: [What are you doing? Such a good spirit stone water is actually used to lure fish to the bait, it is simply a tyrannical thing! It's going to be struck! 】
Xiaocao looked at the people around, and said loudly: "Xiao Tangyuan, don't be afraid, isn't there you?" Aren't you the divine stone carefully smelted by Nuwa Niangniang? Thunder Male Lightning Mother can't give you much face? Let's go, don't you like to swim? Get into the pond and swim your fill! ”
[Don't, don't! But don't put me in the water, you might get something! Don't you need small fish? Water from a jar is enough! In the past few days, Xiao Tianshi has been in the depths of the mountains and forests, and has chosen a deep pool with pure aura as his cultivation place. Unexpectedly, within a few days, it attracted fierce beasts in the mountains. A python dived into a deep pool and almost swallowed its body.
Xiao Mending Tianshi was afraid that Xiaocao would throw himself into the pond, and if it was swallowed by ducks or fish, wouldn't it have to go to the animal's intestines for a day trip? It's dirty, it's stinky! It doesn't want to!
Xiaocao brought it back to his wrist and asked softly, "Is this the end of my father's leg?" ”
The golden little milk cat flew to the top of her head, lying on it like a hen hugging her nest, and said arrogantly: [Underestimate the divine power of this divine stone, your father's legs will be better, but after all, the muscles and bones are too badly damaged, and it is impossible to fully recover. In the future, you may have to walk a little bumpy, not too obvious! 】
Xiaocao came to the backyard with the spirit stone water put in the "bait", and Yu Hai was already waiting there. Considering that his legs were not good, the father and daughter chose a place with a relatively gentle slope and went down to the edge of the pond.
Xiaocao put the "bait" into the pond, and Yu Hai asked with a little worry: "Cao'er, put it like this, what if the jar drifts away?" Tie it to the mouth of the can with a rope! ”
"I'll go get the rope!" Xiaocao felt that what he said made sense, and stood up and was about to run back.
Her father stopped her and said, "You don't have to go back...... Wait a minute! ”
Yu Hai dragged a few handfuls of withered yellow weeds from the edge of the pond, rubbed them with his dexterous hand a few times, and a long grass rope was soon born from his hands. Xiaocao secretly exclaimed in his heart: Don't underestimate the wisdom and ability of the ancients!
With the rope and the help of his father, Xiaocao put the jar farther away, holding the net in his hand and preparing to catch the fish.
In the afternoon, the Xiaocao sisters and brothers caught hundreds of fish in less than an hour, and Yu Hai thought she had a good idea. Put bait in the jar to fish, he also did it when he was a child, and he may not be able to catch a dozen or so in the morning, is this how his daughter fishes at noon?
In the midst of doubt, the small fish that sensed the aura nearby swam towards the clay pot like a pilgrimage, and they couldn't get rid of it. Yu Hai looked at the more and more fish that were gathering, and his heart was horrified - this, this is also incredible!
In a moment's hesitation, Xiaocao had already picked up the net and carefully scooped up the fish. It's strange to say that the net pocket stretched out, and none of those fish who had always been dexterous dodged it. My daughter's net, every time I go down, I catch several fish.
Yu Hai stared blankly at her daughter's pretty little face, thinking that she seemed to be a different person since she hit her head last summer, and there were always endless ways to make money in her mind.
After the separation, the grass was planted first. Originally, he took pity on his daughter and couldn't bear to refuse her, so he had the idea of wasting a few bags of vegetable seeds and not wanting his daughter to be disappointed, so he supported her. As a result, the vegetable garden in front of the house and behind the house, after only a few days, was covered with a layer of green, and those short-term ripening vegetables such as small greens and spinach were almost as long as his fingers. The vegetables that grow for a long time also send out small green shoots, which are extremely pleasing to look at.
Then I made some braised vegetables, specially marinated some things that people don't eat or don't want, chicken intestines, pig intestines, pig head meat...... Today, I even got the pig's blood back, saying that it was a blood sausage...... Thinking about the stewed pig brain that day, it was disgusting to look at, but she actually made it a supreme delicacy.
Now he uses small spiny fish that no one eats to make a crispy and rotten fish. The most horrible thing is her fishing method, what is in that jar that makes the fish go against their habits and gather one after another? Even a novice fisherman knows that such a spectacle should not exist.
What happened to his daughter when she was injured and unconscious? Is it really as she said, when she met the God of Wealth in the Hades Palace, and when she got the wealth of the God of Wealth, she would have a little gold?
Yu Hai didn't suspect that his daughter had changed her soul. The drama of borrowing corpses to resurrect souls is more bizarre and incredible than going to the Hades Palace and drinking Meng Po soup by mistake, isn't it?
No way! This ability of my daughter cannot be known to others. If someone sees her, they will catch her and burn her like a monster! His good daughter, who has been in many disasters since she was born, has been on the verge of life and death many times, and he, as a father, has not fulfilled his responsibilities before and failed to protect their mothers and sons. From now on, he will act as an umbrella for his daughter and break all possible crises for her.
"Cao'er, in the future, you will match the bait, and the fishing will be done by your father! In the morning, when you go to sell braised vegetables, I will catch the fish and let your mother clean it up, and you will come back at noon to make it. Doesn't this save a lot of time? Yu Hai said suddenly.
Xiao Cao's action of catching fish paused, Yu Hai's gaze lingered on her for a long time, and she also felt it, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous at that time. She already knew that her father was not easy to fool, and she had thought of a set of rhetoric in her heart, wondering if he would believe it. Unexpectedly, Yu Hai saw such a bizarre scene, he didn't ask anything, and took on the task of fishing in the future.
What kind of trust is this, what kind of love for women is this!
Xiaocao was moved with a slight sour, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, she nodded vigorously, and said, "Hmm! Everyone said that my father was a good fisherman, and he was definitely better at catching fish than me! That's hard daddy!! ”
"Family, what kind of hard work? If you want to say hard work, you are the hardest in the past few days! This home, without you, I don't know what it would become......" Yu Hai sighed with emotion.
Indeed, if there is no great change in the grass. The young son, the sick and weak daughter, the capable but sickly lady, plus the half-crippled him, only Xiaolian alone, can't afford to bear the burden as heavy as this mountain.
Fortunately, God did not abandon them, gave his wife and daughter a healthy body, let his legs recover day by day, and gave his daughter the skills to survive......
A hearty smile appeared at the corner of Yu Hai's mouth, and he waved the net in his hand to catch the fish quickly, accurately and steadily. His speed is much faster than that of a half-hung grass. Because the net he was holding in his hand was relatively strong, the father and daughter also caught a big fish weighing five pounds.
When the sun set, the father and daughter returned with a full load. Xiaocao staggered and carried a bucket full of small fish, walking in the golden sunset, her little face was reflected red, and her eyes were dyed golden by the sunset.
Yu Hai carried two buckets full of fish, limped behind her, and asked from time to time, "Are you tired?" If you can't carry it, give it to Dad, Dad's left hand is still empty! ”
"I can carry it!" Xiaocao grinned and carried the bucket, happy even though her shoes were wet from the shaking of the bucket, and even though the bucket in her hand hurt her arm. Today, the distance between her and her father seems to have narrowed a lot, and the originally weak family affection seems to be gradually becoming sticky because of her father's maintenance......
Liu, who had already marinated the pig's head and large intestine, went to call Xiaocao up to eat, only to find that the house was empty, the kang was cold, and the quilt was folded well.
Liu went around to the back of the house, and saw the father and daughter coming in with a bucket with a smile on their faces, a smile climbed into the corner of their eyes, but they said in their mouths: "Cao'er, didn't you let you rest?" Why did you run to catch fish again? Her father, you too, don't know if you feel sorry for your child, don't exhaust your daughter! ”
"Mother! I'm not tired!! Besides, I didn't catch a few fishes, I sat on the shore and played. These fish were all caught by Daddy! Look at! We also caught a big fish and had a snack in the evening! Xiaocao grinned triumphantly.
Liu smiled helplessly, walked to her side, took the bucket in her hand, poured it into the open water tank in the backyard, nodded her head, and said, "You! For the money, it's really hard enough! Hungry, right? Let's not wait for Xiaolian and them, let's eat first......"
"Let's wait for the stones to come back and eat together! They are also coming back soon, and the family eats together, lively! I'll make another fish head soup, cook a braised fish cube, and we'll have a good meal! Xiaocao has gradually regarded this place as her own home in her heart, and believes that with her own efforts, this home will definitely get better and better.
